"Why don't you introduce him to us?" The woman, whose eyes never left Chen Xu, spoke first.
Luo Xiyun introduced Chen Xu first, "His name is Chen Xu, he is my friend."
Then, I introduced the three classmates to him, "This is Judy, Wen Xuyang, and Cui Yunfei. They were all my classmates when I was studying abroad."
Judy has a round face, but her hairstyle hides the shape of her face very well. She has two dimples when she smiles. "I guess we are not just ordinary friends?"
Luo Xiyun smiled, neither admitting nor denying.
"Why don't we order first?" Cui Yunfei, who had a flat head, suggested. He called the waiter over, took a few menus, and each person took one.
This is a high-end western restaurant with a menu full of western food. There is a piano in the middle of the restaurant, and a young girl in a black dress is sitting there playing a soft song. It sounds quite atmospheric.
After they ordered their meals, Judy was the first to speak, "Chen Xu, what do you do for a living?"
Chen Xu glanced at Luo Xiyun who was sitting next to him and said with a smile, "Xiyun and I are in the same company."
"Wow, office romance, so exciting."
Chen Xu calmly changed the subject, "You two are classmates, why don't you tell me about her college life?"
Judy recalled, "Back then, she was always alone. She never went to parties with foreign classmates, nor did she eat with us compatriots."
Chen Xu glanced at Xi Yun and said, "I can imagine it."
"At that time, there were still a lot of people chasing her, including those from abroad and domestic students. However, she never had a boyfriend. No matter who asked her out, she would cruelly reject them."
At this time, Cui Yunfei interrupted and said, "So, we are all very curious about what kind of man can conquer our beautiful Luo."
Chen Xu smiled and said, "Are you particularly disappointed when you see me?"
"To be honest, it is a little bit." Judy also laughed.
At this time, the waiter brought the dishes and everyone ate and chatted. Luo Xiyun changed the subject and talked about the recent situation of the three of them.
Judy was very talkative and spoke the most. Cui Yunfei would interject from time to time. Only Wen Xuyang hardly spoke. From the expression on his face, Chen Xu could guess that he was probably an admirer of Xiyun.
He pretended to be ignorant and sat aside listening to their conversation, occasionally replying with a few words.
Xiyun has very few friends. Before, he had never met any of her friends except Liu Yumeng. This was the first time he saw her having dinner and chatting with other friends. It was really novel.
He knew her well and could see that many of her words were rather polite, but that was different from her interactions at work.
During this time, Xiyun went to the bathroom.
Cui Yunfei suddenly asked Chen Xu, "Tell me the truth, how did you catch up with her?"
Judy next to him joked, "Why, you're still not convinced?"
"I want to know too." Wen Xuyang, who seldom spoke, said this suddenly. He had been drinking non-stop and looked a little drunk.
Chen Xu had almost finished eating. He was holding his red wine in his hand, shaking it gently, and said, "If I have to say it, I can only say it's fate."
If he hadn't obtained the virtual dream device, if he hadn't chosen her as the first person to be copied, none of this would be happening now.
After a while, Xiyun came back.
At this time, everyone finished eating, got up to pay the bill and left. Judy suggested going to sing karaoke, Xiyun hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. Only Wen Xuyang said he had something to do at home, so he took a taxi and left.
The four of them came to a nearby KTV and ordered a fruit plate and beer. Judy and Cui Yunfei went over to order songs, while Luo Xiyun picked up a slice of orange with a toothpick and was about to eat it.
She was stunned for a moment, noticed that the fruit plate was neatly arranged, realized something, and put the orange slice back.
"Is this your first time in a place like this?" He took out two cups, opened a bottle of beer, washed the cups with beer, filled them with beer, and handed over a cup.
"Yeah." She took the beer and said, "Actually, I've always wanted to come and see it, but I haven't had much chance."
Chen Xu clinked glasses with her, and they both drank the wine together.
At this time, Judy called them over, "Don't drink yet, come and order some songs. I have never heard Xiyun sing before."
"Let's go." Chen Xu took her hand, walked over and asked her what she wanted to sing.
She thought for a moment and said, "Later."
Chen Xu ordered for her.
The prelude of the music started, and Judy picked up the microphone. Looking at her posture, she looked like a microphone bully.
"Let's play dice." Cui Yunfei suggested.
Luo Xiyun had never played the game before, so she asked Chen Xu how to play. The music was very loud, and Chen Xu leaned close to her ear to teach her. He then took a dice cup and played a few rounds with Cui Yunfei as a demonstration.
She soon joined in. It was her first time playing this kind of game and she had a lot of fun.
After a while, Judy finished singing a song and the three of them applauded together.
"It's your turn." She put the microphone into Luo Xiyun's hand.
Chen Xu could see that she was a little nervous and couldn't help but smile. In reality, he had never taken her to KTV, mainly because he was busy and she couldn't spare the time.
This is the first time, and it is quite memorable.
After a familiar prelude, Luo Xiyun began to sing, "Later..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, both Judy and the other were stunned. After she sang a few lines, her expression became a little strange.
Chen Xu was also amused. Xiyun also had something she was not good at. She sang a little out of tune, but she herself didn't know it. Of course, there were probably not many people who had the honor of hearing her sing.
Every time he heard her singing, he would secretly laugh and never remind her. Otherwise, he would probably never have the chance to hear her singing again.
After finally finishing the song, the atmosphere became a little awkward, and she said a little embarrassedly, "I didn't sing well..."
"No, it's a good one," said Judy, leading the applause.
"Yes, it's sung very well." Cui Yunfei agreed.
Chen Xu also said, "It's really good."
She was not stupid. She could tell something from the reactions of the three of them. She refused to sing anymore and just kept playing dice.
Not long after, she fell asleep leaning on the sofa, having drunk too much.
Chen Xu pushed her twice, but when she didn't respond, he said to Judy and the others, "I'll take her back first."
Judy said, "Okay, be careful on the road, and send me a WeChat message when you get to the hotel."
