Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 28 Blind Date

"Alright, stop making excuses. Whatever your reason for resigning, since you've already resigned, that's fine. You've been doing that job for several years, it's not a big deal, you can find another one."

"But don't mess up my blind date tomorrow, I already have one planned!"

Seeing Xiao Kai's eyes flicker, Ji Xiaolan knew what he was thinking and ruthlessly dashed his hopes.

Now Xiao Kai understood. Tomorrow's blind date was clearly inevitable; there was no escaping it.

Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, his mother had anticipated his return tonight long before he came back, and even guessed the final outcome, so she arranged the time for him in advance.

"Sigh~"

What else could he do? Since he couldn't avoid it, Xiao Kai could only choose to bear it. At worst, he would deal with it for a while and then come back.

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Kai immediately felt a little better.

At 10 p.m., Xiao Kai and Xiao Peng finally came out of their parents' house.

Soon, the two arrived downstairs.

"Alright, since we can't avoid it anyway, let's go take a look. Maybe you'll fall for someone this time!"

"And I'm not trying to criticize you, but your fourth uncle and aunt are not young anymore. Sister Ruyan has been married for so many years, but you're still not married. How can you expect them not to worry?"

Xiao Peng patted Xiao Kai on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Yeah, I know that too!"

Xiao Kai also sighed.

"But we haven't found a suitable one yet, let's keep looking!"

"Okay, let's go take a look tomorrow!"

"Bye-Bye!"

After they finished speaking, they each walked towards their own building.

Back home, Xiao Kai lay in bed, recalling what his parents had said that day, and he actually understood them quite well.

After all, they were already in their thirties when Xiao Kai was born, and now that they are both nearing retirement age, Xiao Kai is still not married. It's impossible for them not to be anxious.

Moreover, he was the only boy in their family.

Although their family did not discriminate against girls, and the parents also loved Xiao Kai's eldest sister's children very much, it was normal for them to have some reservations about their only son not getting married and not having children.

"Well, let's see. If it's suitable, then let's do it this way!"

Thinking this, Xiao Kai drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

.....

The next morning, shortly after eight o'clock, Xiao Kai's mother called right on time, urging him to get up.

Xiao Kai had no choice but to feel helpless in the face of this.

Soon, Xiao Kai, having finished washing up, went to meet up with Xiao Peng.

They rode their bikes together to a tea restaurant in the city center.

When the two arrived, the shop had obviously just opened, and there were very few people inside. They simply found a seat by the window and ordered some drinks.

"What time did you arrive?"

After sitting down, Xiao Peng glanced at his phone and asked.

"Around 10 o'clock!"

Xiao Kai said lazily.

"It's still early, twenty minutes to go. I'm going to have a smoke first, you sit down for a bit!"

After Xiao Peng finished speaking, he picked up the cigarettes on the table and walked out.

Smoking is not allowed in places like tea restaurants, and it's obviously unrealistic for him to just sit and wait like that, given his smoking addiction.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai didn't say anything, but took out his phone and started playing.

And so, a little while more passed.

Just as Xiao Kai was wondering why Xiao Peng hadn't returned for so long and was about to call and ask after finishing the game, a gentle voice, like a breeze, came from behind him.

"Xiao Kai!"

Xiao Kai's spirits lifted, and he slowly turned his head.

Before my eyes was a tall, beautiful girl wearing a stylish down jacket, and next to her was a short girl with baby fat, who was also quite good-looking.

"May I ask who you are?"

Xiao Kai quickly put down his phone and tentatively asked.

Upon hearing this, before the girl in front could even speak, the shorter girl who had come with her laughed.

"Sister Xinyue, I knew it! He definitely doesn't remember you! Haha, you lost, you have to buy me milk tea."

"Um?"

These words left Xiao Kai even more bewildered. He was quite certain that he had never seen the girl in front of him before. If he knew her, how could he have forgotten her? After all, girls with such good looks are rare.

However, from the short woman's voice, it was not hard to guess that these two people should know him.

But if that's the case, how could he not remember?

At the very least, you should have some impression of it.

"Xin Yue, that name sounds familiar!"

Suddenly, a scene flashed into Xiao Kai's mind.

That was when he was in high school.

At the time, he was studying at Ping Shun No. 3 Middle School. Because his class was a science class, there were relatively few girls.

He had some impression of almost every girl.

Two of these girls left a deep impression on him.

One of them was very famous because she was very beautiful and was one of the most beautiful girls in their entire grade. As a result, she was secretly admired by many male classmates.

Xiao Kai was no exception.

The other one is also very famous, but she is famous not because she is good-looking.

On the contrary, in many people's eyes, she always wears black-rimmed glasses, has a large face and is a little chubby. She is not ugly, but she is definitely not good-looking either.

Yet this seemingly ordinary girl was the top student in all the science classes in her grade, and by a huge margin.

It is said that he performed exceptionally well in the college entrance examination and even achieved the second-best score in the city.

If Xiao Kai remembers correctly, the girl with excellent grades has the characters "Xin Yue" in her name.

I remember Xiao Kai even sat behind the other person for a while.

However, his relationship with the other party didn't seem to be very good. Xiao Kai was quite mischievous back then and did a lot of nasty things.

Once, when the teacher wasn't looking during class, he used nail clippers to cut off a large section of the girl's hair and drew a bunch of messy things on her school uniform, which made her cry. Later, her parents were called in, and her seat was changed.

Thinking of this, Xiao Kai couldn't help but look at the other person's face again, this time with extra seriousness.

Suddenly, the face with black-rimmed glasses in my mind slowly overlapped with the person in front of me.

"Hiss~ You are... Zhan Xinyue?"

Xiao Kai looked incredulous, as if he had discovered something incredible.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Xinyue was initially delighted, but then her expression changed, and she stared wide-eyed as she spoke.

"Hmph, you finally remembered me! I've always remembered you. You cut off a huge chunk of my hair and drew such an ugly picture on my school uniform, making me so embarrassed for so long!"

"Uh~"

Xiao Kai paused, embarrassed and at a loss for what to do.

"Uh, I was just being immature back then. I'm sorry, I apologize for my past ignorance!"

"That's more like it. Then I'll be magnanimous and forgive you!" Zhan Xinyue said proudly.

"Hehe, then thank you for your understanding, Miss Zhan!" Xiao Kai said with a smile.

"By the way, what are you doing here?" Xiao Kai asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Xinyue's expression changed, her ears turned slightly red, and she stammered, "What do you want us to do just that?"

"Um?"

Xiao Kai was stunned for a moment, then stood up abruptly, staring at the other person, and said, word by word, "You, you're not telling me you're the blind date my mom arranged for me?"
