weird fairy tale town

In mid-September, the weather was hot and dry, but the air-conditioning in the coffee shop was strong enough to make people feel at ease wearing a suit jacket.

However, neither the scorching sun outside the window nor the refreshing air-conditioning in the store can relieve Bai Zhe's anxiety at this moment.

At this moment, as an innocent 25-year-old office worker, Bai Zhe is facing a situation that many people of the same age will face-blind date.

But unlike most people, the guy he was facing was the same as him - a male.

The man who just opened the door and strode into the coffee shop is more than 1.8 meters tall by visual inspection. His healthy wheat-colored skin makes him more attractive to a mature man. Although he is wearing casual clothes, his back is straight and long. The trousers outline the long, thin and powerful legs.

And his appearance is even more resolute and handsome, almost instantly attracting the attention of all the girls present.

But for some reason, with just one glance, Bai Zhe almost subconsciously judged that this is his blind date partner today.

Tsk, this guy is so handsome, but he actually replaced a round inch...

Bai Zhe narrowed his eyes, it seemed that he was not an easy guy to deal with.

Wait, did you think he was handsome just now?

……

A month ago, Bai Zhe came out to the family because his mother was overwhelmed by the increasing concern about his relationship situation.

I thought there would be a bloodbath, but I didn't expect that the parents were just a little surprised, and then accepted it too calmly.

Bai Zhe was somewhat puzzled, but since he was relieved at this embarrassing moment, he didn't want to go too far into the reasons for his parents' compromise and acceptance.

After crossing this threshold, Bai Zhe originally thought that life would be peaceful for a long time... But what he never expected was that after learning of his true nature, his mother did not choose to give up, but began to worry about her. He found a brand new - male blind date.

After pushing three times, Bai Zhe couldn't bear to look at his mother's disappointed face, and finally reluctantly agreed to go to the appointment at least once, and then he got the time and place that his mother had set for him, as well as a photo of a certain man.

It is undeniable that even though Bai Zhe always felt that he was a person with a calm heart, he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat the moment he saw the photo.

Without him, the essence of human beings is Yangou. The man in the photo is really handsome, and he should be the type that can be eaten by all ages.

……

But at the moment, the man's sharp gaze scanned the entire coffee shop, and immediately locked on to Bai Zhe, with a slight hook on his lips, he walked over with big strides.

He pulled back the chair opposite Bai Zhe by a precise distance, crossed his long legs, and sat on it.

The long legs that had no place to rest stretched forward, and the toe of the sneakers just touched Bai Zhe's leather shoes.

All of this seems to be unintentional, and it seems to be intentional, but the man just grinned and raised a bright smile comparable to the sunshine outside the window: "Sorry, I'm late."

Even during this supposedly relaxing afternoon tea time, even though he seemed to be slumping on a chair lazily, Bai Zhe always felt that the man was exuding a dangerous aura all the time, just like a beast dormant in the grass .

And myself... as the prey of being "targeted", I always feel a little uncomfortable, but it seems that some kind of violent factor in his blood has been aroused, so he can't help but want to compare himself with this man Compete.

It's been a long time since I felt this hot blood, but... Bai Zhe shrugged and relaxed again.

After all, he is also a mature "community animal".

So facing his first blind date—a man, Bai Zhe still relaxed his posture. He loosened his neckline, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm Bai Zhe. I arrived so I ordered two glasses of Americano, is that okay?"

The man on the opposite side raised the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand to him, and announced his name: "Qi Lin."

Hearing this name, the corners of Bai Zhe's mouth couldn't help curling up a little.

Originally, he had never been on a blind date before, and he didn't know how to open up the topic better. This name seemed to be a word that came to his lips, so Bai Zhe stood up and shook hands with him naturally, and then continued: " The surname Qi is very special, but the name is Qi Lin... Haha, it seems that your parents have high hopes for you."

The man's sharp eyes kept staring at Bai Zhe, as if he was looking for whether he really thought so.

Moreover, he held Bai Zhe's hand very tightly, and the strength obviously exceeded the normal range.

It wasn't until Bai Zhe frowned slightly that Qi Lin let go of his hand, and continued as if nothing had happened: "Then, we are destined, since your name is 'Bai Ze', aren't you also a divine beast?" ?"

Bai Zhe was often made such a joke by others, but he was not angry. He just smiled and said, "No, my name is Bai Zhe because I am a reasonable person."

Qi Lin raised his eyebrows and helped him complete, "So you are a person whose reason is greater than emotion?"

For some reason, a somewhat blurred picture jumped in Bai Zhe's mind.

However, this situation has often occurred in the past two years. Bai Zhe only regarded it as the sequelae of that incident, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and just continued to focus on the confrontation with the man in front of him.

Although it was strange that he would ask such a sharp and direct question at the beginning of the first meeting, Bai Zhe still nodded, "Yes." He has always judged himself like this.

Qi Lin smiled again, changed to a more relaxed posture, looked at Bai Zhe with great interest and said, "Then, if your mother and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?"

Bai Zhe: "..."

Bai Zhe admitted that he was really choked this time. Although it was heard that some girls who had been in love for a long time would ask such questions to their boyfriends, he never thought that he would be asked this kind of death question.

——And it was asked by a male blind date who had just met for less than 5 minutes.

Bai Zhe couldn't help but take another good look at the man across from him.

The skeleton is broad, and the thin muscles are firmly attached to it. The wheat-colored skin looks like it has been exposed to wind and rain, and it seems to be a trainer.

He should be taller than him, as well as his physique... He still has a clean, round-inch hairstyle—no matter how you look at it, he won't be a "little bird" who needs to be rescued.

As if seeing Bai Zhe's suspicion, Qi Lin smiled again, touched his nose, and seemed to feel a little embarrassed, "This question may not be appropriate, I mean... well, if there is One day you are on a mission with your teammates, if you save him, you may die, but if you abandon him, you can keep yourself alive, will you save him?"

If he was still asking the last question jokingly, then when he asked this question, he spoke very slowly, and kept looking directly into Bai Zhe's eyes, as if he wanted to ask it into his heart.

For some reason, a sense of suffocation suddenly flooded Bai Zhe's heart.

But he still suppressed the inexplicable strange feeling in his chest, looked seriously into Qi Lin's eyes and said, "I will."

"really?"

"must."

Qi Lin suddenly laughed, as if with a sense of relief, as if he let go of all his defenses and hostility towards Bai Zhe in an instant, at least, the feeling of "being targeted" disappeared.

"I know, thank you." Qi Lin lowered his eyelids, and felt secretly happy for a while.

It was only then that Bai Zhe discovered that there was a small dimple on the right side of his cheek, but not on the left side.

This discovery seemed to make Qi Lin look a little cute... Although he didn't understand what Qi Lin was happy about.

Could this be the latest dating match test question?

Before Bai Zhe could figure it out, Qi Lin took another step forward, took out a small black box from his pocket, and pushed it from the table in front of Bai Zhe, "We had a good chat today, and I have a small gift For you, I have a special job, so I may have to take a step first before contacting you."

Although he said he wanted to leave, he didn't get up immediately, his eyes were still fixed on Bai Zhe.

Bai Zhe subconsciously glanced at the clock in the coffee shop, and found that it had only been three minutes and 27 seconds since he came in and said he was going to leave, and there was no sign of the two cups of coffee, so he couldn't help feeling baffled.

If the meeting is only for three or four minutes of conversation, it is better to make a video call, why bother to make a special trip?

But seeing the man still staring at him persistently, Bai Zhe still asked politely: "Mind if I open it now?"

Qi Lin shrugged, "Please do yourself."

But his eyes were fixed, clearly saying "Open it now, in front of me, immediately".

Bai Zhe then opened the exquisitely crafted small box, and saw a well-crafted and very beautiful piece inside - a lighter.

Immediately feeling a little speechless, Bai Zhe raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to Qi Lin, "Thank you, she's very beautiful...but I don't smoke."

Strangely, when his mother pestered him to ask about the conditions for marriage, he specifically emphasized this point to his mother.

Bai Zhe himself dislikes tobacco very much, so he doesn't want his significant other to have this hobby.

Mother has always been a careful person, how could she make a mistake in such a trivial matter?

Unexpectedly, Qi Lin said: "I know, I don't smoke, but this must be given to you, you take it."

Bai Zhe frowned slightly, this behavior was a bit strange...

But Qi Lin didn't want to explain. He seemed to be sure that Bai Zhe had received the gift, so he stood up and showed Bai Zhe the same bright smile as before, "Ignite it when I'm alone at night—maybe there will be something unexpected surprise."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hands smartly, came and went, and left the coffee shop in a hurry.

Bai Zhe kept following his back until his figure merged into the crowd and quickly disappeared, then he turned his gaze back to the lighter.

Tsk, why does it always feel weird.

Obviously everyone had already left, but the feeling of being watched came again.

Bai Zhe frowned, stood up as well, and was about to leave the coffee shop directly, but he couldn't help but look back at the lighter on the table after taking two steps.

It was as if something was attracting him, urging him—go, take it.

Bai Zhe pursed his lips, finally put the lighter into his pocket, and started to leave.

It happened that the coffee was ready, and the waiter brought it over, but saw that he was about to leave, and asked in surprise, "Sir... your coffee?"

Bai Zhe waved his hand, looked around the coffee shop casually, and pointed to a table, "Take the two ladies to drink, thank you."

After speaking, he didn't look back and left the coffee shop directly.

This feeling is too strange, as if something uncontrollable is about to happen.

He doesn't like this feeling.
