Waking up the next morning.
Tang Yan’s mind was a blank, completely unable to recall what happened last night.
The phone resting on the bedside table suddenly vibrated, and he reached out to grab it.
A short video clip, the sender was Shi Yu.
His slender fingers tapped to play the video—
The scene in the video was simply unbearable to watch.
A handsome man was lying in a pile of garbage, rolling back and forth with a bunch of foul-smelling trash.
And even... passionately kissing the pile of garbage...!
Tang Yan almost threw up his guts.
At the same time, Mu Bai and Shi Yu were watching this broken video and laughing uncontrollably.
Tang Yan hugging the trash was real, but it wasn’t to the extent of mistaking it for a beautiful woman and kissing it passionately.
The video was shot by Mu Bai, and the post-production was arranged by Shi Yu.
If he ever hears the word "virgin" again, he’ll have someone strip that guy in the video.
After watching the joke, Mu Bai sighed.
Shi Yu, upon seeing this, glanced at him sideways, "What’s wrong?"
Mu Bai leaned back on the sofa, spreading his arms, looking very exhausted, "Tell me, is there any way to avoid a blind date?"
Shi Yu crossed his legs, his slender fingers gliding over every document needing his signature, and after a while, he curled his lips, "No way."
Mu Bai sighed again, "Looks like I’ll just have to be at their mercy now..."
Glancing at his watch, Mu Bai stood up, "It’s about time, I’ll head out first."
Shi Yu gave a slight hum, casting him a look that said "take care."
"Girl, hurry up and change your clothes!"
"Dad went out of his way to arrange this blind date for you, don’t miss it!"
Shen Zhongming chattered incessantly while rummaging through old-fashioned dresses from decades ago.
Shen Cheng nestled in the sofa, leisurely munching on bread, too lazy to engage with him.
After bustling around for a long time with no response from his daughter, Shen Zhongming approached, "I’ve always listened to you before, but today you have to listen to me just this once."
Shen Cheng remained silent, making Shen Zhongming even more anxious, "Girl, given our family’s situation, we don’t have the luxury of choice..."
Before she could speak, he continued, "I walked many roads and spoke many good words to get Uncle Li’s daughter-in-law to arrange this match for you."
"I heard the other party’s family is well-off, quite influential in Du City! If you marry over there, you’ll be set for life, girl..."
Shen Cheng raised an eyebrow, "If they’re so impressive yet still need blind dates, they must be either physically or mentally handicapped."
Shen Zhongming’s mouth twitched, "Old Li said the man is quite handsome and successful. If he were that bad, how could Dad bear to push you into it..."
Shen Cheng ignored him, and he continued his persistent coaxing.
"Girl, just take a look. If you don’t like him, we can leave immediately."
"Girl, where else can we find such a good opportunity..."
"Girl, today just listen to Dad once. If you don’t end up engaged and can’t find someone to marry, Dad promises never to bring this up again!"
That last sentence did the trick.
Shen Cheng flipped off the sofa with lightning speed and locked herself in her room.
In less than a minute, she changed into a clean outfit.
A white shirt, jeans, the simplest attire, yet it exuded elegance.
As she quickly stepped outside, Shen Zhongming finally reacted and hurriedly followed her out.
