Undercover Blind Dating
After graduating from university, I left my hometown and went to Shenzhen, where I worked hard. Time flew by like water, and before I knew it, I was nearing thirty. My mom was very anxious about my personal issues, constantly urging me to come back for blind dates. I told her that I could only go back for my annual leave in more than a month, so the blind dates would have to be postponed.
My mom sent me a photo of a girl. In the photo, the girl had long, flowing hair, a graceful figure, and fair skin, looking very beautiful. Her name was Xixi, and she was a secretary at a home appliance company in my hometown.
The matchmaker intended to set us up and hoped I could go back soon to meet her. I was satisfied with everything about Xixi except for her job as a secretary, which made me uneasy. Would she have been “taken advantage of” by her boss?
Fortunately, my classmate Alin also worked at that home appliance company, though he wasn’t in the same department as Xixi and didn’t have much contact with her. I entrusted Alin to go undercover and help me understand Xixi’s character, especially her relationship with her boss.
Alin was initially reluctant to be this “undercover agent,” but after my persistent persuasion, he finally agreed.
A few days later, Alin sent me a text message: “Xixi is lively, loves to laugh, and is helpful. Yesterday she helped me get some documents, and her colleagues speak highly of her.” Reading this message, I felt a bit relieved. People often say beautiful women are reserved, but Xixi seemed quite approachable.
Over a week later, I saw a QQ message from Alin: “Xixi is a kind-hearted girl. Yesterday after work, we took the bus together. She gave a beggar one yuan when getting on the bus and offered her seat to a pregnant woman.” This message made me very happy. I always wanted to find a beautiful and kind girlfriend, and Xixi seemed like the right person!
Half a month later, I received a short email from Alin. The email said that Xixi was a simple girl who usually went to and from work and occasionally hung out with colleagues to shop, watch movies, and eat barbecue.
The company boss was a traditional man deeply in love with his wife, so my concern about any “advantage” between Xixi and her boss was completely unfounded. The stone in my heart finally dropped.
Thanks to Alin being an undercover agent, I might have missed this wonderful relationship otherwise. Xixi, pure and beautiful with a good personality, was exactly the girl of my dreams. My heart returned to my hometown, to her side.
I called my mom and proactively suggested the blind date. But my mom said, “It’s always better to be early than late; this blind date won’t work out.”
“Why?” I asked in surprise.
“Recently, a boy named Alin from Xixi’s company kept approaching her for no particular reason. Somehow, sparks flew between them, and they started dating…” my mom said helplessly.
Upon hearing this, I was dumbfounded.
