The beginning of love is a glance, and later, in the long stretch of ti, they fall for each other in the wilderness, boundless and never reaching the edge. —Xi Yan
Twenty years later—
Shi Yu and Shen Cheng moved abroad to settle, and Shi Tianjue also followed them, while Shi Aoju stayed in the country to develop his career.
Dusk falls, and the city lights begin to glow.
The warm amber streetlights envelop the entire night market in an ambiance of ambiguity.
This extravagantly prosperous city, its indulgent nightlife is just beginning.
Ciaos, the largest place of entertainnt, is located in the center of Night City.
Those who can afford to spend money here are all rich or noble, either wealthy or prestigious.
It is said that this is also a den of illegal transactions.
But due to the powerful forces behind it, no one obstructs the spread of darkness.
The luxurious building exudes a sense of decadence, and in the hall filled with colorful lights, the heavy and oppressive bar counter is lined with various alcoholic beverages, the pungent sll of alcohol and tobacco pervading the entire hall.
Su Jiuyi held her breath, forcing herself to suppress the overwhelming stench of alcohol bursting from her chest, stumbling into the restroom, gagging uncomfortably at the sink.
Just now, when delivering wine to room 304, several potbellied bosses insisted she drink a few glasses.
She was just a waitress delivering drinks, unable to resist the excessive demands of the guests, and had no choice but to down drink after drink.
Her alcohol tolerance was poor; just a single glass and she’d be out. Even the four small glasses she had just been forced to drink was her limit.
Fortunately, a passing colleague ca to her rescue in ti, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
After vomiting, Su Jiuyi felt much better in her stomach. She turned on the faucet to wash up before stumbling out of the restroom.
Her body was a bit weak, feeling as though she was stepping on cotton, light and floaty.
"Su Jiuyi, a gentleman in room 4203 VIP has ordered vintage red wine."
In her earpiece, the manager’s voice ca through the waiter’s channel.
Su Jiuyi raised her hand and glanced at her watch; it was about ten minutes to the end of her shift. Once she delivered this bottle of red wine, she’d be free for the day.
She took a deep breath and stood upright.
Her work uniform wrapped around her graceful figure, her features were delicate, her skin tender and smooth, with her cheeks tinged with a slight flush from the alcohol.
Under the glass lamps, the blurred scenery was srizing as she carried the red wine towards the VIP room on the top floor.
"Hello, your red wine."
Standing at the door, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
But after a long ti, there was no sign of movent inside the room.
"Is anyone there?"
She knocked harder.
But the response was still the sa silence as before.
No one?
Thinking this, Su Jiuyi placed her hand on the doorknob, gently pressed it, and the door opened uncontrollably.
The dim warm light from the room shone out, enveloping the entire room in a blurry, unreal atmosphere.
Su Jiuyi walked in, imdiately overwheld by a rich aroma of spices.
Already dizzy from drinking earlier, her mind turned into a haze upon slling this scent.
The pungent sll brought a wave of nausea rushing back to her chest.
She resisted the discomfort, walked slowly to the coffee table, wanting to put down the wine and then leave.
Just as she walked over, she saw a man sitting on the large double bed beside her.
He was facing away from her, his features and expression unclear, but judging from his physique, he seed like a young man.
"Sir?"
Su Jiuyi rubbed her eyes, her voice low and weak, her hands and feet beginning to feel a bit uncoordinated.
Suddenly she felt her entire body beco scalding hot, even more intense than the feeling she had while drinking earlier.
