The waiter placed a cart full of meat and vegetables in order, filling up the entire table.

"You two, please use it slowly!"

Tao Xixi came back with the side dishes and placed his portion directly in front of him.

"Hey... pretty boy, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing him in a daze with a worried look on his face, she couldn't help but ask.

"……fine."

"Are you okay? Your eyebrows are all wrinkled together like twists, is it because of the fact that I crashed your car?"

Meng Tinghao: "...No, not because of this."

But the more he said this, the more Tao Xixi thought he was covering it up to save face.

"It doesn't matter. It's my responsibility. Don't worry. I will definitely fix it for you!"

Meng Tinghao smiled bitterly: "Really not... I'm just worried about things at home."

Tao Xixi: "I think your family conditions should be quite good, what could be so worrying... You are so young, but you are worried about the country and the people."

As she spoke, she picked up the fat lamb and put it into the pot.

Meng Tinghao sighed.

He looked at the steaming pot in front of him. Perhaps because the atmosphere was more relaxed at the moment, he rarely spoke out his true feelings:

"Actually, I'm not in a good mood today. I just got a call from my mom in the car, asking me to go on a blind date, but I don't want to at all... I just want to find a girl who is willing to go with me and have a free love relationship. My requirements are not high, but my family always wants me to find a blind date with someone of equal status."

Tao Xixi stopped twirling her chopsticks and glanced at Meng Tinghao.

"A match made in heaven, this phrase is so familiar to me, my family always says this..."

Meng Tinghao: "This era is not the ancient feudal society. Why can't their thinking change? They force me to do things I don't like."

Tao Xixi also sighed.

"Come to think of it, I'm not much better than you... My parents are fine, but my two aunts keep complaining about me not having a partner and want me to marry into a wealthy family. But it's not that easy to marry into a wealthy family! I don't know how much grievance I'll have to endure if I marry into one."

Meng Tinghao: "That's right. There's a saying that goes, what's honey to you may be poison to me. Not everyone is suitable for blind dates. How can the other half of your life be constrained by rules and regulations..."

They both sighed at the same time.

Tao Xixi: "We are all the same, even though we are apart from each other!"

She opened two bottles of soda and handed one directly to Meng Tinghao: "Come on, let's have a drink!"

Meng Tinghao was stunned: "Directly to the bottle?"

Tao Xixi: "Yes, this is bottled soda, it's more enjoyable to drink it from the bottle!"

Thinking of his depressed mood, Meng Tinghao gritted his teeth and drank a glass with Tao Xixi.

"Dry!"

"Dry!!"

It's just a soda, but I managed to drink it like wine.

Tao Xixi: "Don't feel sorry for yourself all the time. You are actually much better than me! You are younger than me and a handsome guy. Even if you get married ten years later, no one will say anything about you... But I am told by my aunt every day that I am too old and will be left alone... It makes me lose my appetite when I eat at home."

"Does a woman have to get married in this life? Does not getting married mean that her life is a failure?"

She was indignant.

Meng Tinghao: "We just have different troubles... You may not know that if you ordinary people feel that it is not suitable after marriage, you still have the opportunity to divorce, but for me, I will be bound by the marriage arranged by my parents for the rest of my life, and I don't even have the freedom to divorce..."

Tao Xixi: "Then you are too miserable! You are just a tool."

"Yeah, I'm just a tool for marriage."

Although Meng Tinghao was also indignant, he still held hope in his eyes:

"Fortunately, I have asked my eldest brother to introduce me to a reliable partner. Humph, you have to take the initiative to find a partner. You can't just wait for pie to fall from the sky."

Tao Xixi: "Hmm? So you have a chance to break free from the constraints of your family?"

Meng Tinghao: "As long as my eldest brother is quick enough and lets me meet my eldest sister-in-law's best friend as soon as possible, I will take her home and tell my parents that I already have a girlfriend!"

Tao Xixi: "Will it work? I feel like this trick of yours is very risky! How can you guarantee that your sister-in-law's best friend will like you? Also, even if you tell your parents that you already have a girlfriend, what if they break up the relationship?"
