Chapter 18：Wine and tofu

When the two big guys finished taking a bath and put on their pajamas to go upstairs, the girls were still dawdling.

"Let's go, Han. I'll treat you to a massage!"

Han Luzhou hunched his shoulders and shook his head like a quail, looking really timid.

"Damn it! What are you thinking? It's a legitimate massage!"

Alex dragged Han Luzhou up another floor and ordered two masseuses in the guest room.

"I want strong-handed and highly skilled masseuses. You got what I mean, right?"

Alex deliberately instructed the young waiter, putting the waiter in a rather difficult situation.

"Sir, if you don't know the specific numbers, then it'll be whoever is available. If you're not satisfied, you can change later. We really don't have the right to arrange it for you. There are rules, you know..."

"How much is the most expensive full set of massage?" Alex interrupted.

"298 yuan."

"That's about 300 yuan, right? Here, give me your phone. I'll transfer 1,000 yuan to you. Go downstairs and pay the bill for our massages. The rest will be your tip. Can you arrange it now?"

"Yes, yes!" The waiter nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "Don't worry, sir. I'll definitely pick two of the best masseuses for you!"

Adding on WeChat, making the transfer, receiving the money, and then deleting the contact, all done in one go.

Alex raised an eyebrow at the dumbfounded Han Luzhou. "Han, lie down and get ready to enjoy!"

Before long, the waiter came back happily and put down two bottles of Red Bull.

"Sir, the bill has been settled. These two bottles of Red Bull are a personal gift from me to you two.

If you need anything, just ring the bell. I'll be at your service anytime!"

Han Luzhou gave a thumbs-up in admiration. "You rich guys really know how to have fun..."

The two masseuses soon arrived. They weren't good-looking, but their walking posture was extraordinary, as if they had the demeanor of a grand master.

They first pushed along the meridians. After the muscles were loosened, they started the Thai massage.

They stretched, pulled, twisted, pressed, and kicked, making the two young men howl in pain.

During this time, Han Luzhou's phone rang. It was Wang Xue calling. Once the call was connected, the howls of the two men were heard on the other end.

Soon, the five girls came upstairs in a huff and then crouched at the door of the guest room, laughing so hard that they could barely stand up.

"Two... two stupid dogs!"

Angry, Alex called the waiter. "Close the door and drive them away!"

The girls didn't need to be driven away. They helped each other and went downstairs. They were afraid they'd die of laughter if they stayed any longer.

Although it hurt during the massage, it felt really good afterwards.

Alex had been running around under the scorching sun for a week. After today's soak and massage, he felt extremely comfortable.

Walking with a limp downstairs, when Alex found the girls in the sauna room, he was still bickering with Han Luzhou.

"You're a professional dancer. It's just stretching your muscles. Why are you yelling?"

Han Luzhou was quite aggrieved. "Stretching muscles doesn't hurt me, but pushing along the meridians does!

After years of dancing practice, who doesn't have some muscle strains and hidden injuries?"

"You're not ashamed at all. If you want to yell, just yell freely. Hmm... ah... oh... What kind of look did the masseuse give you?!"

The girls were laughing and pounding on the table again.

Lu Yuanyuan, panting, teased Lucy. "Why is your Alex so funny? Were you attracted by his funniness?"

She deliberately emphasized the word "funniness", which made Lucy freeze.

Reyina Wu accidentally came to her rescue. "Alex, how did you yell?"

Alex stuck out his neck and yelled out loud:

"AAAAAAH! Damn it!"

"Oh my god! It hurts! It hurts!"

Lucy and the others immediately fell on the floor laughing and couldn't get up at all.

It wasn't until Alex and Han Luzhou sat down and ate two rounds of fruits that the girls managed to get up, their faces flushed red.

Everyone was wearing sauna suits, a bit disheveled. Han Luzhou only dared to look at his girlfriend, while Alex had no such scruples.

He looked at each of them one by one, feasting his eyes.

Damn it!

Alex suddenly felt his blood rush up...

Well, it just means he was a bit worked up and almost had a nosebleed. Don't get me wrong.

If it were any other guy looking at them furtively like that, he'd probably be beaten up by these girls.

But Alex looked openly, and all he got were a few white eyes. Nobody was really angry. Reyina Wu even raised her chin proudly.

Then they started playing poker and chatting.

There were quite a few people, so Wang Xue dragged Han Luzhou to the side to be affectionate, leaving Alex to accompany the four girls.

Bring it on! Who's afraid of whom!

However, not long after that, Alex couldn't handle it anymore.

There were four beautiful girls. Even Lu Yuanyuan, the least good-looking among them, could score 80 points. They were freshly washed, smelling nice and looking tender, sitting right within reach.

Who could stand that?

Alex was so dizzy that soon his face was covered with pieces of paper.

It wasn't until Lin Weiwei started answering phone calls and receiving WeChat messages frequently and had to leave, making the place a bit more spacious, that the situation got a bit better.

Alex rubbed his fists and chuckled wickedly, fully displaying the vengeful spirit of a straight single guy. Soon, he also covered their faces with pieces of paper.

When Wang Xue and Han Luzhou came back after being affectionate enough, their gazes became a bit strange. "Alex, now I believe you've never been in a relationship before..."

The girls all laughed. Lucy was also quite happy. Nobody thought it was a bad thing.

When dealing with ordinary girls with looks scoring 60 or 70 points, you should praise them to satisfy their vanity.

When dealing with goddesses with looks scoring 80 or 90 points, you should bring them down to earth and treat them as ordinary people.

Because there are too many people who praise them. If you keep praising them, they'll get too full of themselves. Only by bringing them down can they experience something new.

Alex is rich, has an aura, and a sense of humor. In their eyes, he is a high-quality man, not a little brother who just freeloads.

His level is obviously different. He can play with them seriously, sometimes letting them win, sometimes teasing them, and sometimes being teased back. How down-to-earth and interesting!

If it were a timid guy, he'd probably become a servant who just serves tea and water.

If it were a rich second-generation who acts arrogantly just because he's rich, the party would probably end soon. Who doesn't have a bit of pride?

Only someone like Alex, who is neither humble nor arrogant and not dull, can make the gaming experience interesting.

After having lunch and playing for a few hours, everyone completely accepted Alex. They were having fun together like old classmates.

When Lin Weiwei came back, it happened to be when Reyina Wu was about to have pieces of paper stuck on her face.

Alex laughed out loud, took off the piece of paper on his lip, and was about to stick it on Reyina Wu's face.

Reyina Wu screamed and kicked her legs. "Use tea! Alex, I'm sorry. Let me go, big brother!"

But she was held by Lu Yuanyuan and Wang Xue, who excitedly urged:

"Stick it on her! Stick it on her!"

Alex didn't hesitate at all. He slapped it on her forehead and carefully smoothed out the edges to make sure it was firmly stuck.

Reyina Wu kicked for a long time but still couldn't get away. She lay on the floor, looking at Alex with a sideways glance - the piece of paper blocked half of her eye, so she could only look at people sideways.

"Alex, do you know we've become enemies now?"

Alex didn't say anything. He calmly hooked his index finger at her.

Come on! Bring it on!

The girls burst into laughter again.

Reyina Wu jumped up, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to run towards Lucy...

Lucy was stunned. Why are you coming after me when he bullied you?

At the critical moment, Lin Weiwei stood up to calm everyone down.

"Hey, girls and guys, stop messing around. We need to change places! Hurry up, go change clothes and do your makeup!"

Damn, that's a really strange way of addressing.

But nobody cared. They threw away the playing cards and cheered:

"Oh yeah! Finally, we can drink alcohol!"

Alex had actually been looking forward to that drink for a long time. One reason was that he wanted to see if there would be a critical hit.

Another reason...

Drinking alcohol is so much fun. There's a saying about what happens after drinking...

Wine and tofu, the more you drink, the more you have!
