Urban Immortal Lord

Time flies when you're in the throes of spiritual practice. In the blink of an eye, Xia Tian had been meditating for two hours, and it was almost noon.

He opened his eyes, got up, put on his shoes, and prepared to see Zhang Jinbo.

Just then, there was a loud knocking on the door, and Wang Xiaoling's voice came from outside.

"Summer, do you want me to order takeout for you so we can have lunch together?"

Xia Tian opened the door and saw Wang Xiaoling looking anxious.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I've already made plans to eat with friends. Let's eat together another time if we have the chance," Xia Tian said apologetically. After all, a girl had kindly ordered takeout for him, and he couldn't just pretend nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoling said, "Oh, is that so? Are you with your girlfriend?"

They immediately started gossiping, looking at Xia Tian with curiosity, and even nodded thoughtfully to show their understanding.

"Uh... it's a guy I'm pretty close to. Since I just arrived in M ​​City today, he's planning to treat me to dinner." Xia Tian was completely bewildered. Why are girls these days so gossipy? But he still explained.

"Hehe, so you have a girlfriend?" Wang Xiaoling seemed to be in a playful mood, and continued, "This fairy is planning to give you a chance if you behave well in the future."

Upon hearing this, Xia Tian didn't say a word. She closed the door, strode out of the living room, and made a hasty escape.

Summer had to admit that this girl's focus was sometimes quite peculiar, and her intuition was also very accurate...

Wang Xiaoling was stunned by Xia Tian's sudden action. Watching his disappearing figure, she murmured, "That guy was actually quite fun..."

Of course, Xia Tian didn't hear these words, otherwise he would definitely feel uneasy. The reason he ran away was that he didn't want to be bothered by Wang Xiaoling's talkativeness any longer.

After leaving the residential area, Xia Tian called Zhang Jinbo, who told her to meet at a commercial street in the city center. So Xia Tian hailed a taxi nearby.

About ten minutes later, Xia Tian arrived at the commercial street in the city center, where Zhang Jinbo had been waiting for a long time.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Xia Tian greeted Zhang Jinbo by the roadside, saying with a slight apology.

"It's alright, it's alright, I just arrived recently too." Zhang Jinbo smiled, seemingly still putting his arm around Xia Tian's shoulder as before, acting as if they were old friends.

Seeing this, Xia Tian just smiled and thought to himself, "This guy looks so smug, he must have hooked up with some girl again."

Thinking about this, Xia Tian couldn't help but admire Zhang Jinbo. This guy looked ordinary, was only about 1.6 meters tall, and had a poor figure. He was even a little overweight. How could he hook up with so many girls?

"Come on, let's go eat first. This meal is on me to welcome you back," Zhang Jinbo said to Xia Tian in a very generous manner.

Zhang Jinbo is 28 years old this year, which is quite old, and he is 10 years older than Xia Tian.

As they were talking, Xia Tian and the other person arrived at a restaurant. This restaurant was considered to be of a mid-range type, and since it was mealtime, there were quite a few customers inside.

Summer and Zhang Jinbo found a relatively secluded spot to sit down. He picked up the menu, placed it in front of Summer, and said, "Brother, order whatever you like, don't be shy."

"Have you struck it rich lately? You're so generous now!" Xia Tian smiled and said, "Why don't you order something? I'm fine with anything."

As she spoke, she handed the menu to Zhang Jinbo again. Just kidding, Xia Tian wouldn't actually do that, even if Zhang Jinbo was being sincere.

"I just started dating a girlfriend, and as they say, good news makes one feel great. I'm so happy." Seeing that Xia Tian was reluctant to order, Zhang Jinbo stopped refusing, picked up the menu, and ordered five dishes: two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a soup.

"You're something else! Five dishes for two people, can you even finish them?" Xia Tian teased.

"Money is meant to be spent. It doesn't matter if we can finish the food, as long as we're happy," Zhang Jinbo said. "By the way, we should have some drinks. Beer or liquor?"

Xia Tian couldn't help but sigh at Zhang Jinbo's "luxurious" lifestyle. She only had a little over two hundred yuan left, barely enough to eat, and she didn't even have a job.

But these people have it easy; they don't have to worry about not having enough money. It seems that the coaching industry is really lucrative.

"Let's not drink today. We can drink together another time. I have to look for a job this afternoon." Xia Tian shook her head and refused Zhang Jinbo's suggestion to drink beer. If it were in the past, Xia Tian would definitely drink, and she would be very happy without alcohol.

"Alright, let's call Liu Zhenxing tonight, the three of us go to a bar and have a good drink, how about it?" Zhang Jinbo said, "I heard that guy is a civil servant now, in the finance department, it's very lucrative, it's time to rip him off, hehe."

Upon hearing this, Xia Tian smiled wryly, realizing that she couldn't avoid the bar visit that night. As far as Xia Tian knew, Liu Zhenxing was a civil servant who always left work on time, unless he had to work overtime.

Soon, all the dishes on Xia Tian's table were served, and the two began to eat. During this time, Xia Tian and Zhang Jinbo chatted about trivial matters of life, but of course, they talked most about things between men and women.

During this casual conversation, Zhang Jinbo casually mentioned his experience with his ex-girlfriend Hu Xiaoqin, from dating to breaking up.

I knew about Zhang Jinbo and Hu Xiaoqin's relationship before summer, since Hu Xiaoqin was also Zhang Jinbo's student and they had studied driving together and had some interaction for a period of time.

He even heard a little about their breakup later.

Summer never knew why the two broke up.

Hearing Zhang Jinbo say it now has once again shattered Xia Tian's worldview.

It turns out that Hu Xiaoqin failed her driving test (Part 3) four times. In order to pass it on her last attempt, she pretended to be a driver with her instructor, Zhang Jinbo, and tried to use Zhang Jinbo's connections to get her driver's license smoothly.

Once she got her driver's license, Hu Xiaoqin used the excuse of going to work in another city and her ex-boyfriend wanting to get back together to openly dump Zhang Jinbo.

After listening to Zhang Jinbo recount his bumpy love story, Xia Tian couldn't help but sigh. He began to wonder if pure love still existed in today's society.

"Brother, you've really lost everything this time," Xia Tian said jokingly after a moment of reflection.

If this had happened to other friends, Xia Tian might have offered some comfort, but since it happened to Zhang Jinbo, Xia Tian knew that this was a common occurrence.

After all, Zhang Jinbo, as a coach, was only casually dating Hu Xiaoqin.

This is like a game of chess, where each side has its winners and losers.

As the saying goes, human relationships are as thin as paper, and worldly affairs are ever-changing like a game of chess.

"Sigh, don't even mention it, brother. It's all tears. I've been hunting geese all day, only to be pecked by them in the end. I've spent at least this much on her." As he spoke, Zhang Jinbo held up two fingers towards Xia Tian, ​​then added, "Luckily, I've found another girl, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to mourn this dead love."

"Hehe." Xia Tian shook his head and laughed, "You're not getting any younger. Why can't you settle down, have a proper relationship, get married, and live a stable life? Isn't that better?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jinbo's face instantly turned ugly. Xia Tian's words, unsurprisingly, struck a chord with him.

"It's not that I don't want to get married, it's just that those women have no intention of getting married at all." Zhang Jinbo's face was grim, even somewhat troubled. "In the world of love, whoever takes it seriously loses. Of course, there are definitely girls who genuinely want to get married, but most of them are just bored and want to find an honest guy to settle down with. But do you think I'm an honest guy?"
