It was almost the holidays, and it was also Christmas. The area around the bar was indeed the most lively. There were people everywhere, and young men and women were squeezed together. In the winter, the streetlights extended in a row, and the trees on both sides were bare and clean because of the season.

  The music in the bar was deafening, and the lights were ambiguous and dazzling. There were already quite a number of people twisting and turning on the dance floor. There were also quite a number of people sitting in groups of three to five, chatting and playing. Occasionally, their gazes would land on the good-looking men and women in the hall.

  When Shi Niange and Qin Siting walked in, she looked at the men and women around them and instinctively leaned against Qin Siting. She could not stand the indecent gazes of those people. When she saw a woman, who was dressed very revealingly, throwing flirtatious glances at Qin Siting, she raised her hand to tug at Qin Siting’s sleeve. In the end, her hand was held by him. He conveniently held her in his arms as he walked in.

  When the men and women saw that they were a couple, they turned around and left without any interest.

  Xiao Da didn’t open a private room. He said that for the sake of liveliness, he wanted to create an atmosphere where many people in his bar had good business. Therefore, he only cleared the large bar counter in the middle of the bar. The others could only go to other bar counters.

  When they arrived, Xiao Da and the rest were already there. The atmosphere was lively.

  Xiao Da was the first to turn back and see Shi Niange and Qin Siting. He immediately raised his brows and nudged the other person beside him with his shoulder. Shi Niange looked over. The moment the person turned his head, she pursed her lips and frowned silently.

  Xiao Luye came so early.

  “Yo, Nian Nian is here!” Xiao Da greeted Shi Niange with a smile and automatically filtered Qin Siting who was by her side.

  Several of the people sitting on the bar counter belonged to the Chinese government. They had a good relationship with Xiao Da, but they did not dare to offend Qin Siting. Putting aside the Qin family’s status, Qin Siting was, after all, a cadre of the student council in the Medical University. If they offended him, did they not want to graduate properly in the future?

  Thus, someone quickly greeted Qin Siting. “Brother Ting.”


  The other person also said cleanly, “Haha, Brother Ting, we usually call you that in the student union. We also call you that in private!”


  Xiao Da glared at the two men unhappily. The two men quickly smiled at him. They didn’t want to offend either side.

  Qin Siting seemed not to have heard them. His gaze did not shift as they met Xiao Luye’s.

  Xiao Luye held a glass of wine in his hand and sat by the bar counter. He turned back to look at him. The two men looked at each other. Qin Siting’s aura was cold and his eyes were indifferent. Xiao Luye only smiled lightly. His smile did not reach his eyes. He raised his glass slightly in Qin Siting’s direction as a greeting.

  However, this action of raising his glass clearly contained a lot of provocation. However, he had taken over the Xiao family’s matters early and had already trained in the business circle. He was more tactful than anyone else. Perhaps even if Xiao Luye wished to cut someone into pieces, he wouldn’t show it completely on his face. However, when it came to matters related to Shi Niange, he didn’t restrain himself. The sharpness in his eyes was fully displayed.

  However, Qin Siting’s aura was completely different. He had always been a person who could control everything. In fact, Shi Niange was not afraid of him suffering losses. She knew that Qin Siting’s intelligence could crush a person like Xiao Da as easily as crushing an ant, but after all, there was still Xiao Luye. She really did not want this Christmas to be unhappy.

  But what could she say? They had already agreed to come over. She couldn’t possibly persuade him like an idiot. The origin of this matter was her.

  But she was really wrong. Who would have thought that her good friend, who wore the same pants as her when she was young, would really like her.

  He had been an overbearing ghost since he was young. Who would be serious with him?

  “Brother Ting, come drink! Come quickly!” The two little brothers took the opportunity to wave at Qin Siting.

  However, Xiao Da chuckled. At the same time, he lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth. “Let our famous Qin Siting drink? That’s not very good, right? I wonder how your Brother Ting’s alcohol tolerance is.”


  Perhaps because Shi Niange’s stare was too intense, Xiao Da avoided her gaze and turned to talk to the other brothers. Xiao Luye didn’t say anything, but there was an obvious smile on his lips. He lowered his head and drank.

  Shi Niange kept holding Qin Siting’s hand. She didn’t want him to compete with this group of people in drinking. It wasn’t as if she didn’t know Qin Siting’s alcohol tolerance, but there was no need to compare with these people. Most of Xiao Da’s friends were hooligans. They were all fooling around. She turned to look at Qin Siting, only to see that he didn’t say a word and was preparing to go over.

  She quickly pulled him back.

  At this moment, Xiao Da signaled to two young ladies not far away. Shi Niange did not notice and the two young ladies suddenly ran over and took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

  “Handsome, can you leave your phone number?”


  “Wow, Almighty Qin, are you our school’s Almighty Qin? We usually only see you at the student union office. You actually came to the bar……”


  “Almighty Qin, give me a call.”


  Qin Siting’s gaze was calm and cold. Under normal circumstances, even if a girl liked him and wanted to contact him, she would not dare to approach him when she saw his gaze. These two girls were clearly bribed.

  Shi Niange didn’t even need to think to know what was going on. She looked up at Xiao Da.

  Xiao Da wanted to teach Qin Siting a lesson, but he didn’t want to offend Shi Niange. He pretended not to see her gaze and turned his head away as he drank.

  “Xiao Da, do you want to have fun this Christmas, or do you want to create something that can’t be resolved properly? We have been friends for more than ten years. Do you want to end it just like this?” Shi Niange had just given them some face, but now her expression was really ugly.

  Xiao Da knew that Shi Niange could always joke, and her temper was not bad. Hearing her words, he paused and turned to look at her. Seeing that she was really angry, he quickly said, “No, Nian Nian, I was just joking with your Almighty Qin……”


  “All right, we all know each other. There’s no need to make such a fuss. Sit,” Xiao Luye suddenly said, putting down the wine glass in his hand.

  Xiao Da pursed his lips. He originally thought that provoking Qin Siting would at least make him lose his composure. In the end, not only was he not provoked, but he also angered Shi Niange. If this little ancestor was really angry, he would be the one to be taught a lesson. After all, Xiao Luye was here. Who dared to make Shi Niange unhappy?

  Boss Xiao Da gave up the seat next to him unhappily and said politely, “All right, all right, hurry up and sit down. We’re all having a good time. It’s just a few jokes!”
