Brian Clark immediately forgot about being too lazy to wash his lunchbox the moment he heard the name "Yu Hua." He let out a long sigh and said, "Do you guys think it's because I don't make enough money, so he's under too much pressure, and that's what's causing the relationship crisis? Is he going to get a divorce?"

An empty-stomached Eric Webb, who had just drunk some cola, rubbed his temples helplessly. He really shouldn't have gotten involved in Brian Clark's affairs from the start. Back then, he just wanted to help his good buddy get rid of the elders' constant nagging about marriage. When did things start turning out like this?

It was probably four years ago. Back then, Brian Clark was only 21, living a carefree and wild life. Whenever he had free time, he would take his buddies to try all kinds of extreme sports. The young him was living the life everyone else wanted.

The younger guys envied Brian Clark, but his family was worried sick. It was one thing for a young man to be unsettled and playful, but couldn't Brian Clark pick something safer and more normal to do? Every time he did extreme sports, the elders were scared to death.

At that time, one of Brian Clark's many aunts suggested, "Has this kid really not dated anyone in 21 years? For boys, once they start dating, they become more mature. A girlfriend's words are more effective than anything we elders say."

So the family started frantically setting up blind dates for Brian Clark. He was dumbfounded and protested, "I'm not even at the legal age for marriage yet! Aren't you all being a bit too hasty?"

The elders replied, "It's fine, it's fine. You can date for two or three years before getting married."

Forced into a corner, Brian Clark stomped his feet in frustration: "I don't like women, I like men!"

This was just an excuse he used to get the elders to stop arranging blind dates. Who would have thought, after discussing it, the elders kindly said, "So... do you like someone among your friends? If you do, bring him home. I think that Eric Webb..."

Brian Clark was instantly horrified. He couldn't even imagine those little brothers he bullied during training becoming his partners. He shook his head like a rattle drum: "No, no, no, I haven't met anyone I like yet!"

The elders said, "You won't meet a good match if you keep doing those dangerous extreme sports every day. Let us introduce someone to you."

The elders were relentless, acting as if even if he liked someone who wasn't human, they could still find him a match.

Brian Clark knew there was no way to avoid the blind dates, so he had a sudden idea: if he couldn't refuse the elders, he could at least make sure the blind date wouldn't like him!

So Brian Clark said pickily, "My type is... the complete opposite of my group of rowdy friends: cultured, better looking than me, likes to wear suits, can speak at least five foreign languages, preferably a graduate from a top 985 or 211 university in China, a bit older than me but not too much, not a government worker, has career prospects in a company, will be able to support me with their future monthly salary, and is obviously a social elite!"

These harsh requirements really stumped his family. Just as Brian Clark was secretly congratulating himself on his cleverness, his father Mark Clark spoke up thoughtfully, "I have an old comrade. After retiring from the military, he started his own business and knows a lot of people in big companies. I'll ask him to help introduce someone."

Brian Clark: "..."

Mark Clark said sternly, "Since your standards are so high, I'm swallowing my pride to introduce you to someone who meets them. If you dare not go, hmph!"

With a cold snort, Mark Clark crushed the two walnuts in his hand.

Brian Clark swallowed hard and forced himself to say, "I'll go. If you can really find someone who fits all my criteria, of course I'll go. I just don't know if they'll be interested in me."

After saying that, he fled in a panic to discuss what to do next with his little brothers.

Four years ago, Eric Webb was just a naive kid who hadn't yet seen the hypocrisy of humanity or the fickleness of love. He and the other guys racked their brains to help Brian Clark come up with ideas.

Mark Clark was extremely efficient. The very next day, he arranged a blind date for Brian Clark, telling him to go on the weekend and saying that he and his old comrade would accompany them as introducers.

"No way!" Brian Clark, who was plotting to sabotage the blind date, quickly said, "If you two go, is it me or you and your comrade going on the date? If you come with me, I'm not going!"

He was very firm, so Mark Clark had no choice but to repeatedly remind Brian Clark not to be late.

On the day of the blind date, Brian Clark arrived at the restaurant an hour early and used binoculars to observe the people coming and going inside.

"Boss, you've been watching for so long. What have you seen?" asked his little brother David Reed.

"I'm checking out the quality of the restaurant," Brian Clark explained in a low voice from inside Eric Webb's off-road vehicle. "This is a very classy Chinese restaurant. Choosing this place means my blind date must have great taste. I need to act in the opposite way according to his preferences, so he'll reject me. If he doesn't like me, it's not my fault, hahahahaha!"

Eric Webb said, "Boss, if you want him to reject you, isn't it simple? We can just corner him and give him a beating, tell him not to dream above his station, and have him tell your parents himself that he can't measure up!"

"You think my dad hasn't thought of that?" Brian Clark gritted his teeth. "He's so afraid I'll ambush the guy in advance that he didn't even give me a photo! He only told me the private room number at the restaurant. I won't know who the blind date is until I get there!"
