New episode chapter 01: Little Fool

Jiang Kai was awakened by the sound. He was leaning against the piano, holding a paintbrush dipped in paint in his hand.

The voice continued, making unreasonable demands of his lover:

"You'er, I've recently seen a guitar that I like. It's not expensive, only 9,000 yuan."

"My classmates all have them, can you buy one for me too?"

“You dance at the bar, so you get a commission from selling alcohol, right? Sell a few more bottles so I can make up the money for my guitar.”

A hesitant voice rang out, "Okay, I'll try harder tonight. I only have a little over seven thousand left."

The words sounded somewhat familiar to Jiang Kai.

"Then give it to me first, and give it to me again once you've scraped together the two thousand. I'd better hurry, I need it this week."

"good."

Xiao You, wearing faded jeans and a cheap white T-shirt from a street stall, took out her smartphone with a cracked screen and transferred the money to Xu Xi, one hop at a time.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Brother Xi, when are we getting married? I'm already 21."

Disgust rose in Xu Xi's eyes, and after a while she said, "Wait until I graduate."

"Brother Xi, are you disgusted with me?"

Xiaoyou blushed and said, "If you don't like me working at a bar, I'll quit."

Xu Xi received the money and seemed somewhat impatient. "What else can you do if you quit?"

Xiao You seems to be a little injured.

Xu Xi comforted him again, "It's not bad if you earn ten thousand or so a month just by wearing a short skirt and swaying your waist. I don't mean to look down on you. Graduates like us only earn five or six thousand a month sitting in an office."

Xu Xi's phone rang, and he answered it again. "Coming, I'll be right there."

Xu Xi looked at Xiao You and said, "I'm going to the club. Hurry up and get the money and transfer it to me. By the way, don't come looking for me at school unless it's absolutely necessary."

Xiao You stared at Xu Xi with wide eyes, "Why? I wanted to see you."

"Oh, I'm busy. You might not be able to find me even if you look for me. I'll come find you. Okay, go home early. Don't you have to work tonight?"

"All right."

Xiao You watched Xu Xi's retreating figure, then looked somewhat forlornly at his shadow on the floor.

He started working at a young age, and all his savings over the years went to Xu Xi, who came from the same orphanage. It seemed to have become a habit, and he took good care of Xu Xi, making her look glamorous.

He himself was reluctant to even eat meat. He didn't really know if he loved Xu Xi, but he and Xu Xi grew up in the same orphanage and were used to relying on each other. It was like family, and they couldn't be separated anymore.

It's like if he got paid, he wouldn't know what to do with it if Xu Xi wasn't given it to him.

It's like getting used to not wanting to eat meat, so you stop liking it as much.

But Xiao You felt that Xu Xi seemed to be getting further and further away from him. Could it be because of the matter of him selling Chu? But he clearly kept it from Xu Xi.

At that time, Xu Xi suffered a fracture, the driver who caused the accident fled the scene, and Xiao You needed 50,000 yuan for surgery. He had no choice but to find a sugar daddy after being persuaded by his friends.

The first patron, surnamed Gu, gave him 200,000 yuan to serve another patron surnamed Jiang. He didn't get paid from the second patron and lost more than 1,000 yuan after two nights of service.

Xiao You was terrified of the other party's fighting power. On the third day, he quickly pulled up his pants and ran away without leaving any contact information. Anyway, he didn't want to meet that person again in the vast sea of ​​people.

After hearing these words, Jiang Kai sighed and stood up from behind the piano.

He looked serious, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes. "What era are we living in? There are still people who are this stupid. Don't tell me you're so stupid that you gave all your savings to that guy who only sees you as an ATM."

Xiao You seemed to be frightened; even after three years, his legs still went weak when he heard that voice.

"Look at you, why are you crying?"

Xiao You retreated in a panic.

Jiang Kai said with great interest, "It really is you."

Jiang Kai took a step in this direction.

Xiao You seemed to be frozen in place by a spell, but her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, which evoked pity, were filled with panic.

His eyes had already subconsciously looked down, and his guard suddenly rose.

Jiang Kai strode towards him with a half-smile, "What are you looking at? Missing it?"

"Don't come any closer."

Xiao You was startled for a moment, then suddenly took a step back and repeated, "Don't come any closer."

"Who was that person just now?"

"Boy friend."

Jiang Kai stopped and looked down at Xiao You. "Don't be afraid, I don't touch people with boyfriends. But little thing, your boyfriend is no good. You'd better use your brain, or you'll be sold out and still be counting the money for him."

When Xiaoyou gets angry, she puffs out her cheeks, but her angry expression makes her look like a harmless little kitten.

"Brother Xi is great, you're the liar!"

After Xiaoyou finished speaking, she glared at Jiang Kai and turned to leave.

It's as if she doesn't want to have any interaction with him.

Jiang Kai shrugged nonchalantly, but as he walked back to his office, he passed by the music classroom and saw the music club members having a gathering there.

He heard Xu Xi's voice, "You look quite good today."

Jiang Kai turned his head and saw Xu Xi, as if deliberately flirting, leaning close to the ear of a clean-looking boy, saying the sentence above, and then whispering something else in her ear.

The boy who was being flirted with turned red in the ears and pushed Xu Xi away.

More than ambiguous, but not quite lovers.

Jiang Kai clicked his tongue, regretting not recording it on his phone to show that idiot.

Zui Sheng.

Xiao You wore a mask and a short skirt, her legs were long, straight and beautiful, and her exposed waist was soft and alluring. She hooked one foot on a steel pipe, jumped up and spun around, then landed on one foot, and danced a hot dance.

He came down sweating profusely, rested backstage for a bit, and then took the drinks menu to prepare to promote the drinks.

Jiang Kai stood on the railing and looked down. He immediately spotted the slender figure weaving through the crowd on the first floor. It turned out that he worked here.

Jiang Kai was a regular at Zuisheng, but he always went to the VIP area upstairs and never paid attention to the first floor, which was Xiaoyou's area.

He performs pole dancing on stage; that's his job, usually one or three or four times a day.

Then they would go and promote drinks to the new customers.

Judging from how frequently he goes back and forth, he is extremely enthusiastic about this job.

Jiang Kai didn't mean to look down on this person. After all, given Xiao You's appearance, if he had just put a little effort into getting into the VIP area, he wouldn't have been running around on the first floor, sweating profusely.

It seems there was more to the story three years ago.

He seemed genuinely in love with his boyfriend, but unfortunately, his sincerity was wasted. Jiang Kai used to think of Xiao You as the kind of person who would do anything for money, but now he discovers that beneath her facade lies a passionate heart, which he finds somewhat amusing.

Some people, though living in the sex industry, remain clean and rely on themselves; others, though university students from prestigious institutions, possess a filthy, ruthless heart.

"What are you looking at?"

A friend came over and asked Jiang Kai, "You're so focused."

Jiang Kai tilted his head back and finished the wine in his glass. "It's nothing."

Jiang Kai glanced at the busy figures in the crowd again, then turned and left.

His friend leaned against the railing, looked down for a while, and set his sights on the young woman dressed as a waitress.

Although Jiang Kai has faded out of the business world and found himself a proper 9-to-5 job as a university teacher, he uses his family's money to eat, drink, and have fun.

But Jiang Kai's two older brothers are both industry leaders, so the Jiang family has a high status.

Everyone wants to curry favor with them.

The friend couldn't help but have a little scheme. He called the manager over and whispered something in his ear.

Then he said, "Go."

The manager nodded.

Xiao You stood there introducing the drinks. He had his own selfish motives and wanted to earn enough money to give to Xu Xi as soon as possible. Seeing that Xu Xi was in a hurry, he promoted the drinks that had high commission rates.

He said the same thing this time.

One of the wealthy women, dressed in jewels, placed her hand on Xiao You's waist and said, "Little brother, the commission you're selling this wine must be very high."

Xiao You has been working at the bar for several years and has seen all kinds of customers. He usually handles these kinds of customers with ease, and even after avoiding the person's hand, he still has a smile on his face.

"Sis, if there are a few of you playing, how about opening two bottles?"

The rich woman stood up, put her arm around Xiaoyou's shoulder, and a strong, pungent perfume wafted from her.

She whispered in Xiaoyou's ear, "Then let's open two bottles. We'll do whatever you say, little brother. What's the price, little brother? Come with your sister tonight."

"I have a boyfriend. You're so pretty, don't make things difficult for me."

Xiao You forced herself to push the person away, then turned and walked towards the bar while writing a form.

Gou Tianchao walked over and said, "You have too much of a temper. If it were me, I would have broken her arm. Doesn't she know her age? Still thinking about picking up men outside? So what if she has a little money? I really can't stand customers like that!"

Gou Tian is a newcomer who works part-time here at night. With his height of 185 cm and good looks, he has a good personality and gets along well with everyone.

Even someone like Xiaoyou, who doesn't like making friends, could chat with him for a while.

Xiao You smiled shyly, "We're all in the service industry, you get used to it. Anyway, the security here is very strong, so customers don't dare to cause trouble. It's just about taking advantage of the situation."

"But we can't just let her have it for free. Her fleshy hands are disgusting to touch. You're too kind."

"It wasn't a waste of time. We sold two bottles of wine, so we got a commission of one hundred."

Gou Tian clicked his tongue, "Have you been in some kind of trouble lately? Seeing how hard you're working, how about I lend you some money?"

"No need. You spend money on your studies too. You're new here and don't have any sales experience. Keep your salary for yourself. I'll earn it in two or three days."

Someone called out to Gou Tian, ​​and Gou Tian immediately went to do so.

Xiao You went to get the wine and deliver it when the supervisor suddenly came over and said, "Xiao You, we need a waiter in the VIP area. You can fill in, and the commission will be yours."
