The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s

Of course, when Jiaojiao went out, Xiu Xi naturally tagged along. So, the three of them—a big one and two small ones—headed out together for the blind date. A few days ago, Jiaojiao had already heard from Old Shu about Qian Qian, the daughter of Old Qian. She had graduated from Qing University three years ago, and was reputed to be an exceptional student. Now twenty-four, she was only a year younger than her uncle. Apparently, earlier pursuits in academics had delayed matters of the heart for her.

The blind date location was set at a coffee shop.

The signal for recognition—a single red rose on the table.

It wouldn’t have been polite for Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi to walk directly over. So, right at the entrance, they made arrangements to sit at a separate table, nearby but not at the same one as Shu Lang and Qian Qian. They picked the table next to theirs.

Coffee shops in this era carry plenty of charm, with an artful ambiance outside and gentle music playing within. When Shu Lang pulled open the door to the shop and walked in, someone immediately came forward to greet him.

Taking a quick scan of the room, Shu Lang quickly zeroed in on Qian Qian, seated diagonally across from them with her back turned. Lightly patting Jiaojiao’s head, he motioned toward Qian Qian’s direction. Jiaojiao instantly nodded, then pulled Xiu Xi along to the adjacent table by the window and sat down.

Qian Qian was radiant, the same kind of striking beauty as Shu Wen—one of those fiery, magnetic sorts. Definitely someone at the forefront of modern fashion. Just her earrings alone stood out, with several piercings lined up along her ears, each carrying large, bold hoops. Jiaojiao couldn’t help but wonder if they’d jingle melodiously if her ears so much as twitched.

Noticing the arrival of someone beside her, Qian Qian glanced her way. First, her eyes landed briefly on Xiu Xi. His green eyes stood out in smaller towns but weren’t quite as striking in Beidu, where foreigners were more common.

Her gaze ultimately settled on Jiaojiao.
