120: Fail 120: Fail Editor: Noodletown Translations āMy name is Lin Mingyu, Lin as in the forest, Ming as in the bright moon, and Yu as in theĀ universe (TL note: direct translation in Chinese),ā he calmly explained.
Lin Mingyu wasnāt very handsome, but his facial features were quite nice, and he was a clean-looking young man.
His white jacket was Armaniās newest style, and he was wearing a Cartier ring on his index finger.
His outfit was extravagant, and he clearly didnāt look like a forensics guy.
But then again, never judge a book by its cover, right?
After a moment of hesitation, Huo Mian used the same way to introduce herself.
āMy name is Huo Mian, Huo as in the martial artist Huo Yuanjia, and Mian as in sleep.ā āMian as in sleep?
That is a rare name, why not use the āMianā character that means ācottonā?ā Lin Mingyu asked out of curiosity.
āIām not sure either, couldnāt voice my opinion at that time.ā Huo Mian felt awkward.
āOkay, Huo Mian, what an interesting name.ā Lin Mingyu held up his coffee mug as he slightly sighed with emotion.
āMr.
Liu, Iāve come here today becauseā¦ā āDonāt worry, my cousin told me all about your situation.
I heard that you graduated from a local third-rate college and are only an intern nurse at the moment.
You only have a little brother and mother in your family, and they live on the outskirts of the city.
Your brother is still in college, and your mother runs a small store, right?ā āThatās right, thatās basically my current family situation.
The head nurse treats me very well, and I think she overestimated me.
Given my conditions, I donāt think that Iām worthy of a man like you, so⦠weāre not compatible.ā Huo Mian felt somewhat relieved when she heard Lin Mingyu bring up this topic first, since it would make things easier than having to explain to him her entire situation.
However, Lin Mingyu continued, āIām not a shallow man.
I donāt care about conditions or situations.
My cousin said that youāre a very good person.
You do things with great effort and pay great attention to detail.
Iāve seen your picture before, and think that youāre pretty.
I donāt want much from my future wife, I only want her to be gentle and caring.
Thatās it.
Because Iāve got quite a handsome salary, you wonāt have to go to work at all after we get married.
You just have to stay home and take care of the children.
What do you think?ā āUhm⦠I think that youāre thinking too far into the future.ā Huo Mian was a bit speechless.
āOf course not, these things can all be immediately accomplished.
You might know already that because of the nature of my job, Iām very busy so I barely have any time to date.
If I think that youāre a good match, then we should get married immediately because I donāt want us to waste each otherās time.
These are all very practical questions.ā āEveryone has their own ideas.
You could say that these might be the right ones for you, but they donāt match my standards.
Anyways, the head nurse meant well to introduce us, so Iām very grateful towards her, and I can tell that you are an accomplished individual.
However, weāre not compatible.
Thanks for the drink, but I should go now,ā Huo Mian stood up apologetically; she no longer wanted to continue talking to this person.
Lin Mingyu felt a bit uncomfortable when he saw Huo Mianās reaction.
Did this set-up just fail?
Was he just rejected by a random little nurse?
āWait.ā Huo Mian stopped in her tracks⦠āI want to know, what didnāt you like about me?ā Lin Mingyu had gone on these dates many times, and many of the girls took the initiative to contact him because he was educated overseas, his parents were senior officials, and his family background was impressive.
He also drove an Audi Q5 and his annual salary was 600,000 yuan.
He was perfect ā a homeowner and a car owner.
He didnāt understand why a little intern nurse like Huo Mian from a poor family could be so pretentious.
āNothing, itās not you,ā Huo Mian honestly replied.
āThen why are you leaving in such a hurry?
You said that weāre not compatible.
Isnāt that the same thing as a rejection?ā Lin Mingyu asked in a slightly upset tone.
