Then let the witch offer her loyalty

Lei Lie immediately became interested and asked, "Sister, what kind of artillery do you usually use? 105mm assault guns or 122mm towed howitzers?"

"...Huh?" The woman was completely dumbfounded.

Lei Lie rubbed his hands together and said excitedly, "I like the 155mm heavy artillery the most. One shot and, my god, no matter how sturdy the bunker is, it will blow it up to the ground."

"..." The woman gave him a look as if he were an idiot, and then left.

Alexander was surrounded by several young women.

The girls all assumed the handsome guy was a foreigner and greeted him enthusiastically in a foreign language: "Hi, how are you?"

Alexander replied solemnly in the Imperial language: "Girls, I am an Imperial citizen just like you, not a foreigner. Don't come up here with 'how are you'."

"Also, let me tell you, stay away from those stupid foreigners. These days, many foreigners who come to the Empire are no good. Don't be an easy girl, don't give your money to these foreign trash."

A foreigner calling other foreigners "foreign trash" is such an abstract statement that it seems like he's deliberately trying to provoke people, which makes the girls laugh even harder.

"Haha, handsome guy, you're so funny!"

"You speak Imperial English so well, let's practice foreign languages ​​together from now on!"

"Brother, do you like steak? I'm really good at making steak, come to my house next time and I'll make it for you!"

Alexander impatiently shooed them away: "Get out of here! I've already told you I'm not a foreigner! The thing I hate most in my life is foreigners!"

Chen Moxin smiled when he saw this scene. He was just about to go over and ask the two where Luo Lingyou was when he heard a clear and sweet voice behind him.

"Chen Moxin~"

Chen Moxin turned her head and was immediately drawn to the view.

Luo Lingyou stood behind, wearing a pure white dress, delicate black leather shoes, and white socks with a little lace trim that covered her ankles, revealing a small section of her fair and translucent calves.

Her long white hair cascaded down like winter snow, with two cute braids tied on either side with black ribbons. A small heart was painted with lipstick at the corner of her eye, and just looking at her made one feel the sweetness of frosting sugar.

Feeling Chen Moxin's gaze, Luo Lingyou's cheeks flushed slightly. She nodded slightly and looked at him shyly: "Am I cute today?"

Chen Moxin nodded sincerely: "Of course, she's so cute."

Luo Lingyou smiled happily, put her hands behind her back, and asked playfully, "So~ between me and your white moonlight, who is cuter?"

Chen Moxin said without hesitation, "Don't ask, just because you're cute is enough."

Luo Lingyou pouted and poked Chen Moxin's waist, saying angrily, "Hmph, she asks because she's cute, right?"

"No," Chen Moxin said decisively, "She won't even have a chance to ask me, because I've already deleted her contact information."

Luo Lingyou's eyes widened in surprise. "Huh? Why did you delete her?"

Chen Moxin gently pinched Luo Lingyou's delicate cheek, her smile full of doting affection: "You're enough for my cute little sister."

Chapter 103 Brother Chen's Sticky Ties

Upon hearing Chen Moxin's words, Luo Lingyou's gaze darted around in a flustered manner, his face flushed red like a ripe apple, and he lowered his head, too shy to speak.

"Brother Chen!" At this moment, Alexander and Lei Lie noticed Chen Moxin and ran over.

When they saw Luo Lingyou, they were both taken aback, thinking: Huh, why did you change your clothes? Where did that super sexy off-shoulder tank top go?

Chen Moxin waved to them: "I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's go have a drink."

The four of them went into the bar together.

Like Water Flows Through the Years is a music bar. As soon as you enter, you can see the DJ leading the rhythm on a high platform, occasionally raising his hand to stir up the atmosphere.

The booths were packed with people. Some were drinking heavily, shouting and yelling, while others were playing dice, bursting into laughter. In the corner, couples were whispering intimately to each other, exchanging sweet nothings.

Along the way, Chen Moxin, Alexander, and Lei Lie walked ahead, chatting and laughing.

Luo Lingyou gently tugged at Chen Moxin's sleeve and obediently followed behind him.

She was like a kitten raised at home, suddenly taken out of the house by her owner. She huddled close to Chen Moxin, not daring to stray even a step away, her eyes filled with confusion and fear as she looked around.

Because of her outstanding appearance, she was constantly stared at by male patrons along the way. She became even more nervous when stared at, keeping her face down and not daring to lift her head.

These drinkers are all seasoned veterans of the nightlife scene, spending their days surrounded by countless women.

Bars are never short of beautiful women, and girls often wear JK uniforms or maid dresses, paired with white stockings and cat ear headbands, making themselves look like harmless little lambs.

But if you think about it carefully, can someone who dares to dress like that in a bar be a complete novice?

The more you see these kinds of girls, the more you'll find that no matter how well-behaved they dress, their words and actions inevitably reveal a sense of worldliness.

That's why the patrons could tell at a glance that Luo Lingyou was different from those girls who pretended to be naive.

The conservative white dress that covered her calves, the shy gaze that dared not look up at people, the constant dependence on the boy, and the every move she made evoked a protective instinct in people.

In an instant, countless eyes were fixed on Chen Moxin with intense jealousy.

However, the scenario of "a drunk passerby coming up to act arrogant and provoke you, only to be slapped in the face and killed by Young Master Chen" did not occur.

Firstly, the audience at Like Water Flows is relatively young, and there are very few thuggish gangsters wearing big gold chains; everyone is quite respectable.

More importantly, Chen Moxin and her group had an extremely luxurious entourage.

At first glance, it looks exactly like "a rich young master taking his sweetheart out for fun, accompanied by foreign friends and muscular bodyguards".

Want to cause trouble? You should take a look at Lei Lie's muscles first. If he throws a punch, he'll be kneeling on the ground crying and begging you not to die.

If things escalate and someone calls the police, do you think the sheriff will side with you or with that blond, blue-eyed foreign gentleman?

Thus, even though Chen Moxin and the others became the focus of attention, they still arrived at their reserved seats without any hindrance.

"Young Master Chen, hello, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you all. What would you like to drink?" The owner seemed to have been waiting for Chen Moxin all along, and he handed over the wine list with great respect, his humility evident in his words.

Chen Moxin chose this place to drink because the Si Shui Nian Hua Bar has a good reputation and is suitable for young people.

Secondly, the owner of this shop is an acquaintance of Chen Wenzhe.

This boss was originally a "drifter" who came to the Twin Cities with his life savings to make a living, but he was scammed out of all his money by a telecom fraud.

Just as he was squatting by the roadside, eating a hard steamed bun and silently shedding tears, Old Chen happened to pass by.

Old Chen saw a man crying and started talking to him.

After hearing the other person's story, Old Chen didn't know whether this guy was a genuine person in dire straits or a fraudster.

With the intention of doing good deeds while passing by, Old Chen casually transferred one million to him.

So what if I got scammed? It's just a little bit of change, no big deal.

If the other party is truly in trouble, this amount of money can help to some extent.

With the million yuan given by Lao Chen, this boss made a comeback and opened the "Like Water Flowing Years" bar with his keen business sense. Now, his weekly turnover is tens of millions of yuan, and he has turned his life around.

The boss himself is also a very good person; he never forgets the source of the good fortune and repays kindness tenfold.

Regardless of whether Lao Chen wanted it or not, he would transfer 50% of the operating profit to Lao Chen's account every month.

As for coming to drink, needless to say, the most prestigious VIP booths are always empty all year round. No matter what level of guest you are, you can't book them because they are always reserved for Old Chen.

Tonight, the son of our great benefactor came to the bar, and the VIP booth, which had been empty for years, was finally put to use. Naturally, the owner came to greet him personally.

Chen Moxin took the wine list and handed it to Luo Lingyou, who was sitting next to her: "Take a look and see what you'd like to drink?"

Luo Lingyou said somewhat embarrassedly, "I don't drink alcohol... Can I have a soft drink instead?"

The shop owner enthusiastically handed over another list: "These are all non-alcoholic beverages, miss, would you like to take a look?"

Luo Lingyou thanked her and obediently took the wine list with both hands. As she flipped through it, a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face for some reason.

She closed the wine list and put it back on the table, gently tugged at Chen Moxin's sleeve with her small hand, and whispered, "These drinks are too expensive, I'll just have water."

Chen Moxin laughed: "What, trying to save me money? Order whatever you want to drink. The owner is an acquaintance of my dad, so we don't have to pay for drinks here."

The innkeeper nodded slightly and said respectfully, "Young Master Chen is our most honored guest. There's no reason for him to spend money at our humble establishment. All drinks for everyone tonight will be on me!"

Luo Lingyou's rosy lips were slightly parted as she stared blankly at Chen Moxin, her eyes filled with admiration and longing for the strong.

She pursed her lips, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said, "Then... Brother Chen, you help me choose, I'll listen to you."

Chen Moxin turned to look at her: "Wait, what did you call me? Brother Chen?"

Luo Lingyou smiled sweetly: "That's right, you're three years older than me, so calling you 'brother' isn't wrong. From now on, I'll call you Brother Chen, okay?"

"It's good..." Chen Moxin raised an eyebrow, "but why do I have a creepy feeling about it?"

Luo Lingyou wrinkled her delicate little nose, pouted, and said, "Is Brother Chen saying I'm bad?"

Chen Moxin laughed heartily and pinched her cheek: "No, Mio, call me whatever you want. Here, let me order you a drink."

Chapter 104 He really abandoned you

Human sorrows and joys are not interlinked.

On this early summer night in June, some friends met up at a bar and chatted happily.

Someone was sued and, after pleading in vain under the firm stance of the opposing lawyer, broke down in tears in desperation when faced with a huge compensation claim.

There was also someone whose friendship of seven years, from high school to university, suddenly broke down, leaving him dejected and speechless.

Gu Qiaoqiao lay on her bed, her eyes red and swollen, clearly having just cried.

She held her phone, a chat window open on the screen, the other person's contact name was "Classmate Xiao Chen".

The information is as follows: June 14th, 58th year of the Long Night:

[Moon Cookie]: Xiao Chen, please don't put flowers downstairs and shout from below my dorm anymore...

[Moon Cookie]: The dorm supervisor just came to our room and criticized us. This kind of thing isn't good for the class...

[Moon Cookie]: I've told you many times that we're not compatible and it's impossible for us to be together.
