I started as a spirited young man, and the system made me a male god.

Based on Chen Fei's understanding of Meng Sixian's personality, she is definitely not the kind of person who would willingly go to such occasions.

It was probably Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi, those two lively folks, who saw that she got along well with them and practically dragged her over.

Thinking of Meng Sixian's frail appearance and the complex crowd in the bar, a trace of worry flashed through Chen Fei's mind.

He originally had no interest in clubbing; his past life's work-related socializing had already made him utterly disgusted with such places.

But at that moment, a strange sense of responsibility welled up inside me.

After all, Meng Sixian only got to know Shen Shaoting and the others because of him. If something happened at the bar, he would feel guilty to death.

"Send me the address." Chen Fei quickly replied with a message, and then entered the location sent by Shen Shaoting into the ride-hailing app.

The taxi quickly arrived at the neon-lit bar, and even before entering, the deafening music inside could be heard.

Chen Fei strode in, pushed open the heavy door covered with a colorful film, and was instantly engulfed by the sound and smell of tobacco and alcohol.

The lights were dim, shadows swayed on the dance floor, and glasses clinked in the booths.

Chen Fei squinted, adjusting his eyes to the dim light, and quickly scanned the crowded booth area.

Soon, he spotted a familiar figure in a corner near the edge.

Shen Shaoting, Lin Jingyi, and Meng Sixian, who was sandwiched between them, were sitting in a U-shaped booth with several fashionable young men and women with eye-catching hairstyles.

Chen Fei vaguely recognized those faces; they were "brothers" the original owner had met in billiard halls or bars—a typical circle of young, idealistic guys.

Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi were clearly in the mood, swaying gently to the music, throwing dice, drinking, and laughing loudly with the people next to them.

Meng Sixian was caught between the two of them. Although she was playing with them, she felt like a fawn that had wandered into a pack of wolves, feeling nervous and uneasy.

A young man with blond hair was leaning over across the table, talking loudly to her. Meng Sixian just kept nodding, clearly disgusted by his advances.

Chen Fei frowned and walked straight over.

As he approached the booth, a young man with tattoos on his arm recognized him and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Holy crap! Who do we have here? Isn't this A-Fei? What, all reformed? Looking all dressed up today!"

Several people nearby joined in the commotion, their eyes scanning Chen Fei's new look.

Chen Fei forced a smile and made a few polite remarks: "Oh, it's just a change of clothes, don't worry about it."

He turned his gaze toward Meng Sixian and nodded to the blond-haired man who had been standing very close to him, as if to say hello.

The blond guy was called Ah Kun, and he used to be quite familiar with the original owner of this body.

He winked and patted the empty seat next to him: "Brother Fei, come on in, sit here! We just opened a bottle of wine and were talking about you!"

Chen Fei didn't move, but just smiled and pointed to the empty space where Shen Shaoting was sitting: "No, I'll sit over there."

Upon hearing this, Ah Kun's face broke into an exaggeratedly mocking expression, and his voice rose several decibels:

"Hey! Fei-ge, you still dare to go near Sister Shen? I'm telling you, Sister Shen was really fierce today! I just wanted to chat up with the new girl, and wow, she rejected me outright, wouldn't even let me add her on WeChat."

This remark drew a burst of laughter from the booth.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shaoting glared at Ah Kun with displeasure:

"This girl is a good girl, she's never been to a bar before. Isn't it normal for me to protect her? If you keep acting like this, I won't let you guys share a table anymore."

Chen Fei, still wearing a nonchalant smile, walked over to Shen Shaoting and spoke up for her:

"Ah Kun, it's normal for Shen Shaoting to protect a girl who's just come to a place like this for the first time. If you want to add her on WeChat, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Don't scare her."

When Shen Shaoting and Meng Sixian saw Chen Fei coming over, they tacitly moved aside to make room for him.

Chen Fei naturally sat between the two of them, while Lin Jingyi sat down next to Shen Shaoting.

Within seconds, Chen Fei was surrounded by three girls with distinct personalities.

Although two energetic young men on the other side also brought their girlfriends, they were clearly not as good-looking or as well-built as the three men next to Chen Fei.

"Whoa—!"

"Fei-ge is awesome!"

"That's quite the treat, bro! You're really lucky with the ladies!"

Immediately, a chorus of ambiguous whistles and shouts erupted from the surrounding area.

Chen Fei ignored the teasing; his attention was mainly on Meng Sixian.

As soon as I got close, I could smell a strong odor of alcohol on her, and her cheeks were flushed with an unnatural redness. Her eyes were glazed over, and she looked like she was drunk.

"How are you feeling? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Chen Fei turned his head and asked her in a low voice.

Meng Sixian turned her head a beat late, saw Chen Fei, blinked, and surprisingly gave a slightly silly smile. Her voice was also much louder than usual, filled with excitement:

"It's so comfortable! Chen Fei, this place is so much fun! I can talk and laugh as loud as I want! I can jump around and nobody cares! Aww—!"

As she spoke, she imitated the sounds from the dance floor, making two sudden shouts that drew laughter from the people around her.

Chen Fei's brows relaxed slightly. It seemed that aside from being approached, Meng Sixian didn't dislike being here.

Alcohol brought out her usually suppressed emotions, and the noisy environment allowed her to release her stress without restraint.

Even so, Chen Fei's expression remained grim.

Although Shen Shaoting and the others protected Meng Sixian very well, they didn't pay attention to the time and never expected that Meng Sixian would have to go to work the next day.

Sitting on the other side, Shen Shaoting noticed that Chen Fei was in a bad mood, so she leaned over and, with a hint of alcohol in her voice, tried to smooth things over with a smile:

"How's it going, Fei-ge? Isn't it fun with so many people?! Look at Sister Sixian, she's having so much fun on her first visit! Hahaha..."

Chen Fei turned his head and interrupted her: "Do you know that she just got promoted today and has to go to work tomorrow?"

Shen Shaoting was taken aback by Chen Fei's serious tone and gaze, and the smile on her face froze.

She blinked, seemingly only then realizing the question, and subconsciously tried to explain, "But...but Sister Sixian herself promised to come...I thought she could take the day off tomorrow..."

At this moment, Lin Jingyi also noticed the heavy atmosphere. She looked at Chen Fei's ugly face, then at the drunken Meng Sixian and the aggrieved Shen Shaoting, and suddenly realized the problem.

She quickly came closer and whispered, "Brother Fei, Tingting, shall we go now? Let's take Sister Sixian home to rest; she has to go to work tomorrow."

Chen Fei took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, let's go."

He had just stood up when the group of energetic young men next to him became unhappy again.

Ah Kun started the commotion: "Hey Fei-ge! What time is it? You're leaving already? The ladies are having so much fun! That's not very nice of you!"

Another chimed in, "Exactly! If you want to leave, then you have to punish yourself with three drinks! Otherwise, you're disrespecting your brothers!"
