Chapter 142 The Secret Singles Operation
Yuan Bao almost burst out laughing when he saw his older brother's face turn bright red, as if he wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.
He thought to himself, "My brother is already this old, but I didn't expect him to be so shy about marriage like a young boy."
Her eyes darted around, and an idea came to her. A bold and interesting plan quickly took shape in her mind—she decided to keep it a secret from her older brother, secretly find him a suitable partner, and then arrange a blind date without him knowing, launching a "secret singles operation."
Without hesitation, Yuan Bao started "matchmaking mode" that very night.
She went through her WeChat contacts and posted a "recruitment notice" in various social groups, describing in detail her brother's advantages: down-to-earth, capable, kind-hearted, and responsible. She also attached a "handsome photo" of her brother (of course, carefully selected and beautified).
Before long, messages poured in like snowflakes, some enthusiastically recommending their own relatives, others sharing their blind date experiences; Yuan Bao's phone screen was practically overflowing with messages.
After careful selection, Yuan Bao narrowed it down to several girls who were quite good in all aspects.
She first chatted privately with the girls, giving a detailed account of her brother's situation, and even embellishing it with a few words of praise, portraying him as an "ideal man."
Fortunately, the girls had a good initial impression of the eldest brother, which greatly boosted Yuan Bao's confidence.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Bao began arranging the matchmaking venue.
She found an elegant, quiet, and comfortable coffee shop, and after contacting the owner in advance, requested the most secluded private room.
To lower her brother's guard, she lied to him, saying, "Brother, I've arranged to meet a friend at that coffee shop tomorrow to discuss something. Would you like to come with me and give me some advice?"
The eldest brother always listened to Yuan Bao's words without question and agreed without even thinking.
On the day of the blind date, Yuan Bao took his older brother to a coffee shop early in the morning.
The older brother looked around, still bewildered, muttering, "Where's your friend? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Yuan Bao smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, I'll be there soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the first girl walked in gracefully.
The older brother's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Yuan Bao with a horrified expression: "Little sister, what are you doing?"
Yuan Bao quickly covered his older brother's mouth and whispered, "Big brother, don't make a sound, this is a surprise for you!"
The girl sat down gracefully and greeted everyone with a smile.
The older brother was so nervous that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. His face turned red and white in turns. After a long pause, he managed to squeeze out, "You... hello, have you eaten yet?"
Yuan Bao, watching from the side, couldn't help but facepalm. He quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Brother, don't be nervous. Let's chat for a bit."
Then, she frantically winked at her older brother, hinting that he should take the initiative. He understood and tried to start a conversation: "Um... I usually like listening to music, do you like it?"
The girl paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I quite like it, but I prefer buying things online; it feels more relevant to my daily life."
Seeing this, Yuan Bao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and silently prayed that his older brother could "perform exceptionally well".
Finally, the blind date was over, and the older brother breathed a sigh of relief. He grabbed Yuan Bao and was about to leave: "Little sister, please don't cause any more trouble. I really can't handle it."
Yuan Bao was unwilling to give up, and coaxed and lied, "Brother, try one more time, just this once! Maybe the next one will be your soulmate!" Just then, the second girl walked towards them...
The second girl walked over with light steps, a sweet smile on her face, and politely greeted Yuan Bao and his older brother.
Under Yuan Bao's intense gaze, the older brother tried to calm himself down, but when he opened his mouth, he still said the same old thing: "Um... are you usually busy?"
The girl was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting her older brother to start like that. She could only smile awkwardly and reply, "It's alright, work isn't too busy."
In the ensuing conversation, the older brother seemed to be frozen in place, unable to think of any more topics besides nodding and agreeing, and the scene reached a stalemate.
Yuan Bao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, constantly trying to wink at her older brother, but he just couldn't understand her meaning, and several conversations ended in vain.
This blind date ended even faster than the last one. After the girl left, the older brother looked dejected and hung his head, saying, "Little sister, you see, I told you I wasn't good enough. Don't waste your energy anymore."
Looking at his dejected older brother, Yuan Bao felt sorry for him and secretly vowed to help him find a partner.
She figured that her older brother was a dull person, and his previous blind dates were too direct, which made him nervous and perform poorly.
Therefore, Yuan Bao decided to change his strategy and give his older brother a "blind date training" first.
That evening, Yuan Bao pulled his older brother into the living room, set up his laptop, and began the first lesson of his "special training"—chatting skills.
"Brother, look, in the future, don't always ask dry questions when chatting. You have to start with the details of life, such as asking what movies she likes to watch or whether she likes sports." As he spoke, Yuan Bao even personally demonstrated, vividly imitating a scene of chatting with a girl.
The older brother sat to the side, listening attentively and nodding occasionally, but there was still a hint of confusion in his eyes.
To help her older brother become more skilled, Yuan Bao even invited a few of her close friends to simulate blind date scenarios, allowing her brother to practice repeatedly.
At first, the older brother was still stammering, often causing awkward silences or saying the wrong thing, which made everyone laugh and cry.
But with Yuan Bao's patient guidance, the older brother gradually improved, began to actively share his life, and even learned some humorous ways of expression.
After several days of "special training," Yuan Bao felt the time was right and began arranging new blind dates.
This time, instead of having her older brother meet the girl directly, she first organized a small outdoor picnic party, inviting several girls who were interested in blind dates, hoping that everyone could get to know each other in a relaxed and natural atmosphere.
On the day of the picnic, encouraged by Yuan Bao, the older brother took the initiative to chat with the girls.
He was a little reserved at first, but he gradually relaxed and shared his funny stories about selling fertilizer and helping his fellow villagers farm in his hometown, which made the girls laugh non-stop.
Yuan Bao watched from the sidelines, her heart filled with relief. She knew that this "secret operation to find a partner" might actually have a chance of success.
