Their eyes t.
Lv Kai stared, scrutinizing him carefully, seemingly unable to believe his eyes.
Tang Song chuckled and walked over to his table, giving his shoulder a strong pat, "Long ti no see, Brother Kai."
"Whoa, Tang Song! It's really you! I couldn't believe it when I saw you walk in," Lv Kai stood up abruptly, his face full of disbelief, "Did you go to Korea or sothing?"
Tang Song used to be a bit of a ss before graduation, a far cry from his trendy look now.
"Since coming back from the capital, I've been working out and losing weight. It's been paying off."
"Man, this isn't just paying off; you've evolved."
They sat down and chatted briefly about their recent lives. Lv Kai reminisced, "Back in college, you were so diligent. We all thought you'd stay in the capital. But coming back to Yan City is good, too, with less pressure. With your abilities, you'll do well anywhere."
During college, Tang Song was known as a "famous figure" in their departnt, studying hard and excelling in his coursework. He was always busy and often hard to find.
Everyone thought he would definitely get into a top graduate school and pursue an academic career. In fact, he had registered for the graduate entrance exams. But unexpectedly, he didn't even take the exams and went straight to intern at a major internet company in the capital.
After a mont of hesitation, Lv Kai asked, "Do you want to share a table? I have an 80% discount coupon; it's a good deal."
"Not today. I have a date with a girl," Tang Song quickly waved his hand. He and Tian Jing weren't very familiar yet, and adding an old classmate to the mix would ruin the date experience.
"Nice, so you're dating now. Is she pretty?"
Tang Song blinked, "Quite pretty."
Lv Kai smiled mysteriously, "Well, I also have a date with a girl. You know her, actually."
"Oh? Who's your date?"
Lv Kai's face lit up, "Rember Zhang Xinrui? The cute girl from the Electronic Information Engineering departnt. We work at the sa company now and get along really well."
Tang Song recalled a girl with a short stature, slightly chubby, cute-looking with a ponytail. They were in the sa departnt and often had classes together, so he had a clear mory of her.
Tang Song asked suspiciously, "I rember you were quite interested in her during college, often praising her looks. Did you find out where she worked and joined the company on purpose?"
Lv Kai blushed, "It's not as creepy as you think. We kept in touch after graduation."
"I get it, I get it. Go for it!"
Lv Kai grinned and nodded, then suddenly stood up excitedly, waving, "She's here!"
Tang Song instinctively moved away from the table, turning to look.
Wearing a shirt, skirt, and high heels with full makeup, she looked much more mature. Though she had slimd down a bit, her figure still had a bit of roundness.
The sound of heels clicking drew closer.
"Sorry, Brother Kai, there was a traffic jam."
"No problem, it's a holiday, so the roads are busy," Lv Kai replied cheerfully and patted Tang Song, "So, what do you think? Xinrui looks even prettier than in college, right?"
Tang Song smiled and nodded, greeting Zhang Xinrui: "Long ti no see. Do you rember ?"
Zhang Xinrui looked at the tall, handso guy beside Lv Kai, trying to recall him but couldn't quite place him. Surprised, she asked, "You look familiar. Were we college classmates?"
She thought that, with his current looks, he should have been the talk of the girls' dorm back then.
Lv Kai laughed, "Haha, he's Tang Song, our top student, the quiet one."
Zhang Xinrui's eyes widened in realization, "Oh, it's you! You've changed so much!"
...
"Liting, feeling better?"
"Yes, much better." The rightful source is Nove1Fire
"I added a few signature dishes. Let know if there's anything else you want."
He Liting took the nu and absentmindedly checked a vegetable dish, "This is fine. I don't eat much; any more would be a waste."
"Alright," Li Xinghui handed the nu to the waiter and started chatting about the restaurant's atmosphere.
He Liting couldn't help but glance at Tang Song, who was chatting with a man on the other side. He was completely different from what she had imagined, with a great deanor and attractive looks. She wondered if the BMW was his. If it was, he was definitely a high-quality man.
She hesitated, then took a photo with her phone but decided not to send it to Zhao Yaqian. Her cousin was already feeling down, and knowing Tang Song was out with another girl would only make her feel worse.
She wondered what the girl he was eting looked like. Just then, she saw a girl walking over to Tang Song and talking to him. Her heart tightened as she scrutinized her.
She instantly felt relieved. The girl was short, even in high heels, slightly chubby, and though her face was decent, she was no match for her cousin, who could easily outshine her.
It seed Tang Song had lowered his standards due to Zhao Yaqian's indecisiveness. If he was indeed as impressive as he appeared today, they could really be a good match. With Zhao Yaqian's looks and figure, she could definitely win him back.
...
"Ding-dong—" Tang Song's phone rang.
He looked at it and said, "My date's almost here. I should get going. We’ll catch up later."
"Sure, sure, go ahead!" Lv Kai pushed him with a laugh, "I’m really curious to see what she looks like, haha."
As Tang Song returned to his seat, Zhang Xinrui's eyes sparkled, "Brother Kai, what does Tang Song do for work now?"
"He worked in the capital before, then moved back to Yan City to work in a trading company. He just quit a few days ago."
"Oh, I see," Zhang Xinrui nodded gently.
"Here, Xinrui, you order. It's getting dark soon, and there will be a music performance. We can enjoy the barbecue, listen to the music, and admire the scenery," Lv Kai said, handing her the nu and looking towards the entrance.
He was genuinely curious about the girl who had made the usually reserved Tang Song so proactive. It was peak ti, and stylish, sexy girls were walking around, pleasing to the eye.
Suddenly, a dazzling white light caught his attention. Lv Kai's eyes twitched, and he lost focus for a mont.
The white dress shimred like a teor, the exposed skin glowing a healthy, cool white. As the sky darkened and the terrace lights lit up in warm tones, the girl stood out even more.
With a sweet face, neat bangs, a slender, fair neck, and long, straight legs, she looked like a female protagonist from a manga.
Lv Kai couldn't help but marvel internally, "She’s stunning!"
Her outfit looked expensive, and she carried a sparkling bag. Definitely a rich, ideal girl.
He watched in awe as the cool white-skinned beauty walked to Tang Song’s table and greeted him sweetly.
Lv Kai’s heart clenched, his eyes widening in shock.
