Chapter 807: Chapter 792 Pure Young Boy
“Do I look like that kind of person with my pure and innocent demeanor?”
Su Xuan had a pure, youthful aura, to which Gu Xiyin nodded and then said,
“Alright, you’ve got me there.”
Su Xuan said weakly, while Akihime couldn’t help but chuckle, and then she said,
“You know, there really are interesting things in this business district. There’s an area that isn’t open to foreigners, and even our own people have limited access to it.”
Akihime said with a smile.
“Huh, what is that? Sounds mysterious.”
Su Xuan asked casually, but was highly attentive inside. This should be the marked area of importance, but what could it possibly be, and why was it established inside this shopping center?
“Actually, there’s nothing too mysterious. I’ve been there, and it’s a zoo!”
Akihime said lightly, and Su Xuan was taken aback, thinking, a zoo inside a business district? Are they out of their minds?
“Oh, what kind of animals are there? Fun ones?”
Su Xuan asked nonchalantly, as if it weren’t that important, while Akihime pouted and said,
“It’s totally a rip-off. Didn’t feel any different, just a scam. It wasn’t fun at all. I don’t even know what we went to see, and why it’s so exclusive to get in.”
Akihime pouted as she spoke, looking quite angry.
“It’s that exclusive? Do you need tickets as well?”
Su Xuan remained calm, speaking as if he were uninterested, but was actually surprised inside, thinking this must be some kind of experiment base.
“Yes, to get in, you not only have to be a local but also be a college graduate. And that’s just the qualification. To enter, it costs tens of thousands per ticket, which is ridiculous.”
Akihime wasn’t aware that Su Xuan was subtly extracting information. They had signed a confidentiality agreement when they left, but somehow she ended up blabbing to Su Xuan in her confusion.
After Su Xuan heard all this, he was also astonished. Su Xuan wasn’t just anybody; he could connect the dots well. Although Ming Yue hadn’t said much, Su Xuan could infer quite a bit, and this was no simple matter.
When he learned about the local and college graduate requirement, Su Xuan considered the possibility of it being related to the War God project. However, he still couldn’t understand why they chose this location and its underlying mystery.
“That’s not right. We came in from the entrance. If I remember correctly, we walked around the entire business street, but didn’t see a zoo.”
Su Xuan was intrigued. This so-called zoo wasn’t simple at all as he had completely missed it.
“It’s underground, beneath the shopping center, that’s where it is…”
Akihime quickly stopped talking because she realized she might have said too much, and Su Xuan noticed this and quickly changed the subject.
“Let’s go eat. I heard the steamed dishes from Japan are delicious. I’m starving!”
Su Xuan rubbed his stomach, looking very hungry. When they arrived at a steamed dish restaurant outside the business district, a man in the kitchen at the back watched Su Xuan with a trace of anger in his eyes and softly said,
“Kid, cross me and you won’t have a good day! If I don’t make you regret it, I’ll take that as a personal failure!”
This person was none other than Kim Jae-eun. How could he just let Su Xuan go after getting ripped off to the tune of sixty thousand at the hotel? This already made Kim Jae-eun so angry he almost spat blood.
What’s more, his girlfriend now had a psychological shadow just because of Su Xuan being so aggressive, affecting even their intimate moments with the fear that something might literally pop under pressure.
Seeing Su Xuan hanging out with the beautiful Akihime was a real blow to the Young Master of Lotte. He had pursued Akihime too, but she hadn’t even had a meal with him. Now seeing Su Xuan holding hands with the woman of his dreams ignited his fury, swearing vengeance on Su Xuan.
At this moment, the Young Master of Lotte took out a packet of white powder. This was an aphrodisiac, much more potent than regular ones; even an elephant would be overwhelmed by consuming it.
He had bribed the head chef at the restaurant to add the powder to the steamed fish dish. Kim Jae-eun, the Young Master of Lotte, planned to seize this opportunity to seduce and conquer Akihime.
When everything was ready, Young Master Kim Jae-eun joined the main hall, not only preparing to embarrass Su Xuan in front of everyone but also with the intention of winning Akihime, which was his ultimate goal.
Su Xuan and Akihime were sitting in a corner of the main hall, sipping sake.
“Su Xuan, do you think Japanese sake is better, or is your Huaxia’s baijiu better?”
Akihime asked with a smile.
“Well, it’s personal preference. I prefer baijiu. That fiery feeling burning your throat, as the intoxication rises instantly clearing your worries—it makes sense why they say drinking can wash away a thousand sorrows. But sake is too mild; after drinking for ages, it seems flavorless!”
Su Xuan smacked his lips in a rather disappointed manner.
“Haha, but don’t you Huaxia people say that drinking to drown your sorrows only leads to more sorrow?”
Akihime seemed quite knowledgeable about Huaxia culture, remarkably quoting such a saying.
“Haha, it depends on how you drink. There’s also the saying, ‘Drink today, live for today,’ right?”
Su Xuan laughed lightly, poured another glass of sake, and downed it, also adding,
“Good stuff, good stuff!”
“Uh, didn’t you just say the sake’s tasteless? How can you call it good?”
Akihime asked with curiosity, often finding it hard to keep up with Su Xuan’s quick-thinking jumps in conversations.
“Haha, that’s because there’s another saying in Huaxia: ‘It’s not the wine that gets people drunk, but the drinker themselves.’ Although sake is tasteless, the beauty in front of me is intoxicating enough.” Please enter the main text.
