Chapter 2 - Escape This Blind Date (2/2)
Li Qin Yao shook her head as she tried to clear her mind. A part of her felt guilty for her action. She could only hope that the two-person beside her would not notice her movement.
Then, Qin Yao heard the man beside her said, ”Alright. I'll be there soon.”
Soon, he hung up and placed his phone gently on the table. ”I'm sorry. That was my sister,” he informed.
”You have a sister?” the woman smiled. ”Tell me about your family.”
He hesitated for a few seconds. ”I would love to, but. I'm sorry. I have to go now. My sister called to tell me that there's an emergency and—”
Li Qin Yao accidentally let out a chuckle at his excuse. Isn't this is the classic method to escape an unwanted blind date? She didn't expect that she was able to witness it!
Wait! What if this man planned to have someone give him a call at this time to escape this blind date?
Feeling the man beside him turned to look at her, she coughed a few times and drank her tea, but found that her cup was already empty. There was nothing she could do but to continue pretending.
”It's fine,” the girl said, dejected. ”We can do this next time.”
The man turned to grab his backpack and heaved a sigh. ”Rain check?”
”Sure.”
Li Qin Yao looked away, pretending to pick up some unagi sushi from the conveyor belt when he pushed the chair behind him to stand up. She watched the man paid his bills and headed out with the corner of her eyes.
That was a blind date, and they did not exchange their contact numbers before they parted.
Li Qin Yao wondered if the two had exchanged their contact before this, or did the man successfully executed his plan to escape his blind date.
Anyhow, it was not her problem.
She picked up her phone from the table to leave and realized that something was off. She was holding the same phone model and the same color, but the phone in her hand was not hers!
