When Su Yu arrived at the Imperial Garden, Li Xi's dishes were almost ready, and Luo Jingxuan and Jing Limo's conversation shifted from Li Xi to business matters such as shopping malls, companies, projects, etc.
So, when Li Xi received Su Yu's call and was about to go out to greet her, she saw Luo Jingxuan and Jing Limo sitting on two sofas, one with his usual expressionless face, the other with a decent but distant smile. There was a taut string between them, as if a fuse of gunpowder was sizzling and smoking.
It's completely different from the happy atmosphere when Li Xi was still around.
Li Xi: "..." Didn't they ask Luo Jingxuan to tell Jing Limo about Su Yu? Why is the atmosphere so strange? Could it be that Uncle Mo doesn't want a blind date? Or is he unwilling to accept his niece's friend as a girlfriend?
Did my first time as a matchmaker end in failure? Li Xi shook her head, waving away the negative thoughts in her mind.
Who cares! Even if the deal doesn't work out, there's still friendship (crossed out). Even if they can't be lovers, they can still be friends. Su Yu will eventually be involved in their circle, and getting to know more business tycoons and up-and-coming entrepreneurs is always a good thing. Although she really wants to pair Jing Limo with Su Yu, it will not only solve her uncle's single problem, but also pull Su Yu out of the emotional vortex between Shen Zhou, Lu Zifeng, and Lu Wantang.
From Li Xi's recent observations, the three main characters still have a strong aura. Many supporting characters have left the plot and started to go their own way, but those three people are still tossing around "I love you, you don't love me, you love him" all day long, without getting annoyed.
This wasn't Su Yu's first time at the Imperial Garden, so she was well-versed in the entrance. It was just that she'd usually come to see Li Xi before, so she'd just walk in without even saying hello. Today, she was thinking about the presence of someone she didn't know well, Luo Jingxuan, in the room, and a "blind date" waiting to go on a blind date with her.
It was a bit embarrassing to go in directly, so before entering, Su Yu called Li Xi and asked her to go out and pick him up. It was a bit hypocritical, but after all, it was the first blind date, so it was okay to be a little pretentious.
Furthermore, despite her seemingly nonchalant appearance, Su Yu was actually incredibly nervous, her heartbeat incredibly fast. After greeting Uncle Wu in the courtyard, Su Yu stood outside the door, waiting for Li Xi to pick her up.
It didn't take long for Li Xi to walk from the kitchen to the front door, but it felt like a century had passed to Su Yu. While waiting, she kept having the illusion that her heartbeat was ringing in her ears, "boom, boom, boom", which was very annoying.
Finally, just when she felt her heartbeat was nearly deafening, Li Xi appeared. Looking at that familiar, beautiful face, Su Yu felt as if she had found her backbone. She lunged forward and embraced Li Xi fiercely, causing her to stumble back two or three steps before finally regaining her balance.
"What's wrong? Have you missed me since we last met?" Li Xi hugged Su Yu back, patted her back, and said jokingly.
"Yeah, I miss you. I miss you so much that my heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys ache." Su Yu whined, hugging Li Xi and acting coquettishly. It seemed the same as before, but only she knew that the moment she hugged Li Xi, the heartbeat that had pierced her eardrums suddenly disappeared, becoming almost inaudible, and her heart rate returned to normal.
How could I possibly be this nervous? Am I hallucinating? Su Yu muttered to herself as she continued to act coquettishly while hugging Li Xi. She hummed and moaned, just like she always did. And yes, regardless of nervousness or urgency, Su Yu couldn't afford to "suck" this beauty!
Holding a beautiful woman is a pleasure, and holding a beautiful woman all the time is a pleasure. But on this occasion, Su Yu obviously couldn't hold Li Xi for a long time. Guessing that the person waiting for the blind date must be getting hungry, Su Yu only held Li Xi for a while, then let go and smiled.
"Come in, I'm hungry."
"I'm afraid you can't wait to meet my uncle, right?" Li Xi quipped, folding her arms and looking at Su Yu. As someone who'd been on a blind date before, Li Xi knew from one look that Su Yu looked just like her usual self, but she was actually incredibly nervous. She was blinking much faster than usual, glancing left and right from time to time.
Moreover, if you listen carefully, you can hear a slight tremor in her voice. This reminds Li Xi of her first blind date before she traveled through time. How should I put it, it was both impressive and not very impressive.
The deep feeling was that it was her first blind date, and it wasn't a very pleasant one. The shallow feeling was that Li Xi had no memory of the man's name, appearance, or characteristics.
As an older, single woman, Li Xi was often pressured by her parents to get married. However, she didn't want to date, didn't like going out, and felt she'd rather spend her time reading novels and writing soft articles than chatting and dating. So, despite her parents' earnest urging, she lived a contented life.
There were introductions before, but Li Xi rejected them all. She was too lazy to make up a reason and just said, "Forget it, no, I don't want to." Although the parents were anxious, they were helpless and could only nag her more, hoping that she would change her mind.
But Li Xi’s heart was as hard as iron, and she just didn’t want to do it.
For Yu Lixi, that blind date was a surprise, one she couldn't refuse. It was during the Lunar New Year holiday, and she had been planning to have a family reunion dinner with a relative. After a satisfying meal, she was cuddling on the sofa playing on her phone when a cousin she usually got along well with called her into the kitchen for a private chat.
Li Xi didn't think much about it and went over. Then she saw Cousin No. 1, Cousin No. 2, Cousin No. 3, and Cousin No. 1 and Cousin No. 2 in the kitchen. When she entered, Wu Shuang's eyes were fixed on her, and she was stunned. She thought there was something big to be announced!
