Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Time for a Blind Date!
“Meet at the park at 9 o’clock, but what should I say first?” As he stepped into the elevator, Wang Hao stroked his chin and thought, “Hmm, hello, my name is Wang Hao, and my friends all call me Brother Hao… This opening line isn’t very good. Maybe switch it up a bit, ‘Hello, you’re very beautiful, I really like you…’ But what if she’s ugly? Let’s try another, ‘Hello, my name is Wang Hao…'”
Just as he was contemplating this, the elevator had only descended two floors before it crashed with a bang and then everything went pitch black… and it got stuck again!
You just got this elevator fixed, didn’t you, bro?! What kind of quality is this! You think I won’t complain again?! Our meeting is at 9, and you’re going to make me late with this crap!
He immediately called the property management in a frenzy, and after a hectic ten minutes or so, Wang Hao finally emerged from the building, huffing and puffing.
“Finally out!” Wang Hao let out a long breath. That wasn’t easy!
He hurried to find a floral gift shop to buy a rose. Wang Hao walked to where the flower and gift shop near his home was supposed to be, looked around, and then scratched his head, “That’s not right, I’m sure there was a flower shop here somewhere, but where’s the store?”
He went up to ask, “Excuse me, sister, I remember there being a flower shop around here…”
The sister pointed to a shop with a shutter door closed nearby: “The business wasn’t making money, so it just cashed out!”
Just cashed out! Are you really doing this deliberately to spite me? I just want to buy a rose, did you have to disappear so fast?!
Whatever, I’m out of luck today, I’ll catch a cab and go elsewhere, that’s got to be alright, right?
So, he hailed a taxi, found a flower shop to buy a rose, and twenty-something minutes later, Wang Hao looked at the costly rose in his hand and sighed deeply, “A rose for three bucks, and thirty for the taxi ride, this is more outrageous than import duties…”
He rushed and finally made it to the park, beautiful girl, here I come! Wait for me! Although I’m not early, at least I’m not late!
Wang Hao walked into the park holding the rose, sneaking glances as he went—what a day of misfortune, please, no more unexpected accidents.
But before he even reached the meeting spot, a girl holding a rose suddenly jumped out from one side: “Oh, you’re here? Hello, my name is Wang Xiaohua, nice to meet you, please take good care of me!”
Scared the hell out of me!
Wang Hao almost kicked her down but managed to hold back.
Looking her over, the girl was about 1.55 meters tall and seemed to weigh around 130 pounds, chubby and quite fleshy.
Truly a rare find on this earth, for crying out loud!
Where’s the beautiful girl you promised? Dad said she was pretty good in all aspects!
“Um,” Wang Hao asked cautiously, “Miss, have you mistaken me for someone else?”
“No, I haven’t,” Wang Xiaohua replied, “Meeting at the park at 9 o’clock, using a rose as the token, right? Look, one for each of us!” she said, proudly wiggling the rose.
That’s not right, something’s fishy here. Today is just one piece of bad luck after another, I have to be careful!
“Miss, hold on a sec, I’m going to make a call,” he quickly took out his phone and called his dad: “Dad, didn’t you say she was quite alright? The one I’m meeting is kind of short and overweight…”
“Bullshit!” Dad exploded with rage: “My colleague’s niece is barefoot 1.65 meters tall! Weighs 98 pounds! Short and overweight, what you’re talking about is a barrel!”
Damn it, the misfortune today is really something else! A blind date and I meet the wrong person! I’m done for, damn it!
Wang Hao was frustrated, Wang Hao was going crazy, Wang Hao was pulling his hair out!
Damn this unlucky day, I’ll just accept it!
“Miss, you’ve really got the wrong person,” Wang Hao felt so frustrated inside, but he dared not show it on his face: “The person I’m meeting isn’t here…”
“Ah? Impossible,” Wang Xiaohua muttered, “Wait for me to check…” As she spoke, she took out her phone, glanced at the photo on it, looked at Wang Hao, and then suddenly blushed with embarrassment. “Sorry, handsome, I really got the wrong person, haha, haha, I’ll go on waiting!”
Dear God, you can’t be messing with me !
He hurriedly bolted, and finally, upon reaching the agreed spot, Wang Hao breathed a long sigh of relief. It hadn’t been easy!
Well, generally speaking, pretty girls tend to be late, what with all the makeup and everything, right? So, wait it is!
Five minutes passed; the girl didn’t show up.
Ten minutes passed; the girl still didn’t show up.
Twenty minutes passed; the girl was still nowhere in sight…
“What’s going on?” Wang Hao looked left and right but didn’t spot the girl described by his dad—barefoot, 1.65 meters tall, weighing 98 pounds. Is today just bad luck, to the extent I won’t even meet my blind date?
Brother keeps waiting!
Wang Hao waited a good half an hour, and just as he was about to leave, his phone rang.
“Is it Dad? What’s going on?” Wang Hao took out his phone and no sooner had he answered, he heard his dad roaring, “You little rascal, where did you go?! We agreed on nine o’clock, where are you?! I tried calling your phone earlier and there was no signal. What on earth are you up to today?!”
Damn it! I did come for a blind date today, okay? I’m still here waiting, and I haven’t met anyone!
“I really did come!” Wang Hao said with all kinds of grievances, “I brought a rose as the token! I’m still waiting at the agreed place!”
“Keep bluffing,” his dad said irritably, “The girl was at the park waiting for you until half-past nine, and when you didn’t show up, she called my colleague!”
Wait a minute, she also waited until half-past nine? Then why didn’t I see anyone?
“Um… just to check,” Wang Hao cautiously asked, “the meeting was at the stone sculpture in the northeast corner of the park, right?”
“Hell no!” his dad bellowed, “It’s the southeast corner!”
This is so embarrassing! Misplacing the spot on a blind date! I’m done for, damn it!
Wang Hao was depressed, Wang Hao was going crazy, Wang Hao was pulling his hair out in tufts!
Damn it, today is just bad luck, I accept it!
“I’m on my way!” After hanging up, he decisively changed location. Heading to the southeast corner! Today I’m determined to see what sort of person I’ll meet under this cursed luck!
Finally arriving at the correct meeting spot, a girl in a white dress instantly captured Wang Hao’s attention among the crowd!
Barefoot, 1.65 meters tall! Weighing less than a hundred pounds! Long hair over her shoulders! Long legs, slim waist! With a rose in her hand!
This girl is definitely my blind date for today!
Dad, you really are my old man! Where did you find such a great girl?!
Suddenly, life felt so incredibly wonderful!
Wang Hao took a quick stride forward and asked very gracefully, “Hello, may I ask if you are—”
He hadn’t finished his question when the girl slowly turned around, and then Wang Hao completely crumbled!
