"Well... okay!" General Zhou knew he couldn't convince Zhou Yuanyuan, so he had to agree to Zhou Yuanyuan's arrangement.
General Zhou felt more at ease with Xiao Wang driving Zhou Yuanyuan there.
Zhou Yuanyuan knew that Zhu Xiaojuan and Zhu Xiaojun had always had a good relationship. Zhu Xiaojuan once said that when she was a child, she drowned and it was Zhu Xiaojun who rescued her.
At school, Zhu Xiaojuan often mentioned her big brother, Zhu Xiaojun, and how he'd brought her some delicious "balabala" food back from his business trip. Of course, Zhu Xiaojun always brought local specialties back to school to share with Zhou Yuanyuan.
Because of this, although Zhou Yuanyuan is not familiar with Zhu Xiaojun, she knows that Zhu Xiaojun is a "sister-con".
June in Kyoto has already begun summer.
Xiao Wang knew that Zhou Yuanyuan was anxious, so he drove fast and steadily.
Zhou Yuanyuan looked out the car window and saw many people strolling on the street outside. It was ten o'clock in the evening, perfect for those who enjoyed the nightlife.
In recent years, people's living conditions have improved, and the colors of their clothes have become more colorful. Unlike the first few years when Zhou Yuanyuan came to Kyoto, the colors were all green, blue and gray, and even red was rare.
Some fashionable young men, emulating trends from Hong Kong and Taiwan, grew mustaches and wore floral shirts and bell-bottom pants. Some, even walking down the street, carried a tape recorder blasting disco music, shaking their legs or wiggling their hips. Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but laugh.
Twenty minutes later, Xiao Wang's car stopped in front of the Qingxin Bar.
Zhu Xiaojun stood anxiously under the neon lights at the gate, waiting for Zhou Yuanyuan to arrive.
Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan get off the car, Zhu Xiaojun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took a few steps forward, saying politely, "Zhou Yuanyuan, I'm sorry to bother you to come over so late."
Zhu Xiaojun knew that the Zhou siblings were both homebodies, never wandering around at night. Zhou Yuanyuan, in particular, rarely left the house even during the day. Zhu Xiaojun had lived in the compound for over a decade or two, and the number of times he'd seen her wasn't even enough to fit on the fingers of a hand.
"Zhu Xiaojun, what's wrong with Sister Xiaojuan? You didn't speak clearly on the phone just now, and my head is still buzzing." Zhou Yuanyuan saw the smile that flashed across Zhu Xiaojun's face, and a strange feeling surged in her heart.
Zhu Xiaojun today was not as refined as he was when Zhou Yuanyuan saw him last year. He looked a bit untidy, and the dark circles around his eyes were almost comparable to those of a national treasure.
"Xiaojuan and I were drinking and watching a show at the Qingxin Bar tonight. Xiaojuan said she needed to go to the bathroom and hasn't come back since." Zhu Xiaojun gave Zhou Yuanyuan a strange look. He clearly remembered explaining everything clearly on the phone! Why did Zhou Yuanyuan ask again?
"Is there any performance in the bar now? It's such a fun thing, why didn't Sister Xiaojuan call me?" Zhou Yuanyuan complained jokingly.
"Ah? Zhou Yuanyuan, you like performances? No wonder I saw you here last time. It wasn't some high-end show, just a bunch of girls singing and dancing to disco or something. Zhou Yuanyuan, if you like, I'll definitely ask Xiaojuan to invite you next time." Zhu Xiaojun was quite surprised. Zhu Xiaojun had always thought Zhou Yuanyuan was quiet and gentle. He had thought her only hobby was reading.
"Okay, okay! Next time I will definitely come here with Sister Xiaojuan to see it for myself." A smile appeared on Zhou Yuanyuan's lips.
"The performances here start at 8:30 and end at 10 o'clock in the evening. Xiaojuan likes to watch it from beginning to end every time." When talking about Zhu Xiaojuan, Zhu Xiaojun's eyes are full of love.
Zhou Yuanyuan remained silent, only smiling and glancing at Zhu Xiaojun. By this point, she had already concluded that the so-called disappearance of Zhu Xiaojuan was merely a lie made up by Zhu Xiaojun himself. If Zhu Xiaojuan had truly disappeared, how could this "sister-con" Zhu Xiaojun still keep his promise to bring Zhu Xiaojuan and Zhou Yuanyuan to a performance next time?
"Zhou Yuanyuan, aren't you going in?" Zhu Xiaojun was surprised to see Zhou Yuanyuan standing still in front of the door. Zhu Xiaojuan was missing, and as a good friend, shouldn't Zhou Yuanyuan have rushed into the bar to check on the situation?
"Don't worry, we came here in a hurry. I'll just stand there for a while to get some fresh air." Zhou Yuanyuan looked at Zhu Xiaojun's anxious expression and replied lightly.
Zhou Yuanyuan stood at the door of Qingxin Bar. Without moving, her spiritual sense had already scanned the entire area within a radius of ten miles.
She was careless and anxious, and although she was always smart, she almost fell for Zhu Xiaojun's trick tonight.
Zhou Yuanyuan looked at Zhu Xiaojun, who was so close to her, and wanted to slap him on the head. This naughty kid, no wonder no one at home liked him. Just because of what happened tonight, Zhou Yuanyuan only needed to call General Zhou at home, and Zhu Xiaojun would definitely be chased around the courtyard by Zhu Xiangyang again.
Zhou Yuanyuan's spiritual consciousness had already seen that silly girl Zhu Xiaojuan was sleeping soundly in her own home lying on the bed.
Why did Zhu Xiaojun lie? What did he want to do by tricking himself into coming here?
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuanyuan recalled Zhang Jintao's face and his purpose for visiting the Zhou family tonight. Could Zhu Xiaojun be in cahoots with Zhang Jintao?
Coincidentally, next door to the Qingxin Bar was the Regent Entertainment City that Zhou Yuanyuan had heard Ma Yulian and her niece talk about today. Compared to the Qingxin Bar, the Regent Building was particularly dazzling. The building, more than a dozen stories high, was adorned with colorful neon lights that flickered in the night, exuding a seductive atmosphere.
If Regent is a glamorous beauty, then the Qingxin Bar is simply a dull Cinderella.
I don’t know why Zhu Xiaojun and the others didn’t go to Regent, but instead became regular customers of Qingxin Bar?
That's right, a few people. Besides Zhu Xiaojun, Zhou Yuanyuan also saw Cao Yizhi at the Qingxin Bar. Huh? That beautiful woman next to Cao Yizhi looks familiar! Is she Liu Meifang from the Liu family?
"Zhou Yuanyuan, can you go in for a while and then come out to get some fresh air?" Zhu Xiaojun was a little anxious. Seeing that someone had come, but did not follow the routine he had imagined, this Zhou Yuanyuan was really a bit special.
"Zhu Xiaojun, do you think my kindness to Xiaojuan is fake?" Zhou Yuanyuan ignored Zhu Xiaojun's speculation and asked abruptly.
"How could that be? Every time Xiaojuan talks about you, the happiness on her face is real." Zhu Xiaojun didn't understand why Zhou Yuanyuan asked this, but he didn't hide Zhu Xiaojuan's impression of Zhou Yuanyuan.
