Chapter 224 The Growing Canary
In a taxi.
“Ding dong—” the WeChat prompt sounded.
[Li Zhixi: "I'm already on the subway. I'll get there in about 20 minutes. Let's meet at the door of the hotel."]
Tang Song quickly replied: "I'll take a taxi there, it'll be about the same time."
Putting away the phone, Tang Song leaned on the back of his chair and gently closed his eyes.
I am still recalling Su Yu in the movie.
At this moment, a crisp system prompt sounded.
"Ding! Congratulations to the player, the challenge mission [Magic City Film Festival] has been completed."
Then, a faint light screen appeared in front of you, and lines of text jumped out.
[Rewards are being settled...]
[Today, you become a Su Yu fan, fully integrate into this film festival, and act as a sincere fan. Angle, watched all the competition films in which she participated]
[You got: Random gift pack*1]
Return to the main interface and enter the warehouse.
Select [Random Gift Pack] and open it immediately.
“Ding! You got [Song-Dream Echo].”
Then, a stream of information appeared in his mind.
Tang Song leaned on his seat, gently closed his eyes, and began to look carefully.
[The wind blows through the night curtains and gently touches the cheeks, and the gentle moonlight weaves the veil of dreams...]
This is a lyrical song, including the completed lyrics, music and arrangement.
It describes a woman who finally saw the person she missed in her dream after she was drunk.
Tell him your feelings and attachment to him in the dream, and pray that the dream will not wake up.
The lyrics are delicate and affectionate, and the music style is ethereal and distant, showing the complex emotions vividly.
Tang Song sighed, seeming to see the shadow of Su Yu in it.
…
The taxi stopped at the roadside, Tang Song opened the door and walked out.
The neon signs were flashing, the crowds were bustling, and the shops were dazzling...
Through the crowd, Tang Song quickly saw the signboard of Dongjiang Food Stalls.
Li Zhixi sent him three hotels before. Because this was the closest to the Bulgari Hotel where the beautician lived, he simply chose this one.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure came into view.
Three years have passed, and this lively and cheerful college classmate Li Zhixi has matured a lot.
He is about 177cm tall, with a slim build, good looks, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his hair is a little thinner.
The dress is also slightly formal, shirt, trousers, casual shoes.
As the distance got closer, Li Zhixi, who had been looking around, also spotted him, with a smile of surprise and joy on his face.
He rushed over at a trot and hugged his shoulders, "Okay, okay! Brother Song, you are so trendy now. This hairstyle, this figure, and these handsome little glasses are really impressive, awesome!"
"How about I just wait for your words? Are you busy at work lately?"
The two chatted enthusiastically and sat down at a table outside the store.
Ordered some barbecue, beer, and some Jianghu dishes.
Just like that, we were blowing the evening breeze, playing with skewers, drinking beer, and chatting about our experiences since graduation.
The Tang and Song Dynasties also roughly knew Li Zhixi’s situation.
I didn’t study deeply in college and it was hard to find a job. I finally got into a game start-up company and ate the boss’s pie every day.
Because I have no money, the house I rent is very remote. I have to commute for more than 3 hours every day. I live in a bedroom converted from a kitchen. After putting down a bed, it is basically full.
I read tutorials, write code, and do projects day and night every day, accumulating experience bit by bit.
Later, Qiu Yu was transferred to pre-sales technical support. The company had a technical position vacant and promoted him internally.
Li Zhixi seized the opportunity to find another job, and things gradually got better.
When talking about the three years in Shanghai, Li Zhixi was full of emotion, "You know, my hometown is in Jiangsu Province. When I was in college, I was thinking, I have to go to Shanghai to have a try? Blow the evening breeze of the Huangpu River, look at the Oriental Pearl Tower, and watch the scenery across the river Lujiazui, feel the night view of the Bund. Only when you get here can you feel your insignificance and confusion. "I understand." Tang Song nodded and looked at the college classmate opposite.
In the three years since graduation, he has really changed a lot, and his mentality is completely different from the past.
Just like myself in the imperial capital before.
…
In the black Bentley Flying Spur.
Thick and soft carpets, delicate and comfortable leather seats, excellent texture of the interior...
Lin Muxue, who was leaning in the back row, opened the seat for ventilation and massage, squinted her eyes slightly, and looked at the flow of people passing by outside the window.
I felt an unparalleled sense of dignity and comfort.
Zhao Yaqian, who was sitting next to her, smiled widely and kept typing with her fingers.
After a while, she turned her head and smiled at Lin Muxue: "Xiaoxue, Brother Song said he would give me a little surprise tonight, and he is already making arrangements so that I can be mentally prepared."
Her face was filled with uncontrollable joy, and her eyes were bright.
Leaving Yancheng this time, she realized even more the weight of the promise made in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
It is really meticulous care, so that she can enjoy life with peace of mind.
Hearing this, Lin Muxue felt a little sour in her heart, and sighed: "Qianqian, Tang and Song Dynasties are so good to you!"
"Well, I don't even know how to repay him." Zhao Yaqian stuck out her pink tongue.
"Don't think so wildly. Since Tang and Song asked you to sign the trust, you definitely don't want to repay him with anything." Lin Muxue pursed her lips and said, "Qianqian, I will get together with my college classmates later and have a drink. I need to use the car, okay?"
"Well, okay, I'm waiting for Brother Song's gift at the hotel tonight and I won't go out."
"Okay, thank you Qianqian, mua~" Lin Muxue hugged her and kissed her One mouthful, "I will go back early in the evening to share the joy with you."
The meeting place was a bistro (bistro) on Imperial Middle Road, very close to the Bulgari Hotel.
In the past, she mainly wanted to let her old classmates who could not see her clearly know how well she was doing, and she did not intend to stay with them for too long.
After experiencing the Golden Goblet Ceremony, the Hermès event, and getting to know so many outstanding people, she felt that she should improve her style in the future.
After Zhao Yaqian and Xiaoxue chatted about today’s experience, they leaned back on their seats tiredly and looked at the scenery outside in a daze.
She doesn’t know many things. She used to be able to help him with skin care issues, but now that his skin is getting better and better, it seems a bit useless.
Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
Brother Song doesn’t follow dramas, stars, or watch variety shows, so we have few common topics.
In Xiaoxue’s words, it just cannot provide more emotional value.
“Alas~ My beloved programmer friend, what should Meiren Zhao learn next?”
She sighed in her heart, looked at the darkening sky outside the window, thought about her boyfriend, and began to seriously think about her future.
The trip to the magical city was of great significance to her. It allowed her, a small-town girl from an ordinary background, to see the most prosperous metropolis, see many big scenes, feel the excitement and the charm of money.
Unknowingly, we are growing.
Although this process is a little troublesome, it is more about joy and expectation.
