Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 59, Encounter with Zheng Lan

Not long after Wang Li returned to his room, Lai Xiaomei followed him in and comforted him, saying: Brother Wang Li, don't be discouraged. Those girls look down on you because they have no taste.

I believe Auntie Wang will find a satisfactory girl for you. Well, well...if there is really no suitable one, I can also be your girlfriend.

Wang Li was very moved when he heard Lai Xiaomei's words. He touched her head and said, "Don't worry, Lai Xiaomei, I won't take it seriously. In fact, I don't like the three of them. I said that because I was afraid that my mother would be angry. Don't worry!"

And how old are you, little girl? Wait a few more years!
As he said this, he flicked Lai Xiaomei's nose with his hand.

Lai Xiaomei's face flushed and she said shyly: "Why are you flicking my nose? If my nose is flattened, I will blame you!"
After saying that, she shyly went to clean the room for Wang Li.

Wang Li looked at her busy figure, smiled gently, and went about his own business.

From that day on, Wang Li's mother and several female elders who were on good terms with him began to get busy. Their main job was to find a girl who was about the same age as Wang Li, had a gentle personality, and looked like what Wang Li liked, and came from a decent family.

After finding the girl, several people would take a look at her first, pass the screening for Wang Li, and then introduce the girl to Wang Li. In short, Wang Li started his blind date career.

It would take until he found someone he liked, otherwise these middle-aged women would not let him go. After all, among the people they were close to, he was the only one who didn't have a girlfriend.

In the blink of an eye, some time passed, and Wang Li still hadn't met his other half.

That day, his mother contacted him with another girl who was said to be very pretty and virtuous, and came from a very well-off family.

This was introduced by Zhang Fang’s father Zhang Lei, and is said to be more reliable.

The two agreed to the same old routine, meeting at the entrance of Shichahai Park, with army green backpacks and red notebooks.

After finishing breakfast, Wang Li headed towards Shichahai. Because the weather was good recently, he arrived nearly an hour earlier than the agreed time of nine o'clock.

He wanted to take a walk in Shichahai Park first. After all, he didn't take this blind date too seriously. After all, he had seen 20 to 30 girls during this period and was almost numb.

Wang Li strolled around Shichahai Park for a while and walked to the entrance of Shichahai Park. Suddenly, he saw a girl with shoulder-length hair, which was rare in that era, standing at the entrance of the park with her back to him.

What also caught his attention was the girl, who was holding a red notebook and carrying a green messenger bag. Wang Li found that her blind date outfit was the same as his, so he walked towards the girl.

He walked a few steps behind the girl and greeted her, saying: Hello, comrade.

The girl turned around when she heard someone talking to her.

After the girl turned her head, Wang Li's expression was a little dazed, and then he returned to normal.

I took the initiative to step forward and said: I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I thought I arrived early, so I took a walk around the park first. I didn't expect you to be here before me. I'm so sorry!
The girl was slightly stunned and thought to herself: You are really good at shopping. I am already late, and you are even later than me!
Thinking about it, the girl took the initiative to suggest: Let’s go for a walk in the park first.

As she spoke, she walked towards the park. Wang Li scratched his head awkwardly and followed the girl towards the park. There was a reason why Wang Li was stunned just now, because this girl was so beautiful! Moreover, this girl had a feeling that was not found in women of this era, a feeling that was closer to the temperament of modern women.

This girl's appearance also suits his aesthetic standards. She looks very much like a female star that Wang Li likes in modern society, mature, beautiful, dignified and generous.

In short, Wang Li felt that he was attracted to her. The only surprise was that the girl looked much older and more mature than the 17 years old his mother told him. However, this girl was more in line with Wang Li's aesthetic needs. After all, the combined age of his two lives was 50 years.

The two walked around the park for a while, but didn't talk much. They just talked about the beautiful scenery of the park.

It was this conversation that changed the girl's impression of Wang Li and made her feel more favorable towards him.

This liking is not about emotion, but about thinking that he is a good person, has a certain cultural background, is talkative, and has a good personality.

So after strolling for a while, the two of them walked out of Shichahai Park through the side door. After walking out of the park.

The girl extended her right hand to Wang Li: Let me introduce myself formally, my name is Zheng Lan, I’m 28 years old, and I just returned from studying abroad.

Wang Li was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then replied very naturally: My name is Wang Li, I am a few years younger than you, now I work at the Kyoto Purchasing Station, and I graduated from high school.

After hearing his words, the girl was also slightly stunned. At this time, the two of them already knew that they seemed to have kissed the wrong person!
But neither of them said anything. After all, it wasn't a blind date with anyone. They didn't know each other anyway. If they met someone they liked, they would just talk to them first.

When Zheng Lan heard Wang Li introduce him as a few years younger than her, she didn't pay much attention to it. After all, Wang Li developed earlier, was more mature physically, and even more mature mentally.

Therefore, he does not feel like an 18-year-old young man.

Zheng Lan asked Wang Li: I want to go to the bookstore to buy some books, do you have time?
Wang Li nodded in agreement: If we have time, I also want to buy some reference books, let’s do it together.

After that, the two of them walked towards the bookstore. On the way to the bookstore, the two of them gave a brief introduction of themselves and let the other party know their general situation.

The two were quite satisfied with each other's situation, so they agreed to meet at the entrance of Shichahai Park at 8 o'clock next Sunday and then parted ways.

Coincidentally, both of them were thinking about how to explain the situation to their elders when they got home.

After all, by accident, both of them stood up others.

Note: Wang Li has lived two lives, so his actual mental age must be older, at least his mental age is older than the 30 years old before he traveled through time. Therefore, it is normal for him to like the mature, beautiful and generous Zheng Lan. The author believes that 28 is the most attractive stage for women. Those who understand will understand!

After the reform and opening up, they will continue to appear and the two female protagonists will be much younger than Wang Li. But don't worry, there will be no unreasonable intrusion.
