Milk Bath

Just then, Tang Ziyun and the others came in from outside.

Tang Ziyun had watched the entire process from outside, her heart in her throat the whole time.

She did not relax until she saw Su Yang dispatch the two men with ease.

Ding! Detected Tang Ziyun's favorability toward the host has risen to 50. Reward: 800,000.

Ding! Detected Shen Yixue's favorability toward the host has risen to 50. Reward: 800,000.

"Su Yang, are you all right?" Tang Ziyun walked up to him and asked.

Su Yang smiled and shook his head. "I'm fine. Haven't you all left yet?"

"We're about to."

Tang Ziyun was about to say something else when the sound of police sirens came from outside the bar.

Seeing that the police had arrived, Tang Ziyun looked at Su Yang and smiled sweetly. "We won't disturb you here any longer. We'll be leaving first."

"Okay. Goodbye." Su Yang nodded.

After Tang Ziyun and the others left, six police officers entered the bar.

After questioning them, the police pulled up the surveillance footage for evidence. Su Yang and the others then followed them to the station to give their statements.

It took about an hour and a half to clear everything up. Only then did they leave the police station.

As they walked along the road, Meng Wenzhou spoke.

"Haozi, calculate tonight's losses when you get back and tell me. I'll transfer the money to you later."

Chen Hao waved his hand with a smile. "Hey, it's nothing. It didn't cost much. I'll handle it myself."

"That won't do. Let's keep things separate. We damaged the stuff, so we should compensate you."

Su Yang chimed in from the side. "Old Meng, let me handle it. I broke most of the tables and chairs, so once you've calculated the cost, I'll pay Chen Hao double."

Chen Hao looked at the two of them and smiled. "Why are you being so polite? How much could those tables and chairs be worth? I can just replace them myself. You got into trouble at my establishment—how could I possibly make you pay?"

At this point, he looked at Su Yang. "Besides, if Brother Su hadn't stepped in earlier, my head would probably have been split open. You helped me, and I'm supposed to turn around and ask you for money? That wouldn't make sense no matter how you looked at it."

"That's not how you should put it. You're Old Meng's friend, and now that we've met tonight, you're my friend too. If someone beat you up, how could I not help? Besides, those guys came looking for trouble on purpose."

Su Yang paused, then continued, "The tables and chairs may not be worth much, but you'll have to close for several days to make repairs because of this. Isn't that a loss too? So I have to pay you—and I should pay extra."

Su Yang looked at Chen Hao and Meng Wenzhou.

The two men were about to speak when Su Yang waved them off. "No need to say anything else. Just calculate it when you get back and tell me. Let's add each other on WeChat."

As he spoke, he took out his phone, opened his QR code, and held it out in front of Chen Hao.

Chen Hao glanced at Meng Wenzhou and smiled helplessly. "Sigh, I really can't argue with you two. All right, then. I'll calculate everything when I get back and tell you."

After the two added each other on WeChat, Chen Hao hailed a taxi and returned to the bar to deal with the aftermath.

Meng Wenzhou patted Su Yang on the shoulder. "We owe you one tonight. Otherwise, Haozi would probably have ended up in the hospital. I really didn't misjudge you as a friend. Whenever trouble comes, you're truly willing to step up. Just for that, you've earned my respect."

As he spoke, Meng Wenzhou gave Su Yang a thumbs-up.

"Hey, it was nothing. I just lent a hand. To me, the word 'friend' isn't something you merely say."

"Good! Enough of that. We'll prove it through our actions from now on." Meng Wenzhou patted his chest and spoke righteously.

"But speaking of which, Fatty is actually an expert? I really couldn't tell." Su Yang changed the subject and looked at Liu Bo.

Meng Wenzhou smiled. "Don't let his weight fool you. Once he starts fighting, he's more agile than anyone. Those guys from earlier? Fatty could have handled them all by himself."

Liu Bo smiled sheepishly. "Hehe, it was nothing, nothing."

Su Yang looked at Liu Bo and asked the question that had been bothering him. "Fatty, have you trained before?"

"More or less. I used to be a soldier."

"He wasn't an ordinary soldier," Meng Wenzhou added.

"Oh? Special forces?"

"Yeah, that's right. He only gained weight after leaving the army."

"No wonder you're so fierce." Su Yang patted Liu Bo on the shoulder in praise.

At that moment, Zhang Ziming took out cigarettes and handed them around. He looked at Su Yang and smiled. "Yangyang, I accept you as a friend."

"Are you saying you didn't approve of me before?" Su Yang joked.

"Not exactly. We've only known each other for a day, so we aren't very familiar. But you stepped in to help the moment something happened tonight. That shows you're someone worth befriending deeply. I, Zhang Ziming, respect people like you."

"Hehe, all right, enough of that. We may not have been through life and death together tonight, but we've fought side by side, so we're friends now. If anything comes up, just let each other know."

Hearing this, Zhang Ziming explained, "I was planning to help earlier, but Old Meng had Fatty step in, so we didn't go up. Don't misunderstand. Once Fatty had acted, there wasn't much point in us joining in."

Su Yang waved his hand. "I understand. No need to explain."

The group opened up and chatted for a long while. The police station was only a little over two kilometers from the Marriott Hotel, and before they knew it, they had walked back to the hotel.

Pan Ning and Shen Yixue had not said a word along the way. They knew that men tended to place great importance on this sort of thing.

So they had simply accompanied them in silence without saying much.

By the time they returned to the hotel, it was already four-thirty in the morning.

The six of them said nothing more and returned to their rooms to rest.

Once they entered the room, Pan Ning opened the refrigerator and took out two bottles of water. She handed one to Su Yang.

"Here."

"Thanks."

Su Yang took the water and dropped onto the sofa. Pan Ning sat down beside him as well.

"Is your back all right?" Pan Ning turned toward Su Yang and asked.

"I'm fine. I doubt there's even a mark. Don't let that guy's build fool you—he had no strength at all." Su Yang laughed playfully.

"That's good." Pan Ning let out a breath, opened her bottle, and took two sips.

The air fell silent for two seconds. Su Yang did not know what to say, so he casually asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I'm not tired. I'm going to take a bath."

"Then go ahead. It's already pretty late."

"There's no rush. I just called the front desk to bring me some milk."

Su Yang froze. "Milk? You like drinking milk while bathing?"

Pan Ning rolled her eyes. "Not drinking it. I'm using it for the bath."

"What? A milk bath? That's so extravagant."

"The hotel offers the service, and I take milk baths at home too. I'm used to it." Pan Ning explained.

Su Yang smiled. "No wonder your skin is so smooth and delicate. So it's because you take milk baths."

"I'd look like this even without them. Milk baths can regulate your mood, relieve physical and mental stress, and whiten your skin." Pan Ning smiled faintly as she looked at Su Yang. "Do you want to try it?"

"Me? Sure." Su Yang grinned and continued, "But can we take one together?"

"No. You wish."

"Ah, what fun is a milk bath if we can't take it together? Besides, what's a grown man doing taking a milk bath alone? I'd only do it with a beauty."

Pan Ning could not help rolling her eyes again.

As they chatted, someone knocked on the door. Pan Ning got up to open it.

A beautiful staff member stood outside holding a wooden crate. She smiled and asked, "Miss Pan?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Hello, I'm a staff member of the Marriott Hotel. I'm here to prepare your milk bath."

"All right, come in." Pan Ning let the staff member into the room.

More than ten minutes later, the beautiful staff member emerged from the bathroom.

"Miss Pan, it's ready."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome. If you need anything, you can call the front desk at any time."

"All right, sorry for the trouble."

"Good night to you both. I hope you enjoy tonight." The staff member smiled warmly, then turned and left.

Hearing this, Su Yang leaned back on the sofa and chuckled. "See? Even that beauty said so. Let's enjoy it together."

Pan Ning glared at Su Yang, then jokingly said, "In your dreams. If you want to take one, you can wait until I'm done and use it afterward. It smells wonderful!"
