Feng Guang truly hated the phrase "free rein" (meaning she could improvise). She hadn't even fully grasped the plot; she only knew the names of the male and female leads. More importantly, she didn't even know who her target was!
How can you improvise like this?
"Fengguang, are you in a bad mood today?" At the dinner table, Xia Chao saw that she was almost poking the steak in her bowl to pieces, so he had to ask.
Feng Guang paused for a moment, then could only say against his will, "No, I'm in a very good mood."
"Since you're in such a good mood, why don't you go on a blind date today?"
Before Feng Guang could react, the knife and fork in his hand fell to the ground.
Xia Chao glanced at his daughter and continued, "The other party is my friend's son. He just returned to the country. I have met this young man. He is good-looking and has a good character. More importantly, he has a good temperament and can tolerate all your bad habits."
Feng Guang chuckled twice, "I'm not going."
"You don't have to go," Xia Chao said casually. "Your mother and I have discussed it. If you don't go, your monthly allowance will be deducted."
"You!" Feng Guang gritted her teeth in anger, "Am I still your biological daughter or not?"
“It’s precisely because you are my biological daughter that I want to find a man who can take good care of you.” Xia Chao picked up another glass of red wine and said calmly and elegantly, “Of course, don’t think about getting married so quickly. It’s fine to start by talking.”
The main reason for the hidden passage was that Xia Chao and Wang Ci were afraid that Lu Zhiyuan, that rich and handsome guy, would be reserved by other girls.
Indeed, she didn't want to go on blind dates, but when she thought about the new clothes, jewelry, and lipsticks she needed to buy every month, she had no choice but to give in.
“Okay, I’ll go on the blind date.” Feng Guang agreed with a smile. It was one thing for her to be willing to go on the blind date, but whether she would actually see Lu Zhiyuan was another matter entirely.
Feng Guang is currently a senior in college. She doesn't have to attend classes anymore, so she spends all her time at home playing dress-up games on her phone to kill time. It's really not easy for her to go out.
On Saturday, the driver dropped her off at the coffee shop, but he didn't intend to leave. He had to stay at the door to prevent the young lady from sneaking away.
Ignoring the scenery, she gracefully walked into the coffee shop, stealing a glance at the customers sitting there. When she saw the man in the corner, dressed in a suit and tie, whose back she could only see, she immediately assumed that this was Lu Zhiyuan, who hadn't noticed her yet.
She went straight to the front desk and asked, "Excuse me, where is the restroom?"
"Just go in over there, turn left and you'll get there," the cashier politely pointed out.
Feng Guang thanked her and quickly headed to the restroom. At the same time, she dialed a number on the phone: "How's it going, Mu Xun? Have you arrived yet?"
"Sorry, sorry, I'm stuck in traffic. Please wait for me."
"Hurry up and come over, I'm waiting for you to take me away!" Feng Guang hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and told herself to calm down.
Mu Xun was her college roommate and one of her few friends. This coffee shop belonged to Mu Xun's family, and only Mu Xun had the key to the back door of the coffee shop. Sure enough, Feng Guang planned to leave through the back door.
Walking down the dimly lit corridor leading to the restroom, Feng Guang, who was looking down at her phone, unexpectedly bumped into someone. She managed to hold onto the wall and didn't fall, but the person she bumped into wasn't so lucky.
The man cried out "Ouch!" and fell to the ground, his brows furrowed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Feng Guang quickly bent down to help the man up.
A young man dressed as a fortune teller in a yellow coat stood up and counted on his fingers, saying, "Illness will bring unease, lawsuits will lead to court, fame and fortune will not be achieved, and things will not go as planned. Today is really not a good day for me to go out."
The man was good-looking, with a handsome face and a tall figure. Even though he was wearing a yellow coat, the kind worn by fortune tellers, he still managed to exude a unique charm.
However, no matter how good one's birth is, he's still a charlatan.
Feng Guang didn't intend to ask how a charlatan ended up here. She smiled politely and said, "Since you're alright, I'll be going now."
"Miss, please wait a moment." The fortune teller suddenly grabbed her hand, successfully stopping her in her tracks.
Feng Guang turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Hmm..." The man pinched his fingers, pondered for a moment, and said, "I see that your love star is shining brightly and you are full of joy. You must be about to meet someone you are destined to meet. However, there is a dark aura between your brows, which is like dark clouds obscuring your love star and a cold wind blowing away the spring breeze. You and this person you are destined to meet are destined but not fated to be together. You might as well leave as soon as possible to avoid the pain of heartbreak."
Feng Guang thought about it. She really was going on a blind date today. If things had gone according to the original story, she would have become Lu Zhiyuan's fiancée. It's just that Lu Zhiyuan got together with Lin Guo later. She suspected, "These words are just something you made up, right?"
The man smiled, his expression otherworldly. "Fortune telling is a matter of belief; if you believe, it exists; if you don't, it doesn't. If you don't believe, then so be it."
Feng Guang stared at him for a while, but couldn't figure it out. Anyway, she wasn't going to be with Lu Zhiyuan, so why should she care about being destined to be apart? She decided to leave.
However, the man blocked her way once again.
Feng Guang was displeased this time. "What are you trying to say now?"
"I've divined your marriage prospects, miss, what do you think..." The man coughed, cleared his throat, and said with a smile, "Would you like to settle the fortune-telling fee?"
