On the way, Wang Xiu'e asked many questions about the procedures for today's meeting.
The two couples met at about the same time, and were barely a few minutes apart.
"Xiu'e, our appointment with Deng is still ten minutes away. He should be here soon. Please sit here for a while. I'll go pick up Hanhan first."
"Aunt Li, are we the only two couples meeting today?"
"Yes, just the two of you."
"When the man comes over later, I won't be able to tell him apart. What if I make a mistake?"
"You're right. There are two rows of tables in the teahouse, one next to the glass and one next to the front desk. The third table next to the glass is occupied by Yinghan and his wife, and the fourth table next to the front desk is occupied by your couple." Aunt Li said, then looked at her watch and said, "Oh, time is running out, Xiu'e, go in and take a seat first, and wait for me to bring Hanhan back."
Aunt Li's job as a matchmaker is very hard. She has to pick up and drop off both girls.
The main reason is that she is afraid that they will change their minds at the last minute, so she has to keep an eye on them.
Wang Xiu'e looked at Aunt Li's receding back, turned her head to look around, and saw a little girl selling flowers outside, and she had an idea in her mind.
Ying Han was given many instructions by her mother. When she finally came with Aunt Li, her mother was still giving her instructions, fearing that she would not be able to speak well and would give people a bad first impression.
Ying Han was very perfunctory because she didn't intend to fall in love with anyone today and just had to go through the motions.
When Aunt Li brought Ying Han to the door of the teahouse, the mother of overseas returnee Jiang Qi was already there.
Seeing Aunt Li, he quickly smiled and said, "Aunt Li, you're here. The person has already gone in."
"Oh, what a coincidence, just in time." Then he turned to Han and said, "Hanhan, the third table next to the glass window, go ahead and have a good chat, there's no rush."
Ying Han smiled and nodded, then turned and walked into the teahouse.
When passing by Jiang Qi's mother, she could only see her right face. Jiang Qi's mother was secretly satisfied when she saw the fair and tender face of the little girl.
...
"Hello, are you alone?"
"No, please tell me where the third table is on the side of the glass window."
The waiter immediately understood her purpose and pointed to a place, saying with a smile, "Over there, they're already here."
Ying Han looked over there and when he saw the man's face, he stopped as he was about to raise his hand to touch the bag on his shoulder.
On the other side, Deng Chen was originally looking out the window absentmindedly. After receiving the gaze, he subconsciously looked over here.
As they stared at each other, the air seemed to be still, everything around them was blurry, and there was only each other in their eyes.
"Comrade, comrade?"
Seeing Ying Han standing there in a daze, the waiter thought that she hadn't seen it yet, so he took her over directly.
Ying Han's eyes were always on Deng Chen. She mechanically followed the waiter to her seat. She didn't come to her senses until the waiter reminded her what she wanted to drink.
"Comrade, we have black tea and green tea here. What would you like to drink?"
"black tea."
The waiter nodded and turned away.
Ying Han watched the waiter walk away before turning around and saying with an excited smile, "Comrade Big Brother."
"Comrade Ying."
"you..."
"you..."
They spoke twice at the same time and ended up laughing at each other.
Deng Chen never expected that the person he would go on a blind date with would be Ying Han.
"It's been several years since we last met, and I didn't expect to meet you here."
Ying Han smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I thought I'd never see you again. Big brother, you're not from Z city too, are you?"
Deng Chen nodded and said, "Yes." Then he pointed to his face and asked, "Why are the red spots on your face still there?"
Ying Han touched his face and said embarrassedly, "I used to wear it to protect myself, but now I don't need it anymore. I was planning to remove it, but I didn't expect to encounter it today." Ying Han looked around and said in surprise, "Could this big brother be the person I'm going on a blind date with today?"
A hint of discomfort flashed across Deng Chen's face, and he nodded, "Yeah."
"...Oh." Ying Han suddenly didn't know how to respond.
After the two of them were awkward for more than ten seconds, Ying Han found the conversation and said, "Big brother, can I ask you a question?"
"Well, go ahead."
"Back then... Zhu Liang, did he really join the army?"
"Well, I sent him to the army for reformation. He's doing pretty well in the army now. He doesn't have those bad behaviors anymore."
Ying Han patted his heart and breathed a sigh of relief. "Not long after you left, a letter came from their family saying they were going to join the army. I thought it was you pretending to be Zhu Liang."
Deng Chen laughed and said, "You don't think I killed him, do you?"
Ying Han was embarrassed and smiled awkwardly.
"Also, just call me Comrade Deng. You've grown quite a bit since we last met."
Ying Han smiled sheepishly and said, "Yeah, it's been three or four years. I've already graduated from college."
She also felt that calling him "big brother" made him sound old.
...
At another table, Jiang Qi and Wang Xiu'e were having a pretty good chat.
Wang Xiu'e actually discovered that Jiang Qi liked playing basketball very much, so the topics they talked about were all things that Jiang Qi liked.
Wang Xiu'e said that she often watched her male classmates play basketball on the playground. Watching others play basketball could make her feel better.
Jiang Qi talked to her a lot about his basketball playing.
Of course, she saw it the moment Ying Han came in.
Seeing her being led to the disabled person by the waiter, I was very nervous, thinking that she would be exposed soon. But I didn't expect that the two of them would chat with each other foolishly and laugh so happily.
Two disabled people becoming a couple, what a perfect match!
...
Deng Chen looked at her two dimples when she smiled, and suddenly realized, "Comrade Ying, when I met you, did you lose anything?"
"No, I was so poor at that time that I only had a few green dates in my pocket, and I gave them all to you."
"Did you really not lose anything?" Deng Chen asked again uncertainly. This matter has been bothering him for several years.
Ying Han frowned. "No, what's wrong, Comrade Deng?"
"Nothing? I found something and thought it was yours."
"Oh, I didn't lose anything. Could it be Zhu Liang's?"
Deng Chen shook his head. "I asked, and he said no."
"Oh, what is it?"
Deng Chen smiled and said, "It's just a small thing. I always thought it was yours, and I lost it."
"I guess it was already there, and Comrade Deng just happened to pick it up."
Deng Chen nodded. "Now that I think about it, it's possible."
...
"I heard there's an adult basketball game at Jiaotong University today, organized by several organizations. Today's the final. Comrade Wang, are you interested in going to watch it together?"
"Okay, let's go now." Wang Xiu'e was thinking about how to deal with the situation later, and now Jiang Qi suddenly came up with a good idea to satisfy her.
Jiang Qi obviously has a good impression of her. Let's see how Ying Han can find a partner who has returned from overseas this time.
The two hit it off immediately. Jiang Qi paid the bill and took Wang Xiu'e out of the teahouse.
