Chapter 2 Blind Date

Li Fuzheng, why is he here?

Meng Liyue thought it was just a coincidence and immediately lowered her head to check WeChat.

Regarding this blind date, Meng's mother didn't give her many details. She only told her the time and place, without even a photo. She didn't take it seriously in the first place, and she wouldn't take the initiative to ask.

The original plan was just to meet, sit for a few minutes, and chat casually.

But looking around... Meng Liyue raised her head. At this moment, apart from the waiters, the only person in the entire cafe was the man wearing a black shirt, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

As if he noticed her gaze, he looked over casually, his cold brows exuding a domineering aura.

He looks cold and arrogant, and not easy to mess with.

"Hello?" Li Fuzheng's slender fingertips holding the cup moved slightly, as if he remembered her name after thinking about it, "Meng Liyue?"

“…It’s me.”

She answered softly, trying to ignore her rapidly beating heart, and walked towards him.

Li Fuzheng was looking at her.

During his three years of high school, perhaps he had never paid as much attention to her as he did now.

"What would you like to drink?" When she approached, he turned slightly to the side, put his arm on the bar, and asked casually.

Li Fuzheng is always like this, possessing excellent control. Wherever he appears, he can easily become the most dazzling and eye-catching presence.

"A cup of iced American coffee, thank you." Meng Liyue said to the clerk, she didn't dare to look at him.

Although Meng Liyue is no longer the same as she was in high school, she would blush, lower her head and run away quickly if she accidentally made eye contact with him.

But I will still be affected by those throbbing movements.

She quietly grabbed the hem of her oversized T-shirt and instantly regretted being so unkempt.

There happened to be a glass next to her that reflected her current state. Her long hair was casually tied behind her head with a clip, and the shapeless short-sleeved shirt almost completely covered her figure, paired with a pair of beige wide-leg pants.

Apart from her blindingly cold white skin and thin arms, there seemed to be nothing good about her.

If I had known earlier... Meng Liyue was a little disappointed. She regretted not asking clearly about the identity of her blind date.

"You must have been urged by your family to come here." Seeing her nervousness, Li Fu Zheng's eyes fell on the girl's exceptionally thick and long eyelashes, which were trembling slightly.

He has amazing observation skills, which is an occupational ailment for pilots. When flying, he stares at the numerous instruments and equipment in the cockpit and cannot miss any detail.

"You too..." Her voice was naturally gentle and a little helpless. "My mother thinks that it is a heinous crime for me not to be married at the age of 28."

"Twenty-eight?" Li Fuzheng raised his eyebrows when he heard Meng Liyue's age. "I thought you just graduated."

She looks very young, with round, well-behaved almond-shaped eyes and a quiet look, like a college student just starting out.

Meng Liyue was stunned.

Li Fuzheng didn't recognize her.

Yes, when she was in high school, she wore glasses, had short hair with bangs, didn't like to make noise, and her presence in the class was always low.

I didn't get to speak to him for three whole years.

It's normal that he doesn't remember her.

"Actually, I..."

"Ma'am, your iced Americano is ready."

What I was about to say was interrupted, and the little courage I had just generated was completely gone.

Meng Liyue pursed her lips and suddenly gave up on herself. After all these years, she was still a complete failure.

"The elders all have similar ideas. Just deal with it."

"……Um."

If it were a normal blind date, they would talk about each other's work, their requirements in a partner, and their expectations for future marriage, but this was obviously not the case today.

Li Fuzheng raised his wrist to check the time. He had an appointment with his coach to play tennis, so it was almost time.

His gaze returned to the woman in front of him. He could see that she was being perfunctory. Appearing in this state meant that she didn't take this blind date seriously.

In this case, we can end it early.

But... he finally determined where this slightly familiar voice came from, and the corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly. It was quite a coincidence.

Li Fuzheng stood up straight. His 185cm height gave him a strong sense of pressure. He asked, "I have other plans later. Where do you live? Do you need me to take you there?"

Meng Liyue knew very well that this was just a polite remark. If she was brave enough, she might seize the opportunity and ask Li Fuzheng to send her home no matter what he thought, so that they could spend time together.

But she couldn't do it. To her, Li Fuzheng was a star that she could only look up to. She secretly admired him and tossed and turned in her sleep countless nights. She dreamed of him, but she never dared to tell this feeling to others.

"I live near the airport, it's quite far, don't bother."

Meng Liyue raised her lips and revealed a very beautiful smile, her eyes slightly curved, and her originally beautiful and non-aggressive facial features suddenly became brighter and more lively.

Li Fuzheng looked at her for a second before nodding: "Okay."

It was time for him to go. He had gone on several blind dates in the past, and each time he agreed to go only after his mother had persuaded him.

It usually ended within ten minutes, and even if the other party showed great interest, he would find a way to reject him.

Li Fuzheng was 29 years old and did not think he needed to be bound by marriage too early. Moreover, there was no woman who could make him willing to agree.

Today is a little different.

He took out his phone and said, "Let's add WeChat, so that I can report back to the team."

This was indeed a reason, even though he had many ways to make his mother not bother about it.

Maybe, I'm too lazy to bother?

With WeChat, his mother can spend some time in peace without rushing him.

"Oh, okay..." Meng Liyue was a little flustered. After she called up the QR code, her heartbeat quickened again.

Sometimes six or seven crews would make requests on the VHF channel at the same time, and she had to respond clearly in the shortest possible time, but her mind would not be as confused as it is now, losing her normal rhythm.

"Yes."

Meng Liyue looked at the new friends on WeChat. She had Li Fuzheng's QQ, but he had not used it long ago. The high school class monitor even created a WeChat group, and Li Fuzheng was in it.

She was actually there too, but it was a group of just a few dozen people. He definitely wouldn't be idle enough to look at each person's name and profile picture one by one, so he wouldn't have known that they had already been in the same group for a long time.

But she never found a reason to add him as a friend.

I didn't expect it to be this way.

"Be careful on your way home and let me know when you get home."

Li Fuzheng nodded casually and said goodbye to Meng Liyue at the door of the cafe.

The man's car was parked on the side of the road, a black Land Rover, which perfectly matched his temperament.

I guess that's it.

Meng Liyue opened WeChat and saw that Li Fuzheng’s profile picture was taken when he was studying flying abroad. He went abroad after graduating from high school and went through a foreign pilot training mechanism. He became a captain at the age of 25.

I was staring at his high-spirited appearance in a daze when a new message popped up in the high school WeChat group that hadn't been active for a long time: "I don't know how many of you are in Hecheng. I haven't seen you for a long time. Let's get together tomorrow?"
