Chapter 171 A Fleeting Romance
Private room.
"Bosses, what kind of service would you like?"
"I'll choose first!"
Wu Yingrong was the first to raise her hand: "Any handsome guys here?"
"Boss, this is a 1200 RMB table rental."
Wu Yingrong waved her hand and said, "Master, Ding Mo and I will choose first."
In less than 5 minutes, seven roast ducks, each 1 meters tall, entered the private room. They were so greasy they were practically dripping with oil.
"The quality is really good. You, the one with the blond hair, you're the one."
I could see eight-pack abs through his shirt; women love that.
Ding Mo was shy, but in the end, she chose the princess, just like us men.
Drinking baijiu followed by beer does make you more alert, but after that, you get a hangover!
They drank from 12 o'clock until 2:30 in the morning.
Su Kang's eyes began to wander, and he picked up his wine glass and swayed as he walked to Wu Yingrong's side.
The roast duck tactfully sat down to the side.
"Come on, cheers!"
Wu Yingrong raised her glass and clinked it with hers: "If you can't drink, then don't. You'll only feel bad at work tomorrow."
"Drink a little, it'll be fine."
Su Kang sat very close to Wu Yingrong.
"After all these years, haven't you found someone else?"
Wu Yingrong squinted at me: "You're trying to pull this on me? You're not my type."
After saying that, Wu Yingrong gestured with her chin towards the roast duck.
Su Kang was a little annoyed: "Why? You don't have anyone you like, and you haven't had a boyfriend for the past few years, so why don't you consider me?"
Wu Yingrong: "We're too familiar with each other, I don't feel anything."
Su Kang threw down his wine glass and kissed Wu Yingrong. Wu Yingrong was initially stunned and raised her hand to slap him, but she lowered her hand and slowly began to respond until the two of them were kissing.
Su Kang: "How is it? Can you feel it?"
Wu Yingrong ruffled Su Kang's hair as if coaxing a child: "If you want women, there are plenty everywhere. You don't need to keep looking at me. It's been so many years, don't waste your time."
Su Kang tried to kiss her again, but Wu Yingrong pushed him away, saying, "Let's call it a day."
He stood up to leave.
We witnessed all of this. Su Kang had been pursuing Wu Yingrong for so many years, and tonight was the closest he had ever come to success. Seeing that Wu Yingrong was angry, Ding Mo quickly got up as well.
"Ding Mo, let's go."
Su Kang sat alone on the sofa, lost in thought.
Wang Chen: "Tianyi, they've both been drinking. I'm worried about them. Could you see them off?"
Me: "Okay."
Go out.
Wu Yingrong got into the car and sat there silently, while Ding Mo stood beside her, not knowing what to say.
"Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
Ding Mo: "Beautiful scenery."
Do you live together?
Ding Mo: "Mm."
Xiaoqi was driving, and I was in the front passenger seat. I wanted to give Wu Yingrong some advice, but matters of the heart are hard to explain, and forced relationships are never sweet.
"Su Kang is not bad either. He's young, a section chief, has a high salary, and most importantly, he doesn't drink alcohol, so his kidneys must be healthy."
"Pfft..."
I knew they were both listening intently to me, so I could only crack dirty jokes; otherwise, the more awkward the conversation became, the harder it would be to salvage the situation.
"Yingrong, do you have someone you like?"
"no."
"Ding Mo, what about you?"
"I broke up with my boyfriend right after the pandemic ended last year, and that's when I moved into Yingrong's house."
"oh."
The atmosphere in the car was quiet for a while.
"Tianyi, do you think Wang Chen's blind box business is really that profitable?"
"I don't know if the business is profitable or not, but I do know Wang Chen, and you all know him too, right? We've been classmates for so many years. What, are you interested?"
"Yes, I've saved up some money over the years and wanted to start a business. I originally wanted to open a cake shop."
"Forget it, give up on that idea now."
"What's wrong?"
"A woman's three essentials for entering the adult entertainment industry: coffee, flowers, and baking cakes."
Ding Mo was speechless: "How did you know I wanted to open a shop?"
I stretched and said, "First, you'll lose money in business, then borrow money to start another business, until you're in debt, and then you'll go into the massage parlor as a technician... I've already predicted your life for the next 5 years."
"screw you."
The car was parked at the entrance of the residential area.
They escorted the two downstairs.
Ding Mo grinned mischievously, "Want to come up and sit for a bit?"
"I'll come again another day when you're home alone."
"Come up and sit for a while."
Wu Yingrong suddenly spoke up, "I'm not very interested in Wang Chen's business. Mr. Shen, could you help us sisters make some money?"
"You're not drunk."
Wu Yingrong pouted: "With your limited alcohol tolerance, you'd be drinking until you're completely drunk, and I might not even get drunk."
I was actually very curious about why Wu Yingrong rejected Su Kang, so I followed her upstairs anyway.
Push open the door.
The two women's home was kept in perfect order.
Two people's clothes were hanging out to dry on the balcony.
Why are there two people?
One item B, one item C.
"What are you looking at?"
I turned my head: "But it's much cleaner now. Back in college, when I went to your girls' dorm, it was a mess and a disaster, except it wasn't dirty."
"snort!"
Ding Mo glanced at the clothes on the balcony, but didn't pay any attention to them or put them away.
"Tea? We also have red wine."
"Red wine bar".
Without a proper tea table, the tea just doesn't taste right.
With a beautiful woman in front of you, red wine is the most elegant choice.
He sat on the living room sofa with an air of authority.
Ding Mo took out a half-full bottle of red wine.
"Do you two often have a drink at home?"
"Yeah. In a foreign land, two women don't have many friends. They can't be like you men, going to bars every day and partying every night."
I tilted my head to indicate my innocence.
"Cheers".
"Hmm, not bad."
"How does it compare to baijiu (Chinese liquor)?"
"I don't drink red wine often. Baijiu (Chinese liquor) is strong and spicy, especially the sauce-flavored kind; it makes you sweat after a while, which is great!"
Wu Yingrong rolled her eyes at me: "If I had to say, drinking red wine with you men is like a cow chewing on a peony. When I drink baijiu, all I feel is the spiciness and the harshness; there's absolutely no enjoyment in it."
Ding Mo took out the remote control: "Play some music."
I crossed my legs and said, "Now can you tell me why you don't like Su Kang?"
Wu Yingrong: "It's not that I look down on them, it's just that we're not on the same wavelength."
Ding Mo: "Tianyi, why do you insist on pushing for reconciliation with Su Kang and the others?"
I swirled my wine glass: "It's all about keeping the good stuff in the family. We're all college classmates, and we've known each other's temperaments for years, so we've managed to get by."
Ding Mo: "If I could make do, I would have. I lived with my ex for three years during the pandemic, and I saw through everything. I thought living together would make our relationship better, but who would have thought that we almost couldn't make it through the last year."
I couldn't be bothered to respond. Ding Mo is a strong-willed girl, but she has a flaw: she loves to compare herself to others. What man can withstand comparison?
Besides, they've lived together for three years.
Wu Yingrong clinked glasses with me: "Seriously, Tianyi, do you have any profitable businesses right now? I'm really short of money."
"If you need money, I can lend you some."
Wu Yingrong: "300 million."
"OK."
Wu Yingrong was speechless.
She wanted to stand up for herself, and she also wanted to say "forget it" and earn money through her own abilities, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Ding Mo: "Hey, Mr. Shen, I'd like to borrow some money too."
"I've lent her all my money, so you should go borrow from her instead."
"Go to hell, I could tell there was something going on between you two back in school."
