Pyramid Hanging Upside Down Chapter 35

Chapter 35

Fu Jun reached out and took off the silver-rimmed glasses on his face, folded them and put them into the inner pocket of his suit. He looked sideways at Ji Xingyuan, his sharp gaze unconcealed like a sharp blade.

“Mr. Ji, Fei Luan has already agreed to my invitation tonight, so it would be inappropriate to interfere.”

“There is no first-come, first-served rule in Alpha’s code of conduct,” Ji Xingyuan did not look at Fu Jun. “If there is really a first-come, first-served rule, you are the one who interfered.”

There was undisguised arrogance and contempt in his tone. Fu Jun knew very well that Ji Xingyuan had never taken him seriously.Even now, as long as Ji Xingyuan wants to, he can easily exile himself to a planet far away from the earth again, and can easily break the connection between himself and Qi Feiluan.

But despite this, Ji Xingyuan still stood side by side with him, waiting for Qi Feiluan to make a choice.

Fu Jun was not angered, but said: “What the two of us say is meaningless, Fei Luan…”

Ji Xingyuan and Fu Jun’s eyes were fixed on Qi Feiluan, both of them were waiting for him to make a choice.

In fact, Qi Feiluan had already thought about it. He said to Fu Jun: “Fu Jun, I’m sorry, I will transfer the money for the meal to you later.”

In a word, some people fly into the sky and some people fall into the abyss.

Ji Xingyuan’s mood suddenly lifted. He turned sideways gracefully, bent down and stretched out his hands like a gentleman, and said: “Aluan, let’s go then.”

Qi Feiluan didn’t look at Fu Jun anymore. He followed Ji Xingyuan and got into Ji Xingyuan’s car.

Qi Feiluan knew very well that the relationship between him and Fu Jun could not continue. Back then, he still had the courage and strength to change his life path, but now he no longer believes that he can live another life.

He wanted to refuse before, but Fu Jun was too considerate, and Qi’s father even let him give it a try, but Ji Xingyuan appeared in front of him, completely shattering his meager belief.

If he was a little touched and softened when he told Ji Xingyuan that he wanted to “start over” before, now there is nothing again.

Ji Xingyuan said that he could control and change, but today when he agreed to Fu Jun’s invitation and showed a little bit of intention to leave his control, Ji Xingyuan appeared in front of him again.

Everything Ji Xingyuan said was based on the fact that he was under his control.

From Qi Feiluan’s perspective, it was as if a slave owner realized that he was treating his slaves too harshly and promised the slave that he would be a good master in the future, but the slave owner was unwilling to erase the mark on the slave.

How ridiculous.

Sitting in the car, Qi Feiluan looked out the window. The sunset gradually set, the burning fire clouds in the sky slowly extinguished, and the night slowly covered the sky like a black veil.

After all, he once loved Ji Xingyuan so much, and every time he would give himself some unrealistic expectations. Every time, he would waver or become soft-hearted, and then be disappointed and heartbroken again and again.

Sometimes he really wonders why he can’t really be an object or tool. Like those AI robots, he will never waver or have any expectations.

…

The Cloud Tower is one of the landmark buildings in the capital city. Even in the capital city where there are many high-rise buildings, the Cloud Tower is one of the top three skyscraper buildings.

In this era, subways are no longer able to meet the transportation needs of megacities, so cloud rails have been built in the middle of the city.Maglev trains run on the cloud rails, and the criss-crossing tracks form an important part of the urban three-dimensional transportation system.

In addition to the public parts of the Sky Rail, some of the tracks are privately owned. Some high-end places have direct exclusive Sky Rail lines. The Cloud Tower also has such a direct line.

VIPs who want to go to the Cloud Tower can take the direct train and enjoy the beautiful scenery passing through the city mid-air as the train slowly ascends. Those who don’t want to take the direct train to the Cloud Tower can also take the luxury elevator of the Cloud Tower.

The restaurant on the top of the Cloud Tower needs to be booked at least half a month in advance, but this is nothing to Ji Xingyuan. Even if he just makes a last-minute decision, he can book the entire venue and the direct train.

Yunta Restaurant has a dress code, and what Ji Xingyuan and Qi Feiluan were wearing when they got on the train were not suitable, so they returned to Ji’s Manor and changed into formal clothes before getting on the train that went directly to Yunta Restaurant.

The train carriage is elegantly and luxuriously decorated. If it weren’t for the changing scenery outside the train window, people would think they were sitting in a palace room.

Qi Feiluan sat by the car window, looking at the changing scenery outside.

As the train slowly climbed up, they gradually separated from the main city and passed most of the buildings, and their vision suddenly broadened.

When overlooking the super-large city of the capital, you will have the illusion of seeing some kind of giant creature crawling on the ground.

The headlights of the endless vehicles on the highway converge into a river of light, just like the blood vessels and blood of a giant beast; the high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete constitute the flesh and body of the giant beast; and the people in the city are like the cells of the giant beast.

And they are slowly breaking away from this giant beast that symbolizes human civilization.

In the carriage, the tulip wall lamp carved from spar exudes a soft halo, hitting the profile of Qi Feiluan’s face below, adding a hazy and soft look to that handsome appearance.

Qi Feiluan was looking at the scenery outside the window, while Ji Xingyuan was looking at him.

The quiet carriage is like an encapsulated dream, as if whoever opens his mouth will quickly break the dream.

When the train arrived at Yun Tower, Qi Feiluan and Ji Xingyuan walked into the restaurant and sat down.

This is not the first time for both of them to come to Yunta Restaurant. They have been here before when attending banquets, but Ji Xingyuan feels that tonight’s Yunta Restaurant is more beautiful than any previous time.

Because it is located at the top of the Cloud Tower, the overall space of the restaurant is not boxy. Its roof converges upward into a cone shape, which not only increases the height, but also gives people a sense of light space that goes straight into the sky.

There are floor-to-ceiling glass windows on all sides. Looking out from the window not only overlooks the entire brightly lit city, but also gives you a romantic and dreamy feeling of reaching out to grasp the stars.

For the first time in so many days, Ji Xingyuan’s mood was so high.

“Aluan, I’m very happy.”

From the moment he learned that Qi Feiluan agreed to Fu Jun’s invitation, he felt disbelief, depression, fear, and anxiety… to now he feels happy, and it feels like this to be completely affected by another person.

Moreover, for Ji Xingyuan, Qi Feiluan chose herself between Fu Jun and him, which is a good sign.

Ji Xingyuan has never tried to lower his posture for anyone, nor has he ever competed with anyone for someone, nor has he tried how to love someone. These are all new experiences for him.

Qi Feiluan, who was sitting opposite Ji Xingyuan, was eating quietly. The chef at Yunta Restaurant was worthy of being a top chef and the ingredients he used were of the highest quality. He was listening to what Ji Xingyuan said, but whether Ji Xingyuan was happy or not was not as important as the bite of steak he ate.

Qi Feiluan’s indifference and silence gradually cooled down Ji Xingyuan’s intense emotions. Ji Xingyuan asked: “Aluan, aren’t you happy?”

Qi Feiluan gently put down the tableware in his hand. The metal and the porcelain plate made almost no sound when they touched each other. He said, “Why do you ask me if I am happy? If you expect me to be happy, then I will be happy.”

As he spoke, he raised the corners of his mouth and gave Ji Xingyuan an unsmiling smile.

When Ji Xingyuan saw this smile, he froze in his seat almost inch by inch from his body to his arms and fingertips.

Ji Xingyuan froze there for a long time, until a hint of ferociousness opened a crack in his frozen expression. He switched to the daily mode of dealing with enemies and competitors in almost a second, and forced himself to put on that indifferent mask.

“Don’t laugh like that.” Ji Xingyuan squeezed out these words and stared at Qi Feiluan, “Did you reject Fu Jun and choose me because you want to date me?”

Ji Xingyuan emphasized the word “want” because he had just suddenly realized a possibility, a possibility that was very likely to shatter all his restraint these days.

“Yes.” Qi Feiluan replied simply, “If this is the answer Mr. Ji wants.”

Ji Xingyuan still maintained the frozen motion of holding the tableware. This motion seemed a bit funny because it lasted too long.

The next moment, Ji Xingyuan slammed the tableware in his hand onto the table. The metal knife hit the white porcelain plate with a crisp sound, and then collapsed to the side.

There were only two of them in the empty and open Yunta Restaurant at the moment. The sound of “dang” was amplified by the open space, like thunder on the ground.

Ji Xingyuan’s usual aloof indifference gradually shattered, revealing the irrepressible ferocity and anger underneath. He looked at Qi Feiluan as if he wanted to eat him.

“Qi Feiluan…you are really, really kind.”

He thought he was the chosen one, the winner in the competition with Fu Jun. This is how Alpha received education, the loser loses everything, while the winner has everything.

Qi Feiluan personally selected him as the winner. When he was excited and wanted to get the reward, Qi Feiluan told him that the reward did not exist at all.

His joy, his joy, his joy, and those previous emotions, seemed like a joke at the moment.

He thought that Qi Feiluan chose him between Fu Jun and his invitation out of his own intention and initiative.

But Qi Feiluan’s words were equivalent to telling him that Qi Feiluan once again regarded his invitation for a date as an order.

Even Ji Xingyuan can guarantee that if he orders Qi Feiluan to be happy now, Qi Feiluan can really show “happy” to him.

What does this mean… It means that if Ji Xingyuan pursues Qi Feiluan, confesses to him or even proposes to him in the future, Qi Feiluan will be able to regard all of this as an order and even cooperate with him to show that he “loves” him.

How can Ji Xingyuan believe in the future that Qi Feiluan in front of him is really happy or loves him, instead of just obeying his orders and acting out?

“You can’t do this to me.”

He falsely claimed to be a winner who should have everything, but in the end he was just a loser with nothing.
