The heavens set sail from the courtyard

I arrived at the bar in less than 30 minutes heading south, and as soon as I arrived, I excitedly looked around.

"What are you looking at?" Wang Gang asked, pulling Xiang Nan down to sit.

"Mi Lai said she'd introduce me to a stunningly beautiful woman." Xiang Nan was practically a husky in heat, just short of sticking out his tongue.

"Where's the beautiful woman? Did you hide her away?"

"The person hasn't arrived yet," Wang Gang said irritably. "Sit down and have something to drink first."

Xiang Nan asked anxiously, "How can I possibly have any appetite for anything? Where did the Milai people go?"

Wang Gang pointed to the back of the bar stage and said, "Chunxiao is going to perform later, and Mi Lai will stay backstage with her."

Xiang Nan was taken aback and said, "Chunxiao is here too?"

Wang Gang nodded and said, "Chunxiao performs at the bar four days a week. She came over after attending the opening ceremony of Huazi Auto Shop."

Xiang Nan grabbed Wang Gang by the neck and said angrily, "Gao Qiang, why did you introduce Chunxiao to Hua Zi instead of me?"

Ever since Xiang Nan met Chunxiao at the car dealership today, he has been filled with envy and jealousy towards Hua Zi. He only regrets that he met Chunxiao too late, otherwise Hua Zi would have no chance!

During their four years of university, Xiang Nan and Hua Zi focused on their studies and didn't put much energy into dating. They also didn't have the same charm with women as Lu Tao, so they could only envy their classmates who had partners.

After everyone graduated, Xiang Nan was busy adapting to his work environment and naturally didn't have the chance to meet a suitable girl.

He originally thought that Hua Zi and Wang Gang were also single, which made him feel a little better, but he didn't expect that Hua Zi would get Chun Xiao without anyone knowing, which made Xiang Nan quite envious.

Despite his envy, Xiang Nan wasn't particularly jealous. He just became more eager to find a partner, so when Mi Lai mentioned introducing him to a beautiful woman, he eagerly came running over.

“Chunxiao is Mi Lai’s friend, and it was Mi Lai who introduced her to Hua Zi. What’s the use of blaming me?” Wang Gang shook off Xiang Nan’s arm and said:
"Besides, Hua Zi is still pursuing Chun Xiao, but hasn't succeeded yet. If you want, you can try to win her over!"

Xiang Nan said seriously, "Gao Qiang, your thinking is very dangerous!"

Wang Gang laughed and said, "Did I say something wrong? Neither of you are married. If you really like her, go for it! Let's compete fairly."

Xiang Nan shook his head and said, "I know that one should not covet a friend's wife. Since Hua Zi has already taken a liking to Chun Xiao, I cannot do such a thing."

Wang Gang glanced at Xiang Nan and said softly, "You're quite loyal to your brothers. I never would have guessed."

Xiang Nan said with a righteous expression, "Of course, I, Xiang Nan, am willing to go through fire and water for my brothers, and I will even risk my life for them."

Wang Gang scoffed, "It's just that Chunxiao doesn't suit your taste!"

Xiang Nan suddenly broke down, grinning and saying, "Qiangzi, how come you have such sharp eyes!"

Wang Gang sneered, "I know you too well. If you really met someone you liked, you'd fight Hua Zi to the death for her."

Xiang Nan chuckled and said, "Although Chunxiao is pretty, she has too strong a personality and is too tall. Even in high heels, she's almost taller than me. She's really not suitable for me."

I still prefer the demure, gentle, and lovely type.

Wang Gang scoffed, "You've really gone too far."

Xiang Nan suddenly became coy and said in a high-pitched voice, "I'm very serious about relationships, and this is my first time!"

Wang Gang said speechlessly, "Knowing you're a virgin, what's there to be proud of?"

Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then stared intently at Wang Gang, saying incredulously, "No way! You're not anymore?"

Wang Gang didn't want to talk to Xiang Nan about this topic, so he raised his hand and snapped his fingers at Manny.

"Sister Manny, get him a beer."

Manny gave an OK sign from afar, then brought over a small Budweiser.

"Handsome guy, is this your first time here? I've never seen you before?"

When Xiang Nan first met Manny, he immediately laughed and said, "If I had known there was such a beautiful woman here, I would have come much sooner."

Manny chuckled and said, "Are you Gao Qiang's friend?" Xiang Nan nodded and said, "We were college classmates and slept in the same dorm for four years. My name is Xiang Nan."

Manny suddenly realized, glanced at Wang Gang, and said, "My name is Manny, and I own this bar."

Xiang Nan exclaimed happily, "So it's the beautiful boss lady!"

Manny laughed and said, "Are all the people in your dorm this sweet-talking?"

Xiang Nan said, "Boss lady, I'm not just flattering you, you're the most beautiful bar owner I've ever seen."

"You have such a sweet tongue." Manny was pleased and said to Xiang Nan, "This beer is on me."

"Thank you, landlady!" Xiang Nan said even more happily, "Then can my friend's drinks be waived too?"

Manny chuckled and said, "Gao Qiang's drinks are all billed on credit."

Xiang Nan asked in confusion, "Qiangzi, do you come here for drinks often?"

Wang Gang laughed and said, "Come sit down whenever you have time. The wine here is delicious, and the proprietress is even more so."

Manny rolled her eyes at Wang Gang, then asked Xiang Nan, "Was Gao Qiang like this in school too?"

Xiang Nan shook his head and said, "No! Gao Qiang was a quiet guy in school. He didn't even hold a girl's hand during his four years of college."

Manny looked at Wang Gang with surprise. Her previous impression of Wang Gang was that he was a seasoned player in love, with very sophisticated flirting skills!

"Ahem." Wang Gang coughed and said to Xiang Nan, "Why are we talking about this? Let's drink."

Manny looked at Wang Gang with a half-smile, her eyes seeming to say, "I don't believe a single word your brother says."

Wang Gang touched his nose and said to Manny, "Sister Manny, we're planning to go on a picnic in the countryside this weekend. Why don't you come along?"

Manny shook her head and refused, saying, "I'm not as free as you guys. I have to run my shop, I don't have time to play."

Wang Gang said, "There are other people watching the shop, right? You can rest for a day or two without any problem! Just take it easy and clear your mind."

Manny rolled her eyes at Wang Gang and said with a charming smile, "We'll see when the time comes!"

After saying that, Manny went to greet the other guests.

Xiang Nan also noticed something at this moment, his eyes darting between Wang Gang and Manny, as if he had discovered a new continent.

After Manny left, Xiang Nan excitedly said to Wang Gang, "Qiangzi, you don't like the boss's wife, do you?"

Wang Gang readily admitted, "Yes!"

Xiang Nan's mouth formed an "O" shape as he glanced at Manny in the distance and said, "The boss lady must be much older than us!"

Wang Gang said nonchalantly, "They're only a few years older than us."

Xiang Nan asked curiously, "Gao Qiang, so you like mature women! Do your parents know?"

Wang Gang shrugged indifferently, letting Xiang Nan think whatever she wanted. He just wanted to live a carefree life, doing whatever he pleased, flirting with whoever he liked. Why care about so much!
Just then, Mi Lai walked over with a pretty young woman.

"Gao Qiang, Xiang Nan, let me introduce you to a beautiful woman."

Wang Gang and Xiang Nan's eyes were immediately drawn to the beautiful woman next to Mi Lai.

"This is Yang Xiaoyun, my best friend," Mi Lai introduced, linking arms with the pretty young woman.

The moment Xiang Nan saw Yang Xiaoyun, his eyes widened and he couldn't look away.

Wang Gang, on the other hand, acted normally and took the initiative to greet Yang Xiaoyun.

"Miss Yang, hello, I'm Gao Qiang. Do you usually like to get your hair done?" (End of Chapter)
