After the crowd separated the two of them, it immediately shifted its attention to the next target.
No one was jostling Ling Nuan anymore, but as she stood in this completely unfamiliar bar, she felt rather lost and helpless.
Although they were in the same bar, there were so many people that she simply couldn't see where Huo Linsheng was. Coupled with the language barrier, Ling Nuan felt that the nerves that had just calmed down began to twitch.
Huo Linsheng wasn't in a much better situation.
Watching helplessly as Ling Nuan was swept away by the crowd, Huo Linsheng's face darkened to the extreme.
The bar was filled with people who were in high spirits. Cheers rose and fell one after another. Especially after Adrian's shout, the music started playing again soon, and the dance - floor became lively once more.
Huo Linsheng: "..."
He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Specifically Adrian.
Unable to find Ling Nuan, Huo Linsheng headed straight for the center of the stage, his target set on Adrian who was standing on a high platform.
Seeing Huo Linsheng approaching, Adrian was quite happy. "Huo? You're here. Come on, let's have a wild party together."
Huo Linsheng suppressed the urge to punch someone and said, "Make everyone be quiet."
Adrian was having so much fun. Quiet? He didn't take Huo Linsheng's words to heart at all. Instead, he actively reached out to pull Huo Linsheng, trying to drag him to dance together.
Huo Linsheng felt his eyebrows twitching.
Out of anger.
"My girlfriend is lost." Huo Linsheng said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, Adrian laughed. "Huo, today is a singles' party. Couples should play separately too. Look at me and my darling. We play on our own."
Huo Linsheng: "..."
Fine.
Huo Linsheng's patience reached its limit. He didn't bother to waste any more words on Adrian. Shifting his gaze, he directly found the music console and rushed towards it.
The DJ was also having a great time. Suddenly, someone appeared. Before he could react, he saw Huo Linsheng unplug the wire directly. The music stopped instantly.
"What are you doing?"
Huo Linsheng ignored him completely. He picked up the microphone on the side and said in Italian, "Next, please all participate in a game to find the lucky person here today."
"A beautiful lady with black curly hair and wearing a blue dress."
"If any of you have a lady who meets these criteria around you, please send her to the stage."
The people who were in high spirits didn't think there was anything wrong with this suddenly added segment at all. They were even very enthusiastic about looking for people who met the criteria.
There were quite a few beautiful girls in the bar, but in a foreign country, it was really rare to find someone with black curly hair.
Ling Nuan couldn't understand and hadn't reacted yet. The people around her noticed that she perfectly met the criteria and enthusiastically led Ling Nuan to the stage.
Ling Nuan had thought about refusing, but there were too many people around. They almost crowded her forward. Moreover, since they were walking towards the center of the stage, Ling Nuan didn't resist much and was sent onto the stage like this.
Apart from Ling Nuan, there were other ladies who met the criteria.
But for Huo Linsheng, finding his girlfriend meant the end.
Huo Linsheng strode towards Ling Nuan.
In a completely unfamiliar environment and unable to understand the language, although Ling Nuan wasn't so panicked that she didn't know what to do, she was indeed more uneasy than usual.
When she saw Huo Linsheng appear in her sight again, Ling Nuan felt as if everything suddenly settled down.
That feeling of satisfaction when one's long - awaited wish comes true.
She watched as Huo Linsheng walked up to her. Then, he gently held the tip of her hand like a gentleman, bent down, and planted a kiss on her palm.
"My lucky."
Although they didn't know what game they were playing, the people in the bar were very enthusiastic and cooperatively cheered again.
Amid the cheers, Huo Linsheng pulled her to his side, hugged her tightly, and quickly left the stage.
The two found a booth in the corner.
The music started playing again, and everyone quickly got back into the party mood.
"Were you scared?" Huo Linsheng asked Ling Nuan.
Ling Nuan laughed. "I'm not a three - year - old kid. How could I be so easily scared?"
"I was scared." Huo Linsheng didn't hide it at all.
Ling Nuan was stunned for a moment. "You..."
"If I lost you here, I might as well commit seppuku." Huo Linsheng seemed to be joking, but there was also a bit of seriousness in his tone.
Ling Nuan suddenly remembered something.
"Are you thinking about what happened last time?" Ling Nuan asked.
She had also been taken to a bar by Huo Linsheng before, and then an accident happened. Although the incident was over, for those who had experienced it, it was never something that could be easily forgotten.
Huo Linsheng smiled. "It's hard to say."
Ling Nuan looked at him.
"I can't think too much. I just feel a bit flustered." Huo Linsheng seemed to have no obstacle in analyzing his own state of mind.
And for Ling Nuan, these words were more like sweet nothings of a confession.
She snuggled into Huo Linsheng's arms and whispered, "How much candy did you eat today? Why are your words getting sweeter and sweeter?"
In all the time she had known him, Huo Linsheng had said fewer sweet words than he had today.
"Are you touched already?" Huo Linsheng pinched the tip of Ling Nuan's ear. "It seems that our Nuan Nuan is a bit easy to deceive."
"Who's easy to deceive!" Ling Nuan angrily reached out and hit him.
"If you're not easy to deceive, then what are you easy for?" Huo Linsheng looked down at her. Without waiting for Ling Nuan to reply, he kissed the corner of her mouth and asked, "Easy to kiss?"
"Huo Linsheng!" Ling Nuan scolded him shyly. What she thought was a scolding sounded more like a delicious candy to others, emitting a sweet taste that tempted people to sin.
"I'll give it a try." Huo Linsheng said.
He was completely talking to himself.
Before his voice faded, their lips met, and Ling Nuan seemed to swallow the end of his words.
The world around them was a noisy and crazy party, but the two of them shrank in the corner and kissed as if there was no one else around.
Ling Nuan felt that this was a rather novel feeling.
They had kissed many times, but most of the time, a kiss meant that there would be a deeper exchange between them later. There were rarely times when it was just a simple kiss without any emotion or purpose.
They seemed... really a bit like a couple.
Because the person they liked was by their side, they always couldn't help but kiss each other. There weren't too many fancy thoughts, just following their natural feelings.
"You're really easy to kiss." Huo Linsheng still remembered this question clearly.
Ling Nuan was ashamed and annoyed. She wanted to reach out and push Huo Linsheng, but instead, Huo Linsheng grabbed her wrist, supported her waist, and pulled her over.
She straddled Huo Linsheng. He held the back of her neck and pressed her towards him, starting a new kiss.
This time, Huo Linsheng's kiss seemed much gentler, with a bit more lingering meaning. Ling Nuan couldn't help but indulge in it.
Until an extremely inappropriate whistle sounded.
The kiss was interrupted.
Huo Linsheng and Ling Nuan both looked towards the source of the sound at the same time.
The former was annoyed, and the latter was shy.
