Chapter 1 The blind date is with the school sweetheart
On Sunday, at 9:50 in the morning, Xu Xiaozhou was already sitting in the coffee shop.
Soft music is playing in the room, filled with the aroma of desserts and coffee. People in twos and threes are enjoying leisurely morning tea, and the time is peaceful.
Xu Xiaozhou raised his hand to look at his watch from time to time, feeling unhappy.
The clear floor-to-ceiling windows reflected her figure, wearing a light blue denim skirt and white sneakers. Her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail, which was very simple and refreshing.
She stirred the coffee on the table casually, and the screen of her mobile phone beside her lit up. It was a message from her best friend Yin Peiru.
Yin Peiru: [Have you seen anyone? Are you handsome? 】
Xu Xiaozhou sighed and replied: [Not yet, I just hope that this blind date is someone who likes to be punctual rather than late. 】
Yin Peiru sympathized endlessly: [Hug my baby~]
Xu Xiaozhou put down the phone, she also wanted to hug herself.
Her main job is as a history teacher at Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School, and her work is usually busy and fulfilling. There are even colleagues in the office who were her teachers when she was a high school student, and everyone gets along very happily.
But this Friday, the director of the school's political and educational office suddenly found her and wanted to introduce her to a blind date.
The usually serious and irritable little old man smiled like a flower and turned into a gold medal salesman. All kinds of complimentary words were piled on this blind date whom he had never met before, and he described him as if he was free of charge. A perfect Mr.—tall and handsome, he was the school sweetheart when he was studying, he has a stable mood and good character, he has a happy family and his parents are open-minded, and he is even a high-income earner who graduated with a doctorate and started his own business.
Xu Xiaozhou felt that it was impossible for such a high-quality man to enter the blind date market. After all, after two years of blind dating experience, she already understood what it means - the introducer's mouth is a liar.
Because she was quiet and introverted when she was in school, and devoted all her free time to her dubbing hobby except studying, she had no experience in love.
However, there are examples of parents who have successfully dated each other and have been married for many years, but their relationship is still sweet and harmonious, so Xu Xiaozhou does not resist the blind date.
But the current blind date market is very different from that of more than 20 years ago. After failing too many times, she has been able to treat the difference between "seller show" and "buyer show" with a normal mind.
Including this time too.
——
One minute before ten o'clock, a tall and upright figure walked into the coffee shop.
The man is wearing a white shirt and black trousers. The advantage of his height and long legs makes the simple clothes look good on the model.
And the other party's handsome appearance did not waste this good figure, and inevitably attracted a lot of stunning attention.
Xu Xiaozhou also looked over, admired it for a second and then looked away, continuing to stare out the window in a daze.
"Xu Xiaozhou, Miss Xu...?" The handsome guy walked up to her and called her name, his deep voice was very pleasant.
Xu Xiaozhou came back to her senses and swallowed subconsciously. A vague guess came to her mind, which made her a little unbelievable.
"Who are you?"
Li Jici lowered his eyes and stared at her, seeing her reaction in his eyes. He raised the corners of his lips and stretched out his right hand towards her, "Hello, I am yours." The blind date, Li Jici.”
Xu Xiaozhou was confused... Li Jici?
The not-too-familiar name awakened a memory deep in her brain—Li Jici, who once outshone all his peers and sat on the top spot in high school for three years with his looks and academic performance?
The superior appearance of the man in front of him coincided with the face of the classmate in his memory. Xu Xiaozhou did not forget to sigh in his heart that the director of the school's Political and Education Office was really an honest person. This blind date was indeed School bastard!
"Hello." Xu Xiaozhou suppressed his nervousness and showed a formal smile, "I am Xu Xiaozhou."
Li Jici nodded to him in response.
The two sat down separately and looked at each other inadvertently, one calm and the other avoidant.
Xu Xiaozhou was a little nervous and pretended to look at the approaching waiter, "Do you want to order a drink first?"
Li Ji's words were concise and to the point, "Just the same as yours." Waiter Quietly guessing the relationship between the handsome man and beauty in front of him, he kept a just right smile on his face. After listening to Li Jici's words, he glanced at Xu Xiaozhou's coffee and left silently.
The air returned to silence. This corner seemed to be isolated from the surrounding space by an invisible line, and the atmosphere was no longer relaxed.
Xu Xiaozhou is slow and talkative in front of strangers, not to mention that the blind date is still a famous figure in high school. The word "school idol" is not only crushing in terms of appearance, but also in terms of academic performance. A perfect match.
Even though she was one class below Li Jici in high school, the students in the two classes above and below him at that time were the control group for the school's top students, and the psychological shadow left behind cannot be easily erased.
Seeing that she remained silent, Li Jici guessed that she was nervous. After all, she was not very courageous in high school.
His knuckled fingers tapped on the table, attracting Xu Xiaozhou's attention.
“Let’s go through the process?” he said.
It was obviously the first blind date, but they seemed to be doing it with ease.
Xu Xiaozhou: "Ah? Okay."
Li Jici tried his best to create a mask of gentleness and introduced himself first, "My name is Li Jici, I am 28 years old. I graduated from Beijing with a bachelor's degree and a Ph.D. City University School of Medicine, I returned to Jiangcheng with my friends last month to start a business and opened a dental clinic.”
"I only have one request for my partner."
He looked at Xu Xiaozhou and said slowly: "As long as it pleases my eyes."
Xu Xiaozhou:...
This has nothing to do with her.
When he heard the three words Li Jici, Xu Xiaozhou knew that today's blind date would end in vain.
The school girl is too good and she is not worthy of it.
She just wants to find an ordinary man who has similar conditions to her in all aspects, and then like her parents, they can live in harmony and respect each other as guests.
"My name is Xu Xiaozhou. I am 27 years old. I graduated from Shanghai Normal University with both undergraduate and graduate degrees. I am currently a history teacher at Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School."
Li Jici listened very seriously. There was always a slight smile on his face, and he seemed quite satisfied with Xu Xiaozhou's situation.
"Then what do you want from your partner?" he asked.
Xu Xiaozhou: "...it doesn't need to be too dazzling."
She glanced at him quietly and considered her words, "Be serious about your work, be responsible for your family, be dedicated to your elders, well, just be kind and motivated."
Li Jici smiled, as if he didn’t hear that he didn’t need to be too dazzling A few words, or he didn't put it into his own words at all, and said in an easy-going tone: "I think Teacher Xu is so good, the requirements can be higher."
"For example, the height should be more than 1.8 meters."
< br>“The academic qualifications must be graduate degree or above.”
"You have to be handsome, make money, and be single in love."
"Well, you have to be physically strong and have a good temper."
Xu Xiaozhou: "..."
