[ Shen Wei's last attempt at a date - before Zhao Yunlan had reappeared after centuries - had ended with the other grad student telling him that he was going to die a lonely nerd. Granted he had been in the middle of writing his thesis and his hyper-focus habit was in full swing, but that observation had hurt. So he avoided dating and buried himself in his work and when he looked up one day to see Zhao Yunlan hanging out of a window, he had thought that he was never going to date again.
(Which was true since he and Zhao Yunlan were many things together, but dating never really happened; they just went from a handshake to marriage.)
So when the owl appeared with invitations for these blind dates, Shen Wei decided to ignore them. The owl did not like that and after being harassed and annoyed by the bird, he gave in. It wasn't worth the energy.
Because he wasn't use to anything like a date, he dressed in one of his better suits and pulled the shaggy mess of his hair back (with everything that had happened, he hasn't gotten around to getting it trimmed). Spotting the invitation that matched the one on his, he came up behind him and cleared his throat. ]
it's a date?
