Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 29 29. Starlight in the Deep Sea
The corridors of the Moulin Rouge are a little crowded.

Lu Jincheng had to hold Zhong Ruixi and move sideways together to barely allow a group of beauties with heavy makeup and short deep V skirts to pass by.

"Good evening, distinguished guest, welcome to the Moulin Rouge~"

Zhong Ruixi then saw the door of the box next to her open, and the beauties filed in and bowed in unison.

"What are they doing?"

The music was very loud, so she leaned close to Lu Jincheng's ear and asked curiously.

"Test bench."

Lu Jincheng turned his head to answer, his cheeks tickled by the girl's breathing.

She was indeed drunk, so much so that her breathing became heavier.

On both sides of the corridor, rhythmic sounds can be vaguely heard coming from the crowded private rooms.

But it didn't seem like anyone was singing.

"Dear guests, welcome to the Moulin Rouge. I am the marketing manager Dafei. The first show tonight is - Ants Climbing Trees!"

The door of a private room was slightly open, revealing a tiny gap.

Zhong Ruixi didn't want to watch it at first, but the scene of a group of beauties rushing into the box just now was too impressive.

She couldn't help but turn her head and glance through the crack in the door.

Just one glance.

Her originally blurred eyes seemed to be shocked by the lighting fireworks at that moment. Her pupils dilated slightly, revealing incredible surprise. Her already rosy cheeks spread to her neck, like the bright sunrise glow like brocade satin.

"Holy shit."

Zhong Ruixi's lips opened slightly, as if she wanted to turn around and say something, but her voice seemed to be strangled by something and could only make a faint buzzing sound.

What are they doing!

Oh my god, tongue, is this how girls use their tongue?

The girl's fingers were unconsciously entangled together, tightly grasping the corner of her clothes, her body was slightly stiff, and her eyes involuntarily avoided the scene that made her shy, but she couldn't help but secretly glance at it, and then quickly retracted her eyes.

"what happened?"

Lu Jincheng tried hard to control his facial expression and asked the question even though he knew the answer.

"Nothing, nothing, go away! Don't look around."

Zhong Ruixi bit her lower lip, took two quick steps, and pulled Lu Jincheng away from the door.

She shook her head vigorously, trying to forget the scene that had just come into her eyes, but her heartbeat still echoed in her chest like a drum.

"I'm going to the bathroom first."

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but the feeling of shyness and shock came over her like a tide, leaving her with nowhere to escape.

After watching Zhong Ruixi enter the bathroom, Lu Jincheng leaned his butt against the sink, lit the Yellow Crane Tower in his hand, and watched the billowing smoke swirling and spreading under the light.

It is very quiet here compared to the private room, so when that little humming sound is heard, it is difficult to ignore it.

The round-headed, stick-drawn sign on the bathroom was flashing a light blue light. Panting sounds came out from the middle of the light, crawling on the ground like an ant.

There is a toilet in the box, but he insists on challenging the public place. This is the Moulin Rouge he knows.

There must be someone making out inside. This is not uncommon and does not affect Mr. Lu's mood.

So he pretended not to hear and continued to enjoy the cigarette in his hand.

The battle ended quickly.

After a minute, the muffled groan turned into a long nasal moan.

For those middle-aged people whose brains are filled with alcohol, this kind of public environment is too stimulating and they are bound to perform poorly.

After a few dozen seconds, Zhong Ruixi walked out quickly from the inner room with his head lowered, his eyes always focused on the ground, his cheeks as red as blood.

For the 18-year-old green female college student, the surprise and shock brought to her by tonight's trip to the Moulin Rouge is undoubtedly equivalent to a powerful Kaio-ken strike in her original understanding of the world.

It's almost done.

"Come on, let's go out for some fresh air. This place seems a bit messy."

Lu Jincheng stretched out his hand and embraced Zhong Ruixi's graceful waist with an extremely natural movement.

She nodded and leaned towards Lu Jincheng, not refusing. It would be nice if I could close my five senses, so I wouldn't be able to see or hear what just happened.
Compared to those, being hugged by a boy around the waist is also normal, right?

After all, in such a strange place, having a man around always makes you feel more secure.

Just after walking out of the Moulin Rouge, Zhong Ruixi leaned on the railing on the roadside in Hsinchu and breathed a sigh of relief.

Not far away, browned skewers were being roasted in the stove, osmanthus trees on the roadside were swaying their branches and leaves, delicious and spicy duck clavicles were piled up in the braised goods stalls, and under the dim street lights, vendors were quietly packing up their stalls.

Facing the familiar world of fireworks, she seemed to be a lot more sober as the evening breeze blew.

"Luckily, you were the one who came out to see me off when I went to the bathroom just now."

The two of them stood very close to each other, shoulder to shoulder, with their arms resting on the edge of the railing. If they turned their heads, they could see the delicate beauty mole.

Zhong Ruixi is indeed beautiful tonight.

Unlike her high school days when she had no makeup on, her black hair was draped softly, and her retro skirt elegantly wrapped around her knees. This time she wore dark eye shadow, eyeliner and bright rose-red lipstick. When she raised her eyes, she had the temperament of a classical beauty, and her long neck made her look like a swan.

"Ok?"

"I'm a little bit more clear now. Those... should be the young ladies singing with me, right?"

Zhong Ruixi circled her hair with her fingers and paused for a few seconds.

"If you don't come with me, I might be mistaken for them by others, and that would be very troublesome."

"you're right."

Lu Jincheng nodded.

Many novels contain scenes of showing off and then getting slapped in the face at KTVs. The best example is that the heroine is mistaken for a beauty by a drunk villain, and then the hero rushes into a rage to save the beauty from the dire straits and wins the heroine's heart.

But in the real world, whether it is a shopping mall or a club, everyone opens their doors and does business honestly, there are waiters on all floors ready to serve, and there are dozens of beauties for you to choose from, so where do all the conflicts come from?
The most outrageous thing they would do is probably to run into their ideal type in the bathroom and ask him/her what number he/she is.

That's it.

"So, I find you're pretty reliable."

Zhong Ruixi recalled Lu Jincheng's actions tonight, and her eyes were sparkling as if they were filled with stars in the sky.

"Not always."

Lu Jincheng lit a cigarette in the wind, shook his wrist, smiled and shook his head.

"Yes, you actually know such professional terms."

Zhong Ruixi suddenly remembered something and continued to ask: "How do you know that they call it a test stage?"

“When I heard that we were going to sing here, I checked it online in advance.”

"Oh~ This is the first time I noticed you are so attentive."

"I spend all night with you, not because I'm afraid you'll get drunk and act crazy."

"Eh? Have you ever seen me act crazy when I'm drunk?"

"You missed the point, didn't you?"

Lu Jincheng put one hand on Zhong Ruixi's shoulder and looked into her eyes.

"Then what's the reason?"

The blush on Zhong Ruixi's ears had not yet faded away, and she was stuttering slightly. The pause in her tone concealed a hint of her shyness.

Mr. Lu knew very well that every sentence that followed would greatly affect the distance between him and her.

"Because it's comfortable to be with you."

Lu Jincheng looked at the colorful street scenes on Hsinchu Road and said lazily.

“No need for awkward conversations, no need for flattering smiles, no need to think about the past and the future. Just looking at the present is enough.”

Zhong Ruixi opened her mouth slightly, and her hands, which were pinching the hem of her skirt, turned white unconsciously. She said nothing.

But Lu Jincheng could hear her breathing becoming heavier. His confession was very effective and successfully touched her emotions.

Of course that worked, because Mr. Lu didn't lie to her.

He used to be a monster living in the dark deep sea, but he would also want to occasionally come out of the sea and look at the stars.

Zhong Ruixi is his starlight.
