"What, Xiao Su went on a blind date? Then why are you still here?" Wen Nanqing exclaimed, looking at Shen Yi across from her.
"What can I do? If it's going to rain and the bride's going to get married, can I stop him from going on a date?" Shen Yi shrugged helplessly.
Although she knew this wasn't Su Qing's idea, she even knew he didn't want to go, and would likely purposely fail, she did feel a bit uncomfortable inside, though she couldn't express it.
No way, sometimes expressing unwillingness also requires a certain status, and their relationship is merely that of boss and employee, at most, neighbors.
What boss would interfere with an employee going on a date after work? As for neighbors, that's even less likely. As friends, blessings are the main thing.
Take Su Qing for instance, even if Wang Xing found a lousy girlfriend, he still has to offer blessings, at least not show disgust openly.
"Saving face at the cost of suffering, I ask you, are you still going to charge your phone?"
"Of course, I'm going to charge!"
"Then if Xiao Su has a girlfriend, will he wirelessly charge you or go home and charge his girlfriend's phone?"
Shen Yi: ...
"The power bank has limited capacity, if others use more, you get less, it's a power bank, not the Three Gorges Dam!" Wen Nanqing tapped her forehead with her finger.
"I can't be his girlfriend, right? I'm his boss."
"What's wrong with being the boss? Wouldn't it be great to save Xiao Su thirty years of detours?"
"The main thing is, I only see him as a power bank, didn't intend to connect with him."
"You're indeed a lousy woman!"
"I..."
Given Shen Yi's age, she's seen all kinds of storms and waves, as for feelings, though she hasn't experienced them, her feelings for Su Qing indeed haven't reached that step yet. Being friends is fine, but being a girlfriend seems a bit tough.
Maybe with more time, because of the need for charging, she might like, even love him, but they've only known each other for just over a month, saying she likes him, she wouldn't even believe it herself.
Of course, most importantly was Su Qing's words in her office, she wasn't afraid of Su Qing, but a bit afraid of his mom.
If they confirmed the relationship, by this time next year, would she be close to giving birth?
No way, her career still needs her to fight for it, she can't have kids, well, she can't get married.
"Anyway, don't say I didn't warn you, although you're excellent in terms of both looks and economic condition, feelings are quite metaphysical, it's about first come, first served. If Xiao Su really hits it off with someone, don't come crying to me, by then, the company and neighbor stuff will have to stand aside." Even though Wen Nanqing's own romantic and marital situations are a mess, it didn't stop her from advising others, even offering a full set.
"Impossible, he said it was his mom's idea, he didn't want to go, just going to deal with it,"
To this, the landlady snorted: "Deal with it? What if?"
Shen Yi: "What if what?"
"What if the two of them fancy each other? I already told you, feelings are quite metaphysical, even if the odds are small, what if?"
Hearing this, Shen Yi couldn't sit still, despite not being ready to have kids, but she needed to charge.
"Then... what do you say, what should I do?"
"Of course, rush over and mess up the blind date!"
"Me? That's not good, right? Besides, I already know he's going on a date, if I rush over, what if he overthinks it? We're not at that stage yet."
To this, Wen Nanqing nodded: "True, you don't have the status! You can't even catch a cheating scene."
Shen Yi: ...
She just knew that married woman's mouth never has anything good to say, from an outsider's perspective, she might look dignified and poised, like a model of a noble lady, but in fact, she's utterly bold.
"Actually, there's another way," Wen Nanqing suddenly said.
Shen Yi was stunned, immediately asking, only to see the landlady slowly extend a finger.
"Hey, don't overdo it!"
Just as those words fell, the landlady added another finger, making Shen Yi blush: "Alright, it's settled, what's the method!"
Upon hearing this, the landlady stood up, placing her small hand in front of Shen Yi: "Prepare for Her Majesty's dressing!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Meanwhile, Su Qing was going crazy, this woman, is she insane?
Of course, it might be his mother's charm, already discussing marriage with the young woman.
The girl is named Cheng Xiaoxue, twenty-six years old, just dressed in a way that made her look a bit mature.
Her appearance is passable, not ugly, slim, but her skin is a bit yellowish, just over 1.6 meters tall, although not outstanding, not considered short either, working as a teacher at a kindergarten, a local from Jiang City.
As for the so-called code word, that's something the woman agreed on with his mom, and Gotham City's big sister didn't have time to tell him.
Luckily, he's not uneducated, he's seen movies after all, but isn't this a code word for overthrowing the Qing dynasty, using it for a blind date seems a bit much.
How many kids would it take to overthrow the Qing dynasty, and besides, the Qing's long gone, what's there to overthrow.
"Ahem, well, let's eat first, let's eat first!" Su Qing quickly ushered the girl to sit down, ordered some ingredients, and started cooking.
"You seem very nervous, is it your first time?" Cheng Xiaoxue smiled, feeling quite satisfied with the man in front of her, at least his appearance was nice.
"Yes, yes, a bit nervous!"
"Your voice sounds different from what it did on WeChat, but at least you look like your photo."
Su Qing: ...
Of course, the one in a cyber relationship with you was my mom, how could the voice be the same.
"Husband, you said you're a web blogger, what kind of blogger are you? Is being a web blogger profitable?"
"Pfft!" He choked on a piece of tripe, coughing repeatedly, and quickly wiped his mouth with a napkin: "Just call me by my name!"
"What's wrong, husband, weren't we chatting well online, is seeing each other making you shy?" Cheng Xiaoxue smiled, finding the strange sense of unfamiliarity odd but entertaining, this boy seemed more interesting as it added a fresh feeling.
Su Qing couldn't help but cry out in his heart, mom, what have you been chatting about with her online?
"It's alright, it's alright!"
"Miss Cheng, I wanted to say, that online chat may not always reflect reality, actually chatting with you these past few days..."
But before he could finish, the woman interrupted: "I know, that's why we're meeting, right? Oh, I brought a phone charger."
Su Qing: ???
"That's good, my phone has power, you can charge in my car later."
Upon hearing this, the woman looked around, feeling a bit embarrassed: "In the car? That doesn't seem right!"
"Not right?"
He was a bit confused, charging in the car wasn't allowed, could it be she was suggesting he take her home? They just started eating, after all.
The girl thought for a moment, bit her lip, then said: "Alright, let's go with your plan, we'll charge in the car!"
Though bewildered, he nodded numbly, the girl's face turned slightly red as she glared at him playfully:
"Didn't expect you to be young but quite capable."
"Traveling the world, there's strength in many skills, I think it's beneficial to learn more, if you want to learn, I can teach you." Su Qing agreed.
He thought she was asking about his profession, after all, he does editing, deals with post-production, even voice acting, and now is involved in stock trading, indeed, he knows a lot.
"Sure, how will you teach me?"
"First, you'll need a computer."
"Computer? You have... You're so skilled, I like it!"
Su Qing: ...
