Chapter 147: Pickup

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

No Man’s Land didn’t accept reservations, so good spots had to be snatched in advance.

The booth facing the stage was naturally the best spot to watch from. Moreover, it was comfortable. However, the manager led them around this booth and went straight to the seat beside it.

Zhang Zhang was puzzled and asked loudly, “Why can’t we sit in this booth facing the stage? Don’t you guys refuse to accept advance reservations?”

The surroundings were a little noisy, and the music was very loud. There were not many people, but the atmosphere was very lively. The manager replied loudly with some embarrassment, “I’m sorry, Zhang Zhang. That person spent ten times the amount to reserve a seat. Even if we don’t accept reservations, we can’t turn down money, right?”

Zhang Zhang pouted and complained, “What an evil capitalist!”

Shi Lu didn’t want to disappoint the two girls, so he patted Zhang Zhang’s shoulder and said confidently, “It’s okay. I’m also a capitalist!”

Shi Lu walked forward and said to the manager in a loud voice, “We can double their number. Give us this seat and leave the seat beside it to them.”

The manager was clearly tempted, but he was still in a dilemma. “But… this… they’ve already paid the deposit. Why don’t I call and ask? If they’ve already arrived, it’s theirs. If they still need a long time, they should give up this position!”

Shi Lu raised his hand and gestured for the manager to make a call now.

The manager made a call and hung up within a few minutes. It was obvious that the manager’s expression was getting more and more awkward. He could only look at Zhang Zhang as he said in a troubled manner, “The other party isn’t short of money and is willing to spend more. Look…”

Zhang Zhang and the manager were friends, so she couldn’t make things difficult for him here and could only persuade Shi Lu.

Shi Lu was usually more laid back, but at this moment, it was obvious that his desire to win had been piqued. How could he let it go so easily?

Shi Lu was about to continue raising the price when Yuan Shu stopped him and shook her head, indicating that it was fine.

Shi Lu wanted to say something, but Yuan Shu had already spoken, so he could only obey and sit down beside Yuan Shu.

Zhang Zhang loved the taste of citrus and coconut juice the most, so among the many cocktails, her favorite was the coconut forest flavor cocktail. Shi Lu ordered whiskey sour, the same as before.

After that, the two of them discussed for a long time and ordered a special beverage, Sky City, for Yuan Shu.

At the airport on the other side, the plane had just landed.

Zhao Mian, Li Ci, and the rest were waiting at the arrival gate. When they saw Shi Xiao and the others coming out of the arrival gate, they immediately went up to them.

When Zhao Mian saw her younger brother, Zhao Cheng, who had been missing for more than two months, her eyes welled up with tears and she couldn’t help but cry.

Zhao Cheng didn’t know how to comfort people, so he could only pat Zhao Mian’s shoulder with his thick hand. “It’s fine, Sister. I’m back now. Don’t worry.”

It would have been better if Zhao Cheng didn’t comfort her, but once he comforted her, even more tears flowed down Zhao Mian’s face. Zhao Cheng panicked and hurriedly searched for tissues, but then Zhao Mian smiled and wiped her tears. “Alright, stop looking. I’m fine.”

Li Ci also walked up and looked at Shi Xiao, who looked a little haggard. In just two months, he had become much tanner and had lost a lot of weight. His handsome face had become even more chiseled.

When Li Ci looked at him, he only thought of the words “having survived a calamity”. Previously, when he received news about him, he felt shocked, but it seemed very far removed from his daily life. Now that he saw him in person, he really realized that this person had almost disappeared from the world forever, and he would never be able to see him again.

Li Ci was in awe of how unpredictable life was, but in the end, he only said aloofly, “Long time no see.”

Shi Xiao’s attitude was much colder. “Long time no see.”

In the two months that he wasn’t around, Li Ci definitely didn’t cooperate with the Shi family and might have done something behind his back. Shi Xiao knew Li Ci too well, so it was impossible for him to act like they were happy to be reunited..
