"Are you hesitating?"
Xiaohua stared at Zhang Chuntao in confusion, as if she wanted to open her head and see what was inside.
"No way, don't you really want to go abroad? Going abroad, what a good opportunity! I still want to go out, but unfortunately my family has no money and I have no brains!" Xiaohua analyzed herself with great regret.
"Don't you still have Zhang Xin?" Zhang Chuntao said sarcastically, "I thought you couldn't bear to part with him!"
"He's not bad. But after going abroad, I can still date a handsome blond foreigner. How great! Taozi, you don't think Zhang Xin and I will be together forever, do you?"
"I, I didn't!" Zhang Chuntao immediately changed the subject: "Do you think I should go?"
"Go ahead, it won't be a loss for you. Going abroad, I didn't know I'd have the chance to go abroad again in my lifetime. Anyway, your mom and stepfather are rich, so just spend as much as you want, what are you worrying about!" Xiaohua's tone was full of envy.
"By the way," Zhang Chuntao was a little convinced, but she instinctively didn't want to discuss this topic anymore. So she changed the subject: "Is that dance hall you went to before still open tonight?"
"Of course!" Xiaohua immediately forgot everything she had said before when she mentioned the dance hall and burst into laughter. "More people are going there during the summer vacation! It's perfect. Going now won't affect your studies. Let's go together tonight?"
"Okay." To say Zhang Chuntao loved the dance hall would be a lie. She simply felt she needed to be a bit unconventional to fight her parents, who always tried to control her. "Meet at the intersection outside my house that night."
Xiaohua smiled happily, but she didn't get carried away. Instead, she asked cautiously, "Your dad won't find out, will he? If uncle finds out, I'm sure he'll scold us all!"
"No, he has to work the night shift tonight." Zhang Chuntao said perfunctorily, "And even if he knew, what can I do? I'm 16 years old, not a little girl!"
The nights in small cities are not as lively as those in Shanghai and Beijing.
By nine o'clock, there were almost no people on the streets, except for a few young people in slippers and shorts wandering around the night market.
It was actually quite dangerous for a girl as beautiful as Zhang Chuntao to be out on the street like this. Her presence was like dropping a white swan into a murky pond; it was hard not to notice her.
"Don't be afraid," Zhang Xin said. He had already dropped out of school and was reportedly going to a junior college. He was now more mature and had become more familiar with the people in society. "With me here, no one dares to mess with you."
Xiaohua, however, skillfully took Zhang Xin's hand and leaned her head on the man's shoulder, looking like the heroines in TV dramas.
"Taozi, you are so beautiful. You are the center of attention wherever you go. It's a pity that we are in a small city, otherwise there will definitely be scouts looking for you."
Zhang Chuntao joked, "I can't do that. I can't speak. But you're quite suitable for acting."
As they were talking, another tall and thin boy walked towards them.
Zhang Xin, who originally had some of the aura of a big brother, immediately bent down and moved closer in a somewhat flattering manner.
At this time, Zhang Chuntao deliberately glanced at Xiaohua's expression and found that she was very calm. It was obvious that she had already known the other party's identity and way of getting along.
"Brother Long, you're here!" Zhang Xin is flexible and suitable for socializing.
There were two people standing next to Brother Long, one was tall and fat, and the other was as thin as a monkey.
The only thing these three people had in common was that after seeing Zhang Chuntao, they found it difficult to control their gaze.
No one could take their eyes off Zhang Chuntao, as if she were attached to a magnet.
"Hello," Brother Long ignored Zhang Xin and walked over. "My name is Wu Long. Just follow them and call me Brother Long."
Zhang Chuntao didn't say anything. She just went to the dance hall to dance, not to meet relatives.
Xiaohua coughed and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Brother Long, my sister is a good student. This is her first time experiencing this kind of situation, so she's a little nervous!"
The skinny monkey also spoke up: "Brother Long, let's go first, otherwise the good places will be taken away by San Pao's people."
"That's right." Brother Long looked at Zhang Chuntao deeply, as if he was looking at something in his pocket. "I'll talk to you later."
Skinny Monkey was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat. He didn't expect that he would see Zhang Chuntao again.
That’s right, he was the boy who hid under Zhang Chuntao’s sofa that day and watched her change her shoes.
The beautiful girl who was as beautiful as a dream appeared before his eyes again.
"You almost got into trouble just now!" Xiaohua said quietly, "Oh, it's my fault. I shouldn't have brought you to see them!"
Zhang Chuntao glanced at Zhang Xin, who was walking in front, and said coldly, "It was Zhang Xin's idea, it has nothing to do with you. But I think you were right today. You can't stay with certain people forever."
Xiaohua understood what Zhang Chuntao was hinting at. She sighed and said nothing more.
But Zhang Chuntao did not notice the skinny monkey, nor did she connect him with the thief that day.
The dance hall they went to was very large and very hidden when viewed from the street outside.
The advantage of this is that this dance hall makes it convenient for all kinds of people to come here to hang out and do things that are not decent.
If the police really came, someone at the door would immediately rush down to give the news.
When Zhang Chuntao walked into this rumbling, brightly lit underground world, her heart beat as fast as the drum.
She regretted it.
This bizarre world is not suitable for her.
Xiaohua was carried into the dance floor by Zhang Xin, and they were dancing to the music.
Zhang Chuntao had no choice but to be squeezed here and there, and finally she was squeezed to sit at a table in the corner.
A kind-looking man wearing glasses came over and brought two glasses of water. "You look young. Is this your first time here? It's hot, isn't it? Have a drink!"
Just as Zhang Chuntao was about to hold the cup, a dark hand blocked his way.
"Don't drink," the skinny monkey came over at some point and said, "Sorry, I'm her friend."
The man seemed to know Skinny Monkey and Brother Long behind him, and left unwillingly.
"The water might be drugged. You shouldn't have come here." The skinny monkey whispered.
"Thank you." Zhang Chuntao broke out in a sweat. "Then can you take me away?"
"Sure!" Skinny Monkey said with courage, "I know a bar that's much more formal than this one. Do you want to go?"
