Gu Fei was quite good-looking, especially when he smiled. He had a dimple on his left cheek, which made him look younger than his age and rather cute. He smiled at Shi Xiu and said, “I understand, but I want to ask you for a favor.”

Shi Xiu was a person more open to softer approaches and rejected forceful ones vehemently. Seeing Gu Fei’s genial attitude, she yielded slightly and replied, “I’ll listen, but I make no promises.”

Gu Fei was unfazed by Shi Xiu’s attitude and chuckled, “I want you to sit with me like this for a while so our elders inside will think we’re having a good chat. This way, they won’t bother me about this matter anytime soon. The next time

I go out to do something, I’ll say I went on a date with you.”

‘What?” Shi Xiu looked at Gu Fei in shock. “You mean, lie to them?”

Gu Fei shrugged. “Why not? After some time, when their enthusiasm wanes, we’ll find an excuse to say that our personalities don’t match and that we can’t get along. Isn’t it better to break up peacefully than to go against them directly?”

Shi Xiu’s eyes widened. “You seem like you have a lot of experience with this!

Gu Fei laughed and quickly waved his hand. “No, this is my first time doing something like this.”

“No way! That’s too well-thought-out for your first time. It’s clearly a lesson only learned from much experience! And it sounds very feasible, too, ” Shi Xiu commented.

Gu Fei cracked up and laughed. Shi Xiu gave it some thought and told him, “However, you don’t have to do this. My family respects my decisions. My grandfather, parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law won’t force me if I say I don’t want this matchmaking.”

Gu Fei’s smile crumbled, and he uttered, “That’s why I said I’m asking for your help. I know you don’t need to go through all that trouble to get your relatives to drop this matter, but my relatives are a different story. Please take pity on me and help me get through this. Your act has to be convincing, though. My peers and my family’s elders aren’t easy to fool.”

“My relatives aren’t easy to fool either.” Shi Xiu set him right. ‘My relatives aren’t stupid! Though it sounds like his relatives are quite dumb.’
