Blind Date

A cool breeze blew in from the window, lifting Su Qianmo's fragrant hair and sending a waft of her scent through the air.

Inhaling the familiar aroma, Gu Chenan felt a sense of peace wash over him.

After a long moment, the two separated and gazed into each other's eyes.

"Qianmo, you're... you're not angry?" Gu Chenan asked.

Su Qianmo blinked in confusion: "Why would I be angry?"

Gu Chenan gestured as he spoke: "In the real world, I'm not the young master of the Gu family from Donghai..."

Before he could finish, Su Qianmo placed her finger over Gu Chenan's lips.

Her gaze was gentle, with a spark of light in her beautiful eyes.

"I don't care what your identity is. I, Su Qianmo, only like you, Gu Chenan, as a person. If you say anything more, I really will get angry!"

Gu Chenan's expression revealed his emotion, and he nodded: "I understand."

Suddenly, he remembered something: "Qianmo, aren't you curious about how you appeared in the real world?"

Su Qianmo thought for a moment, then smiled: "Curious, of course I'm curious. In fact, I'm even more curious about how you crossed over into our world."

She blinked and continued: "I know there are things like systems, although I don't understand what that means. But I don't think any of that matters. What's important is that we can be together."

A warm feeling flowed through Gu Chenan's heart, and he smiled.

"From now on, we'll be together for a very long time, until we grow old and die."

"Yes!" Su Qianmo's face radiated happiness, blooming like a carnation.

Gu Chenan opened the window.

The two sat hand in hand on the edge of the bed, feeling the rustling of the plane trees outside and the summer breeze.

It seemed as if they both wanted to maintain this position until the end of time.

After a while, Su Qianmo looked at Gu Chenan and spoke: "Chenan, I want to know about you."

She added, "The real you."

Gu Chenan turned his head with a gentle gaze, the breeze ruffling his bangs, and he began to speak as softly as spring rain.

"Alright, what do you want to know? I'll tell you everything."

Su Qianmo shook her head, tucking her wind-tousled hair behind her ear: "I mean, I want to understand your life."

Gu Chenan leaned in and gently kissed her lips: "From now on, you are my life."

Su Qianmo's eyes lit up, her whole being brightened. She rested her head on Gu Chenan's shoulder and murmured: "And you are my life too..."

At that moment, the system's voice appeared in his mind.

"The first character has been successfully transferred. Please wait patiently for the second character to be transferred. Estimated time: ten days."

"Ten days? Are you serious? Is your ability that poor?" Gu Chenan complained.

"Please be patient, host. Just wait calmly."

"Damn it." Gu Chenan was helpless, but then he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked: "You said the background and wealth have been distributed, but why haven't I felt anything? You're not trying to fool me, are you?"

System: "..."

"The wealth has been confirmed as distributed. Please rest assured, host. The background is currently loading, please wait a moment."

Gu Chenan: ?

The wealth has been distributed? What's going on? Why hasn't he felt anything?

Gu Chenan quickly took out his phone to check his bank account balance.

Balance: 3451.23 yuan.

Something wasn't right, something was definitely not right!

According to the novel, his background was that of a wealthy young master from a prominent family. He had brought back both his background and wealth, but have you ever seen a rich young master with only about three thousand yuan in his bank account?

But just then, a bank SMS came through.

"Dear user, your bank card ending in xxxx has received a deposit of 94,255,844 yuan. Your current balance is..."

At the same time, the system said in his mind: "The money rewarded by this system is legal and compliant, and has gone through all processes. The host can use it with peace of mind."

"Holy crap!"

Gu Chenan was shocked, then carefully counted the zeros. It was over 90 million!

This wealth matched the money in his bank account from the novel, but what about his background?

Ring ring ring!

At this moment, Gu Chenan's phone rang.

Contact: Dad.

Gu Chenan quickly answered the call: "Hello, Dad."

The voice on the other end immediately launched into a tirade: "Don't you know what day it is today? We talked about this yesterday, what's going on with you today? Do you want me to come to Huaibei Road and break your legs?"

"What day..."

Gu Chenan hesitated, wracking his brain to remember.

Oh no!

The blind date?!

The day before he crossed over, Gu Chenan's father had arranged a blind date for him, supposedly with a female manager from a Fortune 500 company.

To be honest, Gu Chenan's father was extremely concerned about his son finding a partner.

Ever since he graduated, his father had been coming up with various ways to get him to find a girlfriend.

But the problem was, when he was in school, his father had strictly warned him not to date. Now that he had graduated, his father wanted him to find a partner right away. Who was he supposed to find?

Plus, Gu Chenan hadn't found a suitable job yet, so he could only stay in his rented apartment playing games all day, which naturally made it difficult to find a girlfriend.

So, the blind date had come about.

Previously, Gu Chenan had seen a photo of the blind date, Liu. Based on his standards at that time, he would have given her a 70 out of 100.

But after seeing the female leads in the novel world, Gu Chenan could only give her a 50 now.

"Oh, the blind date." Gu Chenan laughed awkwardly and said: "Dad, you might not believe this, but I already have a girlfriend."

As he spoke, Gu Chenan turned to look at Su Qianmo, who returned a happy smile.

"Hm?"

Gu Chenan's father paused for a moment, then said fiercely: "Do you think I'm an idiot? Last night you said you were single, and this morning you have a girlfriend? Are you going to tell me you're married this afternoon, and I'll have a grandson by evening?!"

"It's true, if you don't believe me, I can bring my girlfriend home," Gu Chenan explained.

"I don't care about that. Who knows if you've just found some fake girlfriend online? Young people these days have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves, don't think I don't know!"

"Now, immediately, go meet Liu. Don't make me really come to Huaibei Road to break your legs! *click*" Gu Chenan's father threatened before hanging up the phone.

"What's wrong, Chenan?" Su Qianmo asked curiously as the call ended.

Gu Chenan awkwardly scratched the back of his head: "My family wants me to go on a blind date."

Su Qianmo stifled a laugh: "Then you should go."

"But what about you?" Gu Chenan asked worriedly.

"It's just a blind date, not a wedding. Besides, it wouldn't be right to not go when your uncle has already arranged it," Su Qianmo said with a smile.

Gu Chenan thought she had a point.

He should just go and get it over with, then brush it off somehow.

After that, the next time his dad mentions a blind date, he'll bring Qianmo home directly!

...

Meanwhile, in an apartment complex in Magic City.

"It's all your fault that Chenan has turned out like this!"

A middle-aged man with an imposing presence was yelling at a middle-aged woman wearing an apron in the kitchen.

The middle-aged woman's forehead immediately creased with anger upon hearing this. She pushed open the kitchen door and pointed at the man, shouting: "Old Gu, do you have any brains? Our Chenan doesn't have a job, doesn't have a car, doesn't have a house, and you're setting him up with Liu?"

"Do you think Liu would agree? Do you think she's stupid?"

The middle-aged man slammed his hand on the table angrily.

"After this blind date, regardless of the outcome, we have to make Chenan find a job. How can he just stay in that rented apartment playing games all day?"

"If he doesn't want to, I really will go break his legs!"

These two middle-aged people were none other than Gu Chenan's parents.

Gu Zheng and Lin Mei.
