Yu Xiangyang rode his bicycle straight to the place where the figure had just appeared. It was the entrance of an alley. He looked inside but did not see the figure.
He rode further into the alley without giving up, observing the surroundings as he rode, but the alley was connected to other alleys in all directions.
It was inconvenient for him to bring the child with him, and besides, it was impossible for him to search every alley.
He searched for a while but found nothing, so he returned to the door of the bookstore.
Wen Qiuning was greeting guests inside and didn't notice that Yu Xiangyang had come again.
Yu Xiangyang didn't bother him. He got out of the car, walked around the bookstore, and studied the terrain.
There is a small courtyard behind the bookstore. The wall is not too high and most people can't climb over it.
Yu Xiangyang found nothing new and took his child home.
During dinner, Lin Yunyi said to him excitedly, "Xiangyang, I found a very outstanding girl for you according to your standards. You two can meet tomorrow afternoon."
Yu Xiangyang: “…” He just wanted to ask for a fairy from heaven, so why did he ask for a fairy from heaven?
Yu Xiangnian couldn't believe that such a person existed in the world. "Mom, she's beautiful, educated, gentle, virtuous, generous, and kind. She's also excellent in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor skills. Is there really such a person?"
"That's right!" Lin Yunyi said, "She's the niece of our new vice president of the Institute of Geology. She works in the Education Bureau. Although she hasn't studied abroad, she's very knowledgeable and talented."
"Can such a person be interested in Yu Xiangyang?" Yu Xiangnian expressed his doubts.
Lin Yunyi's eyebrows lit up with joy. "I think this is fate! That girl is quite picky. She's only 25 and still single. Xiangyang will be 27 soon, so she's just two years older!"
Yu Xiangnian was moved by what he heard. "How about tomorrow afternoon, we quietly follow and take a look?"
Yu Xiangyang couldn't eat anymore. "I didn't even agree to meet you!"
Lin Yunyi knew Yu Xiangyang would do this. She said, "I've already told your parents about this. They're very supportive of you meeting. If you disagree, talk to them yourself."
Yu Xiangyang: “…”
Yu Xiangnian goaded him from the side, "Are you running away from the battlefield? You asked for it all, and now a fairy like this appears, and you're scared again?!"
"Who's scared?!" Yu Xiangyang said unconvincedly, "I'm not afraid even of the Queen Mother!"
Lin Yunyi happily made a phone call to arrange a meeting place with the other party.
The venue chosen by the other party was a Western restaurant. Yu Xiangyang knew that this was the only Western restaurant in Beijing and it had only been open for more than half a year, so it was quite crowded.
The next afternoon, Yu Xiangyang arrived at the western restaurant half an hour early.
Yu Xiangyang considered himself a worldly-wise man, but he was still shocked the moment he stepped into the Western restaurant.
The inside is like a palace, with a high ceiling, a big chandelier, and thick and tall pillars with exquisite carvings. There are several murals hanging on the walls, and beautiful piano music is playing.
After the shock comes: capitalism! Extravagance!
The waiter took him to a table and sat him down. Yu Xiangyang picked up a book and read while waiting.
"Hello, is this Yu Xiangyang?"
Yu Xiangyang looked up from his book, his face expressionless. He stood up and said, "Yes, you are Sun Wenwen? Please sit down."
Sun Wenwen sat down with a smile.
Yu Xiangyang also sat down and said, "I've never been here before and I don't know what to eat. You can order some food."
Sun Wenwen said, "Their coffee is good. Would you like two cups of coffee first?"
"Anything is fine."
After a while, the waiter brought two cups of coffee.
Yu Xiangyang imitated Sun Wenwen, picked up a small spoon to stir it, then took a sip and almost spit it out.
What the hell!
It smells nice, but tastes worse than medicine.
Sun Wenwen noticed Yu Xiangyang's embarrassment and asked, "Can you ask the waiter to add some sugar for you?"
The waiter added sugar to Yu Xiangyang's coffee. Yu Xiangyang took two more sips and it tasted much better.
It was time for dinner, and Sun Wenwen asked the waiter to bring the menu so she could order.
Yu Xiangyang looked at the menu. He recognized all the words, but he had no idea what they meant when put together.
I simply asked Sun Wenwen to order them all.
After the dishes were served, Yu Xiangyang continued to imitate Sun Wenwen and picked up the knife and fork to cut the steak.
I took a bite and thought: It’s not as delicious as braised beef.
I took another sip of the unknown mushroom soup and thought: It’s not as delicious as the chicken stewed with mushroom soup.
I took another bite of the messy thing and thought: It seems like mashed potatoes, it tastes so weird.
Yu Xiangyang just lowered his head to eat and didn't chat with others.
It was Sun Wenwen who took the initiative to start a conversation. "It must be very hard to go to your school, right?"
Yu Xiangyang: "It's not that hard." He continued eating steak.
Sun Wenwen: “…” After taking two bites, she tried to find another topic, “Are you used to it in Beijing?”
"I'm used to it." Yu Xiangyang said and continued eating.
Sun Wenwen: “…” She also took a bite, “If you like eating here, we will come again next time.”
Her meaning was obvious enough.
She had already known Yu Xiangyang's family and personal situation clearly before she came.
Now I am quite satisfied with Yu Xiangyang. He is tall and handsome.
Yu Xiangyang said, "It's not that I like eating it, it's just that it's a pity to waste it."
Sun Wenwen was speechless for a moment.
She couldn't make up her mind what Yu Xiangyang thought of her.
Logically speaking, there is nothing to pick on about her family and personal conditions. She was the one who chose the other person in the few blind dates she had gone on before.
Yu Xiangyang was reluctant to waste anything, and even drank every drop of the free boiled water provided by the restaurant.
When we paid the bill, the total was sixteen dollars.
Yu Xiangyang felt pained, half a month's salary was gone again!
The two of them spent so much on the meal. Last time, he and his comrades, seven or eight of them, ate four ducks and several other dishes, and it only cost fifteen yuan.
As they left the restaurant, Sun Wenwen asked, "I came here by rickshaw. How did you get here?"
"My bicycle." Yu Xiangyang pointed to the new bicycle two meters ahead.
Sun Wenwen said, "I live on Yan'an Road. How about you?"
She knew where Yu Xiangyang lived, and they were on the same road.
Yu Xiangyang told me where he lived.
Just then, a rickshaw came by to solicit business. Yu Xiangyang said, "It's getting dark. You should go home quickly."
Sun Wenwen got on the rickshaw with some disappointment.
Yu Xiangyang rode his bicycle and first took a circle around the bookstore, but found nothing.
He looked outside the bookstore again and saw Wen Qiuning busy inside.
Could it be that he really saw it wrong?
That shouldn't be the case, his eyesight is very good!
When Yu Xiangyang returned home, his family was already sitting in the living room waiting for news from him.
"How is it?" Yu Xiangnian asked impatiently.
"dislike!"
