The Inevitable Clash
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Turns out, Qin Yang was right. Although He Tianfeng was still young, he was indeed a master at drinking. He could come up with all sorts of reasons to justify their drinking. They would drink bottle after bottle, glass after glass—literally nonstop.
The four ladies were all quite good at drinking, and each of them had finished at least three to four bottles in the end while Youyou guzzled off five. Although Youyou's eyes had turned a little watery, they all remained sober, looking like this was nothing unusual.
Aa he was finishing his drink, it obvious to Qin Yang that He Tianfeng was flirting with Youyou and she was certainly showing interest in He Tianfeng as well given his generosity, handsome looks, and good family standing.
In the university, someone like He Tianfeng, who comes from a rich family, who could treat girls with generosity and who knows how to sweet talk while looking handsome was definitely a hot treat among the girls.
The dinner ended and the meal cost them more than 1,300 Yuan including the tip which is a considerable sum for an average student, but He Tianfeng was not hesitant and paid the bill quickly.
After looking at his watch, He Tianfeng called out to Youyou and the girls, "It's still early, how about going to Bar 838?"
Youyou smiled and asked, "Are you paying, Mr. Rich Man He?"
He Tianfeng laughed and replied, "Of course! All the expenses tonight are on me!"
Youyou had turned around to the other three and quietly inquired quietly. Then, she faced them again and smiled, "We can't stay out too late."
He Tianfeng also smiled, "838 is just near the campus, it will only take us less than ten minutes if we walk. It's just almost 8 now and we can return to the dorm by 10:30. It'll be fine."
"Fine, let's go."
He Tianfeng turned to Qin Yang and the others and beckoned at them with a grin, "Let's go, Bros!"
When the girls went ahead, Sun Xiaodong used the opportunity to voice out his concern in a soft tone, "You've already spent a lot during the dinner and I think the bar definitely wouldn't be cheap. Why don't you take the girls there and we'll just go back to the dorm?"
He Tianfeng smiled and spoke with pride, "Don't disappoint us, let's go together. This amount of money isn't even a lot, your bro here has more than enough to spend. I saw that you and Zhou Huan were having a good time. If you could capture this beauty's heart, then my money wouldn't be spent in vain."
He then focused on Qin Yang and Lin Zhu and lectured them like a deputy giving orders, "Qin Yang, Lin Zhu, don't be shy when you see a beauty that you like. If you don't flirt or confess, how will she know that you're interested? We still didn't know each other too well before this during dinner but aren't we much closer now? When we're at the bar later, don't worry and just have some fun!"
He Tianyang was like a senior officer in the love department as he talked to Qin Yang and Lin Zhu. Qin Yang nodded with a smile, looking calm and collected, while Lin Zhu, though he seemed somewhat uneasy, still nodded shyly.
Although He Tianfeng was acting like an older brother and a good teacher, he was not condescending when he talked, and that made him a little less annoying.
The eight of them took two taxies and went straight to Bar 838. After entering, He Tianfeng led them to a sofa and ordered two dozen bottles of beer and some snacks.
Most of the customers of Bar 838 were students from Zhonghai University because of its proximity. Their prices were not that costly and so it was brimming with young people. Young men and women were moving their bodies to the music as the bar lights flickered and the house music played, pumping the bustling bar with the restless flavor of youth.
He Tianfeng, who sat next to Youyou, asked the others to sit in pairs, then proposed to play group games. The rules were simple: a man and a woman would form a team, and each team would send a representative to play games against the other pairs' representatives. After one round, the next team would take over.
Such drinking games were common for those who frequently visited night bars, but for someone like Sun Xiaodong and Lin Zhu, who had just started their freshman year in university, everything was novel and absolutely exciting.
Qin Yang was new with such scenes. Though there was still a month before his 20th birthday, he has been visiting bars already in the past three years. He couldn't help it; King Kong just loved flirting with girls in bars, and he would always drag Qin Yang with him, beautifully branding it as 'experiencing the beauties of life.'
And it was not just limited to bars. Even though everyone in the Lightning Squad regarded Qin Yang as the leader with extreme respect and had given him absolute authority when they were on missions, they would find fun ways in 'leading Qin Yang astray' whenever they're free because "he's an adult, and he should do adult things."
On the other side of the bar, there was a group that sat down on a corner sofa. One of them was Zhang Bin, whom Qin Yang had met earlier on the train.
Sitting across Zhang Bin was a young man who was a little over twenty with a buzz-cut head and pierced ears. He leaned against the sofa and smiled as he asked, "Brother Bin, now that we're here, what's the matter?"
Zhang Bin had a girl in his arms who was wearing smoky makeup around eighteen or nineteen years old. He finished a glass of wine in one gulp and put the glass down heavily.
"I want you to 'clean up' someone for me."
The buzz-cut guy chuckled and asked, "Who are we 'cleaning up,' though? We are still students, Brother Bin. I'm afraid we won't be suitable for the job."
Zhang Bin smiled and said, "I certainly wouldn't require your assistance if it's someone outside of campus. I want you to get rid of a new student from your school, someone from the English Department."
The buzz-cut guy was dumbfounded and muttered in confusion, "Who's that stupid guy that dared to trigger you? Isn't it just the new students' registration day today?"
Zhang Bin coldly snorted. "Yeah, he was on his way to register when I was on my way back. We ended up taking the same train. This brat showed off in front of me and humiliated me. I won't be satisfied until I get my revenge. I don't want you to do much, just give him a hard time until he quits."
The buzz-cut guy smiled and looked relieved, "A new student from another city. That's even easier, I'll come up with some random excuse to get rid of him. Just leave it to me."
Zhang Bin nodded in satisfaction. "Good! Liu An, do this for me, and I won't let you do this for nothing."
The buzz-cut guy agreed and raised his glass, "Everybody knows the generosity of Brother Bin. So, what's his name? I can do it tomorrow. It'll also be a good chance for me to show the freshman who's boss."
Zhang Bin hummed coldly as he held his glass in hand. "Qin Yang, Qin from the 'Qin Dynasty' and Yang as in sunshine. He's from the English Department..."
Zhang Bin suddenly stopped talking. He held the glass midway to his mouth as he stared at something straight ahead.
About two or three tables away, a tall young man stood up from the sofa and a beam of light landed on the youth's face. Wasn't that the very same Qin Yang that he was talking about?
Zhang Bin blinked again and confirmed that he was correct. He suddenly sneered and put down his glass. He turned his head to Liu An, the buzz-cut guy, and flatly said, "Looks like I really have some fate with him. Speak of the devil, and there he is."
Liu An turned his head and saw Qin Yang when he followed the direction that Zhang Bin was looking at. Then, he asked surprisingly, "That's the person you want us to 'clean up'?"
Zhang Bin nodded with gloomy eyes, "Yes, that's him!"
Liu An laughed and said, "This saves us the trouble of hunting him down! Brother Bin, just sit and watch."
