Chapter 2: Brother Long

  Ye Feng didn't know much about Long Ge, who often came to show his support for him. He only knew from the conversations of people around him that his name was Long Tian, a powerful underworld boss in the local area, and it seemed that he had a very powerful background. The process of how they got to know each other was also somewhat dramatic.

  That was the second week Ye Feng came to Emperor Bar to sing, and Long Ge had also heard that a new resident singer had come to the bar, so he decided to take a look at what level this resident singer was.

  When he led the way into the bar, Ye Feng could vaguely feel that after he entered the bar, the crowd that was originally indulging in themselves began to restrain themselves a bit. The eyes looking at him had reverence, adoration, frenzy, and also hatred... Undoubtedly, this was a man who gave people pressure.

  He looked back with some curiosity, but unexpectedly met a sharp gaze that made his heart feel cold. However, he still refused to show weakness and glared back. The man just slightly raised the corner of his mouth and turned his gaze towards Liu Hai, the owner of the bar standing not far from Ye Feng, and walked towards him.

  "This little kid is the new resident singer?" Long Ge walked up to Liu Zong, shaking his head and laughing, "Old Liu, you should know that employing child labor is against the law..."

  "Dragon brother, he's a top student at XX University, studying economics, and just started his freshman year. I've also asked around, he's an orphan, his tuition is all paid by student loans, and he has a good voice, and he's handsome too, so I..." Old Liu immediately smiled apologetically, but in his heart, he couldn't figure out what Dragon brother really meant.

  "Is he an orphan?" Long Ge slightly furrowed his brow, muttering to himself in a low voice. After a while, he raised his head and said, "He looks quite handsome, and sings well too?"

  "This... I won't comment on it anymore, Brother Long you listen for yourself and you'll know." Fatso smiled mysteriously.

  Ye Feng also felt that the tall and handsome man who had just entered the bar was definitely not an ordinary person, because he rarely saw the boss Liu Hai chatting with men. Generally, he would only get along well with young girls. This bar, as far as he knew, had a monthly income of 20 million yuan, which was very easy to come by, and Boss Liu Hai could earn nearly 200 million yuan in a year. He was also familiar with both the black and white ways, so he didn't need to chat up a man who seemed not that old, but now looking at his expression, it was flattering.

  Although he had some doubts in his heart, Ye Feng still calmed down and stepped onto the stage of the bar.

  A high-difficulty song by American pop king Bruno Mars, "Nothing On You", was performed with a strong rhythmic feel.

  After the song was finished, Ye Feng was surprised to find that the man who had just walked away was the first to applaud. The man, who had been leaning on the two-seater sofa, stood up and applauded steadily and loudly, which was undoubtedly a kind of praise.

  As his applause rose, others finally came to their senses, bursting into intense applause and ear-piercing screams.

  From that day on, for half a year, almost every Friday, Ye Feng came to sing, and this intimidating Dragon Brother would come to support him. He always occupied the central position closest to Ye Feng, quietly listening to each of his songs.

  In half a year's time, Dragon Brother slowly transformed from a simple listener to one of Ye Feng's few friends who wasn't a bookworm.

  Ye Feng had never asked about Long Ge's background, despite his background being shrouded in countless mysterious colors. Ye Feng wasn't completely uninterested in such gossip, he just felt it was unnecessary to ask. As a result, his originally limited understanding of Long Ge became even more limited.

  Sometimes, Ye Feng even suspected that Long Ge liked men because he had never seen Long Ge being as affectionate with others as he was with him. Even the women who changed every month would show a respectful expression when they saw him. It seemed that only in front of himself, Long Ge was not Long Ge at all, but just an ordinary person.

  "Are you gay?" Ye Feng finally couldn't help but ask this somewhat sensitive question during a conversation.

  "Brother Long raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, casually taking a swig of beer. "Do you think I'd be short on men if I wanted them?"

  "Don't worry, I don't have any ulterior motives towards you. I just think that in this lifetime, if one can be unguarded with someone, then it's not a waste of life. My intuition tells me that if I miss this chance, maybe I won't find such a person again in this lifetime. I hope... you won't disappoint me..." Long Ge patted Ye Feng's shoulder and turned to leave...

  Those words made Ye Feng think for a long time, and from that day on, Ye Feng never asked similar questions again. Every time Dragon Brother called him to drink together, he no longer declined.

  After the Emperor Bar introduced the point-singing system, Ye Feng was most unwilling to see Long Ge, because every time this happened, he would smash a lot of cash. Because only in this way can he support himself, and he has no way to refuse. However, Ye Feng's heart is very clear, he knows that these money, later he will definitely return all the principal and interest to this man. Only human feelings debt, there is no way to repay.

  Changed into his clothes, gathered his emotions, Ye Feng took a deep breath and walked out of the dressing room.

  At this time, the bar's program had just begun. Ye Feng sat down at the counter, absent-mindedly watching the show on stage, lost in thought.

  "What's wrong today? You look a bit down, did some chick dump you?" Long Ge walked over with a sly smile on his face and sat down beside Ye Feng.

  "It's nothing, I just thought of some things when I was changing clothes." Yefeng shook his head.

  "Are you thinking of women? Do you want me to take you..." Before Long Ge could finish his sentence, a sudden commotion broke out in the crowd.

  Ye Feng and Long Ge also followed the crowd's gaze to look over. It was a woman, with delicate and beautiful facial features perfectly matched together, a head of dark brown long hair tied up in an ancient noblewoman's bun, a fiery red V-neck long dress that exposed half of her chest, and a pair of slender legs faintly visible through the slits on either side of the long skirt.

  Her appearance seemed to bring a brief moment of time standstill to the entire bar.

  When someone wanted to hit on her, they found that there was a man following behind her. The man looked like he was in his thirties, not very tall, about 1.75 meters, roughly the same height as the woman wearing high heels. However, his fierce gaze made many people who wanted to hit on her retreat.

  Some people still wanted to hit on her in the past, but after walking closer, they were all intercepted by that man and left in a hurry.

  "Coming to a place like this with something in hand, it seems that this woman is not a good person." Long Ge looked at the man's right-hand movement earlier and shook his head.

  "Are you saying that those people who walked by and left in a hurry did so because he had something hidden under his clothes?" Ye Feng was still puzzled about this question, but it was solved by Long Ge's one sentence, only then did he react.

  "Don't mind him, he's just a bodyguard, put out to show face so people won't bother us. See how low-key they're being? They don't want any trouble either. Just pretend you didn't notice and it'll be fine, just don't stare at him when we sing later." Long Ge said in a hushed tone.

  "Oh," Ye Feng nodded slightly.

  At this time, the woman also swept a circle in the crowd, dropped her gaze on Ye Feng and walked towards this direction.

  "Do you know him?" Ye Feng looked at Long Ge with some surprise.

  "Don't know, maybe he's got a crush on you..." Long Ge said with a mischievous grin.

  "Want to look up, definitely also look up at you, see her age should be about the same as yours!" Ye Feng curled his lips.

  "She'll know as soon as she comes over," Long Ge said nonchalantly, taking a sip of his half cup of cocktail, raising his head to give the beautiful woman with a fiery figure an unapologetic once-over.

  Ye Feng on the other hand was getting somewhat restless.

  "Two handsome guys, I wonder if you can invite me for a drink?" The woman walked up to the two men and made an invitation with a very professional attitude, completely ignoring Long's bold gaze.

  "Sure, how do you want to drink it, beauty?" Long Ge still had a lustful expression on his face, and reached out to touch the woman's hand. Ye Feng, who was standing beside him, secretly despised him.

  "What do you want?" At this time, the bodyguard behind the woman blocked her in front of her and stared viciously at Long Ge.

  "Ah Mu," the woman slightly furrowed her brow and glanced at the man blocking her way.

  The man hesitated for a moment and finally retreated to one side, still staring coldly at Dragon Brother.

  "I don't know who this is..." Long Ge suddenly looked at the man.

  "He's called Amu, my bodyguard. I'm afraid he's a bit of a sight." The woman's smile held a hint of enchanting mystery.

  "Oh, I see. So, beautiful lady, what's your surname?" Long Ge still had control over the conversation.

  "My name is Pearl, you can also call me Zhuzhu..." The woman stretched out her right hand with a smile all over her face, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes.

  The dragon brother who originally stretched out his hand, after hearing the woman's name, froze in mid-air for an instant...
