Summary
My mother carefully picked out a blind date for me and asked, “He’s twenty-eight, but his parents are wealthy, and he has a younger brother in college. Want to meet him?”
I did not want to date someone old, so inspiration struck. “Could you ask if his younger brother can come instead?”
My mother’s face turned livid with anger.
Yet two days later, she actually sent me the younger brother’s WeChat contact.
He did not talk much, but he was so innocent that the slightest teasing flustered him.
At night, he would even call me with a trembling voice.
His only flaw was that he always tried to boss me around.
Then came the day of our actual blind date.
As I reached the door of the private dining room, I heard the younger brother telling his friend, “She wants someone younger, but I don’t want to go on a blind date with an old woman like her.”
“My brother said he was interested in her anyway, so I just had him chat with her for me.”
