At this moment, Chu Qing felt as if she were drowning in this gentle and cozy place.
She didn't know what was going on. Almost all the women in the building who were not occupied by guests flocked towards her.
Chu Qing dodged nervously several hands that were groping towards her chest and gasped for breath several times.
The women here were extremely terrifying!
How could they be so enthusiastic towards others! No wonder men liked this place! Even as a woman, she felt that she could hardly handle it.
Wei Zhi, who had been protecting Chu Qing all the time, saw that Chu Qing's face was flushed with embarrassment. She immediately frowned and scolded the surrounding women coldly. However, as soon as her voice fell, a gentle and delicate woman walked out from behind the crowd.
"Sir, the girls all like you very much. If they have disturbed you, Wan Qing here would like to apologize to you." The woman who called herself Wan Qing bowed slightly and spoke with a smile on her face.
Her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, making Chu Qing feel that if she were to get angry with her, she would be an unforgivable jerk.
However, she was eager to escape from these overly enthusiastic women at this moment. So she could only say, "Do you have... private rooms here?"
Although this was not the first time for Chu Qing to dress up as a man, it was the first time for her to come to... a brothel. She was afraid of saying something wrong, but she had to choose her words carefully before speaking.
Seeing the embarrassed look on the other person's face, Wan Qing couldn't help but smile gently and said, "Of course we do. Coincidentally, there are not many guests at this time, and there are still plenty of empty rooms upstairs. Please follow me upstairs."
After saying that, she turned to a woman standing close to her and ordered, "Go and fetch a pot of peach blossom wine and send it up. Consider it as an apology to these two gentlemen."
The woman nodded in response and then turned to leave.
Chu Qing and Wei Zhi glanced at each other and understood in their hearts. This woman named Wan Qing was probably the madam here, commonly known as the old鸨!
When Chu Qing and Wei Zhi arrived at a private room on the second floor, someone brought up a pot of wine and several plates of snacks.
After Chu Qing thanked the person, she carefully observed the surrounding environment.
Different from what she had imagined, the decoration here was indeed elegant enough. There was a gentle-smelling incense burning on the table by the window. Wei Zhi had already checked the room and gave her a reassuring look.
At this time, Wan Qing said with a smiling face, "May I ask your name, sir?"
Chu Qing thought for a moment and then replied, "Ning."
"Mr. Ning, this is your first time here, right? Don't be so拘束. You come here to relax." Seeing that Chu Qing was still a bit reserved, Wan Qing said considerately.
Chu Qing paused for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
The other person's tone was so gentle and without any prejudice that it was impossible to feel any resistance.
Seeing that Chu Qing didn't answer, Wan Qing continued to smile and said, "Mr. Ning, otherwise, let me recommend a few girls to accompany you. After all, you are not very familiar with our Drunken Immortal Pavilion."
Without much thought, Chu Qing nodded.
Seeing that the other person still didn't talk much, Wan Qing knew that the other person might not be very good at communicating. If it were someone else, they might have shown some impatience in their tone. However, Wan Qing didn't. She still looked gentle and considerate and said softly, "The top courtesan in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion is named Zhao Yue. However, she is not feeling well at the moment and is not suitable to come and serve you. Among the rest... I personally think that there are two girls who might suit your taste. One is named Lan Xing, and the other is named Hong Luan. What do you think...?"
Just hearing these non-vulgar names, one couldn't help but wonder what the owners of these names were like. It seemed that the Drunken Immortal Pavilion should be a high-class brothel.
"Then Lan Xing!" Chu Qing recalled the names that Wan Qing had just mentioned. She really wanted to see this Lan Xing.
Wan Qing pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Mr. Ning really knows how to choose. You've picked one of our chaste girls right away. Then..." Wan Qing looked up at Wei Zhi, who was standing upright, and continued, "What kind of girl does this gentleman want to accompany him?"
Wei Zhi was stunned for a moment and then still with a straight face, she said, "I don't need one."
Wan Qing, who was treated so coldly, didn't show any sign of annoyance. After nodding in response, she said some polite words and then slowly left.
After seeing the other person leave, Wei Zhi quickly rushed over to close the door.
When she turned around, Chu Qing had already found a soft couch and was leaning on it.
"Master, you..."
Seeing that Wei Zhi hesitated to speak, Chu Qing understood what she wanted to say. She sighed and said, "Look, since we've come, it wouldn't seem right if we didn't call a girl to accompany us, right?"
Wei Zhi's eyes looked a bit strange. Then she replied word by word, "Actually, Master, in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, even if you don't call anyone to accompany you, they won't drive you away. This place is just a restaurant during the day..."
"..."
"Master, are you just going to call a girl over and then sit here?" Aren't you here to find someone...
If she didn't know that the other person was a woman, Wei Zhi would definitely suspect that this person must be using the high-sounding excuse of finding someone, but actually having other motives, like being interested in the women in the building.
After hearing this, Chu Qing frowned slightly.
Although she had felt a bit uncomfortable and reserved just now, she couldn't deny that... there was actually a strange sense of excitement in her heart!
Was she going to be attracted to both men and women?
No!
She came here not to pass the time. She wanted to see what this Chu Zhan was doing here!
Since he wasn't downstairs, he should... be in one of the private rooms on this floor.
...
"Sir, the two people just now have been arranged in a private room."
At this moment, Wan Qing was in a very luxurious private room, respectfully reporting Chu Qing's actions to a figure behind the curtain.
The figure behind the curtain moved slightly and then said, "Did they ask you any strange questions?"
"No, they didn't." Wan Qing replied seriously with her head down.
"Who did they call?" the person continued to ask.
Wan Qing seemed to smile and then whispered, "Lan Xing."
"Then tell Lan Xing to keep a close eye on them and see what they're up to when they come in."
The figure behind the curtain was none other than Chu Zhan, whom Chu Qing was looking for.
"Yes."
After reporting, Wan Qing left the room.
...
After Wei Zhi asked the question, Chu Qing finally realized that she had put herself in a difficult situation...
So she could only pace back and forth anxiously in the room.
Just as she was thinking about how to get rid of this girl named Lan Xing, there was a soft knock on the door. Then, a graceful figure slowly walked in.
Chu Qing looked up and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Just by looking at the other person's eyes, Chu Qing couldn't help but admire.
"I'm Lan Xing. I've come to pay my respects to Mr. Ning." Lan Xing bowed slightly. There was a hint of coldness in her eyebrows and eyes. She was like a snow lotus on a high mountain, making people fall in love with her but not daring to desecrate her.
Chu Qing gave a soft "hmm" and then motioned for her to sit down.
Then... Lan Xing sat down opposite Chu Qing.
Wei Zhi stood silently behind Chu Qing, but her eyes were constantly sizing up Lan Xing.
Being sized up so openly by Wei Zhi, Lan Xing didn't feel offended. Instead, she still sat there calmly.
Chu Qing didn't speak, and she also kept silent.
So... the atmosphere suddenly became strangely quiet.
Wei Zhi was originally a quiet person. Unless it was necessary, she wouldn't say anything easily.
And this girl named Lan Xing, one could tell her personality just by looking at her appearance.
Since both of them were silent, Chu Qing could only silently drink the tea in her hand and start thinking about how to get rid of Lan Xing and then go out to find Chu Zhan by herself.
The three of them sat there in silence for about half an hour.
Finally, it was Lan Xing who couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to break the silence.
She was ordered by her master to keep an eye on these two people. She thought that the other person would surely pester her with all kinds of questions. But as it turned out...
These two people were even quieter than her?
Since the other person was so patient, she could only try to speak.
"Sir, did you call Lan Xing here just to accompany you... in deep thought?" There was actually a hint of... grievance in Lan Xing's originally cold eyes?
Chu Qing took a silent breath, then straightened her body and said:
"This... sir wants to ask you something."
Lan Xing lowered her head, and a look flashed across her eyes.
Finally, was the other person unable to hold back?
