Love That Extends Life

Confucius Temple Night Market in the afternoon.

A man in his thirties came to Wu Yanzi's stall.

"Sister Wu Yanzi, do you still recognize me?" the man who came at this time shouted.

There was no one buying things at the stall at this time, so Wu Yanzi was talking to Aunt Zhao next to her. When Wu Yanzi heard someone calling her, she looked up.

"You...Lü Zhenye!"

Wu Yanzi thought about it and recognized the man.

The man who came was called Lv Zhenye, and he was the first man Wu Yanzi had a blind date with. Although she had met Li Yongqiang before, it was not a blind date. It was just that Aunt Li Fang asked her to go to her house, so she saw Li Yongqiang and talked to him for a few words. But after she met Lv Zhenye on a blind date, she told Aunt Sun that she didn't want to date a boyfriend for the time being because she didn't have a stable job and had to finish her studies.

"Why is Lu Zhenye here at the street stall..." Wu Yanzi thought to herself. She was thinking about what happened more than ten days ago.

Aunt Sun, the tenant of the house, talked to her about something half a month ago. Aunt Sun said that there was a good man in their farmer's market, who had a house in the city and a local hukou, so she wanted to introduce him to Wu Yanzi and arrange a time to meet him. At that time, Wu Yanzi did not completely agree to the blind date, but she did not oppose it either. Finally, under Aunt Sun's persuasion, she made an appointment with the man to meet at Aunt Sun's house. On the third night of the appointment, the man came to Aunt Sun's house, and Wu Yanzi had to go into Aunt Sun's house under Aunt Sun's pull. The man's name is Lv Zhenye, 70 years old this year. He has a house of more than square meters in Qixia District on the outer ring road, and currently runs a seafood business in a farmer's market in Xuanwu District. Lv Zhenye is not good-looking and is tall and strong. He is not the type of boyfriend Wu Yanzi has in mind, so Wu Yanzi left after just a few words. The next night, Aunt Sun found Wu Yanzi again and asked her what her impression of Lv Zhenye was and whether they would continue to get along in the future. At that time, Wu Yanzi did not refuse directly. She wanted to give Aunt Sun some face, so she said that Lu Zhenye was a good person, but she did not have a stable job and did not want to date a boyfriend for the time being. Aunt Sun smiled at that time and told Wu Yanzi that when a woman reaches a certain age, she needs to have a family and a man to love her. As long as she and Lu Zhenye run the seafood business together, she will have a stable job.

"Could it be that Aunt Sun didn't tell Lu Zhenye that I don't have a boyfriend? Well, forget it, let me see what Lu Zhenye is doing here." Wu Yanzi thought to herself and looked at Lu Zhenye.

"Brother Lu, why are you here?" Wu Yanzi greeted politely.

"Sister Wu, you still remember me. Hehe..." Lv Zhenye smiled and walked towards where Wu Yanzi was standing. It seemed that he was not here to buy anything. "Ah, my parents helped me take care of the stall in the market today, so I came out for a stroll. By the way, I heard from Sister Sun that you were at the Confucius Temple Night Market, so I went over to see you."

Wu Yanzi sighed inwardly. It seemed that Aunt Sun did not make it clear to Lu Zhenye that she did not have a boyfriend, and Lu Zhenye found the Confucius Temple Night Market through Aunt Sun.

"Oh!"

Wu Yanzi just nodded. She didn't want to have too much conversation with Lu Zhenye. She just wanted Lu Zhenye to see her cold attitude and give up.

"Sister Wu Yanzi, it's not easy for you to be exposed to the wind and sun here. Oh, by the way, these are the fruits I just bought. I brought them to you to try." Lu Zhenye said as he handed over a bag of fruits.

Wu Yanzi did not accept the fruit, and immediately waved her hand to refuse.

"No, thank you for your kindness, I really don't want your fruit."

When Lu Zhenye saw that Wu Yanzi didn't accept the fruit, he felt a little disappointed. Although he was a rough man, he had been dealing with people in the market for many years, so he could still see other people's attitudes. However, he still forced a smile and said, "Sister Wu Yanzi, this is not too expensive, just some fruit. It's also my gift. Please accept it!"

Wu Yanzi saw that Lv Zhenye was still going to give her fruit, so she thought that she should talk it out, so she said, "Brother Lv, I don't know if Auntie Sun has told you that I still have to study for the university entrance exam and other things to deal with, so I won't have a boyfriend in the next two or three years. Brother Lv, you are a good person, and there are many good girls in society. I believe that Brother Lv can find your sweetheart soon!"

"Ah...this..."

Lu Zhenye was stunned. Sister Sun had not mentioned what Wu Yanzi said to him. Sister Sun just told him to persist, because girls need time to woo and coax, so persistence is victory. However, Wu Yanzi's attitude was clear, which was equivalent to refusing to date or make friends. How should he choose?

"Humph! A girl who sells things on the street should have high standards. How many men would want to marry her with her dark appearance? If I hadn't been so discerning in the first few years, I would have married and had children long ago. Forget it, I'm also a respectable man, so it's okay if we don't date. We'll see what happens in the future! I want to see who would want a dark girl like you!"

Thinking this in his mind, Lu Zhenye took back the bag of fruit he had handed over.

"Ah, Sister Wu Yanzi, now I know what Sister Sun didn't tell me. Okay, then I won't disturb you from selling things. See you later! Hehe..." Lu Zhenye waved at Wu Yanzi with a sneer, then turned and left.

Seeing that Lv Zhenye left tactfully, Aunt Zhao came over and said, "Yanzi, what did Old Sun think of introducing him to you? With his attitude, a woman would never marry him even if she jumped into a fire pit!"

"Haha...Aunt Zhao, what you said is really funny." Wu Yanzi chuckled.

"Haha! Yan Zi, if you ask me, your classmate Chu Yunhao is pretty good. This guy has good looks and a diploma. As for the house and car in the future, as long as he works hard, he will have them slowly over time, don't you think?" Aunt Zhao said while looking at Wu Yanzi's expression. When she saw the change in Wu Yanzi's expression, she said it all at once.

"Aunt Zhao, you...people are ignoring you!" Wu Yanzi immediately turned around and said with a pout.

"Haha, okay, I won't say any more. Ah, Yan Zi, someone comes to buy something!" Aunt Zhao said and returned to her stall.

After a while, a man wearing a hat approached Wu Yanzi's stall and his eyes stayed on the stall.

"Ah, big brother, take a look and see if there's anything you like. These are the small ornaments I wove and made myself, and those are the dolls I bought wholesale."

"Well! Girl, I want that Bald Qiang!" The man said, pointing at the puppet Bald Qiang on the stall.

"Ok!"

Wu Yanzi handed the stuffed puppet Bald Qiang that she had bought from the purchase to the man and said, "This is ten dollars!"

"Well, here's the money!"

When Wu Yanzi took the money, she saw the face of the man who bought the puppet Bald Qiang, and she recognized him immediately.

He is the bald man who grabbed the stall space last time!

The bald man took the puppet Bald Qiang he bought, smiled at Wu Yanzi and left.
