On the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Ling was called back by her father.

In the evening, Xu Ling returned to Yinuo's house angrily.

"What? What does your father want from you? He is so angry." Yinuo hugged Yueyue, who was lying impatiently, and shook her gently.

Yueyue chirped, her eyes half-opened and half-closed.

Xu Ling saw Yueyue half-closed her eyes, looking like she wanted to sleep, and said, "Let's put Yueyue to sleep first! We'll talk about it later."

Yinuo carried Yueyue into the room, while Xu Ling rummaged in the living room irritably.

Looking at the phone.

"What's wrong?" Yinuo closed the door, walked over and asked.

"My dad wants me to go on a blind date."

Xu Ling said suddenly.

Xu Ling has been in love many times, but she has never been on a blind date, let alone one requested by her father.

Although Xu Ling was sentenced to his father, his father married his stepmother and started a family. She has always been outside the family. After working, he basically broke away from the family that his father later organized. However, her father is rich, and when she is unhappy, she likes to ask her father for money. It can't be said that his father doesn't love her. Whenever Xu Ling opens her mouth, his father always satisfies her. But that family couldn't accommodate her. Her stubborn temper was also a reason. Is it because our parents are divorced that our relationship is so good? For a long time, Yinuo has been looking for the answer to this question.

I don’t know why his father suddenly asked her to go on a blind date? Could it be that he couldn't see that she couldn't reach an agreement after many discussions, or that he thought she was too old, or some other reason?

Yinuo couldn't help but look at Xu Ling. Xu Ling was uncharacteristically looking at the TV a little absent-mindedly. The TV turned out to be CCTV 11 - the Opera Channel.

"Why does your dad suddenly want you to go on a blind date?" Yinuo sat next to Xu Ling.

"I don't know." Xu Ling turned off the TV and lay on the sofa with a sad expression.

"go?"

"My dad said that if I don't go, he won't give me pocket money. I can't live without his pocket money. I also have a job and make money."

"Yes, yes, you are amazing!" Yinuo praised her without sparing any effort, "I found the job by myself, and I didn't need his help. Although the money is just enough, there are no loans or debts! You are amazing. .Defeat ninety-nine percent of people.”

"Pfft!" Xu Ling was amused by Yinuo.

"You're good! You can actually make a joke. And you don't use any curse words."

Yinuo said seriously, “I don't use curse words when I curse people."

"Hahaha!"

Xu Ling laughed, "You still curse?...Do you know how to curse? Hahaha!"

"Get out!" Yinuo kicked Xu Ling.

"You can only say get out! Hahahaha!" Xu Ling laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward.

Seeing Xu Ling regaining her former liveliness, Yinuo also smiled.

Yinuo grabbed Xu Ling, who was smiling crookedly, and asked curiously, “Hey! What's going on with that man?"

Xu Ling said nonchalantly, “Who knows, I didn't listen to him carefully. When I heard he asked me to go on a blind date, I got angry and had a fight with him."

Yinuo glared at her and felt that he had nothing to say to her. This guy was too hasty.

Xu Ling glanced at Yinuo and said nonchalantly, “It seems that my surname is Yang, and my family is also in business." Then she said something cautiously. Seeing that Yinuo's face softened, her voice became louder, and she started talking nonsense again, “It must be the same. He's the same, obsessed with money, lustful, what's the point? Do I want to follow in my mother's footsteps?"

Yinuo slapped her over and reprimanded, “What nonsense are you talking about? What are you following in the past? Your parents must have divorced due to emotional discord. Could it be that you can't get married again after a divorce?"

After I got divorced, I realized that sometimes divorce is a very last resort decision.

What will happen after divorce? Yinuo feels that she has a choice.

"They are not..." Xu Ling muttered in a low voice.

Yinuo looked at her helplessly.

Our parents’ marriage does have a profound impact on us. This is probably the original ecological family mentioned in the movie!

Yinuo stared at her, “Then are you going or not?"

"It's so annoying, I don't know." Xu Ling grabbed his hair randomly and howled, "Ah! Am I still going on a blind date after 90 years?"

Blind date? These two words sound ancient. Young people want to save face and do not accept and do not like this activity.

Xu Ling shouted inexplicably at Yinuo, “It's the 21st century, why does Mao still have such activities as blind dates?"

Xu Ling, who promised not to have her hair cut, was always whiny, so she just had to get over it.

Xu Ling is from the 1990s, and Yinuo feels that she is from the 1980s. She was probably raised by her grandma when she was a child! There is a generation gap and I really can’t understand them.

…

Before Xu Ling could make a decision, his father called him the next day.

"Don't forget to come to the Lotus Hall of Xidie Restaurant at 11:00 noon."

Xu Ling turned on the speaker phone, and her father's voice came through clearly.

"I'm not going." Xu Ling replied unhappily.

"I have made an appointment with the Yang family. If you don't go, where will I lose my face? You should pack it up quickly."

Xu Ling's father's voice immediately rose an octave, like a lion's roar.

"What does your face have to do with me? I didn't promise you. You promised to go by yourself, but I won't go." Xu Ling and Ben didn't agree with him. Xu Ling eats soft things but not hard things.

Xu Ling's father on the other side of the phone was probably so angry that he was blowing his beard and staring.

Xu Ling's father, Yinuo, has also met him. He is tall, has a Chinese character face, black hair and thick eyebrows. He looks very strong and has a quick temper. Xu Ling's temper was probably inherited from her father. At this time, Xu Ling's father must have looked like a glaring King Kong.

Although Xu Ling's father was angry and scary, Xu Ling was not afraid and could do whatever he wanted. Many times, her father had nothing to do with her, and things were often unclear. This time, his dad seemed adamant.

"If you don't want to go, you have to go." Father Xu's tone was firm.

"Why! I don't lack a boyfriend."

"Then why didn't I see you bring one back for the Chinese New Year? Come on time, don't be late. I'm not doing this for your own good."

Probably all parents like to say this. Yinuo smiled softly. Unfortunately, children don’t like to hear this.

"I want to take Yinuo with me. Otherwise I won't go."

Yinuo hurriedly pulled her arm and shook his head at her. I don’t want to be a light bulb!

Xu Ling winked at her.

"Okay. Don't be late!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Ling's father agreed.

Xu Ling hung up the phone happily. Turning around, she saw Yinuo pouting and staring at her fiercely.

"Go! Go! Come with me!"

Xu Ling came over like a little puppy and shook Yinuo's arm. Yinuo couldn't stand Xu Ling pretending to be cute like this. He didn't keep his straight face for two minutes before smiling, so Yinuo had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Okay, okay." Yinuo looked at the time and saw that it's not too early. "It's not too early either. Let's go put on makeup!"

"okay!"

Xu Ling immediately let go of Yinuo's arm and ran to the bathroom, “Are all the cosmetics still there?"

"Here it is, put it in the second drawer of the cabinet."

Yinuo has not dared to use cosmetics since she was pregnant, for fear of affecting the baby in her belly. After giving birth to Yueyue, she still did not dare to use them. She only put on some lipstick at work and wiped them off as soon as she got home, for fear of being too mobile. Yueyue accidentally bumped into it.

…

"Ah! What kind of makeup are you wearing?"

Yinuo was frightened by the face in front of her. She pushed Xu Ling away and retreated until she was leaning against the back of the sofa. Xu Ling, pale face, scattered eyebrows, thick black eye bags, dark brown lips, oh my god! Like a ghost.

"Panda makeup." Xu Ling raised her chin slightly, opened her mouth, and smiled.

You have slandered pandas and discredited pandas, do you know? The panda will kill you if he finds out.

"It's so ugly, go and make it ugly." Yinuo pushed her to the bathroom. Xu Ling refused to leave and murmured nonsense, “This is good. It scares them all away. This is all good!"

"It's not good at all. If you don't want to talk, just don't talk. Just have a meal. Why do you have to use blackening and vilifying yourself? As the saying goes, if you hurt the enemy by a thousand, you will hurt yourself by eight hundred. You haven't hurt the enemy by a thousand. Well, you will lose eight hundred to yourself. This is not worth it. Go and transform again."

Facing Yinuo's firm eyes, Xu Ling returned to the bathroom unconvinced.

Fifteen minutes later. Xu Ling came out again.

Um! Smoky makeup is acceptable. It's probably not possible if he doesn't accept it. Xu Ling's temper and patience are not that good. It’s almost done!

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Ling came out, she glared at Yinuo and said loudly, “Hey! Don't say no again this time."

Although Yinuo was still not satisfied, it was almost enough. If he made any more demands, this girl would get angry again.

Smokey eyes – they should be okay with that! We are all people of the 21st century.

…

Xidie Restaurant is in the west of the city, a bit far away. Yinuo urged Xu Ling to go out early. Yinuo doesn't like to be late, and always likes to be a few minutes early for appointments. First, there is no rush on the way, and second, I feel at ease when I arrive early. You can also be a little prepared to do it, which will be more appropriate.

Fortunately, they had left a while earlier and there was a slight traffic jam on the road. When Xu Ling and Yinuo arrived at the Xidie Restaurant, the time was just right. There are still five minutes until eleven o'clock, which is the perfect time to get to the private room.

Xidie Restaurant has a splendid front door. When you go inside, you will find a new and luxurious decoration. The elevator is shiny and golden, and people's silhouettes can be seen in it.

On the third floor, there is the third Lotus Hall on the left.

The waiter is young and enthusiastic.

Father Xu and Stepmother Xu have already arrived. The parents opposite are about the same age as Father Xu. They seem to be familiar with each other and are chatting. It seems that those are the other party's parents. However, since I didn’t see the man, he probably hasn’t come yet.

Xu Ling and Yinuo called out, and Xu's father was startled when he saw Xu Ling coming in, and glared at her fiercely. Stepmother Xu glanced at her with contempt in her eyes.

Father Xu quickly introduced, “This is my daughter Xu Ling, and this is my good friend Xia Yinuo."

"Sit down, sit down, are you hungry? Ask the waiter to serve the food. I don't know when that kid will come!"

The other party's mother is chubby and seems quite enthusiastic.

Although Father Xu was born strong, he was still doing well. He said hurriedly, “No, wait a minute, it's still early, we are here early."

Xu Ling lowered his head, looked at his phone, and curled his lips. Yinuo elbowed her. Xu Lingcai raised his head and said reluctantly.

"Auntie, we are not hungry, please wait."

"It's just that little bastard from my family. You don't have to wait for him," Yang's father hurriedly called the waiter, "Waiter, serve the food."

Mother Yang looked a little anxious when she saw Father Yang calling the waiter.

"Lao Yang, wait a minute." Father Xu stopped Uncle Yang who was getting up, and said to the waiter who came in, “Wait a minute, there is still one person who is not here!"

The waiter smiled and nodded, and Yang's mother's expression softened.

It seems that there is a 90% chance that the other party is a mama's baby. Yinuo guessed.

"Old Xu, that bastard doesn't have to wait for him. He'll be late. Just let him have a few bites. Who told him to be late?"

Father Xu made excuses for the other party, “Xiao Yang must be busy with the company and is late. He is working, so we can't let him have nothing to eat? Wait a minute. Wait a minute."

"That's it. Wait another quarter of an hour. If it doesn't come, we'll eat first."

"OK."

Yinuo and Xu Ling looked at each other, said nothing, did not serve food, and did not eat. It was really embarrassing. Xu Ling was not willing to come, let alone cooperate and liven up the atmosphere. Yinuo was not the one who came here, and she didn't talk much. She didn't know what to say in this situation. Tea and drinks were not allowed, so Yinuo asked the waiter for a glass of boiled water and drank it slowly.
