"Oh, hello, I’m Xia Duoduo. I... I’m an actress," Xia Duoduo stamred as she began speaking.
The man before her seed very well-mannered, and he didn’t have the airs of soone highly educated. After listening to Xia Duoduo’s introduction, he smiled warmly, took a seat across from her, and nodded. "I’ve seen the dramas you’ve acted in. Your performance was excellent."
Xia Duoduo hadn’t expected him to have watched her shows and was a bit surprised.
"Really? Haha." She scratched her head a little awkwardly.
It’s so unexpected that a returnee would actually enjoy those clichéd romance dramas.
"Sir, may I ask what you’d like to drink?" A server approached to inquire.
Wen Chun glanced at the latte sitting in front of Xia Duoduo, then turned with a smile. "I’ll have a latte as well."
"Alright, sir. Please wait a mont."
After the server left, Wen Chun couldn’t help tugging at his tie. Beads of sweat were visible on his forehead. "It’s a bit warm in here. Do you mind if I take off my jacket?"
"You can take it off, I don’t mind," Xia Duoduo quickly replied.
Take it off? What kind of response was that?
Xia Duoduo felt slightly embarrassed and imdiately lowered her head to sip her coffee. She ended up drinking too fast and began choking. "Cough, cough, cough..."
"Are you alright?" Wen Chun took a napkin from the side and handed it to her, his eyes filled with concern.
"Cough, cough, I’m fine." Her face flushed as she reached out to take the napkin. As she looked up, she noticed that the man across from her had already taken off his jacket. He was wearing a sky-blue shirt underneath, the collar unbuttoned a few notches. His chest was slightly exposed due to the motion of handing her the napkin, revealing firm chest muscles.
Hmm, this returnee has quite a nice figure.
Xia Duoduo thought to herself, realizing she’d been staring at his chest. She quickly turned her gaze away, feeling her face grow hotter.
Why is the first blind date such a disaster...
"Miss Xia, what’s wrong with your eyes? They look a bit swollen."
"Huh?" Xia Duoduo panicked a little. "I, I accidentally rubbed them this way." She couldn’t bear to admit they’d swollen because she’d been crying.
"You should use a warm towel to apply so heat when you get ho. It’ll help," Wen Chun suggested.
"Okay, I’ll try that when I get back." Xia Duoduo clutched her coffee cup, not daring to et his gaze directly.
The man wasn’t particularly handso, but he exuded warmth—a big, kind-hearted guy. Actually, he seed pretty decent.
The table next to them had Ji Wei sitting there casually sipping her coffee, her gaze fixed on the crowd walking past the window. In truth, she was intently listening to the conversation at the neighboring table.
The quality of the blind date man was surprisingly high—he wasn’t flashy like most n and seed down-to-earth.
Ji Wei silently gave the blind date man a ntal checkmark.
After around half an hour, Wen Chun stood up and said he had to head to the research institute and couldn’t continue chatting.
Xia Duoduo expressed her understanding and stood up as well.
The two exchanged WeChat contacts, and Xia Duoduo smiled as she watched him walk away.
As soon as Wen Chun left, Ji Wei automatically moved her chair back over and patted Duoduo’s shoulder. "I think you’ve got a chance this ti!"
Xia Duoduo stared at Wen Chun’s WeChat profile picture, which turned out to be a cute teddy bear. For so reason, she found it endearing.
"Maybe," Xia Duoduo said, pursing her lips.
"Since you’ve decided to start anew, you have to let go of the past completely," Ji Wei said solemnly.
Xia Duoduo understood what she ant.
The Great Demon King... She needed to learn how to forget him.
Xia Duoduo put away her phone and, after a few monts of silence, looked at Ji Wei and said, "Little Wei, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Go ahead." Ji Wei had just picked up her coffee cup, but hearing this, she set it back down.
"I want to go see the Great Demon King one last ti."
