Chapter 2074 - 680: Night in Rong City (Part 4)
As she spoke, she walked towards the workspace on the balcony.
Before leaving, she threw a meaningful glance at her best friend.
In the living room, only Tang Song and Xie Shuyu remained.
The atmosphere became somewhat delicate.
"Shall we... go out for a walk?" Xie Shuyu’s voice carried a bit of nervousness.
"Where to?"
"Taikoo Li is nearby, the night scenery is quite nice. I’ve been busy these days and haven’t had the chance to stroll around, and I also want to buy some clothes."
"Let’s go."
Tang Song stood up and extended his hand to her.
Xie Shuyu was silent for a moment, but finally placed her hand in his broad, warm palm.
She put on her cashmere coat and changed into high heels.
The two took the elevator down.
...
The air in Rong City on a winter night was crisp and cool.
The streets of Taikoo Li were bustling with people, a mix of fashion and leisure coexisting.
Exuding the unique charm of this city.
Tang Song held the female CEO’s hand, walking side by side on the street.
Attracting countless glances.
Perhaps due to the influence of alcohol, Xie Shuyu gradually loosened up.
She let go of the CEO’s reserve and returned to a comfortably friendly interaction.
Instead of discussing work, she enthusiastically introduced the local culture and customs of Rong City.
"This Acne Studios sweater suits you well, want to try it on?"
"I remember you seem to really like woody scents, this new Le Labo fragrance..."
The two of them wandered through stores full of design sense.
Tang Song played the perfect boyfriend role, helping her pick out clothes and test perfumes.
At the entrance of a men’s boutique, Xie Shuyu suddenly asked, "Song, is there anything you want? I’ll get it for you."
Tang Song’s lips curved into a smile, he stopped walking and leaned into her ear.
Whispering in a voice only the two of them could hear: "I want you."
Xie Shuyu’s body stiffened, and her fair ear tips visibly reddened.
...
Leaving the bustling Taikoo Li, they unknowingly walked into a quiet old street.
The wind blew, and the female CEO instinctively tightened her camel coat.
The rich scent, a mix of cold perfume and feminine fragrance, spread out.
Sensual and alluring.
Tang Song suddenly grabbed her hand, pulling her behind a plane tree amidst her surprised, low gasp.
"What are you doing!" Xie Shuyu’s face was filled with awkward fluster.
Tang Song didn’t answer, he merely raised a finger and made a "hush" gesture.
Then, with an irresistible gesture, he slipped his hand inside her warm coat, holding her slender waist.
Gazing at the dignified face of the female CEO, feeling her delicate skin.
He lowered his head and kissed her deeply.
Tasting her sweetness.
"Mmm—"
Xie Shuyu’s eyes widened instantly,
people were still passing by on the roadside, some noticed the commotion here.
But all of Xie Shuyu’s reserve and rationality melted into a pool of spring water under his aggressive actions.
...
...
A moment later, the two parted.
Xie Shuyu’s clothes were a bit disheveled, her face flushed with a slight inebriation.
"Not again."
She threw this line, lowered her head, put her hands in her pockets, and quickly turned and walked away.
Tang Song chuckled, chasing after her.
Unable to resist reminiscing about the feeling just now.
Though the female CEO was quite slim, she was quite endowed.
A standard C cup.
Of course, the most satisfying thing was the feeling of her dignified reserve being wantonly destroyed, and the accompanying sense of accomplishment.
As they walked through the old street, a small square came into view.
Soon, a somewhat raspy guitar singing voice came from not far away.
「♪BGM: Far away from here, there’s a beach, a lonely man is on the sea, hoisting a sail...」
It was Song Dongye’s "Lillian."
The song spread through the speakers, clean and warm.
Through the gaps, you could see a handsome guy in a hoodie, holding an acoustic guitar, sitting on a bench singing.
In front of him lay a phone and a microphone, clearly live streaming.
Surrounded by quite a few young men and women listening attentively.
In Rong City, a city full of tolerance and artistic atmosphere.
Such street performances are also part of the nightlife.
Listening to familiar songs and melodies.
Xie Shuyu paused slightly, a trace of nostalgia appearing on her face.
As a standard post-90s, she had chased stars, attended concerts, and loved rock and folk music.
Just after graduation, she often indulged in shouting at KTV with friends.
Felt that her future was limitless.
But now, in her early thirties, her career and responsibilities have taken up most of her thoughts.
Chasing stars, folk music, passion...
Seemingly far from her now.
She had long passed the age of listening to folk music on the street and reminiscing about her youth.
Noticing her unusualness, Tang Song slightly tilted his head, "What’s wrong?"
Xie Shuyu quickly gathered herself, gently shaking her head, "Nothing."
"Haha, come on, let’s go listen." Tang Song tightened his grip on her hand, leading her towards the crowd with large strides.
Xie Shuyu looked at his broad, undeniable back, her gaze involuntarily moved.
The singing continued.
They stood quietly among the crowd, listening to the song.
The evening breeze, moonlight, neon lights, singing, the surging crowd...
Xie Shuyu was also infected by this romantic atmosphere, with an unconscious smile on her lips.
The song ended.
A burst of applause and cheers arose from the crowd.
The boy streaming laughed at the phone screen: "Thanks to ’Rong City Su Yu’ for the lollipop... If anyone wants to hear a song, you can send a gift to request one."
Tang Song looked at Xie Shuyu’s eyes, which were bright under the lights, and suddenly leaned into her ear, asking, "Do you want to hear a song?"
The warm breath on her earlobe and neck raised a layer of goosebumps.
Xie Shuyu bit her lip.
Thinking Tang Song was going to pick a song for her.
After thinking for a moment, she softly said, "The Ordinary Road."
When this song was born, she had just graduated, working hard in Shanghai for a distant future.
This song had accompanied her through countless late subway nights working overtime.
"As you wish, my lady CEO."
"Smooch—"
Tang Song gave her a heavy kiss on the cheek, then suddenly let go of her hand, and, in her shocked gaze, walked straight to the center of the crowd.
He approached the boy, "Brother, sorry, can I borrow the guitar again? My girlfriend wants to hear me sing."
Seeing the handsome guy that suddenly appeared.
Some young girls around and some abnormal boys immediately shouted with excitement.
Some people quickly took out their phones, aiming them at him, and started filming.
The young man was taken aback, but immediately and generously handed over the guitar: "Go ahead! Do you need me to accompany you?"
"No, thank you." Tang Song shook his head, his slender fingers grasping the neck of the guitar.
He casually tuned it.
A sense of intellectual artistry suddenly emanated from him.
His demeanor was extraordinarily free and easy.
In the live stream room, the originally scattered comments erupted like an explosion, scrolling crazily.
However, Tang Song ignored it, just adjusting the phone angle down a bit, making his face disappear from the camera.
He lifted his eyes, looking at the still-dazed female CEO.
Flashing her a fantastically gentle smile.
Then, his slender fingers glided over the guitar strings.
An ad-libbed fingerstyle guitar prelude flowed under Rong City’s night sky.
Filled with gorgeous technique and abundant emotion.
「♪ BGM: Wandering on the road, will you leave, Via Via...」
His voice was extremely clean, carrying a hint of depth and magnetism.
Unlike the original, yet it had a unique calmness.
The lyrics resonated in his voice line.
Clear as night wind, yet warm as a wine buzz.
The crowd gradually quieted down.
Xie Shuyu stood rooted to the spot.
Just staring blankly at the man among the crowd, playing and singing for her.
Moonlight and neon intertwined.
Light and shadow flickered across his body.
The flowing song.
Penetrated through the noisy Chunxi Road.
And easily penetrated through her heart.
It illuminated a corner of youth long since forgotten.
The night of Rong City.
Had never been so tender because of him.
