"Yeah, Lisa, go take a walk with him. You guys should have a lot to talk about after all you guys know eachother since childhood." Lisa's mother said, after receiving Auntie Song's signal.
This was such an obvious setup…
Lisa felt speechless…
However, Auntie Song's son took the initiative. He said to Lisa, "Let's go."
Out of sensibility, Lisa had no choice but to get up and go with him. Auntie Song immediately said secretively to Lisa's mother, "Hey, what do you think of my son?"
"He is a good kid, but… our family conditions aren't that good, and we're no match for your family."
"What are you talking about? We've known each other for so long, do you really think that I'd look down on you? Originally, I didn't think too much about this because Lisa had a boyfriend, but last time, I heard Haruto mention that they broke up, so I began thinking about introducing Lisa to my son. A few days ago, I called to ask him what he thought of Lisa and, to my surprise, he liked the photo of Lisa I showed him. And, here we are. He took some time off work to come back to meet her, and I had plans to ask you to call Lisa to come home so the two of them could meet, but she came back herself today. Look at that, it's fate, I know it."
Auntie Song had a quick mouth and was a chatter bug. She also liked to play matchmaker and always made things sound much better than they actually were.
"I have no objections as long as the kids like each other. I've known your son since he was a baby, and I know that he's a good kid."
"That's good, let's sit here and wait for their good news." Auntie Song was exhilarated.
She was almost positive that Lisa was bound to fall for her son…
As they walked around, Lisa didn't speak much. She hadn't seen him in years, and all her memories about him were from when they were kids.
"My mom said that you work at South Side Recuperation Center?"
"Yeah." Lisa nodded.
"Is it a lot of work? How's the overall work environment?" All of his questions were well measured. She could tell that he was a proper person.
"It's not bad, work isn't too tiring. South Side is a high-end hospital, so the work environment and facilities are pretty modern."
"That's great! My mom told me that you're a really hard-working person, and although you didn't go to a top university, you worked diligently since your graduation and was promoted again and again. I enjoy being around people like you, it gives me positive energy."
"Um… thanks for the compliment."
"You know what I do, right? I'm currently the Deputy Manager of our bank's Credit and Loans Department, and I've gotten a couple of raises. But that isn't my ultimate goal – I plan on becoming our department's director within 5 years. I know it'll be hard, but I won't give up."
"That's really nice, it's good to have a dream. I hope you can succeed in it."
Although to her, Auntie Song's son was no more than a passerby, Lisa was still impressed by his positive outlook on life.
He laughed, "Whales and sharks swim upstream; dead fish float downstream."
"Haha… that's an interesting way of thinking."
"Oh right, I heard that you broke up with your boyfriend."
"Yeah, we broke up. Your mother have met him before."
"So, do you plan on dating or getting married anytime soon?" he probed.
"Not yet." Lisa realized where he was going, so she immediately nipped his thought in the bud.
