“Yes, Foot Bath City. Brother-in-law, you have no problem giving me a treat, right?”

“Treating you is not a problem at all. I should… But…” Looking at the two words “Foot” and “Bath” glittering on the big plaque, the bearded man hesitated. “It’s not that appropriate to be having fun here, is it?” he said.

“It’s just a foot massage. What’s wrong with that?” Chen Yu went over to the other side of the car where the passenger seat was and dragged the bearded man out of the car, ignoring his protests. “I’ve always wanted to go, but it’s too expensive. Brother-in-law, since you’re rich enough, you can take me out and open my eyes to the outside world.”

“But…”

“Be the man. Let’s just not think too much and have fun to our hearts’ content!”

Closing the door, Chen Yu led the bearded man into Foot Bath City. In his previous life, because of work, he frequently visited this place.

“Welcome.” Entering through the door, one could see a red carpet right in the middle on the ground. On the right and left of the door, on either side of the carpet, more than ten beauties in Cheongsams were bowing neatly.

“Welcome to Clearwater Entertainment Hub.” A man in a suit, who seemed to be the manager, approached them and said respectfully to the bearded man, “How many of you are there, Sir? What activity are you interested in?”

“I…” the bearded man started.

Chen Yu picked up where the bearded man left off and said, “First, we’ll go to the third floor for a short karaoke session. Then, we’ll have the full massage package. Last but not least, we’ll have dinner. Just the two of us.”

“Alright.” The manager immediately shifted his focus to Chen Yu and said, “Sir, how may I address you? Are you a member of our entertainment hub?”

“You can call me Brother Yu.” Chen Yu waved his hand while walking inside and said, “Find us some pretty babes. At this time of day, the good-looking ladies are all around. Don’t hide them. Bring them all over.”

“Understood! Rest assured I will, Brother Yu.” The manager smiled even more happily and helped them press the elevator buttons. Then he asked, “Can I get you both any drinks?”

“Don’t bring us those fanciful, gaudy red wines that are who knows how many years old. I heard that you have some special offerings in your wine cellar in basement two. Bring us a few bottles. Oh right, you guys serve some pretty decent white jade sea cucumber sashimi. Bring us two plates of that, and send a fruit platter to our room as well.”

“Got it!”

“Let’s have four plates instead. The young ladies will need some food too.”

“Understood! I’ll go notify the kitchen.”

Together, they took the elevator up to the third floor, and then the manager led both Chen Yu and the bearded man into a luxurious cabin. Then, he went out to gather the girls.

Chen Yu sat down on a soft sofa so naturally that it seemed like he had long been accustomed to doing this. He unscrewed the cap off a bottle of high-end cocktail and poured two glasses of it. Then he said, “Brother-in-law, try this. It’s quite good with a fruity flavor.”

“You…” The bearded man hesitantly took the glass and asked, “Do you come often?”

“No.” Chen Yu took a light sip and swallowed before replying, “In this lifetime, it’s my first visit here.”

‘I’d be a fool to believe you!’

The bearded man had an exasperated expression on his face, reflecting the helplessness he was feeling.

“Sit. There’s no need to stand on ceremony.”

“Okay…”

“The pretty ladies will take a while. There’s no rush at all. We can just chat in the meantime.” Chen Yu grabbed a handful of dried food and asked while eating, “How did you get to know my sister?”

“Your sister works in my factory.”

“Oh! So you’re my sister’s boss! I see. Eh? But I thought the boss of her factory was a mean old man, no?”

“That’s my father…”

“Ah, I see.” Nodding, Chen Yu pointed to the cocktail and asked, “Why aren’t you drinking it?”

“I have to drive.”

“Drive what? We’ll just have some fun, and tonight we’ll hire a driver to take us home.”

“This isn’t good…”

“Brother-in-law, listen to Brother Yu. There’s nothing bad about this!” Chen Yu patted the bearded man on the shoulder and said, “I’m about to sit for the college entrance examination, right? You have to know how to relax and unwind. Brother-in-law, after you get married, it won’t be so convenient for you if you want to head out for some fun. Besides, we’re just singing songs and flirting around. We’re not actually doing ‘that thing,’ so there’s nothing to feel shy about.”

The bearded man: “…” (speechless)

While they were talking, the manager had already brought a group of pretty ladies with him into the room.

The manager started the introductions. “This is Brother Yu.”

“Hello, Brother Yu.” The girls bowed gently and greeted Chen Yu in their pleasant, melodious voices.

“This is…” The manager then looked at the bearded man again.

Chen Yu raised his voice and said, “Call him brother-in-law.”

The ladies all spoke in unison, “Hello, brother-in-law.”

The bearded man: “…” (speechless)

“All of you, stand properly and let our two brothers here have a good look at you.”

The girls were very familiar with the way things worked and stood in a row. Under the illumination of the lights inside the cabin, their teary eyes looked so seductive because they were just so bright and glistening.

Chen Yu took a sip of cocktail and leaned back against the sofa as his eyes swept across the line of girls. He reached out and pointed, calling out, “You, you, you-you, and her.”

The manager nodded and said, “The rest of you can leave now.”

“No.” Chen Yu waved and said, “The few that I pointed out can leave. The rest can all come over.”

“Oh, oh.” Realization dawned on the manager. “Ok, the few of you can leave…”

“Brother-in-law, where’s your card?” Chen Yu turned his head to look at the bearded man.

“It’s here…”

“Alright.” Taking the credit card, Chen Yu, who seemed very familiar with the place and what should be done, passed it to the manager and said, “Serve us the drinks and fruit platter.”

“Got it. Brother Yu, take your time and enjoy yourself.” The manager was secretly praising Chen Yu for knowing the rules. He took the card and took his leave very courteously.

“Dear little sisters.” Chen Yu took the microphone and said, “Those who can’t sing well shall not sing. Those who can dance well shall select their songs in advance. No one is allowed to use their phone. And we’re definitely going to tip you all generously.”

“Thank you, Brother Yu.”

“What’s there to thank? Come here quickly.”

The pretty young ladies instantly flocked over to him and sat around the sofa.

Music started playing.

The atmosphere in the cabin gradually warmed up.

Chen Yu had his left hand around a girl with wavy curls and his right around another with straight black hair. Amidst the rumbling music, he shouted to the bearded man, “Brother-in-law, relax! Which babe do you like? Pick your own. You have to take the initiative, understand? Is it because I’m here that you can’t loosen up?”

“…” With a sigh, the bearded man raised his hand and found a few that looked pleasing to him.

“My brother-in-law is a little shy. You all have to work hand-in-hand with one another, understand? If you do a good job keeping him company, your tip will be doubled.”

“Got it, Brother Yu.”

“Don’t worry, Brother Yu. We’re professionals.”

“Your beard is so sexy…”

Seeing how the bearded man was drowned out of sight by a sea of babes, Chen Yu was very satisfied and took a selfie…

Time went by as song after song played.

They clinked glasses, proposing toast after toast to each other. After downing a few glasses of wine, the bearded man opened up, embraced one woman on each side, left and right, and saw to it that the microphone never left his hands. He was in very high spirits.

Chen Yu had pushed away all the girls and sat in a corner where he drank in silence.

The thing was, he was under a [curse], so no matter how much he drank, he still wouldn’t get drunk.

“Brother Yu, are you unhappy?” A girl came up close to Chen Yu, held his arm, and rubbed herself against him.

“His singing is simply terrible.” Chen Yu downed every single drop of alcohol in his glass and fretted, “I’m close to losing it.”

“How about…” The girl batted her eyelids and said, “We get another smaller, private room just for the two of us? Have some fun❤~”

“Is it safe?”

“Don’t you worry about it.”

“All right then.” Nodding, Chen Yu got up, wrapped his arm around the girl, and walked over to the bearded man. When he was by the other man’s side, he said loudly, “Brother-in-law, the two of us are going next door. You know what I mean.”

The bearded man raised a glass of wine, and with a wicked smile on his face, he said, “Yes, I get it. Go ahead. The rest of these babes are all mine.”

“OK.”

Walking out of the cabin, Chen Yu took out his phone, raised it high for a selfie, and said, “Hey, babe. Come closer.”

“Like this?”

“Closer, more intimate.”

“How about this?”

“Very good.”

“Click…”

After taking one photo, Chen Yu sent it along with the photo he’d taken earlier on and directly posted them to his circle of friends.
