"Where are you guys?" Fatty walked near the dance floor. He wasn't a fan of this chaotic scene, and was just focused on fiddling with his phone.

Suddenly, a hand patted Fatty's right shoulder. Fatty turned around, and in the next second, his eyes went wide. Standing before him was a girl of short stature, wearing a white dress, with an exceptionally charming appearance.

The girl's skin was particularly fair, the kind that would glow even in a crowd.

Fatty blankly picked up his phone, comparing the avatar to the adorable girl in front of him. His heart was pounding with excitement. In this day and age, there were so few girls who used unedited photos as their avatars; seeing one was rarer than seeing a ghost.

The girl blinked and gave him a playful smile. "Are you Yu Shu Lin Feng Lin Tian Xia?" (Handsome and elegant as a tree in the wind, overlooking the world)

Fatty swallowed and couldn't help but nod. "Yes, that's me." That was his name on social media. What man didn't dream of ruling the world?

"Wow, you look much more..." The girl sized him up, paused, and then suddenly laughed, "Cuter than in the photos."

"Really?" Fatty was a little embarrassed.

"Mhm, mhm."

Fatty racked his brain, recalling the girl-chasing manual that Li Jia had taught him. That guy claimed to be a veteran of the nightlife scene, who only acted when he was sure of victory. "That..." Fatty licked his lips subconsciously. "Nice to meet you for the first time. Let me introduce myself. I'm Wei Xianyuan, a top student at Rongcheng University of Science and Technology, a sophomore this year. Oh, and I'm also the vice-president of the student union."

The girl seemed very interested in Fatty as a person. The two chatted well, completely dispelling Fatty's initial worries about an awkward silence. Fatty even noticed the girl secretly biting her lip, making the atmosphere become rather ambiguous.

Seeing that things were progressing well, and mainly because the music was too loud, Fatty suggested they chat somewhere else. "How about I buy you a drink? We can... hehe, we can go outside."

Without realizing it, Fatty couldn't help but chuckle. Fortunately, the girl didn't seem to mind. It seemed she was interested in him as a person, rather than anything material.

*This is a very considerate, and easily fooled girl,* Fatty concluded in his mind.

"Your phone is so pretty." The girl looked at the phone in Fatty's hand, a hint of desire in her eyes.

At this moment, Fatty was completely captivated by the girl. He stared intently at her exposed shoulder and casually replied, "It's nothing. If you like it, I'll buy you one tomorrow as a gift."

The girl's lips curled up, but she didn't reply.

"By the way, where's... where's your sister?" Fatty asked. "Wouldn't she be worried about you coming out alone? You should bring her along."

The girl led the way, smiling faintly. "My sister isn't available to meet you right now, but she told me that she really likes people like you, really likes your appearance, so... you'll meet."

Fatty didn't think too much about it. They ran into a waiter on the way, and Fatty generously ordered some wine, then instructed the waiter to deliver the wine to his specified location, saying it was a gift for his friend.

He didn't forget to get some good wine for himself, to keep up appearances. After all, the beauty before him tonight was too tempting, and his heart was pounding fiercely.

Just as he was thinking about where to find a quiet place to be alone with the beauty before him, the waiter approached and suggested with a smile, "There are a few small private rooms available. If you need one..."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Fatty gave the waiter a "you're so understanding" look, then flashed a friendly smile at the beauty. "How about we chat and drink in a private room? It's too noisy here."

"Okay," the beauty said understandingly, then raised her phone. "But I need to ask my sister for permission first."

Fatty found the girl even more adorable.

After fiddling with her phone for a short while, the girl smiled happily, then raised her small head and said to Fatty, "My sister says you're a good person and she likes you very much, so she agrees to let me go out and play."

Fatty had heard the girl say similar things several times. He couldn't help but ask, "How does your sister know I'm a good person? She hasn't even met me."

The girl laughed even more joyfully. "Of course my sister has seen you. In this bar, there's nothing my sister doesn't know. Look, this is a photo my sister sent."

With that, the girl showed Fatty her phone. On the screen was a photo. Fatty narrowed his eyes and saw that the photo was blurry, but he could still vaguely make out the profile of a fat man, craning his neck and staring at a girl's phone.

That fat man was him!

A strange feeling arose in Wei Fatty's heart. He immediately turned around and looked in the direction from which the photo was taken, but there was only a crowd of people, and no one was looking at him.

*Is everyone just drinking and partying like crazy, writhing to the rhythm, even if their dance moves look so weird, like a wriggling mass of corpses?*

Fatty himself was startled by the thought. "Beauty," he swallowed, "Where... where is your sister? Is she following us the whole time?"

"My sister was just dumped by a scumbag, so maybe she's worried about me running into one too," the girl's gentle face made Wei Fatty's heart itch. And what the girl said made sense. As long as he behaved well, he might even be able to win over the sister tonight, let alone the younger sister.

"Sir." The waiter glanced at his phone and raised his head at the appropriate time, saying, "There's only one private room left. Do you want me to hold it for you, or..."

Fatty took a deep breath, his emotions gradually calming down. "Of course you should hold it for me. You, lead the way."

The waiter smiled slightly, not replying immediately, but instead, taking advantage of Fatty's inattention, his pupils looked strangely at the girl. The girl lowered her head slightly, and the half of her face that was visible seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

"Hehe." The waiter retracted his gaze, and his face was filled with a strange smile as he looked at Fatty. "No, sir, I have other guests to attend to. Why don't you let this beauty accompany you?"

Thinking that an extra waiter would be a nuisance, Fatty agreed. The waiter pointed them in the direction, and the beauty happily took Fatty's arm and left.

Fatty was blinded by the happiness before him. He didn't notice, and wouldn't notice, that as soon as he left, the shadow of the waiter left on the ground changed. The arm that pointed the way fell off the body.

Contrary to what Fatty had initially thought, the small private rooms in this bar were located in the main hall where they were, separated only by a thin door. Moreover, the girl didn't seem to be here for the first time, as her movements in opening the door were quite skilled.

After entering, the two sat down. Two glasses had already been set out on the table, and the bright red liquid inside the glasses swayed slightly, like a cup of freshly filled blood.
