Reborn As Lucky Star-Chapter 148 - Blind Date Begins

Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Blind Date Begins

On the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month, Yue Jiannan was roused from bed by his eldest brother before dawn.

He put on the new clothes Yue Xiaofang had prepared especially for the New Year.

The whole family then watched as he washed and groomed.

Yue Jiannan’s back tingled under their scrutiny.

He dared not carelessly wipe his face with a towel as he usually did, but reluctantly scrubbed it over and over again.

Lin Chunju, with a stern face, dragged him to the yard for inspection.

Only when she was sure he wasn’t yawning and shedding dandruff like usual did she nod in approval.

Just as Yue Jiannan breathed a sigh of relief, his eldest brother came over with a long canister, shaking it up and down.

“What’s this?”

“When I delivered goods to the city, I noticed a lot of young men putting this on their hair, so I bought a can for you yesterday.”

Yue Jiannan looked down, only to hear a hissing sound.

A mass of foam-like substance was sprayed onto his head.

His hair was slicked back and soon hardened.

Yue Jiandong then handed him a pair of leather shoes, “These are also new, made of real leather, you should be careful not to scuff them.”

For this blind date, the Yue family had indeed spent a fair amount of money.

But it was the same for every household in Daye Village; after all, it was a matter of utmost importance in one’s life and couldn’t be taken lightly.

There were also many who would borrow shoes and clothes from their neighbors to look presentable for a blind date.

After being decked out from head to toe, Yue Jiannan nervously accepted the scrutiny from his entire family.

“Does it… look okay?”

Yue Jianxi, seeing his brother’s anxious appearance, couldn’t help but smirk.

You rascal who’s always so overconfident, finally meets his match today.

However, the women were all seriously sizing him up.

Zhang Ying examined him from head to toe, “I still feel like something’s missing.”

Wang Xiaoni clapped her hands, “His hair doesn’t seem shiny enough, perhaps add some scented oil?”

Zhang Ying immediately went to the kitchen, “Right, right, I’ll go get it.”

Yue Jiannan hastily interjected, “Let’s not, I feel like even a fly would break its legs if it landed on my hair now.”

But the others didn’t care and dabbed a bit of oil onto his hair with their fingers.

His hair looked as if it could reflect light.

It truly matched the aesthetic of the era.

In any case, people on that black-and-white TV at the village chief’s house often sported such hairstyles.

Yue Jiannan felt uncomfortable from head to toe, but the family seemed quite pleased with his appearance.

“Not bad, what a handsome young man.”

“Our third son has inherited his mother’s brows and eyes, very attractive!”

Upon hearing this, Yue Jiannan couldn’t help but straighten his back.

But before he could show off, the Yue family’s attention shifted again.

“Is everything inside the house cleaned? Wipe the table one more time.”

“Is the ground in front of the door swept? Sprinkle some water on it, the wind is a bit strong today, don’t want any dust kicking up.”

Yue Jiannan, crouched in a corner drawing circles, was completely forgotten by the family.

And so, amidst great anticipation, the Yu family finally arrived with Yu Yaxian entering the outer courtyard.

Yue Qingqing and Yue Xingxing peeked out the window.

Yue Xingxing asked with innocent excitement, “Is my little uncle going to get a bride, can we eat delicious food now?”

Her impression of weddings was largely focused on the plates of braised pork knuckles served at the banquet.

“I don’t know.”

Yue Qingqing craned her neck and finally caught sight of the other main character of this blind date.

Yu Yaxian had clearly dressed up for the occasion.

She wore a long skirt in fashion at the time, and her shiny black hair was braided into two plaits resting alongside her face.

Upon being welcomed in, she smiled sweetly, a small dimple on one cheek making her look even sweeter.

Yue Qingqing had a hunch that this was exactly her little uncle’s type, though the aura of the other party was…

But matchmaking was a matter that depended on both parties involved, and Yue Qingqing knew the saying that it’s better to tear down ten temples than to destroy one marriage.

As expected, the usually boisterous Yue Jiannan appeared somewhat slow-witted today, staring at Yu Yaxian’s face for a long while without saying a word.

His cheeks began turning visibly red at a rapid pace.

Lin Chunju stealthily pinched him, and Yue Jiannan then stutteringingly opened his mouth.

“Please, come in and have a seat.”

Like a clueless goose, Yu Yaxian, seeing his demeanor, flashed a hint of triumph in her eyes, her smile deepening.

Yue Jiannan was completely smitten by her dimples at that point.
