In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

The moving company was very professional; they finished moving everything by noon.

The large items, namely the refrigerator, television, and sofa, are all properly placed.

There's only a few things left that I need to organize myself.

Finally, wipe everything down, and the moving is complete.

After getting off work in the afternoon, Li Yuan called Chen Yong to his new residence.

My parents are helping with the cooking today, so I only need to buy some cooked food and bring some drinks.

It's Friday again, so tonight will be much more relaxing.

Li Yuan's parents also knew Chen Yong, and they ate together without much restraint.

At the dinner table, Chen Yong showered Li Yuan with praise.

Parents are naturally happy when their children are praised.

While they were talking, he also asked Chen Yong to help urge Li Yuan to think carefully about coming of age.

I'm thirty years old, or to exaggerate a bit, almost forty.

In the eyes of parents, this is already seriously outdated and has been left behind by others.

But in reality, who gets married earlier these days?

"I've already arranged with Aunt Shen to meet in the city this Sunday."

You promised, you definitely have to go on this blind date!

My mom remembers this really clearly.

Li Yuan nodded, and this time he did not refuse, agreeing to go and take a look.

After Li Yuan's parents finished eating, they sat down to watch TV.

At the dining table, Li Yuan and Chen Yong ate and chatted.

"Next week will be the end of this year's college entrance examination."

How are you planning to spend this summer?

"Are you going to meditate again?" Chen Yong asked.

During his holidays over the past few years, Li Yuan has mostly focused on spiritual practice and self-improvement.

On the one hand, I do want to improve.

Another point is that it saves money.

"Wow, it's already so fast! The college entrance exam is almost here, but it feels like I'm still in the middle of the semester."

During this holiday, I should go and participate in the Lanwu Trial.

It seems to be in Lanying City, but I don't know the details.

Li Yuan participated in the Qingwu Competition this semester and took a long leave of absence in the middle.

Naturally, it feels like this semester went by rather quickly.

Chen Yong paused for a moment when Li Yuan mentioned Lanying City.

After a long while, he finally spoke.

"I saw someone on WeChat Moments say that Zhuang Meng seems to be in Lanying City..."

"Really? That's quite a coincidence."

Li Yuan didn't react in any particular way, he just replied with a sentence.

Seeing that Li Yuan had no intention of continuing the conversation, Chen Yong wasn't so tactless as to be oblivious.

Let's not bring up those old stories.

Li Yuan's parents had just brought up the blind date; everything else was already behind them.

To be honest, it's unpleasant to talk about.

"You're getting ready for blind dates, and so am I."

My family's been pressuring me, so I definitely have to go next weekend.

Chen Yong took a sip of wine and sighed with emotion.

"I've achieved nothing in my career, and I'm rejected even when I go on blind dates..."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan shook his head.

"There are big differences between people. Some people like to show their faces and like other people's attention to be focused on them."

Some people, however, prefer a low-key and stable life.

Great wealth and status, on the contrary, feel like a burden.

Their greatest wish is to be content with modest wealth.

With your circumstances, achieving a comfortable life of modest wealth would be easy, wouldn't it?

After Li Yuan said that, Chen Yong did feel a little better.

There are so many people in this world. Even if you are terrible, there should be someone blind enough to fall for you.

The two of them just happened to hit it off.

In fact, many single people, though they may express some reluctance, secretly hope to find their other half.

However, repeated failures led to a loss of confidence.

They feel apprehensive about finding a partner.

The various terrible descriptions of the situation online have further fueled the pessimistic thoughts of single people.

After dinner, Chen Yong went home.

Tianjingyuan is not that far from Chen Yong's home; it's only six or seven bus stops away.

Unlike the previous rental house, which was located in the suburbs and was more than half an hour away by car.

I can rest for another day tomorrow.

I have to go on that blind date on Sunday...

Lying in bed, this two-bedroom apartment in Tianjingyuan is considered relatively small by local standards.

It is a type of housing for essential needs.

Logically speaking, the space in this kind of house is still very narrow. After placing a slightly spacious bed, getting in and out of bed becomes less easy.

But for Li Yuan, these living conditions were already quite good.

I slept fairly well that night. There were security patrols in the Tianjingyuan residential area at night.

The security guards at Tianhe Garden will take some time to check on Tianjing Garden as well.

These patrols have made it so that even in a mixed-use residential and commercial complex like Tianjingyuan, it's extremely difficult to find a room.

People are very unwilling to compromise on things related to their own safety, such as security and medical care.

On Saturday, Li Yuan didn't get up until eight o'clock.

I actually slept quite well last night; it was much quieter than my previous rented room.

Previously, there was a logistics expressway outside that area, and many trucks passed through it every day.

Even if these trucks don't honk their horns, the noise is still very loud.

On Saturday, Li Yuan went to see Chen Yong.

He took me to a nearby training room, a relatively affordable one, which cost 35 yuan an hour.

Two people can rent a larger one for fifty yuan an hour.

The city center is a bad place; land is incredibly expensive, and it's not easy to find a place to practice martial arts.

Throughout the day, Li Yuan not only improved his own cultivation but also gave Chen Yong a lot of pointers.

Since having dinner with Director Zeng last time, my friend has gained a lot of motivation.

Most people are willing to try if they have the opportunity to advance in their career.

Even someone like Chen Yong seems quite carefree and without desires.

On Sunday, Li Yuan was woken up at seven o'clock this morning.

Take the time to tidy yourself up a bit, so that the other person doesn't feel neglected.

Li Yuan didn't argue with his parents; since they were willing to move in, he would cooperate with the blind date.

After tidying up a bit, I changed into an outfit that would make a good impression.

I looked at myself in the mirror and I thought I looked pretty good.

If you have a slightly better appearance and are a few years older, the other person will be more tolerant.

I took a bus to a dessert shop on East First Ring Road.

The desserts at this kind of dessert shop are actually just average in taste and not very appealing.

However, these kinds of shops can provide a relatively good environment for chatting.

It's more like paying for a chat environment and then getting a free dessert as a bonus.

Li Yuan arrived five minutes early and began waiting for his blind date to arrive.

At 10:30, the other party arrived on time.

"Teacher Li Yuan?"

She asked tentatively, probably afraid of mistaking someone for someone else.

A hint of expectation flickered across her face; it seemed she hoped Li Yuan would give her a positive answer.

"Hello, I'm Li Yuan, introduced by Aunt Shen."

"My name is Xu Nianxing."

She smiled and extended her hand; the two shook hands briefly before sitting down opposite each other.

Li Yuan handed her the menu and asked her to order first.

Xu Nianxing simply ordered a drink and then handed the menu to Li Yuan.

The drinks arrived in about three minutes; they were all pre-made, so it was quick.

"You don't look thirty at all!"

"Is that so..." Li Yuan smiled helplessly.

Xu Nianxing, who was standing to the side, seemed to realize that she had said something wrong and waved her hands repeatedly.

"I did not mean that......"
