The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

Zhou Rui had a stern look on her face, which made Lin Chuan feel a bit scared.

Men are all like this; the more they are pushed into a corner, the more afraid and nervous they become. And the more they are afraid and nervous, the less interested they become in a woman. Just a moment ago, Lin Chuan was full of interest in Zhou Rui, but in that instant, he also felt a sense of fear.

With fear in his heart, Lin Chuan couldn't help but withdraw his hand.

"I understand," Zhou Rui suddenly smiled and said, "Maybe I'm not doing well enough, so, for the time being, I can't earn your sincere, wholehearted love, right?"

"No!" Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "It's me who's too selfish, me who's too affectionate, me who doesn't deserve your wholehearted, single-minded love."

Zhou Rui revealed a dazzling smile and said, "I believe that with true sincerity, even metal and stone can be made to break. I will definitely do better and definitely win all your love."

"Silly girl." Lin Chuan laughed.

"I'm ignoring you, I'm going up to work." Zhou Rui huffed.

After saying that, she turned around, swinging her ponytail as she went upstairs.

Lin Chuan watched Zhou Rui's departing figure, feeling guilty inside. At this moment, Zhou Kai came over with a heavy heart.

"Chuanzi bro, today you are probably going to offend two people." Zhou Kai sighed.

"What do you mean?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.

"Look..." Zhou Kai pointed at the retreating silhouette of Lu Dapao.

Lin Chuan looked up and indeed, Lu Dapao was walking with his head down, shoulders slumped, like a body that had lost its soul. Only then did Lin Chuan realize the severity of the situation. Zhou Rui was still manageable, but it was not easy to deal with Lu Dapao.

"Let's have a dinner with the guys tonight," Lin Chuan said.

"Okay." Zhou Kai immediately understood Lin Chuan wanted to address the issue.

That evening, time for a late-night snack.

At a barbecue street just outside of Changlin Factory. More than a dozen people gathered together. Lu Dapao was not in high spirits.

Lin Chuan called everyone over and ordered a load of skewers. Three boxes of beer were placed on the table.

"Brothers, drink up," Lin Chuan said.

"Come on." Zhou Kai hurried to open the beers.

Lu Dapao, heavy-hearted, drank in silence, and Lin Chuan also kept quiet as everyone clinked glasses. Zhou Kai, Huang Bo, and others were fiercely challenging each other to drink.

After a few rounds, everyone was pretty drunk.

Lin Chuan smiled, then said, "Da Pao, come on, have a drink!"

"Okay." Lu Dapao forced a smile and quickly took the beer from Lin Chuan.

"Brothers, do you remember what I once said?" Lin Chuan glanced around and said, "What is a brother?"

Zhou Kai, a bit tipsy, stood up smiling and said, "I know!"

"Then tell everyone," Lin Chuan said.

"A brother is someone who, when you're in trouble, rushes to help you, gives you money without expecting it back; a brother is someone you can argue with and fight, but still walk shoulder to shoulder with; a brother is someone who cares how tired you are when everyone else is concerned with how high you fly..." Zhou Kai hurriedly said.

"Well said," Lin Chuan nodded.

"Brothers bond with sincerity, honor parents with our lives," Huang Bo quickly added.

"Exactly," Lin Chuan nodded and said, "I'm wholeheartedly and sincerely devoted to my brothers."

"Chuanzi bro, we are also truly sincere towards you," everyone shouted in unison.

At that moment, Lu Dapao's eyes turned red, and he said, "Chuanzi bro, I... I'm sorry."

"What's there to be sorry for between brothers?" Lin Chuan patted Lu Dapao's shoulder and said, "Come on, let's down this bottle, and let the past be carried away by the wind. A real man does not worry about finding a wife. Even Zhou Kai has found a girlfriend; why can't you, Lu Dapao?"

"I..." Lu Dapao gave a wry smile.

Instantly, Zhou Kai retorted, "Damn it, Chuanzi bro, what do you mean by that? It's like you're saying I'm a loser!"

"You are a loser," Lu Dapao sneered, saying, "In terms of looks or charm, which one am I not better than you?"

"You!" Zhou Kai was taken aback and sneered, "With that dumb look of yours? Find a girlfriend before you talk to me."

"You have a girlfriend but never seem to show her off," Lu Dapao mocked with a disdainful laugh.

Zhou Kai was annoyed, "You little punk, are you jealous that I have a girlfriend? Hmph, believe it or not, I'll bring her out tomorrow for you to feast your eyes on."

"Sure, I'm quite curious about what this girlfriend of yours, who's never shown her face, actually looks like," Lu Dapao retorted unenthusiastically.

"Alright, I'll bring her tomorrow so you can be jealous," Zhou Kai responded with a cold laugh.

The group once again returned to the lively atmosphere of the past, chatting and laughing with each other. Lu Dapao's dilemma seemed to dissolve; perhaps from today onward, he wouldn't harbor any expectations toward Zhou Rui anymore. For him, the best outcome was to forget or keep it deeply hidden.

The gang drank late into the night, and during this summer evening, everyone was particularly spirited. Enjoying skewers and beers—such a delightful experience.

Beer doesn't get one drunk; just take a breather, and the alcohol in the stomach quickly evaporates with the sweat. On summer nights, this street was crowded with people looking for late-night snacks, with each barbecue stall bustling with activity. More than a dozen electric fans continuously extracted the fumes, greasy to the point that the fans were covered in oil. Thin streams of oil dripped down from them, which was quite unsettling to watch.

The group feasted and drank until the early morning came to an end.

Bros who couldn't hold their liquor were staggering all over. For Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao, beer wasn't even considered alcohol but more like a soft drink. After drinking, a couple of trips to the toilet would flush it out. Except for feeling slightly dizzy after drinking half a jin of liquor midway, the aftereffects of alcohol soon faded as time went on.

Lu Dapao, accompanied by the brothers, staggered back to Changlin Factory, singing along the way.

Lin Chuan and Zhou Kai took care of paying the bill.

"Brother Chuan, do you think... Lu Dapao is fine now?" Zhou Kai asked.

"Don't worry, his troubles have been resolved," Lin Chuan smiled and assured him.

"That's good," Zhou Kai nodded.

After the night snacks, Zhou Kai also went back home.

After leaving the snack stall, Lin Chuan was about to head home, but just outside the Changlin Factory, he encountered a graceful figure. She was dressed very seductively—in a short skirt and with a short-sleeved shirt, the buttons at the chest bursting open, lamentably obscured by the large bra, which barely contained the two full mounds. Her long hair fluttered elegantly, making her appear especially charming and filled with seductive allure, leaving no man with the courage to refuse her.

"Fang Yuan," Lin Chuan said in surprise.

"I thought you had forgotten about me," Fang Yuan pouted, clearly unhappy.

"Haha, I've been busy with a lot of stuff lately," Lin Chuan said awkwardly.

Fang Yuan still appeared displeased with Lin Chuan's excuse. She stood with her arms crossed over her chest, leaning slightly against the hood of her red Beetle car. With her head coyly tilted to one side, she exuded a blend of seductive charm and petite cuteness that made her irresistibly intriguing.

It's hard to say if this girl is more youthful and charming or more seductively enchanting.

"Is that your excuse for not asking me out for drinks?" Fang Yuan huffed.

"Haha..." Lin Chuan laughed aloud, reflecting that he indeed hadn't thought much of inviting Fang Yuan lately. He could only mask his awkwardness with a smile.

Fang Yuan pursed her lips and said, "I knew I couldn't get anything out of you. Hurry up and get in the car."

Lin Chuan didn't hesitate or decline but simply got into Fang Yuan's Beetle. As Fang Yuan got into the driver's seat, her two fair, slender legs were blatantly visible, full of allure. Lin Chuan found it difficult to keep staring at those legs for fear that he might not be able to control himself in the car.

Fang Yuan drove at high speed, and in the blink of an eye, they had sped far away.

They arrived at the Night Color Bar.

Noises of revelry along with the intense clash of metal sounds—guitars, bass, drums—all contributed to the cacophony. The bar's resident rock band's thunderous music almost shook the entire establishment. In the dance floor of the bar, a throng of people danced away, while the hostesses flitted from table to table, constantly offering drinks, looking out for potential patrons.

"Hey, Sister Fang," a peddler of ecstasy spotted the beautiful Fang Yuan. His eyes were sharp, and he immediately approached her as soon as she entered. He reached out to grab Fang Yuan's hand.

"You little brat, trying to cop a feel?" Fang Yuan slapped his hand away, saying, "Get lost."

"Ouch..." The peddler took a slap with a grin and quickly retreated to one side, hastily saying, "Sister Fang, you're too old-fashioned, no? Why do you always hang out with this guy? Can't you choose someone more handsome? Hanging with him all the time, aren't you bored yet?"

"None of your business," Fang Yuan glared at him.

"In terms of seniority and standing, I'm stronger than him," the peddler argued helplessly. "Even if we line up, shouldn't it be my turn by now?"

"Go away," Fang Yuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "With that little worm of yours, could you even satisfy me?"

"How would you know without trying!" the peddler grinned.

"Get lost, just looking at your scrawny monkey figure, I have no interest in you," Fang Yuan said and walked away.

Lin Chuan had been watching the entire time, and if he were someone uninformed, he might have thought Fang Yuan was a promiscuous woman with loose morals. However, Lin Chuan knew very well that Fang Yuan's behavior was entirely a façade intended to disguise her true self. She appeared to be a loose woman on the outside, but inside she was very conservative and traditional. She had given her first time to Lin Chuan.
