Chapter 8 Blind Date

the next day.

Morning.

When Mark was washing up, he found that he looked younger in the mirror and seemed to have less fat on his body.

"I'm getting younger? And I'm getting thinner?"

"Isn't it an illusion?"

"You look younger now that you are healthy, right?"

During morning exercises during recess.

"Teacher Ma, how are you doing lately? Why do you feel like you have become younger and a little thinner." Teacher Sun said in surprise.

"Really? I've been practicing Changquan in the gym recently, maybe my spirits have improved." Mark said casually.

"Can you become younger by practicing Changquan? Then I'll give it a try." Teacher Sun asked curiously.

"Okay, I'll teach you when I have time." Mark smiled.

"Teacher Ma, we are not outsiders. I will tell you what I have to say. My wife has a friend's sister who is thirty-three years old this year. She has been divorced for more than a year and has no children. Do you want to meet her?

"Teacher Sun said in a low voice.

"What? You want me to go on a blind date? I haven't bought the house yet. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to go on a blind date now?" Mark frowned.

"Don't worry about the house. The one we introduced to you has a house and a car. The reason why she got divorced is because her husband has been abroad all year round and they live separately. Her husband has someone outside. She has no problems and is a very capable woman.

, I just hope to find a suitable one who can live a down-to-earth life and have the same idea as you." Teacher Sun said.

"What's her job?" Mark asked casually.

"I heard that he is engaged in finance and his annual income is very high." Teacher Sun said.

"Let me think about it." Mark frowned. He didn't know whether he should go on a blind date or not. He was still thinking about the heroine.

"What are you still thinking about? You are not young anymore, so you should hurry up and find another one. It's settled. I will take you on a blind date after get off work this afternoon." Teacher Sun said. After he finished speaking, he left.

noon.

Marley and Mark ate together in the cafeteria.

Since Mark moved into the school dormitory, Ma Li has eaten with him at noon every day.

Mark’s mother, Ling Mingyu, also often brings food to Mark. Only Ye Ye has never come.

"Dad, you have become younger and lost weight." Ma Li stared at Mark and said.

"Really? Teacher Sun said the same thing just now. Am I really getting younger?" Mark said with a smile.

"Really! Dad, what have you done recently? Why do you feel like you are several years younger?" Ma Li said with a smile.

"I've been practicing long boxing in the gym recently. Maybe it's because I feel better, so I look younger." Mark said with a smile.

"Really? I feel like not only my spirit has improved, but your skin has also improved." Ma Li said with a smile.

"I haven't had much to do recently. I live a regular life and my skin has naturally improved." Mark said casually.

"Dad, my grandma asked you to go home for dinner tonight," Ma Li said.

"Go home for dinner? No, Teacher Sun has something to do with me, so I can't go." Mark frowned.

"What does Teacher Sun want from you?" Ma Li asked curiously.

"It's nothing, he wants to take me on a blind date." Mark said casually.

"Blind date? Dad, have you really let go of my mother?" Ma Li asked in shock.

"Ma Li, it's not your father who let go of your mother, it's your mother who let go of me." Mark said with a bitter smile.

"But...but, Dad, you can still fight for it. My mother is still single now. You have been together for sixteen years. Even if there is no love, there is still family affection." Ma Li said. She still didn't want her parents to divorce.

"Lily, your mother can choose the life she wants, and she also has the right to love others. We can't just care about ourselves. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat quickly." Mark frowned.

At this moment, Mark's cell phone rang.

He picked up the phone casually.

"Is this Mr. Ma? You booked a tour for two."

"Ask, can I withdraw?"

Mark frowned and hung up the phone, but he was thinking in his mind, "I'm about to meet the heroine, what kind of trick should I use to capture her heart?"

"Dad, what's going on?" Ma Li asked curiously.

"The tour for two that I booked half a year ago is about to leave." Mark frowned.

"Is it non-refundable? Dad, did you book a special ticket?" Ma Li asked.

"Yes, how about you go with your grandma?"

"No, I have my final exam soon, and you are still a teacher, so you don't know how to encourage me to study."

"Forget it, I'll ask again later to see if I can return it."

"Dad, I think you'd better not quit. You might as well go and relax. Maybe you can have a romantic encounter."

"Nonsense! No matter how big or small, the more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes."

"Dad, I'm here to help you gain confidence."

"Dad, when did I lose my confidence?"

Get off work in the afternoon.

office.

Wait until the others leave.

"Teacher Ma, let's go." Teacher Sun smiled.

"Teacher Sun, can you not go?" Mark frowned.

"What do you think? I've already made an appointment with them," Teacher Sun said.

"You think it's a little bad for me to go on a blind date at my age?" Mark said awkwardly.

"What's the matter? Let's go quickly. By the way, your clothes are not good for you, so change quickly." Teacher Sun said.

"Don't change your clothes."

"Hurry up and change. Dressing appropriately not only respects each other, but also respects yourself."

A western restaurant near the school.

"This is Mark, my colleague. He is a good person, down-to-earth and hard-working."

"This is He Yuan, my sister. She has studied abroad. She is cheerful and likes sports. You happen to be a physical education teacher. You two have common topics together."

Teacher Sun exchanged a few words with others and then left, leaving Mark and He Yuan alone.

"Well, what do you want to eat?" Mark said awkwardly.

"I don't want to eat yet. I heard that you are a middle school physical education teacher. Are you busy at ordinary times?" He Yuan asked casually.

"I'm usually quite busy. I work part-time at the gym at night."

"Part-time job at the gym? So you have built a lot of muscles?!" He Yuan said with bright eyes.

"It's not bad. I've been practicing Changquan recently. I've trained my muscles before."

"Changquan? Traditional martial arts, right? Isn't that a lie?"

"You're talking about 'fighting counterfeiting', right? Traditional martial arts really can't fight, at least the traditional martial arts that everyone learns casually can't fight."

"Is there any traditional martial arts that can be fought?"

"Of course there is, but we don't usually have access to it."

"Really? Then why did no one stand up when traditional martial arts were 'cracked down'?"

"There may be many reasons, but I think there is at least one. Those who can really fight in traditional martial arts cannot enter the ring because taking action can mean the difference between life and death."

"It means life or death if you take action? Really? If that's the case, you really can't go into the ring."

"I think it's true."

"Then can you do the long boxing you practiced?"

"I can't fight either, I just keep in shape."

"If it's just about strengthening the body, isn't the effect of traditional martial arts training inferior to today's scientific training methods?"

"Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Today's scientific exercise methods are quick and easy to build muscles. They can shape your body very well within a few months. Traditional martial arts cannot compare with this aspect. But traditional martial arts is not for building muscles.

He is improving overall physical fitness. The pursuits of the two are different."

"Really? I think the current scientific training methods can achieve all the training purposes of traditional martial arts, and it takes a lot of time."

"Maybe."

"Don't you agree?"

"No, I just know a little bit and don't dare to jump to conclusions." Mark frowned.
