Chapter 93: I’m asking on behalf of Lele_1
“Do you think you’re some big star? You don’t have free time?”
Xu Xinling rolled her eyes at his excuse for rejecting her.
“It’s true, I don’t have free time, I’ve already made plans to have dinner with someone. It wouldn’t be right to stand them up, would it?” Tang Feng had to offer some explanation.
“Male or female?” Xu Xinling blurted out, then realized her mistake and quickly added, “I’m asking on behalf of Lele.”
In a luxurious villa, a girl soaking in a bathtub suddenly sneezed without warning.
Which jerk is mentioning me again?
A taunting smile appeared on Tang Feng’s face, “Female.”
“Is she pretty?” After Xu Xinling asked, she immediately added, as if it would clear her of suspicion, “I’m also asking this for Song Lele.”
“Prettier than you.”
Tang Feng said that just to annoy her.
Actually, if one were to really compare, Xu Xinling and Jiang Zi were pretty much on the same level in terms of looks.
The difference was that Jiang Zi was the understanding type of woman, while Xu Xinling was more of a domineering tigress.
“Psh, as if a woman prettier than me would ask you out to dinner,” Xu Xinling remained skeptical.
“Look down on me, will you? I’m quite popular too, you know?” said Tang Feng, jokingly, but then he let her in on the truth, “I’m attending a high school reunion.”
“Oh,” a glimmer of joy appeared on Xu Xinling’s face, and she casually asked another question, feigning indifference, “Where’s the reunion? Don’t get me wrong, I’m asking for Lele.”
Tang Feng was at a loss for words.
How could Song Lele possibly have so many questions?
But he had nothing to hide, so he went ahead and gave her the location of the reunion.
When Xu Xinling heard the name of the hotel, her expression turned odd, “You’re going to have dinner at Friday Grand Hotel?”
“Yeah, you also find the name of this hotel a bit weird, right? I don’t know who the idiot that named it was thinking. Why not call it Tuesday?”
Tang Feng thought she found the hotel name strange and immediately made a snide comment.
Then he saw a flash of murderous intent in Xu Xinling’s eyes, rather frightening.
“What’s wrong? Did I say something incorrect?” he asked, puzzled.
“No, you are right.”
Xu Xinling gritted her teeth, with a hint of menace in her tone.
Tang Feng didn’t think much of it and made some more small talk with her before getting up to leave.
As soon as he left, Xu Xinling’s face immediately frosted over, “You little brat, dare to call me an idiot? Just you wait.”
…
Since it was still early, Tang Feng went home to take a bath first.
Then he pulled out his high school graduation photo and studied it carefully.
It’s been a long time since everyone had contacted each other, and some people he could barely remember.
To avoid awkwardness, it was best to think of these people’s names in advance.
It took about an hour or so, but he finally managed to match everyone’s face to their names.
Then he fell into reminiscing.
High school life was what he missed the most; although everyone was busy with studies, their relationships were very pure.
In contrast, the camaraderie in college wasn’t as pure, somewhat tinged with utilitarianism.
And once you’re out in society, it’s a whole different story.
Which is why he truly valued this reunion.
Seeing that the appointed time was almost upon him, he put on the clothes he bought at Qianda Department Store.
A black casual suit, striking a balance between not too formal and not too casual.
He already had good looks, and now that his body had been modified by the system, he was like a walking mannequin.
Dressed in this suit, he really had the air of a successful person about him.
Feeling ready with no oversight, he set out for Friday Hotel.
Since the hotel was somewhat far from where he lived, he took the straightforward option and hailed a cab.
It was only meant to be a half-hour ride, but due to rush hour congestion, the trip ended up taking over an hour.
When he arrived at Friday Hotel, it was past the seven o’clock time they had agreed upon.
He was still some distance from the hotel entrance when he saw Jiang Zi and a bunch of classmates waiting there.
Among them were a few guys who were fawning over Jiang Zi, saying something to her.
But she looked distracted, glancing over in his direction from time to time.
A warmth spread through Tang Feng’s heart.
Old classmates really do warm your heart. So many of them were waiting outside just for him.
As soon as the taxi came to a stop and he paid the fare, he hurriedly got out.
“Tang Feng, you’ve arrived?”
Jiang Zi greeted him with joy as she saw him get out of the car.
The guys who had been courting Jiang Zi all looked at him with envy.
“Tang Feng, we haven’t seen you in years, you’ve gotten even more handsome. No wonder you’ve got our class leader Jiang coming out to greet you personally.”
“Yeah, we all said we should wait inside, but she insisted on waiting out here. The treatment for a handsome guy is really different, isn’t it?”
“Are you two together? If there’s really something going on, you can’t keep it a secret from us.”
“Right, right, the good stuff shouldn’t be taken by outsiders. Our class leader Jiang has gotten so beautiful, she absolutely can’t fall for some outsiders…”
The classmates started teasing in unison.
Jiang Zi’s face turned red, she was about to wipe Tang Feng’s sweat with a tissue from her bag.
But their ribbing made her so flustered that she pushed the tissues back into her bag.
“Stop talking nonsense, I… I’ve only recently reconnected with Tang Feng, nothing’s as complicated as you think.” She felt compelled to make things clear, fearing a misunderstanding.
Tang Feng clearly saw that after Jiang Zi spoke these words, several of the male classmates seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
It was obvious that they too had feelings for Jiang Zi.
This was understandable, for who wouldn’t be moved by beauty?
Jiang Zi had transformed into a goddess-like beauty, and which man wouldn’t be stirred upon seeing her?
“So you’re saying I still have a chance?”
Just then, a male classmate spoke up.
The other guys, no matter what they thought, didn’t dare to voice it out.
But this one boldly said it aloud, and from the sound of it, he wasn’t joking.
Jiang Zi’s face darkened instantly, suggestive of her displeasure.
Tang Feng narrowed his eyes at the man.
Eager to see who was eyeing his prey.
