Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua looked at the message Gu Wenqing sent, her expression dazed for a moment.

There was an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"Sister Wenqing, I'm still the same as always. How about you?"

Wang Xiaohua forcibly suppressed the wild thoughts in her heart and hurriedly replied to the message.

"Are you free now? I'll give you a voice call."

Gu Wenqing sent such a message.

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly replied:

"I am."

Before long, Gu Wenqing initiated a voice call.

Wang Xiaohua answered and hurriedly asked:

"Sister Wenqing, what's up with this matter?"

Gu Wenqing said:

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that my family has been urging me to go on blind dates recently. Sigh, it's very annoying. You know I'm not good at those things. But I also know my parents mean well. After all, my age is what it is. A woman's value in the marriage market declines with age. You should understand this even better than I do..."

"Sister Wenqing, you mean..."

Wang Xiaohua's heart stirred slightly.

Gu Wenqing hurriedly said:

"I don't understand men very well. I have the profiles of a few blind date candidates. You're a reliable person, so I wanted you to help me take a look and see which one is more suitable for me."

"Oh, oh... then send them over for me to see."

Before long, Gu Wenqing sent over several blind date candidates' profiles.

She also said:

"These were all picked by my parents for me. I haven't met them yet. Sigh, if I had known earlier, I would have dated someone before, so I wouldn't have to go through the trouble of blind dates now. Strangers sitting face-to-face putting conditions on the table, using this method to discuss marriage... honestly, I feel quite resistant to it in my heart..."

"Indeed, blind dates are about laying out conditions first and then talking feelings, while free love is about talking feelings first and then laying out conditions..." Wang Xiaohua replied to Gu Wenqing while flipping through the blind date candidates' profiles she had sent over.

She discovered that the blind date candidates Gu Wenqing sent over were all high-quality men with high education and high income.

Among the five profiles, three were Tsinghua alumni, one was a Peking University graduate student, and the worst one was a Fudan University graduate student.

In terms of work, two worked at universities, one was a Central Selection Graduate, one was an Algorithm Architect at a major internet company, and one was pursuing further studies overseas.

The profiles also listed their parents' situations. All were respectable people with pensions in big cities — either Leaders or talents in academic research. The worst one's parents were high school teachers.

In terms of height and appearance, no faults could be picked. Not to say they were as handsome as male celebrities, but at least none were ugly. Their features were all regular, and their heights were all above 1.75 meters.

Wang Xiaohua looked at these profiles and suddenly laughed in relief.

At this moment, Gu Wenqing's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Xiao Hua, have you looked? These are the ones left after my parents screened them. There were many more. My parents either disliked their low education or disliked their height and appearance not meeting standards. The two of them are so picky, it left me speechless!"

Wang Xiaohua asked:

"Is there anyone among these who catches your eye?"

Gu Wenqing said:

"To tell the truth, it's just like that. Just looking at photos, without face-to-face contact, I don't know what they're like either."

Wang Xiaohua suggested:

"Why don't you meet all of them? Meet and chat first, then choose. You're so outstanding, you don't have to worry about not marrying out, so you can take it slow. There's no rush."

But Gu Wenqing said:

"How can I not rush? My parents are rushing, and I'm a bit anxious myself. I'm just afraid that the ones I like won't like me back. A woman being too outstanding sometimes becomes a shortcoming in the blind date market! Many men are afraid they can't control her, so they choose to marry down rather than choose an equally outstanding woman!"

Gu Wenqing's words were not false.

Her being able to say this showed her mind was still quite clear, and her self-positioning wasn't overly inflated.

Unlike those low-cognition women brainwashed by brain-dead idol dramas and extreme feminist rhetoric, who earn a monthly salary of three thousand yet demand their partner earn twenty thousand, and also demand they hand over their salary.

Wang Xiaohua said: "Sister Wenqing, let's not jump to conclusions so fast. Jumping to conclusions too early will only set limits on yourself. Better to meet first, then see how it feels."

Gu Wenqing nodded and also felt Wang Xiaohua's words made sense:

"Alright then. I'll make time later and go meet them one by one. You said, when men go on blind dates, what do they pay more attention to in women? Do they need to wear very heavy makeup?"

"No, absolutely not!" Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said. "Don't wear overly heavy or exquisite makeup to a blind date. You women might think wearing makeup to meet is the most basic respect for the other party, but in most men's eyes, being clean and tidy, not sloppy, and facing them with a bare face is the greatest respect."

"Is that so? Good thing I asked, otherwise I would have stepped in a pit!" Gu Wenqing suddenly changed the subject at this moment. "Right, how have you been recently? Have you found a partner? Listen to me, you should have walked out of that previous relationship by now. No matter how good the memories are, they're just memories. People always have to look forward!"

Wang Xiaohua smiled knowingly: "Sister Wenqing, thank you for your concern. I think I should have already started a new relationship."

"Already dating someone?" Gu Wenqing was stunned for a moment, then surprised. "You brat, you're dating and didn't tell me? My novel's plot might write until you get married and have kids. Hurry up and tell me, what's that girl's background? Is she very smart and pretty, to actually catch your eye, you brat!"

Wang Xiaohua didn't know how to put it for a moment.

"How to put it... can't say she's pretty. As for smart, that's even less the case. She's a bit silly, but silly in a cute way..."

Wang Xiaohua told Gu Wenqing about Zhang Ruoshui's situation:

"Her name is Zhang Ruoshui. She's a girl who graduated from a second-tier university. She used to work at my Eldest Sister-in-law's company. It was my Eldest Sister-in-law who set us up. At first, I actually had a bit of disdain for her silliness in my heart, but after getting along for this period, it feels okay."

Gu Wenqing sighed:

"I just said it, didn't I? You men, compared to an equal match, will choose to marry down! Looks like it'll be hard for me to find someone more outstanding than me. Forget someone more outstanding — even someone with equal conditions to me is hard to find!"

Then she also joked:

"Haha, if I'd known earlier I would've put you down for good, so I wouldn't have to go on a blind date now!"

Xiao Hua gave an embarrassed laugh:

"Even if you put me down there'd be no result, your parents would never look favorably on me."

"Haha, just kidding, I envy you and Li Jianjia's love, but I also know, someone like me isn't worthy of this kind of love……"

Gu Wenqing laughed it off, then hurriedly said:

"If you ask me that Zhang Ruoshui of yours is pretty good too, being stupid is good, if she's stupid she'll be completely obedient to you, will always admire you, will give you full emotional value!"
