The next day, Bai Mei got up early to wash up and put on makeup, then came out of her room and yelled at the nanny to hurry up and make breakfast.
The nanny and the mother were both stunned, especially the mother, who was quite surprised.
My daughter, who usually loves to stay in bed and I can't get her out of bed no matter how many times I try, actually got up early today on her own initiative to have breakfast.
And it's during summer vacation?
Did the sun rise in the west?
Bai's mother felt uneasy. Looking at her daughter's expectant and excited expression, she couldn't help but wonder if her dear daughter was going out on a date.
But she hadn't heard Bai Mei mention dating any young men lately, which made her even more puzzled.
After finishing her breakfast, Bai Mei went to the dressing room and rummaged through the drawers, seemingly looking for the most suitable outfit for the day.
Bai's mother pushed open Bai Mei's bedroom door and saw her daughter standing in front of the mirror, picking out clothes. She asked, "Honey, why are you up so early today? Is something good happening?"
Upon hearing her mother's voice, Bai Mei gave a mysterious smile. Instead of answering her mother's question directly, she said, "Mom, I'm going out to meet a friend today. I might not be back for lunch, so you don't need to wait for me."
Upon hearing this, Bai's mother immediately guessed what was going on. Judging from her daughter's expression, she was clearly going to see her boyfriend!
She stepped forward and gently patted Bai Mei's face, saying meaningfully, "Sweetie, Mommy can tell, you're going to meet a boy today, aren't you?"
When Bai Mei heard her mother guess what she was thinking, she blushed immediately. After stammering for a while, she finally said vaguely, "Mom, how can you guess everything!"
Knowing her daughter was ashamed to admit it, Bai's mother smiled and said jokingly, "I've been through this myself. Seeing you getting up early and picking out clothes to dress up, anyone who isn't blind can tell you're getting ready to meet a boy."
"As expected, nothing can be hidden from Mom..." Bai Mei smiled shyly, which was tantamount to an indirect admission.
“Honey, you’re all grown up now. Mom doesn’t object to this kind of thing, but in today’s society, there are all kinds of people. If you really want to date someone, you must keep your eyes open and see their character clearly, okay?”
"I know, Mom. Your daughter is very shrewd. Besides, he and I are just ordinary friends. We're not even officially dating yet. And besides, Grandpa knows him too. He even bought a lot of orchids from him!" Bai Mei explained.
"Huh? The old man knows him too?" Mrs. Bai was taken aback; this was something she hadn't expected.
“Yes, Grandpa said that the person who can grow orchids of such quality must be very delicate and gentle, otherwise they could not grow such high-quality orchids!” Bai Mei said, her eyes seemingly sparkling again.
The mother looked at her daughter speechlessly. Her daughter seemed to be a bit love-struck. What should she do?
She knew that her precious daughter was good in every way, except that she was just like her, a "looks-obsessed" person. She couldn't control herself if the other person was even a little handsome.
Bai Mei looks exactly the same as when I first met the father of my child! That infatuated smile that's hard to look at!
I was just lucky; my husband is also successful.
Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that their era was not as materialistic.
When two people fall in love, they hardly have any worries.
But things are different now.
Especially for someone from a family like hers, there are plenty of people who want to get close to her daughter and build a relationship with her.
I have to take precautions to prevent my daughter from getting hurt. The more I think about it, the more worried I become!
Bai's mother stepped forward and asked softly, "Sweetie, do you want Mommy to take you there?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Mei smiled sweetly and said, "Mom, don't worry. I just invited him to dinner to chat and catch up on university life. Nothing will happen."
Hearing her daughter's words, Bai's mother's doubts lessened slightly, but she still couldn't help but remind her, "Alright then, be careful when you go out, and also, girls should be more reserved. Don't just throw yourself at guys because they're handsome, understand?"
Bai Mei's face flushed even more upon hearing this. Her mother couldn't hide anything from her after all. She could only put on a sweet smile and say, "Okay, Mom, I'll be careful. Thank you for your support!"
Bai's mother looked at her daughter with satisfaction. Although her daughter had not officially revealed her boyfriend's identity to her, judging from her daughter's behavior, this young man should not be an ordinary person.
The mother thought that if the young man's family background and conditions were good, she would gladly agree to her daughter dating him.
Bai's mother still nagged a few more points about precautions.
Bai Mei readily agreed and finally chose a pink floral dress, paired with a pair of high heels, looking sweet and lovely.
As Bai's mother watched her daughter leave, she still felt somewhat uncertain.
She decided to wait until her daughter came back and then ask her properly who was so important that her daughter was so excited.
...
Bai Mei's home is in the Liquor District, and Lizhi Square is not far away.
Moreover, the pedestrian streets at Lizhi Square are always packed with people during holidays.
Forget about taking a car, even walking is impossible due to the traffic jam!
So after leaving her house, she chose to walk there.
Since it was still early in the morning, there weren't many people on the pedestrian street yet.
Bai Mei arrived at the Silver Gate Restaurant without any trouble and immediately spotted Chang Jing sitting not far from the entrance.
I didn't expect him to arrive even earlier than me!
Hmm! A punctual man gets extra points!
At this moment, Chang Jing was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, leaning back in his chair, flipping through the menu, displaying a natural posture typical of restaurant patrons.
Bai Mei couldn't help but swallow, suppressing her excitement, and walked forward gracefully: "Good morning, Chang Jing, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Chang Jing looked up and saw Bai Mei. He smiled slightly and said, "Good morning, Bai Mei. Actually, I just arrived. I just finished looking at the menu. You've come at the perfect time."
Bai Mei was overjoyed by Chang Jing's smile. After she sat down, the two ordered food. Bai Mei was a little nervous and felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. She tried to find topics to chat about in order to make herself seem more natural.
Chang Jing noticed Bai Mei's stiffness. He remembered that Bai Mei had called to say she had good news to tell him, so he asked, "By the way, you called to say you had good news to tell me. What is it?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Mei immediately perked up.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say what she wanted to say, but then she remembered her mother's "instructions" before she left home!
So, feigning composure, she slowly said, "Chang Jing, guess?"
Chang Jing was taken aback. He looked up at Bai Mei's pretentious expression and couldn't help but find it a little funny.
I'm not a mind reader; why should I expect others to guess what she's thinking without giving her any hints?
This student's thought process seems a little off...
