Seeing the five people enter, everyone stood up. My cousin's aunt greeted them warmly, "Happy New Year, dear relatives! My cousins and uncles are here. Come sit over here." The woman, who looked like the man's mother and was well-maintained, smiled and said, "Happy New Year." The two women handed their gifts to my cousin, who accepted them, saying, "You're so polite to come and bring gifts! That's so kind!" The five of them sat down in the living room. My cousin's living room was so large that even with ten people seated, it felt spacious enough. My cousin wanted to pour the tea herself, so she grabbed the teapot from my cousin's wife and poured tea for her mother, two younger sisters, and younger brother.
My cousin's aunt spoke directly. "We're both relatives, so we're destined to meet. I've already explained our respective situations over the phone. Now let's meet them. Come on, this is Gu Zhengnian, 28 years old, and this is Su Tiantian, 26. You young people, please get to know each other. I heard you both attended university in Kuozhou City. What a fate!"
Gu Zhengnian was dressed in a suit and tie, had a handsome face, was estimated to be 175 cm tall, and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He took a sip of tea nonchalantly, and his words seemed to carry a sting: "I didn't want to go on a blind date, but they forced me to come." His mother, sister, and even cousin felt embarrassed when they heard this, which was really disrespectful to them.
Su Zhihao's words were a bit aggressive: "My sister didn't want to go on a blind date either. She was forced to come here by my cousin and me." Ma Yiqiang nodded vigorously beside him: "Yes, yes, my cousin didn't want to come, so my cousin and I had to accompany her."
Gu Zhengnian's face turned a little ugly after hearing this, and his cousin's wife quickly said, "Young people nowadays don't like blind dates. Let's get to know each other and make friends. You all graduated from Kuozhou University of Electronic Science and Technology, so you are seniors and juniors."
Su Tiantian said calmly: "Hello, senior, I graduated in 2019, majoring in financial management."
Gu Zhengnian said calmly, "I'm from the class of 2017, majoring in CNC technology." Sunlight slanted into the living room, catching a teardrop mole at the corner of Gu Zhengnian's eye, and some of the light flickered through the lenses of his glasses. Perhaps feeling uncomfortable, he closed his eyes, and as if making a decision, he said with difficulty, "I don't want to be in a relationship yet. I don't think we're suitable."
As soon as he finished speaking, his mother got angry: "What do you mean you don't want to be in a relationship for the time being? Do you think you are still young? You will be 29 years old in the new year. What do you mean it is not suitable? Just meeting once and not getting along with each other is not suitable?"
His cousin's wife, his eldest sister, advised, "Mom, don't worry. Your brother is a grown man, he has his own ideas."
Gu Zhengnian's other sister said, "Zhengnian, you promised to go on a good blind date."
Gu Zhengnian turned to look at Su Tiantian and said, "Schoolmate, I'm looking for a girlfriend who has good looks, a good personality, a good figure, a good family background, and a good job. How many of these do you think you meet?"
Su Tiantian thought it was hilarious. These were really high requirements, so she said, "I don't have such high requirements for a boyfriend, but I do want someone with a good temper, modesty, sincerity and practicality."
Gu Zhengnian crossed his arms and said coldly, "Let me make my requirements clear first. If you think it's acceptable, then we can try to get along. I hope that after we get married, we can be financially independent and share our daily expenses. We should share the down payment, mortgage, car loan, and living expenses. We must have a son. My parents are in poor health, so I have to raise the child myself."
When Gu Zhengnian's mother heard this, she became anxious: "What mortgage and car loan? My family has a house and a car, so we don't have to pay for the mortgage and car loan. What's more, I am willing to take care of my grandchildren. You unfilial son, is this how you scare away girls on blind dates?"
Su Tiantian said calmly, "We'll split the down payment, mortgage, car loan, and living expenses. No problem. We can have a son, as long as he takes my last name."
When Gu Zhengnian's mother heard this, she didn't know what to say.
Gu Zhengnian's eldest sister quickly said, "Tiantian, my brother was just joking with you. My family is well-off. We have a house and a car."
Sang Yimei was unhappy: "My Tiantian is no joke. It's not like we can't buy a car and a house. Tiantian's salary is not low. I will give her the share of the money from the land sale."
Gu Zhengnian seemed to be interested in Su Tiantian, and his cold eyes fell on Su Tiantian: "Junior sister, it's not convenient to chat with so many people around. Why don't we go to the bar in town tonight?" As soon as he finished speaking, his eldest sister patted his shoulder with a little dissatisfaction.
Su Tiantian directly refused: "I don't like going to bars."
It seemed that both sides had no intention of continuing the conversation. Several people from the Gu family left their aunt's house, and several people from the Su family also left their aunt's house.
After returning home, Su Jinyuan asked about the blind date. Sang Yimei described the process and added, "The man was good, but he was very arrogant and looked down on others." Su Zhihao said, "This twelfth blind date is not suitable for my sister."
Ma Yiqiang said: "Luckily Zhihao reacted quickly. The man actually said that he was forced to come on a blind date, as if his cousin was chasing him. It was too much."
Su Tiantian said, "I don't think this senior is easy to get along with. I don't want to go to the bar with him."
After the conversation, Ma Yiqiang was leaving for home, Su Jinyuan was going out to a party, and the three of them were eating at home. Su Tiantian felt quite happy at this moment. After returning home, she didn't have to cook or clean up. She didn't know yet that her thirteenth blind date was about to appear.
