Fake it on a dating show

During the rare holiday, Zhao Minglang was woken up by a phone call.

For her personal calls, apart from friends and parents, only her parents would call, after all, it would not be a matter of work.She closed her eyes and groped on the bedside table. When she reached the phone with her fingertips, she pressed the call button by feeling.

"Hello?" The voice was low and hoarse, with a nasal sound that hadn't woken up.

"Is Xiao Lang still sleeping?" Zhao Minglang's mother's voice came from the opposite side, "I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Zhou, but if I have something to think about, I'll call you."

I said sorry, but I didn't hear any apology at all.

"En." Zhao Minglang didn't even open his eyes, and he made a perfunctory sound, hoping that his mother could finish speaking and let her go earlier.

"Are you busy with work recently?"

"good."

"Then it's okay to come back sometime next week?"

"should."

"That's just right. There is someone who wants to meet you. I think the young man is very polite and has a good family background. If it doesn't work, just treat it as a friend and come out for dinner the night after tomorrow."

"Hmm..." Zhao Minglang answered halfway casually, then suddenly came to his senses and sat up from the bed abruptly, "Huh? What did you say?"

However, the person opposite seemed to have not heard her question at all: "Then it's settled like this, and I will contact you when the time comes."

After speaking, he happily hung up the phone.

Zhao Minglang froze where he was while clutching the phone.

Was put together.

Zhao Minglang rubbed the center of his brows, feeling a little headache.

Compared with her peers in the same family, her parents are very enlightened. Since she was a child, no matter what she wants to study, what major she applies for, or what job she does, they never interfere with her too much, but being a parent is inevitable. worldly concerns.

For example, to find a partner.

Zhao Minglang has always been reluctant to get too close to others because of that little problem that he can't talk about. He doesn't even have many friends, let alone fall in love.

In the past, her parents didn't care about her, but once she was 25 years old, besides work, the most important thing to think about every day was how to trick her into going on a blind date.

Because of Lin Xingyue's appearance, Zhao Minglang almost forgot about this episode.

Zhao Minglang tried to call back to ask them to refuse, but no one answered.

She then received a text message with her name and address.

——Cheng Yichen.

I always feel like I've seen this name somewhere.

When she opened the door and went downstairs, Lin Xingyue was feeding the dog downstairs.

The puppy grows up very fast, has grown a lot in half a month, and is much more lively than before. Sooner or later, he would grab the door and want to go wild.

Sometimes Zhao Minglang got up early and would accompany Lin Xingyue to walk the dog.

But most of the time, Lin Xingyue is still taking care of it.

When Zhao Minglang walked to the back of the kitchen to pour water, he saw a breakfast left on the dining table, which was bought by Lin Xingyue downstairs.

"Xingyue." Zhao Minglang leaned against the kitchen counter with a cup in his hand, looking at Lin Xingyue.

"Hmm." Lin Xingyue turned her head when she heard the words, "What's wrong?"

"The day after tomorrow...do you have something to do the night after tomorrow?" Zhao Minglang asked.

"It should be fine."

"Then accompany me to have a meal." Zhao Minglang said, "It's a little troublesome, maybe I need your help."

"If I can help, sure. But can I ask what it is?"

Zhao Minglang hesitated for a moment, and replied truthfully: "Take care of the blind date."

"Is that the same as in the previous show?" Lin Xingyue nodded, "No problem, just tell me what to do."

Zhao Minglang regretted it inexplicably.

Maybe she shouldn't have said that at all.

She didn't think so until much later.

But the words had already been spoken, and it would be even more inexplicable to take them back, so Zhao Minglang gave an "um" and said, "Thank you."

"It's okay, just take it as a reward." Lin Xingyue rubbed the puppy's head intermittently, and said, "Mr. Zhao also helped me a lot, and this small thing should be done."

"Call me Minglang." Zhao Minglang explained after a pause, "Mr. Zhao's name is too natural, and it's not good to call me a leak."

Better not explain.

Zhao Minglang sighed secretly in his heart, and said again: "If you are not used to it, you can also call me sister."

Lin Xingyue corrected her title in a timely manner: "Sister Minglang."

Zhao Minglang picked up the teacup in a concealed manner, and said "Mmm".

Lin Xingyue was grateful to Zhao Minglang, and naturally wanted to help her within her ability.

But how many other feelings are hidden in this gratitude is hard to say.

Lin Xingyue looked innocent, but after real contact with her, she realized that she was very guarded—not because she suspected others, but because she didn't want to show her own vulnerability.

This is also understandable, because she doesn't want to trouble others.

It was this point that Zhao Minglang found very difficult.

Since returning from the amusement park, Lin Xingyue has relaxed a lot when getting along with her. Just when Zhao Minglang thought he could go further with the flow, the other party slowly retreated behind the safety line.

The feeling of being close at hand, can't be grasped or touched.

It also made people even more afraid to step forward easily.

So they're back in this delicate balance.

On Tuesday afternoon, Zhao Minglang finished work early.

But it was not to meet the blind date, but to call Lin Xingyue out first.

The assistant inadvertently mentioned that there was an event on an ancient street in the west of the city. It was once a year, and many families went back to play at this time. Take her to the ancient street for a walk.

Just a whim.

The street was full of people, and there were shops on both sides. Except for the lights on the ancient city wall in the distance, there was nothing particularly interesting to see.

Just holding the mentality that it's okay to come and see, Zhao Minglang and Lin Xingyue squeezed into the crowd together.

Soon they all regretted it a little, the crowd almost squeezed into a sardine can.As soon as Lin Xingyue turned her head, the people around her disappeared.

"Sister Minglang?" Lin Xingyue called out in a panic.

The crowd made her flustered. She was not afraid to communicate with people, but she was only afraid of being suddenly thrown away and left aside.

The more people around her, the more she felt insignificant, as if a grain of dust would sink into the sea of ​​sand at any time, never to be seen again.

Reason tells her that she should go to a place with few people first, but the reality is that her mind is blank and she can only follow the flow of people mechanically.

"Xingyue."

A hand reached out from behind and grabbed Lin Xingyue's wrist.

Zhao Minglang dragged her out of the crowd, and the two huddled together at the entrance of a narrow alley, taking a breath for a while.

Lin Xingyue stared at her blankly, her heart beating thumpingly.

Even though she was in a dark corner, she felt that there was light on Zhao Minglang.

"I almost couldn't see you. Next time, don't just follow others and run away." Zhao Minglang was a little helpless, moved his hand holding Lin Xingyue's wrist down a little, and clasped her palm, "Grab it , don’t get lost again.”

They pushed back into the crowd.

This time Zhao Minglang pulled Lin Xingyue to the side. She walked on the outside, blocking the crowd. They held hands and walked slowly towards the end of the street.

Lin Xingyue's phrase "Should we go back" was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say it all the way.

She felt a little hot in her palms and sweated a little, and she also began to feel that this boring and congested street was not so boring.

When they reached the end, they saw a firework display behind the city walls.

The crowd stopped and raised their heads, and the noise covered all the whispers in their ears.

Lin Xingyue raised her head to look at the sky, the lens was reflecting brilliant light, she quietly clenched her hands a little.

Zhao Minglang didn't watch the fireworks, but looked at Lin Xingyue's profile.

She thought Lin Xingyue looked better than that fireworks.

But the peaceful time is always short, and they walked back at the agreed dinner time.

Facing the night wind and walking to the side of the secluded road, Lin Xingyue was still a little excited, and the faint blush on her face hadn't dissipated.

"Do you like it here?" Zhao Minglang tried to say something, "I will bring you here next time when there are fewer people."

"Yeah." Lin Xingyue patted her face and gradually calmed down, "Let's help you deal with that blind date first today."

Again.

It's like a glass of hot wine that turns into a piece of ice in a blink of an eye.

The warm atmosphere was separated into two empty glass walls in an instant.

Zhao Minglang frowned, wanting to say something, but a high-end restaurant in front of them was their destination.

"It should be here." Lin Xingyue looked up at the signboard, and took two steps to the side, "I'll wait for you here, if you need me, please give me a sign or send a message."

They discussed it in advance and asked Lin Xingyue to pretend to pass by.

If you take it directly, it's a bit like deliberately smashing the scene.

Although pretending to have a girlfriend doesn't seem to be any better.

The man who met Zhao Minglang was about the same age as her, he looked upright, with a gentle temperament, and seemed like a talkative person.

This made Zhao Minglang heave a sigh of relief.

For a while, her parents were so hungry that they would ask out the middle-aged boss with a potbellied belly, not to mention it, and after clearly saying it was inappropriate, they kept pestering her again and again, as if they couldn't listen to others at all.

Even her parents had lingering fears about this, and they didn't dare to mention the blind date for a while, and now it seems that they have finally learned a lesson.

Of course, it would be better if you completely give up blind dates.

It's not that Zhao Minglang didn't try to say that he has someone he likes, but every time he gets the same answer.

"Then you brought him back."

With Zhao Minglang's character, it is absolutely impossible to act with someone he doesn't like in order to deceive his parents.

So it always ended with Zhao Minglang surrendering.

According to Mrs. Zhao, the blind date this time came to her on her own initiative.

I don't know where I met Zhao Minglang, and after a lot of twists and turns, the other party contacted Zhao Minglang's parents at an event and expressed their desire to see their daughter.

Mrs. Zhao agreed without saying a word.

"Of course, he is very good, and he is a good match with you. He is still an alumnus, and we will have something to talk about in the future."

The Zhao family's parents knew a certain amount about this blind date, and they did not exclude him from "making friends" with their daughter.

But Zhao Minglang was not so happy.

Fortunately, the other party was also polite to me when they met, and they were not in a hurry to talk about emotional topics, but they got a general understanding of each other's situation.

"Speaking of which, we have met before." The man named Cheng Yichen glanced at Zhao Minglang, "But you don't stay at school very much, so you may not remember me."

When it came to school, Zhao Minglang slowly realized why she always felt the name Cheng Yichen was familiar.

Cheng Yichen was considered her senior, but they were not in the same major, they missed two grades, and later they came to exchange abroad, let alone return to the main campus, so the number of times they met was naturally very few.

If it weren't for the fact that his university roommates regarded him as a male god, Zhao Minglang might not have remembered this name.

But logically speaking, nothing happened in college, so it wouldn't happen that he suddenly fell in love with her at first sight after so many years of graduation.

"I don't have your contact information, so I can only go to your parents." Cheng Yichen felt a little guilty about this, "They seem to have misunderstood something, I think it's better to make it clear in advance."

Zhao Minglang raised his spirits: "Misunderstanding?"

"Yes." Cheng Yichen hesitated for a moment, "Actually, I just want to find someone."

This person is obviously not Zhao Minglang.

And Cheng Yichen was also full of hesitation about this question.

"I saw you walking with her before. I'm not sure if I was wrong, but I haven't seen her for a long time. It's rare to come across some clues, and I don't want to give up. If I offend you, I apologize to you." You apologize..."

Zhao Minglang glanced out of the restaurant subconsciously, suppressed the messy guesses in his mind, and asked him directly: "Who are you looking for?"

"Xingyue." Cheng Yichen said, "I'm looking for Lin Xingyue."
