Chapter 211 Are you... going on a blind date with me?
"You're right, we just each have a strong sense of boundaries," Fang Jinyao nodded with a smile, "She is very strict with me and wants me to always be number one."
"It sounds like a lot of pressure. No one can always be number one. Yiyi's grades are so good, but she doesn't always get first place." Shen Zhiming didn't use herself as an example in this matter. She was just an ordinary person when it came to studying.
"At first, I thought so too, I couldn't catch my breath," Fang Jinyao sighed, "but my mother lived a carefree life every day, with girlfriends everywhere wanting to get into her bed. I went to her company seven times and I saw young artists who were kicked out three times."
This is already a very high probability, after all, not everyone can find a chance to enter her mother's office.
"One day I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went to her office and flipped over the table." Fang Jinyao also found it very funny when talking about the past of her youth. "I wanted to be aggressive, but the table was too heavy, so I flipped it in vain, and my mother even said I was furious."
It was also at this time that Fang Qinglan told her about the "unforgettable ex-girlfriend". At that time, she used her "linguistic charm" to inspire Fang Jinyao so much that she was determined to help Fang Qinglan prove that what she said was right.
"Then how did you find out that your aunt just wanted to make you feel good?" Shen Zhiming felt sorry for the cakes that Fang Jinyao had been stuffed with by her mother, and at the same time, he imagined the scene where the little Fang Jinyao was inspired to fight hard by the cake drawn by her mother. Besides feeling distressed, he also found it a bit funny.
"Because I think she doesn't have such big ambitions, she's more simple." Fang Jinyao has also grown up. As she gets older, she has accumulated a lot of experience in being a person and judging people, and her filter for her mother has been broken. "I probably wanted a child on impulse at the time, without thinking it through. Later... we already had a child, and our family could afford to raise him, so we raised him."
"I remember when I was little, my mother would take me to dinner with her ex-girlfriend. I would play with her sister and brag about each other's business. Later... she lost interest and the contact naturally broke off."
Shen Zhiming was very interested in the story and asked, "Does Auntie have a new partner?"
Fang Jinyao shook her head. "She just couldn't understand why a woman would give up the happiness of her family as time went by, quit the workplace, and focus on her family's three meals a day. She personally felt sorry, but she was willing to give her blessings and respect."
Everyone has different choices.
It’s just… that ex-girlfriend is completely different from the person in my mind, so my liking and admiration for her naturally faded.
Fang Qinglan was tired, and the so-called desire to compete with his children disappeared in an instant.
"I'm about the same as my mother," Fang Jinyao turned around and looked at Shen Zhiming, who was waiting for her to continue. Her eyes were gentle. She reached out and patted Shen Zhiming on the head. "We are both very boring people."
It is more accurate to say that it is a relationship between guardian and ward rather than a mother-daughter one. Apart from this relationship, they get along more like friends who know their limits rather than relatives.
"Nonsense, Sister Fang is not boring at all, she's very interesting!" Shen Zhiming retorted loudly, "You are a very interesting person! And very nice!"
Usually when they are together, Fang Jinyao is the one who finds topics to talk about. She can always pick up any topic that is thrown out, but she keeps it within the level that she can understand, and never makes people feel uncomfortable.
"This is not contradictory. At least my life in the past has always been boring and routine. I once thought that the future would be like this."
She has no shortage of money, and her career is going smoothly without any problems. Her only dream is to become a better agent than her mother.
Fang Jinyao paused for a moment, as if he had made a decision, and took a deep breath, "Until four years ago, I accidentally saw your video."
Shen Zhiming stopped what she was about to say. She had a hunch that what Fang Jinyao would say next would be the focus of today, and everything she said before about family matters was just a prelude.
Four years ago, she just started to do her own media.
She couldn't get used to the working environment of the company and started to try to shoot videos by herself. At first, each video she posted only received a few likes, which was pitiful.
"At that time, you were just a... little-known blogger," Fang Jinyao clearly remembered that she was Shen Zhiming's fourth fan. Almost ten days after her, Shen Zhiming welcomed his fifth fan.
The traffic is dismal, and the videos I shot...
How to put it, she is very Shen Zhiming. Fang Jinyao can see that she has put in a lot of effort, but somehow, she always gets into unexpected situations, panicking, and being simply and plainly clumsy everywhere.
"It was also through your videos that I realized that people can live as freely and casually as you do." I felt relaxed as if everything was going smoothly when I got to the bridgehead.
"But there are many people like me..." Shen Zhiming blushed and muttered, "I am just an ordinary careless person..."
"Well, maybe, but I've only met you." Fang Jinyao smiled, "So I only think you're cute."
Shen Zhiming didn't know how to respond for a moment. She was really...overwhelmed by the direct praise.
Fang Jinyao was not in a hurry. She gave Shen Zhiming some space to calm down and turned to get the bouquet of flowers from the car.
"The flower language of cappuccino is unexpected encounter, and you are my unexpected encounter, a surprise that broke into my life, so I like its flower language very much, just like I like you, Shen Zhiming."
Fang Jinyao held the bouquet of flowers in both hands with a serious and earnest attitude and handed it to Shen Zhiming, "If possible, can you give me a chance?"
Shen Zhiming:!!!
She stood there in a daze, not taking the bouquet of flowers.
After a long while, he finally stammered, "Is it the kind of love I think it is?"
The love between lovers is not that between friends or between an elder sister and a younger sister.
"Yes," Fang Jinyao said, and there was no room for hesitation. "Every time you asked me to go on a blind date with you, I wanted to ask you if you could date me. My conditions are not bad."
"I'm 225 years old, from Jincheng, and I'm a manager. I currently only have one third-tier artist under my wing," Fang Jinyao objectively put Qin Yuhuan on the "third-tier" list. "My average annual salary over the past three years has been over a million, but this year it should be a little less, around . I own a -square-meter river view apartment and a car worth , with no loans."
Her material conditions...are pretty good no matter how you look at it, and she has a lot of life skills. Her cooking skills are much better than Qin Yuhuan's.
Shen Zhiming: ...
"I am 26 years old this year. I am from Licheng. I am a fashion blogger. My annual income last year was 250,000 yuan. I don't have a house or a car, and I don't have any loans."
After she finished speaking, she realized how Fang Jinyao had taken her away.
What the hell is this sudden serious blind date atmosphere?
But she also felt her heart about to explode, beating so fast that it seemed like it would jump out of her chest in the next second.
"Should I also talk about my parents' situation?" Shen Zhiming is experienced in blind dates. Both parties also need to consider the conditions of the parents. She tried to extend this outrageous topic to ease her symptoms.
"My parents both work in the hospital. Both my father and mother are chief physicians. My father has not retired yet, and my mother retired last year and was rehired. They both have social security."
After that, the two of them sat face to face in silence for a long time, and finally laughed together. Shen Zhiming took the bouquet of flowers and said, "Sister, are you... going on a blind date with me?"
"Then...are you willing?"
Fang Jinyao stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to hold Shen Zhiming's hand. Her movements were very slow. Shen Zhiming remembered that Sister Fang had always been so careful and caring towards her.
She pursed her lips and took the initiative to reach out and hold Fang Jinyao's hand. "I have never been in a relationship, Sister Fang, I don't know if I can be a qualified girlfriend. You... don't look down on me. My income is not as much as yours, but I will work hard."
Ziyi once said that the feeling of love cannot be deceived.
She couldn't ignore her pounding heart, the burning temperature, and... the desire to hug Fang Jinyao.
