To wrap things up quickly, I arranged more blind dates for Sherlowill.
But no matter what, Sherlowill's blind dates were a complete failure—every single one.
The list of potential matches was running out.
"I've found everything from successful independent women in their forties to beautiful female college students in their twenties. What kind of person do you really want?"
I stared at the tall, fair-skinned, leggy beauty on the list for three minutes.
In those three minutes, I was infatuated twenty-eight times.
Yet, Sherlowill seemed completely unfazed?
"You can't possibly be..."
"Stop right there, save those ridiculous thoughts, and thanks for your cooperation."
This one didn't work, that one didn't either.
My patience was running thin.
"You're impossible to please, brat. I'm done finding you a partner."
Sherlowill stared at me for a long time in silence.
That look in his eyes was so sad, it almost seemed like he was about to cry.
"Starting to act now, are we?"
Sherlowill lowered his gaze, no longer looking at me.
"Actually, I've been hurt before."
So there's a woman Sherlowill couldn't win over?
I immediately gasped and covered my mouth, my eyes wide with curiosity.
"Is it a first love or a crush? Are you sure it's over?"
Sherlowill sighed wistfully.
"She's already taken."
The boss's gossip, and I'm getting to hear it firsthand!
OMG, if I tell anyone about this, I could boast about it for the rest of my life.
"I've just gotten over the emotional hurt. I want to try dating with marriage as the goal."
Pick any punishment he want, just don't hurt me with the tragedy love story.
In a moment of impulsiveness, I slapped my chest dramatically.
"Don't worry, I'll help you find a solution for your lifelong commitment."
Later that night, when I thought about the day's events, I slapped myself awake.
How could I have said such hurtful words to a long-time friend who had suffered emotional trauma!
I'm really not human!

To atone for my sins, I worked tirelessly until dawn.
Out of a hundred high-quality women, I picked the one I thought was most suited for Sherlowill.
I yawned and brought the girl's profile to Sherlowill.
"The next blind date, seven o'clock tonight, I've arranged everything for you."
"Seems like I'm not cut out for romance, and you're really in a hurry."
Sherlowill didn't even look at the carefully prepared profile.
I get it, he must still be recovering from his emotional trauma.
This cursed, overly sentimental man, the modern version of Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, I have to save him.
"The girl's name is Heather Ashford, a psychology researcher who's returned from overseas. She'll definitely know how to handle you."
By the time this is over, forget about emotional wounds—she'll heal all of his psychological trauma.
"Heather? The daughter of that real estate tycoon? She's back in the country?"
"Yes, that's her!"
I felt like this was finally going somewhere.
"Fine, but this time you have to come with me. What if it's another man?"
As the saying goes, "Once bitten, twice shy."
I had to agree reluctantly.

But this time, the blind date went surprisingly smoothly.
It seemed Heather was interested in continuing to get to know Sherlowill.
This is it! My mission is finally going to be completed.
"Mr. Freckless seems like a perfect match."
Wow, this girl can flatter better than I, a seasoned professional.
Sherlowill complimented, "Thank you, you're beautiful as well."
Looks like my meticulous coaching wasn't in vain. I sighed in relief.
I almost got emotional.
"If I had to mention a flaw, it's that due to some accidents, there's a slight physical shortcoming."
Bro, just say you had your appendix removed, why make it sound so dramatic?
Some shortcoming? Is he missing a brain?
"Uh, miss, don't misunderstand. Mr. Freckless just had his appendix removed."
I'm really done for. Without me, this blind date would have failed.
Soon, the beautiful lady got a call and left. I hit Sherlowill over the head.
"When you had your appendix removed, did they take your peanut-sized brain too?"
Forget about me, I'm on a killing spree.
"I'm just speaking the truth."he replied.
For a moment, even I, the eloquent little genius, couldn't think of a retort.
Fortunately, the beauty came back and exchanged contacts with Sherlowill.
