"Xiao Su, this is Xiao Lin."
While Su He was still in a daze, she heard the matchmaker Tian across from her enthusiastically introducing the two women.
"Hello, I am Lin Jingyan."
Just as she came to her senses, she saw the tall, handsome young man she had met a few times before extending his slender, white hand to her.
Su He subconsciously reached out and shook his hand.
"Hello, I'm Su He."
Despite the many negative speculations beforehand, Aunt Xu was quite pleased to see the two handsome men and beautiful women standing together.
As before, Aunt Xu exchanged a few words with Matchmaker Tian, went through the motions, and then left.
The two were left staring at each other in bewilderment.
Su He didn't know why, maybe because he had witnessed her awkward blind dates a few times before, she felt a little embarrassed now.
Lin Jingyan, on the other hand, seemed to be doing well. He smiled at Su He and asked, "What would you like to eat? Would dumplings be alright?"
Su He nodded. "Okay."
Then the man smiled, said "Excuse me," and got up to order food.
In no time, he brought back four large plates of dumplings.
Su He was somewhat surprised to see this. "Why did you order so much?"
Lin Jingyan smiled and said, "When I first met you, I saw that you had a good appetite, so I was worried that you wouldn't have enough to eat, so I ordered more. Don't worry, you can take it with you if you can't finish it, so it won't go to waste."
Su He: "..."
Well, they've figured out everything about him. I didn't expect him to have such a good memory.
So, in a fit of desperation, he said, "Don't worry, I have a big appetite, I can finish it all, there won't be any left. This should be just enough to fill me up."
Lin Jingyan wasn't surprised or frightened by what he heard. He simply nodded calmly, "That's fine then. You eat first, and order more if you're still hungry."
Su He glanced at him in surprise upon hearing this, and found that he looked quite serious, and actually thought so. This made her impression of him a little better.
So after thinking for a moment, he asked, "I heard that this blind date was arranged by your family through matchmaker Tian. Did you know that I was the one being arranged to go on this blind date?"
Lin Jingyan seemed surprised that she would ask this, but he nodded in acknowledgment, "I know."
Seeing the surprised expression on Su He's face, he continued, "In fact, it was I who took the initiative to go to Matchmaker Tian after I found out about you."
Su He was even more surprised. "What do you mean by that? Do you like me?"
After saying that, she shook her head in disbelief, "Impossible, right? We didn't know each other before, and we didn't get to know each other at all. At most, we met on a few blind dates, and they were all like that. How could you possibly..."
She didn't say the rest.
But Lin Jingyan had already figured it out. Seeing her ask him so directly if he liked her, he couldn't help but blush.
He cleared his throat and said, "Since that's the case, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Lin Jingyan, Jing as in scenery and Yan as in erudite scholar. I am 22 years old this year. I graduated from Peking University last year and am currently a level 13 technician at a machinery factory, with a monthly salary of 55 yuan."
Both my parents have jobs. I have an older brother and an older sister. My brother is in the military, and my sister is married and currently lives with my parents.
Furthermore, because I am a university graduate and work in a technical field, my employer offers special benefits. After I get married, I can apply to my employer for housing and move out to live on my own.
Hearing the last sentence, Su He was filled with envy. The machinery factory truly lived up to its reputation as one of the top factories in Beijing, with such excellent benefits!
Lin Jingyan's conditions made her even more satisfied. He was a college graduate with a high salary, good looks, and a good family background. After marriage, he wouldn't have to live with his parents. It was simply perfect!
