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. Since he had asked everything, he had to ask a few more questions: "What's bothering me? I won't be angry because I asked you several questions but didn'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, and they actually want to arrange a blind date for me without asking for my consent.
They even forced me to meet them on the weekends. Why are they 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 make them worried.”
Shen Zizhuo:......
What a coincidence, he also had 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 thought.
Ye Linglong shook his head: "You don't understand, things are not that simple. It's just like an unequal treaty. As long as you sign the first one, there will be a second and third one. For the same reason, they gave me today
I went on a blind date obediently. Then I would come back and make up a reason to tell them that I wasn’t interested. Next time, they would avoid the conditions you didn’t like and find you another one, and then you would never go back on the blind date again.
"Return. 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 felt that what Xiaofantong said was very reasonable, especially the metaphor of unequal treaties, which made him immediately understand the power of it.
If the little ricer hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have thought that there would be many troubles in the future. Now that he thinks about it carefully, it's true. Once the principle is compromised, the bottom line will also decline. Is it possible that he will really waste time in the future?
Go on a blind date?
Shen Zizhuo had a headache just thinking about it. Fortunately, Xiaofantong accidentally reminded him, otherwise he wouldn't know when he would remember this.
"Then what are you going to do?" Shen Zizhuo calmly tried to trick Xiaofan Tong 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 I have to find a way to solve it once and for all." Ye Linglong said nothing, 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, and had already raised his chin. When he was about to click, he suddenly realized 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 to be 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 that she didn't express it 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.
Said: "Anyway, I just want you to do me a favor, pretend to be my boyfriend, and act 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 opinion.
"Teacher Shen, please help me. This great kindness will never be forgotten. From now on, I will definitely act like a cow and a horse to repay your life-saving grace." Ye Linglong's sincere attitude almost gave Shen Zizhuo a knock.
Shen Zizhuo felt that what she said was a bit exaggerated. It was not a great kindness, and it was not even a life-saving grace. However, her suggestion gave him some ideas.
As long as he also 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 arm.
The sleeves swayed 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, don't you have any other troubles to deal with? Like your family?" Shen Zizhuo was a little worried. He didn't want to make this act too big and it wouldn't end well.
"No, no." Ye Linglong immediately raised her hand and assured: "My family members are not in China. They are worried that I only have one person in the country and force me to find a boyfriend. As long as they know that I have a boyfriend, they will be relieved.
, at most send them a photo of us."
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 was so excited that she almost jumped up: "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 knife mountain or the sea of fire without hesitation."
