[Meets system target criteria.]
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment.
"System, you're a bit slow with the information this time; I could tell just by looking."
Lin Chen replied:
"Not yet."
"Me neither."
Shen Nian said,
"I was planning to go out and grab a bite, if you don't mind..."
She paused, as if weighing her words.
"Let me treat you to dinner."
She said,
"As a way to say thanks."
Lin Chen thought about it.
"Sure."
He said, but internally he was responding:
"A beautiful woman invites me to dinner; I'd be a fool not to go."
She smiled, her eyes curving into crescents,
looking like a completely different person from the one holding back tears on the plane.
"Wait while I drop something off," Shen Nian said.
Lin Chen went back to his room, put down his backpack, and washed his face.
When he came back out, she was already waiting in the hallway.
Shen Nian's figure was incredible.
"I hadn't noticed specifically before,"
"but she changed clothes specifically to go out with me!"
Shen Nian stood there in a tight black dress,
and the surroundings instantly became so quiet that only breathing could be heard.
The sharply tailored dress tightly hugged her exquisite curves,
her shoulder line was straight, her collarbones deep,
and the line of her neck was as beautiful as meticulously carved white jade.
Her waist was so slender it seemed as if it would soften at a touch,
yet it perfectly supported breathtaking curves,
her hip line was rounded and perky,
every inch was just right—any more would be too gaudy, any less too plain.
The hemline barely reached her knees,
accentuating those long legs, which were straight, slender, fair, and well-proportioned.
As she moved, her hips swayed gently,
exuding a lazy yet seductive charm,
both pure and sensual, glamorous without being vulgar.
She didn't need to try to be flirtatious;
just a casual glance from her eyes
was enough to make one's heart burn and eyes unable to look away.
This figure,
this temperament,
could be called stunning,
a single look that one would remember to their core.
Lin Chen stared, a bit dazed.
Shen Nian asked:
"What are you staring at me for?"
"What do you want to eat?"
Lin Chen said: "Anything is fine with me."
"You pick the place."
She thought for a moment:
"There's a dessert shop nearby that's supposed to be quite good. Want to go?"
"Let's go."
Lin Chen replied.
By the time the two walked out of the hotel, the night in Central had already become lively.
Neon signs were layered over each other, and pedestrians on the street hurried along.
She walked beside him at a steady pace,
occasionally glancing at him.
"I still don't know your name."
She said.
"Lin Chen."
"My name is Shen Nian."
She said,
"Shen Nian, 'Nian' as in 'to miss someone'."
The dessert shop was in a small alley; the storefront wasn't large, but it was quite crowded.
"Mhm."
She nodded and then handed the menu to Lin Chen.
"See what you'd like to eat."
Lin Chen flipped through the menu and casually ordered Mango Pomelo Sago.
She took the menu back,
and added Double-Skin Milk and Ginger Milk Curd.
"You ordered so much, can you finish it all?"
Lin Chen asked.
"If I can't finish, I can take it to go."
She said,
"The Double-Skin Milk is especially delicious; you should try some."
While waiting for the desserts, she rested her chin on her hand and looked at him.
"On the plane, why did you come over so decisively?"
She asked,
"Weren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Lin Chen thought about it:
"I didn't think that much."
"What if that person actually tried something?"
"He wouldn't dare."
Lin Chen said,
"That kind of person looks tough, but they're actually the biggest cowards."
"If he were really going to do something, he would have done it already instead of just shouting."
She smiled slightly:
"You're quite a good judge of character."
Her drink arrived.
She picked it up, took a sip, and then looked at him.
"What about you?"
She asked,
"Are you in Hong Kong for a business trip?"
"No," Lin Chen said.
"The company has a project in Hong Kong, so I came to coordinate."
"What do you do?"
"Financial investment."
Lin Chen said.
She smiled:
"That's quite impressive."
"Doing investment at such a young age."
"It's nothing special."
Lin Chen shook his head.
"And you?"
"What are you doing in Hong Kong?"
Shen Nian: "I'm here for sightseeing and fun!"
"But not by myself,"
"I agreed to come with my cousin, but it turns out her flight doesn't arrive until tomorrow."
Lin Chen: "Where are you going? It's my first time in Hong Kong too,"
"so we can hang out together if you're free."
Lin Chen's ulterior motives began to surface again.
How could a beautiful woman traveling be without a Handsome Guy?
"Since there's a chance to get close to a beauty, only a fool would waste it."
{Girl-chasing tip: You must know how to seize opportunities. When with a beautiful woman, always pay attention to the information in her words. Grasp the chance for the next meeting.}
Shen Nian: "Sure,"
"Since my cousin isn't here yet, and I originally planned to go to Lan Kwai Fong tonight, why don't we go scout it out first?"
"How about we go to Lan Kwai Fong?"
"I heard it's a famous bar area in Hong Kong."
The corner of Lin Chen's mouth curled into a smile.
"Alright, we'll go after we finish eating."
Night fell in Central, and neon lights spilled onto the cobblestone streets of Lan Kwai Fong.
Noisy music poured out from the bars,
mixed with mixed-race faces and the sounds of Cantonese, English, and Mandarin.
The scent of alcohol and perfume floated in the air.
Lin Chen walked in front at a steady pace,
his black jacket accentuating his sharp shoulder line.
Even though he was in the most bustling place,
he carried an air of cold detachment.
Shen Nian followed behind him, her heart beating a little erratically.
As the night breeze blew, the tips of her ears felt slightly hot.
"Afraid of the noise?"
Lin Chen suddenly stopped and looked back at her.
The lights fell on his profile, making his features look sharp and handsome.
Shen Nian shook her head and said softly,
"No, it's just... my first time in a place like this."
Lin Chen's eyes darkened slightly; he didn't ask further,
thinking, "Of course, the system shows your sexual experience is zero."
"You probably don't come to places like this often."
"But once a girl with this 'pure yet sensual' style enters a place like this,"
"it's easy for her to get swept up in the rhythm."
He just naturally leaned half a step closer to her,
shielding her from the crowded throng around them.
The contact was very light,
but it was like an electric current brushing against her arm.
They entered the largest bar,
SPACE CLUB (Wyndham Street, Central, the heart of Lan Kwai Fong).
Before they even entered, they could hear the loud partying inside.
Shen Nian said, "I looked it up; this is the only venue in Hong Kong selected as one of the world's top 100 nightclubs."
"The dance floor is deep and has a significant capacity;"
"top-tier sound + 360° surround lighting system, and they regularly host sets by international top 100 DJs."
"We can go to the dance floor and dance together later!"
Lin Chen nodded and said loudly, "Alright."
Lin Chen specifically chose a booth in the corner,
where they could see the excitement of the dance floor while avoiding too many interruptions.
Shen Nian sat in the soft sofa,
while the bartender performed bottle tricks behind the bar,
the crisp sound of clinking ice mixing with lazy jazz music.
Lin Chen ordered a low-alcohol fruit cocktail for her,
and a whiskey for himself.
Shen Nian's heart skipped a beat; she didn't dare look at him,
and could only lower her head to take a sip of her drink.
The taste, sweet with a hint of bitterness, spread through her mouth, mirroring her current mood.
Her fingertips gripped the fruit cocktail Lin Chen had ordered for her,
the coolness of the glass spreading through her fingers,
slightly suppressing the panic in her heart.
This was her first time in a place like this;
the music in her ears was a bit piercing, and the crowd before her was unfamiliar,
but having Lin Chen by her side made her feel inexplicably at ease.
Outside the window, people came and went, the revelry continuous.
But in her eyes, only this man before her remained.
Lin Chen looked at the tips of her reddened ears, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.
"Drink slowly. It's not strong, but don't drink too much on an empty stomach."
Lin Chen sat beside her,
his arm resting naturally on the back of the sofa,
half-circling her within his territory,
his tone carrying a subtle hint of concern.
