Chapter 31 Only Children Make Choices
At the same time, in Tianlin Prefecture.
Huang Tian parked his car and took the elevator upstairs.
The fingerprint lock emitted a crisp "beep" sound, and the door opened.
The room was quiet, with only the faint sound of the central air conditioning blowing out a constant temperature airflow.
"Xin Xin?"
Huang Tian called out, but no one responded.
Walking into the living room, I saw a note on the coffee table, written in Hu Yixin's handwriting.
"Honey, I'm going to get my nails and hair done with my girlfriends. I'll be back around 6 PM. There's some washed fruit in the fridge, eat some if you're hungry~ Love you!"
A crooked heart was drawn in the back.
Huang Tian smiled, put the note back on the coffee table, took a box of chilled blueberries from the refrigerator, and leaned back on the sofa to eat them while looking at his phone.
Lin Weiwei sent a message: "The photoshoot this weekend is scheduled for 2 pm on Sunday at a studio in Zhujiang New Town. You need to prepare a few sets of simple sportswear (preferably both dark and light colors). Brand doesn't matter, but solid colors without big logos are preferred. Don't worry about the poses; the photographer and I will guide you. It's just simple and natural interaction and posing."
Huang Tian replied, "I have sportswear. Is there anything else I need to prepare in advance?"
Lin Weiwei: "No special preparation is needed, just be natural. The shoot mainly aims to create a healthy and energetic vibe. By the way, the shooting fee is 500 yuan, and we'll settle the payment on-site after the shoot, is that alright?"
Huang Tian: "No problem."
Lin Weiwei: "That's great! I'll send you the specific address later. I'm looking forward to working with Teacher Huang~ (cute)"
After ending his conversation with Lin Weiwei, Huang Tian opened Chen Fanzhi's chat window.
The last message was about him promising to take her out for rice noodle rolls the next morning.
Huang Tian: "What time do you want to leave tomorrow morning? I'll pick you up."
Chen Fanzhi quickly replied, "Is 8:30 okay? Our company starts work at 9:30, so we can get there right after we finish eating."
For working people, being able to sleep in half an hour later is a great blessing.
Huang Tian: "No problem, I'll be downstairs at 8:30 sharp."
Chen Fanzhi: "Yeah, by the way, I know a rice noodle roll shop that tastes super authentic, but it's just a small street-side shop, so the environment might not be that nice."
Huang Tian naturally understood Chen Fanzhi's concerns and replied without hesitation: "The roadside shops are the most authentic. Send me the address."
Chen Fanzhi sent a happy emoji and her location, followed by two more messages.
"Um... my mom asked me yesterday if I had a boyfriend (shy)."
"I didn't admit it, but I didn't completely deny it either... I just said she's a friend who takes good care of me. She didn't seem to believe me, and said that if there's a chance, she'd like to invite me to her house for a meal."
Huang Tian was stunned; this development was somewhat unexpected.
They're not even together yet, and they're already meeting each other's parents.
But thinking about it, it's understandable. Chen Fanzhi has never been in a relationship; she's a good girl.
Now that he's suddenly in a relationship, his parents will definitely be worried.
Huang Tian carefully chose his words: "Auntie, you're too kind. Let me prepare and choose a suitable time to visit you again."
This statement neither rejected nor immediately agreed, leaving room for maneuver.
Chen Fanzhi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Okay, no rush. I just wanted to let you know. I'll get back to work now. See you tomorrow!"
Huang Tian: "See you tomorrow."
Huang Tian put down his phone and rubbed his temples.
Hu Yixin, Chen Fanzhi, and now Lin Weiwei.
What Hu Yixin wanted was stable material security and a potential opportunity to become a full-fledged employee; she even went so far as to secretly plot to use her child to bind herself to him.
Chen Fanzhi is like a blank sheet of paper, carrying simple dreams of love and the future, but the pressure from her family is beginning to emerge behind her.
Lin Weiwei was more purposeful. On the surface, she asked for advice on financial management, but in reality, she used the filming as an opportunity to get closer to him. Her ambition was hidden beneath her polite words.
"This is nothing..."
Huang Tian muttered to himself, a slight smile playing on his lips.
With the system, he was destined never to return to the life of an ordinary person.
Wealth, women, more choices, and the troubles that come with them are all inevitable sights along the way.
Huang Tian walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the lush green Tianhe Park.
The evening sunlight bathed the city in a warm golden hue, creating a serene and beautiful scene.
Thinking about the double rebate privilege he now possessed, Huang Tian suddenly felt more confident.
As long as this privilege exists, he has unlimited trial-and-error costs.
The key is to accumulate ten million in assets as soon as possible to unlock the next privilege, which will bring about a greater qualitative change.
Suddenly, the door lock rattled.
Huang Tian turned around and saw Hu Yixin push the door open and come in.
This girl got a new hairstyle; her long, dark brown hair was permed into lazy, big waves that cascaded over her shoulders.
My nails have also been redesigned; they're a translucent nude pink with tiny glitter particles.
"Honey, I'm home!"
Hu Yixin kicked off her high heels, ran barefoot over, threw herself into Huang Tian's arms, and looked up for a kiss.
Huang Tian lowered his head and kissed her, smelling the sweet scent of shampoo and perfume mixed together.
"Your new hairstyle looks great."
Huang Tian commented with a smile.
"Right? I think so too!"
Hu Yixin happily spun around and showed off.
"My best friends all say this hairstyle suits me perfectly, making me look more feminine~"
Hu Yixin took Huang Tian's arm and excitedly began to talk about the gossip she had heard while getting her hair done that afternoon.
Which sister has changed boyfriends again? Which sister's sugar daddy is particularly generous?
Huang Tian listened absentmindedly, occasionally chiming in with a few words, but his gaze kept drifting towards the darkening sky outside the window.
The city lights came on one after another, like stars falling to earth.
Huang Tian recalled the glamorous photos in Lin Weiwei's WeChat Moments, and also the rice noodle roll shop on the street that Chen Fanzhi had mentioned.
Different worlds, different ways of living.
And now, he has the ability to navigate between them.
He even... took them all into his territory.
What do you want to eat tonight?
Huang Tian snapped out of his thoughts and casually asked.
"Hmm... I'm craving Japanese food."
Hu Yixin leaned on his shoulder, her beautiful eyes suddenly filled with anticipation.
Those upscale restaurants that she used to want to eat at but couldn't bear to part with, she can now enjoy without any worries, all with Huang Tian by her side.
The joy of being rich is fully embodied in this moment.
"Okay, go change your clothes, we'll leave right away."
"Yes, I'll be quick!"
Hu Yixin excitedly ran to the dressing room, intending to dress up nicely.
Huang Tian picked up his phone and glanced at WeChat.
Lin Weiwei sent me the detailed address for next week's shoot, and I casually replied with "OK".
Chen Fanzhi updated her WeChat Moments with a photo of succulents on her windowsill, captioned "Grow up well."
Huang Tian smiled and locked his phone, no longer troubled by the decision.
In the adult world, there are no simple rights and wrongs.
Only through constant weighing of choices can one have the desire to bear the consequences.
Only children make choices; an adult like him naturally wants them all!
