“Let’s stop playing, I’m bored,” Yan Cheng threw down his poker cards and lazily leaned back on the sofa, picking up his wine glass.
The harsh winter was approaching. Especially at midnight, the piercing cold wind howled outside, the shadows of trees under the streetlights swayed, and unknowingly, the entire city was immersed in the cold of the night. Many office buildings had already turned off their lights after a day’s work, shopping malls had also closed, which in turn highlighted the places full of singing and dancing that were just starting their brightly lit and bustling lives full of material desires.
There was a bar called 1401 Erguan in the city center.
The name sounded quite self-cultivating, and was not very appealing.
But most of the people who could get in were either rich or noble.
It was said that Erguan was a scaled-down yet concrete exclusive miniature world full of flowers and flowers belonging to rich people.
There were prey, hunters, casual romantic encounters, serious hunting grounds, and after the paper drunkenness and gold intoxication came extravagance.
In the bar, cigarette smoke and colorful lights shone on each other.
Accompanied by deafening music, people rhythmically swayed their bodies on the dance floor.
Men and women were close together, rubbing and writhing, uninhibitedly releasing or suppressing excited emotions.
Compared to just dancing wildly in the dance floor, the extent was even greater in some private rooms on the second floor. The closed private rooms gave a sense of privacy, and when filled with heating, the sultry feeling rose linearly, so more explicit teasing could be staged.
Ending the card game suddenly was bound to cause a few dissatisfied murmurs.
When these playboys had vented halfway, they quietly glanced at Yan Cheng, who was nonchalantly sitting in the middle of the sofa, and suddenly wisely shut up.
After a full three minutes of silence, all that was left was the restless music. Such a time without even entertainment was too boring and too hard to endure.
After playing with their phones for a while, Huang Mao raised his hand to press the bell on the wall to call for service.
Soon, a group of scantily clad but exquisitely dressed girls came into the private room.
Except for Huang Mao who rang the bell, the rest of the young masters frowned.
“Brother Yan, you pick first?” Huang Mao was a bit flattering.
Yan Cheng took advantage of the dark yellow and flashing lights to carefully observe for a while. After a short while, he turned his face to look at Huang Mao, his eyes slightly narrowed, and tapped the wall of the wine glass meaningfully with his index finger, “Zhou Chao, it’s only been over a month, how did you let the bar become like this when you were in charge… Are you trying to get me into the police station?”
“No, Brother Yan, the bar is doing even better now!” Zhou Chao eagerly leaned over, trying to explain something with gestures, “Besides, many clubs have this kind of business model, and there are very few inspections, right?”
The young masters who usually got along well with Yan Cheng gave Zhou Chao a look of contempt when they heard this answer, and they almost laughed out of anger.
Was this Zhou Xue’s cousin a f*cking idiot?
“Of course the business of brothels is good, bustling every night,” Yan Cheng lowered his eyelashes, looking somewhat absent-minded, but more obviously, he didn’t take Zhou Chao’s bait at all, “I’m back now, so you don’t need to be in charge here anymore. “
“Atai will settle the salary you should get.” He simply put an end to it, put his sleeve slowly, “Take your sisters out of here.”
Regular customers knew that Erguan was getting more and more depraved.
So depraved that it seemed to have fallen into a red light district.
Not only were there special ladies blatantly for sale.
Men and women also smoked drugs in a muddled state and rolled into one.
Zhou Chao cursed and swore as he left Erguan.
All the flattery was gone, his face changed faster than flipping a book.
In an already noisy environment, he said that Yan Cheng was ungrateful, that Yan Cheng was just a dog wagging its tail at his sister’s feet.
“Ptooey.” He spat at the entrance of Erguan, raised his chin arrogantly, “If this place doesn’t keep me, I’ll find another place, who cares.”
After thinking for a while, still angry, he staggered a few steps and leaned against the corner, then slowly took out his cell phone from his pocket a few seconds later and dialed.
On the second floor, Tianzi private room, it was lively.
In the eyes of his friends, Yan Cheng’s recent move was too unexpected. They all knew that for the past two years, Yan Cheng had been obsessed with a woman, obeying her every word. And Zhou Chao, as that woman’s brother, tsk, to tell the truth, they were all prepared for Erguan to be destroyed.
“Young Master Yan, did you come to your senses after getting married?”
“Is Xue in the past now?”
That woman had Yan Cheng wrapped around her little finger, and as soon as she turned around, she married Yan Cheng’s archenemy.
“I told you long ago that Xue was just leading you on. I could tell from the way she wavered between you and Huo Qidong. Unfortunately, you had to hit a wall before you would turn back!”
The spare tire hit the wall and became disheartened. He accepted the blind date arranged by his family and soon married the Chen family’s eldest daughter.
This time everyone felt that the two would go their separate ways from now on, but unexpectedly, that Xue actually met with the about-to-be-married Yan Cheng to find a position for her brother. Yan Cheng, the fool, actually arranged him to the bar.
Coincidentally, he went on a honeymoon overseas with the Chen family daughter, and with a snap directly let Zhou Chao take over the bar. Foolish, made people want to open up his brain!
Yan Cheng let out a low “hmm”, vaguely responding with such a sentence, not knowing whether he was answering the first question or echoing the second sentence.
In this situation, smart people would realize that it was inappropriate to mention “Xue” any further. Shang Chongsi timely stopped this topic and instead was interested to ask, “Newly married and sweet, how do you feel Young Master Yan?”
This topic was not much better either, but it didn’t seem to touch Yan Cheng’s bottom line. He just raised his eyebrows, his brow filled with a bit of joy, “Not bad.”
“Tsk tsk, spring breeze full face.” There are three great joys in life, one of which is the flower candles on the wedding night. Shang Chongsi guessed that he was happy because no one would laugh at him about a matter concerning innocence. “I heard that the Chen family lady is gentle and docile, easy to manipulate, right?”
The smile didn’t reach Yan Cheng’s eyes. He thought about it, pursed his lips, “None of your business.”
“Come on, can’t even ask?”
“……” No, be polite to your sister-in-law.
Although the words were asked like this,
the twists and turns in between could be guessed more or less.
They were all men, they understood a man’s heart, white moonlight and cinnabar moles1 ah.
It was unlikely to really let go of the heart just by casually marrying someone else.
Otherwise he wouldn’t still be staying at the bar so late.
Tsk,
Bitter wine down the throat,
it was all heartache and tears ah.
Until almost half past midnight,
Yan Cheng’s peach blossom eyes lit up as he stood up from the sofa, put on his coat, “Leaving.”
Perhaps due to some kind of innate straight male cancer in the bone marrow, and perhaps to refute the initial “came to senses after marriage and being manipulated” family status issue, he paused, raised his eyebrows without thinking, “My wife, she doesn’t dare disobey when I say one word.”
Shang Chongsi symbolically gave him a thumbs up, “Awesome.”
Then came disbelief and joking around.
Before it got noisy, Atai pushed the door and entered, “Boss, the cops are here.”
……
It was to crack down on prostitution.
Someone reported it, saying Erguan was suspected of selling sex.
As for who reported it, everyone knew very well in their hearts.
As the boss of Erguan, Yan Cheng had to take a trip to the police station.
Shang Chongsi watched as the man was taken away.
“……” Then under Atai’s gaze of “Brother Si hurry up and help my boss”, he followed to clean up the mess.
2 a.m.
Chen Jinyao’s phone lit up.
Followed by the Apple proprietary ringtone.
In the quiet room it sounded particularly noisy.
After more than ten seconds, it was still ringing persistently.
The person on the bed moved, pondered for a moment, then slowly moved his arm out from under the quilt, groping blindly towards the bedside table. The curtains were double-layered, and the thin gauze one was drawn now. The bright moonlight shone in, spilling a roomfull of silver light. Her bare arm was dazzlingly white.
Squinting her drowsy eyes, she glanced at the caller ID.
The emotions that arose from being woken up surged up in her heart. Helplessly closing her eyes, she let out a heavy sigh, seeing the unrelenting look, she finally answered the call.
“Hello.” Her voice was a little hoarse.
Unexpectedly, the other party was even more hoarse than her, hoarse and tired.
Yan Cheng: “Hello, wife.”
“Hmm, what’s the matter?” Chen Jinyao tried to be patient.
There was suddenly silence on the call for several seconds.
Yan Cheng stroked his face, touching the prickly stubble that had grown from staying up all night, very world-weary, “I’m at the police station now, I need you to bail me out.”
Chen Jinyao: “……What did you do?”
“Suspected of selling sex.”
- “???????” is an internet slang that refers to the person one hopes for but cannot have, known as “White Moonlight,” and the person one has had but cannot embrace again, known as “Cinnabar Mole.” It is often used to describe a man’s unforgettable first love. ↩︎
