A Blind Date with My First Love

Upcoming: After the Layabout Finds Something to Want Tao Nian was threatened by his grandma with, "If you don't go on a blind date, you can't come home tonight." He changed into something presentable and went to meet his date at a Western restaurant. Looking at the well-dressed man in front of him, Tao Nian said, "Hello. You look kind of familiar." Yang Zewei smiled. "Hello. I'm your first love." Tao Nian and Yang Zewei were each other's first love. They met at their most miserable. One sick person needs treatment; two sick people together are beyond saving. When they broke up, Yang Zewei smashed the living room to pieces, while Tao Nian sat on the sofa and watched him calmly. They were together for three years and apart for eight. Tao Nian only remembered one thing: Yang Zewei had driven recklessly late at night and ended up in the hospital. When Tao Nian arrived, he saw Yang Zewei lying in a hospital bed, covered in blood. The blind-date dinner tasted like sawdust. When all the dishes had been served, Tao Nian called over a waiter to pay. Yang Zewei stopped him. "I'm sorry. I was sick back then." Tao Nian gave a derisive laugh. "No need to apologize. I was sick back then, too." That night, Tao Nian got a message from a friend: How did it go with your blind date? Tao Nian replied: Not great. We're both sick. If we get together, either I die or he does. * His blind date wouldn't leave him alone. At a wine-tasting event, Yang Zewei, who should have been the center of attention, appeared in the wine cellar. Wine meant for a delivery lay shattered across the floor, and blood dripped from his right hand. Tao Nian lowered his eyes to the red stain, his gaze unfazed. He said slowly, "You're having an episode." Yang Zewei nonchalantly smeared the blood on the other's face. "So are you."

After the Layabout Finds Something to Want Wen Xu had two capable older siblings, a brother and sister who could shoulder great responsibilities, and a younger brother who was a musical prodigy. Sandwiched in the middle, Wen Xu was thoroughly unremarkable. He could spend the dividends from his parents' shares on food and fun, and still never run out in his lifetime. His older siblings occasionally gifted him sports cars and antiques, and there was always a seat for him at his genius younger brother's concerts, even when tickets were impossible to get. With life at its peak of eating well and waiting to die, what did Wen Xu have to be dissatisfied with? He obediently stayed home and lay flat. The news that Liang Shiyu had called off his engagement sent shockwaves through the whole city. Hearing the news at home, Wen Xu changed into a suit and went downstairs. His older brother was astonished. "Little brother, why are you downstairs?" Wen Xu hadn't gotten out of bed all day. He said lazily, "Big brother, I'll go to the party with you." At the banquet, Wen Xu saw Liang Shiyu. Perhaps the broken engagement had affected him. Liang Shiyu looked so grim that nobody dared come within ten feet of him. Wen Xu's older brother only turned away to exchange a few pleasantries with someone, and Wen Xu disappeared. It was Wen Xu's first time at this kind of party. He didn't know anyone or the place, and with his simple nature, how could he possibly handle this sort of occasion? While others helped search, someone spotted Wen Xu in the garden. His older brother followed the person's gaze. He saw his younger brother standing earnestly in front of the expressionless Liang Shiyu, holding something that looked like a ring box. Wen Xu's palm was sweating. He licked his dry lips. "I'll give you a ring. Don't be sad, okay?" The Wen family noticed that Wen Xu had stopped lying around at home. He was going out every day like a model employee. His older brother secretly followed him and discovered that Wen Xu went to the Liang Group every day. His third younger brother had never had to work hard for anything. Liang Shiyu was actually exploiting him! Wen Xu's older brother stormed upstairs. He opened the office door and found that his younger brother hadn't stopped lying around. He'd just changed locations. Wen Xu sat on Liang Shiyu's lap, staring at his older brother in shock. * Later, Liang Shiyu learned that the ring Wen Xu had given him had been made five years earlier, back when Liang Shiyu had gone abroad and then returned with his boyfriend. The ring had only seen the light of day five years later. Liang Shiyu asked Wen Xu, "What would you have done if I hadn't come back, or if I'd gotten married?" Wen Xu leaned against him, completely carefree. "If there were nothing to want, I wouldn't covet anything. I'd just stay home and be the third young master."
