Gradually, almost everyone below was tagging Xie Wang.
[Or should we not tag Mr. Xie? Would that bother him?]
[That's true, what if Shuangjiang and President Xie are just good friends?]
[A good friend? A good friend you dance with and hug?]
[Let's all calm down and stop tagging Mr. Xie.]
Ling Shuangjiang browsed through everyone's comments, a slight smile playing on her lips, not expecting Xie Wang to reply.
Suddenly, the fans screamed. Ling Shuangjiang continued scrolling down and saw Xie Wang's figure.
@XieWang replied to the comment: The puppy biscuits were made for me by Shuangjiang, you didn't have any.
[Ahhh, he's so smug.]
[I'm swooning over this subtle sweetness!]
[As expected, they're definitely together!]
[President Xie is so cute, like a child snatching candy.]
Ling Shuangjiang liked Xie Wang's comment, put down her phone, and started packing her luggage.
There are still a few days before the new variety show starts filming. Besides doing my homework in advance, I also need to bring the gift I bought for Lin Yinci.
Meanwhile, Xie Wang was in high spirits, chatting with netizens while sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.
Grandpa asked him to come home today to discuss meeting Xie Lin.
"He's not a child anymore. Do we have to vet his blind date?"
Old Master Xie said slowly, "This kid has been very excited these past few days. He gets extremely anxious whenever he hears someone's voice, saying that a person's voice is just like their character's, and that the real person must be like a celestial being."
"Naive." Xie Wang clearly thought it was unreliable.
Just by her voice, you think she's like an angel?
Does he think everyone is his little frost?
"Brother, do I look good in this outfit?" Xie Lin rushed downstairs, his green wool coat quite eye-catching.
Xie Wang frowned: "It looks pretty good. People who don't know better might think you're going on a date with someone else's boyfriend. All green is too eye-catching."
Although Xie Lin grew up in a pampered environment with plenty of pocket money, his biggest hobby was bragging and drinking with his buddies, and his experience in dating wasn't much better than Xie Wang's.
Xie Lin said, "But I really like this outfit."
Xie Wang peeled a red grape: "As long as you're happy."
Xie Lin pouted, "I knew it, you wouldn't offer any constructive suggestions. You're still single yourself."
Xie Wang slowly lifted his eyelids, a hint of smugness rising in his eyes: "Our relationship is progressing very quickly. He is hopelessly in love with me."
Xie Lin teased, "Since things are progressing so quickly, what happened when you suddenly posted on your WeChat Moments that your account was hacked? I thought you got dumped and were destroying evidence because you were ashamed."
Xie Wang didn't want to bring up the matter again, so he logged into Weibo to continue chatting with fans of his brother's CP.
I don't know who it was, but they actually pulled him into a fan group. The CP fans in the group were very enthusiastic, chattering away and asking questions non-stop.
Xie Lin wanted to put together a few more outfits, so he turned around and ran upstairs.
Old Xie tapped his cane and said, "You should teach him how to behave on a blind date, and act like an older brother."
"Grandpa, I have no experience with blind dates, and I'm willing but unable to do so. Besides, not everyone is like me and my little Shuangjiang, who are together because of fate."
Old Xie glanced at him and asked, "What's your boyfriend's last name?"
Xie Wang: "Ling. What about Xie Lin's?"
Mr. Xie: "I first heard him mention it once, I think his surname was Lin."
It was getting late, and Xie Wang planned to go home.
As he approached the door, he suddenly realized that Ling Shuangjiang and Xie Lin's blind date was quite close in time.
Could it be a recent trend of blind dating?
"Grandpa, just tell Xie Lin to be honest with you. Don't hide anything or have any bad intentions. There shouldn't be any problems."
Old Xie grunted, "I know."
—
Before they knew it, the day arrived for Ling Shuangjiang and Xie Lin's blind date.
Early in the morning, Xie Lin leaned against the car, eagerly waiting.
As Ling Shuangjiang stepped out of the building, her first impression was that the two brothers didn't seem to have much in common.
Xie Lin always had a smile on his face, and his demeanor still carried a touch of youthful innocence.
When Xie Lin saw Ling Shuangjiang, he ran towards him, his eyes fixed on Ling Shuangjiang's eyes for several seconds before he quickly looked away.
"Hello, Frost's Descent. I am Xie Lin."
Ling Shuangjiang generously extended her hand: "Ling Shuangjiang."
Xie Lin jogged over to open the passenger door for him, thoughtfully placing his right hand on the door frame to prevent him from bumping his head.
After Ling Shuangjiang fastened his seatbelt, he carefully closed the door for him.
Ling Shuangjiang suddenly felt a pang of guilt at Xie Lin's thoughtfulness and consideration.
"Sit tight, we're off."
Xie Linchao and Ling Shuangjiang smiled and drove slowly.
Sure enough, his childhood sweetheart was a little fairy, and she was incredibly good-looking.
It vaguely resembles a person.
Xie Lin took advantage of the break to steal a glance at Ling Shuangjiang.
This person looks a bit like the boy his brother liked in the dating reality show.
A friend had sent him screenshots of Xie Wang's dating reality show. He rarely followed the entertainment industry, so he found it intriguing, glanced at them quickly, and then excitedly showed them to his mother, jokingly saying that Xie Wang was pregnant.
Looking closely now, Ling Shuangjiang does indeed resemble that person.
But she's better looking than that person.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Xie Lin followed closely behind, attentively arranging chairs and hanging up coats for Ling Shuangjiang.
Ling Shuangjiang smiled gratefully at him and said, "Thank you for your help."
Xie Lin: "No trouble at all, I'd be happy to help."
He grinned foolishly at Ling Shuangjiang as he backed away, completely unaware of the sharp corner of the table behind him.
"careful."
Ling Shuangjiang quickly stood up and reached out to shield him, a barely perceptible pain appearing between her brows.
Xie Lin has always acted rashly and impulsively. Xie Wang has repeatedly reminded him of this.
Seeing Ling Shuangjiang's palms bleeding from the cracks he had made, he felt incredibly guilty.
"Waiter, quickly bring me the disinfectant."
Seeing Xie Lin's flustered appearance, Ling Shuangjiang gently comforted him, "I'm fine, don't worry."
After disinfecting with iodine swabs, Xie Lin bent down apologetically to check carefully, and only after confirming that he hadn't broken any skin did he return to his seat with peace of mind.
It was a cool day, and Xie Lin held out a hot towel: "Are your hands cold? Warm them up."
Ling Shuangjiang said thank you, but felt uncomfortable under Xie Lin's concerned gaze.
"I never expected that our elders would arrange a marriage between us when we were children," Xie Lin said with a smile, trying to start a conversation. "We're quite destined to be together."
Ling Shuangjiang asked, "What month is your birthday?"
Xie Lin: "I'm in November, my birthday is coming up soon."
“We’re about the same.” Ling Shuangjiang took a bite of her bread, hesitating about how to tell Xie Lin about her relationship with Xie Wang.
"I'll take you to my university sometime." Xie Lin seemed very talkative and spoke gently. "They're hosting a science and technology exhibition there in a couple of days. Would you be interested in going to check it out?"
Ling Shuangjiang did not answer directly: "I'm quite busy filming, let's see when we have time."
"OK."
When the steak was served, Xie Lin offered to cut it for Ling Shuang. "If you're a celebrity too, have you seen my older brother on 'Love Signal'? I heard that variety show is really popular right now, and my older brother and his on-screen couple are super sweet. But I don't follow the entertainment industry much, so I haven't had a chance to watch it yet."
Ling Shuangjiang wiped her mouth with a tissue: "Yes, I saw it."
Xie Lin laughed in surprise: "Really? You think my older brother is a bit of a goofball in there?"
"Pretty silly."
Xie Lin: "Haha, that's what my friends all say, and they even praised his partner for being good-looking." He glanced at Ling Shuangjiang and chuckled: "But in my opinion, you're even better looking than his partner."
Ling Shuangjiang smiled and said, "You don't know what his romantic partner looks like, do you?"
Xie Lin was caught lying in public and was a little embarrassed: "How did you know?"
"Because I am his CP (couple partner)."
The room was quiet, as if no one was there.
Xie Lin looked bewildered, his mouth almost forming an "O".
"Then you, then you..."
He repeated it several times, seemingly still unable to accept it.
"Does that mean I'm betrothed to my older brother's wife since childhood?"
Ling Shuang softened her tone and said, "We're not together yet."
"Huh?" Xie Lin was getting more and more confused: "But my older brother said that you are preparing your wedding room and that you are already hopelessly in love with him."
Ling Shuangjiang raised an eyebrow: "What you said isn't entirely wrong."
Xie Lin's expression grew increasingly dejected: "I finally found a blind date I like, and it's someone my older brother likes too."
Ling Shuangjiang's lips moved, but in the end she only uttered two words.
