King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

Upon seeing this sentence, Ye Lan knew that Xu Zhiqiang's inferiority complex was beginning to take hold.

He was very pessimistic about everything. In his words, if I can avoid intense joy, then naturally there will be no sorrow.

Ye Lan continued typing, "It's okay, bro. Even though you're fat, have dark skin, and aren't very tall, you still have a lot of good qualities."

Xu Zhiqiang: "For example?"

Ye Lan: ........... (These are all advantages)

Xu Zhiqiang was completely stunned. "Godfather, please stop joking with me. My mind is really in a mess right now, and I don't know what to do."

"Go meet them, the worst outcome is that they'll dislike you anyway."

"Then you have to come with me. I don't have the courage to see him alone."

Send me your location.

Xu Zhiqiang then sent a location.

Ye Lan immediately took a taxi there.

He agreed to accompany Xu Zhiqiang, not entirely for Xu Zhiqiang's sake.

Based on his understanding of Xu Zhiqiang, there was a 90% chance that the latter would back down and stand the other party up.

This is extremely impolite behavior.

The other party might get angry and renege on their promise to use the building's screen advertising for their promotion.

Building screen advertising is an important part of Xueyao Milk Tea's expansion.

Ye Lan didn't want to just give it all away for nothing.

Besides that, the old woman surnamed Wang only hoped that Xu Zhiqiang could meet her granddaughter. As for whether it would happen, it would depend on the granddaughter's attitude.

These are all just wishful thinking on Mrs. Wang's part.

Even if the two don't end up together, Xu Zhiqiang can say that the other party has too high standards and doesn't think much of him, pushing all the problems onto the other party.

After all, Grandma Wang thought highly of Xu Zhiqiang; otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to introduce her granddaughter to him.

The taxi drove at a leisurely pace on the busy road. About half an hour later, with the driver slamming on the brakes, the vehicle came to a smooth stop at the entrance of the "Happiness Lane" residential area.

At the entrance of the residential compound, Xu Zhiqiang was wearing a light blue suit. His round belly caused the second button of the suit to be taut, as if it would burst out at any moment.

Ye Lan was shocked and, instead of facing him directly, moved to his side.

"Oh, you just bought this suit, it looks so formal," Ye Lan said with a smile, touching the tag on the back of her suit jacket.

Xu Zhiqiang pursed his lips and quickly stuffed the tag back in. "Don't touch it. If you knock it off, it'll be a disaster."

"No way, bro, you're not planning to return the suit after the blind date, are you?"

"That's clever. This suit costs over a thousand yuan. I can't bear to spend that much."

Ye Lan had absolutely no idea how to complain about Xu Zhiqiang's stinginess.

"So, where did Grandma Wang's granddaughter ask you to meet her?" Ye Lan put her hands in her pockets and shrugged.

"Starry Night Cafe".

"Shall we go?"

"go!"

.......

The Starry Night Cafe is incredibly colorful, with a dazzling array of gemstones of all colors embedded in the walls, reflecting countless neon lights under the illumination.

The entrance is also decorated with an "n"-shaped door frame woven from flowers, with bright petals and red stamens.

Upon seeing the setup and decorations, Xu Zhiqiang immediately felt discouraged, his legs feeling like lead, unable to move forward another step.

Just as Ye Lan was about to walk in, Xu Zhiqiang chickened out.

He grabbed Ye Lan's shoulder and then ran to a corner.

"What are you doing? Whether it's good or bad, we have to meet him." Ye Lan was a little confused about what Xu Zhiqiang wanted to do.

Xu Zhiqiang's heart rate had soared to 130, and the thumping sound echoed in the narrow corridor, clearly indicating that he was extremely nervous.

This scene terrified Ye Lan. Xu Zhiqiang was already overweight, and with his heart rate soaring so high, Ye Lan was afraid that he would suddenly die on the spot.

"Hey bro, it's just meeting a girl, why are you so nervous?"

Xu Zhiqiang felt his knees go weak and his voice trembled, "Okay, godfather, you go in first and investigate. If the other person is average-looking, or even ugly, then you can call me in. If he is good-looking, just pretend I don't exist."

Xu Zhiqiang has been insecure since childhood due to his obesity, and the failure of his first relationship has led him to develop a strong aversion to women.

Especially for pretty girls.

Let alone a blind date, even a glance on the street would make him want to bury his head in his pants.

Ye Lan sighed and gently patted the other person's shoulder, "Then I'll go scout ahead for you and clear out any obstacles. If things don't look good, we'll just pack up and run."

Xu Zhiqiang clasped his hands in gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, godfather. I will repay you even if I have to be your slave in my next life."

"Forget about the next life, you can be a cow or a horse in this life!"

...........

Ye Lan walked into the Starry Night Cafe alone and was immediately shocked by the scene before her.

All the people coming and going were girls; there wasn't a single boy.

Moreover, all these girls were dressed in Lolita fashion, and each of them had exquisite makeup and beautiful appearances, like princesses from a fairy tale.

Although Ye Lan didn't know much about this circle, she had heard people say that among the three major fashion subcultures, Lolita fashion was the most expensive, with dresses costing tens of thousands of dollars.

His gaze remained fixed on the number plate on the coffee table, because Xu Zhiqiang had told him before he came in that Grandma Wang's granddaughter was sitting at coffee table number seven.

Ye Lan's gaze was like a high-precision camera, constantly scanning the number plates on the coffee table.

We quickly found coffee table number seven.

A girl dressed in a white Lolita wedding dress sat in that spot, slowly twirling a coffee spoon in her hand, the pure white cream swirling and outlining the brown coffee.

Her overall demeanor was noble and serene, in no way inferior to Lin Xueyao's.

Her long, jet-black hair reached her waist and was casually loose. Her fingers had well-defined bone structure. What puzzled Ye Lan was that this girl had manicures, but her thumbs were wearing nail polish.

Wearable nails are a type of nail art that can be easily removed or put on, making them very convenient to use.

Ye Lan only learned about all the strange little things girls have after she started living with Lin Xueyao.

Because Lin Xueyao is the same, all her other fingers have beautiful rhinestone nail art, except for her thumb which is a pierced nail.

Ye Lan asked him once out of curiosity, and the latter's answer left him speechless.

"Because the thumb is used for playing games, it would be difficult to operate the phone screen if you were getting your nails done."

Without a doubt, the girl in front of me also likes to play mobile games, and she's most likely playing Honor of Kings.

why?

Because when playing PUBG, you can't rely solely on your thumb.

Ye Lan walked past without making a sound, and a familiar profile came into his view.

"Holy crap, it's you!?"
