Of course, whether Ren Yuanhao was poisoned or not could be put aside, but the substantial orders finally arrived as he had eagerly anticipated.
"Didi, here, I've found the order you wanted. It's your turn to shine now."
Ren Yuanhao felt a hint of teasing in the system's voice. He pursed his lips and asked, "System, this order shouldn't be too bizarre, right?"
"How could it be? It's not. Just look at the host's requirements."
Ren Yuanhao clicked on the host's requirements. On the boyfriend requirements page, it clearly stated: tall and handsome, lean when clothed, muscular when undressed, with a smile that could kill, fair and clean skin, and preferably with a creamy scent.
"Holy crap? This sounds like a puppy dog boyfriend."
Ren Yuanhao pondered in silence, but the system urged him on.
"Host, the nightlife has begun. Don't keep the employer waiting."
...
Meanwhile, far away in the Yun Jin City Hot Spring Resort area, it was already a scene of dazzling lights and intoxicating pleasures. As autumn arrived, the hot spring business began to slowly enter its off-season, but this area was more than just hot springs.
Tall buildings lined both sides of the street. The windows, glowing with neon lights, looked like colorful, almost unreal paper pasted onto the square, blue-gray structures.
Some bars, rock clubs, water bars, and foot massage parlors were already packed.
After all, young people today faced a lot of pressure. The ways to relieve stress had evolved from drinking in the past to gradually incorporating coffee, foot massages, and karaoke. Of course, this also gave rise to the more bizarre phenomenon of "corpse picking."
However, this street, bathed in dazzling lights and filled with the scent of youthful hormones, wasn't solely populated by young people. For instance, in a bar called "Autobot Bar," with empty wine bottles stacked to form a blue-glowing exterior, a table of women over 40 was seated.
These women were dressed provocatively and wore heavy makeup. From a distance, they appeared to be in their early thirties, but up close, the crow's feet and lip lines around their eyes couldn't hide their true ages.
They occupied a long table in a corner, separated from the younger patrons with lower spending power by a large red screen. Inside, the clinking of wine bottles and glasses filled the air.
"Come on, drink. Finish these, and the money is yours."
A plump woman with heavy makeup slammed a wad of cash onto the table, her arm around a young man in his early twenties. She then brought a wine glass filled with amber liquid to the young man's lips.
"Forget it, he can't drink that much. Don't be so excessive."
The woman speaking sat alone on a large red sofa, her face flushed. Despite being in a place of revelry, she possessed a noble temperament that set her apart from the crowd.
"Mrs. Bai, look at you. Your old sisters finally got together. You should at least let a young man accompany you for a drink. What's the point of drinking alone?"
The plump woman successfully poured the wine into the mouth of the escorts she had hired. She continuously stuffed large sums of cash into the young man's pockets. The other escorts were envious, but the plump woman was quite principled and seemed extremely fond of the young man she was with. Every time she hired him, she made a considerable profit.
At this moment, Mrs. Bai, uncharacteristically, took out her phone, seemingly expecting something. Her eyes occasionally flickered towards the area outside the screen, as if waiting for someone.
However, Mrs. Bai's noble elegance was also evident in this detail. Even while waiting, she didn't show any signs of displeasure, continuing to happily drink with her sisters.
"Mrs. Bai, are you waiting for someone? Could it be you've found a new lover so quickly?"
A tall woman in a white vest raised her wine glass and, with a gossipy heart, leaned towards Mrs. Bai.
"So quickly? Although we only just got the divorce certificate, we've been separated for three years. That's not a short time, is it?"
The woman in white added, "Hearing you say that, is it an admission?"
Mrs. Bai neither shook her head nor nodded. After all, it was the first time she was meeting a 'temporary boyfriend' in such a peculiar way. With that thought, she picked up her phone again, repeatedly looking at a text message. Just then, while she was somewhat distracted, the woman in white snatched the phone away.
A strong smell of alcohol permeated the air. In the dim, ambiguous light, these older women crowded closer.
"Oh, Mrs. Bai, what era are we in? Internet scams are everywhere. How can you still believe in unreliable things like 'Didi Matchmaking'?" The plump woman pointed to the fair-skinned, high-quality young men beside her and said, "Look, these men have the looks and the bodies. Why are you putting yourself through this?"
"Exactly, 'Didi Matchmaking'? Customized boyfriends? Such things might fool young girls, but Mrs. Bai, you were once a formidable business magnate!" the woman in white giggled.
"Right, right, right. Putting your hopes on such a boring app is worse than looking at these 'blooming flowers.' Don't be fooled by how professional these apps look now. Who knows what kind of bizarre boyfriend they'll pair you with. Never mind the price, just the looks and the physique alone, tsk tsk, you'll probably feel nauseous, and that would be such a damper!"
As they were speaking, a very gentlemanly knocking sound came from outside the screen. Everyone peered out and saw a well-built, handsome man around 1.8 meters tall flash a very gentlemanly smile at the group of older women.
"Holy crap, they really are old women! System, what's your bottom line?"
Ren Yuanhao's mind was racing, but as a gentleman, he couldn't show too much disappointment or surprise. His face displayed a smile so radiant it could blacken the faces of these older women.
"Did we order any other service?" the woman in white asked, stunned for two seconds. Then, with excitement, she pulled Ren Yuanhao over. "Even though we didn't order service, we won't let a man with such a sunny disposition go."
"Holy crap? Service? You old ladies are really wild!"
Ren Yuanhao coughed, maintaining his composure. He adjusted his collar and said calmly, "Excuse me, I don't serve tea or water, nor do I provide special services. I only initiate, I don't clean up. Please be respectful. My woman is watching."
His gaze seemed to gather the vastness of the starry sky. As it swept over everyone, it gave them an indescribable depth and dreaminess. His gaze finally settled on Mrs. Bai.
"My goodness, you're the customized boyfriend sent by Didi Matchmaking? Your quality is too high!"
The woman in white, filled with longing, still held Ren Yuanhao's hand, refusing to let go.
Ren Yuanhao thought that since they already knew, he might as well admit it. His eyes darted around, and unknowingly, such a look was like Cupid's arrow, striking Mrs. Bai deeply.
