Chapter 77: Chapter 76: Too Shallow Eyelids Chapter 77: Chapter 76: Too Shallow Eyelids “Brother Kai, Brother Kai! I’ve finished ordering,” Zhang Xinrui called to him softly twice. “Oh, okay,” Lv Kai’s face was extremely stiff. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling like he’d eaten a whole lemon raw, too sour. After handing the menu to the waiter, Zhang Xinrui turned to look in Tang Song’s direction, seemingly curious about what his date looked like. Then she was a bit stunned and said unnaturally, “That girl is so beautiful, and they seem well-matched.” “Yeah,” Lv Kai nodded vigorously. “Tang Song really plays his cards close to his chest, getting such an impressive girlfriend without making a sound.” Lv Kai felt his face warm up when he remembered how he had bragged about Zhang Xinrui just moments before. At university, their college already had way more men than women, and any girl with a bit of looks was considered a beauty. Zhang Xinrui of the Electronic Information Engineering major was relatively outstanding among them. But she couldn’t really compare with that cool, pale-skinned girl. However, Lv Kai was self-aware; such a girl was out of his league, at most he could feel a bit envious. Compared to that, the girl before him, whom he’d had a crush on during his university days, seemed more real. Just then, the waiter brought their meal over. Lv Kai picked up a few slices of beef and placed them on the grill, calling out warmly, “Come on, let’s eat! I’ll do the grilling; you just enjoy.” “I think grilling is fun, too. Let’s do it together.” Zhang Xinrui smiled and took the tongs to start grilling. ... “Don’t move, I have to take a picture!” Tian Jing took out her phone with a serious expression, “Yes, stretch out both hands, make it look natural, and relax your fingers.” “Click—” “Click—” “The three major lines are present in everyone’s palm, but yours are really special...” “And then there are these disorderly and twisted minor lines, which have certain pathological significance, hinting at some of your health issues, like this ‘rice’ pattern...” “Jing, you know so much! Let me see your palmistry, compare it a bit.” “Sure!” Tang Song took advantage of the moment to grab her hand, tracing the lines of her skin, gliding across her palm, and squeezing her soft slender fingers. The feel was truly nice and carried a unique scent that made one want to take a bite. Tian Jing’s body shook, and a flush of excitement spread across her face. To be firmly grasped by the Attractive Man’s hand was quite thrilling! One after another, dishes were served on the shelf next to the dining table. Before they knew it, it was past 7:30 in the evening, the sun had completely sunk beneath the horizon, and the sky had darkened. The aroma of barbecue spread throughout the entire terrace. The two “guilty-conscienced” man and woman finally stopped analyzing palm lines. Tian Jing carefully put a wristwatch on him and took several photos before contentedly returning to her seat. The two chatted idly while grilling. Having had her fill of touching and taking pictures, Tian Jing was in high spirits. She offered to help him find a job, promising a salary that wouldn’t be inferior to Jinxiu Commerce’s. As a second-generation rich kid, she had plenty of friends working in family businesses within her circle. Solving his employment problem was not an issue. Upon hearing his plan to start his own business, Tian Jing lifted her drink for a toast, encouraging him, “I wish you success soon! Go for it!” “Thank you!” “This cheese baked sweet potato is amazing, the salty fragrance of the cheese perfectly complements the natural sweetness of the sweet potato.” “The beef short rib here is very fresh, and it doesn’t need to be grilled for too long. Just like this, it’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fresh and tender texture. Give it a try.” ... Throughout the meal, Tang Song was very gentlemanly and considerate, taking the initiative to grill the food and pour drinks. Thanks to doing his homework in advance, he was also very familiar with the signature dishes here. The bright moon gradually illuminated the starry sky, making the night even more enchanting. Tian Jing’s smile never faded. The two of them unconsciously grew much closer and became true friends. On the stage at the edge of the rooftop, several people appeared at some point. The surrounding diners immediately began to discuss excitedly. “The music performance is about to start! It looks like it’s the resident singer from the bar downstairs!” “Live singing and playing, I like it!” “Quick, quick, quick, turn on your phones to take photos and record videos, I want to post this on social media later.” ... On stage, the handsome restaurant manager, holding a microphone, announced loudly, “Good evening, everyone. Thank you for visiting New Alley! Tonight’s performance is by our old friend Carl, a free-spirited Sagittarius who is good at blues, pop, and folk. Our TikTok live stream is also broadcasting the stage performance simultaneously. Welcome everyone to the live room to request songs! Come on!” With his passionate opening, the sound of music instantly filled the air. A singer dressed in a leather jacket and jeans walked onto the stage, holding a guitar in his hand. Curious, Tian Jing looked toward the stage and said with a smile, “The catering industry is getting more competitive these days. It’s really hard to stand out without something special. Even an open-air barbecue restaurant has found a resident singer. But it’s also nice – you can listen to music while eating.” “Indeed competitive,” Tang Song nodded, but his gaze turned to the leather-clad man’s guitar, and he felt a longing to play. After coming out of the dream instance, he still retained all experiences, insights, and skills related to the guitar – he was a true guitar prodigy. At this moment, looking at the guitar not far away, he felt tempted. Carl, the singer who had finished setting up the equipment on stage, gently strummed the strings, and the “ding ding dong dong” of the guitar spread through the sound system. He bowed his head slightly, and in a deep voice said, “Here’s ‘You Are the April of this world’ for everyone. I hope that in this April, everyone can gather with the people they love.” No sooner had he finished speaking than the gentle and melodious intro began to play. 「BGM: Braving mountains and seas to embrace you, all the storms we face together, Hearing the most beautiful memories about you, every single piece of news.」 ... The melody of this song was light and smooth, the lyrics beautiful and simple, making it highly singable and catchy. Below the stage, many customers raised their phones, and some hummed along softly. Tian Jing also took a few photos with a smile, commenting, “It sounds good, and the guitar is played very well too.” After saying this, she also sang along with the music a few sentences. Her voice was fresh and sweet, very pleasing to the ear. Tang Song placed a piece of meat into her plate and asked, “You also sing very well. You must really like music, don’t you?” “Yeah, our department often goes to karaoke for team building. Your department’s Du Shaokai occasionally joins us too. To be honest, he has quite the thick skin – he uses our department’s team building funds, haha.” Tang Song nodded lightly, a thought suddenly forming in his mind. The mission [First Date Experience] clearly stated that the higher the satisfaction peak of the date object during the date, the richer the reward package would be. In a date, the satisfaction level of the object is actually about the level of surprise from the other party. Right now, his looks, wealth, and substance were not particularly outstanding in front of Tian Jing. The only thing that could be considered exceptional was the guitar playing skill and talent he brought back from the dream. With this in mind, Tang Song’s gaze toward Jing became fervent. Beautiful and rich friend, your experience is still too shallow, you haven’t seen a real guitar master yet!
