The Stars In Your Eyes - Chapter 185
The girls quickly form a group on the sofa near the glass wall. Bai Yutang didn’t know what they were talking about, but their laugh was certainly loud, thoroughly defeating the music which transmitted from outside to inside the room through the installed high tech sound system.
People used to say that men were the creatures more shameless and attracted to beauty through the visual. But that may be an old assumption made by the restrained culture where women are told to stay at home and be obedient.
Women in the modern era are equal with men. They have the same right and duty. No such thing as women have to take care of children at home and men are the only one need to work, earn money.
If you look closely, women now work to earn money for their family, and still take care of the family at home. Together with the men, they have the same responsibility. Men also weren’t ashamed to wash laundry, feed the children, or clean the house.
Women and men are now equal..
Bai Yutang really learned it the hard way. Even in lust, women and men are now equal. Bai Yutang can’t believe when his ear catches his sister’s voice talking about how she wants to touch the pectoral muscle of the blue shirt boy down there.
At first Bai Yutang and the others really can’t catch what the ladies talk about. Bai Yutang and his friend engage in a conversation, congratulating him for his graduation. It’s been more than one month since the four of them gathered together last time. There’s much to talk and certainly a lot of swearing needed to vent about their job.
With who else they can vent how shitty their unreasonable client nor how cruel their boss is when they need to do overtime. Sleep deprivation. Long hour in front of the screen. Heated argument with the vendor. And most of all, the lazy and annoying partner in their own team.
All of these they can’t talk to their friends at work. Not that they don’t have close friends at work, but talking about your boss or your teammate to another person at the same working place is unreasonable. Who can guarantee the person you talk to won’t twist your words and spread it into malicious comment.
That’s what they learned from Zhen Guo and Jian Kang Lu when they gave them tips and tricks in the working place when they graduated, and also what they learned when they saw how Bai Yutang was slandered in his last year of university. It was the best to vent to your trusted person. A person you know for years, and you trust their judgement too.
Bai Yutang was still listening to Liu Xiang’s swear vocabulary, cursing eight generations of his workmate. At that time, his lover who sat next to him suddenly circled his waist and brought Bai Yutang closer to him.
“Sorry Liu Xiang, I borrowed TangTang for a while.” Jian Kang Lu raises his voice volume to defeat the music, cutting Liu Xiang’s lamentation.
Jian Kang Lu brings Bai Yutang and introduces him properly to Hui Yi Zhan. “TangTang, this is Hui Yi Zhan, Sun Hongjia’s relative. He owns this club.”
Bai Yutang politely nods and raises his hand before Hui Yi Zhan does. It was the right courtesy as a younger person to lower yourself in front of the older person.
Jian Kang Lu didn’t let Bai Yutang continue his own introduction, and just tightened his arms around Bai Yutang’s waist. “Xiao Zhan, this is my boyfriend, Bai Yutang. These youngsters are his friend and his sister. Please take care of them if they ever visit your club again.”
Hui Yi Zhan’s face didn’t show any changes after hearing Jian Kang Lu’s introduction. He even teased Jian Kang Lu, “No wonder you still look the same as the last time we met, Jian Ge. Having a young and handsome boyfriend indeed the most effective ageless elixir.”
Jian Kang Lu laughed, “I know I’m old, no need to remind me of that. How about you? Married yet?”
Hui Yi Zhan waved his hand, “Not yet Jian Ge. Please introduce me to beautiful and kind sisters. And how about your boyfriend and his friend applied for our membership card? No need to pay for the first year. My treat.”
Bai Yutang hurriedly rejected it, he could imagine how expensive the yearly fee of this exclusive club was. “No need, Mr. Hui. We rarely come to clubs like this.”
Hui Yi Zhan stared at Bai Yutang for a while, then he chuckled. “That’s good then. I still gain profit if you come here with your friend one day. And if you have my club’s membership, you’ll come here next time instead of coming to another club.”
No wonder this man could hook Jian Kang Lu, Hui Yi Zhan thought. Ordinary men usually can’t stand to reject an offer like this, Some even hug their golden thighs tight, looking for more and more benefits they could squeeze.
At first looking at this ordinary young man, Hui Yi Zhan is just sceptical, and thinks that Bai Yutang is the same like a million young men who latch themselves tightly to men like Jian Kang Lu, like him, like Sun Hongjia.
But it seems he was wrong. A man like Jian Kang Lu won’t be blind and dating a shallow young man.
With that reasonable feedback, how could Bai Yutang with his limited experience could refute? This level of conversation is only suitable for Jian Kang Lu and his friends who were veteran on refused offers from various people.
The waiter and waitress stand by waiting for instruction. They will leave on instruction also. For now they skilfully came and asked these young masters and young ladies, which drink they want to drink first, or they prefer cocktail mix. These waiters also had some skill in mixing cocktails.
Bai Yutang was afraid his sister would go wild and drink anything these waiters offer, thus he excused himself and stood up approaching his sister. He walks there to remind his sister not to drink so much and take it slowly. Bai Yutang still remembers the time when he drank and wasted on his last year’s birthday, when he separated from his lover.
That’s when he found that girls are scarier than boys.
“Look at the table at 2 o’clock. Oh God.. Boys from the capital surely have different levels.” YingYing grabbed Bai Yuren’s hair.
“Ouch! Leave my ponytail alone! It took me almost 15 minutes to make this slick ponytail!”
Feng Mian sits and shakes her head, “You’re wrong. Boys from the capital are still like radishes compared to those male Gods. Maybe they are some models or trainees.”
“How about the boys in T university, JieJie?” Ying Ying asked.
Mu Xiaoya snorted, “Look at the boys at your left. Those are boys from T university.”
“But Tang Ge and Liu Ge are handsome. Jian Ge is also very handsome.” Bai Yuren said.
Fei Hong and Feng Mian answered at the same time, “They are exceptions, especially Jian Ge.”
Mu Xiaoya nodded, “Indeed. Jian Ge is an anomaly. Look at my boyfriend, that’s the majority of male population in T university.”
Feng Mian swipes her hand to the table down there filled with handsome guys. “Those guys down there, my little juniors, are rare specimens you won’t find in T university.”
Bai Yuren starred with her drool dangerously almost dripping out, “Look at the guy with the blue shirt. Wish i could touch his pectoral muscle. Even from above I could see his muscle well sculpted.”
Ying Ying waves her index finger and points to one of the men, “You’re blind. Look at the guy with white shirt, his muscular arms looked so sexy. Imagine he hugs you from behind with those arms.”
Fei Hong nodded, “Agreed with YingYing. The white shirt guy is much better. His face from above shows he has a very good nose. I wonder what his lips look like from the front.”
“Fei Jie, your tastes are truly top notch! I could imagine him dancing like that while hugging me from behind. Oh My God, definitely so sexy.”
“Hug so tight while he put his chin on our shoulder, and dance slowly.” Fei Hong replied to YingYing.
“You’re so tall, Fei Jie. If it was me, his chin would be placed on the top of my head.” YingYing said.
“You already have a boyfriend, Fei Hong! Restrained your eyes! I prefer the black shirt guy, he looked calm and mature.” Feng Mian elbowed her best friend.
“Black shirt? Skinny guy? Are you sure you talk about the guy down there, not talking about Bai Yutang?” Fei Hong cruelly pokes her best friend’s sour point.
Mu Xiaoya laughed, “Fei Jie! You’re so savage! Over kill!”
Both Bai Yuren and YingYing looked at Feng Mian. They try to make sure their hearing is okay. A girl this pretty can’t be someone who notices a guy like his brother.
The lights in the room a little bit dimmed. If the light were sufficient, they would definitely see Feng Mian’s face blushed from embarrassment. “Hey! At least my taste is good. It’s just the contender is too strong. I can’t win the competition. How could an apple compare to an orange?”
Bai Yuren more or less understands what happened. Her mouth widely opened. How come a person as plain as her brother could attract a man like Jian Kang Lu and a woman like Feng Mian. It seems something is wrong with their brain and their eyes.
Hearing this conversation, how could Bai Yutang come and risk his life to be butchered with these girls. So he came back and whispered to Yu Dong, asking him to remind his sister and the girls who start to drink and chat with the waitress. They laughed and pointed at the people down there again. Only God knows what else they talk about.
Jian Kang Lu looked at his kitten whose face flushed with pink colour spreading from his cheek to his ear. “You’re not drinking yet but already blushing. Is this a new way of seducing me?” He whispered in his kitten’s ear. His hands were wandering on Bai Yutang’s back, caressing the sensitive spot on his kitten’s tail bone.
Bai Yutang only pinches his lover’s naughty hand, and engages conversation with his friends again. How has his lover lately become more and more shameless in the public. Okay, this private room can’t be counted as a public area, but still!!
Hui Yi Zhan suddenly stood up, “My Ge is already near. I’ll pick him up down there. Excuse me for a minute, Jian Ge.”
Jian Kang Lu nodded and sipped his tequila. Most men like to drink whiskey or cognac. But when clubbing, Jian Kang Lu enjoys tequila the most.
Soon Sun Hong Jia arrived, followed by Luo Yan and Song Lixia. These people enjoy the conversation without turning on the karaoke system. None of them could sing well anyway.
The dance floor down there is not crowded, but people start to fill it when their favourite song is played. Bai Yuren already drank one glass of dry martini. She grabbed YingYing’s hand. “Let’s go down there, and observe these prime specimens closely!”
