She had read in a book that some people develop a kind of social anxiety disorder when they meet someone they like, the most obvious sign of which is feeling helpless.
Of course, she didn't think she had social anxiety disorder. At most, she just had a crush on Bai Muyin. When she met him, she didn't know what to talk about with him and became a little womanly. She wasn't usually a talkative person.
After clarifying their itinerary through a question-and-answer session, the two fell into a moment of silence until they stopped at a traffic light.
Bai Muyin coughed lightly and said, "Today's events were arranged by our parents."
Yun Shudai nodded: "It seems so."
Do you understand what they mean?
"I understand a little."
"So... would you say we're on a blind date?" Bai Muyin said, looking straight ahead, before turning to meet Yun Shudai's bright, lively eyes.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and only after the car started moving did Yun Shudai speak, "I guess so."
Do you have a boyfriend?
"I just got over a relationship not long ago... What about you, do you have a girlfriend?"
"There aren't any."
"so what?"
Just as Yun Shudai said this, they encountered a traffic light.
Bai Muyin met her eyes this time and said seriously, "So... I just happen to be interested in you, the kind of thing where we could be boyfriend and girlfriend."
Yun Shudai felt a little uncomfortable being stared at directly by him. To be precise, she felt a mix of excitement and confusion.
In the real world, she had quite a few suitors at first, but she didn't dare to. She was afraid. Having seen so many people around her break up and get back together, she felt that not many relationships in this world were truly stable. If they weren't stable, why stay together?
So she kept her heart closed off all those years, but things are different now.
She longs for the kind of life her parents, sister, and brother-in-law lead—a simple, peaceful life, holding hands and supporting each other until old age. She yearns for that kind of happiness.
But she was also confused, unsure if the luck she longed for would fall into her lap.
Finding the right person is so difficult.
She wasn't sure if the one in front of her was the right one, but she was also afraid that, like in the real world, she would keep herself locked away and miss out on the one who wanted to give her a wonderful life.
He Wan is right, fate only comes once, so you have to try.
Looking at her uncertain expression, Bai Muyin said again, "I can sense that you are not averse to me."
Yun Shudai looked up at the lights shining through the night and finally spoke: "Are you serious?...I mean, I want to get married."
Bai Muyin drove steadily, smiling as he said, "Since we're going to start a relationship, it must be because we like each other. I will naturally cherish what I like even more. I can't guarantee there won't be any bumps along the way. Just like this road, there will always be red lights. If you're willing to face them with me, there's no road we can't cross together."
Although Bai Muyin did not give an answer, his words enlightened her. Yes, relationships also require effort and management. Whether someone is suitable or not, whether they are the right person, you will only know after trying and making an effort.
"I'm a rather reserved person."
"Coincidentally, I like quiet."
...
Back home, Yun Shudai sat in the living room, holding her phone, her face glowing red from the dim warm light in the room.
She's out of single life, experiencing her first romance. She's a little excited, but also a little nervous.
It seems that fate had its own arrangements; that bump at the beginning of the year directly led to her finding a boyfriend.
