-B大(dà)- University B, the university that Su Rui is attending and the university Gu Yu Cheng had graduated from.

After that day, Su Rui didn’t know how Gu Yu Cheng explained to Mrs Gu. Mrs Gu invited her twice seemingly because she didn’t know about it.

They were all politely rejected by Su Rui.

Til later, when Mother Su went to Mrs Gu for afternoon tea. Mrs Gu then didn’t call or invite Su Rui anymore. She just sent some ‘small gifts’ through Madam Liu.

As for what happened after that, with the Gu family and Gu Yu Cheng.

Well, Su Rui didn’t wish to know.

Though, Su Rui didn’t have the energy to find out about these situations. As the start of school at University B was approaching, Su Rui was really busy these days.

She finally had the chance to not handle any admission procedures. Ms Li Na didn’t come to the Su house lately because she was busy preparing for the lesson before it starts. Madam Liu Yue had also gone out to socialise with her lipstick bag ^[1] , leaving Su Rui lying at home alone.

Currently Su Rui was lying on the sofa eating potato chips and talking to Tang Xiao on the phone.

“Su Xiao Rui! You can ah, do you know if you don’t pay attention to me, you will lose this pure plastic friendship!”

As soon as Su Rui picked up the phone, she heard Tang Xiao’s complaint on the other end.

When Su Rui heard it, the corners of her eyes kept twitching.

“Miss Tang, aren’t you exaggerating a little.”

Didn’t she just reject Tang Xiao’s invitation to go shopping because she had lessons and couldn’t accompany her these few days.

“Fine, then go out with me today. I happened to be going out to buy new bags.” said Tang Xiao proudly.

‘Nope, I’m not going.” Su Rui immediately refused.

‘Why? You can answer my phone now which means you aren’t having lessons, right?” Tang Xiao asked suspiciously.

“I haven’t washed my hair. I don’t want to go out.”

“Puh, you win,” said Tang Xiao while she laughed and added, “But, this Miss^[2] was just teasing you. I’m not free to go out today.”

“En, what’s the matter with you?” asked Su Rui as she heard that Tang Xiao’s laughter seemed to contain some emotions.

“What else can it be? I was asked to receive an old friend of my father and his son at home.”

“A blind date?” Or family meetings?

Su Rui responded, frowned and asked.

“What other reasons can it be?”, Tang Xiao wailed mournfully. She continued, “I just want to know if my parents really dislike me until they can’t wait for me to get married!”

Su Rui laughed as she heard Tang Xiao’s complaints.

“You still laugh!”

“No,” Su Rui said as she controlled her laughter, “I’m just saying I sort of understand why you don’t want to go on a blind date.”

“Why? Your mother forced you to attend blind dates?” Tang Xiao institvely asked and thought that shouldn’t be the case.

“I thought you were quite calm about blind dates?” She could even be so calm after going on a blind date with Gu Yu Cheng.

“It can’t be that your blind date has failed, right? Or are you despised by your blind date?” On the phone, Tang Xiao asked gloatingly with an attitude of #Knowing that you are uncomfortable with this, I’m relieved.

Su Rui: Heh Heh

Can’t we have a good chat today?

She didn’t know whether he disliked her or not. But it’s true that the blind date has failed.

“It can’t be true right? Was I right?” Tang Xiao asked nervously when she found that there was no response from Su Rui after a while.

“You think too much.” Su Rui said, and added, “I was the one who disliked him.”

“Heh Heh, alright. I was just curious, who is the one you dislike.”

“It’s not important.” Su Rui said briefly.

“Then your mother did not arrange another blind date for you?”

“It’s…” impossible that she won’t arrange a blind date for me.

Even though Su Rui explained to Mother Su that day that they shouldn’t consider the aspect of blind dates for the time being.

But, Madam Liu Yue seemed to be enthusiastic about her daughter’s marriage ever since she attended several sisters’^[3] gatherings.

Every day, she devoted herself to letting Su Rui know which girls got married, how happy they were after their marriage, and which sons of the family are exceptionally talented.

Even though, looking back, Su Rui felt a little regret with the Gu Yu Cheng situation but Su Rui can’t be using the reason of “my love wound hasn’t been healed” to refuse the blind dates arranged by her mother.

So, during this time, Su Rui made herself as busy as a mechanical bearing. Other than being really busy half of the time, she also hopes to let Mother Su put an end to the idea of arranging a blind date for her.

^[1] 口红包(kǒu hóng bāo)- When it’s translated literally it would mean Lipstick Bag. It’s one of the trendy items in China. I may not be correct but from my understanding, it refers to very tiny/mini bags and some have remodelled their branded makeup bags into a sling bag and it would be called Lipstick bag. Thus, I think it refers to mini cross body bags.

^[2] 本小姐(běn xiǎojie)- she was referring to herself in third person point of view.

^[3] The sisters here aren’t referring to siblings but Madam Liu Yue’s close friends.
