In a few days it will be New Year's Eve. Lao Xiao and Xiao Yao finally put down their work and the whole family prepared for the New Year together, buying New Year's goods, doing a thorough cleaning, and visiting the flower market. This is the happiest moment of the Spring Festival for Xiao Yao.
"Why don't we buy a peach tree this year? It'll bring us some good luck in finding love," Xiao Yao said, pulling Xiao Yao along as she saw the peach tree in full bloom.
Today, when the family went to the flower market, Lao Xiao, Xiao Guowei, and Liu Yan had wandered off somewhere, leaving her and Xiao Yao to wander around aimlessly.
Xiao Yao glanced at her indifferently, "Didn't Mom say you're going on blind dates right now? What more do you need in terms of finding a partner?"
Xiao Yao was taken aback, then said nonchalantly, "A blind date isn't marriage, and I don't like that guy."
Ever since that blind date, Zhong Xuyang has been sending her WeChat messages every day and asking her out several times, but she has refused each time. He still won't give up and keeps asking her out, which is getting a little annoying to her.
Xiao Yao was surprised, "You don't like him? Sister Yan is so satisfied with that man, she talks about him every day at home, even talking about what your future children will be named."
"Her satisfaction doesn't mean I'm satisfied." Xiao Yao pouted. She didn't know what kind of spell Zhong Xuyang had cast on her mother, but Liu Yan really liked Zhong Xuyang and kept asking her about their progress. This was one of the reasons why Xiao Yao was annoyed by Zhong Xuyang.
Looking at the countless peach blossoms on the peach tree, Xiao Yao suddenly remembered something and turned to ask him, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to introduce a guy to me?"
Xiao Yao guessed her meaning almost immediately and asked impatiently, "What do you want?"
Sure enough, Xiao Yao suggested, "How about you help me arrange to meet him?"
Xiao Yao thought that perhaps Zhong Xuyang was the only man in her life, which was why Liu Yan was clinging to her and Zhong Xuyang. If she had a few more suitors to distract her, would Liu Yan gradually forget about Zhong Xuyang?
The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. After all, Zhong Xuyang had said he didn't mind her going on blind dates with other people, so she decided to go on blind dates with other people and see what it was like.
Seeing that Xiao Yao was still hesitating, Xiao Yao thought he was afraid that Liu Yan would say something to him. "Isn't it normal for you to introduce me to someone I don't like? Besides, I'll know which one is right for me if I meet a few more people. Mom won't say anything to you."
However, Xiao Yao was wondering if the other person would be interested in her. But then she thought that Xiao Yao was right; it was normal not to like someone after a blind date. "Do you really want me to introduce you to someone?"
Xiao Yao nodded seriously, "If you think that guy is good, then introduce him to me."
“He’s a perfect tall, rich, and handsome guy, with impeccable character and upbringing.” Xiao Yao looked Xiao Yao up and down. “I’m hesitant because I’m afraid you’re not good enough for him.”
Xiao Yao was displeased upon hearing this, "How can you talk about your own family like that?"
"I'm just telling the truth," Xiao Yao said, somewhat puzzled as he saw Xiao Yao still looking around the peach tree. When she first came home, she seemed unwilling to find a partner. "Why are you suddenly so proactive? Didn't you absolutely refuse to go on those blind dates that Mom asked you to go on?"
Xiao Yao leaned closer to smell the peach blossoms; they had a faint, sweet fragrance. The more she looked at the peach tree, the more she liked it. She casually remarked, "Anyway, whether you meet one or two, it's still the same. Why not meet a few more?"
Xiao Yao glanced at her with a hint of disdain, "Looking at you like this, I don't even want to introduce you to someone who will ruin their life."
Among the peach blossoms, Xiao Yao gave Xiao Yao an unpleasant look. "Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about me? Your sister is beautiful, has a great figure, and is now the owner of a garment factory. My ex-boyfriends and I both broke up amicably. How am I a troublemaker? Just tell me, are you going to introduce me to someone or not?"
Xiao Yao was speechless at her confident statement. He wondered where she got the conclusion that she had good looks and a good figure. "Alright, I'll ask someone else if they have time to reply to you."
Xiao Yao immediately brightened up, "Okay!" she said, turning to the shopkeeper and saying, "We'll take this peach blossom pot. Can you deliver it to our door?"
Xiao Yao's eyes widened in surprise, "You really bought it?!"
"Buy it, of course we'll buy it. Let's see who can find a partner first this year." As she spoke, Xiao Yao took out her phone to scan the QR code and pay for the item.
Xiao Yao didn't understand why everyone around him thought he was unpopular, even though someone had a crush on him since high school.
How do you know I'm not in a relationship?
Xiao Yao shared her experience, saying, "Someone like you who doesn't look at his phone, doesn't make calls, and doesn't go out on dates during holidays but comes to accompany us to the flower market, if he really has a girlfriend, it won't last long."
Xiao Yao's face darkened upon hearing this. "Get out of here! How can you curse your brother like that?"
Xiao Yao replied with his own words, "I'm just telling the truth."
——
Xiao Yao was telling the shopkeeper the address and time for delivering peach blossoms when she looked up at the crowded flower market ahead, wondering how to find Xiao Guowei and Liu Yan.
Just as I was about to call Sister Yan, someone suddenly called her name.
Xiao Yao didn't hear clearly at first, but she was sure when she heard it a second time.
She stared at the sound and froze.
Lin Wenwen was walking towards her, several people away. "Xiao Yao, what a coincidence."
Whether it was because she wasn't wearing makeup or something else, Lin Wenwen looked haggard, and her face was somewhat swollen and puffy.
As she walked past the passersby, Xiao Yao's first glance fell on her noticeably protruding belly. It took her a few seconds to realize that Lin Wenwen had come to her while pregnant, and her belly should indeed be this big now.
She subconsciously glanced at the man Lin Wenwen was holding, and Lin Wenwen, noticing Xiao Yao's gaze, immediately introduced him, "This is my husband, Liu Yang."
The word "husband" startled Xiao Yao again. The last time they met, she was crying and saying that the child was Zhong Xuyang's, but in the blink of an eye, she got married. It seems that she has found the father of her child.
