The 99th Divorce

Before Ye Youyou could decipher from the foreign accent what the foreigner was saying, a commotion passed through the crowd. With a sudden rumble, loud music began playing.

Caught by surprise, Ye Youyou jumped back in shock. With a tremble, she looked to the front in confusion.

Li Jinnan smiled when he saw her reaction. He nudged her forward gently and said, “Come on. Let’s have some fun.”

Before Ye Youyou could react, she found herself pushed unknowingly right into the middle of the crowd. Many men and women were dancing together, gyrating their hips provocatively. The scene struck her dumb.

This bar was indeed different from other bars. The change in style had happened so quickly.

“It’s a restless night, so get moving, Everybody!”

“Yo ho!”

The ear-splitting music and the men and women grinding to the beat created such a different mood compared to when Ye Youyou had just entered.

“Tonight’s game is a little interesting. I believe everyone has heard of ‘Truth or Dare’ before, right?” The foreigner deliberately lowered his voice for dramatic effect, but the effect on his Mandarin accent caused everyone to burst out laughing.

Someone at the bottom of the stage whistled and asked, “Are your measurements that long?”

“Wow, Truth or Dare? Did you pick this because Third Brother came here tonight?”

“Where’s Third Brother? Third Brother! Third Brother! Third Brother…”

What was initially a single man yelling turn to become a full-fledged crowd chant. Li Jinnan was soon surrounded by many people. The observant ones realized Ye Youyou’s presence beside him.

They started asking again, “Has the old tree finally blossomed?”

“This must be your other half! No wonder you haven’t been coming out to play lately!”

“Hello, Third Sister-in-law!”

“Hello, Third Sister-in-law!”

The voices of the crowd got increasingly louder in waves. Ye Youyou’s ears began to go numb. Her awkwardness hit an all-time high when everyone started addressing her Li Jinnan’s missus.

Just as she was about to explain herself, she saw Li Jinnan pick up a microphone and say, “Stop talking nonsense. She was in a bad mood, and so I took her out to relax. Don’t bully her. The relationship we share is not what you think it is.”

“Oh?” the crowd called out together. “If it’s not what we think it is, are you saying you’re already married?”

“Third Brother, what kind of friend are you?”

“Ha! To think I even washed your socks for you when we were in the same platoon! How could you do this to me?”

Li Jinnan didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry and retorted, “Aren’t you guys annoying? I already said that isn’t the case!”

“Yeah, right…”

Ye Youyou was extremely ill at ease. She looked at Li Jinnan and felt very awkward.

“Alright, back to the topic at hand! Since you’re here, your mood won’t stay bad. Come, let’s get moving!”

The scene was sizzling hot, and the music was thumping. The atmosphere was extremely lively.

A girl walked over and pulled Ye Youyou along. “Come on, let’s have fun together! Do you like to sing? Let’s sing together!”

“Why are you asking her to sing? Judging for her gorgeous figure, she has to be a dancer! Come on! Let’s dance together!”

Ye Youyou had initially intended to reject them. When she turned, she saw that they were dressed very decently, unlike the females at other bars who were usually dressed revealingly. She looked around the place and saw that there were many females, all of whom were dressed properly.

The two girls who were pulling Ye Youyou along found her reaction funny and said, “Don’t worry. This isn’t some indecent place. Even if you don’t trust us, you’d at least trust Third Brother, wouldn’t you?”
