The girl looked about seventeen or eighteen with a goose-egg face filled with collagen, quite plump, and her eyes were round and exceptionally bright; her lips were slightly full, which altogether gave her a youthful and splendid appearance.
Her figure wasn’t the slender type either; she looked rather fit and healthy.
In Chiang Xiao’s opinion, the girl’s looks fit the aesthetic of the era quite well and were likely the type that mothers-in-law would adore for a daughter-in-law.
It was just uncertain whether the unmarried youth of this era, Comrade Meng Xinian, would like her or not.
Chiang Xiao had already noticed that the girl clearly had her sights set on Meng Xinian. She had no idea what the boss’s wife had said to her, but she had to admit she admired the boss’s wife—her initiative was truly formidable.
So the earlier question about whether Meng Xinian had a partner was with the intention of having her younger sister come over for matchmaking.
She gave Meng Xinian a teasing glance.
Meng Xinian always felt that this cat’s gaze was not the half-naive, half-curious look that should be present in someone her age. This cat was not innocent at all!
"That, little sister, do you mind if my sister comes and sits with you for a chat? Her name is Yu Chunyu, she’s nineteen this year and works as a substitute teacher at our town’s middle school," the boss’s wife said, dragging her sister over, still using the way of speaking she used with Chiang Xiao.
Suppressing a laugh, Chiang Xiao nodded and said, "I don’t mind."
Yes, she didn’t mind at all.
This was her first encounter with such matchmaking, and she found it quite novel. Life in the countryside was dull, so she treated this as a bit of spice in her monotonous days.
The boss’s wife was delighted and immediately had Yu Chunyu sit down by Chiang Xiao, facing Meng Xinian.
Having Meng Xinian so close, Yu Chunyu’s heartbeat raced even faster.
She had never seen a man so handsome and appealing; his masculinity was so strong that one glance could make one’s cheeks blush with a crimson glow.
She had been about to go to the school when her sister suddenly came running back, frantically pulling her out. On the way, she hastily told her that Supervisor Guard Brother had come to the shop—right age, no partner, and most importantly, he was just too good-looking! She insisted on dragging her over to see him, and if she liked him, to snatch him up immediately!
Yu Chunyu was reluctant to come initially.
What woman acts so forward and frivolous?
Jumping at the chance to meet a breakfast customer for matchmaking?
Yet, after being dragged over and seeing Meng Xinian for the first time, Yu Chunyu felt that perhaps she really should thank her sister.
The man was so striking!
She had studied in the county town before and had never seen such a tall, well-built, and handsome man there.
Yu Chunyu felt that her chance had finally arrived on this bright and sunny morning.
She caught the eye signal from her sister.
The boss’s wife went back to selling steamed buns, as her business was booming, and she couldn’t stay here all the time. Fortunately, her sister was always clever and smart; she should be able to handle things on her own.
Yu Chunyu took a deep breath, flashed a very bright smile, and asked Chiang Xiao, "Little sister, are you from the town? May I ask your name?"
When someone asked for her name, Chiang Xiao could still respond.
"Chiang Xiao." As for whether she was from the town or not, she automatically ignored that.
"So I can just call you by your name from now on, is that okay?"
"Of course," Chiang Xiao nodded.
Yu Chunyu’s eyes shimmered as she picked up the empty bowls from which she and Meng Xinian had finished their soymilk, swiftly adding, "I’ll go get you another bowl of soymilk!"
With these words, she turned and walked away, leaving behind a trace of fragrance.
It smelled like soap with a hint of floral scent—quite pleasant indeed.
Chiang Xiao looked at Meng Xinian, wondering if Tyrant Meng’s heart would thump wildly for this charming young lady who was interested in him, beautiful, and even carried a faint floral fragrance.
