“I already said I don’t like places like this…”
Inside the dazzling private room, with neon lights flashing and an entire table already covered in alcohol the moment the room was opened, three or four young women sat together.
One of them, a young woman with long hair cascading like a waterfall, spoke helplessly.
Even in the blazing summer, she wore loose wide-leg pants and a short-sleeved blouse.
The outfit looked somewhat professional, but her beautiful face could only be described as flawless from every angle.
There was even a faint mixed-race elegance to her features.
Despite wearing only light makeup, her face was exquisitely refined.
Beyond that beautiful face and her tall, enviable figure, her temperament stood out the most among everyone there.
Pride from within, and a naturally cold expression.
She was practically the ultimate weapon of the abstinent beauty type.
Another young woman beside her, similarly youthful but noticeably less attractive, cheerfully wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
“You just came back from abroad.
In a few days, your old man might drag you straight into the company to start working.
How can you not come celebrate first?
This is only the first half of the night.
The men here really know what they’re doing~”
Lin Cheng felt like collapsing.
After studying abroad for five years, she had only just returned to the city where she was born and where her family had built its roots.
Before she even had the chance to reconnect with the city’s sights and culture, she had already been dragged here by her childhood best friend.
Under the excuse that this was “a paradise for women,” supposedly perfect for a twenty-three-year-old single woman like her to “release her true nature.”
Honestly, Lin Cheng had never thought her long-term single status was any serious problem.
With her looks and background, even overseas there had been no shortage of people eager to flatter her.
It was simply because of her own temperament, and her habitual coldness toward men, that she had no interest in those shallow romantic games.
She didn’t need a place like this to experience anything.
But… not only had her best friend Sun Yaming insisted, she had also invited two other close friends from back home.
That was the sign she had already boarded a pirate ship.
The other two friends could only be considered average in looks.
With makeup on, they could still be quite popular in a nightclub setting.
What they probably enjoyed was this very tangible vanity bought with money.
Dragging Lin Cheng into it was likely just another form of wicked amusement.
Lin Cheng sighed helplessly.
“I’m telling you, I can come.
But if anyone starts touching me or acting handsy… don’t blame me if I lose my temper.
You won’t be able to control the situation.”
Hearing that, Sun Yaming knew this was a sign her beautiful best friend had finally relented.
She immediately beamed with delight.
“Relax.
Tonight I’ll arrange everything perfectly for you.
Smooth and flawless.
If there isn’t a man you like, I’ll switch him out for another one.
If we can’t switch the man, we’ll switch the venue!”
“Ah…”
Before the night had even started, Lin Cheng already felt it was destined to be a boring evening.
Not long after, the private room door opened.
One by one, young men walked in.
Different heights, different clothes, even different ages.
They lined up in a row.
At that moment, Ye Nuan entered smiling.
“Greet our honored guests!”
So the five or six young men all bowed toward the four women present.
“Good evening, honored guests!”
Except… one of them did not bow.
A boy who looked absurdly young, more like a student still in school, stood there beside the others like a bamboo pole.
As if he were an outsider to the whole scene.
Lin Cheng glanced at him.
He wasn’t especially handsome, but he looked young and clean-cut.
Compared to the flashy others, he was easier on the eyes.
But what caught Lin Cheng’s attention most was his expression.
Calm.
Indifferent.
Even a little old-fashioned.
At first glance, he looked like… the boring type.
And that kind of boring made Lin Cheng think of something.
For someone like her, who disliked this kind of contact, what she needed… wasn’t attentive service or some ultimate experience.
It was… someone who wouldn’t disturb her.
That’s right.
Boring was the best, wasn’t it?
