Qiao Shuangling was socially anxious and had been single for 23 years. Her best friend was so worried that she went to great lengths to set her up with someone.
A university professor, young and accomplished.
When Qiao Shuangling asked his age, she found out he was 38.
Qiao Shuangning: ...
Then she learned he was divorced and had a child.
Qiao Shuangning: ... Am I your sworn enemy or something?
Her best friend, convinced that meeting him wouldn't hurt, that even if nothing came of it she could still have dinner with a handsome older man and be friends afterward, rolled around on the floor and tearfully begged Qiao Shuangning to go on one date.
Qiao Shuangning went. She didn't meet the handsome older man. She met a young, incredibly handsome guy.
When she asked his age, he said he was 20 and in college.
When she asked who he was, she learned he was the blind date's son.
Qiao Shuangning packed up and ran off on the next train that night.
University professor: I couldn't make it today, so I asked you to have dinner with her. How did it go?
Son: Fine.
University professor: Good. I was worried you wouldn't get along. Next time I ask her out...
Son: I'll ask her out next time.
University professor: ...?
Son: I'm worried you'll get taken advantage of, Dad. I'll check her out for you first.
University professor: ...Sure.
The university professor woke up in the middle of the night with a start. Wait, something about this doesn't seem right...
