"Drink up." The laughter lasted only a few seconds before Ye Xing's expression suddenly changed, returning to her usual cold and expressionless demeanor. "From now on, you're not allowed to go out alone at night."

"Oh……"

Nodding in surprise, Su Jian picked up the milk tea and couldn't help but scratch her head.

"Is it really for me?" she asked repeatedly.

"If you perform well, I will soon suggest to the boss that you and your brother meet."

"what?!"

Although it was a completely irrelevant reply, Ye Xing's words immediately made Su Jian stand up, overjoyed.

"Are you telling the truth?!"

"As long as you behave well," Ye Xing turned to look at the moon overhead, "I will grant your wish."

"Thanks, brother!"

Perhaps the sudden news was too exciting.

Despite having previously harbored deep hatred for Ye Xing, Su Jian couldn't help but raise his hand and pat Ye Xing's shoulder at this moment, as if they were good brothers.

When she felt Ye Xing turn his head, his eyes, even with sunglasses on, radiated a chill as they landed on her hand.

"I'm sorry!" Su Jian quickly raised her hands in surrender.

But then again... why did this guy suddenly bring this up?

Night, the moon, the park...

Wait a minute! Could it be that he thought I was missing my family, which is why he brought up Awei's story with me?

If that's really the case, then he...

Are they pitying me? Or are they concerned about me?

But this guy... can he care about people?

A slight stirring ran through him, and the smile on his face slowly froze.

Su Jian silently sat back down and opened the milk tea. The rich, sweet aroma quickly filled her mouth, making her squint her eyes involuntarily.

Could it be... that I've been misunderstanding him all along?

It seems that even the coldest person has a gentle side!

She smiled and realized that Ye Xing wasn't really the kind of ruthless killer who only knew how to fight and kill, bully men and women.

Su Jian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that her life could be a little more relaxed from now on, and she wouldn't have to be so tense as she was now.

A person who mistakenly believes they are homesick just because they look at the moon a few times can't be too bad, right?

"It's a pity that the convenience store nearby only has pineapple beer left." Ye Xing suddenly spoke up beside me in a daze, "They don't even have anything with alcohol."

"Huh? No way?"

Su Jian closed the lid of the milk tea and asked in confusion.

"Weren't there quite a lot just now?"

"Oh—?" A glint flashed in Ye Xing's sunglasses.

"Wait a minute!" He suddenly realized.

Damn it, no wonder they were suddenly being so nice to me, it turns out it was a sting operation?!

The milk tea in her hand fell to the ground with a thud, and Su Jian stood up shakily.

"So you really did drink."

With a terrifying smile, Ye Xing stood up, his tall figure instantly blocking the moonlight in front of him.

"It's a misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding!"

The figure drew ever closer, the darkness completely obscuring the moonlight.

"No!!!"

……

"Help!!!"

His hands were bound by leather straps and he was suspended in mid-air, with a raging fire beneath his feet.

To save her life, Su Jian could only desperately lift her legs and maintain a split position.

But even so... it's still very hot!

(This is censored content... grilled abalone, please use your imagination.)

"I'll put you down in three hours. Just think of it as a dance lesson."

"No! People could really die in three hours!!!"

Su Jian roared and cried, but no tears came.

However, her legs, which had been feeling sore in a daze, tilted downwards again, and a burning sensation spread through her. In an instant, she could only quickly lift her legs up and split them in mid-air.

"This is the price you pay for drinking." Ye Xing pushed up his sunglasses and smiled faintly. "But don't worry, you know I'm gentle."

After saying that, he threw the gasoline in his hand into the fire.

"Fuck your gentleness! Ah—!!!!"

Chapter 24. Let's Dance

"Um……?"

His hazy consciousness gradually returned, and the blond young man, still clutching his guitar, groggily opened his eyes and got up.

"What am I doing...?"

Memories and recollections immediately flooded my mind.

The young man's name is Jiang Longchen, and he is a singer at a shopping mall in Guangcheng.

I had just finished a day's work and happened to pass by this usually deserted park when I unexpectedly saw two bullies about to harass a cute girl.

Driven by instinct, I rushed forward in a moment of impulsiveness.

But before my head could even get warmed up, I...

"Hiss... How is that girl?"

Rubbing his still aching head, Jiang Longchen looked around blankly and quickly noticed the two drunkards lying on the ground, seemingly knocked unconscious.

"She's fainted?"

He crouched down beside the two of them, holding his guitar, and scratched his head.

"Could it be... that someone else rescued her?"

He intended to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, but instead of saving her, he was knocked unconscious.

A bitter smile appeared on his face, and he felt that he had failed miserably.

He stood up dejectedly, then suddenly noticed something on the ground.

"Huh? This is..."

It's a photograph; within its yellowed frame are two smiling little boys.

One of them looked mischievous, while the other looked somewhat like a girl.

"Did that girl drop it?"

If so... then who are these two little boys?

The photo looks a bit old...

"I'll keep it for now and come back tomorrow to see if I can run into her and then return it to her."

I carefully put the photos away.

After glancing at the two drunkards, Jiang Longchen hurriedly and disheveledly left the park with his guitar.

My life has truly been a failure.

His pursuit of his musical dream yielded no results, and his heroic rescue of the damsel in distress turned into a joke.

Is this really all there is to my life?

He looked up at the moon in despair and sighed.

The next second, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind.

"I've finally found you!"

"Hmm?" Jiang Longchen turned his head in confusion and found a middle-parted man in a suit. "I've been observing you for a long time."

"You've been observing me for a long time?" He was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"I forgot to mention," the man with the middle parting quickly pulled out a business card, "I'm a talent scout from Tencent Pictures. I've been observing you for months and think you have a lot of potential. We'd like to sign you to the company!"

"W-what?!"

Suddenly speechless, Jiang Longchen could only stare blankly at the smiling man in front of him.

……

"Huh? Where are my photos?"

I searched through my wallet again and again, but the only photo I had of myself and my brother was really gone.

"Could it be... last night in the park...?"

"Su Jian, aren't you getting up yet! It's time for class!" came the shout from Lu Feichen, her best friend in the dormitory.

"Yes—I'm coming right away!"

Today is the first day of group rehearsal, so we can't be late.

Su Jian glanced at her wallet in a panic, and while she was anxious, she had no choice but to put it down and hurriedly catch up with the others.

I can only go to the park at night...
