Wei Fatty suppressed his fear and looked up, because the photo was taken from...above his head.

"Ah... Aah!!"

"Gurgl gurgl—"

After a series of indescribable sounds, the scene quieted down. Wei Fatty looked up, his mouth stretched open at an angle that a normal person couldn't comprehend, his eyes wide, the corners almost cracking.

He just maintained this motionless pose, but the shadow on the wall showed an arm stretching down from above and directly piercing into Wei Fatty's mouth, almost running through his entire body.

"Buzz—"

A new message popped up on Wei Fatty's tightly gripped phone: Sister says she likes your taste, hee hee hee...

...

"Damn, where the hell did Wei Fatty go?" Jiang Lei waited impatiently, slamming his glass on the table. He just asked him to order some drinks, and then there's been no sign of him. One would think he was dead.

Jia Xudong was shaking his hands to the rhythm of the music, reveling in his own world. Hearing Jiang Lei's words, he turned around and grinned, "Brother Lei, don't be angry. Don't you know what Wei Fatty is like? He must have seen a beauty and couldn't move. I'll give him a call." With that, Jia Xudong went to get his phone.

"No need." Jiang Lei stubbed out his cigarette directly on the table, then took out his own phone, exhaling a puff of smoke with a flourish, and said, "I'll call him. Damn, it's only been a few days since I scolded him, and the kid's itching for it..."

But before Jiang Lei could find Wei Fatty's number, a hand reached over and covered the phone screen. "Don't call," Xue Jia said with a very understanding smile. "Maybe he's having fun. He rarely gets a chance to come to a place like this, right?"

Xue Jia's hands were white and slender, her fingertips inadvertently brushing against the back of Jiang Lei's hand, stirring up a ticklish feeling in Jiang Lei's heart.

A soft, delicate body pressed against Jiang Lei's, and through the thin fabric, Jiang Lei could clearly feel Xue Jia's curves. Instantly, a surge of heat rushed into his brain. "I'll listen to you, I'll… I'll listen to you." Jiang Lei immediately put down his phone and went to embrace the beauty in his arms.

On the other side, Jia Xudong's eyes were green with envy. He couldn't help but curse Jiang Lei in his heart for having such good luck. If only he could have a father like that.

"I want to go to the restroom." Xue Jia leaned her head on Jiang Lei's shoulder and whispered in a coquettish tone, "I've never been to a place like this before. This is my first time. Would you accompany me?"

"Don't worry, with me here, no one would dare to take advantage of you!" Jiang Lei's masculine aura exploded.

Xue Jia poked Jiang Lei's chest with her fingertip, her eyes like silk. "Then you won't either."

The next second, Jiang Lei's breathing became rapid.

After Xue Jia left with Jiang Lei, Jia Xudong, who had witnessed everything, hadn't recovered. He swallowed and felt a painful swelling down below. "Damn, I didn't expect Xue Jia to be like this behind my back. I initially thought she was quite honest. Damn it, Jiang Lei, that big idiot, got lucky." He cursed viciously at their backs.

Xue Jia led Jiang Lei to the restroom, gave Jiang Lei a captivating look, and then entered the women's room on the right.

Jiang Lei stayed outside, smoking and calming his agitated mood.

He aimlessly scanned the bar, just passing the time, but slowly, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This bar seemed to be a little different from the ones he had been to before.

It was… too lively here. Everyone, whether sitting or standing, was reveling in excess, either drinking or twisting their bodies to the rhythm. There wasn't a single person who stopped to rest.

Jiang Lei squinted and looked. He didn't know if it was the lighting or because he had been drinking, but he always felt that these people's faces were very blurry, the kind you would quickly forget after just one glance.

And most importantly, some of these people shouldn't be here.

More precisely, their outfits were out of tune with the atmosphere of the bar. They should at least change their clothes before coming.

Among them were men with computer bags on their shoulders, workers with paint on their trouser legs and wearing blue work uniforms with company names, and even a middle-aged woman wearing an apron, as if she had been busy in the kitchen just a second ago.

These people were reveling without any restraint, giving off a sense of demons dancing wildly the longer Jiang Lei looked. He felt more and more strange. Unconsciously, the cigarette burned his hand before he realized it.

"Hoo—, hoo—" He blew on his burned hand, and then his phone rang.

"Hello." Xue Jia's delicate voice immediately brought Jiang Lei's thoughts back. "Are you getting impatient? I accidentally twisted my ankle just now. Can you come in and help me?"

Before Jiang Lei could speak, he heard another voice continue, "There's no one in here."

"Wait for me!"

Jiang Lei perked up. He looked around and found that everyone around him was immersed in their own world, not paying any attention to him at all. So, with a turn, he immediately slipped inside.

He would never know that just a second before he disappeared into the restroom door, all the people who had been reveling nearby stopped, turned their heads in unison, and looked at his back with stiff faces.

The women's restroom was quite large, at least much larger than Jiang Lei remembered. He didn't see Xue Jia, so he slowly and tentatively walked inside, "Xue Jia, where are you?"

He whispered, pushing open one slightly ajar stall door after another, feeling a thrill of opening a blind box.

Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out from behind without warning and covered his eyes. "Guess who I am?"

Jiang Lei didn't struggle, smiling as he reached back with his hands. "Hehe, stop it, who else could it be, naturally it's my... huh?!" As he laughed, Jiang Lei's smile froze on his face.

His hands… grasped at empty air.

There was no one behind him.

Where was Xue Jia? The hands had reached out from behind him, so she should be standing behind him!

"Hee hee hee..." A faint laugh rang out close to Jiang Lei's face, almost touching his nose. "Where are you touching? I'm standing right in front of you."

Jiang Lei immediately tried to grab the hands covering his eyes, but the pair of hands that had been as soft as boneless were now like iron clamps. He used all his strength, but only pried open a small crack. Xue Jia in front of him was still smiling at him, but the tenderness was gone from her eyes, replaced by the look of a viper flicking its tongue.

The shadow behind Xue Jia twisted strangely. Her head... her shadow didn't have a head, or rather, it wasn't that it didn't have one, but it was as if it had been cut off by a knife, hanging crookedly behind her body like a large gourd.

The next second, before Jiang Lei could open his mouth and scream, the head on Xue Jia's shadow suddenly lunged at him, biting fiercely on Jiang Lei's shadow. A large chunk was instantly missing from the right side of the neck of Jiang Lei's shadow on the wall.
