Chapter 38 (2/2)

Fortunately, Chen Hansheng was very familiar with Port City’s entertainment spots. He brought Wang Zibo to a billiard room on the second floor of an entertainment venue that had a disco on the first floor.

As such, Wang Zibo could feel the beat of the disco from below as they drank beer and played billiards. It made him feel more excited.

Wang Zibo shouted, trying his best to overpower the deafening music. “Hansheng, I didn’t know Port City had such a fun spot.”

Chen Hansheng chewed on gum and smiled silently. He wanted to focus on aiming at the numbered ball on the table.

Wang Zibo, on the other hand, was distracted. He kept stealing glances at the girls who came up from the first floor. Most wore heavy makeup, fishnet stockings, and clothing that exposed their belly buttons. When they passed by, he could smell a mixture of perfume and alcohol.

Chen Hansheng knew what was happening but did not rush his friend. Instead, he patiently waited for Wang Zibo to shift his gaze back.

When the latter did, he was still a little embarrassed. “It’s already October. Aren’t they cold?”

“Who knows? For some girls, beauty is pain,” said Chen Hansheng with a smile.

A few girls noticed Chen Hansheng and their eyes lit up. The smile on this young man’s face made him look like a bad boy, which they found attractive.

However, Chen Hansheng was not very interested. If he got bored, he would pat on the small of a girl’s back and whisper in her ear. “My friend over there is still a virgin. How about you go keep him company?”

Initially, Wang Zibo looked at Chen Hansheng with envy as he flirted with these sexy girls. However, when he realized that some of them were coming towards him, he started to blush with no idea how to respond.

When it was 10 pm, Chen Hansheng and Wang Zibo left the entertainment venue. But honestly, Wang Zibo did not want to leave yet.

Chen Hansheng lit his cigarette and warned his friend. “Girls who often go to nightclubs can be beautiful, and it’s OK to meet them occasionally. But don’t get too serious with them…”

“And?” Wang Zibo realized that Chen Hansheng didn’t finish his sentence. He followed Chen Hansheng’s line of sight and saw Xiao Rongyu with two female students quietly looking at them from the other side of the road.

They had just left the cafe and were on their way home. Xiao Rongyu was still holding a cup of cold drinks in her hand.

Wang Zibo immediately turned around and pretended not to know her. This was too awkward! Who would have thought that they would bump into each other so coincidentally?

“Good evening. Did the party end so quickly? Xiao Rongyu, your house doesn’t seem to be in that direction.”

Chen Hansheng tried his best to speak normally. He kept reminding himself that he didn’t owe Xiao Rongyu anything so there was nothing wrong with going to the entertainment venue.

But for some reason, he was feeling a sense of guilt that could not be easily erased.

“Didn’t you say that you were going to your grandma’s house tonight?” asked Xiao Rongyu with a voice colder than the fall’s night breeze

Chen Hansheng did not know how to answer. That was the excuse he had given when he didn’t want to join Xiao Rongyu. And now, his lie had been exposed.

Xiao Rongyu’s face started to fill with sadness.

“Chen Hansheng, Rongyu said that she wanted to slowly accept your feelings-” One of the female students wanted to speak up for Xiao Rongyu but she was immediately interrupted by the latter.

“It’s too late!”

She threw her drinks into the bin and started to walk away. “Let’s go.”

There was a soft sniff as she turned around and the fall wind blew on Xiao Rongyu’s soft hair under the street lights.

One of her female friends stayed behind, just to give Chen Hansheng a piece of her mind. “Chen Hansheng, you piece of shit. The cafe had just released a new delicious fruit drink and Xiao Rongyu had bought it especially for you. She wasn’t heading back home earlier because she was about to drop by your place. But of course, you just had to be fooling around in a place like this instead, under the cowardly excuse of ‘visiting grandma’.

“Go to hell, Scum!”

…

Chen Hansheng realized that the girl was right, at least in terms of where Xiao Rongyu had initially intended to go.

“Hansheng, Xiao Rongyu seemed to be infatuated with you.” Wang Zibo looked perturbed. “But now, the feeling is gone and she’s back to her previous self, again.”
