Getting to Know Each Other

Compared to the daytime, Main Island was even livelier at night.

Neon lights bathed the whole island in a riot of colors, while tourists from all over the world crowded the streets.

There were also plenty of women dressed to the nines, making a living off their youth, soliciting customers along the roadside.

So where was Yimo now?

Shi Xinglan had already dragged him to the third-largest stadium on Main Island.

By the time Shi Xinglan had bought tickets and taken Yimo inside, the show had already begun.

Of the tens of thousands of seats in the stadium, only about a third were occupied by tourists. It wasn't nearly as popular as Shi Xinglan had claimed.

Still, the atmosphere was certainly lively. The speakers blared loudly, making the place feel positively electric.

Of course, exactly what made it so electric was anyone's guess.

Yimo was caught up in it too, and got fired up.

But not in that way.

Yimo had gotten fired up because even at night, Main Island was still scorching hot. Shi Xinglan had dragged him along at a run, leaving him utterly exhausted and sweating profusely.

While Shi Xinglan watched with rapt attention, Yimo kept fanning the collar of his short-sleeved shirt, trying to cool down.

Unfortunately, there was no way he'd cool off anytime soon.

Maybe it was deliberate, but despite it being midsummer, the venue didn't even have the air conditioning on!

Yimo was so hot that he couldn't enjoy anything.

But Shi Xinglan, sitting beside him, was full of excitement. She even half stood up, bracing one hand on the seat in front and pointing with the other at the women giving it their all onstage. She said excitedly to Yimo, "Hey, hey, hey, Sibo Otaku, they're actually taking their clothes off!"
