Meanwhile, upon leaving the restaurant, Ron Rowland offered, "Let me drive you home."
Tiffany politely turned it down, "It's fine.I live pretty close.I can just take a cab home since we're not in
the same direction.I don't want to trouble you."
Ron laughed, "It's not a trouble at all.If I don't drive you home safely, my mom is gonna give me some
nagging"
Being forced by her parents just like him, she obviously understood how scary moms could get.
So she nodded in acceptance after some thought.She had to admit that it was enjoyable talking with
him.
Many of her friends had gone on blind dates as well, but the men turned out to be either hopeless or
mummy's boys.
So she didn't have high expectations for this date, to begin with.
Perhaps that was why she found Ron Rowland surprising.He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
One wouldn't necessarily find him handsome, but he was the type that many girls like--speaking gently,
caring and considerate.
Besides, he was well-read and articulate in his speech.
He was not at all pretentious and would never act superior and make people uncomfortable.
It was a good feeling being around him.
He continued the conversation on the way, "I heard from your mother that you are really busy and didn't
even go back during Spring Festival."
Tiffany laughed awkwardly, "Yeah.She'll pressure me to get married every time I go back.And all the
relatives will do the same.....It's too much trouble."
"Is it about your last relationship?"
"Yeah.We were about to get married....."
"At least you found out about it before too late.There would've been more gossips if you had married
him."
"Ain't that right? So I'm pretty lucky after all."
After a few more topics, the car pulled up at Tiffany Momon's apartment building.
Tiffany loosened the seatbelt and said, "Thank you so much.Take care on your way back."
"Tiffany, '' said Ron Rowland.
"Yeah?"
"Movie tomorrow night?"
Even though she hadn't had a blind date before, it was obvious to her that he wanted to keep this
going.
To be honest, she had no complaint about the person at all.
It's just.....
Seeing her hesitation, Ron smiled, "It's ok.Take your time to consider.I think we had a good time
tonight.So if you're willing, we should keep in touch."
Tiffany took a few seconds of pause and then smiled, "Sure!"
‘Just give it a try.What if I come to like him? That's how blind dates work, right?’ thought Tiffany.
"Alright.I'll pick you up tomorrow then."
"Ok.I'll see you tomorrow."
Tiffany waved Ron goodbye and then headed to the apartment building.
As she turned around, she saw Daniel standing by a tree not far away from her, looking at her with no
facial expression at all.
"...”
She took a look around, making sure that there was no one else around, and then scratched her head
in confusion.
Why was he looking at her like that!? It was not like she wronged him in any way.She moved her eyes
away and started walking immediately.She didn't want to greet him at all.
And, of course, she heard footsteps from behind right away.She suddenly realized something.
How did he know where she lived? She had moved already! She abruptly stopped her steps and turned
to him, looking at him with great caution.
Daniel stopped as well and looked her straight in the eye.
"Yes?"
Tiffany couldn't stay silent anymore.
Daniel rolled his eyes away and started looking around, "I'm thinking about moving recently.The
environment here seems satisfactory."
‘Is this dude serious!?’
"_....How do you know I'm here? Did you investigate me?"
"Nope.
"Then....."
"I followed you here."
"You followed me?"
Tiffany repeated these words and suddenly frowned, "You were in the restaurant as well?"
Daniel kept silent.
Tiffany found it even more strange now, "That's doesn't mean you can creep on me!"
"I don't think what I'm doing is creeping on you."
"That's exactly what you're doing! You followed behind me without my notice or permission.That's
creepy as he is!"
Daniel couldn't win an argument against her.
"I want to talk to you."
"We have nothing to talk about"
"I have been busy these days.That's why I didn't come to you."
Tiffany cocked her head in confusion, "What does that have to do with anything?"
"I thought you went on a blind date because I didn't come to see you."
Tiffany laughed, "Oh, silly boy.It has nothing to do with you."
"So you did it because you want to get married?"
Tiffany initially wanted to say that going on bind dates didn't necessarily mean getting married.
But, she changed her mind, "Yeah, I'm already twenty-something.If I don't get married now, it will be too
late."
"Still, you can't just get married to someone you've only seen once"
"Then who else? You?"
Daniel moved his lips a little, but no sound came out of his mouth.
"That's enough.I don't know what you want to tell me.But I don't wanna talk to you more."
She then added with a straight face, "You saw me dating already, so you shouldn't speak these strange
words to me anymore.You know, if a woman here is considered to be messin’ around with two guys at
the same time, her punishment will be drowning in a pig cage with the guy.So you'd better be careful!"
Daniel frowned, having no idea what she was talking about.
Tiffany wanted to scare him away with some ancient savage custom.
But it didn't work at all because he couldn't even get his head around.
It was like playing the lute to a cow! She rubbed her eyes and turned around.
"I'm going home.Bye!"
Tiffany had only taken one step before Daniel grabbed her hand, "You really want to marry him?"
"Why, you wanna prepare cash as my wedding gift?"
Tiffany shook off his hand, "You're not gonna give me anything.What do you care?"
