Looking at Jian Shu's wide-open eyes, Gu Mingjing found them adorable. He had seen many ferocious beasts, but Jian Shu's glare was completely intimidating to him. Instead, it made her look like a kitten with its fur standing on end, so cute and fierce that it made him want to rub her head.
However, he had just made someone angry, and Gu Mingjing didn't dare to offend him too much. He hadn't caught the person yet. What if he went too far and the person ran away?
So Gu Mingjing stopped talking about what had just happened, followed Jianshu's instructions, and obediently followed her to the dining table.
"Shushu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have laughed at you just now." Gu Mingjing was the first to apologize.
After spending his childhood with his parents, he knew that at this time he had to apologize first no matter what, otherwise it would be easy for the old issues to be brought up later.
He is not that stupid old man who doesn't even know why his mother is angry and is still adding fuel to the fire.
"No, it's nothing. You didn't do anything wrong. You don't have to apologize to me. It's my fault. I forgot to close the door." Jian Shu, who was originally a little angry, felt embarrassed after hearing Gu Mingjing's apology.
What was Gu Mingjing's fault? If she hadn't been so stunned, the following events wouldn't have happened.
And if it weren't for someone kindly reminding her, she would probably still be standing at the door in a daze. Why did she blame him? Jian Shu began to reflect on herself.
"I didn't remind you earlier and even laughed at you. I was wrong." Gu Mingjing insisted.
"No, it's good enough that you reminded me. It's all my own problem." Jian Shu said.
The two of them were pushing the blame back and forth over this matter, both thinking it was their own problem.
"How about we just leave it at that and not mention it again?" Gu Mingjing finally came up with an idea.
"Okay, let's not bring it up anymore." Jianshu felt that there would be no conclusion if they kept pushing it back and forth, so she agreed to his proposal.
The goal was achieved. Gu Mingjing looked at the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Jianshu.
"We've been arguing for so long, you must be thirsty, right? Come, have some tea." After saying that, he handed the tea in his hand to her.
"Thank you." Jianshu thanked him.
He stood up and took it. The teacup was quite big, so Gu Mingjing held part of it in his hand. When Jianshu took it, his fingertips accidentally slipped across the back of his hand.
The moment the slender, white fingertips met the rough back of the hand, it seemed as if an electric current was passing through them.
Jianshu's fingers trembled and his fingertips felt numb. He couldn't help but look up at Gu Mingjing. At the same time, Gu Mingjing also looked over. The moment their eyes met, their faces flushed and they quickly looked away.
Jianshu tried her best to ignore the strange feeling coming from her fingers, and quickly picked up the cup and drank a sip of water to cool herself down. She felt like her whole body was on fire, and the temperature of her face was enough to cook an egg.
On the other side, Gu Mingjing placed his hands on his knees, but the delicate touch just now was still lingering. The entire back of his hand felt as if it was burned by fire, hot and burning, and his entire arm was out of control.
The two of them sat opposite each other at the dining table, ignoring the dishes on the table and just drinking tea.
The two of them didn't calm down until all the tea in the teapot was finished.
But after what just happened, both of them felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, and no one spoke for a while.
After a long silence, Gu Mingjing broke it by saying, "Shushu, the food is getting cold. Let's eat first."
"Okay." Jianshu nodded, then lowered his head and started eating.
She finally understood why Aunt Meng scheduled the blind date for dinner time. At least they could eat when they had nothing to talk about, instead of just standing there in a daze, creating an awkward atmosphere.
But, is this the only way to finish the meal? Sooner or later, I have to speak, right? So, what should I say?
What topics do people usually discuss on a blind date? Self-introductions? Chatting about hobbies and interests?
Jianshu was eating absentmindedly while thinking about what topic to talk about next.
On the other side, Gu Mingjing was eating while secretly glancing at Jian Shu out of the corner of his eye, being careful not to let her notice his gaze.
She likes meat? Then ask Lao Tan to make her some braised pork, sweet and sour pork, or steamed pork with rice flour in a few days...
She likes spicy food, such as spicy chicken, boiled fish, and chopped pepper fish head...
She doesn't like ginger, so she'll have to pick out the ginger slices next time.
She likes soup...
Gu Mingjing silently wrote down Jianshu's preferences.
"Shushu, why did Uncle Zhao suddenly ask you to go on a blind date this time?" Gu Mingjing felt that he could not remain silent any longer, so he started to find a topic.
He was also a little curious. According to Uncle Zhao of Jianshu and others' previous thinking, they would definitely let Shushu go on a blind date and get married after she turned 20. Now Shushu was not even 19 years old, so why was she suddenly going on a blind date?
Did something happen in the middle? Gu Mingjing narrowed his eyes. Shushu should be fine.
After hearing his question, Jianshu didn't intend to hide it. She had originally planned to tell Gu Mingjing about this matter. After all, her original intention of going on a blind date was not that pure.
"Actually, Uncle Zhao originally planned to have me go on a blind date this early, but something happened a while ago that made him change his mind."
After that, Jianshu recounted the whole story from beginning to end.
"I'm sorry, the reason why I went on blind dates in the first place may not be so pure. If you mind, you can treat today's blind date as nothing and just think of it as a meal between friends." Jian Shu looked at Gu Mingjing and said.
Although she has a good impression of Gu Mingjing, if he minds this matter, Jianshu will not force it. She can only say that they are not destined to be together.
