"W-wait a minute!!!"
"What the hell kind of half-European are you talking about!!!"
When Liu Xi snapped out of her stupor, she couldn’t help but slam her hands on the table and roar in shock.
Wang Baiyu, Zeng Ziang, and the others glanced at Lin Li.
Hmm, steady.
Realizing she had caused a scene, Liu Xi apologized with a gesture to those around her before quietly questioning again.
"Doesn’t this still count as half a person?" Lin Li asked Liu Xi confusedly, "Plus, he’s quite handso."
Liu Xi: "..."
But it’s literally just "half a person"! It’s completely different from the mixed-race hunk I was expecting, okay!!
Even if it’s not a mixed-race hunk, a hot hybrid would do, why did it have to be a disabled hunk——
"High nose bridge, big eyes, fair skin, he has all the European features, seems to fit Miss Liu’s requirents, right?" Lin Li enthusiastically introduced.
Liu Xi: "..."
Seeing Lin Li earnestly pitching his half friend, Liu Xi found it absurd and bizarre.
It felt like searching on Baidu for "how to remove pesticide residues from vegetables," only for Baidu to pop up a route map from "vegetables" to "pesticide residues," making her feel "What the hell kind of joke is this?"
"What do you say? If Miss Liu is satisfied, should I give you his ICU intensive care room number? I’ll be your wingman, secretly unplug his oxygen so you can give him mouth-to-mouth right away; lock eyes, and maybe you’ll fall in love at first sight! Forever dood together!"
"When you guys get married, I’ll gift you a wheelchair, just like Hawking’s that got vacated..."
Watching Lin Li get more and more excited, seemingly imrsed in his own world, Liu Xi’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
Who gives an ICU room number as a contact when matchmaking?
"S-sorry, I-I think I still prefer being alone, half a person’s love is still too crowded, let’s just forget it." Liu Xi awkwardly smiled and declined.
After all, she’s a carnivorous woman, having directly stated before that sexual compatibility is one of her criteria for a mate.
If Lin Li’s friend had only lost his upper half, Liu Xi might have considered it, but since it’s the lower half missing, it’s a definite no-go.
"Alright then, I’ll see if I have other friends eting your requirents," Lin Li nodded regretfully but wasn’t discouraged:
"By the way, does it have to be a human? Can non-humans be acceptable?"
Liu Xi took a deep breath, now hard not to notice Lin Li was doing this on purpose.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Bai, apologies again for my forwardness earlier, I give up, really not coveting you anymore, let’s just pretend to chat until the event’s over."
"Okay." Lin Li smiled and nodded without objection, feeling the odd look in Liu Xi’s eyes but not caring, feeling even more at ease for it.
Liu Xi took out her phone intending to do her own thing, suddenly rembered sothing, hesitated, then turned to Lin Li, deliberating her words:
"Mr. Bai, you guys are generally better at using digital products, right? I have a problem I might need your help with. I accidentally reset my phone to factory settings, losing many photos, and I didn’t back up my university photos, it’s such a pity to lose them, is there any way to retrieve them?"
Expecting another shocking comnt from Liu Xi, Lin Li furrowed his brow upon hearing the earnest request, thought for a few seconds, then spoke:
"Miss Liu, about the university photos... have you considered redoing your studies?"
Liu Xi: "(゜▽゜)?"
R-redoing?!
"As long as you redo your studies, you can retrieve your university photos." Lin Li seed worried Liu Xi didn’t understand and further explained.
Liu Xi: "☉‿☉"
What! The! Hell!
If she started a new topic voluntarily or involuntarily with Lin Li again, she’d be a fool☉‿☉.
"Thanks, I’ll consider it." Liu Xi responded, her smile not reaching her eyes.
"Seriously speaking, for your situation,"
Seeing Liu Xi even pull her chair back a bit, Lin Li chuckled:
"Normally, to try and recover data, you need to avoid any new actions on the phone, like saving new files, taking pictures, downloading apps, as new data might overwrite the deleted photos, causing permanent loss. Keeping this in mind, try cloud backups and professional data recovery software."
"That’s all I know, I really can’t claim to be very knowledgeable about this."
"I see, thank you." Liu Xi replied.
"You’re welco."
Seeing Liu Xi didn’t seem to listen and started playing on her phone again, Lin Li didn’t mind, sipped his drink, stretched, and instinctively looked around.
Feeling a twinge of guilt.
It was ntioned earlier that Fan Hong didn’t know there were girls like Liu Xi among the event participants who weren’t interested in blind dating, so Lin Li was matched with soone like a tank from the previous event.
But now Lin Li is paired with Liu Xi, and as the event mbers are one-to-one, there must be an unlucky guy paired with that heavyweight presence.
Clicking his tongue, seeing soone across improvising excuses to fool a partner with just a fold, the unfortunate guy’s face paled even more than Liu Xi’s earlier.
This is the female version of Ryo, huh.
Lin Li isn’t capable of mind reading yet, unable to hear what the guy was trying to ntally comfort himself with——
