While Tang Yu was surrounded by a crowd of women, a young man standing at the entrance of the Galaxy Club looked over.
"Damn, isn't that my big brother?"
Recognizing Tang Yu, the young man hurried over.
Once Tang Yu was surrounded by a crowd of women, he might as well have been Tang Monk in the Kingdom of Women.
The women pressed in around him, making it hard for the young man to get close.
"Could you make way?"
Left with no choice, the young man called out.
At his shout, the women turned to look at him, then their faces lit up with delight.
"Well, isn't this Young Master Qin?"
"Young Master Qin, you're here too!"
They all greeted Qin Ming with the same warm enthusiasm.
Who cared about being county magistrate?
They just wanted to be the county magistrate's wife.
"All right, sweethearts, stop clinging to my big brother. It's his first time here, and you'll scare him off if you're too enthusiastic."
Qin Ming called out with a laugh.
Only then did the women reluctantly make a path for him.
Grabbing Tang Yu by the arm, Qin Ming led him out of the crowd and grinned. "Big brother, how do you like it here for your first time?"
"Pretty great. They're all good girls," Tang Yu praised.
Sure, they smoked, drank, got tattoos, danced at clubs, and stayed out all night.
But they were good girls.
Well, as long as they didn't have their sights set on marrying him.
"Exactly, they're all good girls." Qin Ming burst out laughing. "Shall we find somewhere quiet to sit and chat?"
"We can talk inside, too." Tang Yu pointed at the Galaxy Club.
Wasn't enjoying life the whole reason he'd come here?
As a villain, he never knew whether the Dragon King or tomorrow would come first. He'd better enjoy himself while he could!
"Damn, big brother, are you serious?"
Qin Ming reached over to feel Tang Yu's forehead. His big brother had never come to a place like this before.
"What are you dawdling for?" Tang Yu simply strode inside.
Today, he was going to let loose here, and not even Jesus could stop him!
"Damn, big brother really is acting strange."
Qin Ming followed after him, looking worried.
It wasn't even dark yet, but the Galaxy Club was already buzzing.
Men and women writhed on the dance floor, giving free rein to their hormones. Onstage, several scantily clad beauties danced passionately to music loud enough to shake the walls.
Qin Ming led Tang Yu to the number one platform, his usual seat.
As soon as he sat down, someone quickly brought over drinks.
Several beauties came with them.
But Qin Ming waved the women away, telling them to go enjoy themselves.
He was worried about his big brother and didn't feel like entertaining them.
After pouring Tang Yu a glass, he asked with concern, "Big brother, you're acting strange today."
"How so?"
"You never used to come here."
"People change." Tang Yu raised his glass and clinked it against Qin Ming's.
Qin Ming took a big gulp—nearly half his glass—then asked, baffled, "Wait, big brother, didn't you just get engaged to Su Muyue? If she finds out you came here, won't those three years of effort have gone to waste?"
"Right. That's exactly what I came to tell you."
Tang Yu quickly set down his glass and opened WeChat to show Qin Ming the chat history.
After reading it, Qin Ming's head buzzed.
Damn, was this really something his big brother would do? He'd actually dared to talk to Su Muyue like that?
"Damn, big brother, you've finally stopped being a simp. Honestly, if we weren't brothers who'd been through life and death together, I'd have wanted to cut ties with you ages ago."
Once he'd recovered, Qin Ming could barely contain his excitement.
He grabbed the bottle and poured Tang Yu another glass, insisting they toast to celebrate.
The two had been close friends for years and had attended the same elite school.
In eighth grade, they'd gone out with a group of friends when Qin Ming accidentally fell into a river.
Everyone else just stood and watched. Only Tang Yu had jumped in to save him.
After that, Qin Ming had wholeheartedly accepted Tang Yu as his big brother.
But Tang Yu had spent the past three years being a devoted simp without missing a day, and his reputation in their circle had become... less than flattering.
Even ordinary people knew that simps didn't get the girl.
For a rich, handsome guy to do something like that was the height of humiliation.
"You little punk."
Tang Yu couldn't help smacking him on the back.
Then he said, exasperated, "What do you think is going through her head? I spent three years chasing her with nothing to show for it, and now she's acting like this."
"She's just a masochist. People are like that—only once they've lost something do they learn to treasure it." Qin Ming curled his lip.
"..." Tang Yu still felt like something wasn't right.
She was the female lead, for crying out loud. How could she possibly like a villain?
There had to be a scheme behind this!
"So, how do I get her to stop bothering me?" Tang Yu asked Qin Ming earnestly.
This guy had already slept with a hundred women by the time he was seventeen, and a thousand by twenty. By now, he'd probably lost count himself.
That was the simple, boring life of the rich.
"Easy. Why not become a womanizer like me?" Qin Ming said proudly.
He hadn't always been so debauched. Once, he'd even harbored beautiful dreams of romance.
Then, at seventeen, he overheard his father discussing an arranged marriage between their families with an older relative. They planned to settle the engagement as soon as he became an adult.
Among the wealthy, marriages between families of equal standing were still the norm.
When he learned that his intended bride was a young lady who weighed nearly two hundred pounds, he matured overnight.
To put a stop to the marriage, he became Suhang's most notorious club prince, and the arrangement fell through for good.
"Right."
Tang Yu suddenly saw the light. The master had a point.
If I turn myself into a pile of dog shit, won't women steer clear of me?
He looked at Qin Ming with admiration. No wonder he was his good brother—he was born to be a villain.
If you wanted to stay under the radar, keeping a low profile wasn't enough!
In those feel-good novels, wasn't it the villains' lecherous ways that made the heroines hate them?
And as a villain, he still wasn't rotten enough!
The author had clearly made him a simp just to add to his character.
"Come on, good brother, let's drink. From today on, we'll be the Galaxy Club's peerless duo."
Tang Yu raised his glass and clinked it against Qin Ming's.
"Damn, that's what I'm talking about, big brother. We'll live here from now on!"
Qin Ming burst out laughing, already sizing up the night's prospects.
He'd been coming here for ages and had never struck out!
Some self-proclaimed princesses online claimed they went to places like this to unwind.
Believe that, and you'd be wearing antlers before long.
Unwind? What respectable person in their right mind came here to unwind?
If a man went into the women's bathhouse and said he was just going to wash his hands, would you believe that crap?
But after scanning the room, he saw nothing but familiar faces, and his interest quickly waned.
"Big brother, they're all regulars tonight. How about making do?" Qin Ming asked with a grin.
His big brother was here for the first time, and he'd failed to line up a couple of top-tier beauties for him. His conscience was killing him.
"Sure, you handle it."
Tang Yu nodded.
It was all just for show. He wasn't too picky.
Qin Ming immediately got things arranged. Soon, seven or eight beauties of varying looks came over, all with faces and figures around a seventy-five out of a hundred.
Seeing them stand in a row with their purses in hand, Tang Yu almost let his imagination run away with him.
"You four go keep my big brother company. It's his first time here, so don't get too carried away."
Qin Ming pointed out four of them. The girls giggled and hurried over to sit around Tang Yu.
"Young Master Tang, want me to feed you a drink?"
"Young Master Tang, you work out a lot, don't you? Your arms are so firm. I work out a lot too. Want to feel my abs?"
"Young Master Tang, what kind of girl do you like?"
The girls practically wanted to squeeze onto Tang Yu's lap. They were as attentive as could be.
