It was nine in the evening, and the city of Hai City was brightly lit. The bustling streets were a dazzling ribbon of golden light, marking the liveliest time of the night.
Su Yang drove the two of them to Hai City's most famous influencer street, Shangyuan Road.
This street was packed with countless shops for food, drinks, and entertainment, all stylishly decorated. It was a popular gathering spot for trendy young men and women.
After a long search, Su Yang finally found a parking spot and parked the car.
The three of them then strolled leisurely into the crowd.
With their good looks and charming demeanor, Su Yang and the two women immediately drew the attention of many passersby.
"Quick, look over there! There's a handsome guy!" a girl in a white mini-skirt turned to her companion.
"Wow, he really is quite handsome."
"I want to go ask for his WeChat."
"Go ahead, what's the big deal?"
"But he's with two beautiful girls. Maybe one of them is his girlfriend."
"What are you afraid of? We're all out to have fun. If he's already with two girls, why would he care about one or two more?"
"That makes a lot of sense. Should I go then?"
"Go on, give it a try!"
"Okay!" The girl in the short skirt mustered her courage and jogged towards Su Yang, who was not far away.
Su Yang was looking for a bar with Zhao Mengrou and Gu Xiaoman when he suddenly felt someone tap his arm.
Turning his head, he saw a cute girl, about 165 cm tall, with twin ponytails, wearing a short black top and a white mini-skirt, standing beside him.
Su Yang was taken aback and asked, "Are you...?"
"Handsome guy, can... we get to know each other?" the girl said shyly.
Hearing this, Zhao Mengrou and Gu Xiaoman also turned to look at the girl.
They both had expressions of amusement, ready to see how Su Yang would handle the situation.
Su Yang smiled calmly and immediately called out in his mind.
"System, scan! Just tell me the attractiveness score."
[79]
"Okay."
After getting the answer, Su Yang coughed and politely refused the girl in front of him, "I'm sorry, beautiful. My girlfriend is very strict and doesn't let me add people randomly on WeChat."
"Oh, okay then." The pretty girl's face flushed as she was rejected, and she turned and ran away.
"Not bad, Su Yang. You can resist adding such a cute little beauty?" Zhao Mengrou teased him with a smile.
"I told you I'm an honest person, very simple."
"Hmph, that's only because we're here. Otherwise, I don't believe you wouldn't add her."
"I wouldn't add her even if you weren't here. I'm not that kind of casual person."
Su Yang's first statement was indeed true, as the other person's score of 79 was not high enough to meet the system's binding requirements. However, the latter half was just nonsense.
Soon, the three of them chose a craft beer bar called Yin Mi.
The bar had dim lighting and a retro decor. In the center, on a round stage, a long-haired, artistic-looking young man sat playing and singing with a guitar.
Accompanying the slow-paced singing, a hazy, intoxicating atmosphere unique to craft beer pubs filled everyone.
There were already quite a few customers inside, but they were all exclusively young men and women. Su Yang was dazzled by the sight of so many long legs.
Under the guidance of a waiter, the three of them casually found a round table and sat down.
Su Yang took the menu and handed it to the two women, smiling, "You guys order first. See what you want to drink."
Gu Xiaoman took the menu and started looking at it. Her movements were skillful, indicating she was a regular at bars.
"Let's start with a pitcher of your signature IPA, and some small dishes to go with it."
"Certainly. Please wait a moment." The waiter took the menu and turned away.
"Just one pitcher?" Su Yang felt it might not be enough.
Gu Xiaoman smiled and said, "We can order more if it's not enough. This pitcher is quite large, 3 liters."
"Alright, we'll order more if needed."
Just then, Gu Xiaoman took out a pack of women's cigarettes from her Chanel bag.
Seeing this, Su Yang asked, "You smoke?"
"I smoke very little. Usually, I only smoke a few when I come for drinks. I don't smoke otherwise."
"In that case, I'll have one too."
Before long, the beer and snacks were served.
Su Yang poured the wine and pushed it in front of the two of them. Then, he picked up his glass and smiled, "Come! Thank you, two beautiful ladies, for celebrating with me. Let's toast."
"This is the first time you've bought a house. Shouldn't you have a drink by yourself first?" Zhao Mengrou said with a smile, deliberately.
"Alright, alright, I'll toast both of you older sisters first," he said, finishing the wine in his hand in one gulp.
"Mmm, not bad, this wine tastes pretty good."
After speaking, he poured another full glass. The three clinked their glasses, and Zhao Mengrou and Gu Xiaoman congratulated him with smiles, "Congratulations on completing such a major milestone in your life."
"Thank you, two beautiful ladies," Su Yang replied with a smile.
The three tilted their heads back and finished their wine in one go.
"Su Yang, there's a question I've always wanted to ask you," Gu Xiaoman said as she refilled her glass.
"Ask away."
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
Su Yang smiled faintly, "No. I only dated once in college, and we broke up not long after."
"And you haven't dated since? With your looks, that shouldn't be the case. Just now, on the road, beautiful girls came up to ask for your WeChat. You're telling me you've only dated once, and I find that hard to believe?"
Damn it, I didn't have money before, and I didn't take care of myself. I was working overtime at the company all day. Where would I find a girlfriend?
Su Yang muttered to himself and then explained to Gu Xiaoman, "I swear! I've only dated once. It's not that I didn't want to date. Love is something you have to like yourself first, right?"
"Then you haven't met anyone you liked all these years?"
"Not yet," Su Yang shook his head.
After another drink, Su Yang looked at the two of them and deliberately asked, "What about you two? Do you have boyfriends?"
"What do you think?" Zhao Mengrou rolled her eyes. "If we had boyfriends, would we be out eating and drinking with you?"
"Hehe, that's true."
"Are we just going to drink like this?" Gu Xiaoman said at this moment.
"How about we play poker or dice while we drink?"
That's exactly what I meant, hee hee.
"Okay, let's go with dice," Su Yang said, turning to shout at a nearby waiter, "Hey, handsome! Bring me three dice cups."
"Coming right up~"
Soon, the waiter brought the dice cups, and the three of them started playing the classic drinking game.
"Four threes," Su Yang called out first.
"Five threes," Gu Xiaoman called out next.
It was Zhao Mengrou's turn. She looked at her dice and thought for a moment before saying, "Five sixes."
"Open!" Su Yang opened his dice cup without thinking. "I don't have any."
Gu Xiaoman also opened hers and smiled, "I have one."
Zhao Mengrou only had three herself, totaling only four sixes.
She pouted and huffed, "Hmph, it's just drinking, one cup, right?"
"Yes, one cup at a time, no cheating," Su Yang reminded her.
"Tch, just watch my drinking capacity." Zhao Mengrou said, finishing her drink in one go.
"Refreshing!" Su Yang exclaimed.
Time flew by as they played the game, and the drinks went down quickly. Before they knew it, they had ordered two more pitchers of craft beer.
By now, both Zhao Mengrou and Gu Xiaoman's eyes were a bit glazed over. Zhao Mengrou, in particular, had a flushed face and was swaying slightly.
Su Yang used to play this dice game with his roommates in college, so his skills were decent. He had only drunk about ten cups so far.
However, after not drinking for a long time, his head was starting to feel a bit fuzzy.
He raised his hand and checked the time. It was already 12:30 AM.
"Two beautiful ladies, do you want to drink more? You both look like you're about to give out. How about we call it a night?"
"No! Keep drinking!" Zhao Mengrou waved her hand and shouted.
"Still drinking? You're already drunk."
"Who says I'm drunk? Xiaoman, are you drunk?" Zhao Mengrou asked, turning her dazed head towards Gu Xiaoman.
"I'm not drunk! Su Yang is drunk!"
Su Yang rolled his eyes. "I think you two are both drunk. How about we stop drinking? Otherwise, if you pass out, how am I supposed to get you home?"
"Home? What home?"
