Earlier, due to her height of only 154 cm, Xia Bing hadn’t looked closely at the man beside her, as she disliked looking up at people.
The man looked very refined, exactly as Aunt Wen had described, with particularly elegant manners. Xia Bing thought he was just like the gentle and considerate male second lead in a romance drama, someone who made others feel comfortable just by being present.
“I’m Chen Haijun.”
“Xia Bing, like ‘summer insect cannot speak of ice’ Xia Bing.” While listening to his voice, Xia Bing was immersed in his deep, low tone, occasionally losing herself.
I will translate the text into English, following the specified requirements:
My name is Zuo You You Ear, which is quite funny. Your name is also quite special. Xia Bing, with summer being hot and also having ice, it’s quite wonderful.” He explained their names humorously, and there was no awkwardness between them typical of a blind date.
“Could it be that your parents were afraid you wouldn’t listen, so they added two ears to your name?”
“Maybe that’s the case. I was quite mischievous as a child…”
Xia Bing listened attentively, but her stomach rudely growled, and her face instantly turned red.
Chen Haijun smiled softly, “You haven’t touched the coffee I ordered. If you don’t like coffee, we can change locations. Since I just returned to the country, I don’t know what shops are nearby. Do you have any recommendations?”
Xia Bing nodded, and Chen Haijun called the waiter to settle the bill. She quietly observed Chen Haijun, and from their brief conversation, his good manners made him seem like a proper gentleman.
After paying the bill, Chen Haijun turned and caught her observing him, and he smiled slightly. Xia Bing, caught in her staring, became embarrassed.
When Xia Bing stood up, Chen Haijun pulled out her chair for her. Xia Bing tilted her face and softly said thank you, feeling like a queen beside him.
“Mr. Chen, whoever marries you will definitely be very happy,” Xia Bing said with a smile as they left the cafe, wondering how such a perfect man could still be single – had today’s women gone near-sighted?
