Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Sending clothes.
Lin Mo was stunned.
Before, her grandfather said he would introduce her to the grandson of an old friend, who was a million times better than Xu Tingzhou. He mentioned it several times later and asked her to wait for the boy to contact her. She thought her grandfather was confused and didn't take it seriously. She didn't expect it to be true.
After ending the call with Wei Wei, Lin Mo quickly accepted the other party's friend request and sent a message.
MM wants to become stronger: [Hello, nice to meet you (Minions happy expression)]
wind:【? 】
Feng: [Why wait so long?]
Lin Mo was confused by the question and looked up at the time. Only three minutes had passed since he sent the first verification message. Could it be that WeChat had a feature that allowed the other party to see that she was talking to someone else?
MM wants to become stronger: [Sorry, I didn't pay attention just now and kept you waiting for a long time. Forgive me. ]
Because she had a positive attitude towards the blind date, she tried her best to appear extremely friendly. She first sent a little rabbit apologizing emoticon and then followed it with a new text.
MM wants to become stronger: [Excuse me, what should I call you? ]
Feng: [Do I need to introduce myself? You don’t know?]
Lin Mo was surprised. Could it be someone she knew?
I clicked on the other person's profile page. His WeChat nickname was just one word, "Feng", and his avatar was a red Porsche sports car. It must have been a picture downloaded from the Internet. There was a fragment of the source URL in the lower right corner. I then went to his Moments, which had ten messages in total, all of which were motivational quotes about success.
She couldn't figure out who it was, so she asked.
MM wants to become stronger: [Do we know each other? ]
After sending this message, I waited for nearly ten minutes before receiving a reply from the other party.
wind:【? 】
Feng: [Don't pretend]
No, why do I feel like this person is weird?
Lin Mo was speechless. Although this was her first blind date, she could still tell whether the other person was nice or not. She didn't understand why the tone was so harsh. After a moment's pause, she wondered if the other person had already told her grandfather the details, but because her grandfather was confused and couldn't remember, he couldn't tell her.
Thinking about it this way, she decided to give it another try. If the other party still had this bad attitude, then forget it. She came to the blind date with sincerity, which did not mean that she would rush to accommodate strange people.
MM wants to become stronger: [Sorry, my grandfather...]
Before I finished typing, the other party sent me a new message: [Sorry, busy, chat back.]
“…”
He was the one who took the initiative to add her as a friend, so didn't that mean they could chat for a while? Lin Mo frowned in disbelief, her eyes falling on the word "sorry". Well, he was quite polite. It wasn't ruled out that he might have wanted to chat, but something unexpected happened.
Lin Mo tried to understand.
MM wants to become stronger: [Okay, then you go ahead and do your thing, we’ll talk later.]
I didn’t expect that blind dates would be so brain-intensive and energy-consuming. I felt so tired after just chatting for a few minutes.

Lin Jingwen stayed in the hospital for nearly two weeks, covering both New Year's Eve and the Lunar New Year holiday. Many old friends, colleagues, and relatives, both near and far, visited or called to check in. The nursing home's designated caregiver was on vacation, so Lin Mo stayed with him the entire time, unable to handle everything on her own. At first, she'd been preoccupied with waiting for her blind date's WeChat messages, but then, with so many other things to do, she gradually forgot.
After being discharged from the hospital on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year and returning to his room in the sanatorium, Lin Jingwen suddenly asked.
"Qingqing, how was your conversation with the boy?"
Lin Mo finally remembered this and glanced at her chat history. Her conversation with the man named Feng was still stuck at "reply chat" two weeks ago. According to blind date convention, two weeks without contact meant there was no point in continuing, right? Or was he just waiting for her to initiate contact? After all, he'd been the one to add her the first time.
Lin Mo wasn't sure.
Looking at her grandfather's expectant eyes, she smiled and evaded the question: "It's okay."
Lin Jingwen smiled broadly: "That's good, that's good, you two can have a good chat."
"Grandpa, what does he do?" Lin Mo took the opportunity to ask.
Lin Jingwen sat in a wheelchair, looking at the big red lanterns hanging on the balcony, and thought for a moment: "That boy is capable. He can start his own business and become a boss. He has the freedom of work and is not busy. When he is not busy, he can take care of the family and take good care of Qingqing..."
"Wow, starting your own company is great." Lin Mo continued to ask, as if coaxing a child, "Grandpa, what's his name?"
"Call……"
Lin Jingwen half-closed his eyes, wrinkles piled up like hills between his eyebrows. He couldn't remember anything for a long time, and was anxious as if he had done something wrong. "What was it called? Oh, my memory..."
Lin Mo couldn't bear it, so she didn't dare ask any more questions. She smiled sweetly and soothed him gently, "You have a good memory. You must be tired. Just take a rest and I'm sure you'll remember everything."
After the nurse pushed Grandpa into the room, Lin Mo turned on her phone again and switched to Hefeng's chat interface. After hesitating for a few seconds, she took the initiative to send a message: [Happy New Year, do you have time to chat?]
After all, it was my grandfather who introduced it, so there must be a clear conclusion as to whether it succeeds or not.
However, the message fell on deaf ears and I waited for an hour without any reply from the other party.
Just as Lin Mo was about to drive home, her cell phone vibrated. She thought it was a reply from her blind date, so she didn't start the car, took out her cell phone from her bag, opened WeChat, and saw that the person who sent the message was actually Lu Yanxiao.
Lu Yanxiao: [Excuse me, is there a blue bag in the trunk?]
Lin Mo subconsciously glanced back and replied: [Okay, wait a moment.]
About a week ago, the valet called her again to say the garage door hadn't been fixed yet, and told her to use the car they provided. So, during this time, she'd been driving the same car between home and the hospital, but she was always the only one in the car. Whenever she brought anything, she'd just put it in the passenger seat or the back seat, never using the trunk.
After getting out of the car, Lin Mo walked around to the trunk, opened the door and saw a blue paper bag lying there.
She immediately took a photo and sent it to Lu Yanxiao.
Lin Mo: [Mr. Lu, is this it?]
Lu Yanxiao: [Yes.]
Lu Yanxiao: [Could you please personally deliver it?]
She already owed Lu Yanxiao a favor and also owed him a meal. Since someone else took the initiative to ask for her favor, there was no reason for her to refuse.
Lin Mo: [Sure, if it's convenient, I'd like to treat you to a meal. Thank you for your help last time.]
Lu Yanxiao: [Okay.]
Lu Yanxiao sent the address over, which was an indoor sports center in the north of the city. The sanatorium was in the southernmost suburbs. Plus, it was during the Spring Festival holiday, so it was impossible to order express delivery. She really had to do the "human delivery".
The number of tourists coming to Shaofeng City increased dramatically during the Spring Festival. Beautiful figures wearing Hanfu could be seen everywhere on the road, as well as young faces cosplaying as comic book characters. Lin Mo drove slowly on the crowded road, and her mood became better as she looked at the youthful and beautiful scenes on the roadside.
After passing through the most congested scenic area, the vehicle headed north and arrived near the sports center.
The sports center seemed to be hosting some kind of event. Many people, dressed in red, were gathered around, all clutching some sort of cheering item, all full of energy, as they headed towards the entrance. Lin Mo emerged from the parking lot, paper bag in hand, and soon caught sight of the large LED screen, scrolling through the news: "L Basketball Club Entertainment Game!"
Turns out there was a basketball game, no wonder it was so lively.
There was a long line at the entrance for ticket inspection. Lin Mo, as agreed, went to the relatively quiet side door. Just as she was about to send a message to Lu Yanxiao, two tall figures approached. Without looking up, she stepped aside to make way. But halfway through typing on her phone, she vaguely realized something was wrong: the two men hadn't left.
Lin Mo raised her eyes and looked over. The two men had walked up to her without her knowing when.
One of them smiled and waved at her, his expression slightly nervous: "Hello, beautiful lady, my name is Huo Fei, may I have the honor of adding your contact information?"
Unlike today's flashy red, the girl was dressed in a low-key style, with a dark grey short jacket on the upper body, blue jeans and white sneakers on the lower body. It couldn't be simpler, but because it was a little slim, it further highlighted her beautiful figure and demeanor. Just a silhouette attracted Huo Fei's attention.
As if noticing his gaze, the girl raised her head and looked over.
Unexpectedly, beneath the neat attire was a face of outstanding temperament, quiet and gentle. The wind seemed to favor her, blowing her hair and revealing the girl's smooth and delicate jaw. She reached out to tuck her hair behind her ears, with a faint smile in her dark eyes.
Huo Fei couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast, and asked for the contact information without even thinking.
"Sorry, don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. I seem to have fallen in love with you at first sight..."
"Lin Mo." A cold voice interrupted Huo Fei's incoherent speech.
The three of them looked over when they heard the sound and called out in unison.
"Boss Xiao."
"Mr. Lu."
They also know Lu Yanxiao? Great!
Lin Mo seemed to have met her savior and waved at Lu Yanxiao with a smile.
Although she had been approached many times before, she was never able to handle it with ease. Every time she refused, she felt under tremendous psychological pressure, fearing that she would be retaliated against. Today, the tall and strong Huo Fei looked scary.
She almost trotted towards Lu Yanxiao.
"So we know each other, it's fate. Don't be afraid, pretty girl, I'm really not a bad person." Huo Fei grinned with his big white teeth, full of joy, "I'm a serious basketball player, if you don't believe me, ask Xiao--ah!"
"Why are you pinching me?" Huo Fei was a thick-skinned man who had no idea what his friend was up to.
“I—Ah!”
His friend pinched his arm again, and Huo Fei became anxious and wanted to fight back.
The friend couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and with a forced smile on his face, he put his arms around Huo Fei's neck, forcing the 1.9-meter tall man to bend over. He leaned close to his ear and gritted his teeth, "You idiot, can't you see that girl and President Xiao..."
Huo Fei was confused at first, but when he saw Lu Yanxiao slightly leaning to the side, clearly trying to protect Lin Mo behind him, he immediately understood. His heart, which had been pounding like a deer, immediately started beating like a mad bull!
It’s over. He actually coveted the boss’s woman in front of the boss. Is he going to be fired?
"Xiao, Boss Xiao, I, beautiful lady, I was just joking..."
"Aren't you going in to prepare?"
Lu Yanxiao's voice was calm, and no emotion could be heard from it, but they understood that cold look too well; it was definitely a prelude to a stabbing.
Huo Fei was terrified. He said "I'll go right away" and immediately flew out the side door, as if his life would be in danger if he was even a second late.
Huo Fei looked tall and strong, which was quite intimidating. But now he was running away foolishly. The contrast was so great that it was actually quite funny. Lin Mo couldn't help laughing.
"Are you not afraid anymore?" Lu Yanxiao asked in a deep voice.
Lin Mo was surprised that Lu Yanxiao had seen through her thoughts in such a short time. Was he going to punish those two? The "L" in "L Basketball Club" probably stood for "Lu," implying that Lu Yanxiao was the club's owner. Huo Fei's polite request for his contact information wasn't a mistake, but he didn't want her to get scolded by the boss because of him.
"No, they just said hello." Lin Mo smiled and handed the bag to Lu Yanxiao, "What you want."
"Thank you." Lu Yanxiao took the bag. "Would you like to go in and watch the game?"
Lin Mo instinctively wanted to refuse, she knew nothing about basketball.
Lu Yanxiao: "Let's eat together after this."
"Okay." Lin Mo responded.
She still owed Lu Yanxiao a meal, and since there was nothing else to do, she might as well just wait and see.
As the club's magnate, Lu Yanxiao was respected wherever he went. Everyone he met addressed him as "Boss Xiao" and greeted him politely. Lin Mo followed him, trying to be as discreet as possible. As she walked, she glanced into the stadium. The atmosphere was electric, and the stands were packed, like a celebrity concert.
Walking through the side passage, Lu Yanxiao led her directly to an area separated from the athletes' waiting area by a single board. Wang Qian, as if having received a notification, was waiting there, carrying a bag.
"Ms. Lin, I'll take you there."
"Okay, thank you." Lin Mo waved slightly to Lu Yanxiao, indicating that she would go first.
