Chapter 1 - 001: Fishing in Blind Dating
"Uncle, I'm at the entrance of the bank on Xiangyang Road... waiting for you, okay...please hurry up a bit."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yang put his phone into his pocket, then cupped his hands over his mouth to warm his breath, rubbing them together as he did so.
The Lantern Festival had just passed, and the temperature in the morning was around thirteen or fourteen degrees, still a bit cold, especially since he hadn't worn gloves while riding his electric scooter.
With his hands back in his pockets and watching the busy traffic and pedestrians, he couldn't help but become lost in his thoughts.
He was 25 this year, had graduated and been working for two years, and had impulsively quit his job before the new year. Now, he could say he had neither a car, nor a house, nor savings.
After a while, just as Lin Yang was about to lose his patience, a white Volkswagen slowly pulled up in front of him.
"Xiao Yang!"
The passenger side window rolled down, and a face, looking to be in its thirties, called out to him.
Coming to his senses, he opened the car door and got in, smiling as he greeted, "Uncle."
After getting into the car, Yang Xincheng gave him a quick look-over and then said, "Didn't your mom tell you you're going on a blind date today? Why didn't you dress up a bit more handsomely?"
Lin Yang looked himself over, then touched his hair and said, "She did, but I think I look okay like this."
