Chapter 161 Host Club
Reading Settings
During the day, Shi Shi deflated their arrogance, and everyone grew closer together in their shared hatred of the enemy.
That evening, there was a knock on Shi Shi's door, and Yan Xuehua was standing there.
She was dressed in a 90s Hong Kong and Taiwan style outfit, with big, wavy hair and red lips. Underneath her wool coat was a dress that was barely visible. The vibrant polka-dot dress was paired with a matching hair clip. She leaned against the door frame, standing there watching Shishi, as if the dignified and elegant Teacher Yan from earlier that day was just a figment of her imagination.
"Come on, let me show you something new." Yan Xuehua greatly admired Shi Shi. This time, there were only three women on the trip: herself, Gu Hanyi, and Shi Shi.
Just the two of us?
Yan Xuehua looked at her meaningfully: "The project we're going to do tonight is a cultural industry unique to Japan—the men aren't interested. Only the three ladies will be going."
Since we're going abroad, we should definitely have some fun. Shi Shi readily agreed.
Just as she was about to close the door and go inside to change her clothes, Yan Xuehua called out to her.
"Hey, wait a minute. Remember to put on some makeup! Don't tarnish the dignity of Chinese women."
Although she didn't understand why she needed to be mindful of her demeanor when going out, Shishi still agreed. She wore a champagne-colored long dress with a fur shawl. After applying bright red lipstick, she let her hair down, the previously tied-up strands now curling naturally. Standing in front of the mirror, Shishi looked at her exquisitely made-up and elegant reflection and nodded in satisfaction. Then she opened the door to call Yan Xuehua.
Yan Xuehua's eyes lit up, and she whistled, "Shishi, your outfit is stunning! Let's go, we're sure to turn heads!"
The two arrived at the hotel lobby, where Gu Hanyi was already waiting. She was in her fifties, but dressed very fashionably, wearing a retro cheongsam with a black short jacket over it. Her hair was neatly styled, and she wore light makeup, giving her a unique charm.
Seeing Shi Shi and Yan Xuehua, Gu Han smiled and nodded: "You two are really beautiful. If you went out, you would outshine the Japanese."
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, then walked out of the hotel.
They hailed a taxi and headed towards their destination. On the way, Yan Xuehua said mysteriously, "When we get there, don't be scared, the scene inside is quite special."
Shi Shi and Gu Hanyi's curiosity was piqued, and they were filled with anticipation. Before long, they arrived at their destination. This was a famous red-light district in Japan, the entire street flashing neon lights and filled with deafening music.
This street not only has izakayas, bars, karaoke rooms, live music venues, and nightclubs, but also themed shops. Ahem, don't get the wrong idea. Themed shops refer to cafes where customers can dress up as maids or male servants.
Finally arriving at their destination, Yan Xuehua led them to a small shop with practiced ease. The shop's exterior was unremarkable, appearing quite ordinary compared to larger establishments. But once inside, it revealed a hidden gem.
This is a male escort club. The lighting inside is dim, and people are swaying their bodies freely on the dance floor. The appearance of three women instantly attracted a lot of attention.
Yan Xuehua pointed with her finger, indicating that she would make arrangements for the two of them to sit at the bar outside and have a few drinks.
Gu Hanyi and Shi Shi walked to the bar. After ordering drinks, they sipped their drinks while enjoying the lively scene around them. Inside, the lights were flashing, the music was upbeat, and there were various performances that kept them entertained.
A few minutes later, Yan Xuehua returned. She said mysteriously to the two of them, "My old friend has arranged a special performance. Come on, let's go to the private room."
The host club's regulars were naturally the male hosts themselves. Yan Xuehua's regular friend was a Japanese man nicknamed Mark. Adhering to the principle that sharing happiness is better than enjoying it alone, Yan Xuehua had Mark call out several of the club's most sought-after male hosts.
Shi Shi and Gu Hanyi followed Yan Xuehua into the private room, where they saw several handsome male escorts already waiting.
As for which male escort he would choose to accompany him, Gu Hanyi said that only children make choices; at his age, he naturally wants them all!
They were dressed in elegant suits, their smiles captivating. The performance began with the male escorts performing a lively dance, eliciting cheers from the three ladies. Then, they showcased their talents, some playing guitar, others singing, creating a very enthusiastic atmosphere.
During the performance, Shi Shi noticed a male escort with deep, penetrating eyes; his performance seemed to always be directed towards her, intentionally or unintentionally. When the song ended, the male escort approached Shi Shi and invited her to dance. Shi Shi raised an eyebrow and declined.
It wasn't that she was chaste towards Fu Yingzhou; she had a kind of mental fastidiousness and wouldn't engage in inappropriate behavior with other men until a relationship ended.
Gu Hanyi and Yan Xuehua watched the performance from the sidelines, laughing and clapping. Yan Xuehua had already stuffed a large amount of money into the man's belt.
Gu Hanyi: "Why are you so reserved? When you're out having fun, the most important thing is to relax."
Shi Shi shook her head. She didn't mention that she had a boyfriend. As far as she knew, Yan Xuehua and Gu Hanyi were both married, and saying that would be too unpleasant.
Shishi said helplessly, "Compared to the Japanese men, I still prefer our Chinese men. They're all greasy-haired and powdered, they don't have any manly qualities at all."
She wrinkled her nose after saying that, clearly showing her disdain.
Yan Xuehua heard her words and agreed, saying, "That's true. Those Japanese devils are only good for playing around with. If you really want a man, you should look for one of our Chinese men."
After all, everyone was very busy with work, and the group had to catch a flight back to China the next morning. After having a few drinks, they rushed back to the hotel.
The following day, they took an international flight from the Japanese capital airport back to China.
Shi Shi didn't tell Fu Yingzhou when she was returning to China. Instead, she notified Kong Fang to pick her up at the airport. After several hours of travel, she didn't want to drive back to the villa herself.
As expected, the moment Shishi got into the car, she met Kong Fang's bright, sparkling eyes.
How much money is left?
Kong Fang said smugly, "That's enough for me to spend!"
Speaking of this, I have to give Kong Fang a shout-out. Although this kid is always getting swindled out of money and isn't exactly bright, he truly lives up to his name, "Kong Fang Jun" (meaning "Mr. Money").
Shi Shi had never met a stingier man in her life, neither before nor after her transmigration. Shi Shi rolled her eyes at him: "Drive properly!"
Kong Fang patted his chest and assured him, "I'll drive, don't worry!"
The car drove along and soon arrived at the villa. As soon as Shi Shi got out of the car, she saw Fu Yingzhou standing at the door.
She was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected him to be here. Fu Yingzhou stepped forward, his eyes carrying a hint of accusation, "Why didn't you tell me when you were coming back?"
