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

"go home!"

Xu Lang's movements were incredibly smooth and fluid; he didn't utter a single unnecessary word.

Last time, I managed to break this "returned overseas student's" defenses. If we meet again this time, won't he just explode on the spot?

What's more, the other side now has Zhang Yuejiao as a boxer to help them. If the two of them join forces, I'm afraid I'll have to demonstrate on the spot that two fists can't beat four hands.

If you can take action, don't talk; if you can run away, don't linger in battle.

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best!

"No, Xu Lang, what do you mean... Hey, what do you mean?" Zhang Yuejiao was completely bewildered.

I kindly introduced you to someone, but when the person arrived, you wanted to leave.

However, judging from Xu Lang's flustered state, there must be something fishy going on between the two of them—suddenly, a shocking thought flashed through his mind: could it be that they had been on a blind date before?

Xu Lang had already left his seat and walked quickly to the entrance of the coffee shop, where he met the female international student.

They saw each other, and their eyes met in that instant.

Ms. Huang, the female international student, gaped in astonishment, her pupils dilating in shock: Hangzhou is such a big city, how come it's like a leech that I can't shake off?

But while he was shocked, his eyes were blazing with anger, and he gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear this person to pieces.

But she held back, because the other person pretended not to know her, and she pretended not to know the other person either.

After all, her boss said he would introduce her to some guys today, and he was looking at her closely, so she couldn't afford to be disrespectful.

We brushed past each other!

Neither of them greeted the other, as if they were complete strangers.

Wearing high heels, she approached Zhang Yuejiao, revealing a slightly exaggerated smile:

"Manager Zhang, I'm here!"

"Uh...ah?" Zhang Yuejiao's gaze shifted from Xu Lang, who was about to disappear, to the heavily made-up girl in front of her:

"Huang Jiayao, come, sit down!"

She sat down, glanced around, and said:

"Manager Huang, where's the guy? Wasn't he supposed to be with you?"

Her gaze drifted towards the direction of the bathroom.

Zhang Yuejiao pointed to the doorway, but her gaze was fixed on her face:

"The guy who brushed past you at the door just now was the guy you were supposed to go on a blind date with."

"Huh?" Huang Jiayao was taken aback.

The scene from just now flashed through my mind, followed by the image of the two of them on their blind date.

Anger suddenly surged!

Seeing her change in expression, Zhang Yuejiao was secretly overjoyed, knowing she had guessed correctly:

"Oh, judging from this reaction... you two know each other?"

"I...don't know...no, no, I don't know him!" Huang Jiayao waved her hands repeatedly, clearly flustered.

"It's obvious we're not from the same social circle, how could we possibly know each other!"

Zhang Yuejiao didn't argue with him about this issue, but asked calmly:

How do you feel about him?

"He doesn't respect women... um..." Huang Jiayao blurted out, then suddenly realized something and quickly corrected herself:

"We bumped into each other at the door just now, and he actually looked at my chest! That kind of person is so sleazy, he has absolutely no gentlemanly manners!"

That was close! That was a shrewd attempt to save face; I deserve full marks!

To keep this job and maintain a "perfect image" in front of the boss, what's a little grievance? It's just a trivial matter that can be made up on the spot.

"Manager Zhang, who was that just now...?"

"What would you like to drink? It's on me!" Zhang Yuejiao casually changed the subject.

She now wants to go back as soon as possible and interrogate Xu Lang and Huang Jiayao about their story, hoping to find a reason to threaten him into going home with her for the Lunar New Year.

……

Back downstairs at the rented apartment!

Xu Lang didn't rush upstairs. Instead, he went to his landlady, Sister Wang's, place. Seeing that the door was closed, he called Sister Wang.

"Hey, Xu Lang, what do you want... bra? I touched it..."

On the other end of the phone, Sister Wang's voice was deafening, with the background noise consisting entirely of the clattering of mahjong tiles.

Xu Lang mainly wanted to confirm whether Sister Wang was safe. The fact that she was playing mahjong meant she was alright.

"I'm fine, Sister Wang, you can go ahead and have fun!"

Another voice came from Sister Wang's side:

"Xu Lang, um... the car keys are by the front door in the living room. I'll send you the password, you can go in and get them yourself... I won! I got a triple kong! Hahaha!"

She thought Xu Lang wanted to borrow the car.

I promised him last night that I would drive for him for a few days.

Xu Lang could hear Sister Wang's happy laughter, completely oblivious to the fact that she had just been beaten yesterday, as if nothing had happened.

Sister Wang is truly strong-willed!

A message from Sister Wang popped up on my phone; it contained six digits.

It's the password for the front door.

Xu Lang only replied that he had received the message, but did not open the door and go in. Instead, he turned back and went upstairs.

Back to the rented room!

Wang Jie's daughter, Su Liqiu, then sent a message:

[Xu Lang, you went on a blind date with my sister and brought a female friend? My mom said you graduated from Nanjing University, and I seriously doubt your degree is genuine.]

Xu Lang was delighted when he saw the news!

Liang Xiuhua must only say things that are in her favor, and she doesn't mention a word about her male best friend, right?

Su Liqiu truly lives up to her reputation as a highly educated person; she can even curse without using any vulgar language.

Ms. Su, did your classmate tell you that she brought a male best friend with her?

Su Liqiu replied instantly: [Male best friend? She brought him?]

Xu Lang replied: [So you knew she had a male best friend...]

He didn't hold back and told everyone the whole story, though he used a little embellishment to make it more effective.

After hearing this, Su Liqiu fell silent.

I guess he's having intensive communication with his classmate Liang Xiuhua over there.

Xu Lang tossed his phone onto the bedside table and went to take a shower.

Thinking about how to find the next blind date, and pocketing the 100,000 yuan reward from the system.

I came back after taking a shower.

I started using my network of friends, but after some communication, I ended up with nothing.

Some people were unwilling to believe he had paid off his debts and refused to introduce him to potential partners; others were willing to introduce him, but the women required him to own a house and a car, neither of which Xu Lang possessed.

Naturally, far fewer of them meet the requirements.

"If all else fails, we'll go to a matchmaking agency tomorrow!"

My landlady, Sister Wang, said there was a couple who didn't want a dowry, but she was playing mahjong and I couldn't ask.

Only alternatives are available for now!

There was a knock on the door, and someone called out:

"Sister Yue?"

Zhang Yuejiao's voice came through, carrying a commanding tone:

"Xu Lang, come out, let's talk!"

Xu Lang rolled over: "Sister Yue, it's getting late, I'm going to bed. We can talk about it another day!"

bang bang bang...

The door was pounded on, making a loud banging sound.

"Xu Lang, come out now; or you won't be sleeping tonight."

"Damn, is this woman crazy?" Xu Lang couldn't help but curse, reluctantly getting up.

Wearing pajama bottoms and shirtless, he opened the door, looking impatient, and said:

"Sister Yue, I'm just your roommate, not your boyfriend; please watch your tone. If you keep this up, I'll report you for disturbing the peace."

After saying that, he tried to close the door!

But Zhang Yuejiao quickly reached out, grabbed the door frame, and stared at him:

"Xu Lang, I have something to tell you!"

Xu Lang was speechless: "Spit it out already, it's getting late, I have to get up early to work tomorrow!"

Zhang Yuejiao turned her head to look at the sofa, but Xu Lang remained unmoved and wouldn't go; she could only speak here:

"Do you know Huang Jiayao? Why did you run away when you saw her?"

Xu Lang said, "Isn't she your colleague? Ask her yourself; is there anything else?"

"I knew it! What happened between you two?" Zhang Yuejiao asked with a gossipy and confident look.

"Blind dates? You've been on blind dates?"

Xu Lang grabbed his hand, pried it off, and slammed the door shut, refusing Zhang Yuejiao entry.

But she wasn't angry; instead, she was a little excited.

"Xu Lang, I really didn't expect you to go on a blind date with her, considering the huge gap between your circumstances."

"Don't be discouraged by the rejection. They've studied abroad, and besides, your qualifications... are really quite average!"
