Chapter 38: The Bar's Great Change of Face

  He walked slowly, his reaction delayed by half a beat, the soles of his sneakers scraping against the ground with a muffled sound. Remember the URL of this site: Guanhua Home Network. I clutched Ji Dong's clothes tightly and hid behind him, not daring to stick my head out, while tall Ji Dong blocked the imagined angry face of Yu Wu.

  I bowed my head, feeling Ji Dong move aside a step. Just as I was about to continue hiding, Meng Yu grabbed the back of my neck and with a slight exertion of force, I couldn't move anymore. All I could do was lift my head to look at him, but he didn't seem angry; instead, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. I furrowed my brow inexplicably, feeling stifled inside - did he also think what I said was the truth?

  He wrapped his hands around my neck, raised the corners of his mouth in a playful manner, and leaned down to look at me: "Oh? Then how do you plan to deal with me?"

  I turned away, rolling my eyes and muttering under my breath: "What can I do to you?"

  Taking a deep breath, I turned back to face his dark eyes and said solemnly: "I'm so tolerant of those scoundrels, how could I possibly take revenge on you? Besides, you're also Lao Da of Ji Dong, I did this voluntarily, it has nothing to do with you."

  He slightly furrowed his brow, the curve of his lips disappearing, and he tightly wrapped his arms around my shoulders, striding towards the motorcycles parked by the roadside: "Since you're willing to be my slave, tonight's bar setup is all yours."

  "What's with the venue setup? Is the bar moving or something? Wasn't the original location good enough?" I looked at him in confusion, automatically ignoring the title he had given me, as I was quickly pushed forward by the force on my shoulder.

  Yu didn't answer, and a sly smile appeared on his face again, which was still very seductive in my eyes. I stole a glance at him and swallowed hard. A man with such good looks is also a kind of calamity. He let go of me and walked to the side of his black motorcycle to unlock it. The group followed up and straddled their respective motorcycles.

  "Tonight, Yu Ge will officially take over the bar, so we need to set things up... by the way, Yu Ge's mom is also coming, and naturally, Li Xiao Ran won't be absent either. You'd better prepare yourself mentally." Ji Dong took the opportunity to lean in close to me and whispered the last sentence in my ear.

  I looked at him extremely unwillingly, and my tone rose a few degrees without realizing it: "Huh? Can't I not go?"

  "Can't!" Yu, who was already straddling the motorcycle, glared at us fiercely, his tone firm. "Stop nagging, get on quickly."

  He slammed on the brakes of his motorcycle in front of me, grabbed my arm with a strong hand and twisted it until I felt pain. This guy's mood swings are faster than flipping through a book, and just a moment ago he turned into a male devil again.

  I pouted and glared at him, already fed up with his overbearing attitude. Looking at that scowling face, I felt a surge of defiance: "I don't want to, I want to sit behind Donggua." His other hand was still clamped around my wrist, but he relaxed his grip slightly, though not letting go.

  "Are you sure?" He lightly spat out three words, his deep black eyes flashing with an inexplicable faint light.

  I stopped struggling, unable to understand the look in his eyes, which didn't seem threatening or angry, but made my heart skip a beat. As if possessed by a ghost, I didn't think twice and immediately sat on the back seat, only to realize that my hand had already been placed on his waist by Yu, the hard and solid feeling of his abdomen making my face flush with heat. Meanwhile, Ji Dong was still standing beside us, looking at me with a complex expression. I quickly withdrew my hands, not daring to look into Ji Dong's eyes, feeling ashamed and humiliated for having initiated the hug in front of so many people, even if it was just around his waist. What should I do now?

  Yu lightly laughed and said, "If you don't hold me, aren't you afraid of falling to death and looking very ugly?" He didn't force me, but instead let me make the choice myself, which was even more infuriating! After all, I'm also a girl, how can I be so immodest? However... he did say that he wanted me to be his girlfriend, if I were to follow the identity of being his girlfriend, then hugging him wouldn't be a problem, right? Besides, in other people's eyes, I've already been his girlfriend for a long time, safety first, after all!

  "Melon, you have to go, what are you still dazing about?" I urged Ji Dong to return to his position. He lightly said "be careful" and turned around to leave. I took a deep breath, slowly grasped the two sides of his hem, fortunately today he was wearing pants, so straddling my legs while sitting could slightly balance my body.

  He revved up the motorcycle, and a cacophony of engine roars erupted behind him. The black motorcycle shot out like an arrow leaving its bowstring, I felt my body and heart still left on the ground, only my hands and feet followed him. Maintaining an angle of 45° or more for a long time, I gradually got used to this flying speed, but when my body finally balanced, he suddenly slammed on the brakes, and I, unprepared, heavily bumped into his sturdy back, my hands also instinctively hugged him tightly. I didn't dare move again, so I yielded to his wishes, continuing to shamelessly stick to his back, this man really wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal.

  At dusk, the setting sun still radiates scorching heat, and the nightclub that shines brightly at night is calm as water. It only starts operating at 8 pm every night, and according to Yu's words, I only have two and a half hours to decorate this place, and it must be innovative. As for decoration, I am the least proficient in it, whether it is decorating houses or people, I am completely clueless, and now I have really taken on a big challenge.

  Looking at the person lying on the sofa with a worried and bitter face, did he really entrust me with handling this important scene? Or does he think that even if I mess it up, it doesn't matter, just purely wanting to see me make a fool of myself.

  I stormed over to him, scowling and glaring: "No tools at all, do you want me to conjure up a rose with my bare hands?"

  "In the second-to-last room on that side, there's a storage room. Whatever you need, it's all there, go find it yourself." He comfortably leaned back into the soft sofa and lazily pointed with one hand.

  I glared at those inhuman thugs one by one, and finally Ji Dong stood out from the crowd, being quite a good buddy: "I'll help you."

  "No need, it's her own will, oh?" Yu's unusually crooked smile, his black eyes slanted at me.

  Ji Dongleng was standing, but still obeyed Lao Da and didn't follow me out. I shrugged my shoulders, smiled indifferently, turned around and walked into the storage room, starting to rummage through boxes. You asked me to take action, don't regret it!

  The small room was once tidy, but now it's a mess after I rummaged through it. The usable decorations and tools I found are not great: a big bag of flat balloons, a small hydrogen tank, colored long decorative ribbons, a bunch of five-colored thin ropes, and a banner with congratulatory messages for the opening ceremony...

  Hugging a large number of items and walking back to the hall, I found that no one was left on the sofa. I was puzzled, as I had already gritted my teeth and accepted this task, did they need to run so fast? As I was frowning and cleaning up the decorations, someone patted me on the shoulder. Turning around, I saw Ji Dong also bending down to help me deal with the scattered objects.

  "Wu Ge and the others have something else to attend to, so they asked me to stay behind and help you." Ji Dong explained with a smile.

  "Is that so." I replied absent-mindedly, but Ji Yu still showed some concern for me, otherwise he could have taken everyone away and scolded me severely when he came back later, using the excuse of improper decoration. Or was he just afraid that I would leave the empty store door open and run away, causing him a huge loss?

  "Winter melon, where is the control for the lights and music?" Now that we have to hurry up and start, with Ji Dong here, if there's any hard work, I can let him share some of it. No matter what kind of motive Yu has, I want to thank him for leaving me such a capable assistant.

  Ji Dong helped me move all the tools to the workbench, nodded towards the giant counter on one side of the central dance pool: "It's over there, you want to adjust what I'll help you with."

  Then, I and Ji Dong started to set up the bar. We were both laymen in this regard, so we just played around like kids playing house, fiddling with things left and right, purely for entertainment. Surprisingly, we finished decorating half an hour before opening.

  Only after relaxing did I feel the ache in my limbs, and I collapsed onto the sofa as if I had fainted. Looking at this brand new bar, a sense of accomplishment also arose in my heart.

  Dark blue lamp light, elegant soft music, colorful hydrogen balloons floating on the rooftop, ribbons of various colors wrapped around the pendant lamps, forming beautiful arcs, sofas and tables completely out of place, originally messy beauty, arranged neatly by us two, even bothering to tie all high-footed cups with butterfly knot silk ribbons, relying on memories of red wine dinner layout, central dance pool set up as a small lecture stage, horizontal beam hanging with opening ceremony banner.

  With such attire, Auntie should be quite pleased. I couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction, who would have thought that as long as I'm willing, even tasks I'm not skilled at can be done pretty well!
