Night Rose

"Yes, alright then." Su Jin blushed.

The lights perfectly concealed the traces.

Ling Keke laughed heartily and threw herself into Su Jin's arms, "I knew it! With your abilities, you'd definitely win over that handsome little brother!"

"It's not that exaggerated, is he really that handsome?" Su Jin deliberately changed the subject.

Ling Keke carefully examined the photos. "Wow, so handsome! He's so much better looking than all the ugly ducklings in my company. This photographer also captured my baby so beautifully. The poses you two are doing are so ambiguous, you're such a perfect match!"

Su Jin laughed and snatched the phone back, stuffing a few fries into her mouth. "Eat something. All you do is sweet talk. No wonder you're a PR person."

"I'm telling the truth." Ling Keke said while eating fries, her eyes calmly landing on the muscular man performing on stage.

She excitedly patted Su Jin's arm, "Quick, quick, lend me your phone to record a video."

Su Jin handed it to her, asking curiously, "Where's your phone?"

Ling Keke skillfully unlocked her phone and opened the camera interface. "My phone is out of battery. The call I made to you used up its last bit of power."

"Alright then." Su Jin smiled indulgently.

She knew Ling Keke well. She was reliable at work, but a complete scatterbrain in her personal life. She often went out without charging her phone, and when her phone ran out of battery, she didn't care and just left it aside to play her own games. If she couldn't find someone because their phone was dead, she would consider it bad luck.

But his work phone is always charged and never lets him down at work.

Su Jin had to call her on her work phone several times to find her; she was both a headache and someone you loved.

Most of the muscular men performing on stage were white. Their bulging muscles were awe-inspiring. They were so big that it felt like one punch could slam someone against a wall and stick them there forever.

Su Jin didn't like such exaggerated muscles. She preferred Zhou Zheng's slender muscles, with beautiful muscle lines bulging out, and his abdominal and pectoral muscles in the most perfect state, neither exaggerated nor skinny.

Ling Keke took photos with her phone for ten minutes. When she put the phone down, she didn't forget to comment, "It's better to have muscular men like this. Unlike those skinny men, they don't interest me at all."

"Then why don't you find one?" Su Jin asked.

Ling Keke pouted, not caring. "I'm busy with work, so the men I meet are too monotonous. There are no muscular men at all! But I can't just look at muscles. Character, job, and family situation are all very important."

Judging from her tone, Su Jin realized that she really wanted to find a partner, but unfortunately, there was no suitable one around.

"It's alright, take your time looking."

"Well, we can take our time finding a partner. We should look for muscular men now," Ling Keke said seriously.

They sat alone in the booth, their good looks attracting attention. Ling Keke, dressed provocatively, naturally drew a lot of attention.

A man dressed like an elite walked over, naturally shared a drink with Ling Keke, sat down at a booth, and chatted with her.

The two chatted and drank, and soon finished a bottle. Su Jin would occasionally feed her some food to prevent her from drinking too much and getting a stomachache at night.

The man's gaze inadvertently fell on Su Jin, and seeing her looking down at her phone, he seemed somewhat disappointed.

"Your real intention isn't what it seems?" Ling Keke squinted at him, feeling a pang of regret. The man was wearing a formal shirt, his arms bulging with muscles from the sleeve cuffs—just the kind of guy she liked.

The man smiled, raised his wine glass towards Su Jin, and asked, "May I introduce myself?"

Ling Keke moved away from his wine glass, her eyes sparkling like a seductive fox in the night.

"No, she has a boyfriend."

"Then I can add you..."

Ling Keke leaned back, revealing her beautiful figure. "No way! If you're interested in my sisters, why add me?"

"I apologize for my intrusion, but you are all very beautiful." The man smiled, took a sip of his drink, snapped his fingers, and called over a waiter. "This table is on me."

Ling Keke clicked her tongue lightly, "Then I won't give you my contact information either."

"I offer this fine wine to the beautiful lady as a token of my apology." The man rose, nodded slightly, and left.

Su Jin, who had been listening the whole time, nudged her and said, "Why don't you seize the opportunity?"

"First impressions are very important, and I'm not one to settle for second best. Although my baby is excellent, I'm not bad either. My destined partner is still a long way off," Ling Keke said with a frank smile.

Su Jin touched her forehead. "That's right. Besides, he looks respectable and has an air of sophistication. He's like a workaholic, not suitable for you."

Ling Keke nodded vigorously, "Yes! The man I want must have a relaxed job, be outstanding, handsome, muscular, and considerate! That's not too much to ask, is it?"

"Not high!" Su Jin laughed and nestled into her arms.

Ling Keke smiled and kissed her cheek. "Baby, you stay by yourself for a while. I'm going to go play with someone else."

"Go ahead." Su Jin waved her hand. She knew that Ling Keke was a social butterfly, and it was no fun for her to drink alone. She needed to find someone to play games with.

Ling Keke went out for a stroll, but she didn't forget her friend. She brought the handsome Asian guy she had just hooked up with back to the booth.

Su Jin leaned back in her booth, scrolling through videos. As it approached 1 a.m., she thought Zhou Zheng should be awake by now, so she sent him an emoji.

Sure enough, Zhou Zheng finally reacted.

Zhou: What?

Su: [Cat peeking out JPG]

A phone call came through immediately.

Su Jin almost dropped her phone. She glanced at the name and wanted to go outside the bar to answer the call, but there was still a pile of food on the table, including Ling Keke's bag, which was still on her seat. There was no suitable opportunity.

She made one wrong decision: she answered the phone in the bar.

When the call connected, Zhou Zheng frowned upon hearing her voice on the other end, his tone indifferent, "Where are you?"

"I am here……"

"Sister, may I sit here?" a clear male voice asked, speaking in fluent English.

Su Jin thought to herself: Oh no.

As expected, there was no response from Zhou Zheng. After a while, he called out sourly, "Sister? You should have fun with that foreign handsome guy!"

The call was immediately disconnected.

Su Jin was dumbfounded. She hadn't expected things to be so coincidental. Where did this younger brother come from?

She looked up and met the eyes of a male college student wearing a sleeveless vest. He had long eyelashes and was smiling, and his smile was somewhat similar to Zhou Zheng's.

Ling Keke sat down next to Su Jin, patted her seat, and gestured for the male student to sit down. "Sit next to the older sister. That older sister has a puppy, and it's very fierce."

The man laughed loudly as he looked at Ling Keke, "And what about you, sister?"

"Of course I didn't." Ling Keke propped her head up and looked at him with admiration in her eyes.

So young! So full of energy!

Of course, she didn't forget about her sister's matter, and leaned close to Su Jin's ear to ask, "Are you alright? Did he hang up on you? I didn't pay attention to the timing when I brought people back."

"It's nothing." Su Jin felt a little annoyed. Hearing Zhou Zheng's words made her very uncomfortable and unhappy!

"What's wrong? Go call him back quickly, don't let it cause any misunderstandings," Ling Keke urged.
