After finishing three cups of coffee, Tong Qiu now has a strong urge to urinate.
He raised his arm and looked at the time. The watch silently told him: Hello, your blind date is now 25 minutes late.
Usually, Tong Qiu would’ve already left the second he felt like his partner wouldn’t show up, but today was different.
His blind date was a policeman.
Tong Qiu had said, “Mom, I don’t really need to go on blind dates. I’m only in my thirties; I’m not in a hurry.”
Tong Qiu’s mother nodded her head, “Oh, okay, you’re not in a hurry. Anyways, the other person is a policeman and I don’t want you to be the partner of someone like that.”
Police?
That is to say, someone who wears a uniform?
Tong Qiu immediately slapped himself in the face: “Mom, I want to go.”
As a result, the other person was late.
Tong Qiu was not a masochist and didn’t like waiting for others. As a teacher, except for the occasional delays in class, he usually was a time-conscious person.
He disliked being late.
In Tong Qiu’s view; teachers, police, and people with special occupations should always be conscious of time. Being late was absolutely not allowed.
The only reason why he was still waiting was that he wanted to see the face of the bastard who broke their industry’s principle of perfection.
Tong Qiu had planned on ridiculing the other when they finally met.
With that in mind, he ordered today’s fourth cup of coffee.
At the same time, he got up and went to the toilet.
Because of this blind date, Tong Qiu thoroughly cleaned himself from head to toe. No one could outshine him there, he knew he was the most handsome cub in the coffee shop.
And to highlight his temperament and identity, he also specially wore glasses, which made him look more scholarly.
When he came back from the bathroom, the waiter also happened to serve the coffee. He walked over and thanked him. When he looked up, he saw a man pass by outside the window.
Tall.
Long-legged.
Wide shoulders.
Handsome face.
Tong Qiu stared at the other more and silently thought, if this was his blind date then he will forgive him for being late.
Who could get angry at such a handsome man?
Tong Qiu sat down and was about to take a sip when he saw someone push the door open.
It’s was the handsome guy who just passed by and successfully attracted Tong Qiu’s attention.
Tong Qiu thought: I’m torn. If he and my blind date were to compete for me, should I choose the one with a good figure and face or the one in uniform?

Tong Qiu wanted to send him a friendly smile, but then he remembered he was here on a blind date. Wouldn’t it be humiliating if his blind date found him smiling at another man?
Being a teacher is a sacred profession. He should be refined, gentle, disciplined, and indifferent.
Thus, Tong Qiu did nothing.
But the next second, the other person walked towards him with a smile on his face.
Tong Qiu thought: Brother, don’t confess to me today. We met the right person at the wrong time.
“Hello, are you Tong Qiu?”
The voice also sounded nice, deep, and magnetic. It was the most arousing sound that Tong Qiu could imagine.
Tong Qiu sat there stunned at first and then reacted. The handsome man was really his blind date!
“Yes,” Tong Qiu immediately stood up, “Hello, you are…”
“Huo Zhixing.” the handsome man introduced himself and then apologized, “I’m really sorry. I met something on the way here just now and got delayed.”
Tong Qiu originally planned on holding back, but still subconsciously blurted out, “You were delayed by 25 minutes.”
Huo Zhixing was obviously a little embarrassed. He smiled and explained, “Sorry, I met a thief on my way here. I caught him and sent him back to the precinct.”
The reason for being late was so good that Tong Qiu not only couldn’t continue to blame the other party but even felt that he had done the right thing.
“It doesn’t matter,” Tong Qiu assured, “You’ve had a long day.”
When they sat down, Huo Zhixing glanced at the four cups on the table – three empty and one full.
He apologized again: “I’m sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time.”
Tong Qiu looked at the coffee cups in front of him and felt embarrassed. He quickly pushed them aside then smiled, “Don’t always apologize. I understood what happened.”
However, what I couldn’t understand is why this handsome man didn’t wear his uniform?
With that handsome face, if paired with his uniform then Tong Qiu would immediately drag the other to the cash register.
The two of them sat facing each other and didn’t seem to know what to talk about.
The honey grapefruit tea Huo Zhixing ordered arrived. As he took a sip, he tried to think of what to say to ease the awkward atmosphere, when Tong Qiu talked first, “How is it? Is it good?”
Huo Zhixing smiled, “Not bad. Do you want to taste it?”
To drink would make it an indirect kiss.
Tong-laoshi wasn’t such a casual person.
Tong Qiu smiled and shook his head, “I’m good with my coffee.”
“Could you still sleep at night after drinking so much coffee?” There was simply nothing else to talk about. They couldn’t just sit there and stare at each other’s eyes the whole time, right?
Tong Qiu replied, “No, but It’ll be harder for me to sleep if I drink tea.”
Huo Zhixing nodded, “Alright, I’ll keep that in mind.”
Tong Qiu wanted to ask, brother, what would you remember? Is it necessary for you to remember this?
“That’s right, I’ll just talk about my situation briefly.” Huo Zhixing was also a frank person. After all, during blind dates it’ll be best to be honest and say something practical, otherwise at the end when they find something they were dissatisfied with or inappropriate, then wouldn’t they just be wasting their time?
Tong Qiu nodded, “Well alright, please do.”
“I heard Aunt Xu say that we are both the same age. My birthday is at the end of July. I don’t know which one of us is older.”
Tong Qiu smiled, “Then I’ll need to call you older brother, as my birthday is in December.”
Huo Zhixing also smiled. He found that when Tong Qiu called him older brother, his whole body was like it was electrocuted. It was hard to describe, but he liked it very much.
“You should also know that I’m an ordinary policeman now. I don’t have many prospects at Sanhu police station.”
“Don’t say that.” Tong Qiu quickly said, “I’ve always admired the police since I was a child. Back then I wanted to be one when I grew up, but unexpectedly I enrolled into a normal university.”
Huo Zhixing looked at him with a smile and thought that he was quite talkative.
“You surprised me.” Huo Zhixing said.
“Why?”
Huo Zhixing said, “With such a handsome teacher, how can the students calmly study?”
Tong Qiu was incredibly flattered, but it’ll be embarrassing to laugh out loud so he could only pretend to be shy and lowered his head to smile.
“Are all policemen good at talking?”
“I’m the only one,” Huo Zhixing said. “Are you the only teacher who is handsome?”
Tong Qiu was praised so much he itched to go to Tianmen Gate and do a striptease there, but as he was in front of his blind date, he has to be dignified and restrained.
And so, the first meeting between Tong Qiu and Huo Zhixing went on smoothly and happily as they both equally praised the other. Tong Qiu completely forgot that he was supposed to taunt his blind date because he arrived late.
One forgets everything in the presence of such a handsome man.
They both decided to have a meal together and left the cafe. As they were eating, Tong Qiu noticed something interesting – one dish. He specifically chose to eat A, while Huo Zhixing specifically ate B. In the end, the food wasn’t wasted at all.
Wasn’t this a good match?
Tong Qiu thought so.
Originally, the two of them planned to go to a movie after eating, but when they arrived at the cinema and were discussing which one to watch, Huo Zhixing’s cell phone rang, and he was asked to report back for support as something happened.
Huo Zhixing felt incredibly apologetic. It was outrageous that not only was he late, but he also had to leave early during the first date.
But Tong Qiu said: “It doesn’t matter, you should go. We can watch it again next time.”
Those words directly confirmed there will be a next time. Huo Zhixing smiled and said, “Let’s add each other on WeChat.”
Huo Zhixing left first. Tong Qiu slipped his hands inside the pockets of his windbreaker and stood at the side of the road as he stared at the tail of the departing car.
The taxi drove a little fast, and with a “whoosh”, disappeared around a corner in the blink of an eye.
Tong Qiu licked his lips.
He took out his phone and called his good friend.
“Madame, do you have any plans?”
“I don’t want to be busy on the weekends.” Chu Yao replied, “Want to go for a drink later? My sister opened a new bar. Anyway, you don’t have any work for today, tomorrow and on Saturday. Let’s go.”
Tong Qiu thought about it for a while and felt that it would be feasible.
“Send me the address later.” Tong Qiu said, “Why don’t you ask what I’m up to?”
“What are you doing? Something indecent?”
“… I’m a respectable teacher, how can I do that?” Tong Qiu happily said, “I’m on a blind date.”
Chu Yao was silent for a while, then asked: “How is it? Are there any interesting facts you can share about your blind date?”
“Very handsome,” Tong Qiu replied. “It’s a policeman.”
Chu Yao was silent for a moment, and then said, “Baby, if it’s a policeman, then their physical strength should be good.”
“Shut it, how can a good young woman act like a hooligan all day?” Although he said so, Tong Qiu’s mind was already busy conjuring yellow images. It was quite shameful and shouldn’t be known by others.
“Feeling pretty good?”
“Not bad. We made an appointment to watch a movie next time.”
Chu Yao smiled, “Finally, the Millennium tree is finally going to bloom. Our family’s teacher is finally getting married.”
“We haven’t reached that level yet. We just met today.”
“I didn’t mean you’ll get married at this moment. A flash marriage will never be a wise decision.” Chu Yao said, “Alright, stop showing off. I’m about to leave so see you later. You better tell me what happened to your date!”
Tong Qiu hung up and stood rooted in place waiting for Chu Yao to send him the address.
His phone rang, and a WeChat came in.
He originally thought it was Chu Yao, but didn’t expect it to be Huo Zhixing.
The other man’s profile picture was a police badge. He was really dedicated to his job.
Huo Zhixing: Nice to meet you. I will not be late or leave early next time.
Tong Qiu smiled and sent him a cute kitten sticker. After sending it, he thought about it more, fearing the other might think he was merely being perfunctory, so he sent another message.
Tong Qiu: Ok, then I’ll wait for the next meeting.
Nell’s Corner:
