I Want To Waste Away Time With You Chapter 33

The tour guide looked a little nervous as he straightens his hat, “I'm Li Ran, don't you remember me? I was one grade level below you. I went with you and Colin to partic.i.p.ate in the interior design compet.i.tion. When the compet.i.tion started and I couldn't draw, you whispered a few words to me. You….you don't remember?”

Jian Chi didn't speak, a pair of dark, translucent eyes fixedly watching him. Like a slap in the face, he indifferently replied, “No Impression.”

However, Lu Wei Xi had been keenly focused on Li Ran's words.

“Interior design compet.i.tion….Jian Chi, you're a designer?” Her tone was filled with expectancy and surprise.

After all, Wonder's occupation in the 3D world is an unsolved mystery in the hearts of millions of people online.

Jian Chi hasn't entered yet when Li Ran excited chimed, “Yes, Senior Jian Chi is the best designer in our design school. In his second year, he received many gold design certificate awards and even partic.i.p.ated in many compet.i.tions for the school. Speaking of this, he is a compet.i.tion madman. At that time, as long as he partic.i.p.ated in any design compet.i.tion, more than half of the compet.i.tors would choose to drop out. The scene is really spectacular.” He paused but couldn't help but continue to add, “I still remember the year he graduated, our white professor who always looked down on Chinese students told us for the first time, Jian Chi will become the light of the Chinese people. His future is bright and boundless.”

Li Ran's appreciation and wors.h.i.+p could not be hidden. After speaking so long, Lu Wei Xi and Yu Mo Ran who have been listening attentively were left in a daze.

It is almost 9 o'clock. The tourists began to leave in batches. The environment on the top floor is no longer compact as the evening breeze created a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. And everyone's eyes are silently placed on Jian Chi.

Jian Chi doesn't seem to be concerned about his brilliant history. Instead, Yu Mo Ran who had been listening on the sidelines couldn't help but asked, “Tour guide, so you're saying….he is also like you and also studied in the U.S.?”

Li Ran was a little embarra.s.sed as he scratched his head, “En, Senior Jian Chi transferred from Princeton to Columbia at that time. He was the most influential figure in our school and help put a bright light on us Chinese students. As far as I know, when he is in his third year, many large well-known companies want to poach him over. Right now, you must be staying in the U.S. working right?”

Stay in the U.S. and work?

Lu Wei Xi finally figured out why that month in China she hadn't received any news from him. He must have returned to the United States to continue working. Then….that means he won't stay in China for too long. He will be back sooner or later, return to this cosmopolitan city, start his bright future... without her in it.

Don't know why but when she thinks about how in the future, they will live in two different countries with a 13-hour time difference, she felt depressed. But she knows that she can't ask him to work in China because it would be selfish to do so. After all, he is a very outstanding person.

“I plan to go back to China.”

As if abandoning a million-dollar salary is no big deal.

“......Go back to China?” Li Ran's eyes widened and almost suspected that something is wrong, “Senior, your qualification is so good, your future will be unlimited if you stay here. Why do you want to return to China?”

Lu Wei Xi couldn't help but look at him incredulously. Even idiots know that in the design industry the circ.u.mstances in the United States is many times better than the domestic. Plus, he is so amazing, it is unfathomable why he would want to return to China. She wants to ask him why but for some reason that word can't seem to leave her mouth.

Jian Chi didn't answer the question and only looked down at her gently before quickly looking away.

Just at this time, Yu Mo Ran who had been silently watching suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Li Ran, “Tour guide, is there anything else on our itinerary today?”

Li Ran looked at her blankly before he remembered that he is a part-time tour guide, “Ah, yes, the final item on our itinerary tonight is to bring you a taste of the local bar culture in the United States.”

Bars are a very important part of the United States. Because the U.S. is a country extremely particular about human rights and freedom, so no matter what professions Americans have, the working hours are fixed. Basically, after 8pm, besides supermarkets, it is difficult to see any shops that are still open on the street. And during this time, for some who wants to stay up all night, and want to go out with a group of friends to hang out, it shows the necessity of the existence of the bar.

The most important electronic in an American bar is the TV. Because Americans really like to watch sports such as football or baseball, basically every bar will have a big screen TV used to attract customers.

“Uh…..Jian Chi, you probably don't have anything planned right now so do you want to go to the bar with us?” Yu Mo Ran enthusiastically asked. Her eyes twinkled and suddenly seemed like she is familiar with him.

When she finished, she seemed to be afraid that Jian Chi would reject so she pulled on Lu Wei Xi's sleeve, “Wei Xi, it's already so late. Ask your boyfriend to come with us and if you drink too much, he can take care of you.”

“.....Uh, I have a low alcohol tolerance so I won't drink too much. Also, he isn't–––”

She didn't even finish the second half of the when someone pulled her wrist. That person's hand is cold as if it has never been warm. He wordlessly pulled her hand and walk downstairs.

Although they haven't drunk a drop of alcohol yet, Lu Wei Xi suddenly felt that she is already drunk. Her brain felt dizzy and didn't even struggle as she obediently followed him down the stairs and walk outside.

For a long while, it seems that the atmosphere is a bit awkward. Lu Wei Xi who is still losing her mind started to find a topic to talk about.

“It's really a coincidence to b.u.mp into you here.”

After the words came out of her mouth, Lu Wei Xi awkwardly laughs in order to avoid swearing.

Jian Chi halted and turned back to look at her. His cold voice is still clear and amazing as ever, “Would you believe me if I said that I came to the Empire State Building after I saw your Weibo post?”

He asked her if she would believe him or not.

Lu Wei Xi looked up and suddenly felt that everything that happened today was like a dream. His eyes were as dark as night and s.h.i.+ning bright like the stars.

She looked at him and nodded, “Yes.”

I will believe whatever you say.

Jian Chi slightly cold eyes softened with her words. He smiled and pleasantly asked her, “Do you want to go to a bar?”

En…..besides, it's her first time in the United States, wouldn't it be a shame if she didn't go to a bar? Lu Wei Xi had an inner struggle in her heart before she finally nodded, “Yes.”

He nodded and didn't seem to want to intervene.

"Then I will accompany you."

“Okay.”
