But on second thought, considering that the girl came to meet him for dinner, Shen Yu suppressed his intention to leave. He tried to reason with the girl, “I’ll send you home first. Once I send you back, you may do whatever you want and go wherever you wish to go. I won’t care for you.”
The girl chuckled and tilted her head, “What a bother. Why do I have to make such a big detour with you?[1]“
{TN: [1] She means like why she needs to go home and then come back to the club again without him}
Shen Yu frowned. He pursed his lips and set his sight on the girl.
The girl seemed to notice the impatience in Shen Yu’s eyes. She sighed heavily and tried to compromise, “It’s only eight o’clock. How about you come in and sit with me for a while.”
Seeing that Shen Yu didn’t speak, the girl continued, “Although I don’t know what kind of life you, a 30-year-old man, have, I want you to take a look at my living environment. If you can accept it, we will get along with each other. If you can’t accept it, I won’t pester you anymore.”
She raised her eyebrows as she asked him, “What do you think?”
Shen Yu was speechless.
As a result, the two people hit a deadlock for quite a long while. It was a strange sight for the staff at the club. Then, a burst of cold wind gave Shen Yu goosebumps.
He shook his head helplessly and told the driver to wait by the curb as he followed the girl into the club. The girl was very happy that she encircled around Shen Yu, like a merry little bird.
As they were led to the elevator by the staff, the girl raised her head and looked at Shen Yu. She whispered, “By the way, can I ask you a question?”
“No.”
Shen Yu answered simultaneously when the girl had yet to ask him, “Are you still in touch with Tang Li?” she asked.
Shen Yu, “…I said no.”
The girl was disappointed. She curled her lips and made a comical face towards Shen Yu’s side. Then, she tactfully changed the subject, “The fourth floor here has been chartered. Wait a bit and you can walk around freely later. Of course, you can also follow me along.”
The girl pretended to be coquettish and winked at Shen Yu.
Shen Yu’s face showed no expression, his eyes did not even fluctuate at all. He was looking at the girl with eyes which resembled a puppet without a soul. He said coldly and lightly, “I’ll just sit for a while and leave soon.”
The smile on the girl’s face instantly froze. After a while, she sighed, “You really are a hardcore straight man[2]. No wonder you haven’t had a girlfriend until this age.”
{TN: [2] ????/g?ngti?zhínán literally means iron and steel/hardcore straight man. In Chinese, the term “straight men” is sometimes associated with “male chauvinism” and “bad taste in clothes,” But a “hardcore straight man” is often insensitive towards women and has a bad taste for fashion, but he is not obnoxious like those male chauvinists.}
Shen Yu was silent and turned a deaf ear on the girl’s words.
Soon after, the elevator stopped on the fourth floor.
As the elevator doors opened, the view of the lounge’s surrounding was immersed with dim blue lighting, relaxing music was flowing in the air. There weren’t as many people in the hall but it also wasn’t that less.
It was supposed to be a private reservation for a small party.
It was reckoned that all people here were the girl’s acquaintances.
The girl turned her head towards Shen Yu and smiled. She reached for Shen Yu’s hand, but Shen Yu avoided her nimbly.
For a moment, the girl’s face looked somewhat embarrassed. However, she didn’t take long for her to return to her normal expression, “Let’s go.”
Shen Yu nodded. He walked out of the elevator together with the girl.
Who knew that as soon as they took a few steps out of the elevator, the few people recognized who the girl was. They immediately swarmed like bees and buzzed around them to talk to the girl.
“Xiaohui, didn’t you say you can’t come? Why are you here now?”
The girl answered beamingly, “Jia Zhe likes to act like a spendthrift. How could I miss the chance for his treat?”
“Oh right, Jia Zhe is too strange.” The other girl said, “Firstly, the new year’s party. Then the masquerade party, and now a birthday party. Is he that rich? There is so much money that there is no place to spend.”
“…Let’s forget about the birthday party. Did he think we didn’t know his birthday was in another two months? There is no such thing as an early birthday. “
As a group of girls talked, their attention finally turned to Shen Yu, who was standing idly.
Shen Yu, who came out for a blind date this evening, was dressed formally. He had his hair specially taken care of. He was tall, and he looked elegant and refined. Even though the lighting around him was dimmed, the sense of his presence was too strong to be ignored.
In a split second, the girls’ eyes, whether older or younger, became bright like a light bulb. They were ruthlessly staring at Shen Yu and surged to him like a rushing water.
“Hi, are you Xiaohui’s partner? We are Xiaohui’s classmates. You are so handsome ah! “
“Cute brother, you look better than in the photo.”
“Not only does he look better than the photo, I think he can win Tang Li by a landslide. If this cute brother is just ten years younger, how would our school’s most handsome boy, Tang Li, have any chance?”
The girls continuously tried to compare Shen Yu and Tang Li until Xiaohui couldn’t take it anymore. She forced her way through and said, “Alright, alright. He’s already thirty years old. What is there to compare a youngster like Tang Li?”
Shen Yu, “…”
He put his clenched hand to his lips and coughed twice, “I’m not thirty years old yet. I’m about twenty-nine and a half years old…”
Xiaohui turned her head and gave him an eye roll, “Excuse me, is there any difference?”
Shen Yu, “…”
He wanted to say that there was a difference. A very big difference.
This half-year-old thing was something he was stubborn about before he reached forty years old.
