In the golden age, the beginning involves controlling Zhu Suosuo.

"Peach, I've arranged two blind dates for you. Take a look," Xue Sumei said.

"What? Mom, why are you arranging this again? I already said I don't want to kiss," Yang Tao said softly.

“You’re already thirty and still don’t have a boyfriend. Other women your age already have kids who are several years old. What do you want to do? Grow old alone?” Xue Sumei was very angry.

Who? She was just right, wasn't she?

When I was little, I liked to use the traditional Chinese age system (虚岁), which made me look older and more mature.

Now that I'm older, I especially dislike using the traditional Chinese age system (or the Chinese age system for determining one's age).

Even if it's just a year older, the difference is still huge.

"Mom, it's not that I don't want to look, I just want to take it slow," Yang Tao quickly explained.

Her mother is in poor health and is very worried because she is old and still unmarried.

If she angers her mother again, Yang Tao won't be able to forgive herself.

Her parents divorced, and she was raised by her mother from a young age.

"Still slow? You're already old this year, both by the Chinese age reckoning and by the lunar calendar. You still want to be asked if you're slow?"

Xue Sumei said, "Taozi, if you want to take your time looking, Mom promises you, no problem."

But you have to promise Mom you'll still go on those blind dates, okay? What if you meet the right person?

Now that things have come to this point, what else can Yang Tao say?

“Okay!” Yang Tao nodded.

Hearing her daughter agree, Xue Sumei was instantly much happier.

“Peach, don’t be so resistant. Your Aunt Wang said that Xiao Ma is good-looking, a good man, and has a good reputation among the neighbors,” Xue Sumei said.

“Okay.” Yang Tao nodded again.

Yang Tao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Mom, what did you just say? He's coming to my workplace?"

“Yes, you’re so busy, you have to work every day. Xiao Ma just happened to have time, so I had him go directly there,” Xue Sumei said.

“But Mom, I’m at work. It would be bad if my boss saw me like this,” Yang Tao said.

"What's there to be afraid of? Just treat him like a customer. Your boss won't be watching him. Don't worry."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Tao held her phone, feeling somewhat dizzy.

She's only 18, and her family keeps urging her to go on blind dates. Is she really going to never get married?

After half an hour.

After finishing his coffee, Lin Yi returned to the hotel.

I was planning to go back and get a charger and data cable so I could go out and have some fun, but then I encountered something quite interesting.

Yang Tao was attending to a customer when she saw an ordinary-looking man walking towards her.

"Hello, you must be Yang Tao?"

"Yes, sir, how can I help you?" Yang Tao said immediately with a smile.

"My name is Ma Hongshan, you can just call me Xiao Ma. I'm here for a blind date," Xiao Ma said.

"You are……"

Yang Tao instantly understood. No wonder they said Xiao Ma was handsome. He had an ordinary appearance and a square face, which was exactly what made him handsome.

Yang Tao was a little embarrassed, but smiled and nodded, "Hello, hello."

Xiao Ma said, "Yang Tao, I thought you were really nice the moment I saw you. Can I treat you to dinner?"

"Ah...no need, no need," Yang Tao quickly refused.

Eating right after arriving? She's clearly not used to it. Isn't this a bit too direct?

"You are welcome."

Xiao Ma said, "I know a really good restaurant, let's go try it."

"How about we split the bill for dinner?"

"..."

Yang Tao was speechless. Wasn't it him who insisted on treating people to dinner?

Now you want us to split the bill? What are you thinking?

Yang Tao smiled and declined, "Really, no need, Mr. Ma. I have to work, I really don't have time."

After saying that, Yang Tao left without waiting for Xiao Ma to stop her.

Xiao Ma was somewhat disappointed and had no choice but to turn around and leave.

After leaving, Yang Tao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xiao Ma didn't bother her.

"What kind of people are these? They want to split the bill for the first meal they meet. Is this what it means to be frugal? This is clearly just being stingy." Yang Tao was speechless.

This blind date was a particularly bad experience for her.

"Did the matchmaker tell you? These are all the matchmaker's subtext," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Yang Tao was startled, not knowing when Lin Yi had appeared beside her.

Yang Tao asked, "What was the subtext of what the matchmaker said?"

Lin Yi said with a smile, "The matchmaker said this child is good at managing money, but he's stingy."

This child has a lucky appearance, but is chubby;

This kid is a potential star, even if he has no car, no house, and no savings;

This child is honest and dutiful, but he doesn't have many redeeming qualities.

This child is outspoken, which means he has low emotional intelligence and doesn't know how to speak properly.

This kid has a good, stable job, but that doesn't mean the income is high.

Yang Tao was initially quite upset, but after hearing Lin Yi's explanation, she suddenly burst out laughing.

"Your explanation is really vivid," Yang Tao said with a smile.

Thinking about it carefully, it really is true.

Lin Yi asked curiously, "You're so beautiful, why do you still need to go on blind dates?"

"Yes." Yang Tao nodded and said, "There's no other way, my family requires it, so I have to meet them."

However, Lin Yi said she was pretty, which made Yang Tao very happy.

Lin Yi said, "You're so young, why are you in such a hurry to go on blind dates?"

“I’m already married, I’ll be getting married around the New Year. I’m not young anymore, I’m almost thirty,” Yang Tao said.

Sure enough, the more a girl cares about her age, the happier she is when praised for looking young.

Now that someone is praising Yang Tao for looking young, she's happier than anyone else.

"What? Impossible, I don't believe it." Lin Yi said incredulously, "When we were walking together, I thought you were my sister."

"Sister? I'm old enough to be your older sister. I'm obviously older than you."

Yang Tao laughed and said, "Mr. Lin, you really know how to talk! I wonder how many girls you've charmed?"

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "You're wrong about that. I rarely coax girls; they're usually the ones who coax me."

Peach, do you think all girls these days are so superficial?

"Just because I'm handsome, you're all clinging to me like this? It's not my fault I'm handsome."

"Pfft~"

Yang Tao was amused and burst out laughing.

This Lin Yi is not only handsome, but also a goofball.

Lin Yi is so narcissistic and funny.

Lin Yi's narcissistic remarks immediately amused Yang Tao.

This Lin Yi is really interesting.

After a while, Yang Tao stopped laughing and couldn't help but say, "Lin Yi, aren't you being a bit too narcissistic?"

"Is not it?"

Lin Yi laughed and said, "I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going out for a walk."

"Okay, get out."

Lin Yi took the charger and wandered around the area, discovering that there were indeed quite a few interesting places.
