Mu Xiaoxi's eyes gradually turned to the conversation between Chu Yiyi and the man, and she keenly caught the emergence of a problem.

Chu Yiyi smiled, looked at the man, and asked gently: "After marriage, what about housework? Who do you think is responsible for housework?"

The man thought for a while, and then replied calmly: "I am busy at work, so in terms of housework, I think it is more appropriate for you to be in charge."

Chu Yiyi smiled, and seemed to have no opinion on this answer.But Mu Xiaoxi was a little dissatisfied, her brows were slightly frowned, and a feeling of disgust rose in her heart.She believes that in modern society, housework should be shared between husband and wife, rather than being borne entirely by one party.

Seeing Chu Yiyi respond with a smile, Mu Xiaoxi finally couldn't help but said: "You are all office workers, why should only one person do the housework? In today's family, men and women are equal, and everyone has their own responsibility. Things have to be dealt with, why does the housework have to fall on the woman?"

The man was slightly taken aback, then smiled, and said, "Maybe I'm more traditional. I think it's also a traditional habit for men to dominate outside and women to dominate inside."

Mu Xiaoxi's expression gradually became serious, and she continued: "But modern society is already moving forward, and equality between men and women is an important value. Everyone should shoulder their own responsibilities, not just decide based on gender. You all It’s work, and they’re all just off work, so why should the woman be responsible for the housework? Such an approach is unfair.”

Chu Yiyi also interjected: "I agree with Xiaoxi's point of view that housework should be shared by husband and wife, not by one person alone. We are all modern people and should pursue equality and justice."

After hearing Mu Xiaoxi and Chu Yiyi's words, the man seemed to be hesitant. He frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then said quietly: "Perhaps, I am indeed a bit too traditional. Since you all think so, I will Think about it, maybe try sharing the chores.”

Mu Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, watching the man's answer with satisfaction.She hopes that this exchange will make men rethink the division of roles in the family and the importance of equality between men and women.

Chu Yiyi also smiled and said: "This is a process of mutual understanding and mutual growth. I hope we can all achieve equality and happiness in marriage."

The man nodded, showing a hint of comprehension.Mu Xiaoxi's persistence and Chu Yiyi's support made him start to re-examine his own ideas.He understands that equality between men and women is crucial in a healthy marriage relationship.

Chu Yiyi smiled, looked at the man and said, "Actually, I'm unlikely to resign. I have always liked my job and have my own career plans."

The man smiled awkwardly, obviously he did not expect Chu Yiyi to express his position so resolutely.He coughed lightly, and then said: "Then, this question may be a little sudden, I need to think about it."

Chu Yiyi smiled and nodded, expressing her understanding.Then, the topic of the two gradually fell into an awkward silence, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.

After a while, the man smiled helplessly, and said, "It seems that our ideas are not quite the same, maybe we need more time to understand each other."

Chu Yiyi nodded in agreement, and she also felt the awkward atmosphere, after all, there were differences in some concepts between the two.She smiled and said: "Yes, it is important to understand each other. We still have a lot of topics to talk about. It is not necessary to reach an agreement on this issue."

The man nodded, his expression slightly relaxed.Then he glanced at the bill on the table and said, "Since our ideas are a little different, let me pay for this meal."

Chu Yiyi smiled and nodded in agreement.She didn't care about this small detail, after all, the blind date between the two was not for a treat.So, the man got up to check out.

Chu Yiyi sat there quietly, feeling a bit of embarrassment in her heart.She knew that this blind date might not have met her expectations, but she was not disappointed either.After all, every blind date is a process of understanding herself and others, and she is willing to give each other some time and space to think.

When the man came back after paying the bill, he smiled and said to Chu Yiyi: "Thank you for coming here to eat with me. Although we have some differences of opinion, I am still very happy to meet you."

Chu Yiyi also responded with a smile. She said, "Thank you for your invitation. Although our ideas are not exactly the same, I also think this exchange is meaningful."

The two stood up and walked out of the coffee shop.Although this blind date did not generate too many sparks, they both felt a sense of respect and understanding.They may not be the most suitable partners, but this experience also makes them cherish their lives and choices more.So, they bid farewell to each other and went on different paths in life.

Chu Yiyi looked at the man with a smile and expressed her gratitude: "Thank you for your invitation. Although our opinions are somewhat different, I think this blind date is very meaningful."

The man also responded with a smile and said: "Yes, I also feel very happy to meet you, and we also got to know more during the conversation."

Chu Yiyi nodded, and continued: "Actually, I would like to thank my friend Mu Xiaoxi, she is the one who pushed me to participate in this blind date. She has always encouraged me and made me dare to try, otherwise I might not even be able to participate in this blind date. There will be no chance."

The man smiled and nodded, expressing his understanding: "Mu Xiaoxi is really a good friend, she has provided you with a lot of support and help."

Chu Yiyi smiled, and then said: "Yes, she is really a good friend. However, although the result I expected was not achieved this time, I still feel very happy. At least we had a pleasant exchange."

The man nodded in agreement. He looked at Chu Yiyi and said, "Since I invited you to dinner today, let me treat you. I will invite you next time. We can try some different places."

Chu Yiyi smiled and agreed: "Okay, then it's my turn to invite you next time, and I will choose an interesting place."

The two continued to chat about relaxed topics, and gradually, the awkward atmosphere dissipated.Although this blind date may not have brought any special results, they both felt each other's sincerity and respect.So, they spent the night happily and left good memories.

Chu Yiyi glanced at Mu Xiaoxi with a smile, and said, "Mu Xiaoxi, thank you for accompanying me on the blind date today, although the result may not be satisfactory."

Mu Xiaoxi also smiled, shook her head and said, "You're welcome, friends should support each other. Although the blind date didn't work out, you have at least accumulated a valuable experience."

Chu Yiyi nodded, and then said with some hesitation: "Actually, I want to treat you to a meal, thank you for your support and encouragement to me all the time."

Mu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You're welcome, I'd love to have dinner with you, too."

Chu Yiyi smiled happily and said, "That's great, then it's decided. However, I want to choose a quieter place so we can have a good chat."

Mu Xiaoxi nodded in agreement: "No problem, I believe we will have a lot to talk about."

The eyes of the two met, revealing a hint of excitement and anticipation.Although this blind date did not allow Chu Yiyi to find the person she wanted, she did meet a reliable friend in the process.And Mu Xiaoxi also felt Chu Yiyi's strength and courage, and the friendship between the two became deeper because of this.They agreed on the time and place, and decided to meet again in the near future, enjoy a pleasant dinner, and share each other's lives and moods.

The girl hurried into Shen Ye's company lobby, looking around, hoping to find him.She looked at the front desk, saw a young receptionist, and walked over.

The receptionist smiled and asked, "Hi, how can I help you?"

The girl said nervously: "Hello, I'm here to find Mr. Shen Ye, don't you know he's here?"

The receptionist replied friendlyly: "Mr. Shen Ye may be in the office now, did you make an appointment?"

The girl shook her head, and said with some embarrassment: "No, I'm actually his friend and I want to give him a surprise."

The receptionist smiled and nodded: "Understood, just wait a moment, I'll contact his office for you and see if he is convenient for reception now."

The girl nodded and waited for a while before the receptionist called Shen Ye's office.After a while, she hung up the phone, turned to the girl and said, "He's free now, you can find him in his office, the office is on the third floor, turn right at the end of the corridor."

The girl nodded gratefully, then walked quickly in the indicated direction.She was a little nervous. After all, it was her first time coming to the company and she was not familiar with the environment.She found the office sign in the corridor and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." Shen Ye's voice came from inside.

The girl pushed the door open and saw Shen Ye sitting at the desk, concentrating on processing some documents.She said shyly, "Shen Ye, I'm here to find you."

Shen Ye raised his head and looked at her in surprise: "Wow, it's you! Why did you come to the company suddenly?"

The girl smiled and said, "I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to be really busy."

Shen Ye stood up, came over and shook hands with her: "I'm really surprised, I didn't expect you to come to the company to find me. Are you free? We can go to the coffee shop together."

The girl nodded: "Of course, I thought you were not in the company. Just now the receptionist helped me contact your office."

Shen Ye smiled and said: "The efficiency of the front desk is really high, but they are very nice. Alright, let's go."

The two walked out of the office together, Shen Ye closed the door, and then accompanied the girl downstairs to the coffee shop.On the way, they chatted about their recent life and work, and the atmosphere became relaxed and happy.The enthusiasm of the receptionist and the friendliness of Shen Ye made the girl feel very welcome, and this sudden visit became more interesting and memorable.

Sitting in the corner of the coffee shop, Shen Ye chatted quietly with the girl, as if going back in time.They were childhood sweethearts who grew up together and spent countless hours playing, learning and sharing secrets together.

Shen Ye smiled and said, "I never imagined that after so many years, we can still sit and drink coffee together."

The girl also smiled: "Yeah, time flies so fast, sometimes when I think back to our childhood, it still feels like yesterday."

They began to tell stories about their childhood, from hide-and-seek to secretly picking fruit together, each story made them laugh out loud.The girl recalled: "I remember that time when it rained heavily, the two of us hid from the rain in the alley, and then we got wet together."

Shen Ye nodded in agreement: "Yes, and then we went home together and were scolded by our parents, but we still felt very happy at that time."

The girl smiled and said, "Yes, although I got wet, my heart is warm."

Shen Ye looked at the girl with deep emotion in his eyes: "You know, when I was young, I thought you were my best friend, and you have always been my closest person."

The girl smiled slightly and said, "I think so too, Shen Ye, you have always been the person I trust the most."

Their conversations brought them closer together, as if time hadn't pulled them far apart.They talked about their childhood dreams and their current life.Although their paths have parted, their inner feelings have never changed.

The girl suddenly asked: "Shen Ye, how are you doing now?"

Shen Ye smiled and replied: "It's okay, I'm busy with work, but I feel quite fulfilled. How about you? How are you doing?"

The girl sighed softly: "It's okay, the job is good, and the life is stable, but occasionally I feel a little lonely."

Shen Ye looked at her with concern: "Lonely? Didn't you make any friends?"

The girl smiled: "Of course there is, but I always feel that compared with the friends I was with when I was young, they are still different."

Shen Ye held the girl's hand and said softly: "Don't worry, we will meet often in the future, and we can arrange more for moments like this."

The girl nodded slightly with warm eyes: "Well, you are right. No matter what, we are still good friends."

They continued talking, reminiscing, as if rediscovering a lost time.In this quiet coffee shop, the feelings of childhood sweethearts have become stronger, and their friendship has become more precious.

The girl asked cautiously: "Shen Ye, do you have a girlfriend now?"

Shen Ye smiled and shook his head: "I'm already married."

The girl's eyes flickered slightly, and then she regained her composure, and she smiled: "Oh, that's really great, congratulations."

Shen Ye noticed that the girl's expression was slightly disappointed, and he understood her mood in his heart.He tried to change the subject and said, "By the way, what about you? Do you have a boyfriend?"

The girl smiled again: "I haven't found the right person yet." (End of this chapter)
