As it was time to leave work today, Cheng Qicai waited with great anticipation.

Although I look forward to getting off work every day, today is different because she's going out to play.

Ren Baiping had invited her beforehand to go to Xia Zhaoshan to see the night view, where you could see the entire city at night.

However, Ren Baiping was busy for the past week or two, and unfortunately, he also had things to do this Saturday and Sunday, so they had to say they would go together today.

Tomorrow is Saturday. I'll be back from my night hike tonight, so I can take a nap until noon.

To be honest, ever since graduation...

It should be said that after Yun Su Ni and Lu Qi's relationship stabilized and Gu Li Ji broke his leg, she rarely went out to play after get off work, let alone participate in outdoor activities. Every day, she went to work and went home in a straight line.

People become numb; only when they occasionally go out and have fun do they feel alive again.

Since meeting Ren Baiping, they have found they share similar interests and haven't had any bad experiences at the places they've visited.

This may be related to Ren Baiping's fondness for making travel guides.

Putting everything else aside, Ren Baiping is a good friend and a great partner.

The main reason is that Cheng Qicai doesn't have any other good friends to go out with. Currently, he is the only friend with similar spending habits and personalities to Cheng Qicai.

When it was time to leave work, Cheng Qicai went downstairs and saw Ren Baiping waiting in the lobby.

She walked quickly over and greeted him.

Cheng Qicai asked excitedly, "Shall we go eat first, and then go over there?"

"Hmm, it's still early. I'm meeting my friend at 7:30, an hour later, that'll be just enough time to have lunch," Ren Baiping said, glancing at the time.

“Okay, let’s go eat stir-fried dishes to save time, how about that?” Cheng Qicai planned the time.

Ren Baiping nodded. "Mm."

Just as I was about to step out of the company gate, Lin Fengjie's voice rang out behind me: "Seven Colors!"

Cheng Qicai turned around and saw Lin Fengjie and Gu Rongqi walking out together.

Cheng Qicai called out, "President Gu, Brother Lin!"

Lin Fengjie glanced at Ren Baiping next to Cheng Qicai and asked her with a smile, "Your friend? Where are you going?"

"Let's go eat," Cheng Qicai replied, then asked, "Are you coming?"

"I won't go, my girlfriend is waiting for me at home!" Lin Fengjie smiled happily.

"Alright then." Cheng Qicai's gaze shifted to Gu Rongqi. "Mr. Gu, are you going?"

"Is this convenient? Will it disturb you?" Gu Rongqi asked her, but his gaze was fixed on Ren Bai.

Cheng Qicai looked at Ren Baiping.

Ren Baiping said, "Of course it's convenient, we're all friends."

Gu Rong nodded and said calmly, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

The group parted ways with Lin Fengjie at the main gate. Cheng Qicai remarked that Lin Fengjie's relationship had improved since he and his girlfriend met each other's parents.

Sometimes, we'd chat on the phone for a long time, even in the middle of the day.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Cheng Qicai first handed the menu to Gu Rongqi.

"You guys order first, there's no need to be so formal." Gu Rongqi didn't take the menu.

Cheng Qicai understood what he meant, and she handed the menu to Ren Baiping.

Ren Baiping also told her to order first.

Seeing that the two of them were both trying to refuse, Cheng Qicai had no choice but to take on the important task of ordering. She looked at the menu and asked, "How about shredded pork with garlic sauce?"

"Yes," Ren Baiping and Gu Rongqi nodded simultaneously.

Stir-fried cabbage?

Kung Pao Chicken?

"Tiger-skin green peppers?"

Seeing that they all seemed to agree with whatever she said, Cheng Qicai finally said, "How about adding another soup, cucumber and preserved egg soup? Are we done with the dishes?"

Gu Rongqi said, "That's fine."

Ren Baiping joked, "That's enough. If you eat too much later, climbing Xia Zhaoshan will be too tiring."

“You need to be full to have the strength to climb, right?” Cheng Qicai replied.

Gu Rongqi frowned slightly and interjected, "It's so late, are you going hiking?"

Ren Baiping said, "That's right, the night view of Xia Zhaoshan is really beautiful. It's become a popular spot for online influencers, and it's always crowded. So there's no need to worry about anything happening on the mountain when it gets dark."

"Really?" Gu Rongqi smiled. "Would you mind if I joined you?"

Ren Baiping and Cheng Qicai remained silent for a moment, exchanging glances.

Cheng Qicai thought that since this round was organized by Ren Baiping, it was his turn to speak.

Ren Baiping thought that this was Cheng Qicai's friend, and it wouldn't be good for him to say whether he agreed or not.

But in Gu Rongqi's eyes, it was just a tacit understanding between the two in private.

The water glass was placed on the table, making a soft clinking sound.

Ren Baiping and Cheng Qicai snapped out of their daze at the same time. Ren Baiping said, "Of course I don't mind."

The dishes were served, and the group began to eat.

She said she agreed to let Gu Rongqi join, but Cheng Qicai looked at his sharp suit and said, "Your outfit might not be suitable for mountain climbing."

Gu Rongqi also looked down at his suit. It was indeed as Cheng Qicai said, unsuitable. Gu Liji had a few of his own clothes in his office, but they were all suits.

Cheng Qicai suggested, "How about we go to the nearby shopping malls and buy an outfit later?"

Gu Rong nodded. "Okay."

After finishing their meal, the group went to a nearby shopping mall and entered a high-end men's clothing store.

Upon seeing Gu Rongqi dressed in expensive clothes, the sales assistant immediately greeted him warmly, "Sir, what kind of product do you need?"

"Just find me a casual outfit," Gu Rongqi said.

The sales assistant led him to a display stand, "These are our latest and most popular designs this year..."
