Chapter 155 Plan
"I agree with you!"

Zhou Duanyun laughed and poured wine for Gao Yang, and they both drank it in one gulp.

"They both can really drink." Tang Xin looked at the two of them with a smile, then turned to look at Lin Xian's wine dispenser:

"You drank a lot, too. Is that okay?"

"It's OK. I can drink quite well."

"No wonder you are so interested in hibernation, Lin Xian, is it because of Professor Xu Yun?" Tang Xin blinked and looked at Lin Xian.

"Not really." Lin Xian filled his glass with wine:
"I just feel sorry for Professor Xu Yun's daughter. I hope she can live to see the day when the hibernation chamber is available. Come, I wish you success in your research soon. I guess many patients are waiting for you."

"I'll do my best~"

Tang Xin also drank a lot today, and raised his glass with a smile and clinked it with Lin Xian.

in fact……

Lin Xian thought Tang Xin wouldn't drink today.

After all, she was the only girl here today, and this was not a business occasion. No one would say anything to her if she didn't drink. They were all classmates, so she could do whatever she wanted.

But I didn't expect that there are also a lot of heroines.

Zhou Duanyun and Gao Yang were obviously drunk... and they stretched the battle line to a very long extent.

After drinking two bottles of white wine, Zhou Duanyun asked the driver to bring two more bottles. The two continued drinking and showed no intention of leaving.

Lin Xian and Tang Xin had already drunk enough, so they ignored the two people shouting at them and just chatted over here.

Tang Xin told Lin Xian that their symphony orchestra would be performing at the "Donghai City Music Festival" in the near future, and invited Lin Xian to watch it.

Symphony...

In fact, Lin Xian was not very interested.

But Tang Xin invited him enthusiastically, saying that there would be not only a symphony, but also performances by many celebrities, and in addition to songs, there would be other programs such as dances, which would be very grand, so Lin Xian agreed.

It was not until the waiter came to urge them that the restaurant was about to close that Gao Yang and Zhou Duanyun were willing to leave. The two of them had been drinking from seven or eight o'clock until the early morning, so they could be considered a perfect match.

After going downstairs, Zhou Duanyun's driver opened the back door of the Rolls-Royce Phantom and let Gao Yang and Zhou Duanyun get in.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom is a four-seater car, so Zhou Duanyun had to take Gao Yang home, while Lin Xian prepared to take a taxi to take Tang Xin home.

"Lin Xian! When will you come to my place to buy a car?" Gao Yang rolled down the window and shouted from the Rolls-Royce.

"Go when you're free, don't worry, I'll keep my word."

Lin Xian waved and bid farewell to the two.

"Lin Xian, let's go by car too."

Tang Xin pointed to the taxi parked on the side of the road.

Lin Xian looked up.

Under the influence of alcohol, my vision became a little blurry, as if there was a delay, and it felt like everything in front of me was half a beat slower.

The whole street was very quiet.

After Zhou Duanyun's Rolls-Royce drove away, the whole world was silent except for the sound of the hotel staff arranging the tables and chairs behind him.

A taxi was parked quietly on the road waiting for passengers.

Both sides of the road were plunged into darkness. This scene... seemed familiar.

Tang Xin walked in front and had already reached the side of the taxi, reaching out to open the door——

Snapped!
Behind her, Lin Xian grabbed her hand.

"what?"

Tang Xin turned around and looked down at Lin Xian holding her hand, her eyes seemed to be panicked for a moment.

She didn't know if it was the effect of alcohol, but she felt Lin Xian's palms were warm. The electronic watch on his wrist was exposed from his cuffs, and the silver numbers on it showed the time.

00:42
"Lin...Lin Xian?" Tang Xin's cheeks turned slightly red. She stretched her free hand behind her ear and entangled her hair with her index finger.

"Would you like to chat for a while?" Lin Xian said with a smile.

"Okay." Tang Xin turned her head and looked at the end of the road:

"Want to...want to change places?"

"It's fine right here."

"Here?" Tang Xin was a little confused. She looked around and smiled at Lin Xian:

"This doesn't look like a good place to chat. A few days ago, my colleague took me to a nice bar. Why don't we go there?"

Lin Xian looked at his watch.

00:43
"Okay, I'll go sober up now."

He let go of Tang Xin's hand and opened the back door of the taxi.

It was opened directly and quickly.

Then he stretched out his hand and motioned Tang Xin to come in:

"You sit in the back, I'll sit in the front."

He reached for the front door again—

It opened smoothly too.

A breath came out of the nose...

Am I really too sensitive?
Sitting in the passenger seat, he turned his head to look at the driver, a very ordinary middle-aged driver.

"Where?"

The driver threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, touched his nose, and looked at the two of them.

"here."

Tang Xin handed the location on her phone to the driver.

……

In the music bar, the resident singer played and sang soothing folk songs on the stage.

Lin Xian and Tang Xin sat at a small table in the corner, drinking drinks.

Tang Xin seemed to have opened a chatterbox. She had endless things to say, chattering like a sparrow. She was very different from her previous self in the restaurant. She shared bits and pieces of her life and talked about interesting things at work.

Lin Xian mostly responded with a smile.

All I could think about was the road with no traffic or pedestrians, and the taxi that had absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Numerous details show that...

I was indeed a bit too neurotic about 00:42.

In his opinion.

He might be killed, and Tang Xin might be killed too... He was already feeling a little nervous.

But it turns out.

Whether it was the class reunion or this time today, it was just a false alarm and we just scared ourselves.

If you think about it carefully, it is actually quite difficult to kill someone at 00:42. There are only 60 seconds in total, and the target has to be standing on the road, and there has to be a car crashing into him at high speed...

It's too harsh no matter how you think about it.

Lin Xian thought that if in the situation just now, he or Tang Xin was the target of the murderers, then at least when Tang Xin reached out to open the car door, the vehicle at the other end of the road should have accelerated, otherwise there would not be enough speed to kill someone.

But the fact is...

There was no movement at all.

The taxi driver behaved normally and opened the door smoothly. Even if he didn't stop Tang Xin, she could get into the taxi safely from the sidewalk.

and so.

Maybe I'm really too sensitive.

This feeling of being on tenterhooks is really bad.

After the two continued chatting for a while, they prepared to leave.

After leaving the bar, Tang Xin pulled Lin Xian's sleeve and pointed across the street:

"Over there, I called a Didi taxi! I just learned how to use it a few days ago. It's much easier to use than Uber. Our domestic software is more convenient to use."

Tang Xin was worried about Lin Xian, so she sent Lin Xian home first:

"Bye Lin Xian~" "Goodbye."

Lin Xian waved goodbye and the Didi car disappeared into the night.

……

The next day, Gao Yang's gossip hotline arrived on time:

"Hehehe, yesterday..."

"Nothing happened." Lin Xian was operating the mouse in the company, adjusting the model of the Rhine Cat, and directly interrupted Gao Yang's delusion:
"Can you put something clean in your head?"

"Bah! Zhou Duanyun and I saw it yesterday!"

Gao Yang snorted with disdain:
"We just started driving! You got involved with her! We saw it clearly in the rearview mirror! You scumbag, don't be afraid to take responsibility for what you did!"

"I was worried that it would be unsafe for her to cross the road."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Do you believe this reason? Is Tang Xin a three-year-old child or an eighty-year-old old lady? You don't even feel safe crossing the road!?"

"Nothing to do, hang up now."

Doodle.

Lin Xian hung up the phone directly.

Ding-a-ling ding-a-ling ding-a-ling ding-a-ling!
As soon as I hung up the phone, the ringing started again.

Is Gao Yang still lingering around?
Lin Xian looked at the caller ID and saw an unexpected name -

Chu Anqing.

Why does this little princess look for me?
After the call was connected, a sweet voice came:

"Senior Lin Xian, are you in the office? I just happened to pass by here and wanted to give you something!"

"I'm on the 20th floor. I'll ask the front desk to pick you up."

"No, no, I can go up by myself!"

A few minutes later.

The little princess of the East China Sea has arrived.

Still dressed in the youthful and beautiful style that is unique to female college students, Lin Xian's entire office seemed to be filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers from Tunghai University.

"What brings you here today?" Lin Xian poured her a glass of water.

"I'm here to give you a ticket!"

Chu Anqing giggled and took out an exquisite admission ticket from her pocket and handed it over.

Lin Xian took it and looked at it...

Special seats for the "Donghai City Music Festival".

?

I just heard about this concert from Tang Xin yesterday, and today I received the ticket from Chu Anqing? What a coincidence!

"Will there be a show for you?"

Lin Xian directly stated the most likely guess.

"Yes~"

Chu Anqing put her hands in her pockets and shook her body:

"There's my ballet program! You danced with me at my dad's New Year's party... I thought I should give you a gift in return to thank you! This concert was great!"

"It's not just me. Tunghai University has several shows! There will also be performances by some famous singers and bands. You will definitely like it, senior!"

Lin Xian smiled helplessly.

Could it be that the waltz danced at that banquet caused Chu Anqing to have some misunderstanding about herself?

He was not the petty bourgeois young man who liked singing and dancing performances. Most of his knowledge of music came from movies. As for dancing... he just had a few weak skills and just happened to run into trouble.

"Thanks for the ticket. I'll go if I have time."

"Okay, I'll be leaving now, senior. Bye~"

Pistachio came and went in a hurry, waving goodbye and leaving.

Lin Xian re-examined the premium seat ticket.

Good guy...

This position is simply the VIP among VIPs.

But Chu Shanhe's status is there, so it's not surprising that Chu Anqing can get any ticket, even her ballet show... most likely she got it through the backdoor, right?
“But it’s hard to say.”

Lin Xian shook his head. He shouldn't look at such a rich girl with tinted glasses.

At the New Year's party that day, Chu Anqing's superb dancing skills spoke for themselves. Moreover, she was hindered by her mediocre dancing partner Lin Xian, so she couldn't give her full performance.

If she is really given a perfect stage to perform...she can't be underestimated.

……

night.

A high-end French restaurant.

Tang Xin put her handbag on the seat next to her and looked at Zhou Duanyun who was sitting opposite her with a smile:

"I didn't expect you would treat me to a meal."

"We are all classmates, so let's deepen our friendship." Zhou Duanyun called the waiters and asked them to start serving appetizers.

"You said you wanted to talk to me about Lin Xian?" Tang Xin looked at Zhou Duanyun.

Zhou Duanyun lowered his head and smiled:
"Ms. Tang, the appetizers haven't even been served yet and you're already getting straight to the point. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Don't keep me in suspense." Tang Xin smiled politely and spread the napkin on the table:

"If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"You like Lin Xian, right?" Zhou Duanyun looked at Tang Xin with a smile:

"I'm sorry to be so direct, but I don't think you're deliberately hiding your feelings for Lin Xian. I hope you don't mind."

"There's nothing to hide." Tang Xin said softly:
"I'm not a teenage girl. It's normal for me to like someone at my age. It's not something to be ashamed of. I can say it openly."

"I really like Lin Xian." Tang Xin smoothed her bangs and looked at Zhou Duanyun:
"I didn't expect you to gossip about these little things. Although we haven't known each other for long and have only met two or three times, you give me the impression that you are quite busy."

"Don't say that, old classmate." Zhou Duanyun raised the appetizer poured by the waiter:

"I didn't call you here just to gossip. I just wanted to help you."

"Help me?" Tang Xin blinked, a little surprised:

"Although I appreciate your kindness...but I feel that when it comes to love, there's nothing that requires help from outsiders."

"Hey... you still don't understand the East China Sea business circle, old classmate. You don't know how popular Lin Xian is with women, and you don't know who your competitors are."

Zhou Duanyun smiled, shook his head and sighed:
"I'll just say it straight..."

He put down his wine glass and looked at Tang Xin seriously:

"You have no chance. You have no chance of winning."

……

……

The two didn't speak for a long time.

The waiter came up quietly, brought the first plate of appetizers to the table, bowed and left.

Tang Xin snorted lightly, crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair:
"Zhou Duanyun, isn't that too rude of you to say that? Did you specifically ask me out just to mock me?"

"How is that possible? You misunderstood my good intentions."

Zhou Duanyun crossed his hands on the table:

"Even though Lin Xian is surrounded by beautiful women, they are not related to me. Why should I care about them? After all, we are classmates. I will definitely always stand on your side."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I've already said it before, I want to help you." Zhou Duanyun looked at Tang Xin and smiled:
"I have a plan that can 100% help you take down Lin Xian..."

"Are you interested in listening?"
