    “No,” Grace said lightly. “I have a friend waiting for me outside


    too, so I have to go soon.”


    “Hey, take it easy.” Andrea Schwartz added. “You don’t have a boyfriend now, do you? My boyfriend is


    a professor at the university and knows a lot of people. Why don’t you let him introduce you to a few


    men?”

    She said as she followed Grace out of the washroom.


    Then, Andrea Schwartz called out to a man of medium build standing outside the washroom. He


    promptly came over.


    Grace looked at the approaching man. He looked average in appearance but was a little older, looking


    like he was in histe 40s. Obviously, this was Andrea Schwartz’s boyfriend.


    “Banghe, this is my ex-colleague, Grace. I happened to run into her in the washroom just now,” Andrea


    Schwartz said. She added. “Grace, this is my boyfriend, Tyler Barber. He is a professor at Yuren


    University.”


    Andrea Schwartz sounded ostentatious.


    It was Tyler Barber who hastened to correct her. “I’m only an


    associate professor, not a professor.”


    “In two years you’ll be a professor,” Andrea Schwartz said disapprovingly. She then asked Grace,


    “Didn’t you say your friend is waiting for you outside? Where are they?”


    Grace looked up and did not see Jason.


    ‘Did he leave first?’ she wondered in her mind.


    Andrea Schwartz thought Grace had only said that as an excuse, so she said, “Why don’t we find


    somewhere to sit? We’ll let my boyfriend see if he has someone in mind for you. He used to say that


    marriage is a big problem for some of the workers in the logistics department at his university. There


    should be someone your age there.”


    Andrea Schwartz seemed somewhat embarrassed as she


    said, “You don’t mind going on a blind date with workers, do you? I want to introduce you to some of


    the single lecturers at Banghe’s university, but you know those lecturers will


    usually ask for someone with a clean record. You might have a problem with that, but rest assured,


    although their logistics workers aren’t that well paid and less educated, they’re


    hardworking and don’t have much to do with others.”


    Grace looked at her as she said all that and found it funny. She had never said anything about wanting


    to go on a date, but Andrea Schwartz seemed to think that she desperately


    wanted to.


    “I don’t want any blind dates.” Grace rebuffed.


    Andrea Schwartz’s eyes widened, and she stared at Grace in disbelief. “You don’t mind me introducing


    you to a logistics


    worker, do you? Grace, it’s not me. You’re not the same as you


    were back then. You’ve got to ask for less. If you don’t go on


    blind dates at your age now…”


    “Why, is someone setting you up on a blind date?” A voice suddenly rang in Grace’s ear, and it seemed


    to make Andrea


    Schwartz’s voice stuck in her throat.


    Jason, who was wearing a trench coat, walked over to Grace and passed her a ss of milk tea. “I


    heard you say that you want to try this brand of milk tea. I saw it just now, so I went to get you one. See


    if you like it. If you don’t, we’ll go and get another one you liketer.”


    Grace took the milk tea, which was warm, and held it in her hands. It warmed her hands up a bit.


    She nced at the brand name on the milk tea. She saw it on the news that the milk tea store had


    the inte.
