"Thank you!" Sheng Ning’s left eye blinked lightly, her gaze full of allure, made irresistibly cute by her actions. She had been quite familiar with this person in her past life too, who had adopted a Hong Kong-Taiwan style nickname, "Aqiang," imitating the celebrities from those areas. He was another partner of the dance hall’s owner, a bit of a rogue but still a good person.
Aqiang felt as though he had been electrocuted, staring dumbfounded at Sheng Ning. He still hadn’t recovered even when all the people had drifted away, standing there like a wooden post.
Hidden in the darkness was a tall man wearing sunglasses. Not the trendy toad-style glasses but rather similar to the ones Xu Qigang had worn before.
They were of fine quality, clearly different from the common types found in domestic streets, and would be considered stylish classics even later on.
Ever since Sheng Ning had entered, he had been observing everything around him, and listening to all the sounds. When he saw Sheng Ning’s gesture, his thin lips curved into a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, and a spark lit up in his eyes. Deep down, he didn’t know whether to feel sympathy for his friend or envy.
Ah! Fortunately, the girl he liked was a simple rural girl. If she were like Sheng Ning, with a complex background, too eye-catching, he guessed he would age very quickly.
Chen Huaying distinctly felt that ever since Sheng Ning had entered, she had completely changed, and Huaying couldn’t take her eyes off her. Sheng Ning’s look not only electrified Aqiang, it had shocked her too, until Sheng Ning had dragged her into a corner before she came to her senses.
"Sheng Ning... you... you just now were...?" Chen Huaying stammered, unable to believe that Sheng Ning could also make such a bold move.
"Flirting?" Sheng Ning, a bit caught up in the moment, had unintentionally let slip the demeanor she had when visiting here in her past life.
Back then, she always acted just like that whenever she came here.
"It’s not flirting... it’s frivolous... no, no, no... neither!" Chen Huaying wracked her brain for the right word, but in the end couldn’t find it and simply said, "Anyway, it was completely different from your usual self, like you were a different person. But it was darn good-looking; if I were a man, I would fall for you too."
"Hahaha... Yingzi, you’re really cute!" Sheng Ning ruffled her hair, which Huaying dodged by jumping away.
Treating her like a child! That was too much.
"You’re so good at flattering young girls; if you were a man, I would fall for you too."
"Go away... If I fell for you, Living Yama would kill me!" Chen Huaying pretended to grimace, but she was actually grinning from ear to ear.
"Keep it down!" Sheng Ning made another ’be quiet’ gesture, and Chen Huaying felt her heart almost skip a beat from this casual gesture.
She covered her face, performing an overwhelmed gesture, "Sheng Ning, stop it, I can’t take this anymore, really! Look, that silly boy is still dazed!"
Sheng Ning felt a sinking feeling—she... she had forgotten again!
The atmosphere here was intoxicating, or else why would she always slip into her past self.
"Cough, cough, cough..." She feigned a light cough, put on a serious face, and pointed towards the dance hall’s eastern private room, "Look there! Hai Lan must have gone in with Qin Cuifen, right?"
Chen Huaying looked around and indeed, the two were nowhere to be seen. She had clearly seen them enter, so they must have gone inside.
