Once inside, there was an open bar and seating area on the first floor. It spangled with neon lights, lit by dim, colored bulbs. The speakers blast high-tempo music throughout the whole floor. Men and women lost themselves in dance in the center of the stage, their arms held high, reflecting the colorful lights.
The air was thick with the scent of various alcohols and tobacco.
Lu Nanchen walked across the first floor holding a glass, his gaze set straight ahead without deviation.
People moved back and forth sporadically.
"Handsome, let’s connect on WeChat." A girl next to him said coyly, walking past Lu Nanchen. The scent of her perfume registered, her heavy makeup disguising her real face. Her figure-hugging dress seemed to cling to her buttocks barely, as she lightly caressed Lu Nanchen’s arm.
Lu Nanchen paused and frowned in annoyance due to her actions.
He casually lifted his other hand, displaying his silver wedding ring, "No, I’m married."
Unexpectedly, his response had little effect. The girl instead became even more reckless.
"So what? Don’t you get bored with just one woman? Don’t you crave some excitement..."
Her implications were clear enough that she might as well have said outright: so come to bed with me.
Lu Nanchen brushed her hand off his arm, his gaze turning cold, "Don’t bother me."
He then continued walking, despite the girl calling after him.
Once he reached the private room on the third floor and pushed the door open, the coffee table was full of high-grade white wine, red wine, and grape wine, all stronger than 20 degrees. About seven or eight people were crammed inside. Aside from Song Yue and Zuo Fugui, the rest were unknown faces who played well with Zuo Fugui. They sighed at the sight of Lu Nanchen.
"Isn’t this Brother Nanchen? It’s been a long time since we last saw you."
"Unlike you, he’s a top student. After finishing his fights, he goes back to school, studying diligently without stepping a foot outside."
A few rich young men greeted Lu Nanchen with laughter.
Among them, the guys who hang out with Zuo Fugui either praised or admired Lu Nanchen.
"Oh, you guys are here too." Upon entering, Lu Nanchen lifted his hand in a simple greeting, then picked a spot on the sofa to sit down. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Zuo Fugui casually picked up a bottle of grape wine from the table and cheekily moved closer to Lu Nanchen: "Finally, you’re here, brother. You have to drink tonight. Let’s have a bottle."
"No drink, it’s harmful for the liver."
"Ah, Brother Nanchen, isn’t our brotherhood worthy of you having a drink with me?"
Zuo Fugui lamented, then started to act cute again.
Lu Nanchen, his gaze indifferent, stared at his antics.
Zuo Fugui blinked.
"Yes."
A shot at the right time.
Zuo Fugui:...
Damn it, it felt like he had asked for trouble.
After teasing Lu Nanchen a few times, the group began to drink, singing songs in the private room while they drank. The scene was quite amusing.
"To think you’ve made it, I never imagined that you’d live off your parents starting from age 6, then at 16 and even now at 26."
"Don’t even mention it. My old man had a quarrel with me recently about my spending. Someone’s been teaching him bad habits. He has started limiting my spending. I couldn’t even buy the latest model of Ferrari. The black one looked so good, it was so cool!" Zuo Fugui bemoaned his situation, reminiscing about the model of the car, his fair face flushed red.
"That can’t be, who would compete with you over a car?"
"Some woman I’ve never seen before, damn! She arrived in a green taxi and then fully paid for two Ferraris. It is totally ridiculous!"
