A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 326: Watching the Night View from the Window

On the other hand, April was not in a very good mood today because it was time for her birthday again.

I am wandering alone outside, and only my parents who are far away in my hometown remember my birthday.

In fact, if her parents hadn't called to remind her yesterday, even April herself would have forgotten that today was her birthday.

But what about birthdays? There is no one around to celebrate with me, so I can only buy a cake on the way home at night and celebrate alone.

Moreover, April is already 28 years old this year. Every year that passes reminds her that she is one year older, and her parents are urging her to get married every year.

Originally, April thought that she would celebrate her birthday alone again this year, and she was even wondering whether it was necessary to buy another cake.

But at this moment, she received a message from Lu Cheng, saying that they wanted to go out for dinner together.

April was delighted, knowing that she wouldn't be so lonely on her birthday this year.

Even April wondered if Lu Cheng knew her birthday and asked her out for dinner. But then she shook her head. Lu Cheng had only met her a few times, so how could he know her birthday? And celebrate her birthday?

However, no matter whether Lu Cheng knew that today was her birthday, at least having someone accompany her was much better than celebrating her birthday alone.

What's more, Lu Cheng was the one she felt fond of and even the object of her beautiful fantasies.

She got off work early, went home to wash up, changed into a beige dress, put on some light makeup, then went out and drove to the restaurant where she had an appointment with Lu Cheng.

As a senior salesperson earning tens or even hundreds of thousands of yuan a month, April naturally has his own car, a white BMW 3 Series.

Soon, the car stopped at the door of a high-end restaurant on the bank of the Huangpu River. April walked into the restaurant and looked at the couples sitting in the windows around him. He felt a little moved. He hadn't noticed it just now, but this seemed to be a restaurant for couples.

At this moment, Lu Cheng had already waved at her: "Apel, here."

"Mr. Lu."

"This location is pretty good, right? You can enjoy the night view of the Huangpu River while dining here. I've heard from friends that the food in this restaurant is pretty good. But I heard that this is a couples' restaurant, so it seems a bit inappropriate for me to come alone. I happened to be free today, so I made an appointment with you."

When April heard this, his heart skipped a beat again. He couldn't help but think about it. Was there any other meaning behind this sentence? Or was he just trying to be a companion to have a meal together?

One French meal after another was soon served on the table. The first dish was the nine-segment prawns. After being marinated, the nine-segment prawns were covered with a layer of jelly made from tangerine peel, and then paired with seasoned sea urchin, caramelized cauliflower puree, sturgeon caviar, etc. It was richly seasoned and sweet in taste, which girls usually prefer.

April took a bite and nodded with satisfaction: "It's really good."

The second dish is slicing scallops and stacking them with black truffles. The outside is covered with a layer of black truffle skin. The whole thing is fried and then topped with Jerusalem artichoke sauce and black truffle soup, making the best use of black truffles.

After that there were pan-fried monkfish fillets, sea cucumber with beef, duck liver, etc. There were all kinds of dishes with a wide variety and the taste was very good.

Of course, the only drawback of this feast is that the portion is too small. There is only a little bit on the plate, not even enough for two bites.

A meal here costs at least five or six thousand. Even though April has a good income, he rarely affords to eat in such a place.

Western food with red wine, soothing light music, the night view outside the window, and the charming Lu Cheng in front of her, April's heart also became peaceful.

Seeing that the meal was almost finished, Lu Cheng suddenly gestured to the waiter beside him, and the waiter quickly pushed over a food cart with a cake and a bouquet of flowers on it.

"Happy birthday, April!"

Seeing the cake and flowers in front of her, Apple suddenly became excited. The knife and fork in her hand fell on the table. She looked at the cake and flowers beside her with some disbelief, and then looked at Lu Cheng opposite her.

Moved and with red eyes, April thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you."

"You're welcome. We are friends, aren't we?"

After the excitement, April calmed down a little and asked the question in his mind again: "Mr. Lu...how do you know my birthday?"

"Have you forgotten? When I took you to the hospital, I took your ID card to register. I saw your ID card before."

"You remembered it after just one glance?"

"Of course, a beautiful girl like you has an easy birthday to remember."

Seeing that April’s birthday was coming soon, Lu Cheng made a special note of it.

April couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Mr. Lu is really a thoughtful person. I don't know how many girls have fallen into your hands. However, I still want to thank Mr. Lu for remembering my birthday and celebrating it for me. To be honest, I have been in the Magic City for so many years that I almost forgot when my birthday is."

"It's okay, I'll remember it later. Are you so touched? Do you want a hug?"

Upon hearing this, April stood up, walked to Lu Cheng, opened his arms, and gave Lu Cheng a deep hug.

Lu Cheng felt tears dripping on his shoulder and patted her back gently to comfort her.

After a long time, April sat back in his seat.

Lu Cheng handed her the tissue and stood up to move the cake onto the table.

The cake is not very big, but it is made quite delicately and it doesn’t look cheap at first glance.

Lu Cheng put candles on the cake and then lit them one by one: "Come on, make a wish."

"Thank you."

After blowing out the candle and making a wish silently, April's eyes had completely changed when she looked at Lu Cheng. They were like a pool of autumn water, and she did not conceal the ripples caused by the breeze at all.

After eating the cake, it was already 10:30 in the evening. April held flowers and walked out of the restaurant with Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng reached out and took April's hand. April did not refuse and took the initiative to move closer.

When the two walked to the parking lot downstairs, drivers Lao Li and Lao Zhao were already waiting in the parking lot.

Looking at the night view in the distance, Lu Cheng suddenly smiled and turned around: "Apel, the night view of my house is very good, do you want to go and see it?"

April naturally understood the meaning of this and nodded slightly: "Well, I'm not sleepy at the moment."

Afterwards, Lao Li drove Lu Cheng's sports car, Lao Zhao drove April's BMW 3 Series, and Lu Cheng and April sat in the BMW 3 Series and drove towards Tomson Yipin.

When April followed Lu Cheng into the house, as the door closed, a ball of fire suddenly ignited, as if to engulf everything.

A deep hug, a passionate kiss, a sharp verbal exchange, clothes were already scattered on the ground, and the breathing became hot.

Soon, April enjoyed the night view of Lu Cheng's house, which was really beautiful.

In the distance are high-rise buildings with flashing neon lights, and below is the Huangpu River sparkling under the lights. There are also luxurious cruise ships traveling back and forth on the river. What a beautiful scene.

April held the glass window with both hands. Her chaotic and rapid breathing made the glass window so close to her covered with a layer of mist, blurring her vision and her heart...

The windows are equipped with one-way glass, so people inside can see the scenery outside, but people outside cannot see the scenery inside.

After an unknown amount of time, April had already finished appreciating the night view. He was like a fish that had been fished for more than an hour and finally pulled ashore. He had lost all his strength and could only breathe slightly. He said in a hoarse voice, "Too strong..."

Twenty-eight-year-old April once had a boyfriend, and they came to Shanghai together to work hard. However, they later broke up for various reasons. Since then, she has been working hard to make money and has never thought about love again.

Money, in many cases, makes people feel more secure than love.
