Unconventional blind dates

Chapter 2 Miss Bai, the Blind Date

Since he had nothing better to do, Lu Li simply downloaded the app.

With the support of a powerful 5G network, the app was downloaded in less than a minute.

A very strange icon appeared on the phone.

The icon has no text, a purple background, and a black silhouette of a human figure.

"It looks like a game..."

Lu Li glanced around.

There were students sitting together, as well as young urban professionals.

Yes, they are mostly male-female combinations.

Lu Li was all alone in the coffee shop.

"Tsk, why are they all adulterers?"

After muttering a couple of sentences, Lu Li remembered.

Oh, the coffee shop is having a promotion today, couples get half price on everything.

"..."

With a sigh, Lu Li opened the app.

First, there's the standard account registration process.

After registering and logging in, the next step is identity verification.

It seems this app also requires real-name registration.

Enter your name, date of birth, height, weight, income, and occupation.

Lu Li also uploaded selfies, property ownership certificates, vehicle registration certificates, and other documents.

After waiting for about five minutes, the app was approved.

Lu Li decided to see what kind of trouble this app had up its sleeve.

He was speechless after reading it.

"Tsk, there really is in-app purchase feature."

Yes, you need to pay extra to see female members' information.

You'll have to pay extra to contact them.

Although Lu Li wasn't exactly poor, he wasn't rich either, and money doesn't just fall from the sky.

"Um?"

Suddenly, I received a notification in the system that someone had requested a meeting.

It seems this dating app is a two-way street.

However, given my qualifications, it's normal for girls to contact me right after I passed the review.

However, this request to meet...

We really are from the same city.

Lu Li raised his hand and glanced at the time.

It is 3:30 pm now.

There's still time.

So he didn't hesitate much and clicked "agree" directly.

"Who could it be?"

This is also what angers him the most.

He cannot see the other person's information, but the other person can see all of his information.

However, since the other party was able to apply for a meeting, it means that they have passed the app's review.

It's definitely a woman, at the very least.

Moreover, Lu Li also set thresholds, meaning that those who did not meet his requirements could not apply at all.

His requirements were quite simple.

Height over 1.65 meters, well-proportioned figure, good looks, and good personality.

That's about it.

Well, that's as good as saying nothing at all.

Waiting is always boring.

Lu Li yawned.

Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep.

He didn't know how much time had passed when a slightly hoarse, warm, and soft voice suddenly woke him up.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lu Li?"

Lu Li opened his sleepy eyes and subconsciously looked up.

The result was that she met a pair of gentle eyes that seemed to be smiling but weren't.

The girl standing in front of him seemed very tall, making Lu Li, who was sitting, feel like he was looking up at her.

Her exquisitely tailored black suit jacket was open, revealing a white women's blouse with a tie that clung to the graceful curves of her voluptuous body.

Two smooth, rounded long legs were encased in form-fitting women's trousers, creating a fantastical reverie as she sat down, their curves pressing against each other to create a captivatingly voluptuous look.

Unfortunately, it was quickly blocked by the coffee shop tables.

Lu Li then turned his gaze to her face.

The girl's bare face was flawless—or perhaps she was wearing light makeup so that Lu Li couldn't tell.

She wasn't wearing a necklace or earrings, and her long, slender fingers were completely unadorned; she hadn't even done her nail polish or manicure.

Her long, straight black hair was simply tied into a side ponytail and draped over her chest.

This girl is so beautiful!

Moreover, with that magical aura and a perfect physique, he was right on Lu Li's target area!

"Ah, I am Lu Li."

Lu Li glanced around.

The café was dimly lit, and there were no other customers around.

It was already dark outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and the misty rain obscured the view a few meters away.

The raindrops were blown by the wind onto the French windows, making a crisp pattering sound.

It's raining heavily... and it's already dark.

Lu Li didn't care too much, since he had driven there anyway.

He shifted his gaze back to the girl opposite him, only to find that her ambiguous smile seemed to have been fixed on his face the whole time.

"Who are you?"

"My surname is Bai, Bai Muli." The girl opposite me smiled radiantly, seemingly in a very good mood.

"Miss Bai... hello." Lu Li glanced out the window; the rain was still pouring down.

"How did you get here? How about I drive you home later?"

Lu Li naturally brought up the fact that he owned a car.

Yes, he was tempted.

But he still had some doubts.

How could a girl of this caliber not have suitors?! Why would she go on blind dates?

There are generally only three possibilities when a pretty girl goes on blind dates.

First: He has serious personality flaws.

Second: The past was wonderful.

Third: Having too high a standard.

He needs to figure out the other party's situation before he can say anything.

"Okay, I came on foot."

Bai Muli didn't seem to care what kind of car he had, and didn't react much to the fact that he had a car.

She just kept looking at Lu Li, her eyes gentle.

Lu Li, on the contrary, felt a little uneasy.

This girl... why isn't she following the expected pattern?

"If you get back late, your aunt and uncle will probably worry, right?" Lu Li chuckled self-deprecatingly, then said casually, "My parents are home too. They just retired and are planning to go on a trip in a couple of days, but they don't know where to go. I wanted to come along, but they wouldn't take me. They don't seem to care at all if I get back late."

This is just another routine.

Lu Li first asked about the other party's family situation.

Then, casually, you can explain your family situation.

My parents are alive and well, and both have retirement pensions.

Furthermore, they prefer to enjoy their time as a couple and will not interfere with the lives of young couples in the future.

And the fact that they can travel indicates that their family is relatively well-off.

With just a simple sentence, Lu Li conveyed so much information and even posed a question, all very naturally.

"I have no parents," Bai Muli said naturally.

Lu Li was taken aback, then his expression turned serious. "I'm sorry."

Are both parents deceased...?

"It's alright, I don't mind." Bai Muli countered, "Mr. Lu, what are your hobbies?"

Asking about hobbies instead of income?

Didn't you even ask about the house?

It seems they intend to infer income from hobbies.

This is a master.

Lu Li became wary.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, if one's parents are really gone, it's normal to be realistic.

Moreover, the other party was very tactful, and Lu Li felt a sense of mutual respect, as if they were evenly matched.

"I occasionally go to the suburbs to play football with my friends. The place is quite remote, and the stadium is not cheap. To be honest, it's a bit of a rip-off."

"When I'm at home, I usually read books, exercise, and occasionally play games."

"Sometimes I like to eat something good. If there's a nice restaurant, I'll go and try their signature dishes."

"And you?"

Lu Li would give himself a 7 out of 10 for his answer.

In these three sentences, he made it clear that he likes sports and is not short of money.

Exercising at home indicates that you own a house, and a fairly large one at that.

The part about food clarifies that she doesn't look at the price when eating out, but only at the taste, indicating that she's not short of money.

The part about playing football not only shows that he is not short of money, but also that he will not work overtime until late at night, and will have time to spend with the other person.

Finally, they simply threw the problem back at them.

Nice!

Bai Muli's expression changed for the first time.

She tilted her head, her brows furrowing in apparent distress. "I don't have that many refined hobbies. I just like staying at home, reading books, watching dramas, anime, and novels, and chatting—that's fine with me... Am I too lazy?"

hiss--!

Lu Li gasped.

Damn it! Why is this girl hitting his target area so hard?!

That's right! Actually, what Bai Muli mentioned are his real hobbies!

This girl... is so good at getting along with people!

"No, no, actually this is the most authentic way you are, and I think it's great."

The more Lu Li looked at her, the more he liked her.

Having lived for twenty-eight years, this was the first time he had ever felt this way.

"Mr. Lu, may I ask you a question?" Miss Bai asked expectantly.

"Of course," Lu Li said calmly. "But let's make this clear first, there's no need to ask about smoking or drinking. I don't smoke, and I only drink in moderation. I don't drink baijiu (Chinese liquor)."

He decided to show the other person the best version of himself.

Cigarettes?

Go play with eggs!

Miss Bai nodded. "Mr. Lu, do you mind my flaws?"

Hmm? Drawbacks?

Lu Li was stunned for a moment.

What flaws might this girl have?

Orphan?

He definitely wouldn't mind.

Unemployed?

He wouldn't mind that.

Or is there some other problem?
