To mess up a blind date like this, Zhu Daodao must be a real fool.
âThere must be something wrong with his eyes.â Xiao Qian finally figured it out.
Itâs busy at work now, and yet Daodao can come, which doesnât make sense.
Combining Zhu Daodaoâs abnormal behavior today, Xiao Qian guessed that he must have some eye problems.
âIâm sorry for the loss I caused you. Iâll pay for it.â Zhu Daodao said to the waiter.
He knew he shouldnât come in this situation, but his father insisted on bringing him here, with mistakes all over the place.
âWhatâs wrong with your eyes?â Xiao Qian came over and asked.
âConjunctivitis, everything looks foggy.â
âYouâre nearsighted, right? Why didnât you wear your glasses?â
â⦠I originally did, but just before we left, my mother forcibly removed them, saying she was afraid-â Zhu Daodao looked in the direction of Shuixian, who he mistakenly thought was the server.
âAfraid of scaring you.â
His eyes did indeed look a bit scary now.
The waiter was indeed scared, wondering if this salad-drenched customer was trying to take advantage of her. Itâs not allowed in a legitimate businessâ.
âPff!â Xiao Qian laughed.
Shuixianâs lips twitched, wanting to laugh but feeling a bit stifled.
âWhy would you come out when youâre sick? Are you that eager to get married?
You seem to be 35 if not 30.â
Shuixianâs voice was a bit low, with a hoarse, magnetic quality. In his blurred vision, Zhu Daodaoâs ability to distinguish voices increased significantly. He looked in her direction, trying hard to see his blind dateâs face, but it was still fuzzy.
-I was born in the Year of the Tiger, Iâm 27 years old, not thirty yet.â
âAh, well, you seem to have aged a bit quickly.â Shuixian deliberately spoke sarcastically.
In fact, Zhu Daodao wasnât as old as she said. He just looked a bit serious with his sunglasses on, and since their first impression wasnât good, she was trying to get back at him for splashing water on her.
-Yeah, the ladies I dated before also said thatâ¦â He wasnât surprised at all and realized that his tenth or eleventh blind date this year had failed again.
âIâll buy you clothes and then take you home. Iâm sorry for the inconvenience I caused you.â
Still a gentleman, but he almost bumped into a pillar again when he turned around. Seeing his clumsiness, Shuixian couldnât help but laugh.
Xiao Qian frowned.
âWhatâs your zodiac?â
âTiger.â
This zodiac seemed to be wrong⦠She seemed to remember that when she met her benefactor, he had just had his zodiac year?
When they exchanged letters, it seemed like they had specifically discussed it.
At that time, Xiao Qian didnât have much money and wanted to give her benefactor a gift. She specifically asked his zodiac when buying clothes. It wasnât a tiger.
Where did the mistake happen? Was it because he deliberately didnât tell the truth to save her money, or was it because sheâ¦
⦠got the wrong person from the very beginning?
After getting off the elevator, Lily Tang tugged at Xiao Qianâs sleeve, not wanting to buy clothes and just wanting to leave once their car arrived.
But the driver probably didnât expect such a swift and decisive blind date and had gone off somewhere in the car.
The wind penetrated her coat, making her shiver.
âLetâs take a taxi home.â
âLetâs go buy clothes.â
Both Shuixian and Xiao Qian spoke at the same time, with Shuixian looking at
Xiao Qian incredulously.
Friend, how could you betray me at this moment?
Xiao Qian dragged her arm, âItâs always good to learn more about young people.â
In fact, she didnât want to miss this opportunity. She had to make sure whether Zhu Daodao was her benefactor or not.
In the elevator, Xiao Qian also exchanged phone numbers with Zhu Daodao.
This move puzzled Shuixian. Was Xiao Qian interested in Zhu Daodao?
Obviously not, then why did she take Zhu Daodaoâs phone number?
Shuixian was dragged into the shopping mall by Xiao Qian, and Zhu Daodaoâs attitude was clear. He wouldnât feel comfortable until he took proper care of the girl he had messed up.
But with his current, near-blind state, going to the crowded shopping mall made Xiao Qian and Shuixian feel uneasy.
They worried that he would bump into people or mannequins.
Buying clothes at the fastest speed, Lily Tang told the salesperson that she wanted the one she was wearing. The saleswoman opened the receipt, and Shuixian wanted to take it.
Xiao Qian quickly snatched it away and handed it to Zhu Daodao.
âGentlemen first.â
Shuixian didnât want the clothes he bought, but Xiao Qian had done this already. Being pretentious wouldnât be good, so she could only whisper to Xiao Qian.
âWhat are you doing? Are you sure he can make it to the cashier?
With Zhu Daodaoâs current vision, heâs just a little better than a blind man.
âIâll go with him.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiao Qian just waited for this opportunity.
Leading Zhu Daodao to the cashier, Xiao Qian saw he was going to use cash and pointed to the cashier, saying,
âCard only, do you have a card?â
The cashier looked at Xiao Qian, wanting to say something but refrained.
Lady, the sign says âplease present member card,â are you really okay with fooling a blind man with sunglasses like this?
Zhu Daodao changed to a card, not suspecting anything and swiped directly.
After signing, Xiao Qian kept looking at the card receipt.
It was indeed his handwriting.
Where⦠on earth⦠did it go wrongâ¦
Coming out of the shopping mall, Xiao Qian was still deep in thought. In contrast, Zhu Daodao didnât have much to say to Shuixian. They were several years apart, and neither of them was really interested in each other. They were forced to meet by their parents and knew they didnât have much in common.
âIâm sorry for the trouble I caused you today.â Zhu Daodao said to Shuixian.
âItâs okay, just donât go without glasses next time when your eyes have problems. Itâs dangerous.â
As Shuixian had changed clothes and her anger subsided, she calmed down and thought they were both being forced to get married by their parents. It would be good to have mutual understanding.
âThereâs another thing, Iâd like to ask for your help,â Zhu Daodao said awkwardly, âPlease tell your family you donât like me; otherwise, my mother will certainlyâ¦â
âAlright, Iâll handle it. Why is your family so eager for you to get married, though?â
In order to leave a good impression on the girlâs side, they didnât let him wear glasses. They must be so eager. And from what she understood, he had failed many blind dates before.
-My father had a checkup before the new year, and they found a tumor here, thatâs why they pushed me to get married.â
Zhu Daodao pointed to his stomach, and Xiao Qian came out of her thoughts and couldnât help asking.
âSo, is that why you wrote on the wish list that you hope your family stays healthy?â
Back then, she saw two similar list, one was for the lover, and the other was for the family. Xiao Qian wanted to confirm which one Zhu Daodao had written on. âYes, how did you know?â Zhu Daodao asked puzzledly.
He just wrote the wish list casually and didnât expect it to work.
Xiao Qian refused to answer. She was thinking quickly again; the wish list was his, which meant⦠he wasnât her benefactor.
âIf your family is in such a hurry for you to get married, why arenât you in a hurry? You seem to have good prospects.â Shuixian wondered..
