A blind date ended up longer than necessary thanks to a sudden Covid lockdown.
Wang, a 30-year-old Chinese woman, met a blind date for a home-cooked dinner date in Zhengzhou, China. During the date, it was announced that the place would be under lockdown. This was a response to avoid local outbreaks of Covid within the country. Wang was now forced to stay in her date’s house for days.
The woman shared her experiences in cohabiting, with basically a stranger, on social media. She documented her date cooking meals for her, doing house chores, and working on his laptop. The updates went viral, turning her and her date into a top trending topic on the Internet. "During quarantine, I feel that apart from him being reticent like a wooden mannequin, everything else about him is pretty good. He cooks, cleans the house, and works. Although his cooking isn't very good, he's still willing to spend time in the kitchen, I think that's great," she told The Paper, a state-run news outlet.
