"Ding!" ng Lang received a ssage from Lu Kexin.
Ke Xin: "Got ho, used ice on my foot, can't cook, had to order takeout (crying)"
ng said, "Oh, what did you eat?"
Ke Xin: "Salad."
ng said, "What kind of salad?"
Ke Xin: "Fruit salad."
ng said, "All fruit?"
Ke Xin: "...and so salad."
Beneath was attached a photo of a "vegetable salad"—yeah, high definition.
ng said, "Oh! You're injured, you should eat more at."
Ke Xin: "Mmm."
ng said, "What at do you like?"
Ke Xin: "..."
After exhausting the conversation, ng Lang frowned and put away his phone.
In just two days, two won had added ng Lang on ssaging.
The first "scan " had already been proven to be a complete trap.
The second ti?
When hormones receded and his brain cooled down, ng Lang felt more and more that today's event was unusual.
It wasn't that Lu Kexin's behavior was abnormal.
Mainly... it had been two decades and this was the first ti a girl—especially a beauty like Lu Kexin—had taken the initiative to add him, which was very unusual!
ng Lang had so self-awareness about himself.
Looks, definitely not ugly, but not the type who gets approached by beauties on the street asking for contact info, let alone Duan Xian's level where beauties approach him at ho.
Rich, well... he had just beco rich, but his "on-paper wealth" hadn't yet converted into houses, cars, luxury brands, watches, etc., to spruce himself up, giving him no charm bonus.
An ordinary-looking worker, just by having bumped into soone, could attract a beauty's secret affection?
This kind of blood-pumping plot from Japanese and Korean dramas isn't impossible.
But the probability...
Thinking about it, ng Lang had unknowingly arrived at his rented flat.
Just about to use his key, he noticed sothing amiss.
He carefully looked at the gap under the door where he had placed a strip of see-through plastic before leaving, and confird it was gone.
ng Lang entered his flat without making a sound, then closed the door.
Soon, he found a hard-to-spot, clear plastic strip by his feet.
Scanning the room, the small rented space revealed no anomalies, but he still checked every corner to assure no one was inside before unlocking his phone.
A mont later, ng Lang's lips curled into a cold smile...
...
March 26, sunny.
"Ding!"
Ke Xin: "My bestie invited to a bar tonight. I've never been there and I'm worried, but I can't refuse. Can you co with ? (sad)"
ng Lang looked at the ssage, deep in thought.
So, this is the reason for going out tonight?
ng Lang felt it, the wheels of fate were rolling forward...
ng said, "Sure, ti and place?"
Ke Xin: "7 PM, Gravity Bar."
ng Lang paused, Gravity? That na seed familiar.
ng said, "No problem, it's a date!"
Putting down his phone, he took a deep breath.
The night of fate, huh...
...
6:30 PM.
"Click!" "Click!"
As ng Lang stepped out, he saw Lin Haitang, also ready to go out, wearing a long trench coat.
"Uh... Lawyer Lin, you're going out too?"
"Yes!" Lin Haitang glanced at ng Lang, rely nodded briefly, just about to leave when ng Lang spoke again.
"Lawyer Lin, you might want to take an umbrella, looks like it might rain tonight."
Lin Haitang looked doubtfully at the umbrella in ng Lang's hand and then at the sky, seeing no clouds.
She rolled her eyes, "Thanks, but I don't need it."
Then she quickly walked downstairs.
ng Lang watched her back, puzzled.
Speaking of... this guy often leaves at this ti, and returns very late... really just working overti?
Why does it seem like a successful lawyer like her seems to lack money?
...
6:55 PM, ng Lang arrived five minutes early at the entrance of Gravity Bar.
The place was bustling with trendy, well-dressed, young n and won. Dressed in sportswear and holding an umbrella, ng Lang looked sowhat out of place.
"Brother ng!" Lu Kexin's voice ca from behind.
ng Lang turned around and saw Lu Kexin with wavy hair, wearing a T-shirt, short jacket, and a black silk miniskirt.
Obviously, Lu Kexin had dressed up carefully tonight, innocent yet alluring, her figure swaying attractively.
If it had been the inexperienced ng Lang of the past, he might have truly been distracted.
However, ng Lang's gaze at this mont was only filled with calm appreciation.
On this night of fate's judgnt, his heart was like a fierce tiger, rely lightly sniffing the roses.
"Brother ng, let introduce you. This is my bestie, Xiao Ai. Xiao Ai, this is Brother ng," Lu Kexin said.
Xiao Ai, standing next to Lu Kexin, was a woman in her mid-twenties, rather plain, with heavy makeup, which only highlighted the pure charm of Lu Kexin beside her.
"So this is the good-hearted 'Brother ng' you've ntioned who acts bravely for a just cause? He's quite the handso guy. Kexin, you've got good taste," Xiao Ai said as she looked ng Lang up and down, a teasing smile appearing on her face.
"What are you saying, Xiao Ai!" Lu Kexin playfully scolded her.
"Don't mind her, Brother ng. Xiao Ai just likes to joke around," Lu Kexin added.
"No worries, then let's go inside. Honestly, it's my first ti here too," ng Lang said with a smile.
Lu Kexin gave ng Lang a doubtful look. Why was his reaction a bit off?
Under such teasing circumstances, an honest person would either shyly avoid it or secretly delight in it. Why was he so indifferent?
Could it be that he was too nervous to react?
"Let's wait a bit longer; my boyfriend should be arriving soon," Xiao Ai said.
No sooner had Xiao Ai spoken than her phone rang.
"Hello! What? Ah Hui had a car accident? Where is it, how serious is it? People's Hospital? Okay! I'll be right there!" she said hurriedly.
After quickly hanging up, Xiao Ai looked very anxious.
"Sorry, it seems my boyfriend had an accident on the way here; I need to rush over," Xiao Ai explained.
"Ah? Is it serious? Shall I go with you?" Lu Kexin asked, showing concern.
"No need, I heard it's just a minor injury, I'll just go by myself! You two go have fun," Xiao Ai said.
Then Xiao Ai turned to ng Lang, "Then I'll leave our Kexin in your care. Make sure you take responsibility for her safety and see her ho, okay?"
ng Lang looked at Xiao Ai, then at Lu Kexin, and suddenly laughed.
"Don't worry, leave it to !" he said.
If it were normal tis, even if ng Lang saw this as a "deliberate coincidence," he might have blissfully ignored it, tempted by beauty.
But now...
With a shy-looking Lu Kexin, ng Lang entered the bar and found a secluded booth by the window.
This booth was cleverly designed, ensuring privacy while allowing a view of the wildly dancing crowd, creating a lively atmosphere.
Groups of n and won, under flickering lights and heavy tal rock music, were freely expressing their youth and hormones.
"What would you like to order?" The waiter approached and handed over a drinks nu.
"It's my first ti here, Brother ng, you can choose. But I'm not good with alcohol, maybe just a juice," Lu Kexin said timidly.
"Then two orange juices, please!"
Lu Kexin: "..."
The waiter looked at them strangely, then nodded with a smile. "Okay, please wait a mont."
"Brother ng, you don't drink?" Lu Kexin hesitated before asking.
"Yeah! I've heard drinking in bars can be risky, and when you're out, it's best to protect yourself," he replied.
"Uh..."
"Dum~dum-dum~"
Just then, the music suddenly stopped, and an electric guitar prelude blasted from the stage, gradually quieting the room.
The next mont, lights flared up, illuminating a slender figure on the stage.
A leather jacket and miniskirt revealed a slim waist, an electric guitar slung across her body.
"Hum~~" After a long tone from the electric guitar, the music exploded.
"I don't know if you rember yesterday
You are the one I miss the most in my life
To this day, you are no longer by my side
Your smile lingers in my heart
I don't know if you're lonely now
In the future, you have your own path to take
I finally understand you no longer make promises
This life is ultimately a bit absurd
All eternity has been frozen
I can't sever my attachnt to you
I still rember that day, you said your love for would never change..."
A soft rock song was sung in a slightly husky voice as couples in the dance floor started moving again.
ng Lang was quite astonished as he watched the woman passionately singing on stage.
Lin Haitang!
"Whoosh~" Suddenly, a torrential rain began outside.
Pieces of Lin Haitang's stories—Miserable Life, My Struggle, Late Justice, Living...multiple destinies seed to converge at this mont...
[That person arrived as expected, like an angel, illuminating the lows of my life.
Love ca as suddenly as a storm, the second day we t, it started pouring outside...]
He looked at Lu Kexin, his expression complex.
"If you don't mind asking, what... what blood type are you?"
