Then let the witch offer her loyalty

My female best friend shook her head and said, "I won't say anything about the age, but do you know that Zhao Guangzheng owns his own company, and it seems like he has some problems with its management?"

"I heard from Qiaoqiao that Zhao Guangzheng has been looking for people to borrow money. A few days ago, he took out a large loan and wanted Qiaoqiao to be his guarantor."

"You know, Qiaoqiao isn't very bright, she's a bit slow! Zhao Guangzheng begged her so much that she softened and signed it!"

"What if something happens to Zhao Guangzheng and Qiaoqiao gets implicated?"

Chen Moxin remained indifferent: "We're all adults, we should be responsible for our own actions, what else can we do?"

"Hey? Little Chen, it's been a year, how come you've become so carefree!" Her best friend poked Chen Moxin's waist. "I just wanted to tell you that Zhao Guangzheng looks handsome, but he doesn't seem like a good person."

"What kind soul would ask a girl for money...?"

“I think, since you’ve broken up and Qiaoqiao hasn’t officially started a relationship with that guy yet, why don’t you…why don’t you try to win Qiaoqiao back? We’ll only feel at ease if she’s with you.”

Chen Moxin laughed on the spot: "Big sister, I've been a simp for 6 years, and I finally got rid of it. Now you want me to go back to being a simp?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. I despise sycophants the most."

"Qiaoqiao and I are just classmates and friends now. It's fine for us to hang out together, but let's not interfere in each other's personal lives."

"Okay, that's all for now. I have plans tonight, so I should probably go. Bye-bye."

...

Around 8 p.m., everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and gradually dispersed.

Chen Moxin said goodbye to her classmates and went outside the hotel.

He had been drinking at dinner, so he called a ride-hailing service and prepared to head to the bar to meet Luo Lingyou and the others.

"Xiao Chen." At this moment, a voice called out, and Gu Qiaoqiao ran to Chen Moxin's side.

Chen Moxin nodded to her as a greeting.

Gu Qiaoqiao's pure white floral dress swayed in the evening breeze, carrying the fragrant scent of soap. She casually tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ear and gave Chen Moxin a sweet smile.

“Let’s go back to school together. Tomorrow is our graduation team building day, and our counselor told us to all go back to our dorms tonight.”

Chen Moxin shook her head: "I've already spoken to the counselor. I won't be going back to the dorm tonight. I'll just be at the classroom on time tomorrow."

Gu Qiaoqiao blinked her clear, bright eyes and asked, "Do you have something planned for tonight?"

Chen Moxin didn't hide anything: "Yes, I made plans to go to a bar with some friends."

"A bar?" Gu Qiaoqiao was clearly taken aback. "Why do you want to go to a bar..."

Chen Moxin looked at her suspiciously: "What's wrong with going to a bar? Why do you look so horrified?"

Gu Qiaoqiao seemed a little anxious for some reason and gently advised, "Bars are dangerous. I've heard that fights often break out there, and bad guys sometimes drug people's drinks... Xiao Chen, don't go to those kinds of shady places."

Clearly, this naive little rabbit has a big misunderstanding about bars.

Gu Qiaoqiao's understanding of bars probably comes from gangster movies, where a bunch of people get high and shake their heads on the dance floor, each with a blue dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right, and they'll grab a bottle and smash someone's head in at the drop of a hat.

These kinds of bars do exist, but they are generally only found in chaotic, remote areas.

The bars in the new city are purely nightlife and entertainment venues. As long as they are operating legally, none of the things Gu Qiaoqiao described will happen.

Linking it to "danger" is a stereotype.

Chen Moxin was too lazy to explain to this little white rabbit. Just then, the taxi he had called arrived, and he walked over to get in.

Seeing that Chen Moxin was about to leave, Gu Qiaoqiao actually chased after him and blocked the car door.

Chen Moxin asked, puzzled, "What are you doing?"

Gu Qiaoqiao pleaded, "Xiao Chen, don't go to the bar. It's too dangerous there. Let's go back to school."

"Beep beep—" The car horn sounded a few times.

The driver rolled down the window and leaned out to ask, "Are you going or not? This is my last fare. My wife is urging me to go home. If you're going, get in the car quickly."

"Go, go." Chen Moxin pushed Gu Qiaoqiao away with her hand. "You're so strange. Do I have to ask you for permission to go somewhere? Go with your Guangzheng brother and leave me alone."

"No, I'm going to take charge!" Gu Qiaoqiao stood in front of Chen Moxin without saying a word. She pouted, her expression serious and earnest. "You used to be so well-behaved. How did you go astray in your senior year?"

"Xiao Chen, we've been classmates for seven years. I don't want to see you go from being a model student to a hoodlum who hangs out in bars!"

Before Chen Moxin could say anything, the driver became impatient, cursed "idiot," and stepped on the gas.

"Hey! Hey! Driver!" Chen Moxin exclaimed and took two steps after him, but the driver was in a hurry to go home to be with his wife and ignored him completely.

"No, Gu Qiaoqiao, are you sick? I'm in a hurry!" Chen Moxin couldn't help but curse at her.

Gu Qiaoqiao pouted, looking at him with a slightly aggrieved expression: "Anyway, the car's already left, let's go back to school. Or you can tell your friends that we won't go to the bar tonight, and we can go somewhere safer to hang out."

"Nonsense." Chen Moxin couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to her.

He looked around and spotted a taxi waiting for passengers parked on the side of the road in the distance, so he quickly walked over.

"Xiao Chen!" Gu Qiaoqiao noticed that Chen Moxin had run away and chased after her.

This time, Chen Moxin acted quickly, getting into the car and locking the doors from the inside.

Gu Qiaoqiao couldn't open the car door and anxiously called out from outside, "Please, please don't go to places like that! If you really want to drink... we... we can call our classmates and find a barbecue stall to drink at. You can also call your friends so everyone can get to know each other."

Chen Moxin glanced at her and said, "You're neither my mother nor my girlfriend, so it's none of your business where I go."

"Master, the 'Like Water Flowing Years' bar on Shuiquan Road."

The driver glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, then at Chen Moxin.

"Young man, did you have a fight with your girlfriend? It's not good to leave her here like this, is it?"

"Who's my girlfriend? Don't play matchmaker. Hurry up, I'm in a rush, I'm going to be late."

"That's fine."

The driver pressed the meter, ready to depart.

"Xiao Chen!"

Seeing that Chen Moxin was about to leave, Gu Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth and had no choice but to use her ultimate move in desperation.

"If you go to a bar, I'm never talking to you again!"

Although the little white rabbit is innocent, it doesn't mean it doesn't understand anything.

Chen Moxin confessed his feelings to her 12 times over six years.

12 times!

Of course she knew that the boy in front of her liked her very much.

But love is something you can't force. If there's no feeling, there's no feeling, and the two are destined to only be friends.

Now that Chen Moxin is about to "fall into depravity," Gu Qiaoqiao has no choice but to resort to this desperate measure of making harsh remarks.

She felt that, given her friendship with Chen Moxin, and having already said all that, Chen Moxin would definitely get off the bus.

When I go back to school, I'll treat him to a late-night snack, sincerely apologize, and reason with him. He'll definitely listen.

After all, Xiao Chen has always been a very reasonable person.

However, this time, she was completely wrong.

"Oh, then let's delete each other's contacts. Let's not contact each other again. Goodbye."

Chen Moxin didn't even glance at Gu Qiaoqiao, only leaving behind this heartless remark.

He patted the back of the driver's seat, and the driver turned on the turn signal and drove off.

Gu Qiaoqiao stood there like a statue, staring blankly at the departing vehicle.

The summer night breeze blew in her face, carrying the heat from the barbecue stalls and the noise of the crowd, but she felt like she couldn't hear anything, as if the whole world had gone silent.

The June nights are usually quite hot, but at this moment they bring a bone-chilling coolness.

...

Chapter 102 Sweet Girl Mio Yu Makes a Grand Entrance

Shuiquan Road is located in the heart of the twin cities and is also an entertainment area with a variety of nightlife facilities. It's not too crowded during the day, but the later it gets, the more crowded it becomes and the more congested the road becomes.

At this time of day, the elevated road leading to Shuiquan Road is already quite congested.

In addition, Chen Moxin was delayed for a few minutes outside the Dingsheng Hotel by Gu Qiaoqiao, and to make matters worse, she encountered a car accident on the way and was stuck on the elevated road.

"Are you blind?! How could you crash into me while driving so slowly?!"

"You're such an idiot, why did you suddenly brake like that?!"

"Call the traffic police! Let's see who's at fault!"

"Go ahead and yell, are you afraid of me?"

Beside the two cars that collided, the two drivers were pointing fingers and hurling insults at each other, making it impossible for the surrounding vehicles to move, which could only move slowly.

Chen Moxin leaned back in her chair and let out a lament like a salted fish: "I really exceeded the limit."

It's almost 21 p.m., but at this rate, it won't be able to get there in less than half an hour.

Chen Moxin had no choice but to call Luo Lingyou first.

"Hey, Chen Moxin, where are you? Zhongguo and I are here."

"I'm so sorry, there was a car accident ahead, and I'm stuck on the elevated road."

"Huh?! Are you alright?!"

"I'm fine, it just might take half an hour. Sigh, I had planned the time perfectly, but the girl made me late."

"A girl?" Luo Lingyou caught the key point, his tone turning strange. "What girl?"

Chen Moxin sighed and said, "My high school classmate, the white moonlight I used to like, she insisted that bars were dangerous and blocked me from coming."

Luo Miaoyou chuckled after hearing this: "How can your white moonlight be so funny? What kind of person is she?"

Chen Moxin casually said, "She's the kind of girl next door who's gentle and sweet-natured, doesn't have any bad intentions, looks especially cute and well-behaved, and makes people want to protect her."

“Oh...so you like this kind of thing…” Luo Lingyou murmured thoughtfully.

Then, she said crisply, "It's okay, no rush, take your time, be careful on the road, bye-bye."

Not long after they hung up, another call came in.

This time it was Alexander who called.

"Brother Chen, what did you say to Mio?"

"Huh? What did I say? I didn't say anything."

"Then why did she suddenly run away?"

"Ran away? What do you mean?"

"She just finished talking to you on the phone, and then suddenly ran away without saying a word. We don't know where she is now."

"Um... she sometimes just suddenly goes crazy, I don't understand it either."

"Brother Chen, where are you now?"

"I'm stuck in traffic, it'll be another half hour, you guys wait for me there."

"Okay, see you later."

...

Around 10 o'clock, Chen Moxin finally arrived at the Shuiquan Road bar street.

Neon lights, as colorful as candy wrappers, covered the walls and signs of the entire street, casting dappled shadows on people's faces. Various loudspeakers blared pop music, making the night lively and noisy.

The two members of the new group stood out in the crowd.

Lei Lie, needless to say, is nearly two meters tall and strong. Standing there, he's like a city wall. Plus, with that tight tank vest, he exudes sexual tension.

Just then, a heavily made-up woman walked by, her eyes greedily scanning the muscular, bronze-colored body from head to toe. Then, she couldn't help but lick her lips and say, "Handsome, wanna hook up?"

Lei Lie blinked: "Huh? What are you meeting up for?"

The woman said with an ambiguous expression, "What do you think? Of course, it's ~cannon."

Lei Lie was stunned: "Cannon? You can fire a cannon?!"

The woman chuckled: "Of course, my artillery skills are top-notch."
