"Don't even mention it. The two people who were looking at each other almost came to blows on the spot. My mom was furious. When we got home, my third sister gave her a good scolding, saying that they had to resort to violence instead of talking things out properly."
Qian Xiao immediately became interested. "Wow, this is the first time I've ever heard of a blind date almost coming to blows!" she exclaimed. "What happened?"
Surely they can't just dislike each other and start fighting after a little argument, right?
Sun Kaicheng knew that Erdan would perk up as soon as he heard about this.
To tell this story, we have to go back to when Sun Cheng was a child.
At that time, Sun Cheng's younger brother, Sun Kaicheng, had just been injured and fell into a coma. The whole family was very sad, and even little Sun Cheng felt as if the sky was about to fall.
He was always sullen. At that time, his family lived in a compound, where most of the children were allowed to roam freely. Children couldn't be kept at home, and a group of them would play together in an open space.
Sun Cheng went to see her younger brother that day, but no matter how she called him, he wouldn't wake up. Feeling disappointed, she left the house.
As she walked, her feet habitually went to the place where they usually played. The other children were playing war games, a game that Sun Cheng usually liked to play as well. Today, she was in a bad mood, so she found a place to sit down and stared blankly into space.
Not long after, a boy came over and sat down next to Sun Cheng. Sun Cheng looked over and saw that it was Jin Yushu, a boy from the compound. They usually played together, but he hadn't seen him for a while.
Sun Cheng asked, "Little Tree, why haven't I seen you in so long?"
"I went to see my grandma a while ago and she wasn't home. Little Orange, I heard your little brother is going to die?"
Well, what was supposed to be a scene of old friends catching up was turned into a disaster by that one sentence, like a lit bomb, instantly shattering Sun Cheng's mood.
Sun Cheng stood up abruptly: "How can you talk such nonsense? My brother is perfectly fine. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up." As she spoke, she raised her fist and waved it in front of Jin Yushu's face.
Young boys always have awkward phases. Being threatened like that by a girl must have made him feel embarrassed. He stood up abruptly: "I'm not making this up. Everyone in the compound is saying that your brother is about to die."
Sun Cheng punched Jin Yushu right in the eye socket: "I'll teach you to talk nonsense. Your brother is the one who's about to die."
Jin Yushu was surprised that Sun Cheng actually dared to make a move. He covered his eyes and looked at Sun Cheng in disbelief. His fist, as if it were not under his control, also punched Sun Cheng in the eye socket.
Well, if you hadn't fought back and had spoken nicely, this matter would have been over. But you, a boy, first said that someone's younger brother was going to die, and when someone hit you, you didn't admit your mistake and even fought back.
Two close friends started punching and kicking each other. When they were discovered and separated, both children had bloody streaks on their faces and necks, and missing teeth marks on their cheeks.
The kids in the compound were naturally tough and would often start fighting at the drop of a hat, but they would be fine afterward and would be playing together again in no time.
But things didn't go as planned this time. Sun Kaicheng hadn't woken up yet, so Sun Cheng unilaterally believed that Jin Yushu had cursed him, otherwise why would her little brother just stay awake?
After that, whenever the two met, Sun Cheng would find an opportunity to beat up Jin Yushu. The first two times, Jin Yushu knew that he had said something wrong and upset Sun Cheng, so he didn't fight back much.
Even good people have their tempers. He gets angry when people find excuses to beat him up. If the two of them meet again, they will fight after a few words. It started with scratching and biting, but later they both learned military boxing and started to fight.
Of course, in the first few years the results were evenly matched, but later the difference in physical strength between boys and girls became apparent.
"According to my sister, three years later, my sister lost her last fight with Jin Yushu. After that, my third sister also moved in, and the two of them almost never saw each other again. Later, Jin Yushu joined the army, and the two of them couldn't even see each other during the Spring Festival. That's how the matter ended."
"No one expected that the person they were set up with this time would be Jin Yushu. Well, the two of them were like sparks flying the moment they met. They started arguing after only a few words and almost came to blows. It was only because their parents separated them and took them away that a fight was averted."
Is it really necessary? It's been so many years and it's still not over?
"No, you're perfectly fine now. It's really not worth holding a grudge for the rest of your lives over something like this, is it?"
“I think the same way as you. It’s not a big deal. Kids often say things without thinking. It’s over and done with. But my sister is taking it too seriously.”
"Later, I heard my sister recount their conversation, and I didn't know where to begin!" I've never seen someone so grown up be so childish.
"Quickly, learn from me what they said!"
Sun Kaicheng found Qian Xiao's gossipy expression amusing, but it also satisfied Qian Xiao's gossipy nature.
The two families had a good relationship when they were young. Although the two children always fought when they were little, there is a saying that goes, "Spare the rod and spoil the child."
Besides, those were things from when they were kids. Now they're adults, how can things be the same as when they were little? They know each other inside and out. If the two kids could get together, it would be a really good match.
After discussing it, the two families decided that it was a good idea to meet each other without telling either of them about their situation.
We've all grown up together, so who knows, we might just fall for each other at first sight when we grow up. Besides, even if we don't hit it off, it'll just be like two families having a meal together, so it won't be too awkward.
And so, the parents of both families secretly arranged this blind date dinner, saying only that there was a nice girl they wanted to meet, without ever revealing who it was.
The two hadn't seen each other for several years and were stunned for a moment before recognizing each other.
Having not seen each other for four or five years, Sun Cheng hadn't changed much, except that she had grown up a lot. Seeing Sun Kaicheng's appearance, one could tell that Sun Cheng wasn't ugly either. Although she wasn't as good-looking as Sun Kaicheng, she was still a great beauty.
Jin Yushu, who was a skinny boy who looked like a monkey when he was young, has now grown into a handsome man. Because of his time in the army, he has a strong, tough, and manly air about him.
The first thing Sun Cheng said after recognizing the person and sitting down was, "My little brother has been awake for five years now and is in college. He's amazing."
As for Jin Yushu, what's wrong with just a compliment? No, he's still as cheeky as he was when he was a kid, and he'll blurt out, "Oh, you're still alive and well, no lasting effects, right?"
