It's a bit of a waste to only use the top courtesan in Chapter Two for chatting.
The spicy liquid burned in my throat and numbed my brain.
One cup after another, today I'm going to drink until I'm oblivious to the world.
Soon, Luo Yan's vision began to blur, and her head felt heavy. She had no choice but to lean on the glass and try to tell whether there were three or four ice cubes in it, all the while cursing her life with all sorts of buffs stacked up.
Life is short, fill your cup to the brim...
"Hey beautiful, drinking alone must be lonely, right? Want a few of us to keep you company?"
Luo Yan frowned and struggled to lift her head. She saw three sleazy-looking men standing in front of her, wearing tight floral shirts and with brightly colored hair. They were smiling at her in a greasy and lewd manner.
"Do you know why the spider demon only eats Tang Sanzang?" Luo Yan burped dismissively. "Because you little demons aren't even qualified to be takeout."
The blond-haired man grumbled, "Pretending to be high and mighty, wearing a short skirt in the middle of the night, aren't you just trying to hook up with men?"
Luo Yan glanced at him; if she could, she would have already given this blond-haired guy the middle finger with her eyes.
"You came out in the middle of the night wearing pants, weren't you trying to protect your own?"
The blond-haired man blinked his intelligent eyes, and it took him several seconds to understand Luo Yan's meaning. Instead of being angry, he laughed.
"Pretty fiery temper, huh? We like spicy food!" the blond-haired guy said, reaching out to put his arm around her shoulder.
A strong smell of smoke and cheap cologne hit Luo Yan, making her stomach churn. The nausea overwhelmed her drunkenness, and she abruptly shook off the hand, yelling, "I told you to get lost! What kind of dogs can't understand human language?!"
"Damn it! You're asking for it!"
The blond-haired man was enraged, and the other two surrounded her, pulling at her arms from both sides.
The barbecue stall owner huddled behind the stove, not daring to utter a sound. Other diners glanced at him, but no one stepped forward.
Luo Yan struggled desperately. The alcohol made her weak and limbs weak. Overwhelmed by fear and anger, she felt as if she had fallen into a sticky swamp.
"Let go! Or I'll call the police!"
"Hey, why don't you try signing up?"
Suddenly, a hand with distinct knuckles gripped the restless wrist of the blond-haired man from the side.
"A few grown men harassing a drunk girl?"
Luo Yan and the three thugs turned their heads at the same time. Under the neon lights, the man was wearing a well-fitting black shirt with the collar casually and loosely open. The sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his arms with prominent veins. What was most eye-catching was his profile, which looked like it had been cut out of a fashion magazine cover. No, it looked like an AI-generated handsome man.
Does drinking too much give you a built-in beauty filter? She never thought Wu Yuzhou was this good-looking before.
Luo Yan blinked hard and leaned closer to get a better look. Through her blurry vision, she saw the owner of the face in front of her with clear black and white eyes looking at her drunken state. In the noisy and chaotic environment of the street, he seemed out of place and detached from the world.
The blond-haired man tried to break free, but his wrist felt like it was being clamped by an iron vise, causing him to grimace in pain: "Who the hell are you? What business is it of yours!"
The man tightened his grip, and the blond-haired man howled in pain. The other two thugs, though blustering, barked and threatened to attack.
"Aren't you going to get lost?" The man paused, his eyes sweeping over them. "Waiting to call the police?"
The three thugs exchanged glances, roughly weighing the odds of a direct confrontation, or perhaps fearing that escalating the situation would actually attract the police. In the end, they released Luo Yan while cursing and left dejectedly.
With the danger over, Luo Yan's tense nerves relaxed. Alcohol and lingering fear took hold at the same time, causing her legs to buckle and her head to collide with the man's chest. Instinctively, she raised her hand to block, feeling the firm yet supple pectoral muscles beneath her palm.
I looked up, feeling dizzy, and the orange streetlights shone directly on my face, making it even more beautiful than when I glimpsed it in the chaos.
Male models?! The quality... is absolutely top-tier in high-class nightclubs!
Hey? Perfect! It would be such a waste to use the top courtesan just for chatting!
Wu Yuzhou and Yang Xin, that scumbag and bitch, are probably doing something inappropriate for children somewhere right now. Why should she be the only one suffering here? Well, she's going to find the most handsome guy and make them furious!
Thinking of this, Luo Yan raised her face, flushed from the alcohol, and curled her lips, still stained with oil and cumin. She tried to imitate Xu Jingfei's smile, putting on what she thought was a charming and alluring one. "How can there be such a handsome man...and a good physique too, he has...abs? Hehe..." She grinned foolishly and reached out her hand, aiming precisely at the man's abdomen. "I...just passed the civil service exam! A civil servant position at the Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism! A genuine iron rice bowl! Monthly...can I get a 20% discount?"
The male model dodged the outstretched claws as if he had been electrocuted, saying, "You've had too much to drink; it's dangerous for you to be out like this."
Just then, it sounded like someone was calling him from behind, "Jiang Sui, what's wrong?"
The man turned his head and said something in that direction, then turned back and was shocked to see that Luo Yan's face was almost touching his, her eyes were sticky, and he froze on the spot, not daring to move.
Jiang Sui? Real name?
Luo Yan reached out and pinched the man's chin, trying to cling to him like an octopus, muttering incoherently, "Not a monthly subscription is fine, just spend one night with me... just one night... the price... hiccup! It's negotiable..."
Jiang Sui frowned and took out her phone. "I'll call a car to take you back. Where do you live?"
Luo Yan suddenly tilted to the side, her head slumping onto Jiang Sui's shoulder with a thud. He smelled of cedar mixed with mint, and she took two deep breaths. It smelled so good that she could hardly resist.
"Hello, hello!"
Jiang Sui extended a finger with some disdain and carefully pushed the head away. "Tell me where you live before you faint."
"I live..."
As Luo Yan spoke, she suddenly seemed to realize something and her eyes widened sharply. "Why...why should I tell you? Who knows if you're...a bad guy?"
"You were just asking for a monthly subscription, but now you've remembered this."
Jiang Sui looked at Luo Yan's horribly red eyes, and helplessly helped her sit down. He then turned and snapped his fingers, "Boss, beer."
"You too... drown your sorrows in alcohol?"
Luo Yan tilted her head and watched Jiang Sui roll up his sleeves, open a bottle of beer with a flourish, and gulp it down.
Jiang Sui gave her a disgruntled look. "Is Yu'an, a place where you're the only one allowed to have worries?"
Luo Yan picked up her wine glass: "It's fate that brings together people from all walks of life. Come on, tonight... let's drink until we drop!"
"At such a young age, you've already surpassed 90% of your peers in passing the civil service exam. What worries could possibly make you drink alone on the street late at night?"
Jiang Sui popped a peanut into his mouth, and seeing that Luo Yan was sitting swaying from side to side, he reached out and helped her up.
Luo Yan forced herself to sit up straight, sniffed, and tried her best to hold back her tears.
She downed the drink in one gulp, slammed the glass heavily on the table, and then grabbed a skewer of lamb kidneys and stuffed them into her mouth as if to vent her frustration.
"The person I like... proposed to my best friend, and asked me to be a witness... Best friend? Haha... She always knew... In the end, she misplaced her affections! My mom... changed boyfriends who are only two years older than me, and said I was... the mistake of her life... In one day, family, friendship, love, all of them... were fed to the dogs! I declare that from now on, I am... retiring from the dating scene... and dedicating myself to the Party!"
Luo Yan held up the empty wine glass, swaying slightly. Her gaze fell on the dark gray suit jacket on the back of the chair, and then she noticed the silver cufflinks on Jiang Sui's shirt cuffs, which were obviously expensive luxury items.
"Actually... I don't discriminate against your profession. Making money isn't shameful... In this world, isn't it just... people laugh at poverty but not prostitution?"
Seeing Luo Yan's face full of understanding, Jiang Sui frowned slightly but remained silent, his eyes revealing a meaningless expression.
"Shouldn't you be at work at this time? Did you run off to slack off because you didn't want to serve some weird rich woman? ...Why am I the only one talking? Tell me... what's bothering you?"
Jiang Sui finished his beer and leaned back in his chair.
"Just like you, I was hated by the person closest to me for many years, and then abandoned by the person I loved most."
"I hate you... I abandoned you... Why?"
"Because I'm a bad guy, didn't you say that?"
"..."
Luo Yan was stunned. Jiang Sui's sudden words instantly sobered her up. She stared at the man in front of her, looking him over incredulously for a long time before chuckling.
"That can't be... Your appearance reflects your heart. What kind of villain looks like you?"
"......."
Jiang Sui suddenly stood up, and the next second, Luo Yan felt a darkness before her eyes as the dark gray suit jacket was pulled down over her head, carrying the man's cool and refreshing scent, instantly wrapping her up completely.
Luo Yan frantically thrashed about inside the suit jacket, shouting, "Hey, are you kidnapping me? I...I screamed!"
"Save your energy."
Jiang Sui's teasing voice came through the fabric of his suit. Then, Luo Yan felt herself being half-carried and half-embraced and stuffed into a car that smelled of fresh leather. The car door slammed shut.
As the car started, Luo Yan struggled to stick half her head out. The light from the streetlamp flashed past her hazy, drunken eyes, and she abruptly turned her head back.
Holy crap, that guy was drunk driving? Was he trying to take her down with him?!
That won't do! She just passed the civil service exam and hasn't even had a chance to enjoy her new life yet. She doesn't want to die!
Thinking of this, she pounced like a hungry tiger, shouting, "Don't drink and drive, don't drive after drinking... If you want to die... don't take me with you... think of your parents... even ants try to survive..."
"Let go of me!"
Jiang Sui's voice was full of frustration. She shoved the frantic Luo Yan away, causing her to fall heavily into the back seat. She scrambled to her feet and was about to stop her when she saw a valet wearing a vest sitting in the driver's seat. The young man was looking at her with a look of horror, while Jiang Sui, the owner of the car, was sitting in the passenger seat, calmly straightening the shirt that she had wrinkled.
In Luo Yan's chaotic mind, her thoughts wandered freely.
Thankfully, this male model is at least legally conscious, huh? This car... it's quite expensive. I think Luo Muyang owns one too? Oh no, several... how many exactly?
Before he could even recall the exact number, his head lolled to the side, and he passed out completely drunk.
