C232 Filling in the Vacancy

What responded to Chen Zhe was a long breath.

"Say something." When he did not answer, Chen Zhe became anxious.

"Didn't you forget? Did you suddenly remember? Or was it because of selective disappointment?" Faang Su chuckled, "Why are you suddenly bringing this up to me now? Since you rejected me last night, you can actually pretend as if nothing happened after that."

"Can I pretend that nothing happened? It's all my fault. What the hell was I worrying about last night, why did I have to buy you porridge? I ran all the way down the block and didn't get it." Chen Zhe was indeed frightened by the dream this morning and what he found when he woke up. He was so excited that he didn't even realize what nonsense he was talking about.

"You said... Cough, cough." Faang Su was so shocked by Chen Zhe's words that he choked on his saliva. It took him a while to recover, "Because you dreamed of me, so..."

"F * ck!" Only then did Chen Zhe realize what kind of incredible words he had just said. How could he have said it to Faang Su, the person involved, in a moment of impulse? This was too embarrassing, "Nothing happened. I didn't even wake up from my sleep and was just spouting nonsense. Besides, you must have heard it wrong."

Chen Zhe quickly hung up the phone. He felt his cheeks and ears burning hot, and his heart was in even more turmoil.

Faang Su was also stunned as he stared at his phone. Should he thank Chen Zhe for not waking up and talking nonsense to let him hear something incredible?

Putting aside whether Chen Zhe had the same feelings as him, whether he liked him or not.

Just what he said just now was enough to prove that Chen Zhe had feelings for him, and that he could accept men.

So, it was not completely impossible for him.

Faang Su suddenly remembered that Chen Zhe had told him last night that he was going on a blind date at noon today. He was going to have lunch with his blind date, then watch a movie, and then send him home.

He could not let Chen Zhe succeed in his blind date.

He quickly got up from the bed. His fever had already subsided, but his head was still a little dizzy.

But nothing could stop his drive now. He had been worried about Chen Zhe last night, but now the gloominess in his heart was swept away by Chen Zhe's words.

It was always like this to love someone. It was easy to say the word 'give up', but it was hard to do. It was easy to become stubborn. Sometimes you knew it was impossible, yet you didn't want to give up. You knew they might not love you, yet you still wanted to be happy for them. You worried about them.

That's why it's often said that in love, the first to fall in love with the man in the capital is the loser.

However, there were some people who refused to believe it, especially Faang Su, who had fallen in love for the first time. Even ten bulls would not be able to pull him back.

After Chen Zhe finished his call with Faang Su, he lay on his bed for a few more minutes. During these few minutes, he had been wondering why his mind was not clear enough. Suddenly, he was stupid enough to call Faang Su and spout nonsense. After rejecting him last night, everything would be fine. Wouldn't he die of embarrassment if they met again after this?

Furthermore, those words were clearly a slap in his face. Last night, he had told Faang Su that it was impossible for him to be with a man, but this morning, he had told Faang Su himself that he had a physical reaction to a man, and that man was Faang Su.

"I can't take my face anymore." Chen Zhe wailed as he took off his underwear. It was wet and sticky and uncomfortable on his body.

Just as he was about to throw his underwear off the bed, there was a knock on the door. His mother's voice came from outside the bedroom, "Brat, why are you crying so early in the morning? Get up and eat. It's already 8: 30. Don't forget what you promised me yesterday."

Chen Zhe quickly stuffed his underwear back under the blanket and deliberately said in a hoarse voice to his mother, who was outside the door, "Mom, I think I have a cold. Can we change the date some other day?"

"Another day? Don't even think about it. It's the Spring Festival in a few days, and you'll have to go back to school another day. Even if you can't get out of bed or walk, your father and I will carry you to the appointment." Mother Chen still didn't know what her son was planning. He didn't sound sick at all. He was making up an excuse because he didn't want to go on a blind date.

"I'll give you five minutes. If you don't get up and wash up, I'll go in and catch him." His mother threatened Chen Zhe.

Chen Zhe's last struggle failed, so he could only get up and change his clothes. He sneakily took his underwear to the bathroom and washed it. When his parents weren't paying attention, he hung it on the balcony.

It was ten o'clock when he left the house after breakfast, but his mother did not let him go, for she was afraid that he would leave the girl's house in the morning by pretending to be ill, and sent him to the dining room where he was to dine.

When she saw the girl appear outside the dining room, her mother shoved the tickets to Chen Zhe. "I remember that the movie opens at four o'clock in the afternoon. After lunch, you can walk around the neighborhood before going to the cinema."

Mrs. Chen gave her son a few words of warning and left before the girl could enter the dining room.

Because she had seen each other's photos before, the girl recognized Chen Zhe the moment she entered the restaurant.

The girl was dressed formally, wearing a white hooded down jacket. Her long straight black hair made people feel comfortable, and she was not bad looking either. Chen Zhe was a little glad that at least he did not meet a "photo scammer." The difference between a real person and a photo was so small that it was almost negligible. Not to mention whether he could develop a good impression of her, at least there would be no sense of disparity.

The girl came to the table and said, "You must be Chen Zhe. Hello, I'm Lu Lu."

Chen Zhe quickly stood up politely, "Hello, please take a seat."

Seeing a stranger on his first blind date, Chen Zhe was still a little nervous.

Lu Lu smiled at him and sat down opposite him.

Chen Zhe was thinking about what topic to start with. He didn't want to sit like this before the waiter served the dishes.

Lu Lu, who was opposite him, spoke first, "When I came in just now, the auntie who went out was your mother, right?"

Chen Zhe nodded.

Lu Lu continued, "Actually, like me, you don't want to go on a blind date at all, right? We're both only twenty years old, and we haven't even graduated from university yet, so there's no need for a blind date."

Chen Zhe nodded again. Lu Lu had touched the bottom of his heart. "Yes, I don't want to come either, but my mother forced me. If I don't come, she will restrict my freedom."

"I don't think it's really necessary. We have each other's phone numbers anyway."

Chen Zhe finally understood that Lu Lu did not want to go on a blind date with him. She did not even want to eat with him. In fact, this was exactly what he wanted. It was awkward to eat with a stranger.

"Of course you can. If my mother asks you, you can tell her that you have eaten, watched a movie, and shopped, but we don't feel anything."

"That won't do." Lu Lu suddenly objected.

Chen Zhe thought she had changed her mind and was a little confused.

"Think about it. Mom and Dad didn't think we'd fall for each other on our first date, and they couldn't have just arranged it this one time. If this one doesn't work, they'll arrange someone else next time."

It seemed that Lu Lu was an old hand at this kind of thing. Chen Zhe also remembered that his mother had previously said that she had helped him find several girls. If he couldn't do it today, he would definitely ask someone else tomorrow. Others might not be as "reasonable" as Lu Lu.

"Alright, then it's settled. To celebrate the cooperation agreement, I'll treat you to lunch today." Chen Zhe was about to call the waiter to serve the food.

"No, we're helping each other, so there's no need to be so polite, and I've got a date with a friend at noon, and it's almost time for me to go." Lu Lu left immediately. After saying goodbye to Chen Zhe, she quickly left the restaurant.

In fact, like Chen Zhe, she did not want to go on a blind date, but her family had no choice but to come. Originally, she had planned that if Chen Zhe did not agree to cooperate, she would tell her family that she did not feel anything and that the blind date had failed. Next time, she would find a comrade. She did not expect Chen Zhe to be so easy to talk to. In fact, this way, it would save everyone a lot of trouble.

Chen Zhe frowned as he watched Lu Lu leave in a hurry. Although the blind date had been resolved, didn't that mean that he didn't have any charm at all? He felt that he was pretty good looking and had a good personality. Previously, he was worried that his blind date would fall in love with him at first sight, but now it seemed like he was overthinking it. Lu Lu only looked at him when she greeted him.

Since Lu Lu had left, there was no need to eat anymore. Chen Zhe was about to call the waiter over and cancel the order, "Yes..."

However, if he dared to call for someone, a familiar figure would appear in front of him and sit opposite him.

Chen Zhe recognized him at a glance.

"Why are you here?" Looking at Faang Su, who was wearing a dark gray windbreaker, a black hat, and a mask, Chen Zhe was a little surprised.

Faang Su took off his hat, revealing his face, which was still a little pale from the cold, and smiled at him. "Your blind date failed, so in order not to be too sad, I'll fill in the gap."
