Li Xiulan was cooking, and Feng Lihua was chatting with her from the side.
"I’ve been so busy with work all these years that I never really thought about my personal life; I just wanted to keep digging deeper into my research. But after coming back this time, my supervisors urged me. They said they could arrange a few blind dates for me. They figure if I find the right person, I’ll have someone to come home to who cares about my well-being. My parents are pushing me too, so I’ve agreed to let the leaders arrange it. They’ve already vetted the candidates to ensure they come from respectable backgrounds, so I’ll probably start meeting people soon."
When it came to blind dates, Lihua still felt a massive headache. During her undergraduate years, she was busy working in the lab and never gave a thought to relationships; later, her studies became even more intense. She is still pursuing her doctorate, and her future workplace is already set—a research institute. Because she does classified work, her dates must undergo special background checks before they can even meet her.
