Chapter 356 - 356 225 What Does It Feel Like to Get Caught
?Chapter 356: Chapter 225: What Does It Feel Like to Get Caught Pretending? _3 Chapter 356: Chapter 225: What Does It Feel Like to Get Caught Pretending? _3 Tang Song looked at him in surprise, “Eh… it’s really the first time I’ve found out, you really are quite a dark horse.”
“But she had high standards and wasn’t interested in us, so I gradually gave up.”
…
After chatting about their youthful aspirations for a while, Li Zhixi glanced at the time and stood up, “We’ve eaten just about enough. Let’s go, I’ll take you for a walk along the Bund. It’s really beautiful there at this time!”
“Let’s go! It just so happens I haven’t had the chance to explore that area yet.” Tang Song picked up his backpack and followed him down the street.
It was only a few hundred meters from here to the Bund, and walking there didn’t take long.
After crossing two intersections, the moist river breeze hit their faces.
The sparkling Huangpu River reflected the bright lights from both banks, resembling countless ribbons gently swaying, creating an intoxicating beauty.
The towering buildings reflected the gloomy sky, presenting a spectacular sight.
As the two strolled along the riverside, Li Zhixi pointed out each skyscraper, “That one over there is the Shanghai Center Building, the tallest building in Huaxia at 632 meters, and that’s the Global Financial Center…”
Following his narration, Tang Song’s gaze jumped back and forth between the high-rises across the Huangpu River, zigzagging through them and soaking in the prosperity and charm of the metropolis.
He felt a sense of expansiveness and deep emotion.
The fireworks of the world, Shanghai’s neon lights, are what touch the hearts of ordinary people the most.
He was just an ordinary person who loved the glitz and glamour, the bustling nightlife, the joys of life, and the yearning to climb to higher heights.
“Click—” Li Zhixi pulled him over for a selfie by the river.
Then, he took out his phone and showed Tang Song a photo, “This is Zhang Xi, a girl from our sales department.”
Tang Song looked down at the phone screen.
It displayed a girl with a low ponytail, in her early twenties, tall and slim, with a clean and straightforward appearance.
She looked like the lively and cheerful type.
“What do you think, Brother Song? Isn’t she pretty?” Li Zhixi smiled, “I think she is every bit as good as Qiu Yu.”
In college, the most outstanding girl in their major was Qiu Yu.
So Li Zhixi instinctively compared her to Qiu Yu.
Tang Song nodded, “Hmm, she looks quite nice. Go for it and don’t forget to send me an invitation when you get married.”
Fair to say, this girl really was quite something. In a college setting, she would also be very popular.
Li Zhixi put away his phone, looked at the luxury cars passing by on the road behind them, and then at the high-rises opposite.
He said with a sense of melancholy, “This is the place where so many have strived, but how many can actually settle down here? I subtly asked Zhang Xi if she wanted to live in Shanghai or Gusu in the future. That means if I want a future with her, I’d need to be prepared to buy a house in Gusu. Tough indeed!”
“Keep it up, Zhixi. With all your hard work, you might just end up staying in Shanghai, right?” Tang Song patted his shoulder. In the future, he would definitely have many businesses here in Shanghai, and then he could easily help out this old classmate.
For him, it might be a simple gesture, but for Li Zhixi, it could change his destiny.
“Haha, thanks for your good words, Brother Song!” Li Zhixi quickly added, “And I wish you all the best on your entrepreneurial journey! May you find a beautiful girlfriend and complete a perfect life!”
“Eh…” Tang Song really wanted to tell him that he already had several girlfriends, but for the sake of not upsetting his old classmate, he held back.
Otherwise, he might end up like Lv Kai, with envious eyes glowing green.
After that, Li Zhixi took him out of the Bund and strolled along the city lights on the streets.
“That over there is East Imperial Road, one of the 64 roads in Shanghai that will never be widened, preserving many historical buildings…”
…
Cofo Bistro.
“Hello, ladies, good evening. I’m Xinyi’s friend He Xing, just call me Xing. Welcome to our little bar.”
He was dressed in a loose cotton print shirt and washed denim jeans, looking very fashion.
Wang Mei gave a thumbs up, “Xing, the folk song you just sang was really nice!”
Li Xinyi laughed, “Of course, after all, he’s a professional singer.”
“Don’t make me blush, I’m just a flop of a singer,” Xing humbly declined a few words, then sat down next to Li Xinyi, his gaze shifting to Lin Muxue across from him, “And this beauty is?”
He had a good eye, discerning a lot from a person’s attire.
This was definitely someone who wasn’t lacking in money, and among the other three flight attendants, she had better looks and a more striking figure, but most importantly, a cool and intellectual demeanor.
She immediately piqued his immense interest.
Seeing Xing’s expression, Li Xinyi felt a sense of crisis and said somewhat unnaturally, “A college classmate, Lin Muxue, coming to Shanghai for an event, so we decided to meet up.”
“Oh? Lin Muxue, that’s a really nice name,” Xing shifted his chair to get comfortable, about to continue the conversation.
Suddenly, a very magnetic male voice chimed in, “Good evening, Muxue, do you mind if we join you for a drink?”
Everyone looked up to see a young man wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap.
“Ansel?” Lin Muxue raised her eyebrows in slight surprise.
Ansel took off his sunglasses with a smile and winked at her, “Quite a coincidence, I was just having dinner nearby with friends, and when I saw your social media post, I came over.”
Li Xinyi’s eyes flickered, and she said with a smile, “Muxue, is this your friend? Then sit down and join us for a drink.”
“Then I’ll sit down for a drink,” Muxue nodded calmly, inwardly unable to help showing off a bit.
After Ansel sat down, she lifted her glass and asked, “Aren’t you filming lately?”
