That evening, the singles party officially began.

At the end, someone gossiped with Lin Chuchu that Researcher Tian and Du Lingling had confirmed their relationship.

Lin Chuchu looked incredulous. "How is that possible? What was Researcher Tian thinking? He stood her up at her engagement party, and now he wants to date her?"

Xiao Lu was also somewhat incredulous. "I heard from others that Researcher Tian brought this up on his own initiative. However, Lingling said that he is still under observation and could be dumped at any time if he is not suitable."

Lin Chuchu clicked her tongue in amazement. Du Lingling was really reckless; how could she say something like that?

However, the two were indeed very destined to be together. They met through a blind date, got engaged but were stood up, later joined a research institute, and were then assigned to the same base.

Actually, it would be great if the two of them could really get together.

Lin Chuchu was very curious about what had happened between the two of them that day, so she asked Xiao Lu about what had happened.

At the beginning of the party, everyone was quite reserved, but they started to take the initiative, especially the girls, who would ask about any guys they liked.

In the crowd, Researcher Tian, ​​dressed in flamboyant clothes, stood impatiently next to Feng Tao.

Feng Tao was young and, seeing the enthusiastic people present, hid behind Researcher Tian in fear.

Unfortunately, they couldn't escape. Even Zhou Lichen, with a dark expression, had several people looking for him, and he sat there for a long time without moving.

Seeing Feng Tao being invited away by an enthusiastic young lady, Researcher Tian gave him a helpless look. He was barely able to take care of himself, so how could he possibly care about others?

To present a disheveled image, his clothes were wrinkled, and he hadn't shaved that morning, leaving stubble on his chin, giving him a颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a sense of decadence, listlessness, or apathy) appearance.

After all, he's the most experienced at avoiding blind dates.

Even so, some girls saw through his facade and invited him to sit down and talk.

The other party naturally wants to know how much he earns, what his family's financial situation is like, and how easy it is to get along with his parents.

Researcher Tian then discussed research with the other party, showcasing his charm as a researcher.

What he most wanted to portray was that he was boring, had low emotional intelligence, and was blunt.

However, the woman in front of him had a very persistent spirit and seemed to be more interested in Researcher Tian.

"Comrade Tian, ​​I am a kindergarten teacher and I am very patient with children. I have raised most of the children in the base."

“I’m 28 years old this year and I’m still not married because I haven’t met the right person. I want to find someone to settle down with. If Comrade Tian agrees to date me, I’m willing to have children immediately after we get married.”

The woman was pretty and seemed older than her age. She didn't have the shyness of a young girl; she spoke frankly and clearly explained her situation.

Researcher Tian glanced at the woman up and down. He noticed calluses on her hands, indicating that she was a skilled worker.

A sense of helplessness flashed in his eyes. Ever since that incident, he had wanted to find someone to spend his life with, but he could always see that person's shadow in these girls.

It's not that I still think about that person, I'm just scared. I'm afraid that the girls who get close to him might have ulterior motives.

He always felt that getting married so hastily was unfair to the girl.

He couldn't say it directly, so he softened his voice, "I'm sorry, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Du Lingling suddenly sat down next to the woman, staring straight at Researcher Tian with a faint smile on her lips.

"Comrade Tian, ​​my qualifications are also quite good. Would you like to consider me? I'm also a researcher, and we have a lot in common."

The woman was unhappy to see someone competing with her, but when she heard about the other person's job, she immediately felt threatened. Moreover, Du Lingling in front of her was prettier and younger than her. How could she possibly compete with her?

Knowing that I would fail, I still had a sliver of hope. Maybe Comrade Tian wasn't the kind of person who cared about appearances?

Thinking of this, his gaze fell on Researcher Tian across from him, as if he were waiting for Researcher Tian's answer.

Researcher Tian's gaze never left Du Lingling's face from the moment she appeared.

Seeing this, what doesn't a woman know?

They've found their match.

The woman gave a cold snort, stood up, and left.

Seeing her leave, Du Lingling leaned back lazily in her chair. "I helped you solve your blind date problem, how are you going to thank me?"

Her voice was slightly upturned, carrying a hint of playfulness and liveliness.

Researcher Tian picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea. If you looked closely, you could see that his hand was trembling slightly.

The Du Lingling before me overlapped with the woman in my memory, not in appearance, but in personality.

That's why he'd rather risk running away from her wedding than get engaged to her.

However, he knew that the two women were different, and he couldn't judge all women based on one incident.

Seeing that Researcher Tian did not speak, Du Lingling sneered and glanced at the men and women present.

At that time, blind dates were very simple. As long as you hit it off, you could inquire about each other's family backgrounds, and then get engaged and married.

Some even skip the engagement and go straight to marriage.

She wasn't the type to pester someone relentlessly, and the good impression she had of Researcher Tian when they first met had completely vanished, so she never intended to keep bothering him.

However, she is not that old, so she has no plans to find a partner.

I was gloating for a while when I saw Researcher Tian being pestered, but in the end I decided to help him out.

When Researcher Tian noticed that she wasn't looking at him, he asked in a low voice after a while, "Comrade Du, let's be a couple."
