"Aren't you afraid I'm a liar?" Skinny Monkey really was jumping around like a monkey next to Zhang Chuntao. From his unsteady hands and feet, one could tell how nervous he was.
"Is it you?" Zhang Chuntao asked back in a counter-trick, which made the skinny guy beside her burst into laughter.
"If I were a bad guy, I wouldn't have reminded you just now." Skinny Monkey took Zhang Chuntao and quietly left this noisy world.
When Zhang Chuntao returned to the ground, he suddenly felt that the whole world had become quiet.
No wonder her father didn’t want her to come to such a place. Even Zhang Chuntao herself disliked it.
"My name is Fang Xiaolong," the skinny monkey suddenly stopped and introduced himself. "But they all think I'm too skinny to be called a dragon, so they all call me Fang Xiaohou in private."
"Pfft." Zhang Chuntao immediately laughed: "Why did they change your name? They are so mean!"
"There's nothing I can do," Fang Xiaolong said, stretching his body helplessly. "They have strength in numbers, and I dare not protest."
"That won't do," Zhang Chuntao shook her head and said seriously, "This guy is easily bullied. You need to be tough! Are you still studying?"
"No, that's all." Fang Xiaolong felt a little ashamed. You know, when he told his mother that he didn't want to study, he was not as ashamed as he was today.
"Then you have to find a job and do it well. If you hang out with them every day, you will never find a wife in the future." Zhang Chuntao joked.
"I..." Fang Xiaolong was still a young boy after all. Being teased by Zhang Chuntao like that, his face immediately turned red. He said very awkwardly, "I'll go find a job. Up ahead is the dance hall I told you about."
It was the same dance hall, but when Zhang Chuntao walked in, she had a completely different experience.
There aren't that many people here, and although they are all young people, they all look much more serious.
"Ah, you're blocking me!" Zhang Chuntao suddenly grabbed Fang Xiaolong and hid behind him. "That chubby girl in front is our English teacher. I didn't expect her to come here to dance too."
Fang Xiaolong was speechless. He only knew that Zhang Chuntao had touched his body just now, which made him so surprised that he couldn't move. He even smelled the faint orange scent on Zhang Chuntao's body.
"This place is very formal, and the boss is strict. That's why Brother Long and the others don't want to come here." Fang Xiaolong stuttered.
"Well, the song here is pretty good. Do you know what it's called?"
Fang Xiaolong shook his head. Actually, he came to the dance hall to do two things.
One was to look at the beautiful girl dancing openly, but now with Zhang Chuntao by his side, he no longer looked down on anyone else.
As for the other one, he would dance along with the others, which made him feel relaxed.
As for where the music in the bar came from, he had no idea.
But now, for the first time, he listened carefully to the songs in the dance hall.
This song was sung by Lin Xuaner, but when she sang with bubbling voice, many people couldn't recognize her voice at all.
In order to sing this song, Lin Xuaner put in a lot of effort. In the end, she drank half a bottle of wine and was able to sing this psychedelic song in a drunken state.
Her drunken voice, coupled with the music video-like filming techniques and Su Yin's stunning face, made the audience watching this segment feel like they were drunk and intoxicated.
Everyone is looking for a happy and unfettered paradise
Don't panic, forget all your worries
Everyone yearns for a happy paradise, a paradise where dreams are made
There is no sadness, only fragrance in the eyes
Valley yew
Occasionally, I get drunk and make a scene
A little stimulation is also good
No matter how much trouble there is
I just want to live happily until old age.
Zhang Chuntao closed her eyes and spun around on the spot.
She thought, she liked this song and this atmosphere, this was her paradise to escape reality.
The pressure from parents, the suffocating family affection, and those annoying exams can all be thrown away!
The colorful lights shone on Zhang Chuntao's face, making her body look inflated and as if she was about to fly.
It was not until the music stopped that Zhang Chuntao woke up from her brief intoxication.
"What time is it now?" Zhang Chuntao woke up quickly. She thought she should go back, otherwise her grandfather would complain.
"It's almost eleven o'clock." Fang Xiaolong touched his nose and said, "Do you want me to take you home? Don't worry, I will take you to the intersection of Qingnian Road and not go any further."
"Huh?" Zhang Chuntao turned around. They were already walking on a deserted street, with only the bright streetlights stepping on their shadows. "How do you know where my home is?"
This time Fang Xiaolong didn't know what to say. He opened his mouth like a mute: "I, I just said it casually..."
"Tell the truth." Zhang Chuntao seemed angry.
"Okay..." Fang Xiaolong recounted what happened that day.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chuntao was not angry at all. Instead, she burst into laughter. "Really? It's a good thing you didn't get bumped into by my grandfather, otherwise he would have definitely beaten you up."
"I'm sorry." Fang Xiaolong said dejectedly, "I just, I just lost my mind for a moment. I really didn't steal anything, and I never even thought about stealing anything."
"I believe you." Zhang Chuntao laughed cheerfully. "Just drop me off here. Goodbye."
Fang Xiaolong stood in the dark shadow and didn't turn around until Zhang Chuntao's figure completely disappeared.
The lights were still on at home, so Zhang Chuntao cautiously went upstairs and took out the key. Could it be that Grandpa was still awake?
When Zhang Chuntao opened the door, she smelled the rich aroma of braised meat coming from the kitchen.
She swallowed her saliva in frustration, and then she heard her father's voice: "Are you back? I made you some braised meat. There's some meat sauce in the fridge. You can use it to make noodles."
"Um..." Zhang Chuntao walked into the kitchen and saw her father handing her a bowl of steaming braised pork noodles.
The pieces of braised meat were big and lean, and there was a fried egg with a sweet filling next to it. The bok choy used as garnish was refreshing and pleasant.
Zhang Chuntao took the bowl and slurped a mouthful of noodles before asking, "Dad, don't you have a night shift tonight?"
"Shifts are fixed, but people are alive. I've switched shifts with your Uncle Wang." My father smacked his lips and said, "I didn't think clearly about what happened during the day. Going abroad isn't necessarily a good thing. But you still have to go see your mother. After all, she's your mother."
"Yeah." Zhang Chuntao was no longer angry: "Dad, your cooking skills are really good. You should quit your job and open a noodle shop!"
"Your dad isn't that great," the father also laughed. "Don't come back so late next time. It's not safe."
