Lin Subai looked coldly at the two people who were chatting animatedly, with a hint of annoyance appearing between his brows.

He holds a cautious and respectful attitude towards Feng Shui and fortune-telling, a very ancient discipline in China.

He is a businessman. All businessmen in this circle hold the principle of preferring to make a mistake rather than ignore it.

But he had never thought that marriage could be decided by fortune-telling.

I really feel helpless about my mother's absurd idea.

Lin Subai rubbed his brows as he looked at the people who were chatting without any sense of time.

He turned around and whispered to the secretary who was accompanying him: "You will preside over the meeting, and summarize the relevant content for me later."

"Okay, President."

"It's hot here, let's have a video conference in the car."

The secretary nodded in greeting and left with her laptop and work documents.

Liu Mengsheng glanced at Lin Subai and said sarcastically: "I knew it would be like this. But you still have to work so hard. You don't feel tired at all."

Lin Subai looked at Liu Mengsheng expressionlessly, raised his wrist to check his watch, and said coldly:

"Mom, you've already delayed me for ten minutes today, and I still have half an hour to waste."

When Liu Mengsheng heard this, he smacked his lips and said impatiently, "I know."

Lin Subai and Liu Mengsheng have forty minutes of mother-son communication time every day.

During this period of time, Lin Subai must be able to tolerate Liu Mengsheng's unreasonable demands, which is why Lin Subai compromised and stood here.

"Girl, be careful." A slightly plump lady in her sixties dragged Yu Xi to the middle of the road and reminded her:

"Why don't you be careful, girl? Even though it's summer, the water in the lake is deep and cold. If you fall in, you will definitely get sick."

Yu Xi stood up straight in shock and stammered, "Thank you, thank you, Auntie."

Thinking about how he was distracted and walked to the lake without paying attention, his expression became gloomy.

"Auntie, if you hadn't held me back just now, no one would have known that I had fallen into the lake and got into trouble. Thank you so much, Auntie.

By the way, Auntie, which direction are you going? I will give you a ride."

Yu Xi thought about going to buy some gifts to thank this kind aunt for saving her life.

The aunt said repeatedly: "No need, girl, I'm just lending a hand. Others will also lend a hand if they encounter this situation.

But my girl, you still need to look carefully at the road when you walk, otherwise it’s easy to get into trouble.”

Yu Xi knew very well that she had met a kind-hearted auntie, and as the auntie said, other people would also lend a hand if they encountered the same situation, but she was skeptical.

Some of the moral consciences that are ubiquitous in this society are gradually disappearing, and it is more of a balance between gains and losses.

Yu Xi asked: "Auntie, is it convenient for me to get to know you?"

The enthusiastic aunt waved her hand, with a bit of wariness towards strangers: "No need, girl."

After saying that, he left quickly without paying any more attention to Yu Xi.

Yu Xi looked at the enthusiastic aunt's back as she left, feeling a little desolate. She didn't expect the aunt to be so wary. She could only sigh helplessly.

Watching the enthusiastic aunt leave, Yu Xi felt a little uneasy. She had helped people before, but the consequences were unbearable for her.

Yu Xi was distracted just now because he saw the figure he had been thinking about day and night nearby.

Yu Xi hasn't had a skillful communication with anyone for a long time.

Meeting this enthusiastic yet cautious aunt today disrupted her communication rhythm. Perhaps it was because she was more tired in her heart that she was unable to let go of her feelings.

Willows drooped, lotus fragrance filled the air, dragonflies fluttered lightly on the water. Sister Liu, along with Liu Mengsheng, Sister Lin, and Lin Subai, walked quickly toward the center of Lianhu Park.

Before reaching the viewing platform in the center of Lianhu Park, you can hear the vigorous, broad and charming Beijing dialect, accompanied by the melodious and rhythmic sounds of the erhu, which gives people a unique interest in the hot summer.

It also made Lin Subai, who was feeling uncomfortable due to the hot weather, feel a little relieved.

When Sister Liu heard this, she clapped her hands and exclaimed excitedly: "This is Teacher Zhou opening her voice. It's rare to see her. Sister Liu, Sister Lin, young man, you are blessed today.

Since his retirement, Teacher Zhou has basically stopped performing on stage. It is very difficult to get a ticket to Teacher Zhou's teahouse.

Only sometimes, Teacher Zhou would come to Lianhu Park to sing a few songs. The charm and tone of her songs were really memorable and I could never get enough of them. "

Liu Mengsheng doesn't have much exposure to Peking Opera on a daily basis, and he can't understand what it is when watching it on TV. He just thinks it's just melodrama and can't appreciate this art form. The only thing he thinks is good is the face changing and facial painting in Peking Opera.

So Sister Liu didn't feel anything about the happy thing of meeting Teacher Zhou to warm up her voice.

Although Liu Mengsheng could not empathize with the teacher, his emotional intelligence did not drop. He also agreed and asked Sister Liu to introduce more Peking operas sung by Teacher Zhou.

As Lin Subai listened to Sister Liu's introduction to Peking Opera and the melodious tunes he heard, a girl with round eyes, hanging on his arm and acting coquettishly, flashed before his eyes.

"Lin Subai, please sing a part for me."

A headache came over him, and Lin Subai held his head with both hands, feeling an uncontrollable pain in his heart.

Sister Lin was right next to Lin Subai and was the first to notice that something was wrong with him. She asked with concern:

"Master, you look pale, are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Subai recalled carefully, but only had this vague memory, and could not remember anything else.

The girl herself had seen it before.

Sister Liu's conversation with Liu Mengsheng also came to an abrupt halt. She turned around and asked worriedly, "Son, did you get a heat stroke?"

As he spoke, he reached out his hand for Lin Subai's forehead, but before he touched Lin Subai's body, he had already moved away.

He replied with a pale face: "I'm fine, sorry to have made you worried."

His son's body subconsciously avoided him, which made Liu Mengsheng feel a little disappointed.

But looking at my son's pale face, I couldn't bear to blame him, and I have been used to it over the years.

She sometimes wondered if she and her husband had grown up with their son at that time, would he not be so distant? Her husband might have been drawn to his family and would not have chosen to cheat.

"Don't be so stubborn. You suddenly turned pale. Do you think you're okay?"

"It's just that I suddenly thought of the uncomfortable scenes on TV, so I didn't react quickly."

Lin Subai swallowed the complex emotions that surged in his heart and replied simply.

Liu Mengsheng looked at Lin Subai steadily, knowing that his son had a stubborn temper. If he didn't want to talk about something, no matter how much he asked, it would be useless. He could only helplessly say:

"Since you feel fine, let's continue on."

Lin Subai raised his wrist and looked at it, then reminded again: "You still have thirteen minutes."

When Liu Mengsheng heard this, he rolled his eyes to the sky, turned around and took Sister Liu and Sister Lin and strode towards the observation deck.

After passing through the green wall of shaded trees and turning around the rockery, I saw Teacher Zhou taking a step and turning around, singing "The Empty City Strategy".

Not far from Teacher Zhou, there were a few old men and women playing various musical instruments and singing.

They all gathered on one side of the stone table on the observation deck. Three or five steps away from these old men and women, there was a lush and flourishing yellow locust tree.

If you look closely, you will see that it says that this yellow poplar tree is more than 500 years old.

The new leaves on the branches are replaced by old leaves, the trunk is thick and strong, and the brown roots are like pythons, firmly grasping the cobblestone ground.

In the cracks of the cobblestone ground where the roots are grasped, there are several divination sticks for looking at Yin and Yang, Feng Shui, and calculating the eight trigrams and marriage.

Sister Liu listened to Teacher Zhou singing the Empty City Strategy with great interest, and with a look of aftertaste on her face, she pulled Liu Mengsheng and said:

"Sister Liu, look, the one standing there in the yellow Tang suit is the blind half-immortal."

Before Sister Liu introduced it, Lin Subai had already seen the sign of Blind Banxian.

The blind half-immortal had a sturdy figure, wore thick-framed round sunglasses, and a yellow Tang suit, with a large, simple folding fan pinned to his waist, which added a bit of unrestrained look to him.

Before Sister Liu even got to the Blind Immortal, she had already called out to him loudly. As she watched him clean up the table, she asked in confusion:

"Old blind man, what are you doing? Why are you packing up so early?"

The blind immortal replied: "If you didn't come, I would have called you.

There was an emergency at home just now, and my relatives saw blood today. It is taboo to tell fortunes by words, so this donor and I, the blind half-immortal, have no fate to tell fortunes. Let them go home."

Liu Mengsheng got angry when she heard this. She had finally arranged a time and brought her son over. Now that she was at the place, this happened. Wasn't this making her whole trip in vain?

She didn't have a job and had plenty of time to kill, so it wasn't a big deal for her to bring her son, who didn't like her in the first place, here under the scorching sun.

She was unwilling to be sent away with just one sentence.

But she couldn't get involved with the blind immortal. After all, she was in business and had been greatly affected by the sorcerers, so she tried not to offend them if possible.

She said to the blind half-immortal in a friendly manner: "Grandpa, you see, we are here to follow your rules. It is not easy to come here. It is because my son is repulsive to the opposite sex, and as a mother, I have tried all kinds of methods but failed, so I came to Sister Liu for help."

The blind half-immortal packed up the folding table and bench, which were about the same size as a schoolbag and easy to carry.

Holding the weapon in his hand, Dian replied: "Big sister, our business is all about taboos and rules.

When you came here today, blood was shed in my house. In terms of martial arts, this is considered a collision with evil spirits. If it were not so, I would have made an enemy of you."

He also shouted to Sister Liu: "Big Sister Liu, please tell us the rules of our business, so that I, the blind half-immortal, won't ruin my reputation."

The blind half-immortal gave instructions to Sister Liu, and asked her to put the folding table and bench on the left. He picked up the black-glazed cane that was inserted in the crevice of the stone with his right hand, and explored the way step by step.

Although his vigorous body was a little hunched, every part of his body revealed his semi-immortal demeanor.

He walked slowly past Sister Lin. Suddenly, he stopped and glanced at his watch not far away. Lin Subai, who was about to get up and leave, still reminded her:

"Although the young man is very noble, his marriage path is bumpy. It is not yet time for you to ask a blind man like me to tell your fortune."

After saying this, he walked away gracefully with his crutches, without waiting for Lin Subai to respond.

Lin Subai looked at the blind immortal's departing back, thinking he was just a sorcerer pretending to be a magical dragon or ghost.

Thinking that the other party was a white-haired old man, he couldn't be too petty and care too much. He could only remind Liu Mengsheng who was still struggling with Sister Liu:

"Mom, the fortune teller you asked me to see has left, and the time you agreed with me has also been used up. I still have things to do, so I'm leaving first. You and Sister Lin drive back by yourselves. Be careful."

He turned around and walked away. When Liu Mengsheng heard this, he shouted:

"I've arranged a blind date for you tomorrow morning. I'll send the time and address to your phone. If you dare to stand up your blind date again, I'll invest in a blind date show and select a talent show for you. Don't blame your mom for being mean then."

Lin Subai, who was walking away, was startled when he heard his mother's threat. He never doubted his mother's tricks of forcing him to get married.

He rubbed his forehead with a headache. If he wanted to escape his mother's endless means of forcing him to get married, he was afraid that the only way to solve the problem was to get married early.
