I was used as cannon fodder at the start, but my superpower came into play!
Chapter 68 This money wasn't wasted!
Although the two are siblings who grew up together and even slept in the same bed when they were young, they took separate baths.
When it's the other person's turn to change clothes, they will actively avoid it.
In short, Su Yu had never seen such a scene before.
Looking at Su Yingluo, who was completely naked and lying on top of him, Su Yu could only think that this was too damn embarrassing!
Before Su Yingluo could react, Su Yu quickly pushed her off him.
"Even if you're just teasing me, there should be a limit."
Hastily grabbing a bath towel from the ground, Su Yu covered Su Yingluo's body.
"You little rascal, you're getting the better deal and you're still acting innocent?"
Su Yingluo realized she had gone too far, and two blushes appeared on her fair face.
To be honest, she had intended to kiss Su Yu on the cheek.
Unexpectedly, staring at Su Yu's face, he was momentarily distracted and kissed the corner of Su Yu's mouth as if possessed.
"Alright, go to sleep early."
After tidying up the coffee table and putting the things they had messed up back in their place, Su Yu greeted Su Yingluo and then went into his room.
Su Yu's mind was in turmoil. After what had happened, he didn't know what expression to wear when facing Su Yingluo.
Although she lived alone most of the time, Su Yu still placed a clean quilt in another room.
This was done simply to prevent Su Yingluo from visiting and suddenly deciding to stay overnight, just like storing her toiletries in the bathroom sink cabinet, saving a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Unexpectedly, his unintentional act played a crucial role at the critical moment. After closing the door, Su Yu touched the corner of his mouth and felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
Su Yingluo, who was in the living room, lost her playful mood and slowly walked into another bedroom.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Su Yu was half asleep when he heard his phone next to his pillow ring with a familiar ringtone.
"Who is it that's calling me so early in the morning?"
Because she was at home and very relaxed, Su Yu slept very soundly.
He was so awakened that he didn't even look at the caller ID on his phone screen. He just swiped it to answer the call.
Holding the phone to his ear, Su Yu subconsciously said "hello".
"You finally answered the phone! You've been so busy lately, haven't you?"
On the other end of the phone came a stern reprimand from a man.
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this voice, Su Yu immediately became much more alert.
Even if he's in a deep sleep, he shouldn't be so confused that he can't tell what's going on with his own father.
His heart sank, and he thought to himself that he was doomed. Su Yingluo had reminded him last night not to answer his parents' calls, but he had broken that taboo this morning.
Su Yu's hand trembled, and he almost dropped his phone.
Forcing himself to calm down, Su Yu continued speaking, following his father's words.
"I've been incredibly busy. I just got home last night and I'm exhausted. If there's nothing else, we can talk later. I need to catch up on some sleep first."
After saying that, Su Yu was about to hang up the phone.
However, Su's father on the other end of the phone did not give him that chance.
Knowing his son's personality all too well, Su's father's voice rang out again before Su Yu could even take the phone away from his ear.
"If you dare hang up the phone, I'll disown you as my son."
Su's father was not simply threatening the other party; he always meant what he said.
Su Yu felt overwhelmed and knew he couldn't escape this predicament, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and make the call.
He sighed and sat up in bed. Even though Su Yu tried his best to restrain himself, his words still revealed his impatience.
"You're calling me so early, are you just trying to show off your authority as a father?"
"Stop giving me that nonsense. You said you just got back to the city last night. If you're free today, come back here."
"I have something to do today."
"Push me off even if you have something else to do."
Before Su Yu could finish speaking, his father interrupted him.
"Your mother and I have found a nice girl for you. Come back and meet her."
"Please spare me, I have no interest in going on blind dates right now, let alone dating."
"I don't care about all that. Your mother and I have already spoken with the elders and will make sure you two meet as soon as possible. She's not bad off. She's from the countryside, but she has a stable job in the county. Most importantly, she's a hardworking and reliable girl, a good candidate for a stable life."
"I......"
Listening to his father's incessant nagging on the phone, Su Yu's head was buzzing, and his blood pressure spiked.
Given his temperament, if anyone dared to boss him around and tell him how to do things, unless they were his parents or sister, Su Yu would have sent them away long ago.
Veins bulged on his forehead. Thinking that the person on the other end of the phone was his own father, who was quite old and had raised him and Su Yingluo with great difficulty, Su Yu suppressed his anger.
"Stop saying anything, just come back today. You're not a kid anymore, it's time to give your mother and me a break."
Just as Su Yu was about to say something to completely dispel the other party's idea of him going on a blind date, Su's father hung up the phone.
"I......"
The word "fuck" stuck in his throat. Thinking that it was his own father who had done this, and with An Qiluo telling him not to swear, Su Yu ultimately didn't say it.
Gritting his teeth and staring at the wall directly in front of him, Su Yu was caught off guard. With just a slight exertion of force, he heard a cracking sound, and the phone in his hand was crushed into several pieces of electronic waste.
Slowly lowering his hand, Su Yu looked at his completely unresponsive phone, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.
With a gloomy face, Su Yu walked out of the bedroom. While washing up, he pondered how to deal with the blind date.
Just then, Su Yingluo also got up. When she came out of the room, she noticed that Su Yu's expression was not right, so she took the initiative to ask what had happened.
Su Yu recounted the events of the morning to Su Yingluo.
"Didn't I tell you not to answer their calls?"
Su Yingluo looked at Su Yu with a disappointed expression and said.
"I was still half asleep."
Su Yu scratched his head in frustration. He had planned to go and see if there were any suitable houses available today, and also to deal with the gold he had on hand.
Well, that's just messed up. We didn't do anything, and now this mess has happened.
After washing up, Su Yu was drying her face with a towel when Su Yingluo squeezed into the bathroom.
"Let me wash my face, tidy myself up a bit, and then I'll drive you home."
Su Yingluo washed her face, her tone as usual, but a faint trace of pink remained on the tips of her ears.
"No need, you still have to work today. Don't ask your boss for leave because of this. I'll take a taxi back and deal with this quickly, and try to be back this afternoon."
Su Yu glanced at Su Yingluo beside him, his gaze lingering on her graceful figure for only half a second before quickly looking away.
"What could be more important than you going on a blind date!"
Su Yingluo disagreed and refuted Su Yu's point of view.
"If you go back, I'll have even more trouble. I don't know what the old man will do. My phone just happened to break. If you have time, could you help me buy a new one? The broken phone is on my bed, and the SIM card is in there too."
Su Yu found a reason that Su Yingluo couldn't refuse: he already had a lot to do, and if he went to buy a phone, he wouldn't have to do anything else for the next couple of days.
"Okay, go and come back quickly."
Su Yingluo's tone carried a hint of regret.
It seemed that not being able to accompany Su Yu back made her feel somewhat disappointed.
To be honest, under normal circumstances, Su Yu would have agreed.
But after what happened last night, Su Yu was a little afraid to be alone with Su Yingluo, mainly because he didn't know how to face this older sister.
To say that he wasn't attracted to his older sister at all would be a lie.
No matter how you look at it, this is his sister!
Even though Su Yingluo's beauty was no less than An Qiluo's, and she was a goddess that many people longed for but could not have, Su Yu did not dare to turn the affection he felt for her, which was beyond familial affection, into real-world actions.
After getting dressed and stepping out of the house, Su Yu stood on the street waiting to catch a ride, wondering whether he should summon Lao Ai after ruining this blind date, bring her home, and tell her that she was his girlfriend.
This way, his parents will have an explanation, and they probably won't cause him any trouble because of his partner in the future.
Just as Su Yu was thinking this, the spatial watch on his left wrist suddenly vibrated.
Looking up at his wrist, Su Yu saw that it was Lu Jin calling.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yu answered Lu Jin's call.
Where are you?
As soon as the call connected, Lu Jin's sweet voice came through the watch.
Hearing Lu Jin's voice, Su Yu's bad mood improved a lot.
With a long sigh, Su Yu spoke to Lu Jin on the other end of the watch.
"Where else could it be? On the street."
"What are you doing on the street?"
"Get ready to board the bus."
"Where are you going by ride?"
Lu Jin, like a curious child, kept asking Su Yu about his itinerary.
"Want to go look at houses?"
"No, I'm going back to my hometown."
"Is there something you need?"
"Don't even mention it! My dad took it upon himself to arrange a blind date for me and forced me to go back home. What a waste of my time!"
Su Yu couldn't help but complain to Lu Jin.
"According to the original plan, I was going to look at houses today. Now, I've not only failed to see any houses, but I've also gotten myself into this mess."
"what?"
"Don't be so surprised. Not everyone is like you, born into a wealthy family, beautiful and cute, and with no shortage of suitors. In the real world, I'm just an ordinary person. It's understandable that my parents are arguing with me about this."
"this......"
Lu Jin, sitting opposite him, was speechless for a moment. After a brief silence, she asked Su Yu.
"Didn't you tell them about me?"
"I haven't had a chance to tell you yet. I just got back last night and was chased home this morning. Plus, my sister came to my house, so I haven't had a chance to contact you."
"Okay, I don't mean to be so heartless. How could you just leave me aside and ignore me like this?"
"Every family has its own problems."
Su Yu smiled, but it was a bitter smile.
Since entering the Rubik's Cube space, his life has become exceptionally busy.
If he hadn't entered the Rubik's Cube space, he probably wouldn't have resisted being pressured to go on blind dates.
It wasn't that he had high hopes for blind dates, but rather that what Su Yu lacked most right now was time.
After a moment of silence, Lu Jin spoke to Su Yu from the other end.
Share your real-time location with me.
How do I share it?
"The watch has this function."
"What do you need my seat for?"
Upon hearing Lu Jin's request, Su Yu frowned, unable to understand what this girl was up to.
He has no time to guess what the other person is thinking; he just hopes to resolve the family issues as soon as possible.
Seeing that Su Yu didn't immediately share his location, Lu Jin became a little anxious.
"Stop asking so many questions. Just turn on your location sharing. I won't hurt you."
Just like Su's father's attitude, Lu Jin didn't give Su Yu a chance to refuse.
The only difference was probably the tone of Su's father, which was more like a command, while Lu Jin's tone was half firm and half coquettish.
Su Yu shrugged helplessly, and then, under Lu Jin's guidance, activated the location sharing function.
"Alright, you go ahead with your work. I'll secretly spy on you from here, but don't let me find out you're going to any weird places."
Lu Jin let out a series of sly laughs, then hung up the phone.
Su Yu could even picture Lu Jin's charmingly naive expression when she said those words.
He hailed a cab, gave the driver his address, and headed towards his hometown.
Upon arriving home, before he could even settle in, Su Yu was kicked out by his father and sent off to the blind date location.
"I'm really about to break down."
Walking down the street, Su Yu looked utterly dejected.
He arrived at the blind date location and waited for about half an hour before his so-called blind date finally arrived.
Despite feeling impatient with the blind date, Su Yu smiled politely at the girl who was not particularly attractive, dressed casually, and was about 1.6 meters tall.
He slowly stood up, and only after the girl sat down did Su Yu sit down again.
"What would you like to eat?"
Su Yu asked the waiter for a menu and handed it to the girl opposite him.
"I want to eat this."
The girl pointed to a dish on the menu and said to Su Yu.
"OK."
Su Yu also symbolically ordered two dishes, two bowls of rice, and a bottle of drink.
Next came the pointless conversation, where Su Yu learned that the girl's name was Jiang Wen, that she was twenty-three years old, the same age as him.
After graduating from university, the girl did not immediately start working, but instead chose to stay home and take the civil service exam.
Whether it was good luck or the fact that she was a recent graduate and could learn more easily, Jiang Wen didn't have to wait several years like most people to get a job. She successfully obtained a permanent position on her first exam.
"You're really amazing."
Su Yu praised Jiang Wen, saying that although it was just an ordinary government job in a small county and the salary wasn't much, it was stable.
What do you do for a living now?
During the meal, Jiang Wen put down her chopsticks, picked up her cup, took a sip of her drink, and then asked Su Yu a question.
Upon hearing this question, Su Yu perked up.
He had already thought about this problem on his way back to his hometown.
"Me? I'm currently doing some business with a friend."
Su Yu answered casually, already guessing what Jiang Wen would ask.
"Is business easy to do?"
Just as Su Yu had expected, Jiang Wen subtly inquired about his income.
"Making a living shouldn't be a problem."
Su Yu said this on purpose to make Jiang Wen have a worse impression of him.
What does it mean to have no problem getting food and drink?
For ordinary people, whether it's delicacies or simple food, they'll eat it.
In most people's eyes, not daring to openly disclose one's income is a sign of something fishy going on.
"Have you ever thought about taking the civil service exam or the public sector exam? I heard from my family that you graduated from university, although it wasn't a prestigious one. But if you get a job, it's definitely more reliable than starting your own business."
Jiang Wen stared intently at Su Yu, observing his reaction.
"I won't take the exam. Although I graduated from university, it was at my parents' request to get a diploma. I've never really liked studying, and I dislike the cutthroat atmosphere at work even more."
Su Yu rejected Jiang Wen's suggestion without even thinking about it.
For ordinary people, going ashore is indeed the best option, but Su Yu and them are no longer from the same world.
In Jiang Wen's eyes, this scene meant that Su Yu was not ambitious and was not someone who could live a down-to-earth life.
To be honest, her first impression of Su Yu was quite good.
This is why Jiang Wen asked if the other person planned to take the civil service exam or the public sector exam.
However, since Su Yu made it clear that he had no such plans, Jiang Wen gave her the answer.
"My family hopes I can marry someone with a stable job and decent family background. It seems my time hasn't come yet. No matter how many blind dates I go on, I won't meet the right person. There's no use in my parents being anxious. If only they could understand this!"
Upon hearing Jiang Wen's words, Su Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems he ruined this blind date.
Having taken the reassurance Jiang Wen gave him, Su Yu decided to start chatting freely.
"Judging from what you're saying, you've been on quite a few blind dates."
"Not many, just a few."
"If you don't mind, could you tell me about it?"
"What's there to mind?"
Jiang Wen decided to treat the failed blind date as a chance to make a friend, and recounted her blind date experience in detail.
Listening to Jiang Wen's story, Su Yu exclaimed, "Wow!"
So he was being too tactful. Compared to the oddball Jiang Wen encountered, Su Yu's elaborate efforts to ruin his image in the other person's eyes were child's play.
The advantage of his actions was that he saved the woman's face while preventing his parents from making a fuss about it.
If we're talking about the most bizarre blind date Jiang Wen ever had, it would have to be the guy who wanted to take her to a hotel room after just one meeting.
After being politely rejected by Jiang Wen, the man bombarded her with flirtatious messages via chat software.
In the end, Jiang Wen stopped replying to his messages, but the man was still persistent and somehow found out her address.
He would go to her apartment building every few days and relentlessly pursue Jiang Wen.
"Shouldn't we call the police for this?"
From Su Yu's perspective, this clearly constitutes sexual harassment.
"I've thought about it, but he didn't do anything too outrageous. I've already deleted him from my chat list and blocked his number. He just blocked me downstairs. Calling the police for such a small thing would just make us a laughingstock!"
Being pressured by her family to go on blind dates had long been a topic of conversation among Jiang Wen's friends.
According to Jiang Wen, she didn't want to add any more dramatic elements to these stories.
Jiang Wen also rented a place, and she planned to see how the man below her would react.
If the other party continues to pester her, Jiang Wen will consider discussing with the landlord about getting a partial refund of the rent and moving to another place.
When going on blind dates, unless you encounter a really weird woman who's determined to rip you off, you shouldn't let her spend any money, regardless of whether you succeed or not.
Su Yu still needs to save face!
However, on the other hand, his money wasn't wasted; at least he heard a story.
Thinking that he would go back and tell his parents that the matter would be over, Su Yu paid for the meal and said goodbye to Jiang Wen as he walked down the street.
Before she even got home, the person she bumped into almost made Su Yu's jaw drop.
