"Comrade Wu Shishi, I don't think what you said is a problem at all!"
"You can't cook? You can learn! I believe you can definitely learn."
"Besides, there are ways to implement family planning! For example, some colleagues in my unit go back to their hometowns to give birth when they want to. If their first child is a daughter, they leave her in their hometown to be raised, so they can get pregnant again."
"We'll bring our daughter back after we have a son."
"It's nothing..."
Tao Ming smiled and waved his hand, as if he had given a perfect answer.
"As for the last point, I don't have to bring my parents back! If you don't like that, then we can just go back for Chinese New Year once a year! I'll do whatever you say, okay?"
After Tao Ming finished speaking, Wu Shishi laughed in exasperation.
I have never seen such a shameless man.
"Comrade Tao Ming, what I mean is, there is no future between us!"
"I don't like you."
"I don't want a future with you either."
Wu Shishi said directly.
"Why? What's wrong with me that I'm not good enough for you?"
Tao Ming's pride was hurt, and he frowned as he looked at Tao Ming.
"You're already over twenty and still single. You are indeed good-looking, but there's something wrong with your mindset. I'm a teacher, and I already have a permanent position. I'll be allocated housing soon. I'm confident that my conditions are not bad at all. At least I'm one of the best in the matchmaking pool, and I'm good enough to be a match for you!"
How could you do this to me?
Tao Ming looked at Wu Shishi and felt he couldn't accept it.
Wu Shishi took a deep breath.
He just said she was too old, didn't he?
"Waiter, the bill, please."
Wu Shishi said calmly.
"I'll pay! How can we let the woman pay..."
"Hello, two cups of coffee cost ten yuan, plus a 10% service charge, making it eleven yuan in total."
The waiter came over with a smile.
"What? These two drinks cost ten yuan?"
Tao Ming froze, never expecting that these two cups of awful stuff would cost ten yuan.
You have to understand that ten yuan is his monthly living expenses; it can buy so much meat and vegetables.
Tao Ming glanced at Wu Shishi disapprovingly, afraid of being called a spendthrift woman.
"Oh! Hello comrade, this is the best Western restaurant in Beijing. Everything is clearly priced. This lady has ordered our best coffee, and it's freshly ground."
The waiter glanced at Tao Ming and explained earnestly.
"Comrade Tao Ming, let me pay! I can afford this small amount!"
Tao Ming really wanted to say firmly that it wasn't necessary and that he would pay.
But he only had five dollars in his wallet, which was far from enough to pay the bill.
Besides, he didn't think those two cups of coffee were worth that much money.
Wu Shishi smiled calmly at Tao Ming, who looked heartbroken, took out twelve yuan from her bag, and placed it on the waiter's tray.
"No need to look anymore, thank you."
"Welcome, miss."
The waiter addressed Wu Shishi respectfully, but when he looked at Tao Mingshi, he merely glanced at him indifferently.
It's ridiculous that a woman has to pay for a meal out.
"Is there anything else, Comrade Tao Ming?"
Wu Shishi looked at Tao Ming and smiled.
Tao Ming was about to say that he was fine when Wu Shishi spoke first.
"Comrade Tao Ming, you can go ahead if you have something to do! I'm waiting for my friend here, so I won't see you off."
Tao Ming's face darkened when Wu Shishi told him to leave.
"Comrade Wu Shishi, although we can't be together, I still want to give you a piece of advice: you can't squander your parents' money like this..."
Tao Ming pursed his lips at Wu Shishi, feeling that it was wrong of her to waste money like that.
That's ten yuan! That's a typical family's monthly living expenses...
She only used the money to buy two cups of this awful coffee.
Wu Shishi interrupted Tao Ming.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Tao Ming, about three or four years ago, I already had my own job! So I wasn't spending my parents' money, but my own money."
"So... you don't need to worry about it!"
"This coffee is too expensive for you; for me, it's just a pastime..."
Wu Shishi's words completely changed Tao Ming's expression. Tao Ming was so angry that his face turned red, and he turned around and left.
After Tao Ming left, Xia Lan came out and looked at Wu Shishi.
"When did you become so eloquent?"
Xia Lan asked with a smile.
"Isn't it all from the blind dates I've been doing these past few years?"
Wu Shishi leaned against Xia Lan, looking aggrieved.
"Why do I always run into people like this? You didn't see the look on his face just now. Those ten dollars were like a piece of his flesh to be cut off. His eyes were wide open..."
Wu Shishi was utterly speechless.
“Your spending habits are completely different. Your ten yuan is terrifying to him, isn’t it? His monthly salary might only be twenty-five yuan…”
Xia Lan glanced at Wu Shishi with amusement and pulled her back to her seat.
"That's true."
Wu Shishi pursed her lips. She hadn't even mentioned how much pocket money her parents gave her! It would scare him to death if she told him.
"Just this one person for a blind date? Can you leave now?"
Xia Lan asked with a smile.
"It seems there's one more, at three o'clock."
Wu Shishi slumped onto the table in dejection, saying helplessly.
Xia Lan sat there chatting with Wu Shishi. When it was three o'clock, Wu Shishi returned to the table next to her and stirred her coffee with a helpless expression.
"Mom! I've already said I don't want to go on blind dates! Why are you forcing me to go on blind dates?!"
"You brat, if you don't find me a wife soon, do you want the Yang family line to end? How can I face your father like this! Go find me a wife right now."
"Mom...he definitely wouldn't want me!"
"Never mind that, just focus on your blind date and show some attitude."
"Oh dear, how am I supposed to know who my blind date is?!"
"I've already asked around, she has a corsage on her chest!"
"mom……"
"roll."
Xia Lan listened to the commotion outside the door. The man's voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't quite place it...
Yang Ziye was kicked out of the car by his mother and helplessly walked into the Western restaurant, looking around for the blind date with the corsage on her chest.
Suddenly, I saw Wu Shishi. Sunlight shone through the glass onto Wu Shishi's profile. A stray strand of hair slipped down and almost fell into the coffee in front of her. Wu Shishi slowly raised her delicate hand and brushed her hair back.
But a few strands of hair, playful and disobedient, still managed to fall down.
Yang Ziye was stunned by Wu Shishi's beauty, and thought to himself that if she were his blind date, he suddenly didn't feel so averse to her.
Wu Shishi noticed Yang Ziye's gaze, looked up at him, and was burned by his intense gaze.
Why is this person staring at her like that...?
Yang Ziye noticed the corsage on Wu Shishi's chest, and his eyes lit up instantly.
