Chapter 30 The Host's True Colors Revealed: A Perverted Performance

The water was spilled, and Wen Bai stood there, motionless.

Now that his injuries had healed, he was no longer weak and frail like before.

Wen Bai snorted coldly in his heart.

In a battle of strength, he would never lose now.

He even cleverly took a step back, looking at the person drenched head to toe in water, and began to distance himself: "You spilled this yourself, it has nothing to do with me."

Jian Tianzong, now doused with ice water, had no thoughts left for anything else.

Seeing Wen Bai again, he wasn't thinking about anything; all he saw was anger.

That's right, the ice water Wen Bai had poured for him wasn't just cold water; it even thoughtfully included a few sharp-edged ice cubes. Those ice cubes even bounced on Jian Tianzong's head before falling onto his pants.

Jian Tianzong didn't even bother with the ice on his body. He seemed covered in frost: "Haven't seen you for a few days, your courage has grown."

"I heard you made new friends. What, did your new friends give you confidence? Do you think this job is dispensable? Or..." He stopped, about to continue, after noticing Wen Bai's slightly askew collar.

The earlier struggle had pulled open Wen Bai's already loose collar a little. The crooked neckline revealed a狰狞 (zhēngníng - fierce/hideous) flesh-pink scar inside. Although only a corner of the scar was exposed, it was evident how severe the original injury had been.

He had indeed suffered such a serious injury.

He had asked Jian Tianle to check before, only thinking it was a minor issue.

At the time, Jian Tianle hadn't mentioned anything about Wen Bai's condition being so serious.

But he couldn't blame Jian Tianle. In Jian Tianle's eyes, his brother was just playing around and didn't take Wen Bai seriously at all. He was just told to go through the motions. Furthermore, due to a series of misunderstandings, Jian Tianle mistakenly believed Wen Bai had a new sugar daddy and planned to use him to deal with his brother.

Jian Tianle had eagerly anticipated his brother's expression upon realizing he had been dumped by his young lover.

Jian Tianzong frowned and stood up: "Forget it, I'll change my clothes."

Until Jian Tianzong left, Wen Bai remained standing there foolishly. Had his job been taken away?

Since the boss hadn't said anything, Wen Bai decided to arrange his own work.

He walked out of the room and towards the area where the sound waves were so loud they almost shook his hair off.

Headache...

The sound was too loud. He felt his temples and heart throbbing in time with the music, his scalp felt like it was about to explode.

He stood there, feeling momentarily unable to breathe.

A nearby attendant saw Wen Bai standing still: "Why haven't you changed your clothes? Change them first."

Wen Bai was pulled into the staff room behind the scenes.

The person shoved Wen Bai's clothes into his hands: "If you get caught, you'll be fined."

Wen Bai looked at the uniform in his hand. It was identical to the ones worn by those serving drinks and the people behind the bar. It was the work uniform for this place.

He silently accepted it and went to the changing room to put it on.

The person reflected in the mirror was wearing a white shirt, a small waistcoat, and a black bow tie. Coupled with his delicate doll-like face, he looked quite refined and cute.

Wen Bai walked out. The person who had pulled him in was nowhere to be seen. Instead, another person's eyes widened upon seeing Wen Bai.

This person had long, narrow eyes and an approachable, big-brother demeanor. He started talking to Wen Bai incessantly.

"Wen Bai, you're back? I thought you wouldn't be coming back to work. I heard about your family's situation. Think of it in a positive light; it's not all bad. What are your plans for the future?"

Wen Bai looked at the person in front of him and said without hesitation: "Work first."

He then started to walk out. The other person followed Wen Bai, whispering, "That's right, that's right. See, now you can work with peace of mind. You can also do the things you've always wanted to do, Wen Bai..."

The person continued to chatter, but Wen Bai didn't hear what came after because he saw the target of his visit today had already appeared.

Jian Tianle was in the lounge booth, greeting his friends. However, the atmosphere was a bit subtle.

In this noisy environment, covered by music, neither side noticed anything amiss.

The news of Jian Tianle being ambushed had already spread within their social circle.

He knew that the news of his ambush couldn't be kept secret, as another friend had been present at the time.

But he didn't know how terrifying the rumors had become.

He thought his friends knew he had been retaliated against by a competitor.

However, after rounds of transmission, his friends' information had settled on the most absurd version: A man had taken a liking to Jian Tianle, but Jian Tianle was too straight, and the man's advances were repeatedly rejected. Unable to win him over, the man became enraged. In his anger, he followed Jian Tianle. After following Jian Tianle for a month, he found an opportunity, disguised himself as a designated driver, and intended to do this and that to Jian Tianle while he was drunk and defenseless.

But before the man could do "this and that" to Jian Tianle, he had only just managed to drag him out when his friend in the back seat, who had suddenly woken up, discovered him. Because that friend had immediately called the police, and reinforcements arrived in time, the second young master Jian's purity was preserved...

Therefore, his friends were genuinely there to apologize, feeling that this matter was too serious for a straight man.

Especially the one who had called the designated driver, he felt he had set up his brother. When Jian Tianle asked him to drink that night, he downed it in one gulp without a second word! Three cups in one gulp!

Although Jian Tianle didn't say it, such things are hard to talk about.

But there's nothing that a meal and drinks can't solve. Tonight, he had to make Jian Tianle happy. They would apologize to the fullest extent!

So, a group of people were fiercely toasting here, as if drinking these wines would make the past events as if they never happened.

Jian Tianle didn't want to drink and was listless. He had originally wanted to find Lin Shuangshuang, but lately, he kept hitting dead ends. He didn't even know if she was politely refusing him or if she was genuinely busy.

His other friends saw that Jian Tianle was not in high spirits, and since they were there to apologize, they didn't force him.

They say it takes a hundred days to recover from bone injuries. They heard that Jian Tianle had also suffered some injuries and needed time to rest.

Jian Tianle just found it strange. Usually, these buddies would find ways to get him drunk, but this time, when Jian Tianle said he wouldn't drink, no one egged him on.

He used his injuries as an excuse, and no one said anything.

This was very rare!

However, now that he had an excuse not to drink, why wouldn't he seize the opportunity to toast his buddies?

Jian Tianle signaled the nearby attendant to bring more wine. He himself was holding a glass of plain water and toasting everyone, having a great time inside.

So, when Wen Bai, dressed in uniform, appeared with a bottle of wine in his arms, Jian Tianle even momentarily wondered if he was drunk.

He suddenly remembered that he hadn't touched a drop of alcohol tonight.

Wasn't this Wen Bai, whom he had been extremely displeased with recently, who had been brushing him off and playing hard to get by not replying to messages and disappearing?
