The moment her voice faded, the girls inside XS crazily raised their hands, trying to catch Si Han’s attention.
With a few handsome magic tricks, as well as his tall figure and magnetic voice,
Even without seeing his face, he was indeed quite tempting.
After all, there’s a song lyric that goes something like, turn off the lights and everyone looks the same.
Beneath the mask, Si Han’s lips curved slightly upwards as he made a gesture to the lighting technician, who immediately understood and began manipulating the lights to move around.
"Ding—Evil Smile Value detected from Si Han: +2000."
At the moment the System Prompt Sound rang, Lu Zixun’s heart skipped a beat.
At the same time, the spotlight stopped on Lin Siyin, or rather, on Lu Zixun’s head.
Those not illuminated by the spotlight let out sounds of regret in unison, envying Lin Siyin.
Just as Lin Siyin furrowed her brows, ready to decline, Si Han’s voice sounded, "To prevent accusations of nepotism, I’ve come up with a bold idea this time. I choose a cat to be my assistant."
Lin Siyin, not expecting Si Han to say this, looked down at Lu Zixun, and a mischievous smile appeared in her eyes.
"Ding—Evil Smile Value detected from Lin Siyin: +3000."
"Ding—Laughing Value detected from Xiong Kang: +7000."
"Ding—Evil Smile Value detected from..."
After Si Han’s declaration, Lu Zixun’s Feeling Value shot up rapidly, about to break through the 150,000 mark.
He lifted his paw and licked it.
Lu Zixun pondered whether he should team up with Si Han long-term to earn Feeling Value.
Gaining Feeling Value as easily as this felt like robbery.
"Are you going to go?"
Lin Siyin bent down and asked softly in Lu Zixun’s ear.
After mulling it over, Lu Zixun nodded briefly, looking at Si Han who had inadvertently earned him so much Feeling Value, and decided to begrudgingly cooperate.
"Perform well, I’m rooting for you."
With a smile, Lin Siyin said these words and picked up Lu Zixun, heading toward the stage.
Bowing down to take Lu Zixun from her hands, Si Han thanked Lin Siyin with a respectful nod and returned to the center of the stage.
"Everyone may try to guess what kind of magic trick we’ll perform next."
With a snap of his fingers, a table appeared out of thin air on the stage.
After placing Lu Zixun on the table, Si Han reached for the tablecloth, ready to pull it away.
Lu Zixun looked up at Si Han speechlessly, realizing that Si Keke must have told him about his abilities, else Si Han wouldn’t have suddenly pulled this stunt.
Thinking of reaping another harvest of Feeling Value, Lu Zixun activated Magnetic Field Control to levitate the moment Si Han whipped out the tablecloth.
"Isn’t this cat also a plant?"
A wave of exclamations surged, and those uninformed looked in horror at Lu Zixun floating in the middle of the stage.
Unsurprisingly, he gathered another wave of Feeling Value, now just a hair’s breadth from breaking 150,000.
Just as Lu Zixun was planning to rake in more Feeling Value, Si Han picked up the levitating Lu Zixun, brought him to the edge of the stage, and after returning Lu Zixun to Lin Siyin’s hands,
The moment Si Han stood up, a playing card appeared between his fingers.
The poker card, as if alive, danced between Si Han’s fingers, and in the blink of an eye, the card transformed into a gilded rose.
Putting the gilded rose on Lu Zixun, Si Han smiled and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. I wish you a wonderful evening."
In the noisy environment, the others only saw Si Han conjure a rose and applauded in amazement.
Only Lin Siyin had heard the respectful words from Si Han’s mouth, looked at him in surprise, and carried Lu Zixun back to the booth.
With Si Han’s performance concluded, XS returned to the world of young people’s revelry, as if nothing had happened at all.
He pawed at the gilded rose.
Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes; just now, he had seen Si Han slip a note into the rose, wondering what that guy wanted to say to him.
Perhaps Lu Zixun’s force was too strong, and the note fell out of the petals, plummeting to the ground.
Unable to say a word to Lin Siyin, Lu Zixun quickly jumped to the floor, searching for the note.
In an environment like XS, it was like dropping a pen cap in a classroom; if you didn’t look for it immediately, you wouldn’t be able to find it later.
At that moment, the note lay beside a bottle. Just as Lu Zixun was about to pick it up, a woman stepped on it.
"Long time no see, kitten."
Just as Lu Zixun planned to act as if nothing had happened and wait for the woman to move away, her voice, despite the noise, entered Lu Zixun’s ears with eerie clarity as if enchanted.
"Ding—’Laughter value from Gai Yue detected: +6000.’"
The moment he looked up and saw Gai Yue, Lu Zixun patted his forehead with a paw pad.
What kind of day was it? He finally came to a bar to soak up the atmosphere, and everyone seemed to be here.
This ’enchanting voice’ technique that used Spiritual Energy to speak was something Lu Zixun also knew how to use, but he had refrained to fit in with the bar’s vibe.
Very obediently raising his foot and stepping back, Lu Zixun picked up the note and turned to rejoin Lin Siyin.
"Don’t want to catch up?"
As Lu Zixun was about to leave, Gai Yue raised an eyebrow and quickly stepped in front of him, blocking his path.
"What past do I have with you to catch up on?"
Retorting with a cold voice, Lu Zixun said, "If you want to fight, fight; if not, step aside."
"Ding—’Interest from Gai Yue detected: +6000.’"
With a playful smile, Gai Yue stepped aside to let Lu Zixun pass.
The moment Lu Zixun jumped onto the sofa, Gai Yue’s mouth curved slightly: "Talk to me, and maybe, just maybe, I’ll tell you about Tan Ye’s plan."
Seeing Lu Zixun stiffen and then leap onto the sofa without turning his head, he disappeared from Gai Yue’s sight.
Flicking her wrist, a note with an address appeared in Gai Yue’s hand. After noting down the address, Gai Yue clenched her fist hard, and the note turned to ash, vanishing.
Gai Yue took a long look at the sofa where Lu Zixun sat before turning to leave.
"Business hotel rooftop, urgent."
Looking at the note, Lu Zixun’s brow lifted.
What could Si Han want from him? After thinking it over, Lu Zixun figured it was likely about Si Keke.
At that time, with the persuasion of Lin Siyin and the others, Liu Shishi, still carrying a look of wanting more, began to pack up with a pout.
Having exited XS, the noise level decreased significantly, and a clearer-headed Lu Zixun shook his head.
He’d never come to such a place again; it was too damn noisy.
"Was it fun or not, this is the kind of nightlife we, the young people of today, should have, right?"
Amidst Liu Shishi’s chattering, the group began walking towards the street, preparing to hail a cab back to school.
