A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

"Hey, Xiao Si, have you arrived yet?" Abu covered one ear with one hand and shouted into the phone with the other.

"We're here. What are you doing today? Do you know I'm freezing dressed like this?"

Jiang Yi stood at the entrance of the "Chao San" clubhouse. He shivered as soon as he got out of the car. He cursed Abu a thousand times in his heart, thinking that he must have been out of his mind to agree to him.

As soon as Jiang stepped inside, it felt like entering another dimension. The extremely high ceiling gave people the illusion of being outdoors.

The surging music and dazzling light show made her frown, and the other foot that hadn't entered yet was about to leave.

Abu grabbed her quickly, "This way."

Abu looked Jiang Yi up and down with satisfaction. She was wearing a pink Lolita dress with a strapless lace design at the neckline, a cinched waist, and a flared skirt that made her waist look even slimmer. White mid-calf boots accentuated her leg shape.

Long ribbons were tied around her fair and slender arms, hanging down from her elbows, and her hair was tied up in a bun with a large bow of the same color, making her look as delicate as a porcelain doll.

Standing in the crowd, she resembled a bewildered fawn, arousing a man's protective instincts.

"I shouldn't have listened to you."

The stares from all around made Jiang Yi feel uncomfortable.

"You wanted to know about the boss, right? It's just a matter of putting on some clothes, it's not difficult at all."

Abu forced out his most amiable smile to show that he was a good person.

"You're dressed now, so you can tell me, right?"

"Come in first, it's so cold outside."

Abu naturally grabbed her hand and dragged her to the pre-arranged spot.

It seems like there's some kind of performance today. Apart from Jiang Yi, most of the girls are dressed up beautifully in gorgeous princess dresses, and some even look like they're in cosplay outfits.

"Chao San" is a Live House, also known as a music performance space, where different kinds of music can be performed, and it is very popular among young people.

The venue boasts a large area, and its lavish stage equipment sets it apart. The spacious interior offers panoramic views, allowing spectators to enjoy the performance from any corner.

The ever-changing LED lights echoed the singers performing on the main stage, and people without assigned seats waved glow sticks and moved to the rhythm of the music.

"Isn't it exciting? It's completely different from a bar."

The live music was so loud it was making everyone's ears tingle, and people unconsciously raised their voices.

"How can we talk business here?" Jiang Yi shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Enjoy life, who says we can talk about that here?"

Abu lazily took a sip of his drink and said, "Try it, I made it myself."

Jiang Yi suddenly stood up, glared at him, and said, "I'm leaving."

"No, we're already here."

"Then tell me, what else is there that I don't know?" Jiang Yi's lips twitched.

Abu seemed to have thought of something else and gave her another glass of juice.

“You don’t know what the boss is thinking. Even if he had something to say, would he tell me? If I hadn’t happened to run into him that day, who would have known he was eavesdropping on you and Lü Er at the door.”

"That's why he was so angry that night," Jiang Yi recalled his expression that night.

"This is jealousy, but I dare not show it, simply because I'm afraid of scaring you, my ancestor."

Abu drank a glass of fruit wine and exclaimed in admiration.

Jiang Yi sat silently on the sofa, biting her lip, lost in her own world.

"I didn't call you here today to cause you trouble. Some things are easier to resolve if we talk them out. Drink up!"

Abu raised an eyebrow, grinned mischievously, and raised a cocktail.

Jiang Yi frowned. "Will I die if I drink this glass of wine today?"

She had just been discharged from the hospital, and the doctor advised her to abstain from alcohol. How could she joke around with her health?

"Take a sip, and hold it in your mouth."

Abu pursed his lips, looking at the man with an expression of disbelief.

Jiang Yi didn't understand what he was up to, but did as he was told with some skepticism.

"Spit it out, repeat several times."

Jiang did as instructed.

"stand up."

Jiang Yi, like a robot receiving instructions, got up in bewilderment.

Abu shook the champagne vigorously, popped the cork, and the bubbles rushed out towards Jiang Yi, splashing directly onto her dress.

"Abu, is that you?"

Jiang Yi thought of this series of operations and felt very familiar with them. A glint of light flashed in his eyes. Wasn't this the trick that Abu used to pretend to be drunk and run away from the blind date?

"I know you can't drink, but there are some things I need to say when I'm drunk. Besides, if I'm really drunk, can I even think straight except to sleep?"

Abu reached out and flicked her forehead.

"Looks like you've done quite a bit of this?" Jiang Yi joked, but she also stared intently at Abu.

With messy hair, handsome features, and a warm smile, paired with a hip-hop style oversized hoodie, he exudes the charm of a sunny boy.

Her wrist was adorned with a diamond-encrusted bracelet and a gold watch, revealing the true nature of a playboy.

"My third brother is really good."

"I have an idea, can you help me with it?"

"what?"

Suddenly, several people dressed in various colors walked over with wine glasses in their hands. "Mr. Bu."

Abu nodded slightly.

“Sit next to me, Abu, you take the picture.”

Abu shrugged, pursed his lips, and raised an eyebrow helplessly.

A man wearing a pink suit, with his shirt open to reveal his muscular chest, and handsome features that Jiang Yi found somewhat satisfactory.

After arranging the positions in order, they became "exclusive models" and, taking advantage of visual illusions, took several "intimate photos" and sent them to Chi Ruiche.

"Guess how long it will take for the boss to arrive?"

The journey to Abucha is estimated to take 20 minutes.
