It wasn't long before Fatty Shen came back with two bottles of wine in his hand. "Come on, guys, try these two bottles of Maotai. A friend who works at the distillery gave them to me, I've been reluctant to open them. It's said they are from the first batch when the distillery was established. I specifically brought them for you to taste today."
"Oh? Then we're really in for a treat," Luo Chao replied with a smile.
Fatty Shen opened the bottle caps and filled everyone's glasses, "Hey~, what are you saying, brother? Didn't I say, your presence is an honor for me, and I dare not say anything else. In the future, if you bring friends here for a meal, it's all on the house."
"Then if we come every day, won't we eat you out of business?" Du Xin joked.
"As long as you guys come, even if I go bankrupt, I'd be happy." Fatty Shen raised his glass: "Come on, brothers, cheers." Luo Chao and the others clinked their glasses and drank up.
"Everyone, eat up, eat up. These are our specialty signature dishes. Give them a try." Just then, a phone started ringing with the tune "You are my little, little apple, no matter how much I love you it's not too much..." Du Xin pulled out his phone from his pocket, looked at the number, and gestured to Luo Chao and the others that he'd take the call. The dinner table fell silent.
"Hello! Darling, missing your little Xin Xin?" Du Xin had just begun when the others immediately felt disgusted, almost too sick to continue eating.
"I'm dining with friends! They're not girls, just my roommates, Fei Yuan and the rest. Hmm..., you're coming too, bringing friends, huh..." Du Xin glanced at Fatty Shen, who grinned, "If the little sister-in-law wants to come, let her. I'll have the kitchen bring a few more dishes and instruct the front desk to guide them directly here."
Du Xin gave him a grateful glance, "Alright, come over then, I'm at Yixiang Lou..., mm, see you in a bit, muah~" and hung up the phone.
"I say, aren't you overdoing it with the mushiness while we're all eating?" Yang Wei couldn't stand it anymore.
"I like it, you jealous?" Du Xin was unfazed.
"We're all young, it's fine like this. Stop the talk, let's eat~eat." Fatty Shen mediated.
Luo Chao and Fei Yuan just kept eating, genuinely finding the dishes quite good.
Ten minutes later, the door to the private room opened slightly, revealing a small head with a delicate face featuring light makeup and a ponytail. Seeing Du Xin, her big eyes lit up with excitement.
Du Xin waved her over, and the girl turned and dragged two other girls inside by the hand. Luo Chao noticed that one of them was indeed the campus belle of Huaxia University, Tang Yan.
Du Xin's girlfriend gracefully introduced herself to everyone, "I am Ma Lili, and these are my best friends, nice to meet you all."
Eldest brother Fei Yuan slapped Du Xin's shoulder, "You sly dog, when did you get such a pretty girlfriend? We had no idea."
Du Xin chuckled, "Just confirmed the relationship a couple of days ago, didn't have time to tell you guys yet in Legends of the Desert Heroes."
Fatty Shen had already warmly invited the three girls to sit. "Little sisters, come sit. Xiao Li, get three more sets of tableware." The waiter, standing by the door, took out three sets of bowls and chopsticks and set them on the table.
Ma Lili sat next to Du Xin naturally, without the slightest shyness. Once everyone was seated again, Du Xin asked, "Lili, you know Tang Yan and Fang Qing? I didn't know that."
Ma Lili replied, "Tang Yan and Fang Qing are my roommates and best friends, of course I know... why do you call Tang Yan sister-in-law?"
Du Xin naturally replied, "Tang Yan is my heavenly brother's girlfriend, I have to call her sister-in-law."
Tang Yan, sitting over there, glared at Luo Chao with a red face. She hadn't wanted to come out, but her best friend dragged her out anyway, and she hadn't expected to run into Luo Chao here.
Luo Chao felt wronged, it's not like I said it, why is she glaring at me? Honestly, I'm the one losing out here, suddenly gaining a girlfriend out of nowhere. Luo Chao shamelessly thought.
The meal lasted until after ten in the evening, and after eating, Ma Lili suggested going to a bar to hang out. No one objected, and Ma Lili said she knew a nice bar called "Dihuang", so the group decided to head there.
Seven of them got out of the taxi.
"This bar looks really nice," Luo Chao commented.
"Of course, a recommendation by Ma Lili can't be wrong," Ma Lili proclaimed, patting her chest.
Seeing this gesture, Du Xin said with some concern, "Don't pat, it's not big to begin with, now it's even less visible."
"Screw you." Ma Lili pinched him fiercely.
At that moment, the spotlight in the center of the dance floor suddenly went out, and a voice came out from the darkness, "Ladies and gentlemen, are you not feeling enough excitement tonight? No worries, let's shake it up!"
The spotlight abruptly came on, erratically sweeping around the bar, and an exuberant heavy metal rhythm blared. Everyone in the bar was fired up by the heated atmosphere, rushing to the dance floor to wildly sway their bodies.
"Xin Xin, let's go dance too!" Ma Lili excitedly pulled Du Xin towards the dance floor.
"Let's play a bit too," Yang Wei motioned to Fang Qing and Fei Yuan.
Fei Yuan and Fang Qing got his hint, "Alright, I was just thinking of relaxing a bit." Fei Yuan stood up and twisted to loosen up, and they all headed off together.
At the corner, only Luo Chao and Tang Yan were left. Luo Chao took a sip of beer, glanced at the slightly awkward-looking Tang Yan, "Aren't you going to have some fun?"
"I can't dance," Tang Yan quietly said.
"It's alright, I can teach you," Luo Chao offered with a smile.
"Better not, I don't really enjoy playing around in places like Hypnotic World." Seeing Tang Yan genuinely unwilling to go, Luo Chao smiled and didn't insist, though he did wish to dance with a beauty.
"Ah, what are you doing..." Suddenly a shriek came from the dance floor, it was Ma Lili's voice.
Luo Chao and Tang Yan exchanged a look and got up to see what was happening.
Du Xin placed Ma Lili behind him, glaring at the bald brute in front of him, and softly asked Ma Lili, "What happened?"
"He groped my butt," Ma Lili blushed with anger.
Upon hearing this, Du Xin was furious, taking two steps forward.
"What, kid, you want to fight? You're still wet behind the ears and trying to play hero?" the bald brute mocked without concern.
"Who says I groped her? I could say her butt molested my hand, there are so many people here, it's easy to bump into someone."
