I'm terminally ill, and all they give me is a matchmaking system?

Li Jie's voice came from behind.

Li Meng's footsteps finally came to a stop.

She lowered her head nervously, remained silent for a moment, and then finally turned to look at Li Jie.

"Alright... I'm willing to give you this chance, but if you can't stand me halfway through, I hope you can tell me directly and not hurt me."

Li Meng is clearly still recovering from the trauma of the previous incident.

Li Jie nodded knowingly, choosing to respect Li Meng's decision.

Under Lin Tian's arrangement, the two went on another date.

Before making the arrangements, Lin Tian also asked Li Jie and Li Meng for their opinions.

They both agreed to go to the movies together.

Lin Tian followed behind the two of them. Li Jie was clearly trying to be patient, but in order not to let the girl notice anything amiss, he tried his best to keep up.

However, the two encountered a problem while watching the movie.

Li Jie thought that girls should like watching cute cartoons or sentimental romance movies, but his gaze always couldn't help but drift towards the science fiction movies next to him.

Unexpectedly, Li Meng raised her hand and pointed to the science fiction film in front of her without saying a word.

"How about this?"

Li Jie was taken aback, then turned to look at Li Meng: "Are you sure? You won't get bored watching this?"

"No." Li Meng shook her head, a bright smile on her chubby little face. "I actually quite like sci-fi movies. Don't you like them? If you don't like them, we can watch something else..."

Li Meng frantically pointed to the others...

This is what Li Jie just thought was the kind of thing that Li Meng, as a girl, liked to watch.

Li Meng even said, "I thought you liked watching sci-fi movies too. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so selfish in choosing what I wanted to watch. Watching other movies is fine too..."

"No! I really enjoy watching science fiction movies."

Li Jie immediately interrupted her and gestured to the ticket seller, "We need two tickets for this movie."

"Ok."

Lin Tian, ​​following behind the two, felt quite helpless as he watched them buy tickets to get popcorn and cola.

Good heavens, have they forgotten about him?

Lin Tian pursed his lips helplessly, then bought a movie ticket for the movie behind them from the ticket seller, bought a single-person meal, and followed them.

The movie opens.

Sitting in the darkness of the movie theater, Lin Tian could clearly see Li Jie and Li Meng sitting together, their shoulders occasionally touching, thanks to the light from the big screen.

Li Meng was engrossed in watching the science fiction film.

Li Jie was instantly immersed in it as well.

Lin Tian sat in the back, but he had no interest in the movie and was just thinking in his mind.

Neither Lin Tian nor Li Jie had expected that Li Meng would like science fiction movies, which was completely different from Li Jie's expectations.

Lin Tian also saw Li Meng's kindness and thoughtfulness; she didn't want to force Li Jie to do things he didn't like. Isn't the essence of a relationship—mutual compromise—for it to last?

As the movie drew to a close, Li Jie's gaze towards Li Meng became increasingly intense.

He discovered that this woman's inner world was far richer than her outward appearance suggested.

The movie ends.

The lights came on, and Li Meng's smile deepened slightly: "I knew this movie would be good! What do you think?"

"nice!"

Li Meng turned her head and met Li Jie's suddenly affectionate dark eyes.

I don't know if it's shyness or something else.

Her fair face flushed instantly, and before Li Jie could react, she immediately stood up and was about to run outside.

Lin Tian immediately moved closer: "Still watching? Hurry up and chase after them!"

Li Jie then got up and quickly chased after him.

Lin Tian took out his phone and quietly started doing something.

On the other side, Li Jie chased after her and, seeing Li Meng leaving, immediately reached out and grasped her hand to grant her permission.

"Where are you planning to go with all this socializing?"

"I……"

Li Jie looked at Li Meng and offered, "We've seen the movie. Are you planning to go get it next? I'll go with you."

Li Meng was stunned.

Clearly, she hadn't considered that Li Jie would choose to continue the relationship with her.

Her thoughts drifted away, and she pursed her lips, saying, "I'm thirsty, how about we go get something to drink?"

"Okay, let's go!"

Li Jie grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward.

When Lin Tian came out, he almost couldn't keep up.

He remained seated in the next seat, listening intently to their conversation.

Upon arriving at the coffee shop, Li Meng glanced at the food and finally settled her gaze on the Americano next to her.

She had heard from the older women that drinking iced Americano could reduce swelling.

The moment the thought crossed her mind, Li Meng ordered an iced Americano from the waiter next to her, while Li Jie ordered a strawberry sundae.

Li Meng didn't notice Li Jie ordering the sundae.

When the iced coffee arrived, she only took one sip before her expression changed drastically.

But the next second, when Li Jie's strawberry sundae arrived, he didn't say anything and silently switched places with her drink.

Li Meng was taken aback.

"you……"

"I often drink iced Americano, and I'm more used to this taste. The strawberry sundae is for you."

A simple explanation silenced all of Li Meng's doubts.

She could only nod awkwardly, and after taking a bite of her strawberry sundae, she suddenly remembered something and was about to say, "Hey, slurp..."

But when I looked up, I saw Li Jie already drinking coffee with a straw in his mouth.

He turned his head in confusion when he heard her voice.

He tilted his head, looking puzzled.

"what happened?"

Li Meng blushed and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing..."

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became tense.

But Li Jie knew what Li Meng was talking about.

He glanced at the straw he was biting, which still carried a faint scent of strawberry lip balm.

Sure enough, he was right; it really did smell like strawberries.

"Wait a minute, where do you want to go?"

"Actually, I... wanted to go to a concert, but it's too expensive..." Li Meng blurted out, then suddenly realized that what she said was not quite right. Worried that the other person would think of her as a bad girl, she changed the subject: "It's okay, I'll go with you."

"A concert? Whose concert do you want to see? I'll go ask my friend..."

Li Jie took out his phone to contact his friend.

But Li Meng refused, saying, "No, thank you! It's too much trouble for you."

"It's okay, I..."

Li Jie was about to speak.

Lin Tian walked over from the side with a big smile and said, "I have some good news for you two. I happen to have two concert tickets here."

This is what he obtained by checking the panel when he came out just now.

The affection level between the two has reached 60%.

Lin Tian was naturally happy.

This is the singer that Li Meng likes.

Lin Tian was naturally delighted to have overheard these words while sitting nearby.

He quickly took out his phone and handed it to the two of them.

Lin Tian's actions surprised and delighted Tong Jie.

He stood up and hugged Lin Tian tightly, his joyful voice ringing in Lin Tian's ears.

"Dude, thank you! I finally understand why you insisted I be with her. This girl... is definitely someone I like. Thank you!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, mission complete!]
