Chapter 861: The Blind Date

Chapter 861: The Blind Date

Xiang Wai didn't think she'd one day sit in a cafe and wait for her blind date like a fool. But the reality is always bitter. Today was her downfall. She was actually sitting in a cafe waiting for her blind date like a fool against her own wishes. All because she was too emotionally excited and agreed to this blind date, now she had to suffer from the consequences.

For the umpteenth time, she slapped her mouth as she muttered, "Why talk so much? Couldn't you have stayed silent?"

The truth was, with Zhai Yanjun around, she was never herself. How could she control herself? How could she wait for a moment and think about it carefully before agreeing? Wasn't it all because Zhai Yanjun was around that she agreed to this blind date?

She really felt exasperated thinking about how much it affected her to see Zhai Yanjun even now. They broke up over a year ago but why was she still so affected by his presence? Was it really so difficult to untangle herself from this love?

That love wasn't even like a fairytale, then why was she so obsessed with it?

Why was she so obsessed with Zhai Yanjun?

Xiang Wai let out a breath before picking up the cup of coffee to drink it. She didn't exactly dress up for the blind date. She definitely wasn't dressed to impress. More like, she came out to hang out with a friend. Because from the beginning, she really didn't take this blind date seriously.

Suddenly, a man came to sit in front of her and when he looked at her face, he stiffened. Xiang Wai looked at his getup and frowned. He looked like a suspicious person wearing that cap and mask on his face.

She could see that he wanted to actually get up and run but stopped before he opened his mouth to ask in an unnatural voice, "Fai sent you for the blind date?"

Xiang Wai could tell he was purposely changing the timber of his voice when he spoke but she still nodded honestly.

"Damn!" he cursed out when he saw her nodding.

Before she could think about why he reacted this way, he took off his mask making her expression turn ugly. Who else would it be if not her 'old acquaintance?

"Huang Shuyi! Why are you here?" she asked.

"I want to know the same, sis! Same!" he replied. "Why does it have to be you? Why? There are billions of girls in this world. Why do I have to run into you? Wasn't the curse of my school life enough? Why am I still getting

paired with you?"

"You? You think it's a curse to be paired with me?"

"No offense, you're a friend. But as a girlfriend, you're a big no! You and I'd have ended up together back in school if we were meant to be. Why wait for so long?"

"Why do I think you're purposely offending me?" she inquired. "You think I loved having you as my deskmate? Wasn't I also suffering? Seeing your lazy ass only annoyed me!"

Huang Shuyi scoffed, "As if you're any less annoying." He held his head, "Why am I so unlucky? I thought my cute little brother is asking me to go on a blind date and he must have chosen a beauty. But what happened? I ended up with this freak again!"

Xiang Wai picked up the vase on the table and almost smashed it on his head. But she held herself back as Hyson's words rang in her mind when he said that Xiang family members loved to solve things with fists since none of them were good with words. She didn't want to prove him right even if he was right! So, she very gently put the vase back on the table.

What she didn't know was that, on another table, hiding behind the menu, Hyson actually breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her putting down the vase. He was sweating for his brother Shuyi right now.

He actually wasn't sitting that far from them and could hear their voices and from that, he also figured out that they already knew each other which was a surprise. Not a good surprise though since they really seemed like they were ready to fight. He suddenly realized that he chose the wrong candidate, maybe he should have called Fang Yiwen instead of Huang Shuyi.

Besides, it wasn't like he was really looking for a blind date for Xiang Wai so whoever came wasn't a big deal. Why did his brother Yiwen have work these days? Alas!

Taking deep breaths, Xiang Wai calmed herself down and faced Huang Shuyi, "I'm a freak?"

"Kind of," he replied. "I mean, I love you, my freaky deskmate. But not in that way." He sighed to himself, "How do you even know Fai? He is such a cute little brother of mine. How did he end up getting to know someone like you?"

"Does it matter?" she asked.

"It does," he replied. "I have to know or else, how will I understand why he wants to find a partner for you? How are you related to him?"

"He is family," replied Xiang Wai shocking Huang Shuyi, and even Hyson momentarily lost his composure when he heard

that.

A smile spread on Hyson's lips as he nodded, "Since you called me family, I will put more effort into this." Originally, he was solely doing it for his 'dumb' brother named Zhai Yanjun but now that Xiang Wai called him family, he thought that doing this is even more of his responsibility. How can he let two dumb people escape each other?

Since Zhai Yanjun and Xiang Wai are both dumb, they should stay together instead of harming any third party. Of course, he was very serious when he thought of this. No matter how much he argued with Xiang Wai, it was only because it was fun to do so. She was Raelle's sister but so different from her. How could he not find his thrill in this?
