Chapter 3 Online dating? Meet in person!
In the silent living room, Jiang Ning and Jiang Yao laid their shoulders together, both holding their cheeks in their hands, in a daze.

Occasionally, they turned their heads and looked at each other.

If someone else saw it, they would really think there was a mirror between them...whether it was their expressions or their movements, how could they be so similar! ?
At least the clothes they were wearing were different and could be distinguished. Jiang Ning's pure white lining fit her skin tightly, outlining her plumpness and slenderness, while Jiang Yao was wearing loose little dinosaur pajamas and her hair was messy.

"What should we do now?"

"Didn't you want to reply just now? Come on." Jiang Ning pointed at the phone screen.

"What's the key point?"

Jiang Yao was a little discouraged. She pouted her lips slightly and simply slumped back, raised her pink toes and placed them on her other leg. She deliberately grabbed a few handfuls of hair and pretended to be demented with a dull look in her eyes.

He pondered for a while.

"Yaoyao, I think... let's not separate."

Jiang Ning suddenly spoke very seriously. She tucked a few strands of messy hair behind her ears. Her profile was delicate, with a soft jawline and a small nose, like a sculptured work of art.

It was almost evening, the glow of the sunset flickered, shining from the terrace into the living room, and Jiang Ning's eyes flickered.

She spoke again: "After all, I am a university teacher. Dating with a student is not only unacceptable to others, but also difficult for me to accept... Besides, he is only eighteen years old. Mommy didn't agree with me moving out with you. If she knew..."

At this point, Jiang Yao's eyes turned horrified, "The consequences are disastrous!"

"Yes, it's unthinkable."

That cold face flashed in the minds of the two women at the same time.

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

"Then I'll make an appointment with Zizi... um, that classmate."

Since we didn’t know each other’s real names, we both used this nickname when we were dating online.

"Zizi" sounds very intimate.

However, after Jiang Ning met Chen Yuan in person, she suddenly felt a little ashamed to call him by this nickname.

She bit her lower lip lightly and her face suddenly turned a little red.

"But... I haven't even met him once, and I can't see him anymore after we broke up. I feel so sad." Jiang Yao felt a little disappointed and unwilling. She seemed to really like this boyfriend whom she had never met.

When the topic of breaking up was mentioned, she suddenly recalled the past six months of getting along.

……

"How's it going? I'm a great supporter this time? MVP!"

"sharp."

"You can't just praise me verbally, do something practical, like... a kiss."

“…boo”

"I want to listen to the audio. I want to listen to the audio."

"Ahem-boo."

"Baby, you have a nice voice! Woo~"

……

"Have you ever thought about the scene when we meet?"

"No."

"If I'm ugly, not good-looking at all, or even 150*150, what would you do?"

"Uh, carry..."

"Carrying a train and running away?"

"No, I'm responsible for helping you lose weight. Otherwise, being overweight is unhealthy."

……

"It's over. I gave away too many enemies. The other team is probably going to get the Baron..."

"I'll try to grab it, but if I can't grab it, I can only wait to lose."

"Ouch~ I'm sorry, I'll pray to the gods for you and I must get this dragon!"

"Then I don't think I can get it, because I'm an atheist and I believe in science."

"No, no, no, the gods are definitely helpful. I prayed for a boyfriend, and then you appeared!"

"I still don't believe it. I only showed up because I wanted to scold you for your poor performance in that game."

"You bastard! You have no sense of humor at all."

……

Various images flashed through Jiang Yao's mind. She had never experienced the feeling of love before, but what she was sure of was that there were probably very few boys like her "boyfriend" who were so patient, had good temper, never perfunctory, and could give people a sense of reliability.

What does he look like?
I've dreamt of meeting you so many times, but I've never seen your face clearly.

Now, he really appears in reality.

Jiang Yao's heart was pounding, and she felt her heart beating very fast. She lowered her head inconspicuously and curled the corners of her mouth.

"Sister, you ask him to meet, and I will refuse."

"No...are you willing to go out?"

Jiang Ning was completely surprised. She stared at her sister with wide eyes.

Because of some experiences in her childhood, Jiang Yao has a very socially anxious personality. She basically had no friends during her school years. She stayed quietly in her seat and did not go out after class.

At the beginning, with Jiang Ning's company, I managed to get through junior high school smoothly.

But the situation never improved.

She dropped out of high school and took private lessons at home.

But at home, with her mother's extremely strict discipline, she became more and more taciturn.

It was not until she came into contact with the Internet that this virtual world actually gave Jiang Yao a sense of belonging. Here, no one knew her gender, identity, or age. Not only did she make many "fun" friends, they had a lot of fun together, but she also found a career she loved.

It’s never good to be too addicted to the Internet. It’s been three months since the homegirl Jiang Yao last went out!
Five kilometers away from the community is Lanjing University.

Men’s dormitory, 3208.

Chen Yuan put down his book and picked up his cell phone. His expression was calm, but he was far from being as calm as he appeared.

……

Baby:

Yes, I know you have something to ask me... How about this, let’s meet in the evening.

……

After reading this message, Chen Yuan's original suspicion disappeared. Yaoyao Jiang was indeed Teacher Jiang Ning, and he was not mistaken.

He replied, "Okay, then I'll reserve a seat?"

After a few exchanges, the communication was completed.

Chen Yuan swiped his finger across the screen of his phone. Before the morning class started, the chat records were bold and unrestrained, full of love and affection, like a bad girlfriend teasing a shy male protagonist in a TV series. But when they discovered each other's identities, it could only be said that the words revealed the awkwardness of "not being familiar with each other".

Online dating?

Meet in person!

Chen Yuan put down his phone and took a deep breath. He opened the wardrobe and picked out two pieces of clothes. He wrapped himself in a coat and didn't need to take care of his hair much, just combed it a few times.

The only mirror in the dormitory was embedded in the door. He stood over it and looked at himself.

When he was a child, Chen Yuan felt inferior for a while because of his appearance. A classmate with cerebral palsy often said that he had a bitch face.

As he grew older and his bones developed, his cheeks became firmer and no longer as delicate as a girl's.

"Third brother, where are you going?" Quan Yafeng's computer screen was gray and he was looking dejected. He turned his head and noticed him.

"Go meet friends."

"Just in time, come back and bring me some midnight snack."

"it is good."

……

"The location has been decided. I will accompany you throughout the whole process. It's just in a more secluded corner. If you panic, just look at me. Don't be afraid."

"Uh-huh."

"Don't be soft-hearted, just be clear and straightforward. We never intended to bring this relationship into reality, so let's delete each other later."

"I see."

On Dongyang Road, a Porsche Macan was driving at a constant speed. In the car, Jiang Ning made arrangements with her sister in every detail.

Jiang Yao nodded as she listened, but her eyes were filled with fear as she watched the lights and passers-by that were rapidly receding. The street lights were brilliant and the city's tall buildings were lined up one after another. She was so nervous that she had to shrink into her seat, her fingers constantly twirling the corners of her clothes.

Finally they arrived at the reserved restaurant and they got out of the car together.

"Table 13, you go in first, it's okay, don't be nervous." Jiang Ning comforted her sister in a gentle voice and hugged her sister with a little force.

Jiang Yao nodded frantically. She looked around and saw that there were only a few people parking.

Even so, her eyes still wandered around, unable to focus.

The less contact with the outside world, the harder it is to overcome. Jiang Yao once hoped to stay in her room for the rest of her life so that she could feel safe enough.

Once outside, she felt dizzy and everyone seemed to be looking at her.

Those gazes were like needles, piercing her whole body and making her feel numb.

Jiang Yao suddenly shivered and her body was shaking. This was all unconscious, but her sister was sensitive enough to notice it.

Suddenly, Jiang Ning's slender and warm hand came over.

"Don't be afraid, Yaoyao."

"well."

Jiang Yao mustered up her courage. She carried her small brown leather bag, stared at the entrance of the restaurant, and walked forward cautiously and nervously. Her steps were very slow, and she looked back every few steps.

The long hair hanging down on both sides seemed to be her shield against gazes.

Getting closer and closer to the door.

She was so nervous that she closed her eyes.

All of a sudden, the voices of people next to me at the door came into my ears...car horns honked, buses stopped, and children on bicycles passed by on the sidewalk shaking their bells. It seemed as if the footsteps behind me were getting closer and closer!
Jiang Yao's mind went blank in an instant. She was so flustered that she didn't know where to look. She completely regretted going out.

I just want to turn around and find my sister and run back!

Come back home!

Only home is safe.

Jiang Yao turned her head suddenly and swallowed her saliva. Her sister, who should have been standing not far away, disappeared from her sight! She was so anxious that she tightly grasped the strap of her purse and quickened her pace.

boom--

"hiss……"

Jiang Yao bumped into someone and she quickly looked up.

"Teacher Jiang, are you okay?"

Chen Yuan saw Jiang Ning at the restaurant entrance from a distance. He walked over, and for some reason she turned back, looking quite panicked.

As a result, they collided with each other.

Moreover, Jiang Ning was wearing something different today, and Chen Yuan thought it looked very beautiful.

She still wore the earrings, her sweater was dark blue, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and she had a few bangs on her forehead. The combination of pure black over-the-knee socks, short skirt and small leather shoes was even more eye-catching, with a touch of quiet beauty in the liveliness.

Compared to her on the podium, she is not as gentle, but she looks more delicate and lovely.

The two had already told each other their names before they came.

"Chen Yuan?"

Jiang Yao was shorter, so when she looked up, the first thing she caught sight of was the other person's chin.

See the face again.

She didn't know why, but the moment she saw the face, she felt that this was the one her sister had described.

A clean and tidy boy with clear eyes.

Jiang Yao was completely stunned. She forgot that she was shaking unconsciously. She just stared at Chen Yuan's face blankly. Her eyes flickered and she pursed her lips tightly.

"This... Chang Xin is on to something! Look at that!!!" Jiang Yao's heart was pounding! She thought to herself.

"Are you cold? It's a bit windy." Chen Yuan noticed Jiang Ning's abnormality, took off his coat, and put it on her shoulders, "Let's go in."

"Okay... okay."

After putting on the coat, Jiang Yao felt less scared and a little warm. She could even smell a faint scent of lemon when she sniffed, probably from laundry detergent... and Chen Yuan's scent.

Hmm! It should be the smell of boys as rumored.

……

About ten meters away, the real Jiang Ning stood behind a short holly tree and peeked around.

She murmured to herself, "No, how come we are so close... and even wearing coats? Jiang Yao, you are here to break up, don't forget it!"
