[Clear-headed thirty-year-old heroine × sharp-tongued lawyer × fake relationship × adults at the limits of flirtation]
On my thirtieth birthday, my whole family tricked me into going on a blind date.
There was traffic on the way, so I arrived half an hour late.
I thought another round of criticism would be waiting for me: “You’re too old, too picky, and you’ll never find a husband.”
But as I reached the private room, I heard someone inside tearing into my relatives on my behalf.
“What’s wrong with her being thirty? Is she eating your rice if she doesn’t get married?”
“Don’t like that she’s busy with work? Are you paying her salary?”
I pushed open the door.
A man in a black shirt stood up and held out his hand.
“Lu Yanli, your blind date today.”
He paused.
“I’ve already given your relatives a piece of my mind. Anything else you’d like me to add?”
Later, to escape pressure from both families to get married, we made a deal: a three-month fake relationship.
Three rules, including no real feelings.
But as we kept playing our parts, I realized something wasn’t right.
Our fake hand-holding started to feel more and more natural.
After our fake dates, he began to hate taking me home.
Then one late night, he trapped me between the car door and his chest and asked softly:
“Song Zhao.”
“That agreement of ours...”
“When does it expire?”
(This book is adapted from the author’s short story, “I Was Half an Hour Late to a Blind Date, and He’d Already Finished Tearing Into My Relatives.” Please show it lots of support!)
It's from a short story, it's so interesting, the male and female protagonists are both humorous, and the 30-year-old redeems each other, making people feel warm when watching it [laughs][laughs]
