Chapter 369: Chapter 228: You’re Not Thinking of Sleeping in the Middle, Are You?

Chen Cheng was pulled by Su Liya and they dashed to the roadside, hailed a taxi and headed straight for the nightclub district.

Chen Cheng had already dialed Chen Donghai’s cell phone, and as soon as the call connected, he said, “Pick me up in an hour. I’ll send you the location later.”

Su Liya pouted, “Does the time on the road also count?”

Chen Cheng smiled, “From the moment we step out of the door.”

“Ah?”

Su Liya’s face was one of disbelief, pouting so much that she could hang an oil bottle from it.

She huffily folded her arms and turned her head away, refusing to look at Chen Cheng.

Seeing her like this, Chen Cheng couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Hearing the laughter, Su Liya realized that Chen Cheng was teasing her.

She turned her head back and playfully hit Chen Cheng’s arm, “Uncle, you’re so annoying!”

“Alright, alright.”

Chen Cheng ruffled her hair, “No drinking later, be obedient, and don’t squeeze into crowded places.”

“Got it~”

Su Liya happily linked her arm with Chen Cheng’s, looked at his profile, and smiled, “Uncle, are you unhappy?”

“It’s alright.”

“Then why don’t you smile?”

Chen Cheng sighed, “Not everyone is as carefree as you.”

Su Liya used her hands to turn the corners of Chen Cheng’s mouth up, smiling, “That’s more like it! Don’t look so gloomy all day, it makes you look old and tired.”

“Do I look very old?”

Su Liya seriously sized him up, “Hmm…a bit, maybe. But it’s okay, you’re good-looking, a bit of age adds charm!”

Chen Cheng was caught off guard by Su Liya’s sudden comment and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “You, sometimes you really remind me of Shulin.”

With a sweet smile, Su Liya again snuggled Chen Cheng’s arm and leaned on his shoulder.

The taxi quickly arrived at the nightclub district, and Su Liya excitedly pulled Chen Cheng into the “VIBE” club.

Deafening music, colorful lights, and a crowd of people wildly dancing…

All of this felt like a familiar scene that Su Liya had not experienced for a long time.

They didn’t go to a private booth but headed to the bar, where Su Liya snapped her fingers with flair.

“I’ll have a glass of milk.” After ordering, she looked at Chen Cheng, “Baby, what will you have?”

Chen Cheng sat on a high stool, “Just water is fine.”

“Okay!”

Su Liya took the milk from the bartender, shook it like a pro, then took a little sip, and winked at Chen Cheng, “How’s that, well-behaved, right?”

Chen Cheng nodded with a smile, “Very good.”

“Is there a reward then?” Su Liya tilted her head, looking at him with expectation.

Chen Cheng thought for a bit, “What reward do you want?”

“Hmm…” Su Liya pretended to ponder, then her eyes lit up, pointing to the dance floor, “Dance with me!”

Chen Cheng: “You said I’m old, I can’t jump around anymore.”

“Not old, not old, baby is still young!” Su Liya tugged at his hand, “Please~ just jump for a little while.”

Chen Cheng chuckled, and with Su Liya cheering, she dragged him into the dance floor.

The dance floor was packed, lights flashing, music blasting.

But to Su Liya, this was like being back on home ground, she danced freely to the rhythm of the music, bursting with energy.

Her outstanding looks and figure instantly made her the center of attention.

Of course, there was another important reason.

That is, the fiery Li Ya, from the moment she entered the dance floor, had her arms around the neck of Chen Cheng, who was dressed in a shirt.

The two pressed closely together, swaying to the rhythm of the music.

The contrasting scene drew curious glances from those around.

They all wondered where this mature man had hooked up with such a hot foreign girl.

Su Liya unabashedly leaned most of her body weight on Chen Cheng, her face blooming with a radiant smile.

“Baby, why are you so stiff?”

Chen Cheng said with a smile, “Old arms and legs here, can’t keep up with you young folks.”

“You’re not old at all!”

Su Liya pouted in dissatisfaction, and moments later, she tiptoed again and planted a light kiss on Chen Cheng’s lips,

“When you come out to play, you have to be happy!”

Looking at those bright eyes and playful smile, Chen Cheng shook his head helplessly, “Okay then.”

Although Chen Cheng said he had old arms and legs, his underlying skill was there, having been a good dancer in the nightclub back in his youth.

Just needing to show a little of that, was enough to amaze Su Liya.

“How are you so awesome? Weren’t you all stiff like a robot just now?”

Chen Cheng smiled, “When I was about your age, there wasn’t a disco in Beijing that I hadn’t been to.”

“Disco?”

Su Liya’s eyes widened as if she heard an ancient word, “Uncle, you’re really retro!”

“Back then, discos were very popular, considered the trendiest places.”

Su Liya, while dancing, asked curiously, “So were you the most handsome guy there back then?”

Chen Cheng was amused by Su Liya’s innocent question, he looked down at her with fondness in his eyes, “What do you think?”

Su Liya scrutinized Chen Cheng seriously, although he now looked slightly “old-guard,” his face, under the dim light, still revealed the handsomeness of his teenage years, plus his tall and straight stature—calling him “handsome” was no overstatement.

“Definitely the most handsome!”

Su Liya jumped with joy, “Then back in the disco days, did you also dance like this with lots of beautiful girls?”

Chen Cheng was stumped by the question.

In his memory, he and his three buddies frequented skating rinks, KTV, and discos, but due to the lack of money at the time, inviting female classmates out was mostly just platonic fun.

At most, they would hold hands.

“Um…probably…yes.”
