Metropolis: It’s a Showdown, I Am the Richest Man in the World

Chapter 185 Do You Know Each Other?

After receiving the watch, the two drove off.

Lin Yuan drove in front, and Murong Xi followed closely behind.

Thirty-five or six minutes later, the car slowly drove into the campus of Huada University.

Lin Yuan parked the car in the parking lot on campus, and the two got out of the car. Murong Xi felt the youthful atmosphere on campus.

They walked on the tree-lined avenue, the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, and the mottled light and shadow jumped on the ground.

Murong Xi couldn't help but sigh.

"Your school is really good! I should have applied to your school earlier."

"Hahaha..."

Lin Yuan smiled but didn't say anything. Those who understand understand that he will never think that his school is good, only outsiders will think that his school is good.

The two walked through the bustling campus. The surrounding buildings have both ancient stone styles and modern glass curtain wall designs. Classical and modern are perfectly integrated here.

Students sat on the lawn in groups of three or five to chat, or strolled alone on the path in front of the library. Everyone enjoyed their own leisure time.

When they walked to the building of the drama club, Murongxi was deeply attracted by the building decorated with reliefs and stained glass.

Seeing her so interested, Lin Yuan quickly led her into the building.

In the corridor hung photos of previous drama competitions, each photo recorded a wonderful moment.

They came to a spacious rehearsal room with various props and costumes, and the air was filled with a faint smell of paint and wood.

Su Qingqing and Lu Cang came to the rehearsal room early, and Lu Cang stood opposite her, wearing an ancient costume, and every move he made seemed so natural and smooth.

The arrival of Murongxi and Lin Yuan interrupted his rehearsal, and Su Qingqing and Lu Cang turned their heads to look at the door at the same time.

Su Qingqing quickly walked to Murongxi and Lin Yuan and greeted them enthusiastically.

"Good morning, Lin Yuan. This is the sister Murong you mentioned, right?"

"Yes, Murong Xi, sister Murong."

"Hello, sister Murong."

"Hello, what's your name?"

"Su Qingqing, just call me Qingqing."

"Well, Qingqing, where is the person who is willing to help?"

Su Qingqing pointed to Lu Cang in costume, and Murong Xi's eyes were immediately attracted.

Lu Cang was wearing a gorgeous ancient costume, with an upright posture, as if he was a gentleman from the long river of history.

Every move and every look of his revealed his deep drama skills.

Murong Xi walked up, looked at Lu Cang carefully, and was suddenly shocked.

"It's you!"

Lu Cang smiled and said.

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect that it was you who asked me to play this good play."

Lin Yuan and Su Qingqing on the side smelled the scent of melon keenly.

Murong Xi looked at Lu Cang with surprise, as if she didn't expect to meet him here.

Lin Yuan and Su Qingqing stood aside, keenly aware of the subtle atmosphere between the two.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Do you know each other?"

Murong Xi came back to his senses and nodded gently.

"I guess so, my little brother was brave enough to do something righteous."

Su Qingqing blinked curiously.

"Heroic?! What did Lu Cang do?"

Lu Cang smiled slightly, shook his head and said.

"Nothing, just helped this beautiful woman get her bag back."

Lin Yuan and Su Qingqing obviously didn't expect that the two of them had this fate, and the atmosphere was a little subtle for a while.

Murong Xi looked at Lu Cang, and a hint of complex emotions flashed in her eyes.

Su Qingqing took the initiative to break the silence. She walked to Lu Cang, stretched out her hand and smiled.

"Let's get to know each other formally. My name is Murong Xi."

"Hello, my name is Lu Cang."

Lu Cang smiled back and shook hands with Murong Xi.

Then Su Qingqing and Lin Yuan stepped aside, leaving the space for Murong Xi and Lu Cang.

Murongxi and Lu Cang stood opposite each other, and the world around them seemed to have quieted down.

She looked at Lu Cang carefully, trying to read more information from his expression.

Lu Cang seemed calm, and his eyes revealed an indescribable confidence.

"Lu Cang, I'll give you my basic information first, you write it down, and then this is my WeChat, you add it."

Murongxi was the first to break the silence, her voice was soft and magnetic.

Lu Cang smiled slightly and responded.

"Okay, no problem, I will also send my basic information to your WeChat. We must know each other by then, otherwise it will be easy to reveal the truth."

Murongxi sighed softly.

"I really trouble you this time, you must accept this gift."

Murongxi elegantly took out an exquisite gift box from her handbag and gently handed it to Lu Cang.

The silver ribbon of the gift box shimmered in the sun, revealing a low-key luxury.

Lu Cang took the gift box and opened it gently. A Vacheron Constantin men's watch lay quietly on the velvet lining. Its fine craftsmanship and elegant design all revealed its extraordinary temperament.

The sun shone on the watch through the window, and the diamonds on the dial sparkled with dazzling light, as if reflecting the light in Lu Cang's eyes.

Murong Xi said softly.

"You must accept it. I hope you will like it."

Lu Cang stared at the watch, a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then he raised his head and looked at Murong Xi.

"Such an expensive gift, I really can't accept it."

He then put the watch back into the box and gave it back to Murong Xi.

Murong Xi smiled gently, as if she had expected Lu Cang's reaction. She did not answer directly, but put the gift box back into Lu Cang's hands, with a firm look in her eyes.

Lu Cang was slightly stunned. He looked at the gift box in his hand and felt an unusual weight.

He looked up at Murong Xi, and saw that her eyes were full of trust and expectation, as if saying: "This gift, only you can deserve it."

He took a deep breath, and a warm current surged in his heart.

He understood that this gift was not only a material gift, but also a deep trust and recognition.

He raised his head and looked at Murong Xi, with a firm light in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll take it."

Lu Cang suddenly took out an exquisite mask from his prop box and handed it to Murong Xi.

The mask was mainly black, with silver lines inlaid on it, mysterious and majestic.

The corners of the mask's eyes were slightly raised, as if with a hint of unruly smile, and the corners of the mouth were slightly raised, revealing an indescribable confidence.

The sunlight shone through the window onto the mask, and the silver lines flashed with dazzling light, making people dare not look directly at it.

Murong Xi took the mask and felt a chill coming from her fingertips.

She looked at the mask carefully, as if she saw another side of Lu Cang.

She smiled gently and put the mask on her face.
