Chapter 224 The Growing Canary
Chapter 224 The Growing Canary
In a taxi.
"Ding Dong——" the WeChat notification sound rang.
【Li Zhixi: "I'm already on the subway. It will take about 20 minutes to get there. Let's meet at the hotel entrance."】
Tang Song quickly replied: "I'll take a taxi there, it's about the same time."
Putting away his phone, Tang Song leaned back in his chair and gently closed his eyes.
I am still recalling Su Yu in the movie.
At this moment, a clear system prompt sounded.
"Ding! Congratulations to the player, the challenge mission [Magic City Film Festival] has been completed."
Then, a faint light curtain appeared before his eyes, and lines of text jumped out.
[Rewards are being settled...]
[Today, you transformed into a Su Yu fan, immersed yourself in this film festival, and watched all the competition films she participated in from the perspective of a sincere fan]
[You received: Random gift package*1]
Return to the main interface and enter the warehouse.
Select [Random Gift Pack] and open it immediately.
"Ding! You obtained [Song - Echo of Dream]."
Then, a stream of information appeared in his mind.
Tang Song leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes gently, and began to check carefully.
[The wind blows through the night curtain and gently touches my cheek, and the gentle moonlight weaves a veil of dreams...]
This is a lyrical song that includes completed lyrics, music and arrangement.
It describes a woman who finally meets the person she misses in her dream after getting drunk.
In the dream, I expressed my feelings and attachment to him, and prayed that I would not wake up.
The lyrics are delicate and affectionate, and the music style is ethereal and remote, showing the complex emotions vividly.
Tang Song sighed, as if he saw the shadow of Su Yu in it.
...
The taxi stopped by the roadside and Tang Song opened the door and got out.
Neon signs are flashing, people are bustling, and shops are full of dazzling goods...
Passing through the crowd, Tang Song soon saw the sign of Dongjiang Food Stall.
Li Zhixi had sent him three hotels before, and since this place was closest to the Bulgari Hotel where the beautician lived, he simply chose this one.
Then, 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, thin, with a decent appearance, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his hair is a little sparse.
The dress is also slightly formal, with a shirt, trousers and casual shoes.
As the distance got closer, Li Zhixi, who had been looking around, also noticed him and a smile of surprise and joy appeared on his face.
She trotted over and hugged his shoulders, "Okay, okay! Brother Song, you are really fashionable now. This hairstyle, this body, and these handsome little glasses really impress me. Awesome!"
"I've been waiting for you to say this. How are you? Are you busy with work recently?"
The two chatted lively for a while and then sat down at a table outside the store.
We ordered some barbecue, beer, and a few local dishes.
We just enjoyed the evening breeze, ate skewers, drank beer, and talked about our experiences since graduation.
Tang Song also roughly knew about Li Zhixi's situation.
I didn't learn much in college, and it was hard to find a job. I finally got into a game startup, but I lived off the promises made by my boss. Because I had no money, I rented a house in a very remote area, and I had to commute for more than 3 hours every day. I lived in a bedroom converted from a kitchen, which was basically full after putting down a bed.
I read tutorials, write code, and work on projects day and night every day, accumulating experience bit by bit.
Later, Qiu Yu transferred to pre-sales technical support. A technical position became vacant in the company, so he was recommended internally.
Li Zhixi seized the opportunity to switch jobs, and things gradually got better.
Talking about the past three years in Shanghai, Li Zhixi was full of emotion. "You know, my hometown is Jiangsu Province. When I was in college, I thought, I must go to Shanghai to try my luck? Feel the evening breeze of the Huangpu River, see the Oriental Pearl Tower, look across the river at Lujiazui, and experience the night view of the Bund. But when I really got here, I felt how insignificant and lost I was."
"I understand." Tang Song nodded and looked at his college classmate who was sighing across from him.
In the three years since graduation, he has really changed a lot, and his mentality is completely different from before.
Just like myself before in the imperial capital.
……
In a black Bentley Flying Spur.
Thick and soft carpets, fine and comfortable leather seats, and interior decoration with excellent texture...
Lin Muxue, leaning in the back seat, turned on the seat ventilation and massage, squinted her eyes slightly, and watched the people passing by outside the window.
I felt an incomparable sense of dignity and comfort.
Zhao Yaqian, who was sitting next to her, was smiling widely and typing away 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. He has already arranged it, so I should be mentally prepared."
Her face was filled with irrepressible joy and her eyes were shining.
This time when she left Yancheng, she felt even more deeply the weight of the promise that Tang Song had made.
It is really meticulous care that allows her to enjoy life with peace of mind.
Hearing this, Lin Muxue felt a little sad and said with emotion: "Qianqian, Tang Song is so good to you!"
"Well, I don't know how to repay him." Zhao Yaqian stuck out her pink tongue.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Since Tang Song asked you to sign the trust, he certainly doesn't want you to repay him." Lin Muxue pursed her lips and said, "Qianqian, I'm going to get together with my college classmates and have a drink later. I need to use the car, is that okay?"
"Well, sure. I'll wait for Brother Song's gift at the hotel tonight and won't go out."
"Okay, thank you Qianqian, mua~" Lin Muxue hugged her and kissed her, "I will go back early in the evening and share the joy with you."
The gathering place was a bistro on Didu Middle Road, very close to the Bulgari Hotel.
Her main purpose in the past was to let those old classmates who once couldn't see themselves clearly know how well she was doing, and she didn't plan to stay with them for too long.
After experiencing the Golden Goblet Awards and the Hermès event, and meeting so many outstanding people, she feels that she should improve her style in the future.
After Zhao Yaqian and Xiaoxue talked about their experiences today, she leaned back in her chair tiredly and began to daydream at the scenery outside.
She doesn't know much, and 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 lost.
Brother Song doesn’t follow TV dramas, idols, or variety shows much, so he and I don’t have many common topics.
In Xiaoxue's words, it is impossible to provide more emotional value.
"Alas~ My beloved programmer friend, what should Miss Zhao learn next?"
She sighed in her heart, looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, thought about her boyfriend, and began to seriously think about her future.
The trip to Shanghai was of great significance to her. It allowed a girl from an ordinary small town like her to see the most prosperous metropolis, witness many grand scenes, feel the decadence and glamour, and experience the charm of money.
I am growing up without realizing it.
Although this process is a little annoying, it is more about joy and anticipation.
