Ye Zhiqiu watched the man and woman leave with a blank expression and cold eyes.
He was no longer the naive boy he used to be and knew that a 'green tea' like Chen Yuan was not worth lingering over, but he was truly disgusted by the two of them.
"Fourth Bro, don't mind them. It's better to break up with this kind of woman sooner. Today, you've completely seen her true colors."
Dorm Leader Zhou Hua comforted him. Ye Zhiqiu nodded, and the group sat down again, but the relaxed atmosphere had been completely ruined by the earlier incident.
Xie Jun said coldly, "Li Hongfei's nickname is 'Brother Fei'. He's a notorious spendthrift in his circle, specializing in gold-digging 'green teas' and twelfth-tier celebrities. I estimate he's just toying with Chen Yuan too."
Ye Zhiqiu responded indifferently, "They're both willing participants."
To be honest, hadn't he seen this kind of situation enough in his previous life? He just hadn't expected it to happen to himself one day.
On the other side, as the time approached the peak for evening consumption, the shop was almost full. After Li Hongfei and Chen Yuan sat down at a table not far from the 206 Dormitory's four, their gazes casually swept around the shop.
As his sight passed over the direction where Yu Caiwei and Song Mei were sitting in the corner, Li Hongfei's gaze suddenly paused.
It must be said that Li Hongfei's 'sharpness' of vision was no less than Yang Hongwei's. As a seasoned lecher, Li Hongfei immediately judged that the beauty, of whom he could only see a not-so-clear side profile, was definitely a rare existence.
Normally, Li Hongfei would have gone straight to hit on her. A Lamborghini car key placed on the table, followed by a seemingly accidental flash of his seven-figure watch, had always been successful.
But today, with Chen Yuan by his side, and with the woman next to him not yet truly 'taken', even if Li Hongfei was shameless, it wouldn't be good to immediately turn and show affection to another table.
However, for a lecherous fiend to see a rare 'prey' and do nothing, quietly waiting for the prey to slip away, was more unbearable than an itch. Li Hongfei had been absent-minded while chatting with Chen Yuan ever since he sat down, his gaze occasionally and inadvertently drifting in that direction.
The more Li Hongfei looked, the more he affirmed his judgment: the woman opposite was definitely a top-tier beauty, an existence many levels higher than Chen Yuan in front of him!
Just then, the resident Singer performing on the bar's stage had just finished a song and was giving his thanks.
Li Hongfei's eyes lit up. Under Chen Yuan's gaze, he stood up and walked to the female resident Singer beside the stage.
"Hello, I'd like to sing a song for my girlfriend. Is it convenient to borrow your guitar?"
It was a polite question, but the tone was undeniable.
As a Singer who had long frequented bars, she naturally deduced Li Hongfei's identity through some details; he was definitely a big client she couldn't afford to offend.
This kind of situation was also very normal in a bar, and the resident Singer was happy to take a break, so she had no objections.
Li Hongfei sat in the resident Singer's spot. He wasn't very tall, so he didn't even need to adjust the microphone.
"Ahem."
A clear cough, amplified by the expensive sound system, spread throughout the entire bar, attracting the attention of most of the customers.
Seeing that the beauty in the corner also seemed to be attracted by him, her gaze glancing in his direction, Li Hongfei was secretly pleased and struck what he considered his most handsome pose.
"Excuse me, this song is dedicated to a girl in the audience. Although it's our first meeting, her beauty has left an indelible impression on me. I hope she likes it."
Chen Yuan was overjoyed, thinking Li Hongfei was talking about herself. Although she was a little confused by the 'first meeting' in his words, they hadn't known each other for long, so she didn't think too deeply about it.
What was the purpose of debuting? If she could really hook up with this rich second generation, debuting or not wouldn't matter. This was Chen Yuan's thought.
Little did she know, when he said this, Li Hongfei's gaze on stage went straight past Chen Yuan, staring 'deeply' and unblinkingly at Yu Caiwei, who was sitting in the corner.
Li Hongfei naturally knew how to play guitar and sing. After all, his family owned an entertainment company, so he could hire any excellent teacher he wanted to learn from.
Unfortunately, he couldn't endure the hardship, and even playing the guitar was only for picking up girls, making it the longest-persisted activity for him.
But sometimes, girls just fall for this: a bit of talent, a touch of romance, plus a financial offensive. In Li Hongfei's experience, these three tactics were almost always successful.
Unfortunately, it seemed that the breathtakingly beautiful woman only glanced at him once before turning her head away.
Li Hongfei didn't give up. His fingers strummed the strings, and he sang passionately.
The audience, unaware of the situation, reacted differently, but most people were happy to see this kind of 'gentleman suddenly going on stage to sing passionately' display of affection.
"Wow, how romantic! His girlfriend is so lucky."
A woman, looking at the Richard Mille watch on Li Hongfei's wrist as he strummed the strings, her eyes sparkling, said.
"It actually sounds pretty good."
"Barely acceptable, not as good as the resident Singer just now, but not bad either..."
While the singing might have been considered decent by others, in the ears of Yu Caiwei, a professional Singer, it was full of flaws. Many of the superfluous and affected singing styles were truly far removed from her musical philosophy.
Coupled with Li Hongfei's constant harassing glances from the stage, Yu Caiwei's brows furrowed.
Song Mei looked at Yu Caiwei in front of her and sighed helplessly. Since childhood, her niece had encountered this situation countless times because of her beauty.
Over at the 206 Dormitory, Yang Hongwei spat, disdainfully saying, "What's he showing off for? With that level, he has the nerve to go on stage? Fourth Bro could easily beat him in minutes."
Zhou Hua and Xie Jun strongly agreed.
Ye Zhiqiu was unconcerned about the situation on stage. He sucked the last sip of his cocktail into his throat. The alcohol's kick was gradually setting in, and in his tipsy state, his thoughts were already drifting somewhere unknown.
After the song ended, Li Hongfei felt a bit defeated. His 'prey' had only glanced at him at the very beginning, and after that, she seemed indifferent.
This was very unfavorable for the progression of his subsequent approach plan.
Casually handing the guitar to the resident Singer, Li Hongfei's face darkened as he walked off the stage.
Passing by the table of the three from 206 Dormitory, Li Hongfei glanced at Ye Zhiqiu. For some inexplicable reason, the sight of the other's handsome face annoyed him greatly. He walked directly up to the four of them and said coldly.
"I heard you're performing at the Huahai Media University's gala. I suppose you sing quite well?"
"Care to show off your skills on stage?"
Li Hongfei's gaze was cold and sinister as he provocatively looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said, "Do you dare?"
"Let me see for myself."
This was purely to be disgusting. Li Hongfei, after all, had been taught by famous teachers, and although he wasn't yet at a professional level, he wasn't far off. Ye Zhiqiu could indeed sing, but his skill level was indeed inferior to his.
If Ye Zhiqiu went on stage and sang worse than him, he would make a fool of himself. If he didn't go on stage after such a provocation, Ye Zhiqiu would implicitly be at a disadvantage.
The other three couldn't stand it. Xie Jun suddenly stood up with a "whoosh" and angrily said, "What's wrong with you?"
"Xie Jun!"
Suddenly, a calm voice interrupted Xie Jun.
Ye Zhiqiu slowly stood up, patted the agitated Xie Jun's shoulder, and without even glancing at Li Hongfei, walked towards the stage with a slightly unsteady gait.
