One evening, after getting off work and returning home, Wei Feng and Su Yan brought up the topic of Wei Jin’s upcoming blind date during dinner. The meeting was scheduled for Saturday, which happened to be the weekend, so both of them would have time.

Wei Jin had no objections. She was mostly tired, and after so many failed blind dates before, she approached this one with a “let’s just see how it goes, it’s not like I’ll lose anything” mindset.

Plus, she was a bit curious about this blind date after hearing about him from Little Dad.

And so, the date was set for two days later.

On Saturday, Wei Jin was feeling a little nervous—though she couldn’t quite explain why. It was just pure nervousness. She even took a shower and changed into new clothes.

Normally, she wore formal attire at work, but suits always felt restrictive. This time, she was finally free from the constraints of office clothes. Wei Jin changed into something more casual—sportswear—that made her look like a fresh-faced university student. Her eyes still had that bright, somewhat naïve look to them.

Wei Jin had shoulder-length hair, and she usually tied it up for work to give off more of a professional, elite vibe. But Wei Jin always felt it made her look unappealing, like her whole face was too exposed.

So today, she wore a headband, letting her hair down with a few strands of bangs falling softly around her face. Then she felt a bit uncomfortable with that, so she braided her hair into a loose side braid to make it look fuller.

Looking into the mirror, she nodded approvingly. Not bad.

Wei Jin’s features weren’t sharp; in fact, she looked just like she did in her previous life—a warm, bright appearance. The first thing people noticed about her were her eyes, which were always sparkling.

Thanks to her alpha physique in this life, Wei Jin had grown from 166 cm in her past life to 176 cm now. When she put on shoes, her visual height easily looked like 180 cm.

After applying a light layer of makeup, Wei Jin was ready to head out.

Meng Yue Sheng had chosen a casual restaurant called SWEET LOVE, a pretty well-known spot.

Since it was just after lunch, it was a good time for afternoon tea and some desserts.

Before she left, Wei Feng and Su Yan gave her a little pep talk, cheering her on, which made Wei Jin feel a bit embarrassed.

It felt like her parents were encouraging her to meet her first crush—so embarrassing!

Even the driver seemed to be in on it. Before starting the car, he gave her a knowing smile, as if to say, “I’ve been there too.”

Ugh. Why is everyone like this?

Wei Jin’s heart, which had finally calmed down, started racing again. She even began to tremble, her teeth chattering a bit.

Nervously, she asked the driver, “Uncle Zhang, do you think I should bring a bouquet of flowers? Omegas probably like flowers, right?”

Uncle Zhang had been waiting for her to ask. He’d been worried that if Wei Jin showed up empty-handed, the omega might think she didn’t care enough. Now that she’d asked, he was eager to give his advice.

“You should definitely buy a bouquet! Just looking at flowers makes people happy. We’re just passing by a flower shop. I’ll stop by so you can have a look…”

So, the car smoothly made a U-turn.

Wei Jin wasn’t very knowledgeable about flowers. She knew that roses symbolized love and carnations represented respect and gratitude, but when it came to specifics, she was clueless.

When they arrived at the flower shop, there were all kinds of flowers and plants on display outside, blooming beautifully. But none of them immediately caught Wei Jin’s eye.

Inside, the shop was filled with a cool, fragrant scent. The shop owner was watching short videos but quickly put down his phone when he saw a customer walk in.

“What kind of flowers are you looking for?” the owner asked, standing up.

Wei Jin glanced around and spotted a basket of blue roses, quietly blooming, soft and beautiful—a dreamy and elegant shade of blue.

It seemed she had made up her mind.

“Hmm… I’ll take those blue roses.” Wei Jin walked closer and carefully selected a few stems.

“Alright, how many would you like?”

“Is there any special meaning to the number?” Wei Jin asked.

The owner chuckled and waved his hand. “Not really. Any number you choose will be meaningful! But if you want it to look nice, nine stems would be a good choice. It’s not too full, but it lines up well…”

“If you want something more extravagant, you could go for 22 or 36 stems.”

“But of course, it’s up to you. However many you feel is right, I’ll prepare for you.”

“Let’s go with nine,” Wei Jin decided after seeing a sample bouquet with nine stems that looked quite pretty.

“What color wrapping would you like? We have a lot of options here. You can take a look.”

After some thought, Wei Jin chose a combination of white and light purple gauze wrapping, which she found lovely and to her taste.

The owner then began wrapping the flowers.

About ten minutes later, the bouquet was ready, and it turned out beautifully. Wei Jin was quite pleased and found herself in a much lighter mood.

After paying, the owner warmly invited her to come again.

Uncle Zhang had been watching her the whole time. When he saw her walk out with the bouquet, he rolled down the window and gave her a big thumbs-up.

Ahhh! Enough already!

Wei Jin, her face flushing, climbed back into the car.

Weird. So weird. Why am I feeling so much this time?

Placing the bouquet beside her, she gazed down at the delicate flowers. She couldn’t help but wonder, what kind of person is Meng Yue Sheng?

To help ease Wei Jin’s nerves, Uncle Zhang put on a soft piano melody.

The scent of roses lingered in the air.

It really was quite romantic.

Time flew by, and before she knew it, the car had stopped in front of SWEET LOVE.

SWEET LOVE was subtly luxurious, with its interior shining brightly through the windows.

Wei Jin gave herself a silent pep talk. Don’t be nervous! Don’t be nervous! Don’t be nervous!

Under Uncle Zhang’s expectant gaze, she got out of the car.

Suddenly, she felt like a warrior walking into a cold, unforgiving battlefield.

She kept questioning herself: Am I really going through with this? Am I really going to this blind date? Is this really happening?

The wind chimes on the restaurant’s door jingled softly as the door slowly closed behind her.

Holding the bouquet, Wei Jin wandered around aimlessly, her gaze unfocused.

A server came up to her and asked, “Hello, how can I help you?”

Before Wei Jin could respond, someone from a nearby table stood up and answered, “She’s here to meet me.”

“Oh, I see. I’ll leave you two alone,” the server said politely before walking away.

Wei Jin’s vision finally focused on the man. He was slender, wearing silver-rimmed glasses. His features were sharp and cold. A white shirt, black slacks—handsome. She liked it.

Wei Jin stood there, holding the bouquet awkwardly for three whole seconds, her mind going blank as it repeated: Ahhh, is this my blind date? I really like him! I really, really like him!

The man, seeing her frozen in place, smiled gently and said, “Come, have a seat.”

His voice was soothing, hitting all of Wei Jin’s weak spots.

“Oh, oh… coming, coming.”

Wei Jin shuffled over like a little quail, and before even sitting down, she thrust the bouquet towards him. “The flowers… they’re for you…”

“Thank you,” he said as he took them.

“No problem…” Wei Jin whispered in response, Ahhhh, this is so embarrassing! Mom, Little Dad, I really like him!

“Have you been waiting long?” Wei Jin asked timidly, glancing at him but avoiding eye contact. She ended up awkwardly staring at his lips instead.

Ahhh, but why do his lips look so kissable? They’re pink and soft, especially that plump lower lip…

“I haven’t been waiting long. I just got here myself. See, I haven’t even ordered yet,” Meng Yue Sheng said, pointing at the empty table.

Ahhh… even his hands are nice…

“I had some free time and came early. I couldn’t let a lady wait for me, could I?” he added, smiling apologetically, his eyes misty with a hint of warmth.

“It’s good you didn’t wait long. My name is Wei Jin… it’s nice to meet you.”

“Mm, Wei Jin, you probably already know my name, right? I’m Meng Yue Sheng—‘Yue’ as in ‘moon,’ and ‘Sheng’ as in ‘ascend.’”

“Yeah, I know. It’s a really nice name.”

“Thanks.”

With introductions done, Wei Jin didn’t know what else to say. She just sat there feeling small and helpless.

The silence lasted for a few seconds.

But Wei Jin didn’t want to miss this opportunity. Meng Yue Sheng was someone she had an instant sense of destiny with from the moment she saw him.

It might sound ridiculous, but it really was like a soul-shaking moment. This was her first love.

He seemed like a gentleman who had descended from the moon.

Wei Jin found it impossible not to like him.

“I—”

“I—”

They both spoke at the same time, then stopped after hearing each other.

Meng Yue Sheng found Wei Jin rather interesting—different from other alphas he had met.

Maybe it was because she was younger; her eyes were so clear and innocent when she looked at people.

“You go first,” Meng Yue Sheng smiled.

Wei Jin wasn’t as nervous anymore, and her voice was less shaky.

“I—” Wei Jin took a breath, “I really like you…”

“If it’s possible, could you marry me?”

Meng Yue Sheng smiled at the first half of her sentence, but when the second half came, he was stunned for a few seconds. “…”

“Hah—” He let out a soft chuckle, but the sound of it sent a warm buzz through Wei Jin’s ears.

“Did your parents tell you about my situation?” he asked.

“Yes, they did.” Wei Jin met his gaze briefly before quickly looking away. “They said you’re different from other omegas, a few years older than me, but really nice…”

“That’s all?”

Wei Jin fell silent. It seemed like… that was it…

She looked at him innocently.

“Alright,” Meng Yue Sheng adjusted his glasses. “I guess I’ll have to explain my situation to you in more detail.”

“I own a company, not a big one, but I work hard to run it. I won’t stay at home like other omegas, waiting for an alpha to come home after preparing dinner.”

“I won’t be someone’s accessory.” He stopped himself from adding that he wouldn’t attend pretentious parties just for show.

“You’re 25 years old, and I’m three years older than you. In two more years, I’ll be 30. I’m not exactly young anymore.”

“Do you still insist on this?”

“I don’t care about any of that!” By the time Meng Yue Sheng finished his first sentence, Wei Jin had already guessed where this was going.

After all, she’d read plenty of novels before.

She completely understood Meng Yue Sheng’s personality and mindset. After all, in her previous life, these were just the thoughts of an ordinary person.

Having lived an entire life, she had never been as brave as he was, so how could she not admire his resilient spirit?

“Meng Yue Sheng, I don’t care about any of that.” This time, Wei Jin dared to look into his eyes, as clear as obsidian.

“All I care about is whether you’ll be happy with me.”

“Whether you’ll want to live with me forever…”

Wei Jin would never use the rules of an omega to restrict Meng Yue Sheng. He was someone who had grown up amidst thorns, and he deserved to bloom into the brightest flower.

“Is that your answer? Are you serious?”

Meng Yue Sheng felt unsure. Every time he had opened up like this before, he’d been met with opposition and misunderstanding.

It seemed like no one else he’d just met would ever answer like this.

He felt a little lost.

“And I’m 25! Not 15! Don’t make it sound like you’re that much older than me!”

“I’m definitely serious.”

Meng Yue Sheng laughed in relief, showing Wei Jin the most genuine and open smile he’d ever given her.

“You really are a strange alpha.”

“Well, my mom and Little Dad and even my friends think so too. But that doesn’t matter. To them, being an alpha isn’t what’s important—Wei Jin is.”

“And to me, it’s not about being an omega—Meng Yue Sheng is what matters.”

Such a simple and pure statement left Meng Yue Sheng stunned for a long time.

“It seems… we’re on the same page.”

“Yeah, maybe we are.” Wei Jin felt a wave of joy settle in her heart.

Meng Yue Sheng picked up the menu and handed it to her. “We’ve been talking for so long. Take a look at what you’d like to eat.”

“Have you been here before?” Wei Jin asked as she took the menu.

“No.”

“Well, neither have I. I’m not sure what desserts they’re good at here…”

A nearby server, ever so attentive, approached again. “Hello, is there anything I can assist you with?”

“Our signature mousse cake is quite good. It pairs well with English tea. We’ve also recently introduced wheel cakes and fruit tea. You could give them a try if you’re interested…”

“Alright, let’s go with those,” Wei Jin said, passing the menu to Meng Yue Sheng. “Do you want anything else?”

“I’ll have the same as you.”

“Alright, please wait a moment,” the server said before leaving politely.

Wei Jin nervously fidgeted with the seam of her pants. Her phone was about to be crushed in her pocket from all the tension. “Can we… exchange contact information?”

“Of course.”

Meng Yue Sheng took out his phone, and they exchanged WeChat IDs and phone numbers.

Looking at the new contact in her phone, Wei Jin felt her mood lift even more.

Her WeChat profile picture was from an anime she’d watched a long time ago, and she hadn’t changed it since because she liked it.

She was looking down at Meng Yue Sheng’s profile picture now. It was a little white bunny holding a carrot—so cute. She was silently freaking out over how adorable it was and completely missed the brief smile that flashed across Meng Yue Sheng’s face when he saw her profile picture.

So, she really was still a kid at heart.

Wei Jin probably didn’t realize that Meng Yue Sheng had already spotted her when she was pacing outside the restaurant.

At that moment, it felt like his heart finally settled.

A voice in his head told him: she’s different from the others.

He hadn’t expected that after just one meeting, she would propose marriage.

It really made him marvel at the wonders of fate.

Fate is truly mysterious, and he was indeed lucky.

A person as rare as a rainbow, only when encountered does one know their worth.
