CHAPTER 49: CHAPTER 44 MEETING

Dragon and Tiger Heaven and Earth Entertainment City ranks among the top three in the North Alley, but in the whole of Yanjing City, Dragon and Tiger World is not considered high-end.

Sister Xiang seems to indeed be a regular here. Following behind her, quite a few waiters and people playing here greeted her, and they seemed to be somewhat influential. Besides a few young men in their thirties, others called her Sister Xiang directly.

This made Xiao Lin and Xiang Fei smile in surprise. This young lady really seems to own the place, just like she said.

The three of them ignored the excitement surrounding the violin prince Chopin on the first-floor lobby and went straight upstairs, soon reaching the fourth floor.

Sister Xiang is a regular here. As soon as she arrived, the cashier at the fourth-floor front desk greeted her with a smile: "Sister Xiang, how come you’re playing alone today? Where’s Sister Nuo and the others?" The cashier was quite familiar with her.

"Sister Nuo has a class tonight, so she won’t be coming. I’m here to hang out with friends from our gaming group. Look, aren’t these two handsome guys behind me nice? Should I introduce them to you, this little troublemaker!" Sister Xiang said quietly to the cashier lady, but even in a low voice, Xiao Lin and Xiang Fei still heard her.

"Sure, sure, as long as you don’t mind!" The cashier lady was quite open-minded, not feeling insulted at all being called a troublemaker. Instead, she looked again at Xiao Lin and Xiang Fei, liking what she saw: definitely handsome guys.

After joking a bit with the cashier, Sister Xiang headed to the booth without needing a waiter to guide her as she was familiar with the place.

The soundproofing here is excellent. No matter how loud it gets inside the booth, once the door is closed, the outside corridor remains quiet. Soon, Sister Xiang brought Xiao Lin and Xiang Fei to the previously booked booth number seven.

Opening the booth door, inside there was the sound of a duet between a man and a woman, presumably Loneliness and Moon.

Sister Xiang entered the booth and shouted, "Brother Loneliness, Sister Moon, the Military Doctor and Xiang Fei have arrived!"

The booth was large, divided into three parts. The first table had a barbecue grill, the second was the main booth, where singing took place, and the third section was arranged similarly to the first, but without the grill, used only for drinking and chatting.

The overall design of the booth was quite nice, with a touch of elegance.

Next to the large sofa in the main booth stood a man and a woman. The woman was considerably taller than the man, casually holding his arm. Both looked quite young, possibly around twenty-three or twenty-four.

These two were clearly Loneliness and Moon from the group. Upon hearing Sister Xiang’s shout, they stopped singing simultaneously. Loneliness was more thoughtful and turned down the volume with the remote.

Moon had a more open personality. As soon as she saw Xiao Lin, she smiled and said, "Military Doctor, I didn’t expect you to be such a handsome guy. Come, let sister give you a hug!" From facial appearance, Xiao Lin indeed looked much younger than Loneliness and Moon, while Xiang Fei seemed older but had a delicate and pretty face.

Understanding Moon’s personality, Xiao Lin was somewhat aware through their online interactions, where she would often use cute hug and kiss emojis during their chats. Moon seemed to be a big sister-type character, whereas Loneliness was quite the opposite, seldom speaking and always following Moon’s lead.

"Hi, Moon!" Xiao Lin greeted Moon and then turned to Loneliness, saying, "Loneliness, it seems you’re totally under Moon’s influence this lifetime. You don’t even manage your wife!"

"Our Loneliness is the most considerate! Military Doctor, you better not lead him astray!" Moon said, giggling.

Though Loneliness was quiet, he understood basic social etiquette. He walked up to Xiao Lin, shook his hand, and said, "Military Doctor, it’s really rare to meet you in person. We’ve known each other for almost three years, right?"

"Yes, it’s been three years," Xiao Lin nodded.

Xiang Fei had met Loneliness and Moon quite a few times, so they were all quite familiar with each other. After chatting with Xiao Lin, Moon turned to Xiang Fei and said, "Xiang Fei, come over here for a royal kiss!"

"Old Mo, you should manage your wife!" Xiang Fei said with a light smile to Loneliness, joking a bit.

"Everyone, take a seat. Why are we all standing?" Loneliness quickly invited them, then grabbed two empty glasses from the table and poured two slow beers.

These friends had been gaming together for three years, so they didn’t feel awkward meeting up. Especially with Moon stirring things up, who would occasionally tease the Military Doctor and Xiang Fei during their gaming moments online, appearing like a big sis. Now that they were meeting, the atmosphere didn’t feel awkward.

After entering the booth, Sister Xiang went straight to the karaoke stand and queued up seven or eight songs at once, before turning back to greet Loneliness and Moon.

At this moment, Sister Xiang’s phone rang. Fortunately, the sound system was turned down, so she picked up her phone and smiled at Xiao Lin and the others: "I reckon Brother Chopin has arrived!"

Sister Xiang answered her phone without avoiding Xiao Lin and the others.

"Yes, we’re at booth seven. Oh, you’ve arrived? Just come in directly!"

After Sister Xiang finished speaking, the booth door opened, but instead of Chopin, two bodyguards in black suits walked in first. Sister Xiang glanced at them and then said to everyone, "Could Chopin be the violin prince we saw at the entrance earlier?" Though still suspicious, Sister Xiang’s little face turned slightly red with excitement, really hoping it was that violin prince Chopin entering.

"Sister Xiang, are you talking about the most amazing pop music Godfather Chopin?" Moon’s eyes lit up instantly. Although she mostly worked or gamed, she knew about entertainment celebrities and admired Chopin quite a bit.

Even Loneliness, usually silent, seemed excited now, quickly asking, "Sister Xiang, are you serious? Is our group’s Chopin really the violin prince?"

"Oh, I remember now. I’ve seen his videos online!" Xiang Fei, a typical homebody, said as he adjusted his glasses. Although not familiar with Chopin, he had heard of him.

Xiao Lin could only smile bitterly, sensing a disconnect. He had never heard of this Chopin person.
