“Eh? No, today is Saturday!”
Lu Zheng had just taken a step when he could not help but close his folding fan, pat his forehead, then turn back to the main bedroom in the courtyard, and travel to the modern era.
Just after traversing, he picked up his phone, and WeChat showed ninety-nine plus message notifications, all from the dorm group chat as expected.
Tong Muxuan, Zhao Wei, and Lei Zhiyun had already decided on the location for tonight’s hotpot, then crazily tagged Lu Zheng, but got no reply from him.
Lu Zheng casually replied that he had received it, chatted idly with them for a couple of sentences, then put away his phone.
He sent a message to Lin Wan, learned that she was shopping with Li Ying from the tech department, so he told her about it and said he would return home later.
“Alright, do you want to drive?”
“No need.”
Lu Zheng hung up the call, thought for a moment, then felt too lazy to go out, so he decisively took out his phone and began his journey of tormenting primary school kids…
Eh? No, it seemed that primary school kids could not be played with now, no, not just primary school kids, anyone underage could not be played with.
Tsk tsk, in the past when they played poorly, they would blame it on primary school kids, but now with matchmaking still full of noobs, how could they shift the blame?
Admit it, primary school kids play better than you adults!
With the realm of a land immortal, Lu Zheng played the mobile MOBA game against mortals, achieving double-digit transcendent records each time, and received nearly triple-digit friend requests, including some with attractive avatars and coquettish voices from fresh young girls.
But…
Without seeing the real person, who would believe you!
Lu Zheng ignored those requests entirely, just kept matching and wildly dominating.
…
After playing all afternoon, as dinner time approached, Lu Zheng finally dressed and went out.
To avoid traffic jams, Lu Zheng did not call a cab, but unlocked a shared bicycle and leisurely rode to the destination.
This was a seafood barbecue spot at Kerry Plaza, mid-to-upper class, perfect for them to drink and chat.
He walked into the shop and looked around.
“Road Lamp!”
A man with a slightly receding hairline but slim build waved at Lu Zheng.
Yes, Lu Zheng’s nickname in university was “Road Lamp”.
It had been a long time since anyone called him that, and hearing it suddenly felt quite亲切, as if he had instantly become much younger.
“Yo? Zhao Si, you arrived first?”
Zhao Wei, nicknamed Zhao Si, because he was the youngest, not because of dancing.
“I just got here too, Lao Tong and Lei Zi happened to meet downstairs, did not expect you to arrive first.”
Sure enough, not long after Lu Zheng sat down, Tong Muxuan and Lei Zhiyun arrived.
They ordered dishes, poured drinks, and raised their glasses.
“Clink!”
“Cheers to Lao Tong stepping into the grave of marriage!”
“Get lost, all of you!”
“Hahaha!”
“Zhao Si, when are you getting married?”
“My new girlfriend and I have only been dating for half a year, marriage talk is still early.”
“You are making Lei Zi feel bad, he is the only single dog among our four.”
“Lei Zi, who are you following now, you should be doing projects for your PhD.”
“Yes, doing a project, specifics are confidential.”
“Damn, impressive, what about Lu Zheng? How are things with Officer Lin?”
“We are dating, no rush to marry.”
“Cool, Officer Lin is not urging you?”
“No!”
“Sigh! So only my Mengmeng is both affectionate and responsible!”
“Get lost!”
“Hahaha!”
…
No kidding, after just realising his true heart, then returning to the modern era to drink and chat with dorm mates, this relaxed pleasure without any pressure made Lu Zheng feel very comfortable.
No survival pressure, no life pressure, endless money in the bank, and a beautiful girlfriend, as an ordinary person who was plain and limited in ability, what more could he pursue?
The group drank freely, Lu Zheng raised his glass again, deciding to celebrate this wonderful life.
“Ouch!”
“Sorry, sorry! My apologies, I did not notice!”
Lu Zheng turned back and saw Lei Zhiyun apologising to a girl.
And that girl had half her skirt soaked.
“What happened?”
Lei Zhiyun had just gone to the toilet, apparently something happened on the way back, but Lu Zheng had his back to them and did not see what had occurred.
“Lei Zi walks without looking and bumped into the girl.” Zhao Wei said it while getting up and walking over.
Lu Zheng and Tong Muxuan naturally followed.
“Lei Zi!”
“Huh?”
Seeing his three dorm mates all come over, Lei Zhiyun felt a bit awkward for a moment.
“Sorry! Sorry!” Lei Zhiyun could only keep apologising.
“My sister was holding two glasses of red wine, where are your eyes!”
The speaker was the girl’s companion, a woman with seventy percent looks but quite heroic features.
“Come on, Tongtong, stop it, he did not mean to.” The girl whose skirt was half-soaked wiped it with tissues while standing up and speaking.
Turning back, Lu Zheng and the others could not help but brighten up.
Black long straight hair, natural makeup, fair skin plus a curvaceous figure, what a fine white moonlight.
“It is fine.” The girl gave Lei Zhiyun a slight smile.
“Luo Luo, you are too easygoing, this skirt cost twenty thousand yuan, red wine stains will leave marks, how will you wear it later?”
Lei Zhiyun shivered, twenty thousand yuan!?
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, then swept his gaze over the two women.
Their clothes looked ordinary but were all exquisite, with familiar logos in inconspicuous places, seemingly all luxury items.
The short-haired woman’s handbag was LV, and for this black long straight girl’s handbag, with Lu Zheng’s sharp eyes, he only spotted faint Gucci traces on the strap.
This girl came from a good family.
“It is fine, just send it for after-sales service.” The black long straight girl said.
Lei Zhiyun gritted his teeth, “Um, how much is the cost, I will compensate.”
“Really no…”
Seeing Lei Zhiyun’s serious face, the girl blushed a bit, then pursed her lips but said nothing.
Lei Zhiyun continued, “How much does after-sales cost, I will transfer it to you.”
“Then, add each other as friends?”
“Sure!”
Then, Lei Zhiyun added the girl as a friend.
“Lei Zhiyun.”
“Zhu Luoluo.”
“How much is it?”
“I do not know yet, how about I tell you after I handle it?”
“Fine!” Lei Zhiyun grinned sheepishly, “You can rest assured, no worry I will run off.”
Zhu Luoluo smiled lightly, “If you do not pay, it is fine, just consider I misjudged the person.”
Lei Zhiyun said righteously, “Rest assured, I am not that kind of person.”
“Alright, talk later?”
“Yes, yes!”
Lei Zhiyun nodded repeatedly, then returned to the table with Lu Zheng and the other two.
Zhao Wei, “…”
Tong Muxuan was speechless too, “Lei Zi, did you just get lucky in love?”
Lei Zhiyun wiped sweat, “One skirt costs twenty thousand, how could I afford to keep her.”
Lu Zheng raised his brow, “Is soft rice not tasty?”
Lei Zhiyun licked his lips, could not help but glance back, just meeting Zhu Luoluo’s eyes.
“Tasty!”
Lu Zheng could not help but shake his head, then saw the short-haired woman teasing Zhu Luoluo with a quiet whisper, Zhu Luoluo blushed, and the two women giggled and played around again.
“Nice one, luck in love!”
“Impressive!”
“Clearly she fancies you.”
“Seize it, this could save you twenty years of struggle.”
Tong Muxuan and Zhao Wei could not help teasing Lei Zhiyun, because Zhu Luoluo clearly had interest in him.
The two women’s behaviour just now showed the short-haired one teasing Zhu Luoluo, who seemed shy, and then they started playing.
But Lu Zheng’s ear twitched, his brows furrowed, and his gaze sharpened.
