As night fell, more and more luxury cars slowly pulled up in front of the Fengting Club.
Those who got out of the car were mostly young men and women from Beijing's upper-class circles, the sons of wealthy families or officials.
Chen Xihua and her six companions, who had come by bus, had just gotten off at the opposite bus stop and were heading towards Fengting Club.
On the sixth floor of Fengting Club, in the central public area lobby, there is a wooden wine cabinet with various expensive wines on it.
At this time, groups of two or three young people were waiting for someone; or they would nod and greet acquaintances when they passed by.
On the left and right sides of the hall, there are three VIP private rooms, with lights on inside, as if they have all been reserved.
During this time, the doors to the six private rooms were opened one after another by the waiters, and guests had already gone in.
A few minutes later, Chen Xihua and his group of six entered the Fengting Clubhouse and took the elevator to the sixth floor.
"Chen Xiaowu, is this room 606? This is it, the last one on the right." Dong Xue had long legs and walked faster.
She walked a few steps ahead of the group, looked up and left and right, and easily found the private room.
When Chen Xihua and the other five arrived at the lobby on the sixth floor, they saw a waiter pointing the way at the entrance.
A male waiter in his twenties politely raised his hand and pointed to the right: "Hello, guests, room 606 is over there."
"Thanks!"
Dorm leader Xu Min replied politely.
A moment later, the six people entered the private room, and Chen Xihua was pushed and shoved by the group to sit in the middle.
She didn't pretend to refuse anything, and sat down naturally. Then she raised her chin, smiled at the group, and gestured for them to make themselves at home.
Meanwhile, another waiter was already waiting at the door.
"Hello, would you like some snacks first, and then two bottles of good wine?" Tian Tian, sitting second to Chen Xihua's right, glanced at the menu and said.
As a straightforward and unpretentious girl from Northeast China, she turned her head to look at the waiter at the door and asked if there was anything special.
“Yes, even strong liquor is fine. Our classmate Chen Xiaowu is an adult now and can drink.” Dong Xue, who is also from Northeast China, agreed.
"Yes, please bring a few of your local specialties," Liao Jiajia said with a gentle smile and a sweet voice.
"Tch!" Deng Xinyin scoffed at her, somewhat disdainful. Did Liao Jiajia think this place was a canteen for drinking and having fun?
"Sister Deng, don't eat it later!" Liao Jiajia pouted.
"So what if I eat? It's not like you're paying!" Deng Xinyin rolled her eyes.
The two started working on it again, and Chen Xihua smiled and took the menu.
She first asked the dorm leader, Xu Min, if there was anything she particularly wanted to eat. Then, she ordered a few other dishes that no one else had ordered.
The waiter noted everything down: "Okay, just a moment!" Then, he pushed open the door and went out.
In that brief moment, Chen Xihua saw the door to the private room directly opposite the main hall open, and several men walked in.
The man in the middle was wearing a black suit, and he looked to be almost 1.9 meters tall. He had straight shoulders and back, and his legs were incredibly long.
The distance was neither too far nor too close, and Chen Xihua just glanced at it casually.
Why does this look so familiar?
It was somewhat similar to before, when she had looked into that person's appearance in the newspaper in order to draw a comic; the photo was a bit blurry.
Lu Xiaoqi?
Upon thinking of this, Chen Xihua's initially amazed expression quickly returned to normal, and her interest waned.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhengjing, sitting opposite him, keenly sensed that someone had just been watching him.
However, he didn't turn his head to look. He paused for less than a second before striding into room 601.
How perceptive!
In VIP room 606, Chen Xihua tugged at the corner of her lips, thinking to herself, "This person's intuition is just as good as my second sister's."
Meanwhile, in VIP room 601.
"No, I'm telling you, Seventh Master, Old Jiang, what's going on between you two? Even young couples having a tantrum don't act like this, going on and off like this!"
After going in and out of the door a few times, Bai Feng plopped down on the sofa and leaned back. He couldn't help but have to talk about the two of them.
They thought the two were just joking around before the New Year, but they didn't expect that Seventh Master and Jiang Xiaoer really had no contact anymore.
This time, Changxing finally had the time, and the five brothers managed to get together, all to try and reconcile the two.
To everyone's surprise, the two of them arrived at Fengting Club one after the other, with Seventh Master going into room 601 and Old Jiang going into room 602.
Although there was a hidden door inside, everyone was gathered together in room 601.
But Seventh Master and Old Jiang made him, Old Xie, and Changxing walk back and forth several times from the doorway outside the two private rooms, pretending to be troubled and distressed.
"Haha, Bai Xiaosi, you're absolutely right! You used the phrase 'aloof yet close' perfectly!" The talkative Xie Jinzhou joined in the teasing.
"My uncle and Brother Jiang must have other motives!" Shen Changxing, who had been in the army for many years, had to maintain the necessary vigilance and sharpness at all times.
Therefore, it is natural to notice something unusual.
"Alright, I won't ask. As long as they don't really have a falling out, that's fine!" Bai Feng had just returned from a stroll outside when he overheard several waiters talking amongst themselves.
'Have Seventh Master Lu and Second Young Master Jiang really fallen out? Young Master Xie, Young Master Bai, and Young Master Shen, several close friends, tried to reconcile them, but it seems to have no effect; they're all still alone in their own private rooms...'
So, Bai Feng was a little unhappy just now and even gave them a good scolding, but he knew his limits and didn't say anything out loud.
——
About ten minutes later, two waiters came into room 606 and started serving drinks and food one after another.
"No, Chen Xiaowu, you also ordered drinks. Aren't you going to have some alcohol?" Tian Tian was about to pour some baijiu for the group.
She noticed Chen Xihua opening a bottle of beverage and was reluctant to ask her about it.
"Let's forget it. You guys drink. If you all get drunk, someone will have to take care of you." Chen Xihua didn't have a particular liking or disliking for drinking.
However, she can drink if the occasion really requires it, but most of the time she doesn't want to drink.
"Sweetie, among us, only you and Sister Dongxue can drink. I can't drink either, I'm allergic to alcohol!" Liao Jiajia hurriedly took the glass away from her, almost getting a shot of baijiu (Chinese liquor) poured into it.
"That's no fun, is it? Just the two of us drinking while the four of you watch?" Dong Xue raised an eyebrow and glanced around at everyone. "If we don't have a few drinks, can we say we've been to Fengting Club for food, drinks, and entertainment?"
"Then let's all drink some!" Deng Xinyin suggested mischievously. The one who said she was allergic was just being delicate, blushing, and having her heart pounding!
She wanted to see Chen Xiaowu's reaction after drinking baijiu. After all, Chen Xiaowu, at such a young age, acted calm and composed, but sometimes he would pretend to be funny.
It should be even more interesting when he's drunk; I just wonder if Chen Xiaowu will embarrass himself.
"Go ahead and drink, I'm all set!" Chen Xihua glanced up and immediately guessed what Sister Deng was thinking.
She found it amusing; who knows who might get drunk and act crazy?
Seeing that everyone wanted to drink, Xu Min and Liao Jiajia didn't raise any objections.
Over the next hour or two, Chen Xihua and her friends ate and played, and all of them drank some alcohol.
However, no one actually got drunk. After all, with five or six girls, it's best not to get completely intoxicated; a little bit is fine.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door to the private room where Chen Xihua and the others were was pushed open forcefully.
