Chapter 224

In the taxi.

"Ding-dong—" The WeChat notification sound rang out.

【Li Zhixi: "I'm already on the subway; it will take about 20 minutes to get there. Let's meet at the entrance of the restaurant."】

Tang Song replied quickly: "I'm taking a taxi there; the time is about the same."

Putting away his phone, Tang Song leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes gently.

In his mind, he was still recalling Su Yu in the movie scenes.

Just at this moment, a crisp system notification sound rang out.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player, the challenge mission 【Modou Film Festival】 has been completed."

Immediately after, a faint light screen floated in front of his eyes, and lines of text jumped out.

【Reward is being calculated...】

【Today, you became a Su Yu fan, fully immersed yourself in this film festival, and watched all the competition films she participated in from the perspective of a sincere fan.】

【You have obtained: Random Gift Pack *1】

Returning to the main interface, entering the warehouse.

Selecting 【Random Gift Pack】, opening it immediately.

"Ding! You have obtained 【Song - Dream Echo】."

Immediately after, a stream of information appeared in his mind.

Tang Song leaned back in the seat, closed his eyes gently, and began to check carefully.

【The wind passes through the night curtain and brushes the cheeks, the gentle moonlight weaves into a dream veil...】

This is a lyrical song, containing the complete lyrics, music, and arrangement.

It describes a woman who, after getting drunk, finally sees the person she misses in her dream.

Telling her feelings and attachment to him in the dream, praying that the dream will not wake up.

The lyrics are delicate and affectionate, the music style is ethereal and distant, displaying complex emotions vividly.

Tang Song sighed, seemingly seeing Su Yu's shadow in it.

The taxi stopped steadily on the side of the road, and Tang Song pushed open the car door and walked down.

Neon signs flickered, crowds bustled, shops were dazzling...

Passing through the crowd, Tang Song soon saw the sign for Dongjiang Food Stall.

Li Zhixi had sent him three restaurants before; because this was closest to the Bulgari Hotel where the beautician lived, he simply chose this one.

Immediately after, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure came into view.

3 years have passed, and this lively and cheerful university classmate Li Zhixi has matured a lot.

About 177 in height, thin build, decent looks, thick eyebrows and big eyes, just his hair is a bit sparse.

His dress is also slightly formal: shirt, trousers, casual shoes.

As the distance closed, Li Zhixi, who had been looking around, also discovered him, a look of surprise and joy appearing on his face.

He ran over and hugged his shoulders, "Nice, nice! Brother Song, you are really trendy now; this hairstyle, this build, these handsome little glasses—I'm truly impressed, awesome!"

"I was just waiting for this sentence from you; how is it? Is work busy lately?"

The two chatted warmly for a while and sat down directly at the table outside the shop.

Ordering some barbecue and beer, and adding a few Jianghu dishes.

Just like this, blowing the night breeze, eating skewers, drinking beer, and chatting about their experiences since graduation.

Tang Song also roughly knew Li Zhixi's situation.

In university, he didn't learn deeply, work was hard to find, and he finally managed to get into a game startup company, eating the big pie drawn by the boss every day.

Because he had no money, the house he rented was very remote, commuting more than 3 hours every day, and he lived in a bedroom converted from a kitchen; after putting down a bed, it was basically full.

Every day he watched tutorials, wrote code, and did projects without sleep, accumulating experience bit by bit.

Later, Qiu Yu transferred to pre-sales technical support, the company had a technical position vacant, and she recommended him internally.

Li Zhixi seized the opportunity to jump ship, and only then did things gradually get better.

Chatting about these 3 years in Modou, Li Zhixi was full of emotion, "You know, my hometown is in Jiangsu Province. When I was in university, I was thinking, I have to go to Modou to break through, right? Blow the night breeze of the Huangpu River, see the Oriental Pearl, look at Lujiazui across the river, and feel the night view of the Bund. But only when I really got here could I feel my own insignificance and confusion."

"I can understand." Tang Song nodded, looking at the university classmate opposite him who was full of sighs.

In the 3 years since graduation, he has really changed a lot, and his mentality is completely different from the past.

Just like himself before in the Imperial Capital.

In the black Bentley Flying Spur.

Thick and soft carpet, delicate and comfortable leather seats, interior with excellent texture...

Lin Empress Mu Xue, leaning in the back row, turned on the seat ventilation and massage, squinted her eyes slightly, and watched the flow of people passing by outside the window.

She felt an unparalleled nobility and comfort.

Zhao Yaqian, sitting beside her, was beaming with joy, her fingers typing on the phone "tap, tap, tap" without stopping.

After a moment, she turned her head and smiled at Lin Empress Mu Xue: "Little Xue, Brother Song said he would give me a little surprise tonight; it's already being arranged, so I should be mentally prepared."

Her face was filled with irrepressible joy, and her eyes were shining.

Leaving Yancheng this time, she realized even more the weight of the promise Tang Song made at that time.

It was truly meticulous care, allowing her to enjoy life with peace of mind.

Hearing this, Lin Empress Mu Xue felt a bit sour in her heart and sighed: "Qian Qian, Tang Song is really good to you!"

"Mm, I don't know how to repay him." Zhao Yaqian stuck out her pink, tender tongue.

"Don't let your imagination run wild; since Tang Song let you sign the trust, he definitely doesn't expect you to repay him anything." Lin Empress Mu Xue pursed her lips and said: "Qian Qian, I'm going to gather with university classmates later to have a drink; I need to use the car, is that okay?"

"Mm, okay, I'll wait for Brother Song's gift at the hotel tonight; I won't go out."

"Alright, thank you Qian Qian, mua~" Lin Empress Mu Xue hugged her and kissed her, "I'll go back early tonight to share the joy with you."

The gathering place was a bistro on Middle Imperial Capital Road, very close to the Bulgari Hotel.

She went mainly to let those old classmates who once couldn't see her clearly know how well she was doing, and she didn't intend to stay with them for too long.

After experiencing this Jin Jue Ceremony and the Hermès event, and meeting so many outstanding people, she felt that she should improve her style in the future.

After Zhao Yaqian and Little Xue chatted about today's experience, she leaned on the seat somewhat tiredly, looking at the scenery outside and starting to daze.

She didn't know many things; before, she could give him help with skincare problems, but now his skin is getting better and better, so she seems a bit useless.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a bit lost.

Brother Song doesn't watch dramas, doesn't chase stars, doesn't watch variety shows; she and him have few common topics.

In Little Xue's words, it means she cannot provide more emotional value.

"Sigh~ my beloved programmer friend, what should Beauty Zhao learn next?"

She sighed in her heart, looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, thinking about her boyfriend, and began to think seriously about her future.

The trip to Modou is of great significance to her, allowing this small-town girl from an ordinary background to see the most prosperous metropolis, see many big scenes, feel the intoxication of money, and realize the charm of money.

Unknowingly, she is also growing.

Although this process is slightly troublesome, there is more joy and expectation.
