Wan Xue on the side was not to be outdone and quickly stood up and hugged Long Yi tightly from the side. She was a little shy, but actually she still had a faint feeling for Long Yi in her heart.
Long Yi instantly became the focus of the entire coffee shop. This plainly dressed young man actually had two beautiful women throwing themselves into his arms.
"How am I any worse than this guy? He's dressed so simply and doesn't look like he's rich!"
"I'm so jealous! I was thinking of asking for her WeChat, but it turns out she's already taken."
"This guy must have saved the galaxy in his previous life. Why can't such a good thing happen to me?"
When Long Yi heard the men whispering in the coffee shop, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.
"Are you Long Yi?" Wang Chuqing looked Long Yi up and down with disdain, her tone full of sarcasm.
All of her clothes are top international luxury goods, including the latest Hermès handbag, classic LV trench coat, and even the black stockings on her legs are from Balenciaga that cost over 3,000 yuan. I'm afraid that's equivalent to this guy's monthly salary.
On the other hand, Long Yi was wearing a military green linen short-sleeved shirt and ordinary overalls. His feet were covered in muddy combat boots that he had found from somewhere.
If it weren't for Long Yi's temperament, Wang Chuqing would have really thought he was a farmer who came to the city to work.
"Boy, you're just a toad dreaming of eating swan meat. Do you know how many rich kids were pursuing Wan Shuang Wan Xue during college?
To be honest, I asked Wan Shuang and Wan Xue to come here to introduce you to someone. If you don't want to be compared to someone else, just withdraw and avoid embarrassment."
"Chu Qing?" Wan Xue glared at her, obviously blaming her for suddenly saying such excessive words out of the blue.
Long Yi was suddenly ridiculed by an unrelated girl, and his brows furrowed slightly, but for the sake of Wan Shuang Wan Xue, he just said coldly:
"Don't worry, Wan Shuang Wan Xue and I are just friends. We're having dinner together just to catch up on the past. It's not as complicated as you think."
Wan Shuang had not expected the situation to be so awkward. Her best friend from college had become so materialistic. Although she was unhappy about it, she did not show it because of their previous friendship.
"Brother Yi, Chu Qing didn't mean that. Don't take it to heart."
Long Yi's eyes were cold. If this wasn't what he meant, what else could it mean?
He wore this outfit only because he was in a hurry when he came back from Sheqi Mountains and had no time to change. He didn't expect that a girl he didn't know would ridicule him as soon as they met, and she almost carved the words "You are a poor bastard" on his forehead.
Wang Chuqing raised her chin provocatively. Her goal had been achieved, and she drank her coffee and read a fashion magazine.
Long Yi was too lazy to waste words with this gold-digger. He ordered a glass of iced American coffee and sat among Wan Shuang and Wan Xue to reminisce about the past.
In less than half an hour, a Porsche 911 roared to a stop at the door of the cafe, directly occupying the crosswalk.
A group of young men and women in gorgeous clothes appeared at the door of the cafe, waving and shouting towards the people inside.
Wang Chuqing looked up and jumped for joy. "Li Chao is here, and so many old classmates are here with him!"
She excitedly said to Wan Shuang Wan Xue, "Let's go and get ready to start tonight's nightlife!"
Long Yi followed Wang Chuqing out of the coffee shop and saw her beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings jumping directly into the arms of a young man.
Although the young man had good looks, his eye sockets were sunken and dark, and his steps were unsteady. At first glance, he looked like a playboy who frequented nightclubs for wine and women, and he didn't look like a soldier at all.
Wan Shuang and Wan Xue also began to reminisce with their old classmates. Those who were able to study abroad at that time were basically from prominent families, and now they are naturally doing well after returning to the capital.
These young men and women were dressed fashionably and had the unique temperament of the upper class. However, Long Yi was dressed simply and looked out of place among them.
"This guy wants to pursue Wan Shuang Wan Xue, and he has the audacity to follow me..." Wang Chuqing whispered a few words in Li Chao's ear, but most of them were exaggerated by her. Who made Long Yi so presumptuous?
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Chao's eyes. This time he asked Wang Chuqing to bring Wan Shuang and Wan Xue with him. More importantly, he wanted to tie a red string for his good brother. He didn't expect that a poor boy would suddenly appear halfway.
He calmly glanced at the man with a crew cut next to him. It was the brother he wanted to bring together this time, Lieutenant Colonel Chen Li of the Beijing Military Region.
Chen Li's status in the army and family background are both higher than Li Chao's, so helping him tie the red string naturally means currying favor with him.
Li Chao glanced at Long Yi, took the initiative to extend his hand and greeted:
"Li Chao, Chu Qing's fiancé, is a minor official in the Beijing Military Region. Brother, you dare to pursue our two former campus beauties. It seems you have quite a big appetite. I wonder where your family holds a high position?"
His tone was extremely sarcastic, and he was trying to make fun of Long Yi with all his words.
Long Yi stood with his hands behind his back, not even looking at Li Chao, let alone shaking hands. He squeezed out two words coldly:
"Long Yi."
"You...you are quite good at arguing with people!" Li Chao stood there in a daze. After looking around, he saw that everyone was trying to hold back their laughter. It was obvious that they had not expected that there would be someone in the youth circle of Beijing who would dare not give face to him, Major Li.
A murderous look flashed across his eyes, and he said with a forced smile, "Okay, the capital only has this little piece of land anyway, so we can have some fun later."
After saying that, he waved his hand and gathered everyone together to discuss the plan for the evening's carnival, deliberately leaving Long Yi aside.
Wan Shuang and Wan Xue naturally wouldn't let Long Yi be left out in the cold. Wan Xue apologized and said, "Brother Yi, it's all my fault for not being considerate enough to make you come here and suffer."
Long Yi comforted them, "It's okay, I don't take it to heart at all. I came here just to catch up with you, so why would I care about their rumors?"
Wan Shuang pursed her lips, put her arm around Long Yi's shoulders and said, "Brother Yi, you're not having fun playing anyway, why don't you go first? My sister and I will find an excuse to sneak out and have dinner with you."
Chen Li, who was standing aside, had been jealous of the two women who always protected Long Yi. Now that Wan Shuang had put her arm around Long Yi, the jealousy in his eyes grew even stronger.
Long Yi was a little worried. Although this group of people were dressed decently, they were obviously not good men and women. If he kept Wan Shuang and Wan Xue at the drinking party, some of them would inevitably have bad intentions.
"It's okay, I'll stay with you guys to avoid any accidents."
"It's rare for old classmates to meet up. Tonight, let's go to KTV and have a good time. After midnight, we'll go to Mingxuan Pavilion, the best restaurant in Beijing, for dinner. We can take advantage of Chu Qing's birthday to reminisce about the past.
Although there are outsiders who are trying to follow, for the sake of the two beauties Wan Shuang and Wan Xue, let him go." Li Chao said loudly.
