Chapter 1, Forced into the Vegetable Market

Yang Xiaoguang was facing the door, having been educated to the point of drowsiness by the "chemist." When he inadvertently raised his eyes and saw the boy at the door, his spirits were instantly lifted. He thought to himself, indeed, handsome men are the angels who save humanity's vision

The other party apologized, saying: "Next time, I will definitely treat you to a meal. I have ordered a dinner sandwich set for you, and the bill has already been settled."

On the evening after his first blind date, Yang Xiaoguang reported to his father, "I feel that the gap between my undergraduate education and that of a master's degree is comparable to the distance between the Earth and the Sun. I believe that those who study for a few more years will outpace others by several streets. I think the depth of knowledge possessed by professionals is something that an ordinary person like me cannot comprehend."

The conversation over there came to an end, and the boy stood up, preparing to leave. However, just as he was about to exit, he turned back. He said to the waiter: "There is a problem with the echo of the FM Acoustic speakers in your establishment."

In public places, be mindful of the impact. Should one call 110 for assistance in resolving disputes?

That's great, you are so attentive even to something that only costs a few dozen yuan

"Can you still think about being human? You’ve already talked to me about breaking up, and you still want to be human?" The man turned his hand, transitioning from a romantic figure to a fierce one, and then developing into a violent man, striking the woman’s hand with a forceful blow.

At that moment, the "chemist" aptly remarked: "When I was an undergraduate, I worked as an assistant to a professor at the research institute, earning several thousand a month!"

The woman said: "Could you please not be so childish?"

Yang Xiaoguang concluded by saying: "I truly feel that I am unworthy of professional talents"

The man angrily withdrew his hand and shot a glare at Yang Xiaoguang, the busybody.

I received an urgent case today, so I can only leave for now. I sincerely apologize

Yang Xiaoguang was so frightened that he immediately stopped Yang Ma from continuing her incessant personal attacks.

When Yang Xiaoguang officially stepped into her second zodiac year, she became more aware of the urgency in addressing this issue

Fang Zhu describes her words with a very fitting term - "dried fish woman"

Yang Xiaoguang, considering that gentleman named Mo Bei is somewhat considerate, said: "You should not make others feel too uncomfortable; the character of the other party seems to be quite acceptable."

The introducer glanced at the indignant Yang Ma and continued, "They also said that the way girls eat doesn't look very good."

The man, filled with indignation and shame, unexpectedly raised his hand, leaving the woman momentarily stunned, instinctively covering her head with her hands

Matters of emotion depend on fate, who says that all blue-chip stocks have been sold off? You must have confidence

Yang's mother went through many connections and finally found a suitable young man who works in a public institution and holds a civil servant position. It is said that his family background is quite good, as evidenced by the choice of the blind date location, which is a well-known expensive restaurant in the city center

The waiter smiled, and the owner personally came over to ask: "Do you know where it can be repaired?"

However, the columnist went on to say: "The greatest tragedy for single women is that when they realize they need to open their eyes and find someone to share their lives with, they discover that the suitable men either have a girlfriend or a boyfriend."

Therefore, she does not mind making a small joke with a handsome stranger: "What was that saying? 'We want to be lovely Shanghainese,' it's hanging over there at the Line 2 subway station!"

Fang Zhu is genuinely concerned about Yang Xiaoguang's situation. Just a week later, she found a direction and called Yang Xiaoguang: "The male candidate is my neighbor and friend, studying abroad, with a local household registration, young and accomplished, handsome and charming. He recently joined a law firm in the economic development zone, with a bright future ahead, definitely a high-performing stock that will satisfy both your parents and you"

She nagged Yang Xiaoguang: "You should also look for connections on your side. Your few good friends can also be mobilized. For instance, Lin Nuannuan's father is a chief physician, so he must have access to top students from medical schools. Finding a doctor as a son-in-law would be quite good, wouldn't it? It would be much more convenient for the family when it comes to medical care. And then there's Fang Zhu, who is a journalist; he knows more people than you do, and there should be plenty of talented young individuals around him."

He is undoubtedly a handsome boy with an outstanding figure, dressed in the simplest white T-shirt and old jeans, carrying a long black poster tube with a diameter of about 10 centimeters on his back

Yang Xiaoguang thought, I cannot make decisions on such matters, it is better for me to remain silent

There was no response from Fang Zhu for a long time, and Yang Xiaoguang immediately felt worried and annoyed, realizing that his habit of being blunt and straightforward really needed to be changed

The newly appointed Vice President He Zhixuan entered the office under the leadership of the Hong Kong-born General Manager Philip. After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, he also extended a friendly hand to Yang Xiaoguang, greeting him: "Hello, I look forward to a pleasant cooperation in the future"

Upon entering the private room, she saw a slender, fair-skinned scholar sitting with his head bowed in the host's seat, flanked by three middle-aged women. The three women were the introducer, the man's biological mother, and his aunt. Together with Yang Xiaoguang herself and Yang's mother, there were five women at the table facing one man

Someone passed by her, stopped, and seemed to look at her with great interest, saying: "You really love to meddle in other people's affairs"

Just as the "chemist" was passionately spreading the idea that "knowledge is power," the doorbell of the teahouse rang with a "ding," and a tall boy walked in through the entrance

The other party's mother said with an air of indifference: "In fact, the daughter-in-law we hope for in our family is ideally someone who is a doctor or a teacher. Miss Yang is indeed very elegant; have you considered changing to a different job in the future?"

Fortunately, the waiter wearing a brown apron promptly handed over the menu, and the "chemist" eagerly snatched it up to place his order. Noticing that Yang Xiaoguang did not respond to his first question, he had no choice but to choose a topic himself and began to recount his personal growth story.

The waiter approached and greeted: "Welcome."

Fang Zhu said: "No wonder you can't find a boyfriend. Your parents are right; you have indeed reached the age where you should seriously consider this issue"

He silently sighed while assessing his guest, realizing that such a good-looking boy was actually a delivery person

Yang Xiaoguang raised her head, looking in surprise at this assertive aunt, wanting to ask, "Could you introduce me?"

Recalling the time when Fang Zhu divorced, I often ridiculed and cursed the other party both in public and behind their back, and at this moment, a chill involuntarily runs down my spine

In order to express her seriousness, Yang's mother decided to personally accompany her daughter to the banquet, and even requested her daughter to wear a suit, making Yang Xiaoguang feel as if she were going for a job interview

The other party is indeed a meticulous gentleman, and Yang Xiaoguang quietly gave him a few more points in her heart

Where does Miss Yang work

She thinks that the world is truly marvelous, coincidental like a novel, and not everyone is so fortunate to encounter their new boss, who happens to be her best friend's ex-husband

From this window, one can see that the recently popular Sichuan restaurant across the street is bustling with activity, with most of the people waiting in line being young couples, paired off and creating a lively atmosphere

While waiting for the other party to arrive, she took a moment to assess her appearance in the glass window. The image after being supervised by Yang Ma was quite good; the knee-length chiffon slip dress, with its tags removed just yesterday, showcased her fair and delicate skin, and her apple-shaped face was lively and rosy. Her conclusion was that she could still present herself well and would not embarrass her parents.

However, the other party remained at ease, treating her no differently than any other colleague. Yang Xiaoguang consoled herself, thinking that so many years had passed since the incident, and it would be unmanly for the other party to hold a grudge against someone like her, an outsider.

As the streetlight illuminated, she immediately saw her reflection in the mirror, sitting alone on the empty chair, resembling a solitary ghost.

The waiter approached and handed an envelope to the young boy, saying: "This is the payment"

Yang Xiaoguang nodded and clenched his fist: "I should have confidence"

Yang Xiaoguang was leaning over her computer, reading celebrity gossip. A male star's girlfriend outside the industry was exposed, and when questioned by reporters, she adamantly denied it. This made her, as an onlooker, grit her teeth in anger, secretly cursing "men are too exceptional." Suddenly, Yang's mother slammed her hand down on the computer desk, startling her so much that her anti-radiation glasses nearly fell off her nose.

After she finished watching, she calculated with her fingers and murmured to herself: "Indeed, staying on the sofa watching anime and movies is much easier than being in a relationship"

By the way, this is my friend's business card. Their company is located out of town and they are coming to this city to participate in some kind of anime exhibition. They need to have some printed materials done here. You can contact him, but the quantity is not large, just around 1,000 yuan.

Yang Xiaoguang understood Fang Zhu's concerns and smiled, saying: "I know that being a matchmaker is not easy; one has to take into account the feelings of both parties, and if not handled well, it may result in dissatisfaction from both sides"

Yang Xiaoguang has always adhered to the principle of being a frontline soldier in the workplace, avoiding involvement in other trivial matters. However, this time, he is somewhat aware that the equity of the board of directors at the Hong Kong headquarters has undergone changes due to the passing of an old shareholder, which in turn has affected the branch office

Hello, I am Mo Bei

Shuai Zhengtai paid no attention to Yang Xiaoguang's curious gaze, calmly took the envelope, folded it, and stuffed it into his pocket

The waiter presented the handwritten bill and stated: "A total of 65 yuan"

The boy said: "I can give it a try, but I still have deliveries to make today. I will be free next Monday, and if it is convenient, I can come over in the evening to fix it"

These words floated into the ears of the "chemist" at just the right distance, neither too far nor too close. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, his eyes sparkling with life like a bird's nest, and then turned to call the waiter: "Check, please"

"It seems as if you are saying we have already succeeded," Yang Xiaoguang asked, "Last time you mentioned that the other party's family conditions are quite good, but my family belongs to the working class."

Pressure originates from the external environment and affects the internal state

Yang Xiaoguang silently rolled her eyes

The color scheme of this poster design has some issues, and our designer has made revisions

His parents do not place much importance on this matter, so it is not an issue. I have already asked the other party's parents. " Fang Zhu paused for a moment and then said, "Not every family's parents are like mine.

Yang Xiaoguang glanced sideways; outside, the sky had darkened, and the lighting in the teahouse was dim. However, she could still clearly see the young, well-defined features of the fair face before her. Especially since he was smiling, revealing very white teeth, which made his smile exceptionally bright, certainly surpassing Tian Liang. Yang Xiaoguang almost instinctively wanted to snap her fingers to accompany the grand entrance of the handsome young man.

Yang Xiaoguang finished her hot cocoa and thought that having a boyfriend is essentially about having someone to share a meal with during the loneliest and most vulnerable moments. She clenched her fist, resigning herself to the fact that in order to enjoy a beautiful meal without loneliness, she had no choice but to persist in going on blind dates.

Yang's mother also excels at cooking

Thus, a certain renowned university chemistry professor, who is the sister of a colleague of Yang's father's middle school classmate's university classmate, was invited to come out of retirement to introduce Yang Xiaoguang to an outstanding student from the medical school

Initially, the attitude of the parents transitioned from a strict prohibition against early romantic relationships before her employment to a directive that she must find a suitable man to date, marry, and have children.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Yang Xiaoguang, who has always adhered to the workplace principle of "I am just a diligent worker." However, when this new vice president appeared before her, her heart was still thrown into chaos along with the atmosphere of the entire office

Yang Ma, like Yang Xiaoguang, is adept at summarizing. From the failure of Yang Xiaoguang's first blind date, she concluded that only people from the same city can have a common language. How wonderful it is to be from the same city; the in-laws can visit each other, which aligns with her lively nature.

The originally tranquil atmosphere in the teahouse was disrupted, as the few dozen patrons in the establishment, along with Yang Xiaoguang, all turned their attention towards the couple who were in the midst of a breakup.

Fang Zhu comforted, "Auntie worries all day about whether you have enough to eat and wear warmly, while Uncle cares about your mental health. You truly are living the life of a little princess"

Fang Zhu asked her, "Once Aunt Yang gives the order, I will certainly turn the house upside down to help you find a good account. But what exactly is your request?"

Yang Xiaoguang pondered that it turns out men also possess a consciousness of beauty that surpasses that of women

Her reason is: "In the matter of blind dates, the first time is extremely important; one must first test the other party's capabilities." There are many interpretations of "capabilities," but Yang's mother clarifies it: "Both virtue and talent must be present; a man of taste must also possess virtue."

Ms. Yang is very capable; she is even the supervisor at their organization

This statement was uttered with such speed, flowing from Yang Xiaoguang's mouth through the telephone line to Fang Zhu's ears, like a fuse connected to a bundle of explosives, resulting in a resounding explosion that scattered stars across the sky

Yang Xiaoguang initially typed an "oh," thought for a moment, then typed a few more words, but ultimately deleted them all and sent out just an "oh." At that moment, the bus arrived, and she put away her phone, temporarily setting the matter aside.

The man slammed the table and exclaimed: "You actually say I am immature? Is it not because I have no car and no house that you want to leave me? How can you be such a realistic and shameless woman?"

On the second day after the blind date, the introducer reported to Yang's mother: "The man is not very satisfied with Xiaoguang's job, saying that the market work involves too much public relations and socializing."

Fang Zhu was personally entrusted by Yang Ma to wholeheartedly assist Yang Xiaoguang in her matchmaking endeavors. This inevitably made Yang Xiaoguang feel a bit embarrassed, and she said to her friend: "How wonderful you are, living alone, self-reliant, bearing your own profits and losses, and always enjoying peace and quiet."

It was just a bit noisy in the store, as a couple sitting behind Yang Xiaoguang was discussing their breakup

Yang's mother replied: "I usually enjoy reading books and watching movies, and I am also quite skilled at doing housework"

Yang Xiaoguang muttered in dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you say so earlier? It made me come all this way for nothing," but her tone remained polite as she added, "It's alright, it's alright. I apologize for being late today"

Yang Xiaoguang imagined this scenario in her mind and shook her head: "Although I really enjoy reading romance novels, having such a situation happen to someone like me is just too cheesy, isn't it? It's not my style." She sighed, "Why do people have to fall in love and get married? It must be so troublesome!"

When Yang's father saw the talent, he was already satisfied with the candidate recommended by the introducer, even before meeting the person. He seriously told his daughter: "As long as the person is exceptionally talented, it does not matter how much wealth they possess; as long as they have a solid professional background, it does not matter if they are from this city. This child has obtained an invention patent and will soon be going to the United States to pursue a doctor's degree, clearly on the path to becoming a chemist."

While waiting for the bus, she received a message from Fang Zhu: "The person's full name is Mo Bei, wearing a blue Puma polo shirt. I have an urgent interview tonight, so I won't be able to act as the matchmaker on-site."

"If you want to argue, go home and argue; are you here just to embarrass the Chinese people?" Yang Xiaoguang pointed at a foreigner among the more than ten Chinese people in the store, who was intently watching the show.

The store has returned to a state of tranquility

The chemist clearly expressed dissatisfaction, curled his lips, and remarked: "As the saying goes, one learns as long as one lives; only knowledge can equip you for a bright future"

After fondly reflecting on the glorious history of his life, the "chemist" did not forget to express a strong desire to marry and have children, and he requested that his future wife ideally hold a master's degree to match his upcoming status as a doctoral candidate in the United States. He asked Yang Xiaoguang: "It seems you only have a bachelor's degree? Have you considered pursuing a master's degree or something similar?"

The waiter reported to the manager, who was quite surprised. After agreeing on a time with the boy, the manager spoke to the waiter only after the boy had left: "How unusual, he could actually recognize my FM Acoustic? In the entire city, probably only I and the nightclub in Gubei are willing to spend this much. I've never seen a young person who works so hard to earn money, even taking on delivery and repair jobs."

The boy seemed to be looking for someone. After stepping through the door, he did not immediately take a seat, which gave the guests another opportunity to glance at him several times, including the "chemist" who was educating Yang Xiaoguang. The "chemist" also instinctively puffed out his chest.

The man said: "Do you want the house and the car, or our three years of relationship?"

Fang Zhu and Yang Xiaoguang have been close friends since middle school, sharing a bond for seven years. Both being single, Fang Zhu empathized and expressed agreement: "When a woman's physiological time arrives, she must face both subjective and objective pressures. Blind dates may not be a bad solution. You should also consider changing your 'herbivore' nature. Don't you want a man waiting for you with flowers and chocolates downstairs after work?"

The blind date was five minutes late. As she walked over, the sun hid behind the clouds. Yang Xiaoguang looked up at the sky and silently reminded herself that she was not a superficial person, she truly was not a superficial person.

This blind date was scheduled for after work on a weekday, with the location chosen by Yang Xiaoguang. She once again selected the tea house called "Afternoon Red Tea," the same place as her first blind date. The reason was not as complicated as Yang's mother initially thought; it was mainly because it was close to home.

Yang Xiaoguang rolled up the newspaper, thinking to himself that this columnist truly has a sharp pen, adept at striking at people's soft spots, and always hits the mark.

Reading books—indeed, pocket romance and anime

On this morning, a vice president in charge of a new project, transferred from the Hong Kong headquarters, officially commenced employment, causing a stir in the previously calm company

Yang Xiaoguang gritted his teeth and extended his hand

Doing housework is certainly not a mistake; washing dishes and breaking dishes, mopping the floor and spilling water, Yang's father is already unwilling to let her interfere in any household chores.

Yang's father notified her in an unprecedented serious tone: "You are not a child anymore; you should start thinking about serious matters. I see you spending your days off idly at home, with no other entertainment activities besides playing on the computer and watching cartoons, so you should go on a blind date."

Yang Xiaoguang rubbed his eyes and said, "I have not been particularly good at studying since I was young"

Yang Xiaoguang, dull-witted: Mo Bei? Which ghost?

The conversation over there faintly reached my ears

In this city, a woman has passed her second zodiac year. If her career is stable and her appearance is not lacking, then finding a suitable boyfriend is currently the most important task she needs to accomplish in her life.

Yang's mother took her blind date very seriously, even organizing the planning for her first blind date. The meeting place was set at a quaint tea house in a commercial center very close to their residential community. The tea house had a rather sophisticated name, called "Afternoon Tea"

The boy said, "I am here to deliver goods." He unloaded the poster tube from his back, opened it, and carefully pulled out a roll of posters. "There are a total of three posters, here is the receipt, please sign for it."

The chemist, though somewhat rustic, had a lively personality. She greeted me warmly with a handshake and engaged in friendly small talk. Once we settled into the shop, her first question was straightforward, as she inquired about Yang Xiaoguang's family background. She enthusiastically asked, "Your father is a distinguished mathematics teacher! My sister is taking the university entrance exam next year; could you ask your father to give her some free tutoring?"

Fang Zhu laughed heartily: "Then this man must be able to do housework and tidy up; I understand the direction now"

After this disappointing experience with the matchmaker, Yang Ma was greatly affected and vowed to find a suitable and respectable partner for Yang Xiaoguang. In addition to her own efforts, what angered her was Yang Xiaoguang's lack of ambition

Very skilled at cooking - scrambled eggs with tomatoes

Fang Zhu also smiled: "I know you have a good character, and he has a good character as well. It is best when two people with good character can be together"

The woman, unable to bear the attention of everyone, blushed and tugged at the man's sleeve, saying: "Please don't do this, how am I supposed to face others?"

Thus, when Yang Xiaoguang stood at the entrance of the boutique teahouse, she felt somewhat like the "ON SALE" advertisement poster at the entrance of a shopping mall

Fang Zhu said, "If you can think this way, then I can rest assured." After considering for a while, she still decided to speak frankly with Yang Xiaoguang, "The other party has been in a relationship before, and their emotional experience is not very complicated. The ex-girlfriend is in Canada and is already married with children. He should really be very busy today; he generally does not cancel appointments."

The other party's aunt asked: "What hobbies does Miss Yang have in her daily life?"

Yang Xiaoguang casually tugged at her clothes and took her seat with ease

Father Yang's expression of hope instantly turned into one of disappointment

The waiter, seeing that Yang Xiaoguang's drink was finished, asked: "Would the guest like another cup of barley tea?"

However, Yang's mother harbored some doubts about this candidate due to traditional old beliefs: "Blind dates are a good thing, but one cannot overlook the household registration and background!"

The chemist asked Yang Xiaoguang with a smile, "Do you have fifty yuan? I happen to have change for you; your cup costs twenty-eight."

The man's face was utterly lost, unable to express his anger, and disregarding the woman, he stormed out. The woman, feeling extremely embarrassed, left in shame and indignation

At this moment, the phone rang promptly

Yang Xiaoguang adjusted her expression at the entrance of the store before pushing the door open. After surveying the interior for a moment, she found it to be completely empty, with no gentleman wearing a blue Puma polo shirt in sight. Upon further inspection, she still found nothing, not even in the outdoor seating area.

Yang's mother replied: "I work at an advertising company"

Indeed. The pressures faced by urban women have always been more than just singular; at times, they are dual.

His hand was caught by someone in time

The man said: "How could you treat me this way?"

Yang Xiaoguang looked at the handsome young man and recalled the situation from their last encounter in this establishment, thinking to himself that he had come to earn some extra money

They inquired together about Yang Xiaoguang's intentions. Yang Xiaoguang felt a bit awkward but could not refuse the earnest love of her parents, so she could only say: "Blind date? How embarrassing!" This could also be seen as her acceptance of her parents' arrangement.

Yang Xiaoguang waved his hand: "For the sake of my culinary delights and your sales revenue, I would like a cup of hot cocoa"

The other party's aunt promptly and politely intervened: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables"

The waiter said, "Please come with me over here." After saying this, he led the boy to another corner of the tea house

I hope you will be satisfied

Yang Xiaoguang took two deep breaths and then pursed her lips, quickly blurting out: "A new vice president at our unit, whose surname is He, graduated from your school, it's He Zhixuan!"

At this moment of hesitation, Fang Zhu noticed her unease and asked, "Aguang, is there anything else you would like to say to me?"

The chemist seemed to breathe a sigh of relief; although he said nothing, he smiled and poured himself a cup of tea, with a chrysanthemum floating on the surface, and he drank with great delight

Yang's mother raised her eyebrows: "Ha, what does that mean? I haven't even complained about their son being too dull and lacking manliness. A man like that won't be able to handle his own mother, he will definitely end up being someone who is 'sandwiched' in the future"

This is the part that Yang Xiaoguang considers the most worthwhile in this blind date. She became completely distracted when the stir-fried shrimp, smoked braised pork, and steamed salmon were served. As soon as she heard it was time to eat, she picked up her chopsticks without hesitation, slicing through the food like a flying knife, taking large pieces with every stroke. She didn't pay any attention to what the scholarly young man beside her looked like until the banquet ended, when she finally realized that he was quite handsome.

Yang Xiaoguang, in a column for a local fashion weekly, noted the explanation of the column writer, known for their sharp pen, regarding the term "dry goods woman": "Dry goods women experience significant work pressure and have become accustomed to giving up on romantic relationships. Perhaps it is due to a lack of awareness, or they simply believe that 'this is the easiest way.' Compared to finding a man to date during the holidays, they prefer to sleep at home or lounge on the sofa in loose clothing while watching movies. This is not because they are incapable of love, but because they have not found a man who can make them willingly replace their leisurely, comfortable, and relaxed lifestyle." Compared to finding a man to date during the holidays, they prefer to sleep at home or lounge on the sofa in loose clothing while watching movies. This is not because they are incapable of love, but because they have not found a man who can make them willingly replace their leisurely, comfortable, and relaxed lifestyle.

She turned back and expressed her little grievances to Fang Zhu: "I went to the small market for a big sale, it was so miserable and tragic!"

Zheng Tai smiled, slightly lowered his head, and switched the toolbox from his left hand to his right hand. Yang Xiaoguang suddenly recognized that he was the boy who had delivered posters during her last blind date at this location.

On the second visit to "Afternoon Red Tea," there were not many guests in the restaurant as it was dinner time, with only four or five tables occupied.

Thus, Yang Xiaoguang heeded the advice and began to reflect on herself, looking back at her pale life of over twenty years. For her, falling in love was not only a challenge but also a blank sheet of paper.

Yang Xiaoguang concentrated for a moment and said: "To satisfy my father's wishes, one must have a high level of education and engage in academic pursuits. To satisfy my mother's wishes, one must have a stable job and a local household registration. If I were to satisfy my own desires—" She pondered for a moment again, "Just like what an author of an emotional column said, a man who can make me willingly replace my leisurely and comfortable life with his presence is what I desire."

The actual situation is also quite similar

Yang Xiaoguang shook his head: "Some loves are also very heavy"

Yang Xiaoguang observes the nose with the eyes, and observes the heart with the nose

The first to be unable to sit still was her father, the mathematics teacher who was usually stern and rarely smiled

She was not polite either, quickly finding a good spot near the street and calling over a waiter to order the prepaid sandwich set. Looking at the large screen in the square broadcasting a television program, it was showing a talent competition where a girl had failed to advance and was crying in the arms of her competitor. Whether it was genuine sorrow or feigned grief, whether they were truly sympathetic or merely putting on a show, it was certainly quite a spectacle, effectively passing the time and allowing Yang Xiaoguang to enjoy her solitary dinner in peace.

Indeed, she has reached maturity, the golden age for women. Every time she attends a class reunion and notices that the number of single men is decreasing while the number of red envelopes she receives is increasing, her sense of crisis grows day by day. To say that she is not anxious is absolutely impossible

That evening, the matchmaker Fang Zhu called to inquire about the progress. After listening to Yang Xiaoguang's account, she immediately expressed her displeasure

Yang Xiaoguang felt a pang of sympathy in her heart, wishing she could hold her friend's hand at that moment. However, all the topics she could think of rolled through her mind, and recalling the newly appointed vice president of the day, she found herself unable to express the words that were on the tip of her tongue

Yang Xiaoguang thought, this is what a chemist looks like

Sigh, sigh, sigh, Yang Xiaoguang has come to her ultimate conclusion: she must get married. With no prospective partner in sight, a countdown has begun before her, and it has finally reached the stage where she must forcibly transplant the peach tree to make it bloom. Blind dates are indeed the most straightforward approach.

Mother Yang was thoroughly enraged: "Their son doesn't even move his chopsticks, it's like a chick pecking at rice. No wonder he is as thin as a certain disease..."

The "future chemist" mentioned by Yang's father indeed possesses the demeanor of a scientist, sporting a messy hairstyle reminiscent of Kindaichi, a suit on the upper body paired with jeans on the lower, and wearing glasses that resemble the bottom of a beer bottle from Tsingtao Brewery, with eyes that are severely blurred. When standing next to Yang Xiaoguang, the two share an astonishingly similar height.

With a strange feeling of surprise and apprehension, she hastily completed her day's work, tidied up her appearance after getting off work, and then went to her blind date banquet

The woman also became angry and stood up abruptly: "Do not be so shameless!"

The waiter was amused by her and quickly went to prepare the drinks. The handsome young man had no topics left to strike up a conversation with her, so he picked up his toolbox and left. The guests in the tea house hurried off to have dinner, leaving almost all of them gone, and even the air turned quiet.

So it turns out that the person I was set up with had already come earlier

The woman said: "I have also suffered for a long time. How am I supposed to explain this to my parents? If I marry you without any material preparations, what kind of pressure will they face?"

Please give me Fang Zhu's phone number

Yang Xiaoguang tapped his index finger and said, "With such good conditions, why don't you have a girlfriend yet?"

Although the elder has retired from the ranks of the people's teachers, his style of being a role model and speaking with authority has not changed. Once Yang Ba was convinced that the lifelong happiness of Yang Xiaoguang, a modern woman, could only be achieved through the traditional method of arranged marriage, he actively set about taking action.

Watching movies is not a bad choice, whether they are Japanese or American animated films

She has prepared herself mentally and has paid her respects to all the deities in the heavens.
