Under Lu Ye’s protection, Xu Yao went to the zoo in the capital. Perhaps because it was summer vacation, the zoo was bustling with crowds, filled with tourists constantly coming and going.
The panda inside is the star animal of the zoo, attracting a large crowd of visitors.
Through the glass, Xu Yao watched the black-and-white creature inside. Someone nearby was shouting, “sunny, cheerful boy,” while all around her were the constant clicks of cameras, bursts of excited cheers from visitors, and the occasional shout from security trying to keep things under control.
“It’s really too cute,” Xu Yao said, wearing sunglasses and a mask, as she stared at the adorable panda in the air-conditioned room. She couldn’t contain her excitement and resorted to posting it on her social media.
After watching for a while, Xu Yao reluctantly gave up her spot to other visitors and continued to explore the zoo with Lu Ye.
Lu Ye walked behind Xu Yao, holding a small electric fan and directing the breeze towards her.
Noticing the sweat rolling down his neatly cropped hair, Xu Yao suggested he use the fan for himself, but Lu Ye remained unfazed, as if he hadn’t heard her, still holding the fan towards her.
“The weather now is too hot, we’ll need to be mindful of heatstroke,” Xu Yao said, upon recalling her employees who had to constantly run around to collect rent and reminded him, “Make sure to inform the production team to be cautious of fire hazards in this dry weather, and also provide them with some heatstroke allowance for the team members.”
Once summer temperatures rise, the risk of fire increases significantly. Xu Yao still remembered how the author had casually mentioned Old Master Cui Guoqiang’s cause of death during his funeral in the original novel. It had happened through a conversation Liu Yingxia had with the original male lead, and it seemed to have been related to a fire.
Lu Ye nodded, indicating he had noted it down.
“Miss Yaoyao, do you really like that panda?” Lu Ye suddenly asked her.
“Is there anyone who doesn’t like pandas? It’s not just that one, but all the other pandas are cute too,” Xu Yao replied with a smile, even taking Lu Ye to buy some panda-themed merchandise to satisfy her affection.
If it weren’t for the risk of getting hauled into the station for a “chat,” most netizens—including Xu Yao—have probably fantasized about keeping one of those black-and-white national treasures as a pet.
“Although pandas can’t be kept as pets, they can still be adopted,” said Lu Ye.
Adopting a panda doesn’t mean purchasing a national treasure outright either. Rather, the adopter gains visitation rights and can be constantly notified about the panda, with some even gaining the right to name it. The adoption fee often goes entirely toward the panda’s care.
Xu Yao was taken aback and then gave Lu Ye a thumbs up. That was a pretty good idea.
After touring the zoo, they hurried home. Xu Yao felt the heat was unbearable and checked the weather forecast, noting that temperatures in many areas had already reached over 40°C.
[Ji Zhengqing: Yaoyao, what are your thoughts on having a dog deliver the engagement ring?]
As someone who had come to this world to retire, Xu Yao was very open to the idea of having pets. After all, who didn’t love furry creatures?
The engagement ceremony was set to take place in just a few days, and many friends had already received their invitations.
Xu Yao quickly replied that it was a great idea, and Ji Zhengqing immediately sent her two pictures to choose from: one was a very clever-looking black-and-white border collie, while the other was a husky with clear and silly eyes.
Xu Yao: “…”
Wait a minute, no, the post she had made on WeChat Moments, “I really want to raise a black-and-white furry creature,” was referring to a panda!

“Miss Xu Yao is truly considerate towards our production team, even calling to remind us to be cautious of fire hazards in the filming studio,” said Zhao Haisheng, looking at the several large insulated foam boxes in front of him filled with ice drinks that had just been delivered, feeling so moved he was almost about to cry.
Zhao Haisheng immediately arranged for the staff to check the surroundings thoroughly, ensuring that there would be no chance of any electrical fires.
The more preferentially Xu Yao treated them, the more worried Director Zhao became. With Sister Yao investing so much money, could he successfully push Old Master Cui Guoqiang into the spotlight while still maintaining the show’s popularity? Director Zhao suddenly felt uncertain.
“Alright, alright, the premiere is about to start, everyone take your positions.”
This variety show was an online program, presented to the audience through a combination of livestreaming and post-production editing. As the show began, viewers flooded into the livestream. The online audience wasn’t shockingly large, but it wasn’t insignificant either.
“Can’t we get even a bit of screen time on the livestream?” Liu Yingxia, seated in the juniors’ section, asked softly as she watched the camera stay fixed on the backstage. Aside from the brief ten-odd seconds during introductions, they hadn’t gotten any screen time at all!
A staff member replied apologetically, “That’s how it is for now.”
Liu Yingxia suppressed her frustration and sat gloomily in her seat. So what were they doing now? Despite not having a camera follow them, they still had to sit there without being able to use their phones, feeling as if they were in prison.
Since there were no live cameras on them, the younger generation became much bolder. One girl whispered to Liu Yingxia, “Teacher Liu, don’t you think this is just like getting paid to slack off? I think it’s pretty good.”
Liu Yingxia was speechless. She had always had lofty ambitions; she wanted to become a top star in the entertainment industry and even go global, not to be completely invisible sitting below like a complete nobody, which made her very uncomfortable.
Xu Yao seemed to know exactly what she wanted and deliberately teased and disgusted her with it.
“Old Master Cui, in a moment, you’ll introduce yourself on stage for three minutes, and then a female guest will light up her light for you. If you get chosen, you’ll form a ‘preliminary couple,'” a staff member said cheerfully to the nervous Old Master Cui Guoqiang in the preparation room.
Old Master Cui’s weathered face turned bright red, and his only healthy right hand nervously twisted the hem of his clothes.
How are today’s young people so bold? To think that dating could be done so openly now. Back in their day, matchmaking was done discreetly, and couples even walked far apart when together on the street.
Having lived a solitary life, Old Master Cui had no experience in such matters. The thought of so many elderly ladies waiting for him outside made him even more anxious.
[Hahaha Grandpa Cui is so cute! In the pilot episode, he looked so fierce doing military boxing, but now he’s so nervous he’s pacing all over the waiting room—such an adorable contrast!]
[How did Grandpa Cui’s left hand become disabled? I wonder if those grandmas will like him—after all, he’s missing a hand.]
[Look at Grandpa Cui—he’s in such great form for this matchmaking! And then there’s me… I go on blind dates every day and feel completely numb now. Every person I meet leaves me totally calm, no ripples at all.]
[Ahhh I’m worried about Grandpa Cui. It’s true Xu Yao is really promoting him, but among all the grandpas his overall conditions are probably the weakest, and his looks are pretty average too… Don’t come at me, I’m genuinely just worried about him QAQ]
Many netizens have a strong affection for retired veterans, so there are hardly any trolls in the livestream, and the comments are quite appropriate. Moreover, Director Zhao has specifically arranged for staff in the livestream to act as moderators; anyone who dares to speak nonsense will be directly muted without hesitation.
There are quite a few netizens in the livestream. Originally, based on Cui Guoqiang’s identity as an ordinary person, his livestream viewership should be the lowest among all the guests, but after the production team’s vigorous promotion, Grandpa Cui’s livestream is now among the top three in terms of online viewers.
“Young Lady, are there a lot of people watching the show?” Cui Guoqiang hurriedly asked upon seeing the staff member about to leave.
The staff member immediately stopped and taught Cui Guoqiang how to check the number of viewers in the livestream, which is now currently at around three to four hundred thousand.
Cui Guoqiang clicked his tongue in amazement, “So many people? That’s enough to form several armies.” Three to four hundred thousand is already considered quite a lot for Cui Guoqiang.
Outside, some of the other elderly men who were guests have already introduced themselves. Some old gentlemen are dressed in formal suits and ties, while others seriously recount their previous marital lives or directly lay out their requirements for their blind dates.
Light it up, light it up, light it up!
This program consists of ten elderly men and ten elderly women. These old ladies are all women who have experienced life, so they didn’t bother holding back at all when they complained.
The old ladies didn’t mince their words and continued to unreservedly gossip with the other old sisters present, “Coming in here and saying you want a well-maintained old lady, and that she must be under 65 years old. Why don’t they look at their own face that’s full of wrinkles, not to mention he’s not even 1.7 meters tall but still has the nerve to be so picky. I’m turning my light off!”
Another short-haired grandma chimed in with a sarcastic tone, “Five properties in the capital? Oh wow, how impressive, truly amazing. If those homes aren’t in my name, what’s the use? I’ve got seven or eight places in Haicheng myself! What’s with this light lighting up—don’t light up!”
“……”
[Hahaha, elderly matchmaking is just so realistic, not to mention it’s super blunt too. Honestly, why even bother finding a partner at this age?]
[Looking for a companion is totally normal, after all, everyone has their own emotional needs. And Grandpa Zhao Guoli is impressive! Seven grandmas lit up for him—that’s probably the most out of all the grandpas, right?]
[Grandpa Zhao’s already been married four times, how could he not be impressive? [doge1]]
[Does anyone know who the second old lady from the left is? I’ve been watching from the start and she hasn’t lit up once, so I still haven’t even gotten a clear look at her face.]
Xu Yao was about to fly to the Lipana Islands for her engagement party and took a moment to check the variety show. This variety show hadn’t been mentioned in the original novel, so Xu Yao wasn’t very clear about what was going on.
Although all the elderly ladies who were guests were going crazy with the roasting, they were still participating and would choose to turn their lights on or off. Only the elderly lady in the left corner had never lit up her light. The dim lighting at the filming site also meant that many netizens throughout the show never knew who she was, making her seem as if she were isolated from the world.
[Found it—she’s Grandma Zhou Cuilan. She was a famous singer back in the last century. Apparently she had a fiancé who died young, and has remained unmarried ever since then.]
[My mom loves Grandma Cuilan’s songs, and we even still have her CDs at home. It’s totally normal for younger people not to recognize her.]
[She’s already come on the show, so isn’t it a bit much to never light up at all? At least give the other old men some face. Showing up but giving zero response, that’s unacceptable. Was she dragged here by her grandnephew or something?]
The grandnephew sitting below was startled by the comments and felt extremely wronged. It was clearly Grandma Cuilan who strongly requested him to bring her here, and he hadn’t forced his elder to participate in the show at all.
Xu Yao looked at the names in the comments and suddenly raised her eyebrows in surprise. This grandma had appeared at Grandpa Cui Guoqiang’s funeral in the original novel!
Xu Yao suddenly realized something, and a hint of a smile appeared on her delicate face.
She hoped that Grandpa Cui Guoqiang could fulfill his wish and also truly find someone to share his later years with.
“Let’s go.” Ji Zhengqing reached out to help Xu Yao board the plane. Xu Yao’s gaze wandered around the interior of Ji Zhengqing’s private jet.
Just wait, her older brother had already bought her a private jet; she would soon have one too!
Grandpa Cui Guoqiang was reminded by the staff to prepare to enter, making the old man extremely nervous. He adjusted his clothes with one hand and walked out with his head held high and chest out.
Cui Guoqiang stood on stage, facing the microphone, and said grandly, “Hello everyone, my name is Cui Guoqiang, I am seventy-three years old, and I am a retired veteran.”
Cui Guoqiang paused for a moment, feeling a bit embarrassed as he said, “I’m sorry everyone, I didn’t come to the show to find a partner; actually, I wanted to find someone…”
With a ding, someone on the far left, in the second position, suddenly lit up their light first.
An elderly woman with her hair styled in a bun smiled gently. She wore an elegant long dress, with a shawl draped over her arm, and wore a lustrous jade bracelet on her wrist. Truly not even time could defeat this beauty, and though her skin has developed wrinkles, her bone structure remains beautiful.
Cui Guoqiang looked at the old lady who lit up her light, his voice suddenly coming to a halt, his mind going blank.
Both the audience on-site as well as the netizens online were stunned. Someone had lit up their light so quickly!
[Grandma Zhou Cuilan, the singer, actually lit up her light? She didn’t light up for any of the previous seven grandpas, yet she lit up for Old Master Cui before he’d even spoken for half a minute…]
[AHHH, is this seriously not scripted? This feels straight out of a romance novel plot!]
[Hahaha Grandpa Cui is speechless, he got instantly proven wrong, huh? Didn’t he say he wasn’t looking for a partner?]
[Is Xu Yao helping Grandpa Cui because she wants to find him a companion? And the one he’s meant to find is Grandma Zhou Cuilan? This is such a novel-like storyline—I’m obsessed!]
[Replying to the above! So renting from Xu Yao = getting a partner thrown in? Xu Yao, my goddess!]
[Grandma Zhou Cuilan lit up? She didn’t light up for the previous seven grandpas, but Grandpa Cui Guoqiang hasn’t even spoken for half a minute and she lights up…]
A group of netizens started to cheer in the comments, all saying they wanted to rent Xu Yao’s house, waiting for her to arrange partners for them.
“Ding—”, “Ding—”!
One after another, the sound of lights lighting up followed, and after Grandma Zhou Cuilan, all the other grandmas followed suit, lighting up together and illuminating the program’s venue!
They all knew that Xu Yao strongly supported Old Master Cui Guoqiang, and they had to give her this face. But the most crucial point was that they had all experienced that era and held a stronger affection for retired veterans.
Ten old ladies, ten bright lights, all shining tonight for Cui Guoqiang!
Liu Yingxia watched on expressionlessly. This was definitely going to be an iconic scene from the show, but unfortunately, it all had nothing to do with her, not even appearing in a single camera shot.
However, the netizens in the livestream went wild.
[! All the lights are on! So much for my earlier worries, they were all total nonsense. These grandmas are really giving him face. Grandpa Cui is even more popular than Grandpa Zhao!]
[This is a plot straight out of a novel, seriously a novel plot. Grandpa Cui has so much presence—he must be able to brag about this to other old guys for the rest of his life, right? Every old lady seems to think he’s a catch! Grandpa Cui is amazing, hahaha!]
[Grandpa Cui, didn’t you say you weren’t looking for a partner? Don’t be polite and turn them down now! [doge holding a flower.jpg]]
[Just here to watch the fun: Grandpa Cui, hurry up and boldly turn them down! Even if all ten lights are on, reject them anyway, hahaha!]
The viewership of the livestream surged due to the ten lights all being lit up.
Old Master Cui Guoqiang’s face turned red, and he seemed to be completely bewildered, looking at the lights that were all on.
Could a disabled old man like him receive this kind of treatment? His conditions weren’t exactly that great, yet the old ladies had still lit up the lights for him?
Cui Guoqiang stared at the first old lady who lit a light for him, Grandma Zhou Cuilan. He scratched his gray hair and said uncertainly, “You look familiar. Have we met before?”
Look!
Look at how direct the elderly are in pursuing love!
So what if it’s a cliche pick-up line? As long as it works, it’s fine. Our Grandpa Cui Guoqiang is much better than the young people nowadays.
Zhou Cuilan smiled and said, “When I was young, I once went to Dawu Village in Qinglong Township as an educated youth. Back then, they liked to call me Little Cui.”
Cui Guoqiang was completely stunned. The microphone in his hand dropped with a heavy clatter onto the floor, yet his aged, clouded eyes didn’t shift away from Grandma Cuilan for even a second.
Little Cui…
Little Cui!
His mind, which had long since grown forgetful, suddenly became startlingly clear. Cui Guoqiang had been born into an ordinary farming family in a place called Dawu Village in Qinglong Township. When he was young, an educated youth had come to the village to teach.
A young girl in a floral shirt appeared in Cui Guoqiang’s mind, always standing behind the locust tree, watching him with her hands behind her back.
People liked to call her “Little Cui,” because the local accent made it sound like “Little Cui.”2 Every time that name was called, Cui Guoqiang would instinctively respond, only to be met with teasing laughter from those around him. And just like that, the two young people gradually grew closer without even realizing it.
It wasn’t until he went to the battlefield and returned that he heard that Little Cui had already gone back home, and her family had taken her to Hong Kong and arranged a marriage for her.
Grandma Zhou Cuilan smiled with boundless kindness and called out to him just like she did decades ago, “Brother Qiang.”
Her parents said he was dead, and that he hadn’t even left a trace of his bones behind. She didn’t believe it and frantically wrote him letters, but she never received a reply. Gradually, she began to believe it.
She thought about obeying her parents’ wishes, but her fiancé died unexpectedly, and she never married again, nor did she have any thoughts of marrying.
Cui Guoqiang instantly burst into tears, large tears streaming down his face. His straight back bent slightly as he cried harder and harder. He raised his only usable right hand and covered his tear-streaked face.
This twist stunned everyone. W-what was happening?
[Holy shit, was it mutual all along? I knew Zhou Cuilan was a songstress back in the day, so why would she stoop to joining this underwhelming senior dating show? She must have come for Grandpa Cui! No wonder she didn’t light up for any of the earlier grandpas.]
[Waaah, the love stories back then are just too shippable. Grandpa Cui lived a lonely single life while Grandma Cuilan never married after her fiancé passed away either… they lost their entire youth, this hurts so much.]
[I get it now, I finally understand Xu Yao’s intention! She’s letting Grandpa Cui make up for the regrets of his youth in his later years. I’m going to cry, my goddess Yaoyao!]
[Who’s crying their eyes out like a dog? Me! I don’t envy young couples showing off their love—I only envy love in old age.]
Director Zhao was completely unaware of this turn of events. He looked at the microphone that had fallen to the ground and at the two elderly people who were shedding tears. He suddenly realized—
His elderly pure love couple might actually work.
Without a doubt, Cui Guoqiang and Zhou Cuilan formed a “preliminary couple” in the show and even made it to the trending searches.
Cui Guoqiang still remembered that he hadn’t even had the chance to say goodbye to Zhou Cuilan before he left. He felt he had let down such a good girl, and never dared to imagine that he would see her again in this life.
After that incident, Cui Guoqiang didn’t say what he originally intended to say, and he even developed a slight fondness for the show.
“Photographer, have you gotten around to that photo of mine yet?” Cui Guoqiang asked while picking wildflowers by the roadside, not forgetting to ask the photographer, “That’s the person I’m looking for; don’t lose it.”
The photographer quickly replied, “I’ve been busy with overtime lately, but don’t worry, I’ll definitely get it to you in the next couple of days. Grandpa Cui, are you picking flowers for Grandma Cuilan?”
Old Master Cui Guoqiang smiled somewhat shyly. He even pretended to glare at him and said, “Why do young people talk so much? Aren’t you ashamed!”
[Hahaha, is Grandpa Cui feeling shy again? Picking flowers for his girlfriend, I really wish my dog boyfriend would learn a thing or two from Grandpa!]
[What preliminary couple? I’m demanding the Civil Affairs Bureau to move over here right now! We, the millions of netizens, are collectively witnessing this moment.]
[No matter how long it’s been, true love really does transcend time! I envy the feelings of people from that era; true love lasts forever!]
Grandpa Cui Guoqiang didn’t know much about flowers, but since he thought they were beautiful, he wanted to give them to Grandma Cuilan.
“Where can I borrow a bicycle? Oh dear, your shared bicycles don’t even have a back seat anymore.” Cui Guoqiang asked the production team while holding a bouquet of flowers.
People from that era would ride bicycles with their beloved girls on the back seat, cycling through the woods, watching the sun rise and set.
Cui Guoqiang felt as if he had suddenly returned to his youth, feeling as if he suddenly had boundless energy. He was like a young boy who had just tasted the sweetness of love, feeling that there was never enough time. He had so many things he wanted to do with Little Cui.
Cui Guoqiang and Zhou Cuilan, this elderly couple, bravely defied expectations and moved countless netizens to tears upon learning that they had missed each other in their youth, only to finally reunite in their old age, both rushing towards each other once again.
In other elderly matchmaking shows, the reality of older people seeking companions is laid bare, and at first, netizens might find it fresh and love the lively atmosphere.
But now, things are different.
Because the pure love “Double Cui” couple has burst onto the scene!
The couple disregarded each other’s circumstances and family background, focusing solely on their pure affection, instantly attracting countless netizens.
It’s common for young people to flaunt their affection only to break up in the end, but such a pure and loving elderly romance is something that countless netizens yearn for and envy.
They had lived on the same land, gazed at the same waning moon, and had both hoped for each other’s well-being despite being in entirely different places.
Grandpa Cui Guoqiang is especially endearing to this crowd of netizens. He seems to have suddenly regained his youth again, acting like a young man in love, engaging in various romantic gestures, his contrasting charm melting the hearts of countless female netizens.
The Civil Affairs Bureau has been tagged by netizens countless times already. Some even boldly declared that Grandpa Cui Guoqiang and Grandma Zhou Cuilan are the best marriage-urging advertisements of the year!
“Grandpa Cui, why don’t you ride a bike with Grandma Cuilan on the island? Pedal along the deserted seaside paths against the sea breeze,” a staff member from the show asked with a smile.
Cui Guoqiang thought for a moment and felt that this scene was beautiful. In his memory, Sister Cuilan had always been a girl who loved beauty. She would braid her hair more beautifully than other girls, and she always carried a faint floral fragrance on her.
Cui Guoqiang suddenly shook his head violently, his old face turning red with embarrassment again. He had blushed more times in this period than in the past several decades.
Cui Guoqiang began to look forward to this show.
“Grandpa Cui Guoqiang, please accept the latest task from the dating show,” a staff member approached with a beaming smile, handing him an invitation.
Cui Guoqiang, who could read, opened the envelope to check. As he read the task aloud, his gray mustache twitched, “Please successfully invite the girl you admire to a villa on the Lipana Islands for a sweet seaside date.”
Cui Guoqiang’s old face turned red again, feeling that the tasks written by these young people were really cheesy, filled with phrases like “admire” and “sweet date.”
[A villa on the Lipana Islands? Wow, the production team really did get their investment from Xu Yao! I heard this is a private island, and the owners are super wealthy! The scenery is breathtaking, and there’ll be no other tourists around.]
[Ahhh, my Grandpa Cui, why don’t you propose to Grandma Cuilan right there at the villa in the Lipana Islands? I support you!]
[Proposal! Proposal! Everyone shout ‘Proposal!’ with me! If you don’t get married, I’ll roll on the ground and refuse to get up.]
Cui Guoqiang held the task letter tightly in his hand and declared confidently, “I accept the mission!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Guoqiang suddenly remembered that decades ago, he had also wanted to formally express his feelings to Cuilan and had even arranged to meet her under that locust tree.
But he hadn’t gone, and Zhou Cuilan had waited under that locust tree all night.
Although he had never regretted the choice he made that night, he also couldn’t bear to part with the girl who waited for him all night. A wave of unease washed over Cui Guoqiang; it shouldn’t be like that night, right?
[Is Grandpa Cui worried that Grandma Cuilan won’t agree to go on a date with you on the island? Don’t worry, that’s absolutely impossible.]
[It’s still possible she might not agree, maybe Grandma is shy? Hahaha, Grandma Cuilan’s grandnephew already revealed online that he will definitely bring Grandma Cuilan!]
[Turns out that all men in the midst of pursuing women will feel nervous and insecure, regardless of their age, and Grandpa Cui is no exception to that.]
[The scenery in the Lipana Islands is insanely beautiful—I’m all set to capture gorgeous screenshots of the grandpas and grandmas, I’m so happy I could spin in circles!]
Not many netizens knew about the Lipana Islands, and there was very little information online, only that it was a private island with multiple owners.
Because it is a private island, the scenery has become exceptionally beautiful after development, with crystal-clear waters along the shore; even a casual snapshot looks picturesque.
This is simply the perfect place for couples to date, propose, get engaged, or even marry!
Xu Yao’s engagement banquet is also on one of the islands owned by the Ji family in the archipelago. Since the archipelago has strong security measures, there is no worry about the production team showing up, so they just staggered the timing. The engagement banquet is scheduled before Grandpa Cui Guoqiang’s date.
Friends like Qu Xi and Ming Chan have already been transported to the island by the yacht arranged by the Xu family.
Xu Yao’s engagement banquet is about to begin.
Xu Yao watched as the husky happily chased the little border collie, deeply doubting whether the husky had enough intelligence to deliver an engagement ring. Could the clever border collie even follow orders to deliver it?
Xu Yao stared at Ji Zhengqing’s back as he walked towards her in a tailored black suit, and she couldn’t help but mentally complain, You bring two pet dogs instead of a building, how stingy! She even doubted whether Ji Zhengqing really intended to give her a building as He Fan analyzed last time. It didn’t seem like it.
Ji Zhengqing had no idea what Xu Yao was thinking. He approached her in his custom-made black suit and handed her a letter.
Xu Yao was surprised, “What is this?”
Ji Zhengqing smiled faintly. “I’ve thought about it for a long time. The Ji family’s ownership of this archipelago, I’ll give it to you as an engagement gift.”
Since he couldn’t give her the Ji Group—at least, not for now.
