"Hello! My name is Li Langqing."
Li Langqing greeted him and prepared to shake hands.
"Hello, I am Bai Suxiang."
Bai Suxiang also said a few words, but showed no intention of shaking hands. Although it was polite to shake hands, she was a little unwilling in her heart, so...
Li Langqing appeared to be quite well-mannered, standing at about 1.8 meters tall.
Compared to Liu Sandao, he was still a bit burly.
"This is..."
Bai Suxiang wanted to introduce Liu Sandao first, then explain the purpose of her visit, and most importantly, clarify that she was not there for a blind date.
"This must be your elder brother! Hello!"
Li Langqing interrupted her. It wasn't that he didn't know it was impolite to interrupt, but from the bottom of his heart, he hoped this man in front of him was not her boyfriend.
"He is..."
Before Bai Suxiang could finish speaking, Liu Sandao replied, "Yes, I am his elder brother!"
"Oh, hehe!"
Li Langqing smiled, feeling a little smug and a little surprised.
Looking at Liu Sandao now, he felt they were indeed siblings: the sister was beautiful, and the brother was handsome too!
"Do you smoke?"
Li Langqing quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket, his movements not very smooth, as he didn't usually smoke.
He carried them around because he had been on a few blind dates and understood a little about etiquette.
"No, thank you."
Liu Sandao's answer was direct.
The situation was a bit awkward. Liu Sandao could tell that Bai Suxiang wasn't very familiar with Li Langqing either. So, how did she get in touch with Li Langqing?
Or, did she really find a way to get his contact information from a data company?
It seemed one couldn't judge a book by its cover; she really had some skills.
Bai Suxiang had been worried at first. What if the Qilin Jade reacted strongly to Li Langqing's presence, making things very awkward?
But, from beginning to end, it had not vibrated again.
"I am here today to..."
Before Bai Suxiang could finish her sentence, Li Langqing said to Liu Sandao, "Brother, may I have a private chat with Suxiang?"
Just as Liu Sandao was about to say something, he saw the Matchmaker waving to him from a chair not far away, signaling him to come over.
"Alright, you two chat. I'll go sit over there!"
"You!"
Bai Suxiang gave Liu Sandao a look of annoyance.
"This guy, I was supposed to help him today, and he was supposed to be my shield. Now, he's just leaving. How am I supposed to face this blind date?"
Although she muttered to herself, she still stood her ground.
Liu Sandao walked towards a chair not far away. An old man sat on the chair, his hair white and his beard as long as his palm, exuding an air of immortal grace.
"Matchmaker, you're not here to tie the knot, are you?"
Liu Sandao asked knowingly.
He had only heard before that the Matchmaker tied the knots of destiny in the Moon Palace, but he didn't know he would come to the mortal world to personally connect them.
"Of course, that's my job."
"Elder, if you can do this in the Moon Palace, why do you need to come to the mortal world?"
Liu Sandao said some pleasantries.
He was just making conversation because he had nothing else to say. Fu Ruhai was good at chatting, but he really wasn't suited for it.
However, since the Matchmaker had signaled him to come over, it wouldn't be good to just sit there in silence.
This was because the seats they were in were directly opposite Bai Suxiang and Li Langqing.
"Who says, who dictates that my job can only be done in the Moon Palace!"
The Matchmaker feigned anger.
Liu Sandao smiled and said no more. When you don't know what to say, the best thing to do is shut up and listen.
"Tsk tsk tsk, truly a talented man and a beautiful woman! A perfect match, a perfect match!"
The Matchmaker said to Bai Suxiang and Li Langqing.
"Them?"
Liu Sandao also pointed at them and asked.
"Not them, then who? Hmph!"
As the Matchmaker spoke, he casually took out a small box, inside which was a tree with many small red strings.
From common sense, this should be the destiny tree, and the small strings on it were the threads of destiny.
The Matchmaker then carefully pulled out a red string from the box and was about to tie it to another red string.
However, the red string seemed to be too short, and he needed to pick up another one.
Liu Sandao was seeing this scene for the first time and was curious: "Is this how destiny is tied?"
"Which one should I tie? I'll pull it for you!"
Liu Sandao asked with interest.
"Tsk tsk! Go away, go away, how can you touch the threads of destiny?" The Matchmaker said, lowering the red string in his hand and stroking his beard.
"Li Langqing! Come, come!"
The Matchmaker said and reached out again to pull Li Langqing's red string.
"It's not long enough, can't you see? Let me help you pull it! Tell me, whose name, whose string?"
Liu Sandao said eagerly, as if he were now the Matchmaker, specifically helping people tie knots.
The Matchmaker didn't answer. Liu Sandao preemptively said, "Bai Suxiang, right? Which one is it, I'll pull!"
The Matchmaker had pointed out that Bai Suxiang and Li Langqing were a match made in heaven and then picked up Li Langqing's red string. This destiny was clearly meant for them, Liu Sandao was certain.
"That one, that one, the one below your right little finger!"
The Matchmaker, seeing Liu Sandao's impatience, casually said.
Although the small box in his hand was only the size of his palm, it contained a vast universe within.
However, these were naturally not difficult for Liu Sandao.
Following the direction the Matchmaker pointed, Liu Sandao quickly found Bai Suxiang's red string.
However, as he was pulling it, his hand trembled slightly, and the string fell back.
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you still shaking at such a young age!"
The Matchmaker teased.
"It's just... it's my first time tying destiny, I'm not used to it! Watch this!"
Liu Sandao said and reached out again to pull Bai Suxiang's string.
This time, he wouldn't shake his hand; his first attempt at tying destiny must succeed!
Liu Sandao firmly grasped the string. To prevent his hand from shaking, he gently supported his right wrist with his left hand.
"Hey, one, two, three!"
The Matchmaker even shouted a slogan and casually reached out with the red string in his hand to connect Liu Sandao's string. A light touch would instantly connect them.
This destiny would be sealed!
"Clang!" Something hit Liu Sandao on the head.
"Ouch!"
Liu Sandao, who was concentrating on connecting the strings, was hit on the head by something.
He felt a "buzz" in his head and cried out.
"Sorry, sorry, uncle, grandpa, I'm sorry! I didn't do it on purpose!"
A childish voice said.
Liu Sandao then noticed a child of about five or six years old standing in front of him, with a football lying beside the chair.
"This brat ruined a good deed!"
