Chapter 1459: Chapter 1281: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

She knew her alcohol tolerance and naturally dared not drink much, but she kept holding the wine glass, sipping a little now and then, appearing very professional.

Yuelian began to play, but her mood was clearly not good, hardly smiling. Yet, she looked pretty with sadness in her eyes, making her appear even more pitiable. If she were a man, he would surely be mesmerized by her, wanting to cherish her dearly.

Xia Dabao turned to look at Long Aixi sitting beside her, who was also listening to the music, appearing very focused. Xia Dabao felt somewhat displeased and tapped Long Aixi, "Does it sound good?"

"It’s fine. It’s a piece about the emotions between men and women, just a bit melancholic," Long Aixi, who understood music, could tell.

"Then just listen to it. Why keep staring at the lady? When we came out, we agreed just to have fun, not to take it seriously. If you do this, how will I explain to Jianxi when I go back?" Xia Dabao asked angrily.

At first, Long Aixi felt somewhat wronged, but then, thinking it over, she looked at Xia Dabao with renewed interest, "Are you jealous?"

"Jealous? I am a man!"

"Right, we are men with special tastes and transgender," Long Aixi said calmly. However, she was not looking at Yuelian anymore, but kept her gaze fixed on Xia Dabao.

Xia Dabao added, "Why do you keep staring at me?"

"To keep you from getting jealous," Long Aixi laughed.

"..." Xia Dabao was at a loss for words and then called out to Yuelian across from her, "Enough, stop singing. It’s all so sour, you’ve turned a good mood sour. If you care so much about chastity, why enter such a place? There’s a saying that one can’t help getting the shoes wet if always walking by the river. If you enter such a place, you should know you can’t come out clean!"

Xia Dabao was no stranger to such places. She used to sell lychees in the county and had passed by these kinds of places, coming back to ask her mother, who had honestly told her about the situation inside, saying most of the ladies inside were pitiable and would not be there if not for their livelihood.

Upon hearing this, Yuelian began to weep again, "I was only here because my family fell into hardship, and I needed to take care of my old and young family members. I mentioned before coming here that I would only sell arts and not my body, thinking of earning enough silver to leave with my dignity intact. But last night, a flower thief came and... he... he..."

"A flower thief? What did this flower thief look like? My brother and I are just people who can’t stand injustice in Jianghu. If we encounter him, we’ll teach him a lesson on your behalf," Xia Dabao said while lying comfortably in her chair, tossing a peanut into the air. Although it nearly hit the beam on the ceiling, it landed neatly in her mouth.

Seeing this, Yuelian believed Xia Dabao was a person from Jianghu, knowing she was skillful. She slowly recounted the events of the previous night, "That flower thief came in through the window while my client was listening to the music, wearing a veil. He knocked out the client and then... then he carried me over and pinned me down, so that I could call but would not be heard."

Xia Dabao shuddered. It was a true human atrocity.

But how exactly did it go, being able to call but not be heard?

She could only imagine.

Although it was a tragic event, Long Aixi couldn’t help but frown upon seeing Xia Dabao looking utterly blissful.

She truly regretted bringing her along.
