Chapter 180 - 180: Down
“Yeah, in the eyes of others, she might not be considered outstanding, just an ordinary girl. Her personality is easygoing, but in my eyes, she’s the best,” He Ming said, his eyes filled with indulgence.
Hu Shanshan suddenly felt envious of the girl he was talking about.
She thought he must really love that girl because from the moment he entered until now, he hadn’t paid much attention to her. He probably didn’t even know what she looked like.
In his eyes, there was only the girl he liked. He mentioned being a playboy in the past, but now that he had found someone he liked, he was devoted.
She really wanted to see what the girl looked like. But they weren’t married yet, so she still had a chance, right?
“The girl Brother He likes must be the luckiest,” Hu Shanshan’s eyes were full of admiration.
“You’ll also meet your true prince charming,” He Ming reassured with a smile.
“Yeah… Brother He, rest assured, I’ll go back and tell Auntie that we’re not a suitable match,” Hu Shanshan’s smile was a bit bitter. After all, she suffered a setback on her first blind date.
She was really unwilling. She had always been considered a beauty by everyone, and many people pursued her. She just hadn’t found the right person.
Originally, she looked down on blind dates, but her mother used both hard and soft tactics to convince her to come.
At first sight of him, she knew he was the right person. It felt right—his demeanor, his eloquence—she was attracted to him.
Little did she know that he would mention having someone he liked. It seemed he genuinely cared. When He Ming heard Hu Shanshan say this, his eyes were filled with gratitude, and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He glanced at his watch. It was almost time. He needed to go find Ye Xiaomeng. Due to Gu Shaoting’s amnesia, he hadn’t had the time to see her.
What he didn’t know was that the scene of his blind date was already observed by Ye Xiaomeng. It seemed like his plan to pursue his girl might not go too smoothly.
was a bit puzzled. While shopping, Ye Xiaomeng had been cheerful, but now she seemed somewhat silent, as if something had upset her.
What made it even more confusing was that she had ordered a lot of dishes, and the boiled fish was requested to be extremely spicy. It was outrageous.
Shu Pan quickly stopped the waiter, asking them to bring the boiled fish with a normal level of spiciness, not too much.
“Xiaomeng, what’s wrong? You were fine while shopping just now. How did you suddenly change so much?” Shu Pan was a bit worried, finding her transformation too abrupt.
“Oh, nothing. Just feeling a bit emotional. All crows under the sky are black,” Ye Xiaomeng said in a low and somber voice, with what seemed like teardrops glistening at the corners of her eyes.
Shu Pan looked at her in confusion, feeling a bit unable to keep up with her thoughts.
“It’s okay; I’m starving. I’m going to eat a hearty meal,” Ye Xiaomeng suddenly reverted to her carefree self.
“Alright,” Shu Pan nodded.
Soon, dishes were brought to the table one after another. Ye Xiaomeng picked up her chopsticks and began eating hastily.
She ate quickly, disregarding whether the food was too hot for her mouth.
“Xiaomeng, something is bothering you,” Shu Pan put down her chopsticks, speaking with certainty.
Ye Xiaomeng remained silent, burying her head in eating the fish. Finally, seeing Shu Pan looking anxious, she couldn’t help but say, “There’s really nothing serious. Don’t worry. There’s nothing that can hurt me right now. I just suddenly feel a bit sentimental.”
Ye Xiaomeng didn’t tell Shu Pan about He Ming’s situation, to avoid unnecessary speculation. After all, it was a futile pursuit..
