Shi Jingyi had an average education and an ordinary family background. After graduating from college, she had spent her days toiling away in a big city, barely making ends meet on a monthly salary of three thousand.
Even so, she still didn't want to go back to her hometown for the New Year, because...
Her third aunt asked warmly, "Xiaoyi, you're not getting any younger. Want me to introduce you to someone?"
Shi Jingyi politely declined.
"This time, your aunt's found you a good one. He's got a PhD and is an officer in the military. He's handsome and considerate, and he's got the abs every young woman loves."
Shi Jingyi asked curiously, "Oh? With credentials that good, how did he end up being matched with me?"
Her third aunt sighed. "Well, he got married by accident when he was young, and now he's divorced."
Shi Jingyi: "..."
1.
After watching several videos of people angrily tearing into awful blind dates, Shi Jingyi decided to give it a try herself.
The man asked, "Would you mind if I'm divorced and have two kids?"
Shi Jingyi said, "I would..."
He went on, "Even though I earn a million a year and hand over my entire salary, and my family owns nine apartment buildings and a shopping mall, and I'm hardly ever home, the fact that I've been married before puts a lot of women off."
"...wouldn't have come here, darling."
2.
After getting married, Shi Jingyi decided to lie flat: sleeping in the mornings, collecting rent in the afternoons, and spending time with the two kids now and then.
When she got bored, she started learning how to run businesses, building a bed-and-breakfast, opening a crystal shop, running a restaurant... She made a fortune and lived the good life.
The only downside was that her husband, who was never home, kept getting more and more clingy.
He got kicked out of bed again, looking utterly aggrieved. "Why?"
Shi Jingyi sighed and said earnestly, "You're old, and I don't want to touch you."
