The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Wang Gang and Bai Xiaohe sat down rather awkwardly, neither of them knowing how to start the conversation.

Huang Zhenhua's stupid actions left Wang Gang at a loss as to how to end the matter.

Bai Xiaohe was very calm and sat there quietly drinking tea.

Wang Gang finally gritted his teeth and explained to Bai Xiaohe: "Huang Zhenhua really wanted to come for a blind date, but he was too busy with work and couldn't come because of something urgent. He asked me to explain it to you."

Bai Xiaohe smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, you don't have to bother making excuses. I know Huang Zhenhua doesn't want to come on a blind date."

Wang Gang laughed awkwardly: "Ms. Bai, let me tell you the truth! The blind date was arranged by Lao Huang's parents. He was quite averse to it, so he asked me to come."

Bai Xiaohe understood: "It doesn't matter. In fact, my parents also arranged for me to come here. I can understand Mr. Huang's feelings. And for me, it doesn't matter who I go on a blind date with."

Wang Gang was stunned and asked in confusion: "What does Miss Bai mean by this?"

Bai Xiaohe sighed and said, "Mr. Zhou saved my life, so I just said some things directly. In fact, I just broke up not long ago, and my family forced me to go on a blind date. I don't really care."

Wang Gang asked curiously: "Can I hear the story between you and your ex-boyfriend?"

Bai Xiaohe glanced out the window, as if reminiscing. After a long while, she said, "My story is not exciting at all, and there is nothing much to say."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "I'm not a gossip-monger. I'm just curious about who could break up with such a beauty like Miss Bai?"

Bai Xiaohe said shyly: "I have an ordinary appearance and a dull personality, I am not a great beauty!"

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "If Miss Bai is not considered a beauty, then there are no beautiful women in the world. Your boyfriend broke up with you, and that's his loss."

Bai Xiaohe found that Wang Gang's voice had a kind of magic that made people relax unconsciously. She also wanted to confess something, so she simply told him about herself and her boyfriend.

"My boyfriend and I were college classmates and we have been together for five years, but he is from another city and returned to his hometown to work after graduation so that he could take care of his parents.

We were originally planning to have a long-distance relationship, and I planned to go to Anhui to find him after I got my Ph.D.

But not long ago I suddenly received a breakup letter from him. I heard that he was following his parents' arrangements in his hometown and was ready to marry another woman. "

Wang Gang listened quietly without expressing his opinion, just like a silent listener.

"Am I stupid? I thought that distance wouldn't be a problem as long as there was love, but he still chose reality!" Bai Xiaohe said with a wry smile:
"The little bridge where I fell into the water yesterday was actually where we used to go on dates."

Wang Gang was surprised and asked: "Didn't the robbers cause you to fall into the water?"

Bai Xiaohe was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou misunderstood. I'm not that fragile. I won't be desperate after a breakup. I was indeed pushed into the water by a robber yesterday."

Wang Gang said in a deep voice: "That important letter you mentioned yesterday, was it written by him?"

Bai Xiaohe sighed and said, "Yes."

Wang Gang whispered: "It seems that you haven't let him go, why don't you go find him?"

Bai Xiaohe was silent, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Wang Gang asked tentatively: "You are unwilling to give up and afraid of being hurt again, so you dare not go to him. Instead, you follow your family's arrangement to go on a blind date and prepare to start over?"

Bai Xiaohe apologized: "Mr. Zhou, please tell your friend, I'm sorry."

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "You are not wrong, you don't need to apologize."

Bai Xiaohe looked at Wang Gang's sincere eyes and hesitated: "Mr. Zhou, do you think I should go find him?"

Wang Gang smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a bit nosy. Logically, I have no right to manage your business." Bai Xiaohe said sincerely, "Mr. Zhou, you are my lifesaver. I want to hear your opinion."

Wang Gang saw that Bai Xiaohe didn't seem to be pretending, so he simply said, "I can't control your thoughts, but what I want to tell you is that since you haven't let go of your previous relationship, don't try to replace it with another one. This is unfair to you and your future significant other."

Bai Xiaohe said guiltily: "I know. In fact, I have been very conflicted about coming to the blind date today. To be honest, I was actually relieved that Mr. Huang didn't come."

Wang Gang smiled and said, "If I were you, I would go find him. Even if we are destined to break up, we should end this relationship. Your boyfriend unilaterally proposed a breakup with a letter. This is not only immature, but also disrespectful to you. It is very irresponsible."

Bai Xiaohe looked at Wang Gang's eyes with a little surprise, and after a while she said: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou. After talking to you, I feel much better. As for whether to look for him or not, I need to think about it again!"

Wang Gang smiled and said, "Don't call me Mr. Zhou, you can call me Lao Zhou, or just call me by my name Zhou Shihui."

Bai Xiaohe nodded and said, "Then don't call me Miss Bai. You can call me Xiaohe. That's what my friends call me."

Wang Gang took the initiative to extend his hand and said to Bai Xiaohe: "Xiaohe, we are friends now!"

Bai Xiaohe shook hands with Wang Gang and said happily: "I am very happy to have a friend like you, Lao Zhou! I am also glad that the blind date today is you."

Wang Gang said sincerely: "If you feel bored in the future, just contact me directly and don't go out alone. As a friend, I am willing to go out with you, a beautiful lady."

Bai Xiaohe took back her hand, her cheeks slightly red as she said, "Okay, Lao Zhou, I will definitely ask you to come with me next time I go to Yanjiao, and I will return the money to you by the way."

Wang Gang looked at the time and saw that Mr. Huang was almost half an hour late.

Bai Xiaohe said: "You have a dinner date with friends today, so I won't bother you. See you next time."

Wang Gang explained: "My appointment today is with Huang Zhenhua's father. He has been late for a long time. I need to make a phone call to ask him something."

Bai Xiaohe stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first. I'll contact you by phone."

Wang Gang stood up to see Bai Xiaohe off, then stood at the door of the hotel and called Huang's father.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry. Something urgent happened at school and I will be delayed for a while. Can you wait for me for another ten minutes? I will come as soon as possible." Huang's father apologized on the phone.

"Uncle Huang, I'm not in a hurry. Please drive slowly." Wang Gang said politely.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Gang called Huang Zhenhua again.

"Old Huang, you have to treat me to a meal. I am very embarrassed today because of you."

"Old Zhou, has Bai Xiaohe left?"

"I have calmed the man down, but what you did was too unkind. This is not the way you want to trick me!" Wang Gang said speechlessly.

"I'm sorry, I'll treat you to a big meal to make amends later. My family is just pressuring me into a corner. Although I've never met Bai Xiaohe, my mother said she's a very good person. I really want to introduce her to you. It's been a long time since you broke up with Guan Zhizhi, so you should consider finding another one." Huang Zhenhua said.

"Xiao He is really good. She is not only well-educated but also beautiful. Don't regret it if you don't come!" Wang Gang laughed.

"Oh, it seems that you and her get along well. This means that I, as a matchmaker, have done a great deed. If you two really get together, you have to give me a matchmaker red envelope!" Huang Zhenhua said happily.

Wang Gang was sure that Huang Zhenhua had never seen Bai Xiaohe, and had not even seen her photo, otherwise he would not have said this. Bai Xiaohe completely met Huang Zhenhua's aesthetic standards!

"By the way, why did my dad invite you to dinner today?"

"How should I know? He's not your father!" Wang Gang looked at the entrance of the hotel and saw Huang's father walking in. He immediately hung up the phone and stood up to greet him. (End of this chapter)
