At that moment, the woman riding the motorcycle spoke as she removed her helmet. She was tall, over 1.75 meters, wearing leather boots, and her long legs were wrapped in fitted pants, straight and slender. On her upper body, she wore a hunting-style leather jacket. After taking off her helmet, she tossed her hair back, revealing an exceptionally beautiful face, although she was wearing black-framed glasses.
"I feel like I've seen her somewhere," Zhang Yang said to Hou Long.
"With a rich beauty like that, who wouldn't be interested?" Hou Long chuckled lightly. "You don't plan to use that line to hit on her, do you? Hey, I think I've seen her somewhere too."
Zhang Yang looked at Hou Long and gently shook his head. "I'm serious."
Just then, a handsome young man appeared behind the beauty and playfully slapped her shoulder. "Hey there, beautiful! You look great! Did you arrive before me?"
The beauty turned around and saw the handsome young man. She pointed a finger at his forehead and said, "You little brat!"
The two of them walked into the store together, and the handsome young man called out, "Boss, I reserved Room 4."
"Saved it for you; this way please," the boss welcomed them into the private room. Zhang Yang and Hou Long were seated not far from the door in the main hall, so they could see everything clearly. The two newcomers didn't pay attention to anyone else in the hall, including Zhang Yang and Hou Long.
Hou Long chuckled softly. "Looks like she's taken!"
Zhang Yang's expression was a bit strange. "I know that guy; he's from our school, three years ahead of me. His name is Zong Linghan. Have you heard of Century Group?"
"Century Group? Last name Zong? Is he a prince?" Hou Long exclaimed in surprise. "No wonder he can attract such high-caliber beauties!" The strength of Century Group was well-known; its chairman was named Zong Yaoshi. When Zhang Yang mentioned Century Group and that his last name was Zong, Hou Long immediately understood that this was the heir of Century Group.
"I don't think they look like a couple; who calls their boyfriend 'little brat'? It sounds more like something a mother would say," Zhang Yang remarked. Of course, Zhang Yang's judgment was also influenced by the fact that Zong Linghan was pursuing Chu Ruoxi and he felt that Zong Linghan didn't seem like a playboy.
Hou Long rolled his eyes at Zhang Yang. "These rich kids might actually like that kind of dynamic; maybe he's into older women? Zong Linghan has quite the character to choose such a mainstream restaurant to pick up girls."
Zhang Yang and Hou Long chatted about various topics while eating and drinking. By the end of their meal, only a large bone remained from the leg of lamb on the grill. They were slightly tipsy and feeling just right.
"You treat me to dinner; I'll take you to a bar," Hou Long stretched lazily while extending his leg out from the edge of the table.
"Oh no!"
His leg accidentally tripped someone passing by—it was the beauty! If it weren't for Zong Linghan's timely support, she would have likely fallen over.
"I'm sorry, excuse me, is everything alright?" Hou Long politely stood up to apologize.
The beautiful woman glanced at Hou Long and Zhang Yang, saying, "It's fine, just be more careful next time."
"Is there going to be a next time?" Zhang Yang, sitting nearby, chuckled. Upon hearing this, the woman shot him a fierce glare and turned to leave.
"Zhang Yu?" Zong Linghan, who had been watching Zhang Yang, finally spoke up after recalling his name.
Damn it, she recognized him but got the name wrong. Today is definitely not a day for the moon. "I'm Zhang Yang, right? Zong Linghan?" Zhang Yang slightly bowed and nodded. His calm demeanor resembled that of a lord hosting guests in his castle.
At this moment, the beautiful woman beside Zong Linghan turned her head back to scrutinize Zhang Yang for a moment before tugging at Zong Linghan's sleeve. "Oh right, Zhang Yang, we're leaving now," Zong Linghan replied and walked out with the woman.
"Your classmate? Quite the show-off," the woman whispered to Zong Linghan as they exited.
Zhang Yang noticed the two whispering at the door and perked up his ears. Suddenly, Hou Long exclaimed, "I remember where I've seen her! On TV!" After saying this, he scratched his head. "Which show was it?"
Zhang Yang smiled lightly. "It's possible; she might be a TV host." He then handed his phone to Hou Long. "Take a look; I just used an app to remove her black-framed glasses from her face. Can you tell where you've seen her?"
"Whoa, did you sleep with her?" Hou Long took the phone and examined it closely. "Still can't remember who she is; she's definitely not a TV host. I have a good memory of those hosts."
"These two are quite bored," two girls nearby murmured before calling out to the Boss, "Boss, check please!"
Hou Long awkwardly smiled and said to Zhang Yang, "Shall we go? Let me treat you to a drink at the bar?"
"Sure."
Taking a break, Zhang Yang first went undercover, then returned to Haizhou to help Liu Gang. After encountering Director Li and Qiang, this holiday had been quite troublesome. Upon returning, he faced issues with Mu Rujun. Having a nice dinner tonight and then heading to the bar felt like a good way to unwind.
The two arrived at a quiet bar in Shanzhou called "Quiet Thoughts." Although it's labeled as a quiet bar, it wasn't entirely so; there were performances on stage featuring soothing songs with breaks in between.
Once inside Quiet Thoughts and seated, they ordered two glasses of ice wine and some snacks while lighting a cigarette. Their mood indeed began to settle down. At that moment, a girl with flowing long hair stepped onto the stage, her gaze melancholic as her clear voice sang "When Love Has Become a Thing of the Past."
As the song came to an end, applause erupted. However, it was a duet, and singing alone felt somewhat lonely and desolate.
At that moment, a man and a woman walked to the edge of the stage, with the woman seemingly being pulled over by the man. Zhang Yang focused his gaze and realized it was Zong Linghan and that beautiful woman. Zong Linghan approached the stage manager and whispered a few words. The manager nodded, and then Zong Linghan took the beautiful woman onto the stage.
"When Love Has Become a Thing of the Past is truly a classic old song. Singing it alone cannot capture the essence of a duet. Today, we have two special guests who will perform it as a duet again. Let's give them a round of applause!" The manager briefly introduced them and gestured for Zong Linghan and the beautiful woman on stage to begin.
"Don't bring up the past anymore / Life has had its storms / Even if memories can't be erased / Love and hate still linger in my heart / I really need to let go of the past / So tomorrow can continue well / You shouldn't keep asking about my news / Love is a difficult problem / It leaves one dizzy / Perhaps forgetting the pain is possible / But forgetting you is too hard / You never truly left / You are always in my heart / I still have feelings for you / I feel powerless against myself..."
At first, the beautiful woman seemed a bit reserved, but Zong Linghan was very relaxed; he clearly enjoyed being in the spotlight. Gradually, she was drawn in, and despite wearing large black-framed glasses, her cool and mature demeanor captivated everyone. Their voices were both distinctive, delivering the song with poignant emotion, resulting in thunderous applause and whistles from the audience.
"Golden Boy and Jade Girl!"
"Do it again!"
Zong Linghan glanced at the beautiful woman, gave her a thumbs-up, and then jumped off the stage. "Thank you! I'll sing another song for everyone: Late to Meet." After warming up with one song, the beautiful woman seemed completely at ease; it appeared Zong Linghan wanted to give her an opportunity to perform solo.
"Golden Boy and Jade Girl. Hmm, this kid really lives up to being a prince; he knows how to charm women," Hou Long thought with a mix of envy and jealousy.
