Jianshu and Pan Ning both planned to go through the motions and deal with those who were urging them to get married. This time they would just be spectators.

However, Jianshu felt quite happy being a spectator. She had never participated in such an event which was called a social gathering but was actually a large-scale blind date event. This was her first time to watch people go on blind dates in person, which was quite novel.

I looked at the people around me with interest, listened to the self-introductions of the man and woman, and thought to myself: Self-introduction is really an indispensable part of a blind date.

But then again, blind dates mean there is no emotional foundation. It’s basically the first time everyone meets each other. If you don’t introduce yourself, how can others judge whether you are suitable or not?

Looking at the somewhat awkward expressions of the man and woman, and listening to their conversation in which the nervousness was evident in their tone, it felt like I was witnessing the beginning of a relationship.

At this time, people are all innocent and shy. From time to time, if their eyes meet, they will immediately dodge away as if they were electrocuted. The air is filled with a green and hazy atmosphere. It is really the taste of youth!

But it was not appropriate for her to keep staring at others, as that was too impolite, so she glanced at Jianshu casually and then looked away.

However, she could control her eyes and just not see, but she couldn't control her ears and what she heard.

In addition, her hearing was very good. Although the auditorium was noisy, she could still hear the conversation coming from not far away.

The auditorium is so small that you can hear other people's conversations no matter where you are. It's unavoidable, so Jianshu didn't move to another location.

Most people who come to the social gathering have no experience in interacting with the opposite sex, and they don’t know what to talk about when they are alone, so they can only rack their brains to find topics.

So Jianshu heard a lot of dry and meaningless conversations.

"Did you eat dinner? What did you eat?"

"I've eaten at the cafeteria at your machinery factory. The four-happiness meatballs made by the chef there are particularly delicious."

Jianshu couldn't help but laugh at what he heard. Is it true that Chinese people are foodies? When acquaintances greet each other, the first thing they ask is: "Have you eaten?"

Now, blind dates and chats are all about food. We really are a country of foodies.

The most important thing for two strangers to chat is to find common topics so that the conversation can continue. Jianshu listened to a young man and woman talking about work, hobbies, and family, and finally found a common ground, and slowly things got better.

It worked! Seeing the two chatting enthusiastically, and their words becoming less awkward than they were at the beginning, Jianshu knew that they were basically going to make it.

Relationships are very simple nowadays. After meeting once, if there is a good impression of each other and the family agrees, marriage can basically be a natural outcome.

As for whether or not you love someone, it doesn't matter. Humans are emotional creatures, and over time, feelings will gradually develop.

You stand on the bridge and watch the scenery, and the people watching the scenery watch you on the bridge.

Jianshu was happily watching the excitement, feeling the young love of the boys and girls, and occasionally chatting with Pan Ning, but she didn't know that she had also become the center of attention.

Although the place they chose was remote, the auditorium was only a small space, and it was unlikely that everyone would ignore this small corner.

Most people who glanced through the auditorium couldn't look away when their eyes fell on this corner.

Seeing that there were no other men around the two of them, many people came over.

Jianshu Pan Ning's quietness was broken, and many people invited her, but they were all politely rejected by the two.

They are all decent people. No matter what they think in their hearts after being rejected, they remain calm, smile, say sorry for disturbing you, and turn away.

Although he was not being harassed by anyone, Jianshu was still a little annoyed by the series of events that had just happened. Seeing that there were many people around him who were eager to try, Jianshu decided to go out and hide, and get some fresh air.

"Ningning, it's a bit stuffy in there. Let's go out and get some fresh air." Jianshu said, nudging Pan Ning with his elbow.

It just so happened that Pan Ning was a little annoyed, so he immediately agreed after hearing Jianshu's suggestion.

"Okay, I'm a little bored too, let's go out."

The two of them stood up from their seats and walked towards the door.

The other people who were originally preparing to come up and chat with them saw the two people preparing to leave, and did not step forward to block their way with any expression of confusion.

Walked out of the auditorium and found a secluded place to stay.

Jianshu looked up at the stars in the night sky, feeling the breeze on his face, and the irritability in his heart was gradually soothed.

"Alas, the social gathering is really boring and troublesome. I regret coming to it." Pan Ning sighed and said while looking at the night sky.

Jianshu did the same thing, gazing at the starry sky. Although she had been looking at such a pure night sky for two years, she still never got tired of it.

"Me too. It's really too much trouble to attend the social gathering. Next time there's an event like this, I won't come no matter what Sister Liu and the others say."

They had originally thought of finding a secluded place to hide away, but the auditorium was so large, how could there be a quiet place? Not to mention that their appearance would attract even more attention.

Although talking about appearance is a bit superficial, what else can make an impression besides appearance at first glance? Talent? Conversation? Family background? None of them.

"We can stay for another half an hour and then leave." Jian Shu retracted his gaze, patted Pan Ning's shoulder and said.

"Oh, I don't know which leader came up with this idea. This time they even set a time for leaving. This is really..." Pan Ning shook his head and sighed.

"Yeah, I originally thought of staying for half an hour and then leaving, but I didn't expect there would be such a trick." Jianshu felt a little helpless when talking about this.

There was no such thing before. I could leave whenever I wanted.

"Okay, let's stop talking about these things. It's a bit cold outside. Let's go in first." Pan Ning shook his head to dispel the thoughts in his mind, pulled his coat together and said.

Jian Shu refused: "You go in first, I'll stay outside for a while and then go in later."

There are too many people inside, almost two or three hundred people. With so many people in there, how can the air be good?

"How about I accompany you? It's too dark outside."

"No need, you go in first, don't catch a cold. I'll stay here alone for a while, don't worry." Jian Shu pushed Pan Ning in.

Pan Ning was really a little cold, and knowing Jian Shu's fighting ability, he didn't struggle and followed her strength to leave. "Okay, I'll go in first, you come in early."

Staying outside to admire the moon and looking at the beautiful night sky, Jianshu's mood also improved a lot.

Time passed by minute by minute, and she couldn't stay outside any longer. It was time to go in.

Just as he was about to turn around, he heard footsteps behind him and stopped.

She originally thought that Pan Ning was worried about her and came out to look for her, but she soon found out that it was not the case.

The footsteps were heavy and powerful, clearly those of a man. However, Jian Shu didn't pay much attention to it. Perhaps it was someone who had just come out for some fresh air like her?

Just as she was about to leave, she unexpectedly heard footsteps stop not far behind her.

Jianshu was a little surprised and turned around to look at the person who came. He was stunned for a moment.
