In the center of Jianghai City, at night, the neon lights are shining brightly.
A tall building called the Shiri Hotel stands here, its height several heads higher than the surrounding buildings.
Against the backdrop of the night, it appears even taller than before.
To celebrate the end of the talent competition and to reward the players for their efforts.
Today, the evening party hosted by the organizer will begin here.
Now, there is still some time before the party starts.
Li Yang had nothing to do, so he found a pub nearby and sat down.
The layout inside is very exquisite, and the tables, chairs, walls and other facilities are all made of fine wood.
The air is filled with a fresh woody scent, which makes people feel relaxed and comfortable, as if paving away their fatigue.
It was a rare opportunity to enjoy such a relaxing time, so Li Yang also relaxed.
Now he would be at risk of being recognized wherever he went. Only in a place like this, under the warm lights, would everyone simply enjoy themselves and not pay attention to him.
When the meticulous waiter brings a carefully prepared drink.
Li Yang held the cup and shook it slightly, watching the water inside constantly turning upside down. With a calm expression and no emotion in his eyes, he was thinking in his heart.
My goodness, this is such a small drink, not even enough for a sip, and you want to charge me ten thousand?
Is this the top consumption in the city center?
Li Yang curled his lips.
If he hadn't just purchased a set of brilliant-level equipment, his body would have been almost completely sucked dry.
Otherwise, with his unyielding personality, he would have to drink it as iced tea.
If you have the guts, drink me till I go bankrupt!
Until now... forget it.
He might actually go bankrupt now.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"This drink is on me, can I sit next to you?"
Li Yang raised his eyebrows and looked to the side.
Zhao Linger snorted and smiled, then sat down.
"What's wrong? The number one genius in Jianghai City actually went to a place like this to drink alone. If anyone saw him, they would think he was lonely."
Li Yang's face turned dark.
You are still so good at talking.
"How did you find me?"
Hearing this, Zhao Linger raised the supernatural lock on her wrist.
"There will be induction between the power locks."
"All right."
Li Yang smiled.
"How about I go to the party with you later?" Zhao Linger smiled.
After hearing this, Li Yang looked at her strangely.
What's the point of going to a place like this? You just go there for formalities. It's hard not to make people suspect that the other party is trying to cause trouble.
Zhao Linger continued to speak.
"You forgot that Lu Xuan and the others said before that we are teammates now and will have to fight side by side in the future. The more we get to know each other, the better our cooperation will be and the greater our chances of winning."
Li Yang was speechless.
It seems like these are not the same thing, they are clearly two different things.
"It's not impossible. Since you helped me in Kuncheng before, I can take you in. But after you go in, don't say you know me."
To be on the safe side, Li Yang did this.
Zhao Linger's eyes widened: "Is it shameful to know me? You know, there are so many people who want to know me..."
"Don't give me that." Li Yang glanced at her, interrupted her, and interrogated her.
"Then tell me honestly, why do you want to attend this party?"
Zhao Linger paused, then spoke.
"This... is a long story."
She acted mysterious.
"Actually, I didn't come to Jianghai just for the college entrance examination. This is just a coincidence. I'm only telling you this, so don't spread it around."
"You speak first." Li Yang took a sip of his drink.
Zhao Linger took a deep breath, as if she was planning something.
"Today's party is also the time to update the newcomer rankings. If nothing unexpected happens, the awards ceremony should be held today, and the top ten people in the talent competition will be present at that time."
Listening, Li Yang looked at her in surprise.
It seems that Zhao Linger has just arrived in Jianghai? She knows so much, even he has never thought about it.
"Go on."
"Do you know a person named Xiao Yang?" Zhao Linger asked.
"Xiao Yang?" Li Yang's heart moved.
Of course he knew.
Moreover, there are some grudges.
Unexpectedly, I heard this name again, actually from Zhao Linger's mouth.
"Oh, he should be here today too. What do you want to see him about?"
Zhao Linger sighed, looking distressed.
"Oh, it's true. I came here without telling my family this time."
"oh?"
Li Yang looked at her with interest, as if he smelled the scent of melon.
There’s melon!
He grabbed a slice of watermelon from the fruit bowl next to him and put it in his mouth.
"You continue."
"This Xiao Yang, his grandfather and the old man in my family have some feelings. They were former comrades-in-arms. When we were young, they arranged a marriage for us. But I have never seen this Xiao Yang since I was a child. I only found out about this recently, so I want to cancel this marriage."
"666"
After knowing Zhao Linger's thoughts, Li Yang couldn't help but be amazed.
Absolutely.
This melon is too explosive.
The engagement has been cancelled, is this Xiao Yang going to become Xiao Yan?
Besides, Zhao Linger is a rare talent. Why did you bring up the idea of breaking off the engagement at any other time? Why did you bring it up at this time?
At this party, at this kind of occasion, with so many people, they were not given any face at all in public.
However, it’s none of his business anyway, so even if Zhao Linger exposes the truth, it has nothing to do with him.
But poor Xiao Yang, at this moment he probably doesn't know what he will face later.
A trace of pity flashed in Li Yang's eyes.
However, Xiao Yang was not familiar with him and they even had some grudge against each other. Of course he was happy to see the other party suffer a setback.
"No problem. Nowadays people value freedom of marriage. I support you." Li Yang smiled.
He was already looking forward to having fun at the party.
After Li Yang said this, Zhao Linger's emotions were also aroused.
She picked up the drink in front of her and drank it all, then slammed the cup back on the table, saying indignantly that it felt like she had drunk fake wine.
"Yeah, it's the right time now, and there's still this bullshit thing about child marriage. I was dumbfounded when I heard the news, so I came to Jianghai without stopping. What an idiot Xiao Yang, get out of here."
"I came here under the guise of taking the college entrance exam. My family doesn't know that I came here to break off the engagement. You're the only one who knows about this."
Li Yang's eyes widened.
"You're drinking mine!"
Ten thousand dollars! Gone in one bite?
I just eat some melon!
"Uh..." Zhao Linger scratched her head and smiled awkwardly.
"Well, it's all the same. I'll buy you another drink."
Li Yang rolled his eyes.
"Forget it, it's almost time to go in."
