Don’t underestimate this rundown bar; it’s not just about gimmicks.
The ice cream in Chu River’s hand is made with real ingredients, smooth in texture, and quite delicious.
The only downside is the price—while the golden arches outside charge twenty or thirty bucks, here it costs 68.
But... since she’s not footing the bill, Chu River is even happier.
She wandered around the bar, her eyes filled with curiosity. However, she didn’t speak; instead, stood there with an outstanding aura.
How should I put it? Her face might not be the most outstanding, but the aura is unmatched.
A group of drinking men and women surrounded the bar, and people in the booth beside them were eyeing those uniforms. The manager sneaked a glance at Chu River’s face—even without makeup, she looked far better under the current lighting.
He thought to himself—good thing she’s in uniform, otherwise if someone tried to flirt with her, and the other party had a bad temper...
Better to avoid an incident.
It’s really hard to run a business these days.
There wasn’t much ice cream, and Chu River accompanied Xiao Zhou and Xiao Wang on a complete tour of the venue, fully exploring this unique bar.
During the spiritual power scan, she even saw a couple hugging at the restroom entrance—
Oh, and a couple of men embracing in a semi-open booth.
However, after making a round and checking a few young faces for IDs, as she saw the ice cream nearing its end, Chu River stayed by the dance floor, not leaving.
Xiao Zhou and Xiao Wang awkwardly stood there too—as long as they weren’t embarrassed, the embarrassment fell on the nearby manager.
They walked around without leaving, with uniforms so obvious; how could anyone let loose after this?
The manager was sweating bullets.
Their bar wasn’t illegal, but who doesn’t have a few new tricks up their sleeve? Forget anything else, just waiting for that upcoming dark 30-second thrilling game, with the police still here, the lighting technician hesitated, unable to act.
Chu River figured it out.
She scraped the cream off the cup: "So? What’s the activity coming up?"
The manager chuckled: "Oh, nothing, nothing, just the lights will go out for 30 seconds next—everyone here is lonely, you know, we need to give people an opportunity to connect and meet."
"Some guests are shy, so we help give them a push."
Xiao Zhou and Xiao Wang struggled to hold back laughter.
Chu River nodded, understanding.
Just like what she had seen in TV shows—that pitch-black 30 seconds, no matter your feelings about the person next to you...
Pretty much that kind of idea. The most update n0vels are published on NoveI[F]ire.net
Just right, what she was about to do, didn’t suit stirring up a commotion in public.
After all, with so many people in the dance floor, if they panicked, a stampede would be bad.
So she instructed the manager: "No worries, not handling boy-girl disputes doesn’t fall under us. Go ahead and turn off the lights, I’d like to see it too."
Xiao Zhou’s hair almost stood on end, Xiao Wang’s eyes widened like copper bells, but Chu River casually handed the empty cream cup to his hand: "Return it to the counter, keep your hands free."
The manager quickly took it with both hands: "I will, I will..."
While watching Chu River was genuinely looking forward to the dance floor, although he couldn’t figure out this newcomer’s temperament, since she still wanted to enjoy ice cream during a patrol, it suggested the inspection would be handled leniently.
—besides, his venue was quite clean.
The manager whispered instructions into his earpiece.
Next moment, the musicians in the middle of the stage already picked up the microphone: "Next, we’ll reach our key segment—"
He aimed the microphone towards the crowd below, already buzzing with enthusiasm—
"Darkness for thirty seconds! If you’ve got guts, don’t run away!"
She silently grumbled, honestly finding it boring.
But the manager was oblivious—tackiness doesn’t matter, as long as it makes money—just like those cheesy tunes still rake in big bucks via ringtone sales.
As the countdown began on stage, the lighting extinguished abruptly on the last number.
The entire dance floor turned dark, including the booth areas on the edges.
Originally, Xiao Zhou and Xiao Wang wanted to seize this rare quiet moment, to speak a few words to Chu River, yet with a turn of their bodies, they could clearly sense the absence of the person beside them—
This Little Chu really went to the middle of the dance floor to play, huh?!
Two male mothers stood dumbfounded!
This was truly... someone else’s girlfriend, they’re worrying like crazy.
Fortunately, 30 seconds passed in an instant, and the two were left with sulking faces, unsure how to maintain the shaky dignity of their narcotics division.
