After leaving the restaurant, Lu Shiyi blocked Luo Qiang's phone number and then rode his electric bike back to the study hall.

Although her monthly income is not low, enough to make a down payment on a car, she would rather save money to make a down payment on a house.

She is currently living with her college classmate and friend. To be specific, she is staying at her friend's house but paying rent, which is only slightly cheaper than renting a place on the market.

My friend's family lives in Nanshi. They bought her a house right after she graduated. My friend felt that living alone was too lonely and cold. The people she was looking for to rent to were strangers. So she begged and pleaded with Lu Shiyi to live with her.

Lu Shiyi agreed, but on the condition that she would pay the rent. She didn't like owing favors to people, even her best friends.

After returning to the study hall, Lu Shiyi sat down and started eating immediately.

After a whole morning of fuss, I'm only now finally getting to eat. It's funny to think about it.

Her study room has two doors. After entering the main door, there is a small reception room. Passing through the reception room, there is another glass door that requires an access card. Only customers who have become members of hers can freely enter and exit through this door. After entering, you will be in the study room.

She was having dinner in the reception room, which was simply furnished with a desk, a vending machine, a sofa, and a table and chairs in black, white and gray tones, giving it a simple yet elegant feel.

She usually spends most of her time in the reception room at the museum.

In the afternoon, Lu Shiyi was sitting on the sofa when she heard a familiar voice from outside the door, "Shiyi, I'm bothering you again~"

Outside the door, an elderly man with white hair and a slender figure was walking in. Although he was quite old, he still looked radiant and full of energy.

Upon hearing the voice, Lu Shiyi happily went out to help him up, saying, "Grandpa Fu, look at what you're saying! I'm so happy you're here that I can eat several extra bowls of rice."

Then, a series of hearty laughs from the old man could be heard.

She met Grandpa Fu six months ago. If she hadn't been quick-witted and rushed over to pull Grandpa Fu, who was walking alone on the street, he might have been in a serious car accident.

It could be said that she saved Grandpa Fu's life, and the two became acquainted after that.

After getting to know him, Grandpa Fu genuinely liked Lu Shiyi, especially admiring his character!

Even though he has stepped back from the limelight and is enjoying his retirement, as a veteran who once dominated the business world, his eye for talent remains sharp, and he knows he won't misjudge people.

Of course, he never revealed his true identity to Lu Shiyi. In front of Lu Shiyi, he was just a kind, smiling, and playful old man.

So, whenever he has free time, the old man comes to Lu Shiyi's study room to sit and chat. One reason is that he wants to promote his eldest grandson, a 28-year-old single man who has never been in a relationship.

Grandpa Fu had barely sat down when he asked eagerly, "Eleven, what about what Grandpa told you last time? Have you thought it over?"

Lu Shiyi asked, a little puzzled, "Grandpa Fu, what happened last time?"

Upon hearing this, the old man became even more anxious, "It's about you and my eldest grandson!"

Lu Shiyi then remembered that Grandpa Fu had mentioned before that he wanted her to be his Fu family's granddaughter-in-law.

She took it as Grandpa Fu joking and teasing her, since she had never even met Grandpa Fu's eldest grandson.

Seeing that Lu Shiyi remained silent, Grandpa Fu quickly said, "Don't worry, although my eldest grandson is still alive, he's definitely fine. You saved me, and I would never force my good-for-nothing grandson on you."

Lu Shiyi forced a smile. "Grandpa Fu, that's not what I meant, it's just..."

"You don't need to worry about my eldest grandson either. He listens to me the most and absolutely trusts my judgment. He patted his chest and assured me that if you're willing, he can get the marriage certificate with you tomorrow!"

Yes, his eldest grandson is the unlucky guy who was coerced and lured by his grandfather into finally agreeing to get a marriage certificate with a strange woman, then angrily chased away the bodyguard and ate alone in a restaurant, only to have yellow juice splashed all over him.

Sure enough, after Grandpa Fu finished talking to his eldest grandson, he came to talk to Lu Shiyi.

Lu Shiyi was somewhat surprised to hear the words "getting a marriage certificate." "Grandpa Fu, I definitely trust you, but isn't getting a marriage certificate a bit too hasty..."

Although she hadn't known Grandpa Fu for long, she could tell from their interactions that Grandpa Fu's family had an excellent tradition and a very harmonious family. The character of the younger generation from such a family was beyond question.

But she hasn't met his eldest grandson yet.

"No rush, not at all. The most important thing in a relationship is meeting the right person, not how long it takes. Trust me, you two are definitely the perfect match for each other..."

Just as Grandpa Fu was speaking, Lu Shiyi received a WeChat message.

Mom: "Eleven, Mom knows your blind date fell through again. The woman who introduced you to the man has been telling everyone that Luo Qiang called you a jinx, saying that he lost his job because of your blind date. She said you're a jinx and that she's lucky she didn't like you."

"What kind of people are these? This time it's my fault for not vetting them properly. Don't worry, I've thoroughly investigated that person tomorrow, so they're definitely reliable!"

Lu's mother had anticipated that her daughter would not answer her call at this time, so she sent a message on WeChat directly.

When Lu Shiyi saw that she was going to be set up on another blind date, she was immediately overwhelmed. It wasn't that she hadn't resisted before; she had resisted the first time she was set up on a blind date.

However, the result of the resistance was that Lu's mother cried to Lu's father all night. She knew that it was not easy for her daughter to be alone outside, especially since she had set up a study room. She and Lu's father did not know anything about it and could not help her even if they wanted to. She had to rely on her daughter for everything. The thought of her daughter being tired and exhausted outside without a shoulder to lean on made her heart ache terribly.

So all she could do was try her best to find someone for her daughter to rely on, and blind dates were the only way she could think of.

Of course, all of this that Lu's mother tearfully recounted was something Lu's father had secretly told Lu Shiyi.

After reading the message, Lu Shiyi looked up at Grandpa Fu, who was looking anxious, and after thinking for a moment, replied with a message.

"Mom, there's no need for a blind date. I'm getting married tomorrow."

Mom: "What nonsense are you talking about? The other party hasn't sent you the information yet. I'll send it to you when I get it."

Lu's mother dismissed it all as her daughter talking nonsense to brush her off. How could she possibly get married tomorrow? Would she just grab a random stranger to marry?

Lu Shiyi pressed the lock screen button on her phone and looked at Grandpa Fu, "Then let's do it tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Fu was overjoyed. "We're getting our marriage certificate tomorrow? You agree?"

Lu Shi nodded.

She knew that if she continued to date so numbly, all she would end up with was someone to settle down with.

Rather than doing that, it's better to agree to Grandpa Fu's request. At least the family will be harmonious, and his character will be guaranteed.

When it comes to marriage, the partner is important, but the partner's family is equally important.

Upon receiving confirmation, Grandpa Fu was as happy as a child. He exclaimed joyfully, "To be honest, I heard you've been going on a lot of blind dates lately. I was so worried, afraid you'd be snatched away by some young man! Thank goodness..."

Lu Shiyi smiled wryly and said, "That's right, we were still looking at photos at noon today."

Then she told Grandpa Fu about the bizarre things that happened at noon that day.

Upon hearing this, the old man laughed until tears almost streamed down his face. "My son Eleven is still as agile as ever. I just wonder which young man was so unlucky. He probably didn't check the almanac before going out today, hahaha..."

"However, that young man did take the blame for you, so we should thank him sometime!"
