At nine o’clock in the evening, it was the beginning of nightlife.
After dinner, Zhou Chao and his companions drove to Star City’s most famous street, Liberation West Street.
“Is this the famous Liberation West?” Looking at the bustling street with people coming and going, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but marvel at the crowd. It seemed that every city had a destination for late-night activities.
“This building looks so cool!” Guo Yan took out her phone and started taking pictures of the trendy walls filled with colorful lights.
“Sis-in-law, bro, come over here, let’s take a picture together!”
Unable to resist Guo Yan’s enthusiasm, Zhou Chao held Jiang Li’s hand and walked over.
Guo Yan took several pictures with her phone.
“Brother Chao, let’s also take some photos. When we return to Jingdu, we can print these photos and hang them up at home.” Jiang Li hugged Zhou Chao’s arm, feeling its warmth, and Zhou Chao smiled and nodded.
After all, if his wife asked, how could he refuse?
The two of them didn’t have many photos together, so they seized this opportunity. Holding Jiang Li’s hand, they strolled along Liberation West Street, leaving their footprints wherever they found interesting shops or signs. “Brother Chao, can 1 have your phone?” Jiang Li smiled and squinted at Zhou Chao.
“What for?” Zhou Chao was a bit puzzled but handed his phone to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li took the phone and started playing with it. Zhou Chao leaned in to take a look and realized that Jiang Li had posted the picture of the two of them from earlier on his WeChat Moments. He didn’t mind, as his WeChat Moments mostly consisted of a few close friends and relatives, along with various big shots and high-ranking executives.
Liberation West Street, although only about two kilometers long, was one of the most bustling commercial districts in the entire Star City and even Hunan Province.
Liberation West Street was divided into three sections: Pozzi Street, Taiping Street, and the Pedestrian Street. The pedestrian street was where most of the snack shops were concentrated, Pozzi Street was known for its bars, with over a hundred of them gathered here, and Taiping Street hosted many of Star City’s old associations.
After they had explored all of Liberation West Street, it was already an hour later. At this moment, each of them held a box of plum blossom cakes, enjoying their snacks.
“Xiao Yan, in the future, when you come to Liberation West, don’t go to the bars on Pozzi Street!” Watching the young men and women coming and going on Pozzi Street, Zhou Chao said with a serious expression.
“I understand, bro. You can rest assured. I remember the lesson from last time.” Guo Yan’s face turned serious as she looked at the bars of various sizes on Pozzi Street. After all, if it weren’t for her brother’s timely arrival, she wouldn’t know what her fate would have been.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao with some curiosity, her eyes filled with an undisguised sense of exploration.
Seeing her curious look, Zhou Chao lightly touched Jiang Li’s delicate nose and then narrated the whole story to her exactly as it happened. Meanwhile, Guo Yan, who was on the side, listened to Zhou Chao’s account, her head slightly lowered, occasionally tapping her foot on the floor.
Jiang Li gently rubbed Guo Yan’s head in a tender manner and softly said, “It’s okay, don’t dwell on the past. Just be more cautious when making friends in the future.”
“Okay, I understand, sis-in-law.” Guo Yan, as if encouraged, let go of her previous gloominess, and her eyes, which were once downcast, now showed a smile.
“I want to go eat something delicious! Charge ahead, to the pedestrian street!” Saying this, she quickly headed towards the pedestrian street.
Seeing Guo Yan becoming lively again, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li exchanged a glance, understanding each other without words.
“Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz!”
Zhou Chao had only taken a few steps when his phone rang.
“Hmm, why is he calling me at this time? Is the matter resolved?” Zhou Chao looked at the incoming call display with some confusion.
Curious, Jiang Li glanced at Zhou Chao’s phone and exclaimed, “Brother Chao, is this Zhang Ruoyun, the celebrity? How did you two meet?”
“Well, let me see what he wants first, and I’ll tell you later.”
Zhou Chao answered the call from Zhang Ruoyun.
“Ruoyun, what’s up?”
“Young Master Zhou, I’m sorry to bother you. I saw on your WeChat Moments that you’re in Liberation West Street in Star City right now?” Zhang Ruoyun’s voice carried a hint of excitement.
“Yes, I just came here to attend to some business. I brought my wife to visit this famous Liberation West. Are you also in Star City?” Zhou Chao could sense Zhang Ruoyun’s implied meaning.
“Yes, I happen to be in this area recording a variety show. Just after finishing work, I saw your Moments post. I wonder if Young Master Zhou is interested in having some late-night snacks. Professor He and a few others are here too.” Zhang Ruoyun gave a rough introduction to the people who would be joining.
“Wait a moment. Let me check if they’re interested in joining us.”
Zhou Chao didn’t hang up the phone and turned to Jiang Li and the others, asking, “Ruoyun invited us for late-night snacks. There might be a few other celebrities there, including Professor He. Would you like to go?”
“Brother Chao, is it Professor He and his group?” Jiang Li suddenly became interested.
Zhou Chao nodded slightly.
“Bro, let’s go! I’ve never seen a live celebrity before, and i love Professor He!
Wu Hu!” Guo Yan was already excitedly jumping up and down..
