Lin Xiaozhe noticed the refrigerator was almost empty, so he went out to the supermarket to buy some things. Just then, his phone vibrated and he found it was his mother calling.
"Hey, what's wrong with Mom?"
"Son, I have good news. Do you know the house across the street from your second uncle's distant cousin in the next village?"
Lin Xiaozhe: "..."
"I knew you wouldn't remember. It's Fangfang from the next village. You used to play house a lot when you were little and wearing open-crotch pants."
Lin Xiaozhe had a bad feeling.
Could it be that Mother wants to set him up on a blind date?
No, please.
It wasn't that he looked down on the girls in the village, but he remembered that Fangfang hadn't continued her studies after graduating from vocational school. Their life experiences were different, there was a generation gap, and they couldn't talk to each other or have fun together.
"Mom, stop talking. It's impossible for us. Find someone else."
The mother remained silent for a moment.
"Well, actually I meant to say that I wanted you to introduce someone with good prospects to him, not to introduce someone to you. You think too highly of yourself, don't you?" the mother said with a hint of disdain.
Lin Xiaozhe: "..."
Lin Xiaozhe felt that his mother looked down on him and disliked him as her son.
"Mom, what do you mean? You think I'm not good enough for her?"
"Sigh." The mother sighed, "It's not your fault, it's your father and I who are useless. If only we could save up some money so you could buy a house in Shenhai, but I see that the house prices there are tens of thousands. Forget it, Fangfang, we can't afford to marry into that family. It'll be fine if you find someone with slightly worse conditions."
Lin Xiaozhe: "..."
"Is this how you see me, Mom?"
"Kid, you may not know, but Fangfang is really successful now. She makes over ten thousand a month. Because she's been working for a long time, she's even settled in Shenhai and is a Shenhai resident. How can you be good enough for her?"
Lin Xiaozhe was speechless.
"Remember not to have any illusions about others, and know yourself," her mother advised.
Lin Xiaozhe remained silent. Was he really that worthless in his mother's eyes? Oh well.
"Hey, Mom, why don't you ask someone else for this, Mom?"
"Beep beep beep".
"Looks like the phone was left at home and the person has already gone out."
"If there's no other way, then let's go take a look."
Just then, the system suddenly emitted an urgent notification sound.
[Red alert: Please be aware of safety.]
Suddenly, a system notification sounded. Lin Xiaozhe looked around but saw nothing. Then, he subconsciously looked up and saw a vase fall down.
Lin Xiaozhe narrowly dodged the attack thanks to his agility. The next second, the vase smashed right where he was standing. If he had been a little slower, his head would have been cracked open.
"Holy shit."
"Which bastard threw things downstairs?"
Lin Xiaozhe shouted loudly and clearly saw two unruly kids on the tenth floor peering out the window. When they saw him cursing, the two kids shrank back. It was probably the kids who smashed the vase.
Lin Xiaozhe was still in shock. He took a deep breath to calm himself down. He remembered how dangerous it had been. Luckily, there was a warning, otherwise he would be dead today.
Just as I was thinking of this, my mother gave Lin Xiaozhe Fangfang's phone number.
Somewhat regretful, Lin Xiaozhe had no choice but to bite the bullet and add the number on WeChat.
Fangfang's WeChat profile picture is of a modern woman in a business suit. She looks quite good, has a great figure, and a great temperament.
Lin Xiaozhe glanced at her WeChat Moments, which was full of inspirational quotes, beautiful selfies, and pictures of a refined lifestyle, such as the first cup of milk tea in autumn. Lin Xiaozhe felt a little uneasy.
"Xiaoze, can you be here in fifteen minutes?"
"Forehead......"
Lin Xiaozhe thought he would need to exchange pleasantries before getting to the point, but Fangfang was so straightforward that it saved him from saying any more nonsense.
"Beep beep beep."
"Danger, red alert."
"The system warned me of danger, but what danger could Fangfang be in? Is she going to eat me?"
Lin Xiaozhe couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he didn't waste any more time. He decided not to drive his luxury car, partly because he was used to keeping a low profile, and partly because he didn't want the luxury car to make them feel distant.
Inside the restaurant at this time.
Fangfang spent half an hour finding the right pose for a selfie, then another half hour editing it before posting it on her WeChat Moments.
"Another failed blind date. I can only say that there are too few high-quality men and too many outstanding women in China. Even so, I would rather be single than settle for less."
The accompanying photo is a delicate profile picture, taken close to a window, with soft sunlight streaming in, giving off a very elegant vibe.
A bunch of sycophants fawned over him.
"Fangfang is so beautiful, it's a pity I'm not good enough for her."
"I've been working so hard just for Fangfang."
"Fangfang, you haven't replied to my message for three minutes and forty seconds. I can't even eat anymore."
......
Some of my fellow girls also commented here.
“Fangfang, I’ve been looking for a partner lately too. The few blind dates I’ve been on recently have all been with greasy, slovenly men. They’re making 20,000 yuan a month and they still dare to go on blind dates? Don’t they ever look in the mirror?” said Li Xiaoxiao, a real estate agent.
"There are too many ordinary men." Fangfang said.
"Of course! You're asking me how much I earn a month? So what if I make three thousand? Three thousand for a girl is equivalent to fifty thousand for a man, really." - Li Xiaoxiao, a real estate agent.
"So today I asked a friend in the village who does live streaming to help me find something, hoping it will be effective."
"Those who watch live streams are all losers, so they're even less likely to find anything. Sister, please don't compromise. Better to have nothing than something bad." - Li Xiaoxiao, a real estate agent.
......
Lin Xiaozhe arrived at the restaurant soon and immediately spotted Fangfang by the floor-to-ceiling window not far from the entrance of the lobby. He felt that she had changed quite a bit since he hadn't seen her for many years.
