Although he didn’t get anything out of Ji Kongqing, from middle school to high school and even now, even after his brother moved, that photo remained in his brother’s desk drawer. 

Later, Ji Tiandong couldn’t help but do a little investigation, and discovered that the photo his brother had been hiding for so long was actually from a notice board at school! 

His brother had secretly snatched it. 

What did that mean! 

A white moonlight! 

Unexpectedly, his brother, who seemed like a cold, aloof, jade-carved gentleman, actually harbored a secret white moonlight in his heart! 

So, after hearing the news that the young master of the Lu family in the photo was going on a blind date, he rushed to give his brother a heads-up. 

Ji Tiandong felt uncomfortable from his brother’s smile, sat up straight, and pouted: “Okay, okay, the news probably hasn’t spread yet. But our mom always pays attention to the blind date circles, so she gets this kind of first-hand information the fastest.” 

“This morning she was still hesitating, wondering whether to put you in the young master’s blind date lineup, after all, the conditions seem quite suitable.” 

Professor Ji’s fingers curled slightly, forming a loose fist next to the mouse. 

Ji Tiandong saw it and pinched his thigh under the table to suppress his laughter: “But our dad disagreed! He said that if brother went and didn’t chat properly, the other child was sincerely coming out for a blind date, it would be offending someone. Mom thought about it too, so she gave up.” 

Ji Tiandong swore he saw his brother’s lips turn down several degrees. 

“Well, Dad’s right, after all, Professor Ji wouldn’t voluntarily go on a blind date.” 

Ji Kongqing calmed his breathing, pushed up his glasses, and looked at his good brother: “Who are they?” 

Ji Tiandong, still enjoying the show, stuttered: “Ah?” 

Ji Kongqing pursed his lips: “Lu Xi’s… blind date candidates.” 

Ji Tiandong almost choked and laughed out loud in front of his brother. 

Suppressing his laughter, Ji Tiandong replied: “How would I know? But the Lu family clearly stated it was a male blind date, and there are only a few openly gay people in the circle, right?” 

“Old Cui’s youngest son…” 

“Spoiled personality, unsuitable.” 

“Mr. Liu’s family from the Wan Sheng Group…” 

“Chaotic private life, poor health, unsuitable.” 

… 

Ji Tiandong was clearly prepared, having obtained the list of the young master Lu’s blind date candidates from his mother early on: “How about the second son of the Li family? He studied art abroad, and he has a lot of common topics with the young master Lu who paints! No lover, clean private life, how suitable!” 

Ji Kongqing said briefly: “Had a lover, broke up, still pursuing.” 

Ji Tiandong was defeated: “…It seems I’m reading the list to the King of Hell.” 

Wait. 

He got the information from his mother, so where did his brother know so many details? 

Ji Tiandong looked at his brother suspiciously. 

His brother, with his serene and elegant appearance, didn’t seem like the type to secretly pay attention to the movements of other peers in the circle. 

But his brother could secretly keep a photo from a school notice board, so being a little more reserved was understandable. 

“They are not Lu…” Ji Kongqing paused before saying the name, “Lu Xi’s type.” 

“So? What type of blind date candidate does young master Lu like?” Ji Tiandong raised an eyebrow, “Someone like you?” 

“Mm.” 

“…You just ‘Mm’d?” 

Ji Tiandong looked like he was questioning life. 

“Mm.” 

Ji Kongqing responded again, meeting his brother’s bewildered gaze, his back straight, sitting upright. 

With his three-dimensional features, gentle and gentlemanly demeanor, and formal attire, even wearing a tie, he could indeed sweep the blind date market. 

Ji Kongqing looked at Ji Tiandong. 

Ji Tiandong pondered his brother’s meaning, and after a while, understood. 

“So… ask Mom to arrange a blind date?” 

Ji Kongqing nodded reservedly: “I’ll arrive early.” 

Ji Tiandong: “…Okay.” 

Just keep acting aloof, let’s see if you can get your white moonlight back to the old house. 

Time quickly came to Saturday. 

Even though the blind date’s name made Lu Xi feel a little subtle, since he had promised his mother, Lu Xi would take it seriously. 

Actually, he wasn’t very resistant to having a partner in his life, or rather, he occasionally had a few moments of longing and imagination. 

But… 

Lu Xi tidied the collar of his shirt in the mirror, gathered his slightly long wolf tail hair into a low ponytail, and curved his eyebrows into a polite but not enthusiastic smile. 

…Lu Xi, like most adults now, wasn’t resistant, but that didn’t mean he was proactive. 

He believed in love, and believed that people had compatible partners, but Lu Xi didn’t think he would meet one. 

And after living his life fully and excitingly, slowly, he got used to being alone, and after getting used to it, he even worried a little. 

What if a life with two people wasn’t as happy and carefree as being alone? 

Tsk, thinking about it, he was really hard to please. 

Like waiting for a love that’s like a burglary. 

Lu Xi was amused by his own thoughts, touched his nose, went to the entrance, changed his shoes, took his keys, and went out for his date. 

… 

The early spring weather could change in an instant. 

Lu Xi was halfway there when it started to rain, the raindrops hitting the car window with a crackling sound. 

The road was a bit congested. 

Lu Xi rested his fingers on the steering wheel, looking at the sea of red on the traffic conditions ahead, glad he had left an hour early. 

The meeting place was a standard Western restaurant, very suitable for a blind date where both parties were unfamiliar with each other. 

Finally arriving at the destination, because he hadn’t booked a parking space in advance, the restaurant’s underground parking lot was full, so he had to park outside. 

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Lu Xi looked at the pouring rain outside, then at his dry and neat suit, his expression a little conflicted. 

Only fifteen minutes left until the appointed time, he certainly couldn’t wait for the rain to stop, but if he went out like this, going to meet the other party in wet clothes would be quite disrespectful. 

…Call the restaurant and ask them to send an umbrella. 

Lu Xi thought, taking out his phone to look up the restaurant’s front desk number. 

“Knock knock knock.” 

Three slow, muffled knocks, someone knocked on Lu Xi’s car window. 

Lu Xi, who hadn’t had time to make the call yet, lowered the window, looking surprised. 

Outside the car window was a man dressed formally. 

A fine suit jacket, a stiff-collared white shirt, a tie, tall stature, short black hair, fair skin. 

It should have been the most attractive attire to Lu Xi, but Lu Xi’s attention was focused entirely on the other person’s face in that instant. 

In a daze, Lu Xi seemed to smell again the scent of lime that had lingered in his nose for days after the wind blew the boy’s school uniform in high school. 

Even after ten years, Lu Xi recognized Ji Kongqing at first glance. 

Lu Xi knew his premonition had come true. 

He was going on a blind date with a high school classmate. 

He was going on a blind date with the fantasy object of his high school sexual awakening. 

Lu Xi truly awakened to his sexuality in his second year of high school. 

Heaven knows, he just looked at the basketball court a few more times, peeked at the rooftop dozens of times during lunch break, and seemingly unintentionally looked into the classroom next door while passing by… how did he become gay? 

Lu Xi in his youth was a bit of a middle schooler, unlike the typical teenagers who liked overpowered protagonists, Lu Xi liked those cool and aloof supporting characters, even creating stories about them in his diary. 

Once, by chance, he saw Ji Kongqing in his youth, and was instantly amazed, feeling a sense of excitement like breaking through a dimensional wall. He often secretly followed him, using it to inspire his creativity. 

As a result, while watching… one night in his second year of high school, he had an unspeakable dream. 

He was… he was pressed down and subjected to various high-difficulty actions, and his whole body was covered in small love bites. 

Ugh! 

How could human legs be bent to that level of flexibility! It’s not like they’re circus performers practicing acrobatics! 

Because Lu Xi, in his youth, was pure-hearted despite being a bit immature, he was scared by his wet underwear for half a month and avoided the issue like an ostrich, only recovering after graduating from high school. 

However, after graduating from high school, he never saw Ji Kongqing again. 

And now… 

Of course, time had carved many changes on Ji Kongqing, but it seemed that the essence hadn’t changed much. 

The man’s clearly-defined fingers held the wooden handle of the umbrella, the large umbrella covering his shoulders, and he slightly bent down to look at Lu Xi in the car. 

It seemed to isolate the sound of the rain outside, leaving only the other party’s polite and gentlemanly voice, which could not hide his concern. 

Lu Xi snapped back to reality. 

Just now, what did he ask? 

Whether to go to the restaurant together? 

The sudden rain was still falling, large raindrops hitting the windshield, hitting the umbrella above Ji Kongqing’s head, and hitting Lu Xi’s heart. 

His mind was in a mess, but he heard himself calmly reply, “Okay, thank you.” 

Lu Xi was still shocked by his calm and composure until he got under Ji Kongqing’s umbrella and walked out of the parking lot, shoulder to shoulder with the person beside him. 

The rainy air was cool, Ji Kongqing had a typical model figure with broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs. If he were holding an umbrella, it would definitely be the most eye-catching photograph in a magazine. 

But now there was also Lu Xi under the umbrella. 

Lu Xi, as a painter who didn’t like sports, although his muscle content was a bit lacking, the long legs from his 1.8-meter height were an advantage he had been proud of since high school. 

So now, the black umbrella that originally covered Ji Kongqing’s head and looked calm, became cramped and crowded.
