At the end of the year and before the Lunar New Year, some people begin a thorough cleaning.
Inside the residential area, red ribbons and red lanterns were hung on the green belts, and snowmen were being built at the entrance, creating a very festive atmosphere.
But it's cold.
Ahri pulled her scarf up a bit, covering her mouth and nose, revealing only her eyes.
Ms. Xu's breath was visible as she spoke, and she said, "You got up so late, go get something to eat first."
"Um."
She slept until after 11 a.m. because the bed was too warm and she didn't want to get up.
"Sis, over here!"
A car was parked outside the residential area, and a woman dressed in festive attire waved to Ms. Xu and Ali.
Ms. Xu looked over there, but said to Ali, "Your aunt has already driven here to pick us up."
"I can drive too," Ahri muttered to herself.
The breath he exhaled was warm and slightly damp.
Ali and Ms. Xu walked hand in hand, very intimately, to their aunt Xu Jiao.
Hello, Auntie.
When Ahri spoke, she moved her face out a little, but in the end she hid it back inside her scarf.
Her face seemed to say, "I can't lose my warmth; I need to stick to the scarf."
"Hey, okay, Ahri is getting prettier and prettier. Let's go, get in the car first."
Xu Jiao smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, her eyes crinkling with laughter. Her Ah Li was a woman who knew how to dress up.
Standing on the other side of the car was a young man wearing a long black wool coat, a long gray scarf around his neck, black trousers, and black leather shoes.
He looks very elite.
He looked towards Ah Li, his beautiful eyes full of smiles; Teacher Su was still the same as ever.
At this moment, Xu Jiao said, "Hurry up and get in the car, it's warm inside."
Xu Jiao even opened the passenger door and pushed Ali towards the passenger side.
As soon as Ahri got in, the other car door opened.
A tall, long-legged man with a great physique and good looks sat down and smiled at Ah Li, saying, "Hello, Teacher Su."
Xu Jiao and Ms. Xu also sat in the back. They looked at the people in front with some surprise, "You know each other?"
"Yes, Teacher Su taught me before, I am still Teacher Su's student."
Ah Li touched the seatbelt beside her; he was Song Anle.
We hadn't seen each other for five years after graduating from high school.
Xu Jiao readily replied, "That's great, we have a three-year foundation."
Ms. Xu tugged at Xu Jiao; there was something strange about this teacher and student relationship.
Song Anle then asked Ah Li, "Teacher Su, do you remember who I am?"
Ah Li was a little embarrassed, but she still smiled and said, "Yeah, I know, Xiao Song, long time no see."
After five years apart, this man became her blind date the moment he reappeared.
Song Anle was in a good mood; it was nice that she still remembered him.
The car started moving.
Song Anle said, "I've booked a room at Junyue Restaurant, so we can go there directly for dinner."
Ah Li replied, "Okay."
Xu Jiao was whispering to Ms. Xu from behind, and every now and then she could hear things like how rich he was, how he lived in a mansion, drove luxury cars, wore designer clothes, and was independent, which was perfect for Ali.
Ah Li's gaze fell on Song Anle's face. Why would this person come to her for a blind date?
Song Anle's lips curled slightly; Teacher Su was looking at him, and he was very happy.
The car was moving at a moderate speed, and the snow on the road had all been cleared away, making travel very convenient.
When Ali, Xu Jiao, and Ms. Xu got out of the car, Ms. Xu's face looked a little serious.
After parking his car, Song Anle led the group into the Junyue Restaurant.
Ah Li held Ms. Xu's hand, glancing at her from time to time.
Ms. Xu was a little worried. He was eight years younger than her daughter. She initially thought it was fine, but when she actually met him and learned that he was her daughter's student, she felt uneasy.
Xu Jiao was still smiling, but she also whispered, "Sister, whether it works out or not depends on Ali. I think Xiao Song is a good candidate."
"But……"
"Oh dear, sis, don't say 'but,' you should ask Ahri how she feels?"
Xu Jiao handed the choice directly to Ali, and Ms. Xu's gaze followed.
Song Anle, who was walking ahead, paused slightly. Would Teacher Su be willing to continue the blind date with him?
A moment later, Ah Li's voice rang out, very softly. She said, "Since we're already here and have met the person, let's just start dating for now."
Ms. Xu said softly, "But he was your former student."
Ahri said, "It's not from now, it's fine."
"But as the saying goes, 'A teacher for a day is a father for life.'" Ms. Xu still felt a little awkward.
Xu Jiao said, "My dear sister, times are changing and progressing, and your thinking needs to change too."
The three women whispered among themselves and looked at Song Anle together.
Because Song Anle stopped, the waiter led them to the room they had booked.
Junyue Restaurant accepts reservations; the reserved rooms are large private rooms with double doors.
Inside the large private room, there was a large round table with twelve antique-style chairs.
There is also a set of four dark red antique-style round-backed chairs and a tea table next to it, where you can brew tea.
The room also has a private bathroom and a table for placing vegetables.
The overhead light wasn't very bright, nor was it very dim, and the heating was on.
Ali and Ms. Xu sat together, while Xu Jiao and Song Anle sat together.
Because of Xu Jiao's presence, the atmosphere didn't become awkward. Xu Jiao would chat and laugh from time to time, and would also steer the conversation towards Song Anle, who was always able to handle it.
After the waiter brought the food, Xu Jiao invited everyone to eat together.
