Nights were cold in winter, the famous Old Liu Barbeque, located in a dilapidated and quiet alley, still got frequent customers. Just three allies away from here was the well-known Bar Street in Xiucheng. With bawdy music and dazzling lights, the street presented a completely different atmosphere.
When Lou Cheng was a junior in high school, sitting in front of him was a dandy, who had quitted the college entrance examination. He bragged about being a pimp there. However, Lou Cheng only came this neighborhood for barbeque and never went to one of the bars, as he thought the poor security around discos and bars would certainly get people in trouble.
Listening to the music in the air and smelling the pleasant smokiness of the grilled food, Lou Cheng was starving, as if a hand was about to reach out from his throat. Drinking mineral water only made him hungrier.
"Fatty Jiang, have you set a date for our get-together?" Lou Cheng tried to shift his attention back to their chat.
