Under the luxurious and bewildering lights, strength, skill, flexibility, and rhythm were perfectly combined, vividly displaying the muscular lines of the body with veins bulging.
Song Xiangyi was completely fascinated. She put her finger to her lips and let out a whistle, then clapped her hands and shouted, "Bravo!"
Jiang Yuan watched the artistic performance, holding her face with both hands. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she inexplicably felt parched. She lowered her head, picked up the red wine on the table, and sipped it little by little, trying to relieve the dryness.
As the performance reached its climax, the so - called "gentlemanly scoundrel" became even wilder and more powerful in his movements. The sweat on his body glistened like crystal under the lights.
When the performance ended, the "gentlemanly scoundrel" gasped as he got off the pole and stood back in his original position. The sweat droplets dripping from his forehead fell onto his fair chest, and under the flickering lights, they slid down his smooth lines into his suit pants and disappeared.
Song Xiangyi was very satisfied with this group of male models. She waved her hand grandly and said, "Keep them all to accompany my little sisters."
The manager beamed with joy. After giving some instructions, he left and carefully closed the door.
"Let me think..." Song Xiangyi turned her head, intending to tell her sisters to choose one for themselves. But when she saw that the glass of red wine in front of Jiang Yuan, which had been full before, was now only half - filled, she was shocked. "Sister Jiang Yuan, how could you drink so much at once!"
Everyone looked up at Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan let out a confused "Ah" and her eyes fell on the goblet. Her voice was soft and charming. "It's okay. It's not very strong."
It might not be strong now, but once the effect kicked in, no one knew how drunk she would get.
Song Xiangyi quickly removed the red wine in front of her, afraid that Jiang Yuan would continue to drink.
A clean and fair hand firmly grasped the wine glass. Jiang Yuan's cheeks were flushed, and her voice was so soft that it seemed to be dripping with water. "I'll be careful. Just leave it there."
"Are you really okay, Yuanyuan?" Lin Suye asked.
Jiang Yuan nodded, with a tone that brooked no refusal. "Really. Besides, aren't you all here?"
Yu Huan murmured from the other side. "Oh, isn't it just getting drunk? We're all here, and this is a private room. Nothing bad will happen. Let Yuanyuan drink if she wants to."
After all, with so many setbacks one after another, she thought Jiang Yuan might need to let loose a bit.
Song Xiangyi seemed to understand what Yu Huan meant. She let go of the glass and repeatedly admonished, "Sister Jiang Yuan, you mustn't get drunk."
Chi Xu hadn't shown up yet. If he came and saw Jiang Yuan drunk out of her mind, it wouldn't be his "day of reckoning", but her own.
Just imagining that scene, Song Xiangyi shivered all over. Under Jiang Yuan's confused gaze, she moved the wine glass farther away.
Song Xiangyi picked a pretty boy she liked, a dance student with a slender waist and smooth skin. She was very fond of him.
Lin Suye and the others successively chose the ones they fancied. Jiang Yuan was a bit slow because she had drunk some wine. In the end, the "gentlemanly scoundrel" who had performed the pole dance sat down beside her.
He was very good at reading the situation and knew exactly how to keep the right distance. He sat next to Jiang Yuan, not too close and not too far.
They drank, played dice, played the ice - passing game with their mouths, and played the finger - grabbing game. Song Xiangyi was always very open - minded. She dragged Jiang Yuan's three roommates to play with her.
Lin Suye and the others were originally quite reserved and shy, but after one round, the desires deep in their hearts were aroused, and they excitedly joined in.
Maybe Jiang Yuan was the only one who seemed out of place. Having just drunk some wine, her mind was a bit muddled. She tried hard to open her eyes wide and stared at the scarlet liquid in the goblet, which was so alluring.
Halfway through the game, Song Xiangyi felt her phone vibrate. She took it out and saw that it was a call from Chi Xu, and there were also dozens of messages.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Song Xiangyi pushed away the male model who wanted to dance closely with her, hung up the phone, and pretended to be nonchalant as she told him the room number.
[Makeup or no makeup, she always looks fair: Brother Chi Xu, what's up? We're in VIP Room 888.]
Putting down the phone, Song Xiangyi called everyone to gather around a long table to play blind - folded hide - and - seek. She really didn't dare to ask Jiang Yuan to play the ambiguous finger - grabbing game.
What if Chi Xu happened to see it? He would surely kill her.
After a round of dice - rolling, the "gentlemanly scoundrel" became the one who had to catch with his eyes blindfolded. Song Xiangyi grinned mischievously, grabbed the blindfold, and put it on him herself. She whispered in his ear.
"Later, just focus on catching my friend, the girl you're supposed to accompany. Don't catch the others. I'll remind you."
Calculating the time, when the blind - folded hide - and - seek was halfway through and the atmosphere was at its hottest, Chi Xu should be arriving at the room.
The "gentlemanly scoundrel" obediently nodded. With his eyes covered, the world plunged into darkness. He remembered the last position of Jiang Yuan and groped his way towards her.
He walked past the people on both sides.
Su Kexin keenly noticed and said to Jiang Yuan with a smile, "Hey, Yuanyuan, does he have a crush on you? Why does he only want to catch you? There are so many of us here, but he ignores everyone else."
"Maybe it's just a coincidence," Jiang Yuan said uncertainly. Hearing her voice, the "gentlemanly scoundrel" excitedly walked quickly in her direction.
Jiang Yuan was shocked. She quickly turned around and managed to avoid him. Stepping on the soft carpet, she was like a nimble cat, deftly avoiding the "gentlemanly scoundrel"'s evil hands several times.
Song Xiangyi slowly walked up to Jiang Yuan, let out a soft laugh, and deliberately made some noise to attract the "gentlemanly scoundrel".
"Sister Jiang Yuan, you might as well take him in. He likes you so much."
Jiang Yuan reached out to tickle Song Xiangyi's armpit, making Song Xiangyi burst into laughter and quickly beg for mercy. At this very moment, the "gentlemanly scoundrel" took the opportunity to leap forward and try to grab someone.
The two of them quickly separated, and the "gentlemanly scoundrel" missed his target. He concentrated and listened to the footsteps in the room.
The soft footsteps came from both the left and the right. The "gentlemanly scoundrel" recalled the directions of the two girls' voices and guessed that Jiang Yuan had run to the right, which was near the door of the room.
Jiang Yuan carefully moved forward, avoiding the obstacles in the room. She quickly scanned the area and saw a vase standing alone beside the door. There was no one there.
Unexpectedly, the "gentlemanly scoundrel" was extremely sharp. He turned around and rushed straight towards Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan was shocked and rushed to the door of the room in a hurry.
With a "click", the sound of the room door being pushed open came. Unable to avoid it in time, Jiang Yuan crashed straight into the arms of the person who had just entered. Her cheek hurt from the impact, and she gasped.
What wafted towards her was not only the warm air from the corridor but also a faint, cold scent of pine - like snow, which was inhaled into her nostrils along with the warm air.
This scent was so familiar.
Before Jiang Yuan could even look up, the hat of her down jacket was grabbed, and the excited voice of the "gentlemanly scoundrel" rang out.
"Sister, I finally caught you!"
"Sister?" A deep and hoarse voice floated down from above. The boy let out an ambiguous laugh. "Yuanyuan, having a good time?"
Jiang Yuan's body stiffened. Her mind went blank. Slowly, she looked up and saw Chi Xu's face just inches away, staring at her with a half - smile.
