Ye Linglong naturally succeeded in getting dinner at Shen Zizhuo's house with her thick-skinned face. However, Shen Zizhuo found that the little rice pail didn't seem to have a good appetite tonight. He ate every bite, as if it was not to his liking.
.
Shen Zizhuo couldn't help but wonder if his cooking skills tonight were abnormal, but he tasted every dish and didn't feel that the taste was any worse than usual.
It can be inferred from this that Xiaofan Tong's poor appetite has nothing to do with his cooking skills.
He didn't eat much, and he didn't talk much. It looked like he was worried.
Shen Zizhuo became a little curious and asked, "Is there something bothering you?"
Ye Linglong suddenly raised her buried head, just shy of writing the words "I'm troubled" on her forehead: "Did you see it?"
Shen Zizhuo thought to himself that it is all written on your face and reflected in your job, and I am not blind.
He nodded, and since he had already asked, he felt free to ask a few more questions: "What's bothering you?
I won’t be angry because I asked you several questions but couldn’t answer them correctly.”
"I'm not that stingy."
Ye Linglong pursed her lips and sighed: "These past few days, my family has gone crazy for some reason. They actually arranged for me to go on a blind date without asking for my consent. They also forced me to have weekends."
Go and meet.
Why are you meeting me? I’m only in my twenties and I’m still several years away from being thirty, so I don’t know how to worry them.”
Shen Zizhuo: ...What a coincidence, he also has the same trouble.
However, it was somewhat understandable that An Zhisu was worried about himself, but Ye Linglong's family was indeed worried too early. According to him, Ye Linglong's temper still had to be tempered, and she might not mature until she was thirty.
"Teacher Shen, what do you think I should do?"
Ye Linglong asked for help in an extremely distressed manner.
"If you really can't put it down, just go through the motions. It only lasts for a meal."
This is what Shen Zizhuo himself thinks.
Ye Linglong shook her head: "You don't understand, things are not that simple.
This is just like an unequal treaty. As long as you sign the first one, there will be a second and third one.
In the same way, they arranged a blind date for me today and I went obediently. Then I would make up a reason to tell them that I didn’t like it. Next time they would avoid the conditions you didn’t like and find you another one, and then you would be there.
The road to blind date is gone forever.
I can’t trap myself in it, and you can’t underestimate their perseverance and patience.”
Shen Zizhuo: ...I don’t know why, but I just think what Xiaofantong said is very reasonable, especially the metaphor of the unequal treaty, which made him immediately understand the power of it.
If Xiaofantong didn't remind him, he wouldn't have thought that there would be a lot of trouble later.
Now that I think about it carefully, it is indeed true.
Once the principle falls, the bottom line will also fall.
Is it possible that we really have to waste time going on blind dates in the future?
Shen Zizhuo had a headache just thinking about it. Fortunately, Xiaofantong accidentally reminded him, otherwise he didn't know when he would remember this.
"Then what are you going to do?"
Shen Zizhuo calmly tried to trick the little rice bucket and asked her if she had any ideas that could be solved once and for all. If the method was good, he could borrow it.
Ye Linglong was waiting for him to ask this question. Shen Zizhuo thought he had tricked Ye Linglong, but he didn't know that he had fallen into someone else's trap from the beginning.
"Of course we have to think of a permanent solution."
Ye Linglong was silent, put down her chopsticks for the time being, and analyzed with him: "Look, they asked me to go on a blind date because I don't have a boyfriend, right?"
Shen Zizhuo nodded.
"Then if I have a boyfriend, I don't need to go on a blind date, right?"
Shen Zizhuo nodded again.
There is no problem with the logic.
"But you can't buy a boyfriend with money, right?"
Shen Zizhuo continued to nod.
It is true that there is no such thing as selling a boyfriend.
"So the problem I urgently need to solve now is the lack of a ready-made boyfriend, right?"
Shen Zizhuo continued to nod.
Yes, he also lacks a ready-made girlfriend.
Ye Linglong snapped her fingers and then said: "Teacher Shen, please be my boyfriend."
Shen Zizhuo nodded reflexively. He had already raised his chin. When he was about to click, he suddenly realized what he was doing and turned his chin to look at Ye Linglong.
It was so dangerous, she almost got in.
After going around in so many circles, it turned out that I was waiting for him.
"Don't get me wrong, Teacher Shen, he's not a real boyfriend, he's a fake boyfriend."
Seeing him staring at her like this, Ye Linglong quickly explained what she just said.
Shen Zizhuo narrowed his eyes: "Fake boyfriend?"
It seems that he still doesn't understand Ye Linglong's words enough.
Ye Linglong nodded like a fool: "Yes, yes, as the name suggests, it is only in the name of boyfriend and girlfriend, but not in reality."
After hearing this explanation, Shen Zizhuo even frowned on his normally flat brows.
"It seems I didn't express myself clearly."
Ye Linglong scratched her head. At this time, her lack of proficiency in Chinese was holding her back. She racked her brains and couldn't figure out how to express her meaning accurately, so she simply expressed it in a popular way: "Anyway, I'm just asking you.
Do me a favor, just pretend to be my boyfriend and act out a scene with me to deceive my family."
The easy-to-understand explanation made Shen Zizhuo completely understand the meaning of this "fake boyfriend", and he just said "oh" without expressing his position.
"Teacher Shen, please help me.
This great kindness will never be forgotten, and I will definitely act like a cow and a horse in the future to repay your life-saving grace."
Ye Linglong's sincere attitude was just short of being knocked down by Shen Zizhuo.
Shen Zizhuo felt that what she said was a bit exaggerated. It was not a great kindness, nor a life-saving kindness at all.
But her suggestion gave him some ideas.
As long as he has a girlfriend, An Zhisu won't have to worry about him being alone, and naturally he won't go on a blind date for him anymore.
It's really a once and for all idea.
"Teacher Shen, please, if you don't save me, I will die on the blind date. Can you bear to see me, a beautiful girl, destroyed and killed by an arranged marriage?"
Ye Linglong grabbed his sleeve and shook it slowly, pitifully.
Shen Zizhuo twitched the corner of his mouth, they were on a blind date just now, now it was an arranged marriage.
"Just pretending to be a boyfriend, no other troubles to deal with?
Like your family?”
Shen Zizhuo was a little worried, he didn't want to make this drama too big and it would end badly.
"No, no."
Ye Linglong immediately raised her hand and assured: "My family members are not in the country. They are just worried that I have only one person in the country and force me to find a boyfriend. As long as they know that I have a boyfriend, they will feel relieved. At most, I can send them a letter."
Our photo together.”
If it's just a group photo, Shen Zizhuo is still acceptable.
My family is not in the country, so I don’t have to deal with the troubles of my family.
Shen Zizhuo began to waver unknowingly, and then after some careful consideration, he finally agreed.
"Okay, I'll just help you once."
Ye Linglong almost jumped up with excitement: "Teacher Shen, you are so kind. I won't thank you for your kindness. If you need my help in the future, just ask. I will go up to the sword and go down to the sea of fire."
Shen Zizhuo: ...Where did you learn this gangster spirit?
