I was eating the juicy and tender brisket. Suddenly someone tapped my shoulder and asked me
"Umm are you Wang Li?"
I was surprised to see my High school friend. We were friend since our school days. We have not met for a very long time since our school days. After my college entrance exam, we parted our ways. He went to an engineering college.
" Ah Fengtian! what a pleasant surprise."
"I almost failed to recognise you. You have grown really muscular. You were very skinny during our High School Days."
"Haha, I have been working out abit to make myself healthier. Come over Let's have Lunch together."
"This is my girlfriend, Wang Su. We are getting married next year. And this is my friend Wang Li."
As he introduced, he sat down across the table. Then I called the waiter and offered some more beer and other dishes. And I we continued our conversation while eating.
"Fengtian what are you doing these days?"
"I am actually working at the local bank as a manager. What about you?"
"I opened an agency. Right now you can say that I am a consultant of Abast"
"That's really impressive. But didn't you go study animal husbandry and horticulture?"
"I did study that but my fate changed and here I am doing what I am doing."
"Everything is alright as long as you get to earn some buck".
"Sister-in-law. How about you?"
"I am a designer. I work in a small studio. Nothing impressive"
"That's good to hear. I will make sure to come for the wedding"
"Bro Are you waiting for someone?"
"Nope. I m alone. I just came out to shop for some dresses"
"Well we are also here to shop for some clothes."
"Yes we can do together."
"It's alright you guys can have your time. I won't want to be a third wheel."
"It's ok you won't be a third wheel. My girlfriend can help you choose some dresses. Just come along with us."

"I almost forgot. We have a class reunion tonight. Are you coming?"
"Fengtian, It will not be appropriate. I haven't attended any reunion after I passed out from college"
"Everyone would appreciate if you come. We were really worried when we lost contact with you. You didn't even call anyone. And you changed your number."
"Ok I will come if you insist"
~Tring Tring~
"Hello Mrs He?"
"Mr Wang I just sent the payment. Did you receive?"
I looked at my smartphone and saw a msg indicating a transferred sum of 200 mil.
"Yeah I did receive. Thanks your the hard work. I m busy so catch you up later on"
tut tut tut
"Sorry for that"
"It's alright."
After the lunch we went on to make a shopping spree. We didn't go to any out of the world type of fancy stores. We just shopped in those stores which were like little fancy ( lowest level of fanciness). I can't show off to them right?
At around 4:30 pm, we parted our ways.
I really want a car should I go buy a car. Nah I will buy tomorrow. For now let's go home and cook up some dinner before I go for the reunion. I don't want to be laughed at by my friends for eating alot.
So I cooked up a sumptuous dinner. I didn't eat after I finish. Instead I went on to take a bath. While I was lying in the bathtub, I got a call.
" Umm is Mr Wang at home?"
"Yes, How can I help you?"
"Mr Wang, I m Feng Nie, My Boss told me to come and assist you in decorating your home."
"Sure I am available now. Please do come"
I continued starting in the bathtub. I thought She will take some time before she reached here. But just after 2 min.
-Tingyong-
"COMING"
Damn so fast. I quickly finished up my bath and went to open the door.
She stared at me with her eyes sparkling and her jaw almost dropped. Oh shit I forgot I m just wearing a towel. I acted like nothing happened. Holys*** . I quickly changed into a shorts and a t-shirt. She looked at me like she was looking at food. What is she thinking? I better have a safe distance from her least I m violated.
"Miss Feng, Uh,mm Can you look at what needs to be done to decorate the appartment?"
"Yeah Yeah, I will "
She blushed and quickly surveyed the whole appartment unit. She seems to be 23-25. Quite young, Beautiful and seductive. But, but I don't want to be violated. I won't be able to resist if she advanced. Or am I just overthinking. I hope that's the case. I don't want to be a father before I get married.
"Ok Mr Wang, you will need to change the paint on the wall, the fan , the wardrobe and you also need to put up some green plants. Anything other request you have?"
Why do I feel like the request she is speaking of is something inappropriate? I must be over sensitive.
"Well I would also like to add a new fridges which is big in addition to the old one. Also an oven. And I also want to make the room on the left side to be my study. I want to have plenty of shelf to store books and files. And I want the room to also have small partitioned room to keep a small server maybe 3 meters length and 2 meter width. And I want to place the Old AC there. You can add some others if you need to. Don't worry about minimising the cost".
"Ok I will change everything. I will decorate and refurbish your home".
Hey hey why does your 'your' seems to be lacking with the alphabet 'y'? I m overthinking. Why am I blushing damn. I should not be infatuated. I planned to invite her over for dinner but I didn't. How will I survive the whole ordeal?
She left after asking some more questions about what I like and what I don't. She said it will help her decide whats to be put and what's not.
But I feel like she was asking out of her pure will.
Whatever if she is meant for me I will accept. But I can't force my love on just infatuations. She must be infatuated like me.
I ate up the whole thing and wait till 7 Pm. I called a cab and went to the Long's Hotel, which was quite a classy one.
