Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 169 Online Dating Show
[How dare you! Doesn't reading novels count as reading books?]

To be fair, people who enjoy reading historical novels are actually quite good.

Historical novels also come in different tiers. The Ming and Song dynasties aren't very deep; they've been studied to death. If you really want depth, you have to look at the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

I only know one guy with this kind of depth, and he's also in Chengdu. The question is, does this girl herself have any depth?

"Sister, someone in the live chat knows a profound guy, and he happens to live in the same city as you."

"But he has serious doubts about your abilities."

"Why don't you tell me, do you usually like music, movies, poetry, essays, or philosophy, history, astronomy, physics, or semiconductors?"

“I…” The girl hesitated for a moment. She guessed that Zhang Zhe might ask more questions, so she had to choose one that she was most familiar with, otherwise she would be in trouble if she was stumped.

"I love music."

“OK, music, to be honest, I’m quite accomplished in it too.” Zhang Zhe chuckled.

"By the way, do you know how many movements the Pastoral Symphony has?"

"what?"

"Haven't you heard of Beethoven?" Zhang Zhe smiled. "Then do you listen to Bach? How many variations are there in the Goldberg Variations?"

"Um..." The girl couldn't hold back anymore: "I actually prefer domestic folk songs more."

"Really? So, do you prefer Zhou Yunpeng, Zhong Lifeng, or Wan Xiaoli?"

"..." The girl fell silent again, and after a moment said, "Brother Zhang, I was wrong, please stop teasing me."

"Haha, sorry." Zhang Zhe adjusted his emotions; he had been a bit pretentious just now.

Actually, these are all old tricks from when I was young. There was an article back then called "A Guide to Pretending to Be Artistic Youth," which explained it very clearly.

Showing off was secondary; Zhang Zhe wanted this girl to understand that deep communication wasn't necessarily suitable for her, since she herself lacked depth.

“I’m just giving you an example. In fact, having a deep conversation isn’t necessarily a good thing. First, it reflects your own shallowness, which may make you feel more and more inferior as you talk.”

"Secondly, when you really delve into a field, two people may be completely opposed. For example, if you both study philosophy, you like Hegel, while he likes Schopenhauer. In the end, it's better not to talk at all than to talk about it."

Now that the host has said that, I feel like she's putting on an act.

[Actually, I have money and want to find something different, but I don't know what to look for, so I started pursuing the spiritual world.]

To put it bluntly, she's 28 years old, but she still has the mentality of an 18-year-old student, desperately yearning for inner communication.

Adults shouldn't overthink things; just make do.

This type of person tends to become very conflicted as they get older.

"Teacher, I've actually thought about what you're saying before." The girl then confessed, "I've also met a guy who's like a white moonlight to me, but he's a bit too good, and I feel like I'm not good enough for him."

"When did it happen?"

"About 6 years ago."

"Oh, when you were in your early twenties?" Zhang Zhe shook his head and said, "Sister, to be honest, when I'm on a blind date and I hear the other person talking about their 'white moonlight' (ideal woman), regardless of gender, my advice is to run away as fast as you can."

"But since you're so conflicted, I can tell you what your biggest problem is right now."

"What is it?"

“It’s because you didn’t give your blind date a chance,” Zhang Zhe said calmly. “There are 50 men, and it’s impossible for them to be completely devoid of substance. The reason they only talked to you about food and drinks is because that’s all you’ve shown.”

"If you share some music with him occasionally, he'll be completely unmoved and just want to sleep with you. It's not too late to reject him then."

Zhang Zhe himself is like that. He and Xia Yi often share funny videos they come across. There are compilations of bad luck that make you lose good karma if you laugh, as well as bizarre animal series, and occasionally some historical explanations.

Blind dates are just the beginning of a relationship. If you want a high-quality marriage, not just a simple arrangement to live together, then you need to use your daily time to deepen your understanding of each other.

"Sister, you are a girl, and you actually have many hidden advantages in the dating market."

"If you take the initiative to chat, guys will usually respond, which is already a great start. If the genders were reversed and the guy shared something with the girl, he would probably get called out on Xiaohongshu immediately."

It seems like normal blind dates are becoming increasingly rare.

These days, blind dates are all about making wishes, for both men and women.

[Hey streamer, how about you help me make a connection? I feel like the people the matchmakers introduce me to aren't normal.]

[Yeah, yeah, it's getting boring watching you go on blind dates all the time. Could you organize a blind date event?]

[Please, Brother Zhang, teach everyone how to chat on a blind date! I'm begging you!]

"Thank you, teacher. I understand. It means we need to chat more, right? Like when we were dating." The girl was smart enough to understand Zhang Zhe's subtext.

“That’s right.” Zhang Zhe nodded comfortably; this girl wasn’t hopeless after all.

Although it's still difficult to get married.

Her requirements are best found in a romantic relationship.

However, due to the nature of her profession, she was surrounded by women, so she could only go on blind dates through matchmakers.

Therefore, the only way to fulfill her wish is to treat blind dates as chance encounters, chat more, and try one's luck.

In reality, free love is also a matter of luck, and given this girl's requirements, it's really hard to say which is better or worse.

"Teacher, I saw in the comments that people want you to host a blind date live stream."

"They've all flooded the screen with comments, are you deliberately ignoring them?"

"Hehe, guess what?" Zhang Zhe gave the camera a polite smile. Based on his many years of experience surfing the internet, online shows where men and women connect via live chat are either PK battles or arguments.

This is Little Red Book, so they're definitely arguing.

Actually, the viewers in the live stream initially thought that this girl in the cosmetic surgery industry would be criticized by Zhang Zhe, but they found that she was self-aware and there was nothing to criticize her for.

But someone has to fill the gap in the liveliness.

That's why they came up with the terrible idea of ​​having the audience sing on the microphone.

"Teacher, how about this, I'll sponsor a program." The girl on the live stream suddenly became very generous: "I've found so many matchmakers, but you're the first one who genuinely gave me advice."

"I have to say something."

"No need, no need." Zhang Zhe waved his hand, but this level of refusal was clearly not enough.

The woman told him a dozen seconds later:

"I placed 10 orders for that 1,000 yuan consultation form. Should that be enough?"

"That's enough, you're too kind." Zhang Zhe cupped his hands in thanks to the generous sponsor, "Since you've sponsored me, I'll help host 10 blind dates."

"However, if it's just one show all the time, people will get tired of it. I will intersperse it with other shows, and I will edit each recording into a video compilation. You can watch it on Douyin."

"Okay, teacher, I'll go offline now." The girl clearly got the answer she wanted: "Thanks, Brother Zhang."

"You're too kind," Zhang Zhe nodded.

After the other person disconnected, he looked at the comments for a while and found that everyone wanted to go back on the microphone.

"Okay, since there are more girls than boys on Xiaohongshu, boys should type '1' first. I'll take a screenshot of the comments after a five-second countdown. The first person to type '1' in the screenshot will go on mic."
