The food was served very quickly. They even had sesame seed cakes, which Zhang Hongmei likes.
Song Zigan consciously guided Sanya to speak. He knew that this was Erya's younger sister. She looked familiar when she first came in, and he was sure after learning her name.
Both of them were very talkative and had a lot in common. So Zhang Hongmei didn't say a word and just kept her head down eating.
Listening to their conversation, I felt that there was still a good chance for them to get together.
After the meal, Lu Jing poured tea. The manager personally came over to clear the table and even brought over a plate of fruit. Although it only contained apples and pears, it was still very nice.
Both of them were secretly pleased. Song Zigan felt that Sanya wasn't an ordinary girl. She was very knowledgeable, which was a good thing for her to enter politics. Moreover, she didn't have an overbearing or domineering attitude. That was good.
Sanya truly felt happy, finally having the opportunity to openly chat with the boy she had a crush on, a scene she never dared to imagine before.
Seeing that it was almost time, Zhang Hongmei decided it was best to ask directly and clearly.
"I think you two have a lot in common. To me, you're not strangers, and you both know the purpose of this meeting. What do you think of each other?"
Let's be clear from the start. If either of you feels it's not a good fit or doesn't have the feeling, just say it clearly. We can still be friends when we meet again.
Song Zigan felt helpless; he had never heard of a matchmaker acting this way before.
Since I'm gay, I should make my stance clear first, so the girl won't feel embarrassed.
"Hongmei, I think Sanya is quite nice, and I'd like to have a conversation with her."
Sanya was extremely nervous, fearing that Song Zigan would say he was unwilling. Only after hearing his words did she feel relieved.
“I also admire Song Zigan quite a bit. I heard a lot about his achievements in college, and meeting him this time has made me admire him even more. So I agree to give it a try.”
"Alright, since that's the case, you should get to know each other better. You're both very busy with work, so it's better to make a decision as soon as possible."
They're all people I know, and I understand you all quite well. So I don't think there's any question about their character.
Okay, you two chat, we won't disturb you any longer.
After seeing Zhang Hongmei off, Song Zigan and Sanya sat down again.
"Sanya, although Hongmei told me, she doesn't know much about my family situation, so I'll still tell you."
I grew up with my grandparents. My father was in the military, and my mother passed away a long time ago. Now my father has remarried. My grandparents have also passed away, so you could say I'm all alone now.
Sanya listened to Song Zigan's words and smiled after he finished speaking. "I don't care about these things. You should know about my family, so I won't go into details. I'm a girl, and I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, but I've actually liked you for a long time."
After hearing this, Song Zigan smiled and said, "Alright, then we'll be engaged from now on. I'll just call my dad to let him know. You set a time, and I'll come to visit you."
Do you have time tomorrow?
"Okay. I'll go tomorrow."
The two then chatted for a long time, and each introduced their hobbies and interests.
Two hours later, they reluctantly parted ways.
Song Zigan returned to his office, asked his supervisor for leave, and the supervisor readily agreed.
After thinking for a while, Song Zigan dialed his father's number.
"Dad, I already have a girlfriend. I'm going to meet her parents tomorrow."
"Okay, I understand. Just make sure you think it's good."
Okay. Goodbye then.
After hanging up the phone, both father and son stared at it for a long time.
Song Zigan chuckled self-deprecatingly. What was he still expecting? He was already such a grown man, yet he still couldn't let go of things.
I shook my head. Time to get back to work.
Sanya refused Song Zigan's offer to see her off and took a car home by herself.
When I got home, I found it quite amusing to see my second sister staring at me but not daring to ask me anything.
Liu Maocai and his wife didn't know what Sanya was doing, mainly because they were worried that if it didn't work out, the old couple would be heartbroken. But now it had worked out, and Song Zigan would be coming tomorrow. They should tell them as soon as possible.
"Mom and Dad, Second Sister, Song Zigan will be coming to our house tomorrow."
"Song Zigan? You mean that guy from the city who got into the Capital University? Er Ya, did he lend you a lot of books?"
"Yes, that's him."
"When friends come over, be sure to treat them well. Have your dad go buy groceries again tomorrow."
"Mom, I'm dating him."
"What?"
"I'm dating Song Zigan. He's coming to our house to meet you two tomorrow."
"You're dating someone? When did that happen?"
"We had lunch together today, and then we decided to start dating."
Li Cuihua was so happy she couldn't stop smiling. She had been worried about her youngest daughter not finding a boyfriend, but she never expected that she would find one after returning home.
"Honey, could you go check this afternoon to see if they have any good dishes left? I'm worried they won't be able to buy any tomorrow morning."
Liu Maocai was quite happy; his youngest daughter had found a boyfriend, saving his wife from sighing and complaining every day.
"Okay, I'll go take a look this afternoon."
"No, let's go now, I'm afraid you won't buy the right thing." The old couple rushed out.
"You two are pretty quick," Er Ya teased San Ya.
"Hehe, I didn't expect this either, Second Sister. You think this isn't a dream?"
"He's coming to our house to propose marriage tomorrow, or was it some kind of dream?"
"Second sister, I liked him ever since I met him. And at school, in the student council, I heard a lot about him, and I liked him even more."
"Alright, you've got what you wanted, but you two will be spending less and less time together from now on."
"Yes, I know. The reason I was able to be transferred to the city so quickly must be because Sister Hongmei pulled some strings. I'll try my best again next year, and if that doesn't work, I'll ask Hongmei to find a way to transfer me back to the capital."
"Why are you so accommodating to Song Zigan?" Er Ya felt quite uncomfortable after hearing her proud sister's words.
"The main reason is that Song Zigan has a great opportunity right now. If he loses this opportunity, he may not come back for the next few years."
"My trips to local areas are just to build up my political achievements; ultimately, I'll return to the capital."
"Yes, I don't want you to lose yourself."
"Don't worry, second sister, I won't. I have my pride too."
Er Ya knew her younger sister was proud. If it were an ordinary girl, she would definitely meet the boy she liked if she had the chance, but San Ya wouldn't. If she hadn't told Hong Mei, she would probably have waited until she returned to the capital to find an opportunity.
"Yes, Second Sister believes you. I don't know Song Zigan very well, but on the surface, he seems like a very good person."
