All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

Gan Hong was somewhat confused by Yu Huanshui's flashy designer clothes. Could it be that her affair had caused him such a big shock?

Yu Huanshui was indeed greatly stimulated. He looked up at the colorful lights of the city and a smile appeared on his lips.

Nightlife is about to begin!

For the past ten years, he has probably been working overtime at this time every day, for the sake of his family. He has long forgotten that there is an even more exciting nightlife in the latter half of this bustling city.

Yes, now I want to do those things that I never dared to do before, but really wanted to do!

"Nightlife, here I come! I'm going to drink the strongest liquor and play with the hottest girls!"

Yu Huanshui, carrying a satchel with 150,000 yuan left, stood in front of an upscale bar. He glanced at the sign, strode to the bar, and sat down. The waiter, looking at his attire, asked him somewhat uncertainly.

"Sir... would you like something?"

Yu Huanshui looked around the bar. The bar was decorated in a European and American style. There was a band performing at the back. The lead singer looked like a very pure and beautiful girl. But pure and beautiful in a place like this? Heh!

Neither Yu Huanshui nor Zhang Peng were familiar with this kind of place, but since they were going to have fun, they couldn't be timid and hesitant.

Yu Huanshui pretended to be an easygoing person and looked at the rows of liquors on the bar behind the counter. Unfortunately, he didn't recognize any of them at first glance. He thought about ordering a dozen beers, but then thought it would be beneath him. So he coughed and pointed to the liquor that looked very fancy.

"Give me a bottle of brandy!"

The waiter glanced at Yu Huanshui, took a bottle of wine, and placed it in front of him. Yu Huanshui casually asked, "How much is this wine?"

"Sir, this is 1380. You can scan the QR code here!"

The waiter held up a QR code. Yu Huanshui didn't say anything, but simply placed his handbag on the counter. Under the waiter's dumbfounded gaze, he took out a wad of bills, untied them, and started counting them one by one. This scene drew the attention of not only the waiter but also several girls around him. Even the female singer performing on the bar stage turned her gaze in their direction.

The main reason is that Yu Huanshui's outfit is just too attractive!

Sitting at the bar, Yu Huanshui was dressed in a flashy suit. The H-shaped belt around his waist made his waist look a little rounder. He crossed his legs and his crocodile leather shoes swayed back and forth, shining brightly under the bar lights!

Seeing the attention drawn to him, Yu Huanshui felt like he was the center of attention, and this was exactly the feeling he wanted!

For the past ten years, Yu Huanshui has been like an invisible man. He has had countless dreams of becoming the center of attention, dressing flamboyantly, and being the center of attention in bars, attracting girls one after another. He has dreamed of that kind of life countless times!

Now he's determined to turn his dream into reality!

Yu Huanshui felt like he was dreaming these past few days. Yes, it felt like a dream. Since it was a dream, he might as well show off in his dream!

This dream is strange. It is Zhang Peng's dream, but Yu Huanshui's wishes deeply affect this body. It is as if the two of them have the same resonance and want to take this opportunity to go crazy!

Yu Huanshui counted the fourteen bills, hesitated for a moment, then added another one, casually tossed the 1,500 yuan to the waiter, and said generously.

"The rest is a tip!"

The waiter, somewhat amused and exasperated, nodded and quickly thanked him.

Yu Huanshui opened the bottle, poured half a glass of brandy, and downed it in one gulp, just like the protagonist in the movie!

"Cough cough...cough cough! What kind of wine is this? It burns my throat!"

The waiter, who had been watching Yu Huanshui's actions closely, quickly spoke up when he saw how fast Yu Huanshui was drinking such strong liquor.

"Sir, you should drink this wine slowly, don't rush. If this is your first time drinking it, I suggest you add some cola or ice!"

Yu Huanshui took the can of Coke handed to him by the waiter, mixed it with half Coke, and then felt that the taste was much better. He quickly thanked the waiter!

Yu Huanshui crossed his legs and looked at the girls in the bar. It was only around eight o'clock, not yet the real nightlife time, so there were only a few customers in the bar. Among them, a few girls were naturally his targets. However, his appearance also made him the object of those girls' scrutiny!

Honestly, looking like him, not many people would dare to approach him. Do you think he looks like a country bumpkin? But looking at Yu Huanshui's age, he's only in his early thirties. You think he's rich? What era are we living in?

A true tycoon wouldn't show up at a bar carrying a handbag and a bag full of cash.

Moreover, judging from the way Yu Huanshui drinks, he's obviously a novice. Girls who frequent high-end bars wouldn't be willing to take the risk of someone with such questionable background!

If they're here to fish, they'll be at a huge disadvantage!

Yu Huanshui had almost finished half a bottle of liquor mixed with cola, but not a single girl came up to chat with him, which made him a little embarrassed. However, he was not in a hurry, because in the original novel, it was in this bar that he met a girl who made his heart flutter!

In the original story, I met her here. The girl's name was Luan Bingran, and she was a volunteer at a hospice organization!

The girl named Luan Bingran in the original work is a naive and innocent character. She is sweet-looking, young, and compassionate. But when you think back to the details in the original work, you get a sense of unease about this seemingly naive and innocent character.

Luan Bingran's name, when read backwards, is "Ran Bing Luan" (meaning "but nothing happens"). If this was just a joke by the original author, then the place where this naive and innocent character first met Yu Huanshui was in this bar!

In the middle of the night, a naive and innocent-looking woman appeared in an upscale bar, ordered a low-alcohol fruit wine, saw a drunk man, and went up to ask him if he had any religious beliefs!

You say this kind of encounter is either because someone is extremely scheming, or because someone is a really special kind of naive and innocent girl!

In the original novel, Yu Huanshui always treated Luan Bingran as a naive and innocent girl. Even after he was shot, he had a beautiful dream in which he married Luan Bingran, had a harmonious family, and was successful in his career. Even at the end, Yu Huanshui wondered if all of this was just his imagination.

In Zhang Peng's view, the final ending was nothing more than a dream that Yu Huanshui had!

Since we're going to do this all over again, we definitely need to see if Luan Bingran is a genuinely naive and innocent girl, or a manipulative and scheming woman!

Yu Huanshui felt a little dizzy. He held his head, half asleep and half awake, and vaguely saw a girl sit down in the seat next to him and call out to the waiter.

"I'd like a Summer Blueberry, with some ice, please!"

Upon hearing this voice, Yu Huanshui's somewhat drowsy eyes snapped open, revealing Luan Bingran's pure and innocent face before him. Startled by Yu Huanshui's sudden movement, she stared at him with her innocent little eyes!

A smile appeared on Yu Huanshui's lips. No matter whether the girl in front of him was a scheming bitch or a naive and innocent girl, in his eyes, she was a little lamb about to enter his arms!

Chapter 175: Call Me Brother Yu

Perhaps she really was naive and innocent. Luan Bingran took the fruit wine handed to her by the waiter, inserted a straw, and drank it while staring at Yu Huanshui with wide eyes.

Yu Huanshui tilted his head and quietly looked at the girl. The two stared at each other for a while before Yu Huanshui suddenly asked.

What do you believe in?

Luan Bingran paused for two seconds before replying blankly.

Are you asking about faith?

Yu Huanshui nodded.

Luan Bingran seemed quite interested in this question, and tilted her head to think for a while before answering.

"I don't have a faith yet, but I believe I will definitely have one in the future. It must be quite pitiful for a person to have no faith!"

Luan Bingran tilted her head and asked with a smile.

"And what about you? What do you believe in?"

"Me? My surname is Yu! My name is Yu Huanshui, what about you?"

Luan Bingran was amused by Yu Huanshui's answer, covered her mouth and laughed before saying with a smile.

"My name is Luan Bingran, nice to meet you!"

"Luan Bingran, what a nice name. What do you do for a living?"

As expected, Luan Bingran was very outgoing and didn't hold back at all. She smiled and took out a stack of flyers from her small backpack and handed them to Yu Huanshui.

"I don't have a formal job yet, but I'm currently volunteering at a hospice website, dedicated to fulfilling the wishes of those who are about to pass away, so that they can leave with dignity and without regrets!"

Yu Huanshui looked at the flyer and said with a smile.

"Are you handing out flyers?"

Luan Bingran nodded.

Yu Huanshui picked up the flyer, glanced at it, then looked Luan Bingran up and down before smiling and saying...

“We really are destined to meet. I think you don’t need to hand out these flyers anymore. I’m a late-stage cancer patient, and I still have many unfulfilled wishes in my life. By the way, how do I join this hospice care program?”

After hearing Yu Huanshui's words, Luan Bingran was stunned for a moment, then finally raised her head, opened her big eyes, and looked at Yu Huanshui, who had a half-smile on his face.

Looking at her expression, Yu Huanshui pretended to be angry and said...

"What? Can't I go to a bar to drown my sorrows before I die?"

Luan Bingran quickly put down her cup, somewhat flustered, and said cautiously.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I... I actually just joined this website not long ago and haven't really faced customers yet. Sir, here's the website address for our platform. Just follow the instructions to register as a member, fill in your personal information, and write down your wishes. That's all!"

Looking at the flustered Luan Bingran, Yu Huanshui finally understood. This girl was really a fool. She would never be a scheming woman. She even believed such a reason, especially since this was in a bar. But that's fine.

Yu Huanshui picked up his wine glass, downed it in one gulp, and, feigning a preoccupied expression, slowly said...

“I’m getting a divorce soon, I’ve lost my job, and I’ve been diagnosed with cancer. I have so many unfulfilled wishes in my life. I never dared to come to a bar before, but today I’m not only here, I’m going to get completely drunk. After I fulfill this wish, I will fulfill all my other wishes one by one, until the day I die!”

Seeing Yu Huanshui's dejected state, Luan Bingran felt both guilty and remorseful. She quickly sat down next to Yu Huanshui, apologizing and comforting him.

"Mr. Yu, please stop drinking. Drinking is bad for your health, and your health is already poor. This will only make you suffer more. Everyone will die eventually, it's just a matter of time. Don't worry about it too much..."

Yu Huanshui took a sip of wine, his eyes glazed with drunkenness, and pretended to be angry.

"You mean I'll die young?"

Luan Bingran quickly shook her head, her face even more flustered, and hurriedly explained.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, that's not what I meant, I meant..."

Seeing the flustered little girl, Yu Huanshui finally burst into laughter, stopped teasing her, and raised his wine glass with a smile.

"Don't be nervous, I was just kidding. Come on, have a drink with me, I just want to get really drunk!"

Luan Bingran looked at Yu Huanshui in surprise, stood up angrily, and pointed at his nose.

"You...you're not sick."

Looking at the earnest little girl, Yu Huanshui suddenly wondered if he would lose interest in her if he said he wasn't sick. After all, in the original novel, the reason the two had that life-or-death encounter was because Yu Huanshui thought he really had terminal cancer.

Perhaps I could relive the experience of late-stage cancer and have another dark comedy moment with this girl, just like in the original story.

Thinking of this, Yu Huanshui no longer hesitated, and his face instantly turned serious again. He did not answer Luan Bingran's question, but pushed his bag towards Luan Bingran.

Luan Bingran looked at Yu Huanshui in surprise, somewhat confused about what he meant.

Yu Huanshui took a small sip of wine, a hint of sadness appearing on his face. Holding the wine glass in one hand and pointing at the handbag with the other, he said softly.

“There’s still 150,000 in there, all my cash. A few days ago, after I found out I had terminal cancer, I withdrew all my money and spent 100,000 on a set of brand-name clothes that I’d never dared to buy before. That’s my first wish. My second wish is to go to a bar and get drunk…!”

Yu Huanshui crossed his legs, his flashy leather shoes gleaming like new. With a melancholy expression, he picked up his wine glass, made a drinking gesture towards Luan Bingran, and then downed it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Luan Bingran felt even more guilty. She quickly moved closer to Yu Huanshui, snatched the wine glass from his hand, and downed the wine in one gulp. The strong alcohol caused her face to flush instantly. She put down the glass, took two deep breaths, and then looked up at Yu Huanshui seriously before speaking earnestly.

"Mr. Yu, I'm sorry, I sincerely apologize to you. I'm also a new member, and I haven't been here long. I don't have any experience yet. Please don't drink like this; it will ruin your health. Whatever your wishes are, we will help you fulfill them one by one. We hope you won't do this again, okay?"

Looking at Luan Bingran's sincere and innocent face, Yu Huanshui wondered if he had gone too far. After all, she was such a good girl, and he wondered if it was wrong to deceive her like this.

However, seeing the girl's fair and delicate skin, her well-proportioned figure, and the blush on her lovely face, Yu Huanshui felt his heart pounding. After all, if he didn't lie, he would be lied to by another man sooner or later. At worst, he could lie to her for the rest of his life.
