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

After that day, Su Rui didnt know how Gu Yu Cheng explained to Mrs Gu. Mrs Gu invited her twice seemingly because she didnt 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 didnt 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 didnt wish to know.

Though, Su Rui didnt 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 didnt 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 dont pay attention to me, you will lose this pure plastic friendship!

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

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

Miss Tang, arent you exaggerating a little.

Didnt she just reject Tang Xiaos invitation to go shopping because she had lessons and couldnt 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, Im not going. Su Rui immediately refused.

Why? You can answer my phone now which means you arent having lessons, right? Tang Xiao asked suspiciously.

I havent washed my hair. I dont want to go out.

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

En, whats the matter with you? asked Su Rui as she heard that Tang Xiaos 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 cant wait for me to get married!

Su Rui laughed as she heard Tang Xiaos complaints.

You still laugh!

No, Su Rui said as she controlled her laughter, Im just saying I sort of understand why you dont want to go on a blind date.

Why? Your mother forced you to attend blind dates? Tang Xiao institvely asked and thought that shouldnt 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 cant 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, Im relieved.

Su Rui: Heh Heh

Cant we have a good chat today?

She didnt know whether he disliked her or not. But its true that the blind date has failed.

It cant 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.

Its not important. Su Rui said briefly.

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

Its impossible that she wont arrange a blind date for me.

Even though Su Rui explained to Mother Su that day that they shouldnt consider the aspect of blind dates for the time being.

But, Madam Liu Yue seemed to be enthusiastic about her daughters 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 cant be using the reason of my love wound hasnt 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] (ku hng bo)- When its translated literally it would mean Lipstick Bag. Its 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] (bn xiojie)- she was referring to herself in third person point of view.

[3] The sisters here arent referring to siblings but Madam Liu Yues close friends.
