At nine o’clock in the evening was the time when the soft crescent moon was high in the sky, the street lights were slightly lit, and urban nightlife was about to get livelier. In Jiang City, the streets were a little more crowded in the daytime. How many people would take advantage of the beautiful night to stretch their bodies and minds, relaxing their moods? Some would get a group of friends to a bar to have a good time, or walk arm in arm with their loved ones.
It was like heaven in Jiang City.
On the street, a champagne-colored Rolls-Royce was traveling along the path. Passersby could not help wondering why such a luxury car was there.
In the car, Zheng Ziliang hummed along with the songs in the car, looking forward to the upcoming meeting with joy. Lin Jie looked out into the traffic, and his eyes were unreadable.

Hey Jie, is my car too fancy? Should I have taken the Landrover?
Zheng Ziliang straightened out his swallow-tail suit and grinned.
Lin Jie sniffed and frowned.
What did you spray on your body?


Hehehe, good-thing-for-date. Indonesian aromatherapy, which can effectively promote the hormone secretion of men and women. It has become the Aladdin’s lamp for men and women in love. Want some?
From beneath his seat, Zheng Ziliang took out a small bottle of exquisite perfume with a look of happiness in sharing something good.
Lin Jie grabbed it and looked at it. The bottle was exquisitely crafted. The labels were also marked in Korean, French, Russian and other languages, but there was no Chinese. Fortunately, there was also English. Although his English was very poor, he could still spell some basic words. He read,
six… god?

Zheng Ziliang.
…


Ziliang, don’t try to scam me because I’m not so educated.
Lin Jie wore an expression of disbelief.
Isn’t this a brand for mosquito repellent? You want to have a successful date using this?

Zheng Ziliang grabbed the small bottle and threw it out. He scolded fiercely,
Scammers, scammers! I was wondering why such high-end international perfume was 90% off. I’m so furious.

Lin Jie rolled his eyes and kept both his eyes and mouth shut. He did not want his IQ to be lowered now and make mistakes later during the meeting.
Lin Jie paused for a while and said,
Oh yeah, let’s get Bu Yi first.


We’ll get Qiu Yuan first.

Both of them were stunned.
Zheng Ziliang put the electronic memo book recording the address in front of him and said viciously,
If I hadn’t organized the meeting, what chance would you have to meet them in the real world? Listen to me, let’s get Qiu Yuan first.

Lin Jie stared at him and said,
If I hadn’t brought you to the dungeon, what chance would you have to know Qiu Yuan?


Qiu Yuan first! I introduced you to Bu Yi first.


Introduced? Bullsht. Do you even know her?


Qiu Yuan first!


Bu Yi first!

…
In the darkened normal neighborhood, the passersby that were out shopping occasionally looked at the luxurious Rolls-Royce in surprise as two people were having a heated argument in it.
The car slowly came to a stop. Lin Jie was stunned and asked,
What’s happening?


We are getting Qiu Yuan first,
said Zheng Ziliang said proudly,
the car is mine, and so does the steering. I’m the one deciding where we go.


Cheater!


I’m sorry, but attractive women are my priority.

Suddenly, Zheng Zilang said seriously,
Cough, cough. Brother, do me a favor. Move to the back and leave the shotgun empty.

Lin Jie patted his shoulder and said,
No way.


What? Are we still brothers?


We can be sisters if you want.

The two brothers were quarreling in the car when a child-like voice came outside the window,
Mommy, why is this car shaking so violently?


Hush, don’t talk nonsense. Alas, rich people nowadays…

After hearing that, the two of them were shocked, thinking, ‘Fck! People should think that we’re having sex in the car!’
Lin Jie felt a chill coursing through his spine, so he opened the door and sat in the back seat.

Good brother!
Zheng Ziliang raised his thumb, ran below the building, looked up and shouted,
Qiu Yuan!

As in many love movies, the boy would shout the girl’s name from below. Then, the girl would open the window in surprise, reveal her beautiful face, look at the boy downstairs, and give a shy but happy smile.
But reality and movies were always different. As Zheng Ziliang was happily planning to persuade his good brother to lie in the trunk for a while so that he could deliberately lower his car speed and talk about life and ideals with Qiu Yuan, the latter came out.
Qiu Yan had long hair tied into a ponytail, and she was wearing blue and white leisure sportswear, with a pair of travel shoes. Qiu Yuan’s clothes were simple but lively and beautiful, with a youthful spirit.
Zheng Ziliang opened the car door for her like a gentleman.
Welcome.


This is your car?
Qiu Yuan opened her eyes widely and knocked on the hood of the car. She smiled and said,
I don’t really know much about cars, but it looks expensive. Were you born with a silver spoon in your mouth?


What? No! I’m the one giving the silver spoon.
Zheng Ziliang corrected her.
Qiu Yuan turned back and shouted,
Big sis, darling, come out! Innocent Killer is here!

Zheng Ziliang was stunned. ‘What?’
…
In the Rolls-Royce, Zheng Ziliang was gripping the steering wheel gloomily while crossing the curvy lanes smoothly. He glanced at Lin Jie and sighed heavily.
Lin Jie was sitting shotgun.
As the three girls got on the car together, as a boy, Lin Jie helplessly sat in the front passenger seat. The plan was for him to sit back, with Bu Yi in the middle, next to Netherblue. The driver seat and the front passenger seat were for Zheng Ziliang and Qiu Yuan. It was the perfect arrangement!
As a result, the three girls chattered behind, occasionally pointing and laughing. Lin Jie and Zheng Ziliang were sitting in front with sad faces. It was as if they had eaten tens of kilograms of balsam pear.

You guys are not afraid that I may sell you?
Zheng Ziliang laughed.
Qiu Yuan giggled and said,
Forget it. You have the face of a good man. Who could you sell?

The two brothers were shocked. ‘Seriously? Giving out the Good-Man-Card so soon? That is not on the right track!’

Say something.
Zheng Ziliang signaled to Lin Jie. The atmosphere was not quite right. The most awkward thing in a gathering of men and women was that both parties stuck with their own gender and talked among themselves without any interaction.
Lin Jie was staring at the rear-view mirror in the middle of the car. From that position, he could see Bu Yi.
She was wearing a pink short-sleeved shirt and a white pleated skirt covering her round, smooth thighs. Her long hair reached her waist, and her hands were placed on her knees unnaturally, eyes flickering out of the window.
‘You are looking at the scenery, and I’m looking at you.’
Bu Yi looked the rearview mirror inadvertently. Under the reflection, she could see Lin Jie’s eyes. She quickly averted her gaze and looked out of the window.
Zheng Ziliang shook his head with a sigh, and looked at Lin Jie as if he was saying,
To wash a pig is a waste of both water and soap.

Upon arriving at their destination, they got out!
Netherblue was the first one to get out. She shocked Zheng Ziliang who had not really paid attention to her. Netherblue was almost 1.8m tall. Her tall figure was complimented by a purple dress that matched her very prominent temperament. Her hair slightly curled up to the shoulders, vaguely showing her sexy clavicle.
As Qiu Yuan jumped down next, the long ponytail moved around as much as she did. Her casual clothes showcased her lively temperament perfectly.
Bu Yi appeared to be more restrained. When getting out of the car, she subconsciously tightened her pleated skirt and stared at the ground. She was going to wear ordinary short sleeves and long jeans, but Qiu Yuan had forced her to wear a skirt, which made her feel very shy.
Lin Jie could understand her. Bu Yi’s parents were teachers. Since childhood, the requirements for her were stringent and rigid. For example, she had to smile without showing her teeth and talk eloquently. As a result, she had developed an introverted personality, and it was difficult for her to open her heart.
The place they stopped was Chang Qin, which was located at the outskirts of Jiang City. The whole hilltop was covered with big stalls, which were far apart from each other. Next to the street was a particular stall that was loved by people who liked that kind of stall food, but it suffered from noise.
Of course, the price for a meal was much higher too. It was a food stall by the street of a higher standard.
Nevertheless, that was still a big stall after all! The status of the visitors was generally not high, so when the ones eating saw a champagne-colored Rolls-Royce stop far away, they all stared at it.
If that were not enough, a few beautiful and attractive girls came out of the car. Their charm easily outplayed many online idols in men’s heart.
Everyone wondered, ‘These people are eating here?’

Boss, give us a good seat!
Zheng Ziliang waved his hand, and the boss came up and took everyone to the top of the hill. The air was pleasant, and they could overlook the entire city. They could feel as if the world was theirs to control.

Sir, what do you need?
The boss cleared the grease off his hand and asked smilingly.
Go ahead, though we don’t have high-class food. If you need, I could buy for you.

Zheng Ziliang was very touched. He did not like to show off, but the vanity of the man made him want to show his advantage. But among the three girls, Qiu Yuan and Bu Yi did not seem to be familiar with the car at all, while Netherblue was only slightly shocked. That fact made Zheng Ziliang feel very hurt.
Now that someone had recognized the value of this car and regarded them as nobles, almost made Zheng Ziliang ask him to become sworn brothers.
Qiu Yuan tilted her head and said,
I’ll eat until you are broke even if it is a food stall by the street! Let me order!


Yuan, the meal is not on us…
Bu Yi tapped Qiu Yuan on her thigh.

Then all the more I should order the food!
Qiu Yuan stared at Lin Jie and said.
For now, we will have 40 lamb kebabs, 10 chicken wings, 10 chicken nuggets, 5 chicken shoulders… Vegetarian chicken kidney beans or something. Just serve food that is good.

It was not a challenge for Qiu Yuan to order that kind of food. It was obvious that she ate barbecue quite often.
Lin Jie waved.
Boss, bring me 20 sticks of fermented bean curd.


20 sticks! You’re not going to let us eat? Who would like to eat that stinky stuff?
Qiu Yuan held her nose exaggeratedly and said with disgust on her face.
Bu Yi blushed again. She liked to eat it, but due to Qiu Yuan and Netherblue, she would not normally order it. Furthermore, she seldom went out and thus did not have many chances to eat it.
Lin Jie laughed and took out a few bottles of mineral water from his bag and poured into Bu Yi’s cup. She did not like drinks or beer; thus mineral water was the best choice.
Netherblue smiled and said,
Who drinks mineral water here? At least get a can of beer or another beverage?

Bu Yi clicked her tongue silently, meaning that she would take the mineral water.

Tut-tut…
Netherblue gave a meaningful smile.
The barbecued meat was served very soon. Since it was a food stall by the street, it was only normal to drink beer. Zheng Ziliang told his well-prepared jokes while eating the meat. Qiu Yuan had a straightforward personality, and she began to play drinking games.
While drinking and eating meat, Lin Jie quietly put the fermented bean curd that was in the middle of the table into Bu Yi’s bowl. Bu Yi was too shy to stand up and pick it. She looked at the bean curd in the bowl and smiled at Lin Jie before eating it.
Netherblue looked at the beautiful scenery of Jiang City and the people who were actively eating, and she sighed.
I didn’t need to come at all.

The purpose of Netherblue was just to prevent something wrong from happening to the two girls. Qiu Yuan’s temper was too straightforward, and Bu Yi was too restrained. In the case where they were being taken advantage of, probably neither of them would speak up. So, for an occasion such as meeting online friends, Netherblue had prepared a pepper spray in advance. If there was something wrong, they would leave immediately.
Now it seemed like she had thought too much.
That was great too. Netherblue organized her words and intended to talk to Lin Jie later.
Bu Yi swallowed down a piece of fermented bean curd and looked at her chopstick eagerly, preparing for another piece of bean curd to fall into her bowl.
Lin Jie said helplessly,
Hey, there isn’t any left.

Bu Yi looked at the empty plate and stuck out her tongue.

I’ll bring you out and eat next time. I know a place that sells authentic fermented bean curd which is really stinky…
Lin Jie pretended to cover his nose and grip his teeth.

Pff…
Bu Yi smiled. For a moment, there was nothing more beautiful than her smile.
