If you're going on a blind date, do it properly, don't confiscate my property!

Chapter 11 My ex-boyfriends are so narrow-minded!

The atmosphere at the dinner table was beyond awkward!

Nausea!

Xu Lang felt a wave of nausea and wanted nothing more than to run away; especially his male best friend, whose voice became increasingly soft and coquettish, as if he were pleading.

"Embroidery~ Try this~ I think it's super delicious~"

The two of them took turns feeding each other, their eyes locked in a longing gaze, completely treating Xu Lang like a decorative potted plant on the table.

Tolerate!

For the sake of healthy kidneys, endure it!

I tapped my phone screen; ten minutes left. It's really getting hard to wait!

Then let's eat rice!

Just bury your head in your food and pretend they don't exist!

You can't see me, you can't see me...

Time, hurry up, time, hurry up...

While eating, Xu Lang only had two thoughts in his mind: to take advantage of the system and then escape, regardless of whether it was a male or female best friend.

"Bro, you..." The male best friend realized that the person in front of him was completely unpredictable.

The prepared script was completely useless; since the other party was so patient, he would make another move:

"You went on a blind date with my best friend, didn't you even ask her about her background?"

Xu Lang stopped eating, looked up at Liang Xiuhua who was being fed, and asked in a serious tone:

"Yes, we should ask, how much is Miss Liang's monthly salary?"

"Three thousand five!" his male best friend blurted out.

"What are your hobbies?"

"Baking, traveling, practicing yoga!" It was his male best friend who answered first, his fluency making it seem as if he were Liang Xiuhua herself.

Xu Lang raised an eyebrow, the suppressed anger in his heart almost bursting out. "Is your best friend a mute bride? Is she relying on you for endorsement?"

For the sake of the system reward, I have to endure it!

"Ms. Liang, I'd like to know, what are your thoughts on male best friends and boyfriends?"

"Male best friend..."

"Wait a minute!" Xu Lang waved his hand, interrupting him, and looked at Liang Xiuhua:

"I'll listen to her!"

The male best friend was a little annoyed, but he kept his mouth shut, his eyes still filled with a defiant look.

Liang Xiuhua noticed her male best friend's mood and quickly tried to comfort him:

"It's okay, our friendship of over ten years won't waver!"

His gaze fell upon Xu Lang, a hint of displeasure in his eyes:

"Mr. Xu, he's my best friend, just a different gender from me; our relationship is purely platonic. We confide in each other when we're upset, share our joys, go out together when we're bored, and drink together when we're lonely!"

"There are no secrets between us. He knows all my ex-boyfriends, and I know all his ex-girlfriends. Boyfriends can change, but best friends will never change."

"This is our relationship. If you want to be with me, you have to accept his existence. After all, we've known each other for twelve years. If something really happens between us, it won't involve you."

"I hope you won't be like my previous boyfriends, getting jealous when you see me going to bars or traveling with my male best friends. Please believe in our friendship."

She became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she were stating a sacred truth.

Aren't you quite the talker?

Why did you keep asking him to speak for you?

However, Xu Lang felt disgusted after hearing these words. It was not unjust for her ex-boyfriend to break up with her.

Snapped!

Xu Lang slammed his hand on the table, making the plates on the table rattle and startle Liang Xiuhua and her male best friend.

"It's too small, too narrow-minded." Xu Lang became a little agitated, looking at the two of them:

"What's wrong with a girl having a male best friend? How could your exes break up with you over something like this? They're so petty."

"If you don't have a male best friend, who do you talk to when you argue with your boyfriend? Whose house do you go to?"

"If you don't have a male best friend, who will go with you when you go to a bar? Your boyfriend? Impossible, your boyfriend has to earn money for you to spend, he doesn't have time to go to a bar with you."

"If you don't have a male best friend, who will go with you when you travel? It can't be your boyfriend, can it?"

"Miss Liang, I believe every girl should have a male best friend. What is he? He is your most sincere sister, the sister with whom you have the least secrets."

Upon hearing this, Liang Xiuhua's eyes became even brighter and clearer!

All four of her exes broke up because of her male best friends, and no one has ever understood her like Xu Lang has.

She felt like she had found a guy who was on the same wavelength. She could never be separated from her male best friend in this lifetime, and the prerequisite for finding a boyfriend was that she had to accept the existence of her male best friend.

The person in front of me is simply the man of my dreams!

"Right? Right? You think so too, don't you? My exes were just petty."

She was a little excited!

On the contrary, her male best friend next to her had a strange expression, as if he was a little unhappy, but he couldn't show it.

Seeing Liang Xiuhua's agitated state, his eyes sharpened, and his left hand, hidden under the table, clenched into a fist.

This subtle change in him could not escape Xu Lang's eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Xu Lang added fuel to the fire:

"I believe that any man who can't accept you having a male best friend doesn't deserve to be your boyfriend, not even Daniel Wu. You can find a new boyfriend if you lose him, but it's not easy to find a male best friend."

"That's right, that's right!" Liang Xiuhua nodded repeatedly, like a hen pecking at rice.

"Mr. Xu, you understand me better than anyone else in the world; can you do all the things my male best friend asked for? If you can, I think we can try dating."

Xu Lang glanced at his phone; five minutes left!

I racked my brains to come up with another explanation:

"I have a house and a car, and a bride price of 588,000 yuan is no problem. Do you have any other requirements?"

Liang Xiuhua thought for a moment: "I travel twice a year with my male best friend, once during the National Day holiday and once during the summer vacation; as your boyfriend and future husband, you should reimburse me for the travel expenses, is that alright?"

"Great, that's fantastic!" Xu Lang waved his hand dismissively, giving the impression that he regarded money as dirt.

"Round-trip airfare, attraction tickets, taxi fare, and oh right, hotel room fees, that's the most important thing. I think a themed hotel with a double bed, bathtub, and projector would be best, it's more atmospheric. I'll cover all of that for you."

"Really? That's wonderful!" Liang Xiuhua's eyes practically sparkled with excitement as she grabbed her male best friend's hand.

The male best friend seemed to have lost his earlier distress upon hearing this, and instead showed a faint smile:

"Brother, I didn't expect you to be so sensible. Don't worry, when we go to bars or travel, I'll take very good care of your girlfriend. I definitely won't let her carry any heavy things."

"We'll bring you gifts when we come back."

Xu Lang turned on his phone screen again.

Last minute!

The hunt is about to begin!

His eyes held a hint of curiosity as he asked:

"Ms. Liang, I'd like to ask, how did you two meet? And how did you become best friends?"

"We met through a friend of a friend, and we just went out together." Liang Xiuhua didn't seem that excited.

"We hit it off pretty well, so we exchanged contact information and started hanging out together quite often."

"Oh—I see!" Xu Lang nodded, as if suddenly enlightened.

"Um, may I ask—"

His eyes darted between the two of them, while his peripheral vision kept a close eye on the time on his phone. The last few seconds were agonizing!

Even when speaking, one has to use the ending tone to buy time—
