This Dao
As Yang Chen expected, the sky was already dim and it was nearly 6PM when they arrived at Heavenly Province even though he constantly overtook other cars on the road.
Li Jingjing didn’t feel anything inappropriate about that. Throughout the whole journey, she sat at the front wearing a smile, and secretly glanced at Yang Chen from time to time, it was unknown what she had on her mind.
Heavenly Province’s main entrance seemed incredibly imposing, and the dazzling splendor of the neon lights made all of the surrounding bars and nightclubs look inferior in comparison, the several huge flamboyant words that were lit up stole gazes even from far.
Li Jingjing clung onto Yang Chen’s arm immediately after she got off the car, and followed him through the main entrance with a perturbed expression. She, who had always been a well-behaved girl would get scared even if she saw a place like this in a movie. Once she thought about how she was going to party with the other teachers in this place, and she was the main attraction, she began to feel a little dread in her heart.
“Don’t worry, it’s actually not a big deal, just think of it as having a meal together in a small restaurant.” Yang Chen consoled.
Li Jingjing nodded, as she breathed she could smell the scent of the man beside her, and subconsciously, her heart became much calmer.
After entering the main entrance, a female receptionist wearing a fiery-red qipao walked towards them and enquired, “Honored guests, do you have an appointment?”
Li Jingjing who had lost focus only now recalled the location of the party, “It’s…… It’s a room named ‘Scarlet Kaffir Lily’.”
The female receptionist smiled and gestured welcomingly, “Please follow me.”
Along the way, they walked through a corridor that was dimly lit, with glass-esque walls that refracted a dazzling luster. The employees here wasn’t lacking in handsome men or beautiful women, which showed that the treatment of employees wasn’t bad.
When they walked to the door with the three words, Scarlet Kaffir Lily, written in white with a brush, the female receptionist smiled and gestured them to enter.
Yang Chen fished out a 100 dollar note from his pocket, and the female receptionist with an unsurprised face said, “Thank you” before accepting the note and leaving.
Li Jingjing looked at Yang Chen with astonishment, “Big brother Yang, is it necessary to pay 100 dollars just for leading the way?”
“A place like this usually follows a western style hiring method, these service personnel have no pay, and only receive tips. In fact, it’s only a little more than 10 dollars in USD, and it isn’t considered a lot.” Yang Chen explained.
“I nearly forgot, big brother Yang you’re a student that returned from studying overseas.” Li Jingjing couldn’t care less about the pain of money anymore, and happily spoke.
Yang Chen wasn’t willing to stay on that topic, and dexterously opened the room’s door, the moment it opened, a deafening shout transmitted out from inside the room……
“Wanna remain but can’t remain and that’s what feels loneliest!!!——”
They saw a rather short and fat man with glasses standing in front of the TV doing his utmost to shout into the microphone in his hand, with his head pointed towards the ceiling and his eyes shut, singing to his heart’s content.
There were already quite a number of people sitting on the sofa in the room, if added up, there were at least 8 people. After seeing Yang Chen and Li Jingjing by the door, they first stared blankly, then most of them revealed unusual smiles.
“Our main protagonist of the day has finally arrived!” A skinny female teacher with wavy hair from using heat rollers took the initiative to call out.
Immediately, everybody else present stood up and applauded. The fat teacher that was screaming like he was killing a pig a moment ago also called out, “Teacher Li didn’t forget to bring her boyfriend for her first party, looks like your relationship is pretty deep!”
Li Jingjing promptly let go of Yang Chen’s hand timidly. In the dark room, her face was so red that it seemed like it was about to burst, “It’s not like what everybody is thinking, big brother Yang isn’t my boyfriend.”
“Then what is he?” Another male teacher laughed and asked, “He can’t possibly be your blood related brother, right?”
Seeing Jingjing look so anxious, and unable to speak a word, Yang Chen could only take the lead and explain, “Jingjing’s father and I are bosom friends despite the age gap, and I have taken care of her like a big brother. Today, I coincidentally heard that everybody wanted to hold a welcome party, and that she was too shy to come to a KTV alone, and so I’m merely here to accompany her.”
A female teacher that dressed up nicely chuckled and said, “So that is what happened, come and sit by my side handsome; Teacher Li probably wouldn’t mind, right?” As she said that she winked at Li Jingjing.
