At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

Half past five.

The lights of the "Red Rose Bar," which is still undergoing upgrades and renovations, are on.

Lin Xiamo chose this location for the gathering mainly so that her friends could get acquainted with the place and also to offer their opinions on the bar's renovation.

She has now submitted her resignation, and music will be her future career. The bar that Shen Qiushan asked her to help manage is also part of her career.

She knew long ago that the path of music was not easy, especially since she had already passed the golden age of making her way in the music industry. After all, she was already over thirty, and her energy and drive couldn't compare to those young people in their early twenties.

But Shen Qiushan's success also gave her great encouragement.

Even a 38-year-old can pursue their dreams, let alone her who is only 32!
The worst outcome would be failure in pursuing her dream, but for a family like hers, there are still many options, which is why she has the confidence to resign and take a chance.

The bar was closed and there were no staff members.

After discussing it, Lin Xiamo and Shen Qiushan decided to have hot pot today. The two went to a nearby supermarket to shop and bought all the items and ingredients needed for the hot pot.

There's no need to buy alcohol; the bar has plenty in stock.

Around six o'clock, a BYD Han pulled up in front of the bar, and Zhu Xinyue and Hu Tingting got out of the car.

"Is this here?"

Hu Tingting tossed her signature long blue hair.

"It seems so!"

"This is the location Momo posted, but the bar isn't open either!"

"what the hell!"

Zhu Xinyue pointed to the words "Upgrade and Renovation" posted on the bar door.

Just as the two were talking, Lin Xiamo, who had seen them, came out to greet them: "Where's Lao Fang?"

"Didn't you come along?"

"I'm working overtime, and I said I'd be there a little later."

"MoMo, is this place closed?"

Hu Tingting asked in confusion.

"Well, let's go in and talk."

Lin Xiamo led the two into the bar.

The two tables in front of the stage have now been put together and are filled with a variety of delicious ingredients.

"Welcome to our shop, ladies."

Shen Qiushan came out of the kitchen carrying a basin of freshly washed vegetables.

"Ouch!"

"No wonder I was able to get in even though it wasn't open for business. Turns out it's Brother Shen's shop!"

Zhu Xinyue sighed.

"No wonder Momo resigned so suddenly; it turns out she had already prepared a backup plan."

"If my husband opened a bar for me, I'd quit my job tomorrow. I don't want to work that lousy job again!"

As mentioned before, Hu Tingting is the only one of the four members of the Red Rose Band who is married. Her husband works for a foreign company and has a decent income, while she works for a private company where she earns little and has a lot of work.

But given the current job market, she didn't dare to quit, since the income from forming a band was limited and extremely unstable. However, now that Lin Xiamo had quit, things had taken a turn for the better.

Because of their online popularity, the Red Rose Band's current commercial asking price has reached 50,000 yuan per show.

If you perform several shows a month, the income can be quite substantial.

"If you'd like, you can come to work tomorrow."

Shen Qiushan smiled and shrugged: "The bar is still under renovation, and Momo can't manage it all by herself."

"Really?"

"Brother Shen, you're not kidding, are you?!"

Hu Tingting's face lit up with surprise. Working at the bar with Lin Xiamo would allow them to study music together in their spare time, which was much more comfortable than her current job.

"of course it's true."

"From now on, this bar will be the Red Rose Band's headquarters."

Shen Qiushan said with a confident expression.

"have to!"

"Then I'll resign tomorrow!"

"I hope Mr. Shen will take good care of me in the future!"

Hu Tingting made a quick decision and immediately resigned.

"What kind of boss is he?!"

"Let's just call him Brother Shen. Besides, as I said before, I'm also a member of the Red Rose Band!"

Shen Qiushan shrugged: "Remember to change the member introductions on Kuaiyin."

"That's great, I'll change it right now!"

"With Brother Shen around, it would be hard for our Red Rose Band not to become a hit!"

Hu Tingting has been running the Kuaishou account for the Red Rose Band, which currently has 35 followers. She immediately opened the profile editing page in the Kuaishou backend and wrote Shen Qiushan's name on the member list.

"Brother Shen, do you have a Kuaishou account?"

"I'll just tag your Kuaishou account directly!"

Hu Tingting asked while making the changes.

"Uh, yes!"

"But wait a moment."

Shen Qiushan would also watch short videos when he had time, but the big data seemed to know better and recommended a bunch of borderline women. There were many similar videos in Shen Qiushan's account's favorites. He set his account to privacy mode so that others could not see his favorites and follows, which is why he told Hu Tingting his ID.

Uncle Shen's Diary

Hu Tingting read out Shen Qiushan's nickname and suggested, "Brother Shen, you can actually just use your own name and apply for official verification. There are a lot of accounts impersonating you on Kuaishou now."

"Hmm, I'll try it when I have time."

In this day and age, building a personal brand is highly valued. If you build a good personal brand, its commercial value is immeasurable.

Shen Qiushan had never taken this path before, partly because he wanted to focus on preparing for the college entrance examination, and partly because he felt that a man with such advantages didn't need to do these things.

But now that I think about it, who doesn't want more money?

Moreover, personal social media can also be used to speak out and refute rumors, since there are many people online who criticize and smear Shen Qiushan.

Let's eat first!

"Old Fang said it would be around seven o'clock!"

The four sat down, and Zhu Xinyue glanced at the messages on her phone and said...

"Then let's eat while we wait."

Shen Qiushan turned on the induction cooker and started throwing the ingredients in when the water was boiling.

"Brother Shen, you're the host today, shouldn't you say a few words?"

After taking a couple of bites of meat, Zhu Xinyue said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll say a few words."

Shen Qiushan picked up his wine glass, glanced at Lin Xiamo sitting next to him, and said, "This meal is to celebrate Momo's new life!"

“I know that Momo has always had a dream of music, and now she can finally put everything aside and wholeheartedly pursue her dream.”

"I want to make this clear: no matter what Momo's family's attitude is, I will firmly support Momo and always stand behind her!!"

"Come on, cheers!"

After saying this, Shen Qiushan raised his glass and clinked it with the three women.

All four of them drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.

However, after putting down her glass, Hu Tingting, the only married woman in the band, started making lewd jokes again. She teased with a grin, "Brother Shen, aren't you going to do something while standing behind Momo?"

"Support her, what else can we do!"

Shen Qiushan rolled his eyes at the married woman: "Come on, let's drink!"

"This drink is specially made by me."

Shen Qiushan poured Hu Tingting another glass of wine. Just as he said, this wine was indeed specially mixed by him, with a small bottle of "vitality essence" added to a bottle of Langjiu.

This is a souvenir he recently won in a raffle. The description says it has the effects of "nourishing the skin, tonifying the kidneys, and boosting vitality".

This thing seems to be the counterpart to "endurance spray," one is suitable for men, while the other is suitable for both men and women.

Of course, women have always had a higher demand for skincare and beauty products than men, so this product can be said to be more suitable for women.

However, Shen Qiushan had never used it himself, and thought he would take it out today to do an experiment and then ask the three of them how they felt.

"Brother Shen can mix drinks too?!"

"Then I have to try it!"

Hu Tingting immediately took a sip of the wine that Shen Qiushan poured for her, but it was no different from normal liquor.

"How about it?"

Shen Qiushan asked curiously.

"Brother Shen, are you sure this drink has been mixed?"

"It doesn't seem like anything has changed," Hu Tingting said truthfully.

"I'll try it."

Zhu Xinyue also took a small sip, savored the taste carefully, and then teased, "Brother Shen, it seems you're not all-around talented. There's a lot of room for improvement in your bartending skills!"

"Haha, I'll study it properly later."

Shen Qiushan smiled. The system reward mentioned that the "Vitality Essence" was colorless and odorless, so drinking it shouldn't cause any abnormalities. He estimated that there would be feedback later or tomorrow.

The four of them chatted while drinking.

It's just past seven o'clock.

An orange Jeep Wrangler pulled up in front of the bar, and Fang Di, dressed in a brown suit and wearing black-rimmed glasses, finally arrived.

She clearly came straight here after get off work; her outfit has a very professional vibe.

"Old Fang, you're over an hour late. Shouldn't you punish yourself with three drinks first?"

Already somewhat drunk, Hu Tingting placed three glasses of wine in front of Fang Di.

However, these three glasses are beer, and the glasses aren't very big.

Clearly, Hu Tingting did not intend to kill her teammate!
Fang Di, who is always very cool, picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it down one by one without saying a word!

Once all three glasses were empty, she finally spoke up and cursed, "That idiot boss! He always assigns tasks right before we're about to leave work. He seems uncomfortable unless he sees us working overtime!"

"Some bosses are like that; they take pleasure in tormenting their employees."

Zhu Xinyue, who is also a working person, felt the same way.

"MoMo, are you sure you're going to quit your job to focus on your band?"

"If you can commit, I'll quit my job too!"

"I never want to work another day of this lousy class!"

Fang Di was cursing and swearing, and it was clear that she was really being tormented by the boss she was talking about.

"I've already spoken with the school leaders. I'll hand over my work in the next few days, and then I'll be able to leave completely!"

"That's daring!"

"I'll just take a year off to participate in 'Voice of China,' and then resign when I get back!"

Fang Di plans to take advantage of her paid leave before leaving.

"You guys are really cool, but I'll wait until the band is more stable before I dare to leave."

Zhu Xinyue couldn't help but sigh. She came from the worst-off family among the four and still has to send money to her parents in her rural hometown every month.

Especially since her father was bedridden and his monthly medication cost nearly two thousand yuan, Zhu Xinyue dared not slack off in the slightest. When the band was reorganized, the other three were focused on their musical dreams, but she was more concerned with practical issues.

With the band reformed, they should be able to earn more money!

All three knew about Zhu Xinyue's family situation, so they didn't say much.

The party lasted until after 11 p.m.

Hu Tingting and Fang Di each called a designated driver.

Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo walked back to the faculty dormitory.

Shen Qiushan wasn't as drunk as last time, probably only about 60-70% drunk, but Lin Xiamo drank too much today, and when they walked back, most of her weight was on Shen Qiushan.

Fortunately, Shen Qiushan is now a man with the title of "King of Strength," so this weight is nothing to him.

However, dragging Lin Xiamo along was too tiring, so he simply carried her on his back.

In an instant, Lin Xiamo's weight was all on him, but for Shen Qiushan, the most direct feeling was not the weight of about 100 pounds, but the exaggerated touch on his back.

The scene from his last drunken episode involuntarily flashed through his mind.

To be honest, the feel of it is absolutely amazing.

Lin Xiamo instinctively wrapped her arms around Shen Qiushan's neck, and without anyone noticing, she took off her high heels and held them in her hands.

The early autumn night breeze blew by, and besides Lin Xiamo's hair, what caught Shen Qiushan's eye were her black high heels.
Back to the faculty and staff dormitory.

Shen Qiushan originally intended to take Lin Xiamo back to her room, but after searching her entire body, he still couldn't find the key.

If nothing unexpected happens, the key should have been left at the bar along with Lin Xiamo's backpack.

Left with no other choice, Shen Qiushan reluctantly took Lin Xiamo back to his room.

After putting the other person on the bed, Shen Qiushan breathed a sigh of relief and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When he returned to the room, Lin Xiamo was already fast asleep, the kind of fast asleep, and she had even taken off her T-shirt.

Clearly, she had no defenses against Shen Qiushan.

Sigh, only a righteous gentleman like me can pull this off!

If it were a different man, could he have resisted?
Shen Qiushan sighed silently, then lay down next to Lin Xiamo.

Having already shared a bed before, this time it felt much more natural!

Moreover, their relationship has warmed up considerably during this time, and now they're just one step away from breaking through the final barrier.
Although he was more sober than last time, Shen Qiushan had still drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and he fell asleep without realizing it.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he felt someone crawl into his arms. The body was hot and burning, and it wrapped around him like an octopus!
In Shen Qiushan's mind, this must be a dream!

It was just a color dream I hadn't had in a long time.

Whether in dreams or in reality, Shen Qiushan is never one to admit defeat.

No matter what kind of monster it is.

Even they couldn't withstand his Ruyi Jingu Bang!
The next morning.

A ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains into the room, illuminating Shen Qiushan's face.

He frowned slightly with his eyes closed, then changed his position and continued sleeping.

As he turned over, he suddenly realized that someone was pinching his "seven inches".

Shen Qiushan was shocked and quickly opened his eyes.

Then he was completely stunned.

Lin Xiamo slept right next to him, which was nothing new.

The problem is that this time the situation is completely different from the last time.

Last time, Lin Xiamo was dressed, but this time she was completely naked, her pretty face flushed, and her breathing even.

But one of her hands gripped the protruding part of Shen Qiushan's body, as if she had some deep-seated hatred for it!
this.
Shen Qiushan instantly sobered up.

Last night was not a dream!
It really happened!

dong dong dong~
Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Qiushan was greatly surprised.

I quickly checked the time; it was 7:30.

Who could it be so early?

The knocking startled Lin Xiamo from her deep sleep. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Shen Qiushan lying beside her.

"Well!"

Just as Lin Xiamo was about to cry out, Shen Qiushan quickly covered her mouth with his hand.

Phew!

Lin Xiamo bit Shen Qiushan's palm hard, but after realizing the situation, she didn't say anything more.

"I gonna go see!"

Shen Qiushan looked at the teeth marks on his palm and got out of bed, grimacing.

However, upon seeing a man's naked body, Lin Xiamo quickly turned her head away, and at the same time, she realized that she was in the same state as him.
Shen Qiushan hurriedly put on a nightgown and asked as he walked towards the door, "Who is it?"

"Old Shen, it's me."

Liu Qingwu's voice came from outside the door.

"Teacher Liu, is something the matter?"

Upon seeing that it was Liu Qingwu, Shen Qiushan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, the image of his father-in-law, Lin Moxuan, had already appeared in his mind.

I still remember the last time they actually stormed into the school.

“I bought breakfast, but I didn’t hear you leave, so I thought I’d give it to you.”

Liu Qingwu never gave up on Shen Qiushan, this big fish; buying him breakfast was just routine.

"Uh, thanks."

Shen Qiushan opened the door a crack and took the breakfast from Liu Qingwu.

After all, he is my assistant counselor, and it's not easy to refuse when he takes the initiative to convey goodwill.

"I haven't eaten either."

"Would it be convenient for us to come in and eat together?"

Liu Qingwu smiled and waved the other breakfast in her hand.

"Uh, it's not very convenient!"

Shen Qiushan spoke the truth.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingwu paused for a moment, then responded with a wry smile: "Okay, then I'll go back and eat."

After saying that, Liu Qingwu still couldn't give up and peeked into the room through the crack in the door that Shen Qiushan had opened, but unfortunately, she saw nothing. (End of this chapter)
