307, 8 minutes of love
Xia Yuan inadvertently reminded Xia Zhi that the topic of blind date can still be done again. After all, in these years, there are so many men and women left, and then they still don't look down on each other.
The rest can actually have requirements for life and expectations for love.
For these people, blind dates are like instant noodles, you can eat a meal by chance, or you can hope to really be full. It's not easy to make instant noodles well.
The era of the summer solstice blind date (in fact, it wasn't long ago, but it made her feel like it had been separated by several generations), mainly relying on the huge family branches of the three aunts and six mothers-in-law, and the only professional marriage agency she went to looked more like a liar, but she didn't flatten a boatload of people because of this, she felt that the main reason was that she didn't seriously understand the industry, which led to jokes.
She found a time to make a video call with Liang Lu and asked her about the blind date activities she had participated in.
"You want to go on a blind date again now?" Liang Lu said in disbelief.
Xia Zhi rolled his eyes and said, "I'm so idle, go on a blind date?" I would like to make a special topic, learn about the current blind date market activities, and write a manuscript. ”
"Find out for yourself! It's been a long time since I've been to a blind date, aren't there many blind date websites and apps now? There are more tricks than the discount activities of online business anniversaries, and I used to go there a lot: like asking you to shoot VCR...... Before going to the event, you will be asked to draw characters, and go to find a good couple character to play with...... A table of people sat together and introduced themselves as if they were doing team building......"
Xia Zhi saw Liang Lu snapping his fingers like a number of treasures, and couldn't help laughing: "Is this serious?" Can you find the object? ”
Liang Lu shrugged and said, "I didn't find it anyway." But I've heard that someone has found it. The form of the activity is not the key, it is to give a few people who don't know a chance to get to know each other, and the right one can naturally chat. Just check it out. ”
Xia Zhi touched his chin and said, "If I sign up, what if I am fancied?" ”
This time it was Liang Lu's turn to roll her eyes: "Don't be too confident in yourself. Love at first sight doesn't exist. You leave when you're done, you don't flatter and no one will catch up with you. ”
After Xia Zhi turned off the video, he opened the browser and searched for the two blind date websites that Liang Lu had just introduced, and one of them had an event recently.
An instant instant noodle with the theme of "Eight-Minute Fate" - no, a quick blind date event.
The event is limited to 88 couples, all participants will enter the venue with a love card with their contact information, the women will sit at the table, and the men will find an empty seat before the two-minute music stops, and then have an 8-minute blind date with the woman opposite.
If you meet the object you like, you can give the love card in your hand to the other party.
Xia Zhi felt that this activity was too ridiculous, 8 minutes, if he came shyly and shy, he might not even say his name and it would be over.
However, she still registered herself and another female editor, Feng Zijue. She sent the event link to Feng Zijue on WeChat, who sent her a crying and laughing emoji, she deliberately misinterpreted: "Don't get excited, just treat it as a company welfare, and help you solve personal problems by the way after research." ”
On the day of the event, the two set off from the café together, Xia Zhi did not deliberately dress up, but Feng Zijue kept complaining at the beginning, and was busy touching up makeup when he went out.
"Sister Xia Zhi, I have contributed to you on a blind date for the first time in my life." She put on lipstick and pursed her lips.
"What contributed to me? The registration fee is 188 yuan, and if you find a boyfriend at the event, you have to return the money to me. "Jiuzhou Chinese
Feng Zijue stuck out his tongue and said, "You said it yourself, this is the company's welfare, why do you still ask me to retire?" ”
Xia Zhi smiled and patted her head, this girl is only 22 years old, a child who has just graduated from college, she is actually a round older than her, it is incredible.
When they arrived at the hotel banquet hall of the event, many people had already arrived, and the two received love cards and found two adjacent tables to sit down, and it didn't take long for 88 tables to be basically full.
The men waited in another small hall, and after the host's passionate opening remarks, the door opened, and the men rushed in with cards in hand, which made Xia Zhi feel like a wedding dinner party, she covered her mouth, and couldn't help laughing.
The 8-minute date for the first round was definitely full.
The man who sat opposite Xia Solstice combed his back with thick hairspray, and Xia Solstice was surprised that there were still people combing such greasy hairstyles in these years, and he didn't remember his name, hometown, graduation college and occupation as he reported in a row.
Then, the music played, and the man, who thought he was very gentlemanly, bowed to Xia Solstice, said "unaccompanied" and left.
Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, that's it? She hadn't said a word.
But that's good, she didn't come on a blind date in the first place. Later, she began to concentrate, and the content of the men's self-reports was similar, as if they had undergone some kind of secret training, but the conversations of different people could still vaguely reflect their respective personalities and qualities.
She observed the words and actions of the person opposite, and most of the time it was the other person who spoke. You can probably notice that she is not very enthusiastic, and none of the eight people sitting in front of her left her a card.
There are a total of 12 rounds of activities, which means that if someone sits opposite the summer solstice in each round, then she can go on a blind date with 12 people.
However, during the event, some men will give away their love cards, and the men who gave the cards will temporarily retreat to the small hall just now, so the further back they go, the more likely there will be empty seats.
By the 9th round, no one sat down on the opposite side of the summer solstice. Neither in the 10th nor the 11th round. Xia Zhi turned his head to look at Feng Zijue boredly, and sighed that being young is good, and the girl has never been free.
That's it, she's always been the rest of her life.
"Attention, everyone! It's the last round of appointments tonight! Hurry up and send your love card and start a romantic date with the person you are destined to have! ”
Xia Zhi held her cheeks, looked sideways at the host in the stands, and put the heart-shaped card in her hand between her index finger and the table to play, she felt that no one should sit opposite her world-weary face in this last round.
The two-minute piece is coming to an end.
"Dad, there's another seat here that no one wants!" Suddenly, a crunchy voice sounded behind her.
Xia Zhi was thundered by these words. Father? There is also a seat?? Nobody wants ???
Before the music stopped completely, a little boy in a suit of about ten years old sat down across from her with a man with a beard in the same suit.
