Chapter 15 - You just said all that as an excuse to go watch pole dancing, right? (3)
Sunday night, Ye Xiang Qing Nightclub.
"So, uh, Shi-ge." Shen Yu addressed the man so hesitantly. "Why are you suddenly free today?"
The private room that had been extremely noisy a minute ago was silent now. The usually arrogant and domineering young masters were even now sitting more modestly. They straightened their backs and didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.
Among the group of young men that were sitting unusually straight, the one in the middle that was weak from drinking too much was extremely eye-catching.
Shi Qingyin smelled like had fallen into a barrel of wine. His open collar was messy, and he was frowning. He was still saying a bunch of nonsense. "Shuyao… why won't you call me? Is Yue Xia blackmailing you…"
The other man, who was the center of attention, took a step forward and lowered his eyes to observe. At first, Shi Qingyin reflexively waved his hand to impatiently drive him away. As a result, when he smelled that bit of coldness in the alcohol, he suddenly sobered up. "Eh… Older brother?!"
Shi Yunjian said, "Mhm."
With Shi Yunjian present, Shi Qingyin didn't dare to be rash no matter how courageous he was. He sat up with some difficulty. With his hand on his neck, he quietly said, "Why are you here…"
"I didn't want to come here either." Shi Yunjian looked away slightly. "You haven't gone to work in a week. Dad and Mom are very worried about you."
Shi Qingyin irritably said, "Not going to work occasionally isn't a big deal…"
"If you don't want to work, then don't." Shi Yunjian's tone never had any ups or downs. "Just transfer the work to me."
Shi Qingyin: "..."
No matter how stupid he was, he knew that his older brother didn't mean his words. His words probably meant that if he continued to slack off, he would lose his position in the company.
Shi Yunjian was about to leave. His gaze fell on the neon decorations and the people with disheveled clothing, and his brows unobtrusively furrowed.
…. Although this was considered a light atmosphere, he still didn't like this sort of scene.
Having delivered the message, he turned around without hesitation and walked out.
From behind, he heard Shi Qingyin's annoyed voice. "You guys don't know anything! Shuyao has long been spoiled by me. She won't be able to eat or sleep well without me. It must be Yue Xia. She's forcing her -"
After passing through the hallway, the noise behind him disappeared. When he passed by a small stage, he saw a familiar figure from his peripheral vision.
… No, to be precise, it was those eyes that left a lasting impression on him. Her eyelids were bare of makeup and only looked a bit glittery from the lighting above. Her eyelashes were long and thick. The clear outline of her apricot-shaped eyes looked like it was painted by a brushstroke. Her quick-witted black pupils hadn't changed from when he saw her at the engagement party.
Yue Xia.
Shi Yunjian turned to look at her. Even he was stunned for a moment.
The two young women were sitting close together in the VIP seats that had the best view. The young woman sitting next to Yue Xia was wearing a black dress and blushing hard. She was clutching Yue Xia's hand and looking everywhere. In the end, her gaze still landed on the stage.
Accompanied by elegant and melodious background music, a few tall, young men were pole dancing. They were profusely throwing winks over in that direction as if their eyes were cramping.
Shi Yunjian: "...?"
He heard Yue Xia's excited voice. "Shuyao, Shuyao, who do you think is the best?"
"Ah? Me? I think…" Jiang Shuyao's soft and weak voice was hesitant. "Umm… it's still that pink one… that one is a bit better than the others."
Yue Xia immediately became even more excited. "Yeah! I also think he dances the best!"
Shi Yunjian was confused and looked over.
Huh? Pink? None of the dancers on the stage were wearing pink clothes… Or more accurately, none of them were wearing shirts. He didn't see any pink in their hair or pants, so where did she see pink?
Shi Yunjian looked for her mysterious answer from every angle, and then he came up with an answer that made him regret trying to figure it out.
*Cough, cough!*
