Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhai Yu’s face was filled with curiosity. This was the first time he had seen Chu Qing curse.

“They want to introduce me to a rich woman, the kind that weighs more than 200 pounds.”

“Pfft! Hahaha!”

When Zhai Yu heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh. He wiped the beer at the corner of his mouth in embarrassment. He still looked like he wanted to laugh, and his face turned red.

“Damn… I knew you would react this way, so you should know that your parents might not treat you badly. It’s just that… there’s nothing they can do.”

Chu Qing said silently. At the same time, he looked at Zhai Yu sincerely.

To be honest, Chu Qing personally hoped that Zhai Yu would hate his parents. This way, Chu Qing could take Zhai Yu away without any resistance or pressure and leave this family to become a member of his team.

However, Chu Qing couldn’t do that. He had a bottom line.

“I understand…”

Zhai Yu looked at Chu Qing with gratitude and deep thought.

The two of them decided to steer away from the weighty topics and instead engaged in light-hearted conversation, reminiscing about the happenings on campus in the past. They shared anecdotes and stories, enjoying a more relaxed and carefree atmosphere.

Zhai Yu also told him about the disputes between the underground forces in Jinmen City.

As time passed, Zhai Yu started to feel the effects of the alcohol. The two of them had consumed nearly two boxes of beer and five to six bottles of white wine. Throughout the evening, they had made numerous trips to the restroom, as a result of their frequent drinking.

Chu Qing wasn’t drunk. His eyes were still bright. But in the end, he didn’t say what he was thinking.

Looking at Zhai Yu, who had fallen asleep on the table, Chu Qing shook his head and instantly regained consciousness.

Now was not the time. He would wait a little longer.

For some reason, as Chu Qing considered Zhai Yu a friend, he felt a strong desire to create more opportunities for him. However, Chu Qing was aware that if he were to suggest that Zhai Yu join him now, it would inevitably bring harm to certain individuals. The harm could potentially affect Zhai Yu himself, his parents, or even Chu Qing.

Chu Qing silently went out to pay the bill. Only then did he realize that Zhai Yu had already paid the bill. Zhai Yu had a membership card here, and it was the highest-level VIP membership card.

Chu Qing smiled bitterly. It seemed like Zhai Yu was determined to treat him to a meal today. Chu Qing could only treat him next time if he had the chance.

“By the way, how do you get membership cards here?”

Chu Qing thought for a while and asked the female manager in front of him.

The female manager was taken aback. She instinctively showed respect, slightly lowering her head and saying, “To become a member, you simply need to prepay an amount ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 yuan, which will be credited to your membership card.”

Chu Qing nodded and took out his bank card. “Prepay 20,000 yuan for me first.”

The female manager was shocked. She did not expect the young man in front of her to be so generous. He casually offered 20,000 yuan just for a hotpot.

Actually, this hotpot was only about 700 to 800 yuan for the two of them. The price was not particularly expensive, and members would receive a discount.

Holding Chu Qing’s card, the female manager asked for the password again and swiped 20,000 yuan. After a while, a golden card was respectfully handed to Chu Qing.

“Oh, right, my friend upstairs… Well, arrange a room for him first. We’ll talk about it when he wakes up.”

Chu Qing thought of Zhai Yu upstairs. He had secretly run out in the middle of the night without telling his parents. It was impossible to bring him home.

As for staying in a hotel… Chu Qing thought about it and rejected this idea. He couldn’t accept the idea of bringing a man to a hotel with him.

Most importantly, in this world, what would two men call each other when they were together? Would they be called gay or lesbian?

Chu Qing didn’t want to try and could only leave Zhai Yu here alone.

He shook his head and turned to leave.

Outside, the cold wind brushed against Chu Qing’s sweaty skin, causing the perspiration to evaporate. An intense coolness enveloped him, prompting Chu Qing to involuntarily exclaim in surprise.

Chu Qing was in a dilemma again. How was he going to go home? Should he take a taxi or run back?

Chu Qing forced a somewhat awkward smile, while internally urging himself. The need to purchase a car felt increasingly pressing. He made up his mind to buy one the following day. Furthermore, it dawmed on him that it was not only a car he needed, but also a house. Having a place of his own would provide convenience, even if he arrived home late.

However, the new house he intended to buy was not far from his current residence. Knowing his own personality, there w^as a possibility that he might venture out late at night for some mischief. He realized that if he wasn’t careful, he could easily rush back home in time.

Chu Qing realized that despite using spiritual energy to counteract the effects of alcohol, he still felt drowsy. It would be unwise to w^alk home in this state.

Chu Qing acknowledged that if he were to accidentally stumble and fall down the stairs, it would not only be unpleasant but potentially dangerous as well..
