Huo Yulian said, "I asked Jiaojiao. Wu Yemao had a girlfriend before, but they both went to the countryside as educated youth and were assigned to different places, so they broke up."
"During his time in the countryside, Wu Yemao also dated a female educated youth. I heard that she was admitted to university, so she broke up with Wu Yemao."
"But the female educated youth was quite nice. Even though they broke up, to compensate Wu Yemao for all the years of care he had given her, she had his family transfer his household registration to the city of Beijing and even arranged a job for him."
Yunduan frowned, "What job?"
Huo Yulian said, "He worked at the Cultural Bureau, but Wu Yemao was illiterate and was ostracized there, so he simply resigned and started selling big bowls of tea on his own."
"This is his mother's death anniversary, and he came back to pay his respects. He rarely comes back normally."
"But the house in the courtyard that his parents left for him has always been empty."
Yunduan asked, "Wu Yemao's parents are both dead?"
Huo Yulian said, "Yes! His mother died giving birth to him. His father missed his mother so much that he passed away not long after."
"He grew up with his grandparents and was later adopted by his uncle."
After hearing this, Yun Duan sighed and said, "His life story is quite complicated."
Both his parents died when he was young, and he was abandoned by his partner when he grew up...
However, Yunduan asked, "Are you sure that the female educated youth and Wu Yemao were just in a relationship and not married?"
If they had broken up peacefully, the female educated youth would not have had to compensate Wu Yemao so much, transfer her household registration to the old city, and arrange a job for her.
Huo Yulian said, "No, I also felt strange at the time and asked specifically."
As the two were talking, Wu Yemao came back with two bottles of Arctic Ocean soda, orange flavor.
His eyes were burning, carrying the heat from a run in the sun, and he leaned in closer, emitting the stench of sweat, "You must be thirsty, here's some water for you!"
Yunduan saw that Huo Yulian accepted it, and without any hesitation, he said thank you to Wu Yemao.
Wu Yemao took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. This action caused his sleeves to slide down, revealing the large gold watch on his wrist.
When the sun shines on it, the big gold watch sparkles.
Yunduan noticed that Wu Yemao looked at Huo Yulian specifically, and when he saw the look of admiration in Huo Yulian's eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up.
Cloud: “…”
Wu Yemao looked down at the time on his big gold watch again. "It's almost noon. I'll treat you to dinner."
Huo Yulian said, "Okay."
Yunduan could see that Huo Yulian was quite satisfied with Wu Yemao and didn't want to be a light bulb anymore, so he interrupted and said, "I won't go."
"I have something else to do, you guys go eat."
Wu Yemao didn't say anything, but looked at Huo Yulian.
Huo Yulian held onto Yunduan, unwilling to let go, "Let's eat first before we leave."
Yunduan smiled, "With me here, there are some things you can't say. I'll be leaving first."
Only then did Huo Yulian let her go and go to eat with Wu Yemao.
The sun was so strong that it was hard to open one's eyes. Yunduan had to get up early in the morning, so he simply went back to the guesthouse.
When I passed by a noodle shop near the guesthouse, I ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles and then went back to the guesthouse to catch up on some sleep.
When I woke up, the room was pitch black. I opened the curtains and saw that thousands of lights were on outside.
She actually slept for several hours.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
There was a knock on the door, followed by Huo Yulian's voice, "Duanduan, Duanduan?"
Yunduan got up to open the door and saw Huo Yulian standing at the door with a smile on her face. As soon as he saw her like this, he knew that this blind date was a success.
"Have you eaten?" Huo Yulian walked in, glanced at the spread-out quilt on the bed, and said with a smile, "You just got up."
Yunduan nodded and closed the door, "Yes, I'm hungry and plan to go out to eat something. Have you eaten yet?
Huo Yulian asked: "Brother Wu took me to eat, but I can eat with you again."
Yunduan laughed, "Not full? He's so stingy."
Huo Yulian said, "No, he ordered a lot of dishes, but I was pretending to be polite and ate less."
Yunduan smiled, Huo Yulian really liked Wu Yemao.
She tied her hair back into a ponytail with an elastic band, changed into her going-out shoes, hooked her hand in Huo Yulian's, and said, "When is the next time Wu Yemao wants to meet you?"
Huo Yulian said, "No, but he left his address so we can exchange letters."
Yunduan nodded, "Alright, let's understand first."
"Go on a few more blind dates and pick the best one."
Huo Yulian was shocked. "How can this be allowed? Wouldn't this be unfair to Wu Yemao?"
Yunduan asked, "Are you and Wu Yemao confirmed to be boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Huo Yulian shook her head. "No, but I can sense that he has a good impression of me, otherwise he wouldn't have said so. We continue to exchange letters and become pen pals."
Yunduan said, "Pen pals aren't dating, and how do you know he won't go on a blind date with someone else in the future?"
Huo Yulian frowned, "It seems so, but I feel uncomfortable when I hear it."
Yunduan said, "... what's wrong with picking a few, picking the best? Marriage is a major event in life."
Huo Yulian nodded, "You're right!"
She looked up and saw a noodle shop not far away, "Let's go eat noodles."
Yunduan shook his head. "I just had noodles at noon, and now I want to eat." He pointed to the small restaurant next to him and said, "Let's go eat there."
Huo Yulian said, "Okay, what do you want to eat? The last time I came here, I had stewed bacon with mushrooms. It was delicious and very fragrant."
Yunduan said, "Will bacon be very fatty?"
Huo Yulian's eyes lit up. "It's fatty! Lots of oil, and tastes delicious."
