Chapter 255: Looking for a Thrill

Ling Feng took a bite of a wonton and ended up burning his tongue.

He hurriedly spat the wonton back into the bowl, and seeing Mou Lili still staring at him, he simply admitted: "I want to find something exciting to do with you."

Mou Lili couldn't help but sneer, "I knew it."

"You guessed right, I'm heartbroken."

"How many relationships have you actually been in?" Mou Lili picked up a bean sprout from the wonton to eat.

"Not a single one, okay? It's just... the person I like is getting married," Ling Feng said.

Mou Lili ate a wonton, "You're quite sentimental; it seems you've truly met your one true love."

"But she doesn't like me."

"Do you have a photo? Let me see," Mou Lili said.

"Aren't you just rubbing salt into my wounds?"

"I just want to see what kind of heroine could hurt someone as fickle as you."

Ling Feng simply took out a photo.

His phone had many photos of Bai Shunan; some were taken secretly, some were taken intentionally, and some were downloaded from her social media feed.

Mou Lili looked at a few and clicked her tongue, "She really is top-tier, beautiful and tasteful. No wonder she doesn't think much of you."

"Can't you say something nice?"

Mou Lili said: "Didn't you want to do something exciting? Eat up, and once you're done, we'll go play."

Ling Feng was stunned.

He thought that given the nature of Mou Lili's work, she must work at night and sleep during the day.

She was probably going back to sleep later, and before she slept... they could do something.

Ling Feng added: "Then let's agree on this first: this time we are purely together to do something exciting. You can have whatever you want, just not my heart."

"Who wants your heart?" Mou Lili said with disdain.

The wonton shop owner had been listening to their wild talk from the side, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

Young people these days really play in such exciting ways.

He was better off; working hard from dawn till dusk with his wife and living a plain, simple life, he didn't need to go out looking for excitement at all.

……

After eating the wontons, they hailed a taxi by the roadside. Mou Lili gave an address, but Ling Feng didn't hear it clearly.

As it turned out, upon arriving, Ling Feng discovered it was a scenic area.

"You live around here?" Ling Feng asked.

"Didn't you want to do something exciting? I'm taking you to do it now," Mou Lili smiled mysteriously.

Ten minutes later, they were standing in front of a bungee jumping attraction.

So high!

Truly exciting!

It was still early, and there were only the two of them at the bungee jump.

Ling Feng looked at Mou Lili helplessly, "Is it appropriate to play this early in the morning?"

"How is it not appropriate?"

Mou Lili said: "In a moment when you go down, just silently recite the name of the person you like. You say, 'I want to forget you,' and after you go down and come back up, you will have a feeling of being reborn. You will realize that life doesn't actually have to be so twisted, and there's no need to keep wasting time on one person."

"Really?"

"Why don't you try it and see?" Mou Lili called over the staff to help Ling Feng put on the safety gear.

Ling Feng looked at the scenery below from the platform.

He silently recited Bai Shunan's name in his heart.

Bai Shunan, I want to forget you!

Once the gear was secured, the staff member gave him a gentle push, and his body plummeted straight down. The moment he felt weightless, he let out a loud shout, and then many things were released; he truly felt reborn.

By the time his body stabilized, he opened his eyes again, feeling as if he had died and lived once more.

He had played this kind of attraction before, and even more exciting ones, but the feeling this time was different.

The staff member placed him in a safe area, and he looked up at the jumping platform, wanting to see if Mou Lili had come down.

However, there was no sign of Mou Lili at all.

"Where is the girl who came with me?" he asked the staff member.

"She left a long time ago."

Ling Feng: "..."

He had actually been played for a fool again.

……

Ling Feng went to the bar again the next day, but he didn't see Mou Lili.

The singers at the bar weren't permanent; generally, whoever was free would come, or they would wait for the duty manager's notification, as people who came to drink also wanted to experience different styles.

Ling Feng sat at the bar drinking when a girl also brought her glass and sat down next to him.

"Handsome, here alone?" the girl asked.

Ling Feng found the girl a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

He said impatiently: "This handsome guy doesn't want to chat."

"Fine, don't chat then," the girl felt rebuffed but didn't leave.

Just then, the duty manager walked by, and Ling Feng stopped him to ask: "Why didn't Mou Lili come? The one who usually sings here."

"Mou Lili?" The duty manager took a good while to remember, "Oh, you mean Rose? She usually only comes on weekends; today is only Tuesday."

Ling Feng only then remembered that he usually came to the bar on weekends, which was why he only ever saw Mou Lili on weekends.

After the duty manager left, the girl beside him also spoke up: "You're looking for Rose? Rose has a day job; she's not like us unemployed drifters who can only hang around places like bars."

Ling Feng asked, "You know her?"

"I'm her guitar accompanist, so of course I know her."

"No wonder you looked familiar." Ling Feng asked again, "Where does she work?"

"It seems to be some foreign trade company, but her company's office building is easy to find; it's right in the West District's CBD, and it's quite grand."

West District, 6:00 PM.

At closing time, employees began to file out of a 60-story office building.

They were all white-collar workers, each dressed in bright and polished attire.

At 6:12 PM, a girl wearing a blue professional suit with her hair in a smooth ponytail also walked out.

At first glance, she was no different from an ordinary white-collar worker: light makeup, and on her face was the expression of a typical office worker—the relaxation after finishing work, yet not entirely at ease, because she still had to commute, and might even have to think about what to eat for dinner once she got home.

But upon closer inspection, one could still see that she had an excellent physique, one that stood out at a glance even when walking in a crowd.

Ling Feng pressed the horn.

He was driving a flashy Lamborghini sports car today, yellow, which was particularly conspicuous parked on the side of the road, though people in Beishi were used to luxury cars and usually just gave them a hurried glance.

But once he honked the horn, quite a few people looked over again.

Including Mou Lili.

Seeing Ling Feng, Mou Lili first stopped in her tracks, but quickly pretended not to know him.

Ling Feng hurriedly drove to catch up, staying by her side and honking the horn from time to time.

Mou Lili could not stand it anymore; there were so many colleagues watching here.

She signaled for him to stop the car, then quickly ducked inside.

Ling Feng drove the car, accelerated, and before long, they had driven out of that area and arrived in front of a park.
