After the start of the covid-19 pandemic, nothing has been the same again due to confinement and restrictions around the world. Due to the situation, day-to-day activities had to be adapted and technology was used to carry them out.
Working from home and having virtual classes was not the only thing that changed with the pandemic, even relationships and dating were affected, since people had to keep their distance to avoid contagion.
Although little by little they have tried to return to normality, it has not been possible due to the outbreak of covid-19, but can you imagine that you have an appointment at the house of the boy who asked you out and, suddenly, the authorities send lockdown immediately and you can’t get out?
As impossible as it may seem, this is exactly what happened to this 30-year-old girl in Zhengzhou, China, who through her social networks told the story of how she was having dinner at her date’s house and when she was about to leave home, he realized that the entire neighborhood would have to stay on lockdown until further notice.
After I arrived in Zhengzhou, there was an outbreak and her community was confined and I couldn’t go out.
In China, the isolation of communities in which a high number of covid-19 infections among residents is detected is common. For this reason, they suddenly order extensive quarantine, in order to put an end to local outbreaks as soon as possible.
At the time of the appointment of the woman, who is surnamed Wang, with the boy, the Zhengzhou community had confirmed 100 new positive cases, so she could not go out and had to stay confined with him.
Wang was at the young man’s house for a few days, so he posted some videos of his unexpected experience, where the boy can be seen cleaning the house and cooking for her. The woman’s recordings soon became a trend on social networks, since her appointment was something very unusual.
Wang had four dates before going out with the boy from Zhengzhou, since before the Lunar New Year she returned home after living in Guangzhou. Her family was organizing dates for her with possible suitors, because they are worried about her because at her age she is still single.
My parents think I’m getting older, so they arranged more than 10 blind dates for me… The fifth one wanted to show off his culinary skills and invited me to dinner at his house.
Although the girl assures that he was very kind to her and cooked for her every day, the way they met was not the best of all.
During quarantine, I feel like other than being reticent like a wooden mannequin, everything else about him is pretty good. He cooks, cleans the house and works. Although he is not very good at cooking, he is willing to spend time in the kitchen, I think that is great.
After one of his videos went viral, Wang chose to hide it from his account, since at that time he was still at the boy’s house and some of his friends began to call him and he believed that this could affect his life.
