Chapter 50

"Regarding that, you really don't know much. I used to practice internal martial arts with an old man, and ordinary three to five people can't even get close to me. By the way, last time when you sprained your ankle, didn't I help you with acupressure? That's also a form of martial arts! However, don't mention this to Brother Peng and the others, or they'll pester me to teach them martial arts." Seeing Cheng Ping didn't believe him, Xia Yunjie had to explain half-truths and half-lies.

The "Brother Peng and the others" Xia Yunjie mentioned were naturally the staff of the bar.

"Pfft, being so mysterious, do you really think you're a martial arts expert! However, hehe, saving a beauty, and saving three at once, you should be careful!" Cheng Ping first gave Xia Yunjie a disdainful glance, then said with a meaningful smile, and turned to leave.

Xia Yunjie claimed he practiced internal martial arts and that ordinary three to five people couldn't get close to him, but Cheng Ping didn't really believe it. He just didn't look like someone who could fight. However, when he mentioned helping her treat her ankle, Cheng Ping couldn't help but believe him a bit. The acupressure technique was indeed quite magical!

Xia Yunjie felt relieved that he had finally fooled Cheng Ping, but her parting words made him somewhat speechless. As soon as Cheng Ping left, he saw three beautiful women smiling and walking towards him, their eyes filled with affection!

If looks could kill, Xia Yunjie felt he had been killed many times by the male staff of the bar that night. For the entire evening, almost all the female staff found excuses to get close to him and chat with him. Some were genuinely interested, like Wu Yuzhi, Liu Ke, Xu Jia, and Cheng Ping, while most were just curious. They all wanted to know what charm this new boy, Xia Yunjie, had that could make three women, including Wu Yuzhi, suddenly feel spring in their hearts. This group also included the curvaceous and voluptuous Yan Jie, who was only interested in women.

However, the curious female staff didn't find anything special about Xia Yunjie. If there was anything, it was that his face wasn't as thick as the old staff, and his gaze wasn't as lecherous.

Time passed quietly amidst the busy work in the bar and the occasional harassment from the female staff, and it was soon time to go off duty.

"Yuzhi, Liu Ke, Xu Jia, I remember you all live on Hedong Road. It just so happens that I'm going to a friend's place today, which is on the way to Hedong Road. I can give you a ride," Zhang Xiaojun said to Wu Yuzhi and the others as they were leaving.

Zhang Xiaojun didn't believe that he, the "tall, rich, and handsome" of the bar, would be outshone by a new graduate from a vocational school.

Wu Yuzhi and the others were all experienced in the bar scene and could easily see through Zhang Xiaojun's ulterior motives. If it were any other day, they would have been delighted, but today, they exchanged glances, their eyes twinkling mischievously, and then looked at Zhang Xiaojun with surprise, saying, "Brother Jun, really?"

"Of course, it's true!" Seeing the surprise on Wu Yuzhi and the others' faces, Zhang Xiaojun naturally thought his plan was working. He glanced at Xia Yunjie with a smug look and smiled at Wu Yuzhi and the others.

"Is it the same car as last time?" Just as Zhang Xiaojun was feeling smug, Wu Yuzhi and the others asked.

"Yes!" Zhang Xiaojun was slightly taken aback by the question but nodded.

"Then forget it, last time Brother Jie said Japanese cars aren't safe!" Wu Yuzhi and the others pretended to be disappointed, then twisted their waists and caught up to Xia Yunjie, saying, "Brother Jie, wait for us, we came by bike today too!"

Zhang Xiaojun's face turned black as he watched Wu Yuzhi and the others catch up to Xia Yunjie, and the others were all staring in shock.

No way, did these three girls really fancy Xia Yunjie, and even came to work by bike today? And they even bought new bikes!

Although Xia Yunjie was a bit uncomfortable with the sudden enthusiasm of Wu Yuzhi and the others, he couldn't deny that riding home alone in the middle of the night was completely different from having three young, beautiful women accompany him. Liu Ke was tall, Wu Yuzhi was curvy, and Xu Jia was petite. The three of them rode their bikes, their white legs pedaling up and down, their round buttocks, and the two mounds of their chests moving up and down. No matter where Xia Yunjie looked, he saw a scene that made him feel excited. Not to mention, the three of them were naturally sweet and flattered Xia Yunjie, their voices soft and occasionally saying flirtatious words. Any man would feel that such a night was beautiful.

Accompanied by laughter, the four of them rode to the entrance of Victory Neighborhood.

"Brother Jie, would you like to come up for a bit?" Liu Ke, who was tall, stopped at the entrance of the neighborhood and gave Xia Yunjie a flirtatious look, saying in a soft voice.

"Yes, Brother Jie, come up for a bit, there are only the three of us at home," Wu Yuzhi and Xu Jia also gave him flirtatious looks.

"No, it's already very late!" Xia Yunjie's heart was pounding from the flirtatious looks, and he almost agreed out of impulse, but he finally waved his hand and declined.

"Oh, is that so? Then see you, Brother Jie, bye!" Liu Ke and the others didn't force him when Xia Yunjie declined. They gave him another flirtatious look and a flying kiss, then giggled and rode their bikes into the neighborhood, their silver laughter echoing in the night sky.

"Xu Jia, weren't you a bit too bold just now? It's so late, and you dared to invite Brother Jie up. What if he really came up and lost control?" Back in the room, Xu Jia asked.

"What if? That would be perfect! Brother Jie is handsome, skilled in martial arts, and a good person. He even knows the police chief. Such a man, we should be afraid he won't bite!" Liu Ke said as she took off her short-sleeved shirt and skirt, leaving only her lingerie, and walked to the fridge to cut some watermelon to quench her thirst. Since they were all women in the room, there was no need to be shy.

"That's true, but there are three of us!" Xu Jia and Wu Yuzhi said.

"Then we'll all push him together. Who's afraid of who!" Liu Ke said nonchalantly.

Xu Jia and Wu Yuzhi were taken aback for a moment, then giggled and playfully hit Liu Ke.

...

In no time, Xia Yunjie had been working at BLUENIGHT Bar for a month.

During this month, Xia Yunjie's life was quite comfortable. Every day at work, he had beautiful women harassing him, and he could watch exotic dances. On the way home, he had beautiful women accompanying him, and they even sent him flying kisses before leaving. The only thing that made Xia Yunjie feel a bit disappointed and regretful was that since that day when he and Qin Lan watched the sunrise at Silver Beach, Qin Lan hadn't contacted him or appeared at the bar.

But Xia Yunjie could understand. After all, she was the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and he was just an ordinary waiter at the bar. Meeting and once cuddling together was already a miracle. Could he really expect more? Still, Xia Yunjie felt a bit disappointed deep down.

It was already past one o'clock, and the number of people in the bar was gradually decreasing. The staff finally had a chance to catch their breath.

"Jie, I won't be coming to work tomorrow," Cheng Ping said as she walked up to Xia Yunjie while he was clearing a table.

"Tomorrow isn't your day off, are you feeling unwell?" Xia Yunjie stopped clearing the table and looked at Cheng Ping with concern.

Feeling the concern in Xia Yunjie's eyes, Cheng Ping felt a warmth in her heart. Although they had only known each other for a month, among all the colleagues, Cheng Ping truly considered Xia Yunjie a friend. Perhaps it was because of his chivalrous act when they first met, or perhaps it was because of his shy and honest nature.

"No, I'm quitting," Cheng Ping shook her head.

"Quitting? Where are you going?" Xia Yunjie was taken aback. After all, it was Cheng Ping who had introduced him to this job, and among all the colleagues, he had a special feeling for her.

"To Beijing," Cheng Ping hesitated before answering.

"To Beijing?" Xia Yunjie was surprised again. Although he hadn't been to Beijing, he had heard of the "Beijing drifters," and the competition there was much fiercer than in Jiangzhou.

"Hehe, surprised? I've wanted to go to Beijing for a long time, but I didn't have the money to take the risk. I've saved some money working in the bar for the past two years, so I decided to give it a try in Beijing," Cheng Ping said with a smile.

"Jiangzhou is not bad either," Xia Yunjie said with some reluctance.

"Why are you reluctant to let me go?" Cheng Ping brushed her bangs and tilted her head, looking at Xia Yunjie.

"I am reluctant," Xia Yunjie said honestly.

"If you really are, come find me in Beijing someday," Cheng Ping said with a smile.

"Of course, but don't forget me when you become successful!" Xia Yunjie suppressed his reluctance and joked.

"Pfft, I'm afraid you'll have so many beautiful girls around you that you'll forget me," Cheng Ping said with a glance.

Xia Yunjie knew Cheng Ping was referring to Liu Ke and the others who always accompanied him home. He blushed and smiled, "How could I? By the way, when are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow afternoon's train," Cheng Ping replied.

"So soon?" Xia Yunjie was surprised.

"Yep!"

"Then I'll see you off tomorrow."

The next afternoon, after seeing Cheng Ping off at the train station, Xia Yunjie felt a bit lost as he walked out alone.

After being in Jiangzhou for more than two months, he had gradually gotten to know more people, but there were few women he considered friends. Cheng Ping was one, and Deputy Director Qin, with whom he had a brief romantic relationship, was another. As for Wu Yuzhi and the others, although they had spent a lot of time together recently, they were very practical girls and could only be considered good colleagues. Of course, this was a practical society, and a woman who worked day and night to support herself could be practical, which Xia Yunjie could understand. But understanding was one thing, and being friends was another.

Now, the two women he considered friends, one had gone to Beijing to develop, and the other had appeared and disappeared suddenly in his life, like a fleeting beauty.
