Chapter 2 2 Draw to recruit a consort, those with high skills and courage will be given priority...
Fu Yu had originally thought she was crying, and had been preparing himself for a long time, wavering between "It's none of your business" and "Everyone who sees tears should have a share." But when he heard her pulling out a tissue, his hesitation suddenly ended. He hadn't expected his impulsive behavior to lead to such a misunderstanding. Her clear eyes and clean corners didn't look like she'd been crying, so he had been wrong from the start.
What should I do? There's nothing I can do. The words have already been spoken.
"Ah?" Tang Ke had a look of great wisdom and foolishness on his face, and he covered his nose with his hands, not knowing whether to put them up or down.
"Don't you want chocolate flavor? You screamed so loudly just now."
Tang Ke pinched the tip of his nose hard, threw the tissue into the trash can, and took a deep breath. "Hiss, was that loud?"
"So you want to eat it? They gave it to me, but I don't eat this." Fu Yu handed the plate forward.
"So good?" Tang Ke raised the corner of his mouth subtly and took it with both hands. "Thank you, you are such a good person."
"You're welcome."
The two of them were back to back, one checking their phone, the other watching the game. Fu Yu didn't score a single goal, while Tang Ke and her bestie's chat box was already buzzing with chatter.
Tank: "Guess what I just saw?"
Studying Death: "Gay."
Her best friend went on to get a master's degree after completing her undergraduate degree, and then went on to get a doctorate. She said that people who study too much will have problems.
Tank: "You are sick, aren't you?"
Studying Death: "What did you see?"
Tank: "The face of a programmer"
Research Death: "Really? You two are finally on a blind date?"
Research Death: "I told you two that you were destined to meet face to face one day."
Tank: "Sorry, no, I met an old man today, I'll tell you later."
Tank: "The programmer brother talked to me today and gave me a plate of double skin milk/insidious"
Studying Death: "What does it look like?"
Tank: “Not ugly”
Research on Death: "That's a thin dog"
Tank: "Hahahahahahahahahahahaha I don't know, I didn't look there."
Tank: "I complained to my mom on the phone about my blind date, and he heard me."
Research Death: "Can you take a picture so I can see what he looks like?"
Tank: "It's very ordinary, nothing special"
Studying Death: "Show Me How Ordinary It Is"
Tank: "Well, nothing memorable. The eyes are eyes, the nose is a nose, and the bangs cover the eyebrows. Oh, the skin is pretty good."
Studying Death: "Does it stink?"
Tank: "Am I a hooligan for leaning over and sniffing?"
Research death: "My lab stinks now, it's full of boys' sweat, I'm dying"
Tank: "He doesn't stink"
Studying Death: "You really went to smell it/Fist up"
Tang Ke chatted enthusiastically, struggling to hold back her laughter. To give her friend a more concrete image of the programmer, she even resorted to the same tactics she'd used to posting so much on fanfiction forums before landing a job. The conclusion she reached was so bizarre even she herself thought it was: a sultry, workplace omega whose pheromones smelled like instant coffee.
Not only did he eat someone's double skin milk, but he also teased her behind her back. After thinking about it, Tang Ke worried about her own quality. However, only those who enjoy sexual fantasies know how to enjoy it. She looked at Fu Yu's back with a lot of interest in her eyes.
She reached out and tapped his back. Fu Yu turned his head, leaned back, and lowered his ear, waiting for her to speak.
"Uh..." He turned so naturally that Tang Ke took a second to react. "Will you come next week?"
Fu Yu thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know."
"Don't you come here every Saturday? I've seen you several times." Because they were so close, Tang Ke's voice unconsciously became lower, and to outsiders it sounded like a pair of friends whispering.
Fu Yu was a little puzzled by her half-smile, her round eyes, her pupils gleaming with light. He looked up at the light. Yes, there was a light right above her seat.
"What's wrong? Whether I come or not... do you want to check again?" He said slowly, tilting his head to look at her, verifying the reflection of light in her eyes, "You've come many times too."
"No, hahaha!" Tang Ke was amused by his words, "Thank you for the double skin milk. I thought if you come again next week, I will treat you to dinner."
Fu Yu looked troubled. "Isn't that a bit... too bold?"
"It's okay. I am the kind of person who repays even a drop of kindness with a spring." Tang Ke thought he was being polite and waved his hand to show his generosity.
"But... aren't we here for a blind date? You have yours, I have mine, and you treat me to a meal, so..." Fu Yu stopped talking halfway.
"Oh! That's right..." Tang Ke's body trembled, realizing the weirdness of the matter. Just because she didn't take it to heart doesn't mean it's not important. If she really did that, it would be ethically unclear.
Just as her brain was working frantically to find a remedy, Fu Yu made an even more bizarre suggestion.
"Unless, your blind date is me, that would be more legitimate."
Oh my god, he said this without blushing or beating his heart. Tang Ke was stunned. It seemed that he didn't take this matter to heart.
"That's true, but my blind dates are all chosen by my mom, so I can't say for sure."
Fu Yu dropped another bombshell, "My mom is also in the 'Sanxi Bridge Marriage Mutual Aid Group' that your mom is in."
"What?!" Tang Ke was stunned. "Your mom is also in that group of over a hundred people?"
She also reflected on whether she was really loud when she was talking on the phone, so how could he hear everything?
Fu Yu paused, "Your mother should have joined Group 2, and my mother is in Group 1, which has more than 300 people."
"Oh my god..." With this kind of cohesion, it will be easy to conquer Pinduoduo, Tang Ke thought.
"Then add WeChat first? Since it will be your turn sooner or later, I'll go back and tell my mom to let you cut in line first." She smoothly cut out the QR code.
"Oh." Fu Yu took out his phone and scanned it, his brows lightened. "I went through the back door."
"Huh?" Tang Ke didn't hear clearly, his attention focused on his WeChat. His profile picture was a cat wearing black-framed glasses, with an OK emoji in the lower left corner, suggesting he often received "OK" messages.
Although it was their first conversation, they were as familiar as if they had blown up a manure pit together when they were children. There was no embarrassment or restraint at all, and they were just excited about the clever ideas.
After returning home, Tang Ke used her mother's phone to check the group chats. Sure enough, Group 1 had its own unshakable prince status, and Group 2 had its own shortcomings. If a fisherman accidentally got into Group 2, he could catch a whole bucket of pond fish in one night. The screen was filled with flowers in full bloom.
She privately messaged the group owner, requesting to join a group, and was surprised to discover they actually charged a fee! Fifteen yuan a month wasn't much, but it was supposed to be a mutual aid group, so why was there a fee? If she never succeeded in finding a partner, wouldn't she have to keep paying? She wanted to try for another year or two, how much money would that cost?
It was simply unreasonable. Tang Ke immediately asked Fu Yu on WeChat if he knew about this rule.
Null: "I know. They say they pay to screen out those who lurk."
Tank: "You guys have no objections? I even have to manually cancel my monthly video subscription renewal. Isn't it a waste of money to spend money on something like this?"
Null: "Basically, there's no solution. They have their own ideas, and at least it's more cost-effective than buying health supplements."
Tank: "Anyway, I feel like this money was wasted. I really want my mom to quit the group/break up."
Tang Ke was worried. If her mother spent money on this today, she might spend it on health supplements tomorrow. She rushed into the kitchen, phone in hand, and bluntly told Dong Ci to quit the group.
"Why should I quit? Where can I find a partner for you if you quit?" Dong Ci picked up the spatula in one hand and turned on the range hood with the other.
The kitchen was suddenly filled with a rumbling noise like an engine, and Tang Ke had no choice but to raise his voice: "Do we have to look for it in Sanxi Bridge? What kind of fun can we have in such a small place?"
She approached, hands on her hips, "If you don't want me to marry far away, you can find a son-in-law. Go to the roadside and post a small advertisement, looking for a husband. Those with good skills and courage will be given priority."
Dong Ci snorted in amusement and shook the spoon vigorously, "What kind of hot cake are you? You even want to be the prince consort? I'm not destined to be the queen, and your father is just a dog servant at best."
Tang Ke sighed: "The mountains and rivers are broken, the wind blows the catkins away; my life is up and down, like duckweed in the rain."
Dong Ci elbowed the female Wen Tianxiang away and said, "Go away, stop causing trouble for me."
Being a jerk brings joy. Tang Ke turned to the other side with a playful smile and started washing the vegetables. "You don't have to find me one next week. I found one myself. She's also in the group."
"What?" Dong Ci turned off the range hood and asked Tang Ke to repeat himself. She looked skeptical. "Is it true? Who? What's their name? Do you have any information?"
Tang Ke shrugged and told her about his encounter with his group friends today. They were all in the same boat, so regardless of their backgrounds, it wouldn't be a pity to have a meal together to show their appreciation.
"Do you think you have a lot of time? Who said blind dates are just about having a meal?" Dong Ci grabbed the vegetables she had washed and threw them into the pot. In a split second, he was busy again. "I tell you, I always look at their profiles first, then talk to their parents. After the conversation is over, you go to have dinner with them as the last step. You have no idea how much effort I put into the work behind the scenes. And I say 'it's just a meal' - that's easy to say."
"Eh," Tang Ke shuddered, goosebumps covering his skin, "No wonder you can become the Dean of Studies."
She wiped her hands clean and sat at the dining table to message Fu Yu in real time.
Tank: "My mom wants to see your information and chat with your mom."
He replied immediately.
Null: "Look, look, everyone in our line of work has to go through this."
Tank: "Brother, you look haggard."
Null: "Born to the fucking yang"
"Hahahaha." Tang Ke laughed while looking at his phone. Dong Ci naggled beside him, "Stop browsing your phone. You're so silly and happy all day long that you don't know what to be happy about."
"Girls who love to laugh never have bad luck, mom." Tang Ke replied to his mother with his mouth, while searching for the right emoticon to reply to Fu Yu with his fingertips.
Her emoticon library is divided into three categories. The first category is so abstract that it makes people dizzy, and is used in various situations where the conversation is incomprehensible and the purpose is to stimulate the other person's retina. The second category is cute stuffed animals such as cats, dogs, mice, and sheep, and is used to maintain a hypocritical image of being reserved and polite in public. The third category cannot be said and is only sent to people who are not interested in research.
I wanted to post a picture of a cat, dog, rat or sheep, but I clicked too quickly and clicked on the emoticon package below by mistake.
"Shit!" Tang Ke retreated quickly.
Wasn't it seen?
A buttoned penguin stood in the center, with a line of words clearly written below:
"I'll take you right away."
