"Hey? No, wait, today is Saturday!"
Lu Zheng just stepped forward, then couldnât help but put away his folded fan, slapped his forehead, and turned back to the master bedroom of the backyard, crossing into modern times.
Just crossed over, picked up the phone, and there were 99+ message notifications on WeChat, all from the dormitory group of four.
Tong Muxuan, Zhao Wei, and Lei Zhiyun had already agreed on the place to meet tonight and were frantically @ing Lu Zheng, but they hadnât received any response from him.
Lu Zheng casually replied with a "received," chatted a bit with everyone, and then put away his phone.
He messaged Lin Wan to find out she was shopping with Li Ying from the tech department, so Lu Zheng told her about the plan and mentioned heâd be home later.
"Okay, do you want to drive?"
"No need."
Lu Zheng hung up the phone, thought for a moment but felt lazy to go out, so he decisively took out his phone and started his journey of toying with elementary school kids...
Hey? No, wait, it seems like elementary school kids canât play now. No, itâs not just elementary kids, anyone underage canât play.
Tsk tsk, used to blame poor play on elementary kids, but now itâs still a bunch of noobs, how to shift the blame?
Admit it, elementary school kids play much better than you adults!
Lu Zheng, with the realm of a land Immortal, played against mortals in mobile games, achieving extraordinary results every time, receiving nearly a hundred friend requests, among which were some young girls with pretty avatars and charming voices.
Only...
Without seeing them in person, I donât believe you!
Lu Zheng ignored these requests and continued matching, wildly wreaking havoc.
...
After playing all afternoon, as it was almost dinner time, Lu Zheng finally got dressed and went out.
To avoid traffic jams, Lu Zheng didnât call a cab. Instead, he unlocked a shared bike and leisurely rode to the destination.
It was a seafood BBQ place at Kaili Square, considered mid-upper range, perfect for them to drink and chat.
He walked into the store, took a round.
"Streetlamp!"
A slightly high-haired, slim man waved to Lu Zheng.
Yes, Lu Zhengâs nickname in college was "Streetlamp."
Havenât been called that for a long time, and suddenly it felt nostalgic, like he became much younger in an instant.
"Yo? Zhao Si, youâre here first?"
Zhao Wei, nicknamed Zhao Si, because heâs the youngest, not for dancing.
"I just got here too. Old Tong and Leizi bumped into each other downstairs, didnât expect you to arrive first."
Sure enough, not long after Lu Zheng sat down, Tong Muxuan and Lei Zhiyun arrived.
They ordered food, poured drinks, and raised their glasses.
"Bang!"
"Hereâs to Old Tong stepping into the graves of marriage!"
"Get lost, all of you!"
"Hahaha!"
"Zhao Si when are you getting married?"
"My new girlfriend and I have only been together for six months, so itâs still early to talk about marriage."
"How can Leizi stand this? Among us four, heâs the only single dog."
"Leizi, who are you following now? The PhD program should be doing projects, right?"
"Yes, doing projects, but itâs confidential."
"Damn, impressive, how about you Lu Zheng? Howâs it going with Officer Lin?"
"Weâre dating, no rush for marriage."
"Nice, Officer Lin isnât rushing you?"
"No!"
"Sigh! Looks like my familyâs Meng Meng is the only one caring and responsible!"
"Get lost!"
"Hahaha!"
...
Frankly, just realizing my true self, then going back to the modern world to drink and chat with roommates, this kind of pressure-free relaxation made Lu Zheng feel very comfortable.
No life pressure, no living pressure, money on the account to spend endlessly, and a beautiful girlfriend, as an ordinary man with limited capabilities, what more could he pursue?
Everyone drank heartily, Lu Zheng raised his glass again, deciding to celebrate this wonderful life.
"Oh no!"
"Sorry, sorry! Excuse me, excuse me, I wasnât paying attention!"
Lu Zheng turned around and saw Lei Zhiyun apologizing to a girl.
And that girl, half of her dress was already soaked.
"Whatâs going on?"
Lei Zhiyun had just gone to the bathroom and seemed to have caused something on the way back, but Lu Zheng, with his back turned, didnât see what happened.
"Leizi wasnât watching where he was going and bumped into the girl." Zhao Wei narrated while standing up and walking over.
Lu Zheng and Tong Muxuan naturally followed.
"Leizi!"
"Eh?"
Seeing the three roommates walking over, Lei Zhiyun felt a bit awkward.
"Sorry! Sorry!" Lei Zhiyun could only keep apologizing.
"My friend was holding two glasses of red wine, where were your eyes?"
The one talking was the girlâs companion, a somewhat handsome girl about a seven in looks.
"Alright, Tongtong, donât say anymore, he didnât do it on purpose." That girl whose dress got half soaked stood up straight, while wiping her dress with a tissue, said.
Turning back, Lu Zheng and the others couldnât help but have their eyes light up.
Long black straight hair, natural makeup, fair skin with a graceful curve, truly a White Moonlight.
"Itâs no big deal." The girl smiled slightly at Lei Zhiyun.
"Luoluo, youâre too easygoing, your dress is twenty thousand! Red wine will leave marks on it, how will you wear it again?"
Lei Zhiyun shivered a bit, twenty thousand for a dress!?
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, then swept his gaze over the two girls.
The clothes looked ordinary but were all exquisite, and in unobtrusive places, there were a few familiar symbols, appearing to be luxury brands.
The short-haired girlâs clutch was from LV, and the long black straight-haired girlâs clutch, with Lu Zhengâs sharp eye, he only spotted a faint Gucci mark on the strap.
This girlâs family background is quite good.
"Itâs alright, just send it for after-sales." The long black straight-haired girl said.
Lei Zhiyun gritted his teeth, "Um, how much is the cost, Iâll pay."
"Really itâs not..."
The girl, seeing Lei Zhiyunâs serious expression, blushed a bit, then bit her lip and didnât continue.
Lei Zhiyun insisted, "Whatever your after-sales costs, Iâll transfer it to you."
"Then, how about adding each other as friends?"
"Sure!"
Then, Lei Zhiyun and the girl added each other as friends.
"Lei Zhiyun."
"Zhu Luoluo."
"How much is it?"
"I donât know yet, how about I tell you once itâs done?"
"Okay!" Lei Zhiyun grinned, "Donât worry, oh, arenât you afraid I might run off?"
Zhu Luoluo laughed slightly, "It doesnât matter if you donât pay up, I could have just misjudged you."
Lei Zhiyun spoke firmly, "Donât worry, Iâm not that kind of person."
"Alright, letâs chat later?"
"Okay, okay!"
Lei Zhiyun nodded repeatedly, then went back to the table with Lu Zheng and the others.
Zhao Wei, "..."
Tong Muxuan was speechless too, "Is Leizi on a Peach Blossoms streak?"
Lei Zhiyun was embarrassed, "Her dress alone is two hundred thousand, how could I possibly support that?"
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "Wouldnât soft rice taste sweet?"
Lei Zhiyun licked his lips, couldnât help but glance back, just in time to meet Zhu Luoluoâs eyes.
"Sweet!"
Lu Zheng couldnât help but shake his head and saw the short-haired girl teasingly say a few more words to Zhu Luoluo, causing Luoluoâs face to flush, and the two girls began to laugh and joke around.
"Nice, Peach Blossoms luck!"
"Impressive, impressive!"
"Clearly, sheâs interested in you."
"Catch it quick, whether you can avoid twenty years of struggle might depend on this."
Tong Muxuan and Zhao Wei couldnât help but tease Lei Zhiyun, because it was clear that Zhu Luoluo was interested in him.
From the girlâs behavior, it was obvious the short-haired one was teasing Zhu Luoluo, and she appeared a bit shy, which caused them to laugh and play around.
Only Lu Zhengâs ears twitched, his brows furrowed, and his eyes focused.
