Chapter 8: How Can You Fail at a Blind Date? Waiting Online!

"Mr. Lu? You're awake~~"

Miss Bai turned back and gave him a gentle smile. "Just a moment, it'll be ready soon."

She pulled off one of her own arms and dropped it to the floor.

That arm curled up into a writhing mass of flesh before growing into a new Miss Bai.

Complete with clothes.

The same outfit: a white shirt, black tie, black women's suit pants, and braided hair.

Honestly, that outfit accentuated her curves beautifully and looked quite stunning.

Though the naked apron look was quite alluring too, despite wearing a bikini underneath.

It was just that the splattered pool of fresh blood was a bit off-putting.

As if sensing Lu Li’s gaze, under his twitching eyes, the blood on Apron Bai flowed backward into the wound on her shoulder, then solidified and grew a new arm.

From bones to blood vessels and meridians, then flesh filling in, skin, and even nails—

Nothing was missing.

Lu Li felt a wave of nausea.

But oddly enough, it was kind of thrilling!

He just thought it was a little cool.

But also disgusting.

Well, disgusting and cool it is.

Apron Bai continued cooking, while Braided Bai in the white shirt pulled Lu Li to sit at the dining table.

"Mr. Lu~~" Miss Bai rested her chin on her delicate, intertwined fingers, her tone light and cheerful. "Shall we continue our blind date~~?"

Lu Li stared at her flawless beauty, surpassing human limits.

Her golden eyes were unfocused, but Lu Li felt his own reflection shimmering within them.

He sighed, "Actually... you’re not the person I’m supposed to be on this date with, right?"

Braided Bai paused, then asked, "You’ve met her?"

"No comment."

Lu Li already knew.

Miss Bai truly had no idea about the outside world.

So this was indeed his dream.

Just how she got in here, he didn’t know.

Seeing Lu Li’s stiff reaction, Miss Bai didn’t get angry either.

Her soft, moist lips curved slightly upward. "Mr. Lu, let’s play a game."

Her pair of unfocused golden eyes fixed intently on him.

Lu Li raised an eyebrow. "What kind of game?"

"Truth or Dare," she said, winking with one eye. "We take turns asking each other a question. The other must answer. If they don’t want to answer, they can skip, but if they do answer, it has to be the truth."

"If one answers, the other must answer too. If one skips, the other can skip as well. How about that?"

She winked again. "I have nothing to hide from you, Mr. Lu~~"

"Alright!" Lu Li bit his lip and agreed to the rules.

He needed to find out a lot of information, all for survival.

If he could fail this blind date, that would be even better!

But Lu Li waited for a while, and Braided Bai just smiled at him wordlessly.

Unable to hold back, Lu Li asked, "Who goes first?"

"Of course you, Mr. Lu," Braided Bai’s eyes curved like crescent moons. "Well, I’ve already answered your question. Now it’s my turn to ask~"

Lu Li: "."

Damn! I’ve been tricked!

I have to take control of this game!

His competitive spirit was ignited.

He was also quite carefree.

And Miss Bai looked so beautiful now that he completely dropped his guard.

Well, not entirely.

Braided Bai thought for a moment, then asked, "Mr. Lu, if you were to describe yourself as an animal, what would it be?"

Without hesitation, Lu Li replied, "A parrot."

Braided Bai looked puzzled. "Oh? Why is that?"

Lu Li: "Oh? Why is that?"

Braided Bai: "You’re really cute~~"

Lu Li: "You’re really cute."

Braided Bai: "I love you~~"

Lu Li: "I love... I apologize, sorry."

He bowed his head and admitted defeat decisively.

A good husband knows when to yield.

"I'm happy, so it’s fine," Braided Bai said, playing with the strands near her temple with slender fingers. Her pale knuckles betrayed how nervous she really was inside.

She was terrified!

But Lu Li couldn’t tell.

"Mr. Lu, it’s your turn to ask~"

"Alright," Lu Li decided to change the mood with a light topic.

But it had to relate to the blind date.

It had to be subtle, yet clear enough for her to understand.

After thinking it over, he came up with a good question.

"Miss Bai, did you talk to someone you like today?"

The question was clever—so clever Lu Li wanted to give himself a thumbs up.

On the surface, it was a simple question, but it held many layers.

First, Lu Li meant: if you have someone you like, then don’t bother me, there’s no chance between us.

Second, it was a test to see if she had someone she liked.

If she said no, then whoever hijacked his blind date had other motives.

Miss Bai’s answer was immediate: "Yes, I did."

Lu Li was taken aback, instinctively asking, "What did you say?"

"I said it," Miss Bai smiled sweetly.

"I know," Lu Li frowned. "I mean, what did you say to him?"

"I said it," Miss Bai’s answer remained simple.

"I already said I know! I’m asking what you said to him, huh? This..."

Suddenly, Lu Li realized what was going on, then averted his gaze from Miss Bai’s smiling eyes.

Damn! Why does my heart feel like it’s racing?

Alright, Lu Li admitted he was being flirted with.

It was too damn overwhelming!

How he was being seduced? He’d figure that out himself.

"Okay, give me a moment," Lu Li pressed one hand to his forehead and raised the other in a stopping gesture.

After three minutes, he lowered his hand, took a deep breath, and regained his composure. "Your turn to ask."

Miss Bai pointed at his face. "Mr. Lu, your smile is stretched all the way to the back of your head. What’s making you so happy?"

"…" Lu Li couldn’t hold it in any longer. He lowered his head and said softly, "A girl who’s so stunningly beautiful, almost unreal, and so gentle, who even says she likes me... I think anyone normal would find that hard to resist."

No matter the gender.

He waited for a while, but Miss Bai didn’t tease him back.

Lu Li looked up and met her golden eyes shimmering with moisture.

The woman’s face was flushed.

So much so that even her earlobes, ear edges, and neck were rosy.

"Mr. Lu~~~" Her voice was so soft it could intoxicate.

Not quite intoxicating, but Lu Li couldn’t help but smile.

Yes, that kind of genuine, heartwarming happiness.

"Your turn to ask~"

Alright! The main event is here!

Lu Li’s gaze sharpened instantly as he asked the soul-piercing question.

"Miss Bai, what do you like about me? I can change it."

Miss Bai’s answer struck straight to the soul: "I like the way you don’t like me."

Lu Li: "."

What the hell do I do with that?
