Chapter 94: A Bad Mind (2/2)
Translator: Sarah
Luo Nan saw Hu Huaying and Hu Huaying also saw Luo Nan. His enthusiasm still had not subsided. He immediately staggered forward and clung to Luo Nan. ”Junior Nan, what's wrong? Is it not fun playing by yourself? Good thing I brought a group of brothers over. We can all play a match together. Want to play Ten Days in the Wilderness? Or do you want something even more stimulating?”
”No, Senior Hu. Something happened with my friend and he asked me to go down. I'll be leaving first.” Luo Nan excused himself politely, not wanting to be involved with the group of drunkards.
Hu Huaying blinked, he was still not thinking clearly. ”Tell your friend to come here. Everyone's close to one another, normally we'd play together with Junping!”
He lifted his hand and was about to introduce each one of his friends. However, Luo Nan grabbed onto his arm, made eye contact and said softly, ”No need, Senior, maybe next time.”
”Uh...” Hu Huaying was suddenly lost for words. He said ”uh” quite a few times before responding. ”Ok then, alright.”
By this time, the rest of the drunkards in the entrance of the elevator had already sized up Luo Nan. The majority of them were not interested in him and were more interested in the two pretty guides instead.
Luo Nan nodded in greeting to Hu Huaying again and tilted his body to squeeze past the group. There was a person who stood sluggishly in the middle, most likely stoned from drinking too much. This person staggered after colliding with Luo Nan's shoulder. He widened his eyes and was about to lash out but was dragged to the side, clearing the path.
The person who dragged him was not Hu Huaying but another acquaintance.
Luo Nan's gaze scanned the area and saw the bespectacled Liu Tao, who looked gentle and quiet. Luo Nan could tell that he was the soberest out of the group.
After he saw Luo Nan look over him, Liu Tao gently readjusted his glasses and tilted the corner of his lips in greeting. His expressions were a bit stiff; it seemed as if he had not decided whether to acknowledge him or pretend that they did not know each other.
Maybe it was because Liu Tao was not sure whether Luo Nan had recognized him.
On the warship that day, his introduction of concepts such as Darksider life forms and Shadow Fog, as well as the less than pleasant encounter at the restaurant two days later, had unknowingly left a deep impression on Luo Nan. Luo Nan's impression of him had already surpassed the conflict with Lian Yu and Li Xuecheng.
But since he was so torn, Luo Nan decided to just pretend that he did not recognize him.
One of Luo Nan's questions had been solved after seeing Liu Tao here. No wonder he was bumping into so many drunkards tonight. As expected of a group of affluent second generations, there were not many people in Xia City who could treat the Frost River Reality as a drinking establishment instead of a gaming center.
Hm, however, Huang Bingzhen was nowhere to be seen…
Luo Nan entered the elevator and greeted Hu Huaying with a nod once again. The elevator closed slowly along with the farewells of the beautiful guides.
After Liu Tao saw the metal doors of the elevator close and confirmed that Luo Nan could no longer see him, he finally let out a sigh of relief. He had not even been that drunk but any drunkenness he had escaped along with his breath.
He turned his head to ask Hu Huaying ‘what that guy was doing here’, but found the latter still waving his hand stupidly at the elevator doors. He cursed inwardly and pondered for a bit. Then he raised his wrist, preparing to contact someone.
However, at this moment a sound rang out and the elevator doors that had just closed suddenly opened again. Luo Nan was by himself in the carriage that should have gone down. His gaze swept across the faces of the drunkards outside the elevator.
Liu Tao's heart started to beat rapidly and his raised wrist froze in place.
Luo Nan's gaze eventually landed on Hu Huaying as he broke into a shallow smile. He raised his wrist, stepping forward. ”Senior Hu, give me your contact details. ”
Hu Huaying was baffled and slapped his own head after hearing Luo Nan’s words. ”Ah, my brain. Come, come, come. Add me as a friend. In school, you should contact me often about anything in the future!” ”
The two touched wrists and added each other as friends on their wristbands. Hu Huaying had graciously accepted Luo Nan's intentions and patted him on the shoulder quite a few times.
