âItâs not open even if you want to go now,â the handsome boy responded instinctively.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed. âI thought that my luck would finally take a turn. It seems like thatâs not happening.â
He asked, âWhy do you say that?â
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her chin and picked up the chopsticks that had dropped onto the table. Playing with them, she said, âBecause Iâm super unlucky today. Super duper unlucky. Unstoppably unlucky. Everything I do is unlucky.â
The handsome boy paused. âSo you mean⦠itâs also unlucky that you met me today?â
Mu Xiaoxiao missed the teasing tone in his voice and hurried to explain, âOf course not! I didnât say that, I really didnât say that.â
âYeah, yeah, I know. Why do you say that youâre unlucky today?â He seemed to be interested in her day.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed. âI was just really unlucky. Iâm so unlucky that even water can get stuck between my teeth if I drink it!â
The handsome boy did not believe her. He stood up and walked over to the nearby cabinet. Picking up a new cup and kettle, he poured out a glass of water and placed it in front of her.
He said, âI donât believe it. Try it.â
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She did not know whether to laugh or to cry.
âThat was only a metaphor!â
The handsome boy said, âThat just means that you havenât reached the peak of unluckiness.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mu Xiaoxiao said, âThat means that thereâs more room for my unluckiness to take a further downturn?â
This was not good news.
âNoâ¦â The handsome boy thought about it but could not find a way to explain and thus decided to change the topic. âTell me, why do you want to find a prostitute?â
Mu Xiaoxiao said bluntly, âCan I not tell you?â
The handsome boy said, âSure.â
Mu Xiaoxiao said, âThen I wonât tell you.â
The handsome boy did not press the matter.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked, âWhatâs it like in your brothel? Does it open only at night like a bar?â
The handsome boy said, âThey open around the same time, but the brothel opens a little earlier.â
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed a little gloomy as she said, âWhy isnât it open earlier?â
âAre you sure you want to go?â the handsome boy asked her.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. âIâm sure.â
The people Yin Shaojie and Jun Zeye hired were protecting her from the shadows, anyway. It was probably okay for her to go to a brothel, right?
She looked at him and said, âThe way you said that⦠Are you willing to bring me there?â
The handsome boy rested his chin on his hand and thought about it. âAre you sure youâre of age?â
ââ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao swallowed and nodded. âYeah!â
âI can bring you if you want to go. Even though itâs not open yet, itâs not a problem for you to enter the brothel,â said the handsome boy.
âReally?â Mu Xiaoxiaoâs eyes lit up. âAre you going to take me there?â
âYeah.â He nodded.
Mu Xiaoxiao was so excited that she wanted to jump up and down. âLetâs go now then!â
âLetâs finish the hotpot first,â the handsome boy said as he raised his chopsticks and continued to eat.
Mu Xiaoxiao poured the rest of the ingredients into the pot noisily and even served food to him using the serving chopsticks. âHurry up and eat, then!â she urged.
The two of them began to wage war on the hotpot. The numerous ingredients they ordered were quickly finished.
He even paid for both their portions when settling the bill.
They walked out of the booth. It was already tranquil outside, with no sign of the three girls from earlier.
They arrived at the outdoor parking lot.
The handsome boy led her to a common-looking Volkswagen and unlocked the door. âGet in. Iâll drive you there. The brothelâs nearby,â he said.
