I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 216 - 210: Has Zheng He Found True Love?

Chen Xixi wasn’t really trying to meddle in Zheng He’s blind date, but her intuition told her that the girl walking with Zheng He was in for trouble.

She had just walked a few steps when she was stopped by a group of eager mothers, thinking she was there for a blind date too.

"Young lady, take a look at my son. My son is also very outstanding, works in a hospital, and has all the benefits, including social insurances and housing fund. He’s considerate, meticulous, and takes good care of people..."

"Don’t listen to her! Look at my son, he owns an auto repair shop and earns tens of thousands every month! He’s especially hardworking!"

Chen Xixi glanced around at the circle of mothers crowding her and smiled apologetically, "Sorry aunties, I’m not here for blind dating, I’m just passing by." freewebnσvel.cѳm

The mothers wouldn’t let go so easily of a girl with good looks and charm, "Don’t miss out as you pass by! Do you have a partner? If not, consider my son, he’s of high quality!"

Seeing Zheng He and that woman walking farther and farther away, and being blocked from following, Chen Xixi casually made up an excuse: "I already have someone."

"That’s really a pity, don’t know which lucky young man got you," one mother said with regret.

Chen Xixi was finally let go by the mothers and on her way following Zheng He, she ran into Han Qianyi.

Leaving the park entrance, Han Qianyi turned to Chen Xixi beside her, "Are you also following Zheng He?"

Chen Xixi raised her eyebrows, looking back at Han Qianyi, "Yes, are you?"

Han Qianyi spoke directly: "I just felt that he was acting a bit strange. I originally followed him to see if I could score a free lunch. I didn’t expect to see him on a blind date here. Considering his personality, it’s not like him to do such a thing, so I decided to follow and watch."

"I also find it strange," Chen Xixi said straightforwardly.

The two of them, with a common goal, followed Zheng He into a couples’ restaurant.

Zheng He, once seated, looked at the woman across from him, who was plain-looking but dressed quite stylishly, a hint of disdain on his face.

What kind of taste is this? Neither entirely local nor foreign-looking. At least wear some makeup or powder or something!

She probably doesn’t usually dress up; only for today’s blind date did she put on these fancy clothes, to stand out from the crowd of candidates.

But it’s too much of a hodgepodge, like a black potato wearing brand names trying to pass off as a high-end foreign import.

However, for the sake of the meal in front of him, Zheng He decided to endure it for now. At worst, he could just avoid looking up while eating, right?

The woman felt a bit embarrassed to look at Zheng He, as this was the first time she had met a man who was decent-looking. Usually, the men she encountered at blind dating events that her mother took her to were either ugly, short, or poor — those who pretend to be civil servants and whatnot, with the actual profiles on the dating materials highly exaggerated, nowhere near as excellent as claimed.

A blind dating profile is at least eighty percent fraudulent. One can’t say the person is identical to the depiction in the profile, more like there is no correlation!

Finally meeting such a top-quality handsome guy, she mustered the courage to seize the opportunity!

The waiter brought over the menu, and the woman pushed it towards Zheng He, shyly asking, "What... what would you like to eat?"

Zheng He didn’t stand on ceremony, as his purpose here was to eat, and he hadn’t had meat for a while. He couldn’t help but swallow his saliva as he looked at the meat dishes on the menu.

He didn’t care about the woman across from him and started ordering briskly, choosing only meat dishes.

As he kept listing off dishes, the woman gently interrupted him: "Can we finish all of this?"

Without even looking up, Zheng He said, "No worries, we can take leftovers home!"

Anyway, he wasn’t the one paying, so he decided to order everything he wanted. Only then would his trip not be a waste!

Upon hearing this, the woman’s lips revealed a shy and flirtatious smile, not expecting the man to be so generous with her, ordering so many dishes, and even thinking of packing up leftovers.

Sure enough, he was the man she had her eye on, outstanding in every aspect, she really did find a treasure among trash!

The blind date today was truly not in vain!

[Whoa! Has Zheng He really fallen for this girl, ready to splash out a fortune for her?]

[Why isn’t Zheng He researching how to save money instead of asking a girl out to a meal on a blind date?]

[Maybe he’s truly met the one?]

[I’m not so sure, given Zheng He’s character, why do I feel like he’s planning to scam this woman?]

[I get that vibe too, I hope this missy gets out of there fast! Or at least she should get online to check out Zheng He, don’t be fooled by his human-dog appearance!]

After Zheng He finally finished ordering dishes, the woman gathered her courage to proactively ask a few questions about love and marriage. Zheng He’s stomach was grumbling with hunger, with his mind solely on when the food would arrive, so his replies were very perfunctory, even barely making eye contact with the woman across from him.

The woman thought it was because she dressed too beautifully today, so Zheng He felt a bit embarrassed to look at her, thinking he’s even more socially anxious and innocent than she is.

Unable to withstand her constant questioning, Zheng He found an excuse to go to the restroom, figuring he’d stay there for a while, and then come back out when the food arrived.

Behind Zheng He’s booth, Chen Xixi and Han Qianyi were hiding their faces with the menu, and after Zheng He left, Han Qianyi quietly asked, "Do you think he could really have taken a liking to that woman?"

Chen Xixi replied truthfully, "Doesn’t look like it, his attitude is colder than a job interviewer’s."

At least an interviewer would inquire about one’s qualifications, expectations, or demands from the company and the job position, Zheng He didn’t ask a single question of the woman and whenever she asked, he just responded with vague affirmations, completely disinterested.

Han Qianyi was particularly curious, "Then why is that woman still sitting there, not leaving?"

Chen Xixi speculated, "Perhaps she thinks Zheng He is more introverted."

"That makes sense," Han Qianyi agreed wholeheartedly, "Zheng He ordered so much food, I feel for sure that after eating, he will refuse to pay and let that woman foot the bill."

How does she know? Because she’s all too familiar with this tactic! Starting from the show, Zheng He always had her treat him to meals!

Her experience is indeed rich!

Furthermore, Han Qianyi was the first victim scammed by Zheng He; naturally, she couldn’t bring herself to like him, and moreover, she thought if she could help this lady avoid being scammed by Zheng He, her own popularity would definitely surge today.

She just didn’t know how to help.

If she were to rush over now and tell that woman that Zheng He was planning to cheat her, would the other party take her for a fool or a jealous rival?

At this moment, Chen Xixi leaned forward, looked at Han Qianyi, and said, "You go find Zheng He and keep him busy, give me five minutes, and I’ll take care of that woman."

Han Qianyi didn’t expect Chen Xixi to also want to help the woman and quietly asked, "Will this really work?"

"Trust me, it definitely will."

...

As expected, Zheng He was stopped by Han Qianyi right at the restroom entrance; Han Qianyi was embarrassed to enter the men’s restroom, so she just stood at the door, asking Zheng He what a coincidence it was.

Zheng He didn’t feel it was a coincidence at all; he was just going to the men’s restroom, what’s the big deal???
