Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Surrounded by a dozen shirtless handsome guys...
When Xin Tong stepped into the villa, the dense voices in the hall stopped instantly.
The villa was magnificent, and everyone present was dressed in suits and tuxedos.
This is San Francisco, with its narrow peninsula, rugged coastline, and the perpetual breeze of Northern California. The Yu family's son had moved into a new home and held a small gathering in his Pacific Heights villa. Almost everyone in the second-generation North American community was in attendance.
"Xin Tong!"
"Is it really Xin Tong...she's here too?"
"So she is Xin Tong? The hopeless idiot from the Morikawa Group?"
"What is she doing here? Did Master Yu invite her as well?"
The dense discussion mixed with the crowd's gazes surrounded Xin Tong.
But she acted as if nothing had happened, wearing high heels, smiling casually with her red lips, and even tiptoed and winked at the crowd who were pointing at her. She really deserved a beating.
Yu Chengjin, the host of the cocktail party, walked towards her with a gentle smile on his handsome face. He asked her what she was here for, "Ms. Xin Tong, what are you doing..."
Xin Tong and Yu Chengjin are not familiar with each other.
The two people just happened to go to school in San Francisco. Yu Chengjin attended a prestigious university and had a great career, while Xin Tong just went to a fake university. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth.
Most of the guests at this party are second-generation elites from the same circle. Although the atmosphere is relaxed, a well-known playboy like Xin Tong is definitely not among the invited guests.
Since she is not familiar with the host of the cocktail party, why did she come here today?
——"You're not a nice person to have a party and not invite me!"
Yu Chengjin was a little confused by Xin Tong's self-assured and familiar tone. But he quickly realized that this young lady, who spent her days enjoying the bright lights and feasting, probably just wanted to attend the party. As for who threw it, she didn't care.
"Seeing is believing." Yu Chengjin quickly responded, "Welcome."
Not only did he not show any disdain, but he smiled gently and elegantly and said some welcoming words.
But Xin Tong didn't even look at him. Her round eyes were fixed on the swimming pool in the yard outside the window. She even asked shyly if she could be a male model.
"..." Yu Chengjin recalled the many rumors he had heard about Miss Xin Tong's "excessive debauchery" and was silent for a second. "I'll have someone call the club owner right away."
Miss Xin finally smiled and ran towards the swimming pool outside the yard.
"Master, do you really want to call a male model..." The secretary who had been observing the expressions for a long time stepped forward hesitantly, but saw Yu Chengjin looking at the back of the man who was already having fun in the middle of the grass, and nodded helplessly.
"Yeah. Yell."
As a member of the second-generation North American social circle, Yu Chengjin often heard rumors about Xin Tong, a renowned "playboy." However, unlike the others, he didn't shun Xin Tong like the plague; instead, he treated her like a guest of equal status.
"He Chuan only has this one daughter, so it's always a good idea to get closer to her. Besides," Master Yu's eyes flashed with interest, "she's actually quite interesting."
Mr. Yu was extremely efficient, and the people he had called arrived quickly. Xin Tong lay on a lounge chair by the pool, and a group of handsome men formed two teams and greeted her one by one.
Fair skin, dark skin, thin skin, thick skin, long hair, short hair, dark complexion, light complexion... Her eyes were dazzled, and her mouth never relaxed from the beginning, her eyes wide open with a smile, "Good! Good!"
The handsome guys who were closest to her were stared at by her burning gaze, and they were quite shy, lowering their eyes and smiling sheepishly. Seeing the shyness of the handsome guys made Xin Tong's blood boil, and she jumped up from the recliner.
“Play music!”
The drum beats blared, and inside and outside the room were two different worlds. Xin Tong mingled with a crowd of handsome male models, enjoying herself to the fullest. All the male models were topless, but Xin Tong remained fully covered and neatly dressed. All the male models knew who they were serving and did their best to please the sponsor. The poolside was a paradise on earth, full of lights, wine, and women.
Looking inside, the chill atmosphere had vanished, and the second-generation members seemed to have no time to chat anymore. Xin Tong's arrival immediately stole all the attention from the gathering.
The party was casual to begin with, but the atmosphere of the outdoor pool party centered around Xin Tong was so great that some people gradually became unable to sit still and began to go out and join in.
"Tsk. That's no big deal."
Young Master Zhang rolled his eyes and watched Xin Tong spray the crowd with a toy money pistol by the pool. Colorful cash was flying everywhere, and many people were trying to grab it. He sneered, "Just like little brats, trying to grab toy money to play with."
The person next to him didn't say anything for several seconds, with a strange look on his face.
"That looks like a real ticket."
"One hundred US dollars."
Young Master Zhang: "..."
The two pistols sprayed money continuously for at least ten minutes, and Xin Tong's arms were tired from holding them up.
There was loud music and people were gathering around. She threw away the gun that hadn't been used up yet, and the male models nearby quickly rushed to the grass to grab the toy gun.
She immediately got out of the crowd, found a place with fewer people, and lay down on a chair to rest her eyes. Oh my god, having too many handsome guys is also a trouble. It's so tiring to be surrounded by a group of people!
There happened to be a few young and beautiful girls chatting next to where she was lying. Because of the angle, no one saw her lying below, and no one knew that she had heard their conversation clearly.
"Aiden is coming to North America? When?"
"Just two weeks ago! He came to Los Angeles to judge a street dance competition!"
"Is this true? Where did you get the information?"
"I got into a hip-hop competition news group, and the news there is authentic! I even went to watch that competition, and he was sitting on the judges' panel. OMG, he's so handsome!"
Several girls were lost in memories of the mysterious man and began to talk about how cool, handsome, and beautiful his dancing was.
"Isn't it rumored in the industry that he and Yu Chengjin, the son of the Yu family, are good friends? What do you think? Will today..."
When the girls heard this, they became excited instantly.
Everyone knows that tonight is the home game of the young master of the Yu family, and this villa is the property under the name of Yu Chengjin.
Tonight is the moving party hosted by the young master of the Yu family. All of the young master's friends are present. As a good friend of the young master of the Yu family, will Aiden also be there?
A girl looked around and quickly cooled down.
"Forget it. I've seen several groups of people since the party started, but I haven't seen him. He's so mysterious, I guess he wouldn't come to an occasion like this."
"...That's true. He usually doesn't like to talk to people."
The other girl seemed to recall something and looked a little disappointed.
"Last time, I asked my dad to sponsor their dance troupe, but at the celebration party, he was still skateboarding in the hall without even looking at me. He definitely wouldn't come to a social party like this."
Several people, each with their own thoughts, began to discuss who would ultimately win over this top-tier cool-faced handsome man. Before they could finish their discussion, a furry head suddenly popped out from the air ahead.
"Handsome guy! Where are the handsome guys?"
A furry head turned around, and the few people realized it was Xin Tong. She seemed to have been lying there for a long time, and her hair was a little messy, but the word "handsome guy" seemed to hit the mark, and her eyes widened and her ears perked up.
"...How long have you been eavesdropping here!" Several people were a little angry and embarrassed.
Xin Tong took a quick look and saw that the girl in the middle was the one who had just said she'd sneaked into the competition group and watched the street dance competition. A closer look at her face made a familiar impression: she was the youngest daughter of the Wu Group, only seventeen years old. It seemed like she was a fan.
"I wasn't eavesdropping. I listened openly." Xin Tong once again kept her original intention in mind. "Is the Aiden you're talking about the famous hip-hop dancer?"
The name Aiden is so well-known that even a fool like Xin Tong has heard of it.
One of the most powerful and famous street dancers in China, with outstanding looks and remarkable abilities, he is the youngest world champion in China.
He is just an extremely low-key and mysterious person. He hates fame and fortune and never appears in public except for street dance related activities. Netizens have tried to find out from many sources but have been unable to get a glimpse into his private life. His origins and real name are still a mystery.
Xin Tong was intrigued. He must be truly handsome to have charmed these pampered young ladies, even sneaking into the event group to gather information just to meet him.
She rubbed her chin and savored it. She thought it was probably the trendy BKing, the cool and arrogant type, which sounded very exciting.
"You! What's with that expression!" Miss Wu saw Xin Tong stroking her chin and savoring it, and suddenly felt like she was seeing Fang Touming. "I won't allow you to fantasize about my Aiden!"
"Tsk, what are you talking about?" Xin Tong saw that the little sister was young and wanted to tease her, "Not only do I fantasize about him, I also covet him like a fly."
"You!" Miss Wu blushed in anger. "Do you think he'd be interested in you? Everyone knows you're a lecherous, vulgar idiot who spends all day partying with male models. You're a clueless idiot!"
"That's a very good introduction. I stole it and will introduce myself like this from now on. Love comes from porcelain." Xin Tong clapped her hands with a giggle.
The angry mocking voices of the young ladies echoed behind her. Xin Tong yawned and stood up. Since she was not welcome here, she decided to leave.
When she reached the edge of the swimming pool, a hand suddenly reached out from the side, holding a glass of wine, and stopped her.
Xin Tong stopped and looked up. It was a man.
He was less than 1.65 meters tall, and his appearance couldn't be described as ordinary, it could only be described as horrible. His eyes were smaller than green beans, his mouth was bigger than a frog, and his oval face was so ugly that it was completely ruined.
"Ms. Xin Tong, do you still remember me?"
Xin Tong looked at the Zhang family's master's feigned composure and sighed, "Of course I remember."
This man had once approached her father and announced to the whole city that he wanted to marry her, but she had declined, citing concerns about the appearance of their next child. Xin Tong thought she had given him face, having neither directly called him ugly nor claimed he was interested in her because she was an only child. But the man still felt that Xin Tong had embarrassed him in front of the whole city, and he held a grudge against her, repeatedly picking on her.
His tone was very sincere. He handed over a glass of wine. He had another glass in his hand and was determined to clink glasses with Xin Tong to put aside their past grudges.
He had been secretly watching Xin Tong for a long time, watching her sing, dance, and throw money with a toy gun, but she hadn't touched a drop of alcohol, not even a sip of water. He felt a little strange, thinking that he had to succeed this time and pass the glass of wine to Xin Tong.
Xin Tong took a look at the bubbles rising slowly in the wine, took it, and then took his glass as well.
Then, while he was still confused and unable to react, she raised her foot and kicked him into the swimming pool.
"Bang!" A black body crashed into the water with a scream, splashing huge water.
The crowd around them cried out in surprise, and all eyes turned towards them. Xin Tong laughed so hard on the shore that tears were almost coming out of her eyes.
The young master of the Zhang family emerged from the water, looking like a drowned rat. His already sparse hair was wet and stuck to his head. He wiped the water off his face, and before he could get angry, a glass of wine was handed to him.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I sincerely apologize. Let's clink glasses and put aside the past."
Xin Tong's words instantly choked his rage, making it impossible to utter a single word. Everyone around him was staring at the two of them. He was panting, his face pale. Under everyone's gaze, he snatched the wine from Xin Tong's hand, clinked his glasses briefly, and drank it all.
After finishing, he found Xin Tong standing on the shore, looking at him with a smile, without drinking a sip of the glass of wine in his hand.
"Is it delicious?"
She smiled harmlessly, but said something that was enough to scare him to death, "You drank my cup."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Tong watched as the face of the young master of the Zhang family in the pool turned pale in an instant, his pupils trembled, and he stood still for three seconds. Suddenly, he climbed up in a mess with his hands and feet, and didn't care that he was soaked all over, and ran out stumblingly.
She was standing behind him, craning her neck to look, muttering to herself, "How could it slip away so quickly? It seems like something powerful must have been added."
The crowd around them didn't hear the conversation between the two. They just saw the young master of the Zhang family accidentally fall into the pool and then run away, probably to change clothes. The interlude ended and the music continued.
Xin Tong lowered her eyes.
She was almost one step away from danger. She stared at the untouched glass of wine in her hand, turned around, poured it on the ground, and handed the glass to the waiter.
She didn't know why she was in a bad mood all of a sudden, and she found that she seemed to be unwelcome wherever she went.
Xin Tong walked away from the crowd and slowly walked out, unknowingly reaching the edge of the courtyard. There were few people here, and the lights were dim. She saw a small staircase in the dark corner. The staircase led up to the unknown. There was no light on it, and it was pitch black.
Without thinking, he walked up, but he reached the end in just a few steps. Looking down, Xin Tong exclaimed in amazement.
This is actually the second floor!
No, it’s not quite accurate to say it’s the second floor, because it’s less than two meters away from the first floor, and it’s a small recessed platform hidden in the darkness. From here you can look down at the entire backyard and the entire villa.
She caught something out of the corner of her eye and looked to her left.
——A few steps to the left, in a dark corner, stood a man.
Tall and thin, he leaned sideways, casually leaning against the railing. His blond hair, shockingly bright even in the darkness, reached his shoulders and was tucked behind his ear, revealing a small silver stud on his earlobe.
He had a thin, narrow face, a high nose, and sharp eyebrows. He glanced at her coldly.
