    Chapter 80 – A Little Pre-New Year Entertainment

    After the final exams, the second-year high school students had another week of classes, and then the winter vacation truly began.

    But as the end of the year approached, Duan Yunhong became busier instead, and his trips back to Nancheng became less frequent. People in business tend to be more active before the New Year. Ji Zhenwei was also dragged by Duan Yunhong to Shenzhen, under the guise of “building relationships with certain key figures.”

    Ji Zhenwei’s entertainment activities suddenly became much richer.

    In this era of lax regulation, there are many “tricks” for building relationships, and Shenzhen’s nightclubs are full of fresh “imported goods.” Ji Zhenwei, with his extensive experience and self-proclaimed boldness, integrated quickly. Within a few days of arriving in Shenzhen, he was already enjoying “Western cuisine.” Moreover, Ji Yuechi was also present when he was selecting women. Watching his father kissing and cuddling with foreign women, Ji Yuechi initially felt a bit strange, but soon accepted it. In the words of these people, this is just “playing along.” Everyone else is doing it, and if you don’t, you won’t be able to fit in.

    As for Ji Yuechi himself, he had already experienced this routine and was quite used to it now. He considered himself to have some status and didn’t like bringing these girls of unknown origin out. He had regular girls accompanying him in these familiar entertainment venues, “specially introduced” to him by the owner. They were a few new girls, with varying details about their backgrounds, but they all boiled down to “students who originally had good grades but were forced to do this for various reasons.” Ji Yuechi fell for this, feeling that such girls were (relatively) clean, so he always had the ones with the most tender faces around him.

    As for Duan Yunhong, there were indeed people around him in the nightclubs. Those people snuggled into his arms, and Duan Yunhong didn’t refuse, looking no different from other bosses. As for whether he took anyone away, surprisingly, no one seemed to notice. After all, most people were at least half-drunk and could barely take care of themselves, let alone pay attention to whether other adults were taking anyone away.

    Another late night, the group came out of the nightclub, most of them unable to walk in a straight line. Even so, several people came out with women in their arms; it was easy to guess what they were going to do. Ji Zhenwei also brought one, the same foreign girl from last time, apparently, she had “served” Ji Zhenwei quite satisfactorily.

    Ji Zhenwei was staying at a hotel, and Ji Yuechi didn’t bother after sending him to his car. Ji Yuechi didn’t bring anyone today. After saying goodbye to the other “bosses” and “Brother X,” he turned around and saw Duan Yunhong also preparing to leave.

    Duan Yunhong was also with someone, a heavily made-up girl hooking his arm. Ji Yuechi was very aware and didn’t bother him, nodding to him as he left. The uncle and nephew didn’t live together, and not even close. Leaving each other some space is the polite thing to do between adults.

    Duan Yunhong was about to drag the girl towards his car. Just as they reached the car, before the girl could actively pull open the back door, the car window suddenly rolled down.

    A handsome face with a touch of radiance appeared, the collar of a loose shirt wide open, an arm draped over the car window: “Director Duan, playing ‘three-way’ today?”

    The girl in the heavy makeup and mini-skirt paused, but didn’t show any surprise or resistance, just looked at Duan Yunhong.

    Duan Yunhong’s gaze swept over the youth’s face and below in the car, smiled meaningfully, then took out his wallet, pulled out three hundred yuan, and handed it to the girl: “You can go.”

    The youth also laughed in the car: “Sister, he doesn’t like women, keep it a secret for our Director Duan.”

    “I know, thank you, boss, may you get rich.” The girl took the money and left without hesitation. Duan Yunhong then opened the car door and got in.

    The black car slowly started and drove into the main road in the night.

    “Didn’t you say you were going to see a late-night movie? What are you doing here?” Duan Yunhong had sat on a white wool coat, pulled it out, and threw it to the person next to him. “And you took off your coat and unbuttoned your shirt, aren’t you cold?”

    “The movie’s over, and it wasn’t far, so I came to bum a ride. But I really didn’t expect you to stay this late; I even dozed off.” Ning Fei put the coat back on. “I just saw Ji Zhenwei with a ‘doll,’ but I didn’t have a camera. Otherwise, I would have taken a photo of him looking very much like he was cheating, and the Ji family would have had something to talk about.”

    Duan Yunhong replied: “He picked that girl twice already; where there are two, there will be three, and there will be more chances to take pictures in the future.”

    Ning Fei asked again: “What about Ji Yuechi? Didn’t he bring one?”

    Duan Yunhong said: “He likes the ones who pretend to be pure, but he doesn’t bring them every time, he brings them less often.”

    Ning Fei nodded: “Oh, a greenhorn.”

    Duan Yunhong thought he had more questions, after all, logically, he should ask about the girl Duan Yunhong had just brought. However, Director Duan had already thought about how to answer, but Ning Fei was silent and turned his head to look at the night view of Shenzhen outside the window, as if nothing had happened just now.

    Duan Yunhong: “…”

    Ning Fei suddenly turned his head again: “Oh, right–”

    Duan Yunhong: Here it comes!

    Ning Fei: “The Lin family called and asked me to go to their house for dinner on the 28th, which is the day after tomorrow. Are you going back to Nancheng that day?”

    Duan Yunhong “…” again.

    Ning Fei didn’t realize their difference in thinking for a moment and assumed he was using silence to indicate denial, so he said: “Still not going back? Then I’ll go back first, find me when you have time.”

    “…Going back. I was originally planning to go back on the 29th at the latest, so I’ll leave the day after tomorrow.” Duan Yunhong suppressed the complex feelings in his heart and finally spoke, “The Lin family never forgets you for any holiday; you’ve become their great benefactor.”

    “Holding Lin Shengjia’s parents hostage is more effective than threatening him directly.” Ning Fei leaned back against the seat, raked his hair, and said happily, “When I came to Shenzhen with you, I assigned homework to his parents, so he can’t get out of it even if he wants to.”

    Duan Yunhong turned his head to look and saw Ning Fei, taking advantage of the warmth in the car, opening his coat again, revealing the loose shirt inside. This posture looked like he had no manners, but Ning Fei made it look lazy and full of charm. Duan Yunhong couldn’t help but remember when he was picking people in the nightclub, there were actually some “young masters.” But those people were either too vulgar or awkwardly restrained, and most of them were effeminate. None of them could be like Ning Fei, handsome, sharp, yet extremely sexy, with a certain charm in every move. And at certain times he was very straightforward and uninhibited, with extremely high “certain skills.”

    If it weren’t for this, there was no way Duan Yunhong would have gone to open a room the first time they met, without even knowing his name.

    And it would be impossible to maintain the relationship until now.

    These messy thoughts flashed through Duan Yunhong’s mind, and he reached out and touched Ning Fei’s collarbone: “Lin Shengjia’s parents must not have imagined that Teacher Ning has this side.”

    Ning Fei grabbed his wrist: “Boss, that one just got paid, touching me is free?”

    Duan Yunhong chuckled meaningfully, pulled out his wallet, and threw it at him.

    “Thank you, boss, may you get rich.” Ning Fei smiled and imitated the girl’s words just now, moved closer to Duan Yunhong, and reached out, “Did I ruin your good time just now, boss? Did you actually want to ‘change your taste’ tonight?”

    “Just pretending for Ji Zhenwei’s sake.” Duan Yunhong wrapped his arms around his waist, his face pressed against his neck. “I’m not so hungry that I’d eat anything in that kind of place.”

    Ning Fei smiled: “Yeah, Director Duan wouldn’t be interested in the ones that only cost a few hundred or a few thousand, it would have to be tens of thousands, to be worthy of you.”

    Duan Yunhong’s fingers rubbed, using a little force: “What I’ve spent on you is more than just tens of thousands.”

    “I didn’t deny it.” Ning Fei also used force. “Not really drunk? Still have the energy?”

    “Tch, Ji Zhenwei can take someone away, and you’re still asking me this kind of question?” Duan Yunhong lowered his voice and slowly replied, “Also, you follow the rules, and I follow the rules.”

    It took Ning Fei two seconds to realize that he was talking about their agreement to be exclusive partners.

    “Hahaha, you’re really something, comparing loyalty with Ji Zhenwei…”

    *

    The two of them made a ruckus until dawn before they quieted down.

    Duan Yunhong, influenced by alcohol and “exhausted” for a long time, simply took a shower and fell asleep. Ning Fei consciously rolled into his arms to get warm and sleep together. However, less than an hour after they fell asleep, Duan Yunhong’s phone rang.

    At first, neither of them moved. The phone kept ringing, and Ning Fei kicked Duan Yunhong and rolled away to cover his head and continue sleeping. Duan Yunhong reached for the phone on the bedside table, and hung up without even looking at it. But before he could put the phone back for a minute, it rang again.

    Duan Yunhong frowned and squinted at the caller ID.

    –It was Ji Zhenwei.

    It was too strange for Ji Zhenwei to call his brother in the middle of the night. Besides, he had gone to the hotel with a woman earlier. Duan Yunhong stared at the name for a while before finally answering the phone.

    He didn’t leave the bed, just lay there talking. At first, he was sleepy and annoyed, and didn’t bother to think, and his replies were very perfunctory. However, after a few sentences, Duan Yunhong gradually woke up. By the time he hung up the phone, he had sat up.

    “…What’s going on?” Ning Fei was also awakened by the talking and turned to face him, asking, “Why do I hear you say you need to find a lawyer? In the middle of the night?”

    Duan Yunhong: “Ji Zhenwei was caught in a crackdown on prostitution.”

    “…Huh?” Ning Fei was completely awake now, his eyes opened wide. “What the hell? Really?”

    “He called me to find a lawyer to bail him out, would that be fake?” Duan Yunhong leaned against the headboard, rubbed his face, his voice still quite hoarse. “Anyway, according to him, the police suddenly kicked down the door and asked about their relationship. He said they were boyfriend and girlfriend at first, but he couldn’t answer anything about the foreign girl except her name, so the police just swept them up. They’re both at the police station now.”

    “How exciting.” Ning Fei sighed, then thought of something. “Did you report him?”

    “I’m not that free.” Duan Yunhong said, “It should be a pure coincidence.”

    “Are you really going to help him find a lawyer to bail him out?” Ning Fei’s hand casually rested on his leg, feeling good, so he pinched it. “Wouldn’t it be nice to let him stay there until the New Year? What a great joke.”

    “The Ji family would be annoyed to death with me.” Duan Yunhong said, “But I’m not going, let Ji Yuechi bail out his old man.”

    Ning Fei gave a thumbs up: “You’re still the most wicked!”
