In the afternoon, Chi Xia called Ran Zhu and told her that a man named Qi Heng would be picking her up from get off work around 4 p.m.
I asked her to give Qi Heng a chance, and I also briefly explained Qi Heng's situation to her.
It is said that Qi Heng had a white moonlight in his heart who died in the early days of the apocalypse, and he has never forgotten her in all these years. They can be considered to be in the same boat.
We met today, not exactly for a blind date, just to get to know each other and become friends.
Ran Zhu put herself in Qi Heng's shoes and realized that they were indeed suffering from the same problem—unable to get what they wanted. So she didn't object and nodded in agreement without any guilt.
When she received Qi Heng's call, she felt no awkwardness at all and asked, "Yes, I know. Sister Chi told me. Mr. Qi, where are you now?"
Ran Zhu's soft voice was like a feather brushing against Qi Heng's heart, making his heart suddenly flutter. He replied, "We're almost at your TV station."
"Okay, I'll get ready and come down right away."
Ran Zhu hung up the phone, stood up, straightened the pink dress she had specially worn today, picked up the mirror to check her makeup, and after confirming that there were no problems, she picked up her bag and left the office.
She always listened to Chi Xia. Chi Xia told her to dress nicely and put on makeup today, so she did. It wasn't that she prepared it specifically for seeing Qi Heng.
But when Chen Yu saw all of this, it took on a different meaning.
He sat in his office, watching through the frosted glass as Ran Zhu, who had dressed up specially, left with an air of nonchalance.
Chen Yu felt uneasy. The words "blind date" that Ran Zhu used when she asked him for leave in the morning still bothered him.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. He was twelve years older than Ran Zhu. He was in junior high school when Ran Zhu was born.
He graduated from university, while she was only in elementary school.
Before the apocalypse, he was in the entertainment industry and what he despised most was this kind of behavior: older men taking advantage of their status to seduce younger women.
Forget about true love. In Chen Yu's eyes, relationships should be practical. It's about two people with similar experiences, worldviews, and philosophies of life who are suitable to be together.
Ran Zhu likes him, and he knows it.
In his view, the young girl hadn't met many people, which was why she was infatuated with him.
When she was in her thirties, in the prime of her life, he had grown old.
When she, Xu Liang, is middle-aged and still charming, he will be frail and old, and may even develop Parkinson's disease. She will go to square dancing, while he will be confined to a wheelchair.
Although both states contain the character for "wind," they are worlds apart.
Who wouldn't be attracted to a girl like Ran Zhu?
She is innocent and kind, with the shyness of a young girl and the maturity of a twenty-year-old woman. In the past two or three years, he has watched her work ability improve by leaps and bounds and her whole person mature step by step.
The only thing that remained unchanged was the way she looked at him.
That night, he acted impulsively.
After the impulse came endless regret. The entertainment industry is chaotic, and he also has physical needs. Although he wasn't promiscuous, he couldn't be considered chaste either.
But Ran Zhu, such a quiet and innocent girl, was defiled by him.
Does he like Ran Zhu?
I like it.
But is someone like him worthy of Ran Zhu?
He felt he was not good enough for her.
When he learned that Han Junche and Chi Xia had broken up, he was confident in pursuing Chi Xia because he felt that Chi Xia was an excellent and mentally strong person who could handle the consequences well, whether she rejected him or accepted him, and whatever the future held.
But Ran Zhu is different.
