A man and a cat who had been swept out by Zeng Haoyang were standing at the office door, both lost in confusion.
A thought surged into the minds of the man and the cat: "Who am I, where am I, what am I supposed to do?"
They looked up and exchanged glances with Xiong Kang.
Lu Zixun yawned, "I’m going to find Gongsun Li. I think I said I was going to find her..."
"What time is it even now?"
Looking at his watch, Xiong Kang rolled his eyes and grabbed Lu Zixun’s tail, "She’s already gone home. You can go find her tomorrow."
Lu Zixun turned his head, pretending to bite Xiong Kang’s hand.
When Xiong Kang let go, Lu Zixun sat down and licked his paw, "Then I’m going back to Qingniao University. Oh, and send me Gongsun Li’s VV ID, I’ll remind her to bring the Array Formation Plate."
Nodding his head, Xiong Kang and Lu Zixun started walking toward the elevator.
On the way, Xiong Kang suddenly remembered something, stopped walking, and looked down at Lu Zixun, "Didn’t you tell me last time that you wanted to go to a bar? I’m free tonight, should we check it out?"
Thinking about the time to return to Qingniao University, Lu Zixun’s whiskers twitched twice, "I think that’s fine, but we have to be back at Qingniao University before 9 p.m."
Thinking about Lin Siyin’s angry face, Lu Zixun was still a bit scared.
"OK, no problem. Let me make a call."
After making an OK gesture to Lu Zixun, Xiong Kang took out his phone and walked over to a window.
Lu Zixun was puzzled for a moment. Why do these people always run to the window when they make phone calls? Is the signal better?
"Huazi, help me book a table on the edge... yeah..."
Pausing for a moment, Xiong Kang suddenly turned back to look at Lu Zixun, "For the drinks, get something with a lower proof, yeah, we’ll be over soon."
Putting away his phone, Xiong Kang walked back to Lu Zixun and smiled, "Let’s go, let’s have dinner first. I’ll take you somewhere cool."
"Alright, Brother, no problem."
The previously boastful Lu Zixun, who had vowed to become Lord Cat, now followed Xiong Kang like a little sidekick.
After tossing the car keys to the valet, Xiong Kang strode towards XS.
Sitting on Xiong Kang’s shoulder, Lu Zixun looked at the neon-lit LED lights ahead, feeling somewhat underwhelmed.
Just after entering XS, a man with a buzz-cut and wearing a vest came over.
"Ding—Surprise value from Yang Hua +500."
"Brother Kang, why did you bring your cat along?"
Looking puzzledly at Xiong Kang, Yang Hua seemed worried about upsetting Xiong Kang, quickly adding, "Of course, it’s not that we don’t allow pets here, but it’d be hard to find the cat if it gets lost when it gets crowded."
Patting Yang Hua’s shoulder, Xiong Kang smiled, "Don’t worry, he won’t run around. I brought him here to have fun."
His inner confusion intensified.
But remembering that Xiong Kang is from STO, Yang Hua didn’t say more, just nodded his head and led the way.
The interior space of XS was quite large and everywhere was imbued with an aura of money.
They reached a corner table already set up with drinks.
Seeing the densely packed bottles, Lu Zixun gasped in surprise; Xiong Kang intended to drink him under the table tonight.
"Brother, I’ll start with these drinks. If it’s not enough later, just call me."
Bowing slightly to Xiong Kang, a hesitant expression crossing his face, Yang Hua cautiously asked, "Brother... I see you’re alone, do you want me to call some... girls over?"
Shaking his head, Xiong Kang waved at Yang Hua, "Let’s leave it at that for now, if I need anything later, I’ll call you over."
Hearing Xiong Kang say this, Yang Hua didn’t say anything further and nodded, "Alright, Brother, I hope you have a good time here. If you encounter anyone troubling, just let me know."
After settling down with Lu Zixun,
he quickly opened a few bottles of beer and poured one for Lu Zixun.
Xiong Kang looked at Lu Zixun with a grin and joked, "Do you want me to call over a few chicks for you?"
Lu Zixun gave Xiong Kang a glare.
Lu Zixun was very firm in his stance, "I only like my little lady."
As time gradually reached the peak hour for customer influx in XS, the DJ also took to the stage, and loud music that hurt the ears started blaring.
Looking at the people wildly dancing on the dance floor, Lu Zixun’s mustache twitched, and he didn’t feel happy, only annoyed.
Catching sight of the displeased expression in Lu Zixun’s eyes, Xiong Kang, who was watching the dancing girls, leaned close to Lu Zixun’s ear and loudly said, "Do you think it’s quite boring?"
Hearing this, Lu Zixun looked at Xiong Kang disdainfully, the same person who was just enjoying himself now claiming it’s boring.
"It feels too noisy, let’s leave."
After complaining a bit, Lu Zixun hopped onto Xiong Kang’s shoulder, opened his mouth wide, and yawned.
Xiong Kang didn’t say much about this; he was only there to take Lu Zixun out for some fun, without any other motive.
Yang Hua, who had been keeping an eye on their table, saw Xiong Kang and Lu Zixun getting up.
Knowing they were about to leave, he hurried over, "Bro, are you leaving?"
Xiong Kang nodded slightly and pointed at Lu Zixun, "He can’t stand it anymore, we’re heading out."
Yang Hua felt a bit anxious at this moment.
This important guest had come by so rarely, and the longer he stayed, the better Yang Hua’s chances for a promotion.
As for the cat not wanting to stay, Yang Hua thought it was mostly an excuse.
Looking around sneakily, Yang Hua walked up to Xiong Kang, leaned close to his ear, and whispered softly, "Bro, stay a bit longer, there’s an interesting program coming up."
"An interesting program?"
After his gaze flickered a couple of times, Xiong Kang looked at Yang Hua with a meaningful expression.
Realizing that Xiong Kang had misunderstood, Yang Hua shook his head and waved his hand repeatedly, "Bro, it’s not what you’re thinking. It’s a completely professional magic show."
Glancing at Lu Zixun,
and seeing Lu Zixun nod his head, Xiong Kang then said, "Alright, then we’ll stay a little longer."
Magic shows didn’t interest Lu Zixun.
With the talisman given by Wang Duli, he himself was a Magic Master.
The real reason Lu Zixun stayed was that he had just been standing on Xiong Kang’s shoulder and overheard Liu Shishi and Gui Xiaomeng’s voices.
If nothing unexpected happened, Su Nian and Lin Siyin would also come.
The thought of several young girls being at a place like XS didn’t sit well with Lu Zixun regarding their safety.
Settling back into the booth, he ate the fruit platter that was served.
Using Xiong Kang’s body to block himself, Lu Zixun took out his phone and upon opening VV, he saw a series of messages from Lin Siyin.
"Da Ju, we are going to XS tonight, when are you coming back?"
"Not answering me, stinky Da Ju."
"I’m headed out, call me when you get back to the dorm, I’ll come right back."
