Chapter 13: Blind Date (Part 2)

Xiang Kun sent a message:

“I’m already here, sitting in the corner. It’ll be easy to spot me, I’m the one with the least hair.”

The pigtailed girl then glanced at her phone and started looking around the cafe. Her gaze quickly landed on Xiang Kun’s bald head.

Could it be her?

With a smile, the girl waved at him, then went to the counter to order something.

She seems to have a nice personality, especially that infectious smile. When she laughed, Xiang Kun found himself smiling too.

But she looked really young. Instead of a 26-year-old office lady who’d been working for three to four years, she seemed more like a freshman in college.

After her order, the girl came over, extended her hand, and greeted him, “Hello, you’re Brother Bin’s classmate, right? I’m Tang Baona.”

Xiang Kun stood up and greeted her, “Hello, I’m Xiang Kun.” He gently shook her soft hand.

Sitting across from Xiang Kun, Tang Baona sounded surprised: “I thought I was pretty early, but to think you’re even earlier! We did agree on 3 o’clock, right? I almost thought I made a mistake thinking it was 2 o’clock!”

Xiang Kun replied, “I had nothing else planned so I came early. The environment here is nice, plus they have air conditioning and Wi-Fi. Killing time with my phone is pretty easy.”

Tang Baona referred to Xiang Kun’s message, “You know what, your ‘hairstyle’ is indeed ‘easy to spot’.”

“Does it glow? The brightest star in the night sky? The brightest head in the corner?” Xiang Kun joked. He had taken off his hat after entering the cafe anyway, as he didn’t have high hopes for this date. He didn’t care whether people found his bald head attractive or not.

“What a cold joke,” Tang Baona laughed, “Why did you shave your hair off? Is it too bothersome to maintain, or because it’s summer and you want to feel cooler? Or, is it a new trend in the IT industry?”

“To be honest, it’s not that I wanted to go bald, I just woke up one day and that’s how it was.”

Tang Baona was startled, “Seriously?”

“Nah, just kidding,” Xiang Kun said, extracting a few photos from a company team-building event several years ago from his phone. “The real reason is my receding hairline. In no time, I’d have a monk’s crown. So, I decided to take the initiative and rid myself of the burden of worrying about hair growth products…”

Tang Baona scrutinized the photos for a long time. She compared them thoroughly with Xiang Kun’s current appearance before believing that the person in the photograph was actually him. She exclaimed, “Is this really your old photo? It seems like a picture of you ten years in the future… It’s not just the hairstyle, but your entire demeanor and body have changed. You look like you work out regularly…”

“Indeed, I threw all my time into my work before, and over the years, I’ve aged quite a bit. So, when my company went under a while back, I immersed myself in the gym to build up my physique. After all, I’ve lost my hair and I’m not particularly handsome, so I’ve resorted to relying on my body for appeal. Oh, right, Chang Bin didn’t mention to you that I’m currently unemployed, did he?”
