"Is it Aunt Zhuang who is urging me to get married?"
Very smart and perceptive, Zhuang Yiyun turned his head back, but unfortunately his objective need was not strong enough.
"Actually... ever since I came out to my family, my parents have been very worried about me. Although the same-sex marriage law has been introduced, they think the circle is still very chaotic. I'm about to graduate, and they hope that I will have a stable and reliable partner so that they can feel more at ease when I enter society."
Yan Yan spoke slowly, showing the self-esteem of a senior "baby" appropriately. He didn't want his family to worry about him, but he also felt it was a bit embarrassing that his parents still worried about him so much at his age.
"Brother, I understand Aunt Zhuang's urging me to get married. It's the same in my family. We got introduced to each other by many aunts and uncles. Although I'm only 21 years old, this is my fifth blind date this month... I don't like this..." Yan Yan spoke without thinking. His parents had no idea what kind of blame they had for themselves.
Zhuang Yiyun thought he had heard wrongly. It was only seven days into the month and he had already had five blind dates? In comparison, his mother's roaring urging for marriage was nothing.
"We are not familiar with each other, how do you know I am reliable?"
"My brother was introduced to me by my parents. He is the son of my mother's old classmate. I feel relieved."
"Your parents don't understand me either."
"I do have some understanding... I know that compared to my brother, I am really ordinary. I went to a low-end 985 school, unlike my brother who studied abroad at an Ivy League school. Although I look pretty good, it's nothing compared to my brother." Yan Yan had been lowering his head until he raised it. When their eyes met, he smiled, with soft dimples on the corners of his mouth, "Brother, you are so handsome."
“Ahem…” Even someone as cold as Zhuang Yiyun was, he was not completely unmoved when he heard this. He subconsciously avoided Yan Yan’s direct gaze.
"So I'm not naive enough to have wild fantasies. After all, I'm too ordinary."
"You have a good character."
When Zhuang Yiyun said this, both of them were a little surprised.
"Thanks."
It was quiet, but there was a hint of ambiguity. Zhuang Yiyun was the first to break the atmosphere: "I really don't have any plans to find a partner."
Yan Yan was silent. Zhuang Yiyun seemed really cold. If it were someone else, seeing his cute and adorable personality, they would have gone with the flow long ago. There would be no harm in having a chat.
The man's heart is as hard as iron, Yan Yan sighed, and after suffering a Waterloo, he had no choice but to retreat and advance: "I'm sorry, brother, I was too careless and rude."
"It's okay." Perhaps because Yan Yan's expression was too ashamed and self-blaming, Zhuang Yiyun couldn't help but say one more sentence, "You have to write your graduation thesis in your senior year, so it's normal to be busy." The implication was that since his family had arranged too many blind dates, he should find a reason to go home less often.
"Thank you, brother. You're right. I'm a little desperate. I should solve my problems myself and not put my hopes and pressure on you. Brother, can you add me on WeChat?"
After saying that, he clenched his fingers again: "I won't bother you casually, I just feel that you are smarter than me. If I encounter something I don't understand, can I ask you for help?"
Compared to dating and getting married, adding WeChat is really a trivial request. Zhuang Yiyun did not refuse again, especially when his eyes fell on his hand and saw another indentation there.
