Chapter 1621 Take care of yourself
Lu Feng was convinced that, given Nan Yifeng's notoriously abstinent nature, she would definitely refuse this sudden invitation without hesitation, and might even give the woman a cold glare to make her back down.
To everyone's surprise, Nan Yifeng narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint smile curving his lips, and casually uttered, "Fine... let her come and play with us."
This short sentence exploded in Lu Feng's ears like a bomb, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.
Lu Feng stared wide-eyed at Nan Yifeng in disbelief, as if he were looking at a stranger.
He opened his mouth, about to dissuade her, but the woman who had undergone plastic surgery seemed to have received a royal decree. Her eyes lit up with excitement, and she nodded hurriedly before striding out in her high heels.
Watching the woman's departing figure, Lu Feng stomped his feet in anger. Turning around, he said to Nan Yifeng with exasperation, "Nan Yifeng, you're just being difficult! You clearly still have feelings for Weiwei, yet you insist on causing all this trouble. You'll drive Weiwei away completely, and then you won't even have time to cry!"
His voice trembled with excitement, and his face was full of anxiety and helplessness.
Nan Yifeng, however, seemed not to have heard Lu Feng's words. He remained sitting there quietly, staring blankly ahead, his fingers unconsciously stroking the rim of his wine glass.
He didn't speak, but silently picked up his glass and took another sip of wine. The spicy liquid flowed down his throat, but it couldn't extinguish the chaotic flames in his heart.
Not long after, the woman who had undergone plastic surgery returned to the booth with her best friend.
Just as she had described, the petite girl looked innocent and naive, as pure and untouched as a blank sheet of paper.
She was dressed in a simple, elegant white dress, the light and flowing skirt like a fairy dancing gracefully, or like lily petals swaying gently in the breeze, moving with each step.
Her hair fell smoothly over her shoulders, and although she wore heavy makeup, the tension and unease in her eyes were impossible to hide, making her seem out of place in this bustling, noisy, and decadent place.
However, it is undeniable that she has a great figure, with a curvaceous bust and hips, and a very sweet face. Her big eyes are like clear lake water, making people feel tenderness towards her.
The two girls cautiously followed the woman who had undergone plastic surgery to the booth. Their eyes darted timidly around them as they glanced at the people in the room. Then they bit their lips softly, lowered their heads, and stood there, nervously twisting the hem of their clothes with their hands.
Seeing this, the woman who had undergone cosmetic surgery quickly pulled her to Nan Yifeng's side and said with a smile, "Mr. Nan, this is the sister I told you about. She rarely comes to places like this and is a little shy. Please don't mind her."
Nan Yifeng remained silent, merely raising an eyebrow slightly. His deep eyes revealed no emotion, like an unfathomable iceberg. Seeing this, the woman who had undergone cosmetic surgery immediately sensed an opportunity. A flicker of excitement and smugness flashed in her eyes, as if she could already foresee the considerable benefits she was about to gain from Nan Yifeng.
She hurriedly shoved her best friend Lili next to Nan Yifeng, her movements showing a hint of urgency and deliberateness, as if she were afraid of missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
A radiant smile bloomed on her face, as beautiful as a flower in spring, and her already sweet face shone even more brightly.
With her lips slightly parted, she spoke fluently, like a machine gun firing at full power: "Little Nan! Look, this beautiful and charming young lady is my good sister—Lili! She just turned twenty this year and is still a vibrant college student!"
"Look at her, so pretty! It's just that her family is dirt poor, so she has no choice but to come out and earn money to pay for her tuition and living expenses, and ease the burden on her family."
Lili nearly fell onto Nan Yifeng after being pushed by the woman who had undergone plastic surgery. She was so nervous that her face turned red to her ears, and she gripped the hem of her clothes with both hands until her fingers turned white from the force. She stammered, "Mr. Nan, you... hello... my name is Lili."
The voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, tinged with obvious trembling and unease.
Nan Yifeng stared expressionlessly at the woman named Lili in front of him. She was standing there with her hands clenched into fists, her knuckles white from the force, her body tense and trembling slightly, her eyes flickering, not daring to meet his gaze, her face full of tension and embarrassment.
Seeing this, Nan Yifeng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. However, this smile was not a friendly or cordial one; instead, it carried a hint of mockery.
His voice was icy cold, as if devoid of any emotion, as he slowly said: "Heh... This isn't some company, it's just ordinary people having fun. There's absolutely no need for you to call me 'Little Nan,' it's so awkward."
His voice was deep and magnetic, yet carried a chilling quality that made him unapproachable.
Upon hearing Nan Yifeng's words, Lili lowered her head even further, as if she wanted to bury her head in her chest.
She hurriedly picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured Nan Yifeng a glass of wine. Because she was too nervous, some of the wine spilled on the table.
Her face was filled with fear, tears welled up in her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly as she said, "I...I'm so sorry! I'm really so sorry. I'm just a newbie, I've never been to a place like this before, and I have no idea what the rules are. Please forgive me~"
That pitiful and endearing appearance, like a frightened little rabbit, makes one feel tenderness and affection upon seeing it.
Lu Feng, who was standing nearby, watched this scene and couldn't help but feel uneasy.
He frowned, his eyes filled with helplessness and dissatisfaction, thinking to himself, "What on earth is Nan Yifeng up to? He's clearly still thinking about Weiwei, yet he's getting entangled with these women. Lili does look pitiful, but she's not someone he can just mess with. What if he causes trouble? How will he handle that?"
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Nan Yifeng's cold expression, he swallowed back the words he was about to say. He could only sigh helplessly and sit silently to the side, watching the farce continue to unfold.
Lu Feng's initial urge to persuade was instantly extinguished, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. He shrugged helplessly, thinking to himself, "Forget it, it's Nan Yifeng's own business anyway. Let him do whatever he wants. It's not only tiring for me to say anything, but I might not even get any benefit from it."
Thinking of this, he ignored Nan Yifeng and the two women, sat down alone in a corner, picked up his wine glass in a sullen mood, and took a big gulp.
The spicy liquor burned down his throat, but it couldn't dispel the vexation in his heart.
He drank one glass after another, his eyes glazed over as he stared at the lively yet chaotic scene in the booth.
Nan Yifeng continued chatting casually with the two women. Lili remained tense and reserved, glancing at Nan Yifeng cautiously every now and then. The woman who had undergone plastic surgery, on the other hand, flitted around Nan Yifeng like a butterfly, chattering incessantly and occasionally rubbing against his arm.
As time went on, Lu Feng began to feel dizzy and his stomach started to churn.
He frowned, realizing that if he kept drinking like that, he would probably throw up on the spot.
He shook his head, trying to clear his mind, then put down his glass and waved to the waiter not far away.
The waiter quickly approached and politely asked, "Sir, is there anything you need?" Lu Feng propped his head up with his hand and said weakly, "Give me a drink, nothing alcoholic."
The waiter nodded and quickly brought over a glass of orange juice.
Lu Feng took the orange juice and drank more than half of it in one gulp. The sweet taste flowed down his throat, making him feel much better.
He leaned back on the sofa, rubbing his temples with both hands, still unable to stop worrying about Nan Yifeng's situation.
But thinking about how her attempts to persuade him had failed, she could only sigh helplessly and mutter to herself, "Oh well, let him be. I hope he doesn't end up hurting himself. It'll be too late to regret it then."
After saying that, he picked up the orange juice and slowly drank it, but his eyes kept glancing at Nan Yifeng, observing his every move.
The woman who had undergone cosmetic surgery sat to the side, her eyes darting around as if she were plotting something.
Suddenly, she subtly gave Lili a wink, her eyes full of hints and urging.
Lili was already extremely nervous. After receiving a wink from the woman who had undergone plastic surgery, she was slightly taken aback at first, but then quickly understood.
She bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind, and then carefully picked up the wine bottle and filled Nan Yifeng's glass with wine.
Lili gripped the wine glass tightly with both hands, her fingers turning slightly white from the force. Her voice trembled slightly, but she tried her best to appear calm: "Mr. Nan, I... I'd like to toast you."
The sound was as soft as a gentle breeze, and it stood out clearly in the somewhat noisy booth.
Nan Yifeng paused for a moment, his eyes deep and complex, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.
A moment later, he slowly picked up his wine glass, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
The movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
The liquor flowed down his throat, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, as if he were swallowing some indescribable emotion.
Lu Feng sat to the side, watching all of this unfold. His brows furrowed tightly, his eyes filled with worry and helplessness.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but swallowed the words back down.
He knew perfectly well that drinking this glass of wine meant that Nan Yifeng had accepted Lili to some extent.
What happens next will likely evolve and develop in a direction he is extremely unwilling to face and endure...
He sighed helplessly, his sigh containing a multitude of emotions: disappointment with Nan Yifeng, a sense of powerlessness in the face of the current situation, and worry about what might happen in the future.
When Lili saw that Nan Yifeng had drunk her wine, her previously tense heart instantly settled down.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and an undisguised excitement appeared on her face. That excitement spread rapidly in her eyes like a spark, almost overflowing.
She felt that if this matter succeeded, she might really be able to use this opportunity to climb up Nan Yifeng's tree and change her fate from then on.
She glanced furtively at the woman who had undergone plastic surgery, who gave her a smug smile, as if celebrating the success of her "conspiracy."
Lu Feng felt as if a huge boulder weighing a thousand pounds was pressing on his chest, making it so suffocating that he could hardly breathe.
The noisy music and people's laughter around him felt like sharp thorns pricking his nerves, making him increasingly irritable.
He looked at Nan Yifeng, the brother who was once familiar and close to him, but now felt completely unfamiliar to him.
"Nan Yifeng, I'm leaving. You... take care of yourself."
Lu Feng's voice was low and hoarse, each word sounding as if squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with helplessness and disappointment.
His eyes were filled with complex emotions: heartache over Nan Yifeng's unwavering devotion, worry that their friendship might be fractured, and uncertainty about how to face the future.
After speaking, Lu Feng slowly stood up. His movements were somewhat sluggish, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.
He swayed slightly, trying to steady himself, then looked deeply at Nan Yifeng, his eyes seeming to hold a thousand words, yet ultimately he said nothing.
He turned and walked out of the booth, his steps heavy, each step feeling like he was walking on cotton, soft and without any support.
The surrounding lights flickered, casting a long, lonely shadow on him on the ground.
As he walked, he silently thought to himself, "Nan Yifeng, I hope you can wake up soon and not wait until you lose the most precious thing to regret it."
With his departure, the atmosphere in the booth seemed to become even more oppressive.
Nan Yifeng remained seated, staring blankly in the direction Lu Feng had left. A few drops of wine remained in his glass, but he had long lost the desire to drink any more.
Lili and the woman who had undergone plastic surgery looked at each other, unsure how to break the sudden silence.
The woman who had undergone cosmetic surgery was flushed with excitement, her eyes gleaming with greed and triumph. She grabbed Lili's wrist with such force that it seemed she wanted to crush Lili's hand, and hurriedly walked towards the bathroom.
Along the way, she kept looking back, afraid that her "secret plan" would be discovered.
Upon reaching the restroom, the woman who had undergone cosmetic surgery eagerly pushed Lili into a stall and slammed the door shut, the sound particularly jarring in the quiet bathroom.
She put her hands on her hips, stared intently at Lili, and said in a low voice, barely concealing her excitement, "Lili, it's done! Didn't you see that Nan Yifeng drank your wine? That means he doesn't dislike you. Now it's up to you."
Lili nervously twisted the hem of her clothes with both hands, her fingers turning white from the force. Her eyes were filled with fear and unease, and her lips trembled slightly as she said, "Sister, I...I'm a little scared. I don't know what to do."
Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, tinged with a sob.
The woman who had undergone cosmetic surgery frowned and impatiently patted Lili's shoulder, the gesture somewhat rough: "What are you afraid of! You're not a child anymore. Nan Yifeng is so rich and powerful. If you can get close to him, will you ever have to worry about money in the future? You know your family's situation. Your father is waiting for money for surgery, and your brother's tuition is still unsettled."
She deliberately exaggerated the severity of Lili's family's predicament in an attempt to provoke Lili.
Upon hearing the woman's words, Lili's eyes flashed with a hint of wavering and struggle.
She bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly nodded: "Sister, I...I'll give it a try."
Seeing that Lili had agreed, the woman who had undergone cosmetic surgery immediately smiled smugly. She nodded in satisfaction and began to offer Lili advice: "When you get back later, sit next to Nan Yifeng and chat with him a lot. Find an opportunity to toast him a few more times. Then..."
She leaned close to Lili's ear and whispered some unspeakable plans. Lili's face grew redder and redder, and her head drooped lower and lower, but in the end she did not refute them.
