65: Chapter 65 Night Predator_1 65: Chapter 65 Night Predator_1 “Thank you for supporting ‘Sunlight Overwhelms the City, Warmth Doesn’t Reach the Heart’ again.
Tianyu is very grateful for your patronage and support!”
At Sky Horse Bar, Li Changlin and Lin Ruonan casually found a seat and sat down, and Lin Ruonan asked Li Changlin what he wanted to drink.
Due to the strong noise in the bar, Lin Ruonan was almost leaning on Li Changlin to talk.
“I don’t mind, just get some juice,” Li Changlin had never been to such a high-end place before and was completely clueless about what they served there.
He felt a bit uncomfortable with Lin Ruonan’s closeness, but the place was really too noisy.
If he wanted to talk, he could only get close to Lin Ruonan’s ear, so the two couldn’t avoid that kind of intimate contact.
“Okay, let’s just drink some alcohol.
Don’t be unhappy, I won’t let you foot the bill!” Lin Ruonan knew that Li Changlin was tight on money, so she was very considerate in her words.
Compared to Li Changlin, she was much more carefree.
Lin Ruonan already liked Li Changlin very much, so she naturally didn’t mind letting him take some advantage.
“A little alcohol I can still afford,” Li Changlin was certainly aware of Lin Ruonan’s thoughts, but in such a situation, how could he let a girl pay!
Moreover, Li Changlin had changed a lot from before; his earnings from the past couple of days had securely topped three hundred thousand.
Just drinking wine, that’s trivial!
“I know you can afford it,” Lin Ruonan said with a smile, not arguing with Li Changlin.
She waved over a waiter and ordered a two-thousand-yuan bottle of red wine.
Li Changlin didn’t pay it much mind; it was just two thousand yuan, not a big deal!
Not to mention that Lin Ruonan had been secretly in love with him, even if it were just for the sake of their four-year-old friendship, he would willingly pay.
Soon, the wine was served, and the waiter uncorked the bottle for them.
Lin Ruonan picked up the bottle and poured it into the glasses in front of them.
“Come on, Changlin, let’s drink up!” Lin Ruonan set the bottle aside and reached out with the glass toward Li Changlin.
“What did you say?” Because of the loud noise in the bar, Li Changlin hadn’t clearly heard what Lin Ruonan said, but seeing the glass she handed over, he still subconsciously took it.
“I said I want to toast with you,” Lin Ruonan leaned closer to Li Changlin’s ear and shouted loudly.
“Oh,” Li Changlin nodded, raised his glass to Lin Ruonan with a toasting gesture, then tilted his head back and poured the red wine from the glass into his mouth.
Seeing his manner, Lin Ruonan was a bit speechless.
Was this the way to drink red wine?
It was a sheer waste and a shame!
Lin Ruonan didn’t know what to say to Li Changlin, so she just shook her head, picked up her own glass, and began to elegantly swirl it around.
Seeing her do that, Li Changlin instantly felt a bit hollow inside, thinking he was just like someone from the countryside.
A lack of experience was just lack of experience, but Li Changlin couldn’t be blamed for that, he had indeed never been to such a place before.
Though he had drunk red wine a few times, it had always been the kind with a retail price of thirty-eight yuan, certainly incomparable to this two-thousand-yuan red wine in front of him.
“What an idiot!” Someone from the opposite seat hummed coldly toward Li Changlin.
Then that person turned his head to look at Lin Ruonan, and his eyes suddenly lit up, feeling somewhat tempted.
Lin Ruonan was truly beautiful, only an oblivious guy like Li Changlin wouldn’t care.
That person was a young man in his late twenties, fairly handsome, wearing globally branded clothing, seeming to be someone of not low status.
“Li Changlin, red wine isn’t drunk the way you do it,” Lin Ruonan held her glass, swirling the wine for about a minute until the fragrance of the wine fully evaporated before she gently sipped it.
Then, Lin Ruonan put down her glass and almost draped herself over Li Changlin as she spoke softly.
“It’s all just alcohol in the end, isn’t it?
Whichever way you drink it, it still ends up in your stomach,” Li Changlin said with a forced smile, trying to muster his strength.
Lin Ruonan smiled leisurely and immediately dropped the subject.
She was a clever woman and knew by Li Changlin’s words that he was actually feeling quite vulnerable.
For the man she liked, of course, she wanted to give him face.
“Then let’s have another drink.” Lin Ruonan sat back properly and refilled Li Changlin’s glass to the brim.
“No more, it’s pointless,” Li Changlin waved his hand, not wanting to make a fool of himself again.
Lin Ruonan didn’t insist and leisurely picked up her glass, slowly savoring the drink.
Across the way, a young man hesitated for a long time, conflicted for a long time, and also weighed his options for a long time.
In the end, he couldn’t resist the allure of Lin Ruonan’s beauty and grimly stood up, gritting his teeth.
“Xingwei, where are you going?” At the young man’s table, there were several companions.
Seeing him get up, his close friend Yan Xueyi couldn’t help but speak up.
Bloody hell, why should some broke loser get to hit on such a beautiful woman!” The young man, named Jiang Xingwei, was no small fry.
Just back from abroad, he lifted his eyebrows and looked irritably towards the opposite side.
“Wow, she looks nice!” Seeing Jiang Xingwei’s movements, the others couldn’t help but turn to look.
“Indeed she does, but probably not a virgin, so it might not be all that fun to play with,” lamented Yan Xueyi, shaking his head.
“Bullshit, what’s so good about virgins?
Besides that thin membrane, there’s no flavor at all.”
“Exactly, it’s these types of women who are interesting.
I’m saying, Xingwei, if you don’t make a move, I’m going to!”
“Not a bad choice, Xingwei.
Women like her are fun to play with.”
The group discussed and appraised her with greedy light flashing in their eyes.
Encouraged by his buddies, Jiang Xingwei’s already itching desire became even harder to suppress.
By now, he was somewhat drunk, maybe around six parts tipsy.
With his brothers egging him on nonstop, Jiang Xingwei couldn’t show any weakness.
So, he fiercely jerked his arm as if to muster courage and then staggered out of his seat.
He approached Li Changlin’s table and shouted brazenly, “Hey, make some space for me.”
It wasn’t surprising for Jiang Xingwei to act so arrogantly; the Jiang Family had a thundering reputation in Jincheng.
As the family of the city’s wealthiest, they were afforded respect by both the legitimate and illegitimate worlds.
“Who are you?” Li Changlin frowned at Jiang Xingwei, as he honestly hadn’t heard what the guy had just said.
But subconsciously, Li Changlin could guess that Jiang Xingwei was up to no good.
Although Li Changlin had never been to places like the Sky Horse Bar before, he was certainly no fool.
Having a beauty like a blooming flower seated next to him, it was inevitable that the wolves would be unable to resist making a move.
“I said you move over here, let me have a chat with this beauty!” Just then, the singer on the stage finished a song, and the sound from the speakers stopped accordingly, so Jiang Xingwei heard what Li Changlin had said.
