Chapter 176: Facing Shao Ziyang's Fatal Blow

Yang Tianxing would simply never ask such boring questions; a bar is for having fun. Don't ask me if I have a girlfriend, and I won't ask where your partner is; everyone just needs to know it in their hearts.

Especially after Lizi told Yang Tianxing the identities of the people at this table, he realized they were all just a bunch of "little brothers," and his mindset became even more relaxed.

With the constant urging of Jiang Mumu and Lizi, plus the atmosphere of the bar, he joined the game of "rolling dice to compare sizes, loser drinks."

"Let's just take a taxi back in a bit."

Yang Tianxing thought to himself, while his hand began to shake the dice cup.

The dice-rolling game is essentially a psychological battle; it's about guessing the size of others' dice based on the numbers you rolled yourself and the expressions on their faces.

It's a bit like a low-intelligence version of Werewolf, but because it's in a bar, it has an extra layer of impulse and excitement compared to Werewolf.

Because some simpletons will challenge you even when they know your number is the highest; they just purely want to drink.

Yang Tianxing is a master at this; his experience is simply too rich. If all else fails, he'll just go for a mutual destruction; in any case, his alcohol tolerance is good.

Seeing Yang Tianxing's intention to play, Jiang Mumu hurriedly called everyone else over to join, as if it weren't her own birthday, but rather she was thinking about how to make Yang Tianxing happy.

Sitting beside her, the minor official's son, Si Zheng, asked: "Is he the person you mentioned on the phone, the one who needs to be buttered up?"

"Yes."

Jiang Mumu explained: "Don't look at Yang Tianxing as young; his methods are very formidable. I've had contact with him a few times, but I've never actually gained any advantage."

She and Si Zheng have an unusual relationship, so she didn't hide it.

Si Zheng smiled and comforted her: "I can tell. Look at his movements while shaking the dice, and the way he just had that conflict with Gouzi; he is definitely a regular at the bar."

The music around them was very loud, so the two had to lean in close to talk; Yang Tianxing and Lizi were talking like this, and Si Zheng and Huang Hui were also talking like this.

Shao Ziyang felt extremely uncomfortable watching from the side, but he didn't know how to react. He didn't even dare to look much, just glancing over inadvertently before immediately turning his head away, pretending to be engrossed in the dice game.

Even to cover it up so others wouldn't notice, Shao Ziyang joined in the clamor to urge others to drink, though he didn't even know what he was doing himself; his heart was in chaos.

"If Little Yang were me, what would he do?"

Shao Ziyang raised his head and glanced at Yang Tianxing, finding him with one arm around Lizi's waist, the other hand "rattling" the dice, while simultaneously whispering and laughing with a girl named Yanzi on the other side.

Occasionally, Yanzi would be amused and reach out with a soft fist to playfully hit Yang Tianxing, which made Lizi, who was busy on the other side, very dissatisfied; she hugged Yang Tianxing even tighter as if jealous.

Shao Ziyang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If Little Yang were here, he would definitely kick that guy surnamed Si away, right?"

"No, that's not right. Little Yang would never let something like this happen in the first place."

Shao Ziyang looked down at the gray plaid suit jacket he had bought with his savings, then looked at the ordinary sweatshirt on Yang Tianxing, wondering if Little Yang had a string in his hand, controlling the girls he liked.

If he felt the relationship between the two was too intimate and felt pressured, he would distance himself a little; if he missed someone, he would take the initiative to get closer.

However, regardless of whether he was close or far, this string was always controlled by Yang Tianxing, so even if those girls lived their own lives, their hearts were never complete.

Because a piece had been stolen or snatched away by Yang Tianxing, and he never intended to return it.

"Not playing anymore, not playing anymore," Brother Gouzi suddenly said loudly.

Shao Ziyang looked over; it turned out Yang Tianxing's dice-rolling technique was too good, and no one at the table was his match. The key was that he was also mean; he didn't seek revenge on the yellow-haired Brother Gouzi, but specifically picked Lizi and Yanzi beside him to drink.

What kind of thing is that yellow-haired guy? Wouldn't drinking with him just be giving him face?

Isn't it much better to compete in drinking with pretty girls?

Lizi and Yanzi's faces were both flushed, their two soft bodies leaning into Yang Tianxing's embrace; every time the three of them spoke, it looked like they were kissing. Brother Gouzi felt sour inside watching them.

Jiang Mumu also saw the clues; she felt Yang Tianxing's wrist technique was too formidable and truly overbearing, as the two prettiest girls had both been occupied.

So, fearing further disputes, she hurriedly took out the cake and said: "Let's eat the cake. Lizi is already drunk; we'll go back after eating. Tianxing, did you have fun today?"

Yang Tianxing nodded. Jiang Mumu felt slightly settled, thinking this task was at least more than half completed.

After the few of them finished the cake, they began to leave the bar in a loose group. Si Zheng and Jiang Mumu went together to pay the bill.

For Chang'an, mid-October is already an autumn night. The cool breeze outside was just enough to soothe the stuffiness of the bar, though their ears were still a bit unaccustomed to the silence after being used to the noisy music.

Now everyone was going their separate ways. In fact, with Yang Tianxing's methods, if he wanted to, there might have been even more exciting programs.

Yanzi and Lizi were from the same school, and she hadn't drunk as much as Lizi. She helped Lizi into a taxi, but didn't expect Lizi to suddenly lift her head: "I forgot to get Brother Yang's contact information."

"Don't fall too deep."

Yanzi stroked Lizi's hair: "This is bar love; we can't believe in it. Brother Yang is clearly a ruthless person too. Look at him, he just flicked his sleeves and left, not even sparing us another glance."

Through the car window, Lizi saw the figures of Yang Tianxing and Shao Ziyang gradually disappear; sure enough, there was no lingering attachment at all.

A sense of emptiness after the alcohol wore off filled her heart. Lizi said blankly: "Yanzi, let's go teach children how to dance in the future; don't come to bars anymore."

"The pay there is low."

"But, we can be respected by others."

Lizi suddenly hugged Yanzi: "Actually, just now in the bar, I wanted to ask for Brother Yang's phone number, but I never opened my mouth because I knew he looked down on..."

As for Yang Tianxing and Shao Ziyang, Yang Tianxing had forgotten who the girl beside him was the moment he left the bar, while every time Shao Ziyang thought of the intimate way Si Zheng and Jiang Mumu were talking, it felt like a stone was blocking his heart.

"Little Yang, let's take a taxi to the Northwest Polytechnical University; you should still sleep in my dorm."

Shao Ziyang exhaled a breath of turbid air and said.

Yang Tianxing took the flowers out of the car: "Weren't you going to give these to Jiang Mumu?"

Shao Ziyang shook his head silently: "Forget it, I'm not in the mood."

Yang Tianxing smiled: "Whether you give them or not, I suggest waiting at the bar entrance for another 10 minutes to see."

As he spoke, he hailed a taxi. The driver was very unhappy after hearing the request: "I rely on the night to earn some money; I can't just wait here. I'll wait 5 minutes at most..."

"Swish."

Yang Tianxing pulled a 100-yuan banknote from his wallet and handed it over: "Big brother, thanks for the hard work. I only have two requests: first, wait at the door for 10 minutes, and second, shut your mouth."

The driver immediately stopped talking and took it, sizing up Yang Tianxing through the rearview mirror. The car was very silent.

Shao Ziyang couldn't figure out the situation: "Little Yang, what exactly is going on with you?"

"Don't be anxious, there should be a good show to watch in a moment," Yang Tianxing said, staring ahead.

Not long after, they saw Si Zheng and Jiang Mumu walking out of the bar arm-in-arm. The two were huddled together, and their expressions were very sweet.

Shao Ziyang's face immediately dimmed: "I saw it. Let's go."

The driver looked at Yang Tianxing, and Yang Tianxing shook his head: "This is nowhere near the end."

Sure enough, before Sizheng had walked two steps, he suddenly pulled a small box out of his bag and handed it over; seeing this, Jiang Mumu immediately hugged Sizheng and even enthusiastically planted a sweet kiss on him.

Yang Tianxing added a provocative remark from the side: "Ziyang, guess where the two of them will go to stay tonight?"
