BXBX NOVEL Chapter 20: 10 Percent
Chapter 20
Xiao Yan\'s fingertips were very powerful, and the wallet was pressed under his fingers, so it couldn\'t be taken back at all.
"I don\'t mind kneeling down to serve you, after all at Xiu Ting Club, the customer is God. " Xiao Yan looked up, his pitch-black eyes churning with crow-black light: "Similarly, at Xiu Ting Club, cards that are handed out almost never have the right to be taken back. Now you want to take back the card, so I\'ll ask you - are you a classmate, or God?"
Lin Chu Sui was seeing Xiao Yan being so serious for the first time.
Until this moment, she finally saw Xiao Yan\'s other side, completely different from when he wore the clean, simple blue school uniform at school.
Here, he was not the top student, not the deskmate, here was the iron-like real life.
Here, he could not unscrupulously and gleefully mock others under the name of being classmates, and then easily brush it off under the name of a joke...
Xiao Yan was not someone to be bullied, he never was.
Lu Chi looked towards Lin Chu Sui, hoping she could help say a few words. Xiao Yan might not give any of them face, but he would definitely give Lin Chu Sui face.
Lin Chu Sui stood with her arms crossed, being an observer, with no intention of saying anything to help Xu Jia Ning.
Let him do it, he did it to himself.
He deserves it.
Xu Jia Ning gritted his teeth as he looked at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan looked back at him neither humbly nor arrogantly -
"As a classmate, I can ask you to drink a toast; as God, then reach the consumption standards a God should have."
"Of course classmates!" Lu Chi quickly mediated: "We\'re in the same class, who looks down on anyone! There\'s nothing going on, just drunk rambling from the fake foreign devil earlier!"
Xu Jia Ning seemed really angry, yelling at Lu Chi: "Don\'t call me a fake foreign devil again!"
"Why... why are you yelling at me?"
Lu Chi felt a little wronged, and a little angry too: "I\'m trying to help you, why are you like a mad dog, biting anyone you see?"
"I don\'t need your help, it\'s just a 200,000 yuan bottle of wine." Xu Jia Ning handed his card over, enunciating each word clearly: "I, Xu Jia Ning, can af-ford it! Today here, there are no classmates, only the relationship between service and being served."
Xiao Yan\'s mouth corners lightly pursed up as he calmly took his card, then quickly swiped the card with a POS machine -
"Thank you, I\'ll bring the wine right up."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
The room became quiet, with everyone stopping singing and talking, staring blankly at Xu Jia Ning.
In fact, most of the classmates present were children of ordinary families. Even if there were a few rich kids like Lu Chi and Lu Tian Bai, there were few who would wildly swipe 200,000 in one go just to spite someone.
Zhang Cheng Yu noticed everyone had stopped talking, so he picked up the mic and sang along to the melody: "Why can\'t I fly out, of this flowery world, turns out I\'m just, a drunken butterfly."
After croaking out two lines, the atmosphere in the room was still tense, so he silently put down the mic, then ate a piece of chocolate dessert.
What\'s with the drama!
Soon, Xiao Yan brought a bottle of red wine, decanted it, and woke up the wine.
Xu Jia Ning was already lazily leaning against the sofa, his slender fingertips pushing the wine glass over.
Everyone looked towards the two of them, waiting to see what kind of service this 200,000 wine Xiao Yan poured would get.
"He won\'t really kneel down right."
"The card\'s been swiped, he\'s serious."
"But they\'re classmates, won\'t it be super awkward to meet in the future?"
"If the people involved don\'t feel awkward, why do you feel awkward for no reason?"
...
Xiao Yan professionally took out a brand new white glove from his shirt pocket and put it on after decanting the wine.
Lin Chu Sui immediately stood up, trying to stop Xiao Yan, but before she could even open her mouth, Xiao Yan had already pulled her behind him to get her out of the way.
Then, without any hesitation, he knelt down on one knee and poured a glass of wine for Xu Jia Ning -
"Please enjoy slowly."
Xu Jia Ning lowered his eyes to look at the kneeling man in front of him.
He didn\'t know why, but he didn\'t feel any joy at all. On the contrary, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
On one hand, his heart ached over the 200,000 spent. On the other, he really felt like he did something awful tonight.
Xiao Yan calmly poured him wine, at least, his expression didn\'t show any humiliation or hurt pride.
He was just completing his job, nothing more, just like completing homework every day.
Looking at his back as he knelt down, Lin Chu Sui\'s heart tightened.
She guessed that perhaps things like this happened every day. She finally understood why Xiao Yan could endure it so calmly when that chubby man poured wine on him earlier.
This was the most realistic human world, not the ivory tower she lived in, not the school. There was no Class Advisor Old Qin, who grumbled at her but cared for her, no dad or mum...
Their school and family were natural protective barriers that shielded their innocent youth.
But once they left school, society would not give them any room for tolerance or rest, only survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle...
Xu Jia Ning could take out 200,000 yuan, so he could freely trample another person\'s dignity under his feet and viciously stomp on it.
At this moment, Lin Chu Sui suddenly felt like she finally understood Xiao Yan\'s words -
"In this world, if no one is with you, protecting you, you have to learn to grow up yourself."
Even if you\'re unwilling, others will force you to grow up.
And putting herself in his shoes, she thought that once she left school and home, left her awesome mum, she was nothing and had no skills. She couldn\'t even compare with Xiao Yan.
At the very least, Xiao Yan still had the resilience to kneel down.
If it were her, could she kneel down?
...
Progress: 10%
Xiao Yan poured wine for a few male students.
Of course they couldn\'t afford Xiao Yan\'s "service", especially Lu Chi and the others. Under Lin Chu Sui\'s threatening gaze, they held out both hands to accept the wine glasses he handed over: "Thank you, thanks, thank you for your hard work."
Their respectful attitude was just short of kneeling down to Xiao Yan.
"Are you of age?" Xiao Yan looked towards Lu Chi: "The club rules are that we cannot sell alcohol to minors."
Before Lu Chi could reply, Xu Jia Ning sneered coldly: "You ask if I\'m of age only after swiping the card, isn\'t that shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted?"
"I swiped your card. When I was in the office helping the teacher organize files, I saw your student records that show you\'re of age. There\'s no issue with me selling you alcohol."
Xu Jia Ning shut up awkwardly, too lazy to bother with him.
Lu Chi quickly said: "My sister turned 18 today. We\'re twins born right on the stroke of midnight. I\'m just one day older than her."
As Xiao Yan passed by Lin Chu Sui with the wine decanter, he didn\'t pour wine for her. Instead, he took out a carton of high calcium milk from his pocket and placed it in front of her.
"Huh?"
"Are you of age?"
"Of a..."
Seeing his gaze, Lin Chu Sui awkwardly swallowed the words that she was of age already, and asked: "Did we order milk?"
Xiao Yan: "No."
"Then why..."
"My treat."
Lin Chu Sui stared fixedly at his pitch-black eyes, asking uncertainly: "You\'re treating only me?"
"Mm."
"Why!"
Her old face turned red as she agitatedly yelled: "I\'ve rejected so many gentle straight guys\' confessions! I see you have potential to be the aggressive bad boy!"
After Lu Chi finished saying this, the entire KTV room somehow started clapping in unison, and it looked like they were about to start chanting "Get together" to tease them. Lin Chu Sui grabbed the milk and started drinking it herself.
Xiao Yan casually explained: "You brought this golden master who can spend so much, letting my sales tonight skyrocket. Buying you a carton of milk is nothing."
When he said this, Xu Jia Ning\'s expression turned even darker.
"Thanks then."
"Drink up, then go to bed quickly."
She remembered that in the past, old Lin would heat up a pack of milk for her every night, perfect for drinking right before bed.
Her emotions instantly softened.
The milk flavor burst on her tongue.
"As a server, how can you ask guests to leave?" Lin Chu Sui said: "I\'ll naturally go to bed when I want to sleep.".
"To them, I\'m a server. " As Xiao Yan stood up holding the tray, he softly said next to her ear: "To you, I\'m your esteemed deskmate."
Lin Chu Sui could feel his hot breath on her ear. Bowing her head, she mumbled -
"Meddling so much, I see you\'re not my esteemed deskmate, you\'re my dear dad!"
