121: Li Qian was tempted.
As soon as the two met, they exchanged a few pleasantries and then began to vent.
"Shuanger, let me tell you, dating is so hard nowadays. I broke up again yesterday! He actually went out to find a prostitute. I really don't know where all the high-quality men have gone."
Li Qian took off her white shirt and hung it on the back of the chair, revealing the low-cut camisole underneath. It must be said, she was still very full-figured.
Years of workplace pressure had etched a hint of fatigue onto her pure face. Her once quiet and gentle personality had now become talkative and complaining.
Li Shuang said mysteriously, "I've asked Cao Lang out today. He's single too. Let me introduce him to you."
"Cao Lang? I don't want him. Only you cherished him back in high school; I certainly didn't think much of him."
Li Qian tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, picked up her teacup, and took a small sip of the jasmine green tea the waiter had brewed.
Thinking of Cao Lang, the image of a decent-looking but clumsy big guy appeared in her mind.
Although his physical attributes weren't bad, his personality wasn't her type.
Most importantly, Cao Lang's family wasn't wealthy. He was an orphan and had applied for poverty subsidies back in high school.
It had been many years since graduation. Based on life experience, it was unlikely that Cao Lang had done very well for himself.
She definitely wouldn't consider him.
Li Qian couldn't understand why her best friend had feelings for him in high school. What could she have possibly seen in him?
Even now, she had actually asked him out to introduce him to her.
In Li Qian's view, Li Shuang probably just wanted to see him herself and called her over as a buffer to avoid awkwardness.
"I'm serious. Cao Lang is quite humorous now and knows how to joke around."
Li Shuang chuckled. She was married and her child was already old enough to run errands; her naive feelings for Cao Lang from back then had long since faded like water.
It was just a hint of curiosity that made her want to meet Cao Lang.
After all, the older people get, the more nostalgic they become.
Knock, knock, knock.
A knock sounded at the door of the private room.
Li Shuang stood up to open the door. Standing outside was a tall and handsome man.
He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a face like polished jade, a carefree and elegant demeanor—he was extremely handsome!
"You are...?"
Li Shuang's surprised eyes flickered like stars in the night sky, unsure.
"Don't recognize me, old classmate?"
Cao Lang greeted her with a smile.
This smile almost hooked Li Shuang's soul out of her body.
Holy crap.
Where the hell am I?
This is Cao Lang?
I'm not dreaming, am I!
It had to be said that the effects of the Beauty-Enhancing Body-Refining Pill given by the system were just too powerful.
Cao Lang's overall temperament and charm seemed as if they were etched into his bones from birth; they had completely transformed him.
His features still resembled the old Cao Lang, but his temperament was truly beyond words.
Handsomeness is a feeling.
Cao Lang stood right in front of Li Shuang, and his temperament alone was enough to completely shock her!
Otherwise, with so many Internet Celebrities wanting to climb into his bed, aside from the charm of money, based solely on his modeled looks, the current Cao Lang would never lack women.
"Who is it? Is Cao Lang here?"
Li Qian stood up in what she thought was an elegant manner, tugged down her low-cut camisole, and went to the door to meet her old classmate.
"Holy shit!"
"Cao Lang really has become handsome!"
"Come in, quick!"
Seeing Cao Lang, Li Qian's heart also skipped a beat.
"Come on in, Cao Lang."
Li Shuang suppressed her internal shock and invited Cao Lang in, acting as warm as an old friend who hadn't been seen in years.
After the three of them were seated.
The window of the private room faced the roadside, overlooking a bustling street with people coming and going.
Cao Lang briefly sized up the two of them, but didn't linger; instead, he looked at the scenery outside the window.
The system ratings had appeared.
Name: Li Shuang.
Age: 28
Height: 164 cm
Weight: 60 kg
Appearance: 78
Figure: 75
Experience: T1
This appearance rating, though not as high as any of Cao Lang's other women, was still very pretty—a girl next door type with a strong sense of being a housewife. Mainly, the white moonlight halo was so large that Cao Lang felt this score was a bit low.
On the other hand, Li Qian.
Name: Li Qian.
Age: 29
Height: 169 cm
Weight: 65 kg
Appearance: 73
Figure: 79
Experience: T4
Li Qian's figure did have its merits, but while the low-cut outfit showcased her strengths, the tight design made the little bit of fat on her belly quite noticeable. Compared to women who were experts in body management, there was still room for improvement.
Like Chengdu Yang Yuhuan, she also had proud peaks, but her lower abdomen was relatively flat.
With this comparison, the gap became apparent.
Not to mention comparing her to top-tier, big-breasted goddesses like Liu Qingqin, Li Na, and Jiang Mengyuan, whose figure ratings were all above 90.
Li Qian quietly tugged on Li Shuang's sleeve and whispered, "Sister, you said you were introducing him to me, right?"
...The bonus period for girls from ordinary families is generally between 18 and 28 years old.
Girls of this age are in their golden years, the time when they are most easily pursued by men.
After 28, the bonus period disappears. Without the age advantage, the number of pursuers decreases significantly.
Unless you have hard power—your face is like a celestial being's, your skin is always hydrated and fair, and you have good financial strength to maintain yourself with high-end skincare products!
Otherwise, you will end up as an over-aged leftover woman.
Li Qian is 29 years old this year.
She had three Boyfriends and had briefly engaged in casual flings when she was heartbroken.
Adults have their own needs, which is understandable—mainly because it doesn't show up on a pre-marital checkup!
Women of this age are already very realistic when looking for a husband!
Without a certain level of financial strength, it's hard to move her heart.
But Cao Lang, just by sitting in front of Li Qian, made her heart skip a beat intensely!
Even though this was the boy her best friend had feelings for in high school.
But her best friend already had a child and was already married.
She had already lost her "eligibility" to compete.
She could completely go ahead and "steal her love"!
Besides, Cao Lang and she were high school classmates.
They spent three years as classmates! They had a certain level of mutual understanding!
From school uniforms to wedding dresses—how romantic is that!
Besides, Li Qian was tired; she wanted to get married!
She'd had three Boyfriends, and if it wasn't their lack of financial strength, it was their poor character!
After going around in circles, she was almost 30.
The song lyrics are right.
A woman of thirty.
The loneliness of the deep night is unbearable!
A woman of thirty.
Passion has been worn away by the years!
At this moment, a strong desire rose in Li Qian's heart.
She wanted to marry Cao Lang! To marry someone she admired!
Even if Cao Lang didn't earn money in the future, she could earn money to support him!
Even if she had to rent a house with Cao Lang in the future, it would be fine!
Just as Li Qian was fantasizing, Cao Lang called the waiter from outside and began to order.
"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Braised Shark's Fin in Brown Sauce, Taishi Five Snake Soup, Shredded Three-Ingredient Shark's Fin, Bird's Nest in Clear Soup..."
Hearing Cao Lang order so many expensive signature dishes in a row, Li Shuang hurriedly grabbed his arm and whispered:
"Cao Lang, there's no need to spend so much. Just a few light dishes will do."
Cao Lang smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, "It's fine. We haven't seen each other in years; let's just enjoy the meal."
That faint confidence wasn't faked!
This temperament was nothing like someone putting on a front!
Li Qian saw this and knew in her heart that Cao Lang's financial strength definitely wasn't bad either!
Heaven is truly helping me!
She swallowed. If no one was around, she really wanted to kowtow to Li Shuang and say:
"Shuanger, you are truly my great benefactor! I'll take Cao Lang without hesitation!"
