Chapter 230 Oops

As the group slowly passed by the old and somewhat gloomy two-story building, Wenli's previously relaxed and cheerful expression instantly turned gloomy, as if shrouded in a thick layer of smog.

She lowered her head slightly, her eyes were empty and lifeless, her lips were tightly pressed together, and she didn't say a word. She just silently followed Lin Xiyue and the others to continue walking forward.

At this moment, she seemed to want to shut out everything around her, as if the things that caused her pain and distress would cease to exist if she didn't look at or listen to them.

However, this self-deception could not truly eliminate the unease and fear deep within her heart.

That's why, even from the hand she was holding tightly to Lin Xiyue's, one could still clearly feel that her heart was still filled with unease and unspeakable pain.

Her other hand was slightly white from the excessive force, and her fingertips even dug into Wenli's own skin, but Wenli was completely unaware of it.

She was like a confused child, her worldview was a bit shattered, and she couldn't understand why anyone would do such a terrifying thing willingly. For the first time, she truly witnessed what it meant to bend over for a living.

"Don't overthink it, the dog is slowly coming down, it should be finding people soon."

Seeing Wenli's dejected expression, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but change the subject.

Wenli slowly raised her slightly lowered head, and what she saw made her eyes widen in surprise.

Unbeknownst to her, she had followed Lin Xiyue and Molos to a colossal building.

The building stands in the center of a crossroads, creating a striking and powerful contrast with its surroundings.

It resembles a towering giant, reaching into the clouds, roughly estimated to be at least six stories high.

At a glance, one can easily perceive that it is worlds apart from the rough and simple, seemingly temporary shacks around it.

This building is not only exquisitely beautiful on the outside, with every detail meticulously crafted, but its unique architectural style is also pleasing to the eye. It is no exaggeration to say that such a magnificent six-story building is completely out of place in this slum.

Night had fallen, but the building was not swallowed by darkness. On the contrary, it was brightly lit, its bright lights illuminating the nearby roads as clearly as day.

Meanwhile, the people coming and going here are quite different from those in other parts of the slum. A diverse array of people move in and out of this house in an endless stream. Some hurry along, others chat and laugh, continuously entering this mysterious building.

Above the building stands a huge and eye-catching sign that reads "Heaven on Earth".

The four large characters on the sign gleamed under the lights, seemingly radiating some kind of alluring magic, attracting the attention of passersby.

"This, this, this this this? (? ???w??? ?)?"

Wenli was initially admiring the building's incongruity with its surroundings and its luxuriousness, but after seeing the sign, her face turned bright red.

This was the first time she had ever seen this place in real life; she had only seen it on TV and in novels before.

"Yes, that's the one you're thinking of. But this is a quiet bar, so don't worry."

Lin Xiyue smiled and comforted her, then pulled Wenli towards "Heaven and Earth".

They went inside because the dog was already at the door, looking back at them, indicating that the person they were looking for was inside the house.

..............................

Since entering "Heaven and Earth," Meros has not spoken.

He watched as Lin Xiyue expertly led Wen Li to a semi-enclosed seating area. She even waved and called to Mo Luosi to hurry up after they sat down.

Moros narrowed his eyes, walked over, and sat down next to Lin Xiyue.

"Baby, you're very skilled."

There was a hint of danger in Melos's tone. He put his arm around Lin Xiyue's slender waist, giving off a "you'll be sorry if you don't explain yourself" vibe.

"Ah↗?! Ah↘, ah→ah..."

Lin Xiyue then realized something was amiss. She let out several sighs, but didn't know what to say.

"Well, well...you, you let go first, let me explain, oh no, I mean, I'll give you an explanation."

Lin Xiyue spoke in a flustered manner, feeling as if she were sweating profusely even in the comfortably warm room.

"Hmph, you're making excuses."

Moros raised an eyebrow, telling Lin Xiyue to speak, but he tightened his grip even more.

"Well, it was before, when I came to investigate the situation. I only came once!"

Lin Xiyue hurriedly explained to Molos.

"uh-huh."

Meros uttered an ambiguous interjection, leaving it unclear whether he believed it or not.

"Really! You believe me!! (⊙︿⊙)"

Lin Xiyue felt like she was about to swear an oath.

"Oh?! Miss Lin?! It's been so long since you've been here."

Just as Lin Xiyue thought she was about to convince Molos, a clear male voice rang out.

The male voice carried an intimate tone, but also conveyed a sense of unease that made Lin Xiyue feel uneasy.

"Ok?"

The air pressure around Meros suddenly dropped, giving Lin Xiyue goosebumps.

Originally, Moros only wanted to tease Lin Xiyue, but when this person arrived, he really got angry.

"Ah, no, I, I didn't!"

Lin Xiyue became even more flustered.

"Miss Lin, did you bring a friend today?"

The man who had just spoken had walked up to their booth and was looking at Lin Xiyue with a big smile on his face.

Wow! (???)

Wenli, who was sitting on the side watching the show, looked up at the person who came and then exclaimed in surprise.

"The manager really enjoyed the meal! (ˉ﹃ˉ)"

Wenli looked left at Moros and right at the newcomer, and couldn't help but let out a sound of envy.

Even if she really likes Mingxuan, it doesn't stop her from appreciating handsome guys. (*^▽^*)

"Miss Lin, don't you recognize me? We were having a great time just a few months ago. You picked me out from a crowd of people. It was a wonderful night."

The newcomer seemed to be doing it on purpose, speaking in ambiguous and unclear words, as if completely unaware that the atmosphere had reached a freezing point.

"?!!!!Σ(⊙▽⊙"a"

"You, you, you, don't talk nonsense!! ヾ(￣□￣;)?"

Lin Xiyue became even more flustered. She really hadn't done anything, so why did she feel like she was in a chaotic situation?
