The night that changed everything [✔]

Chapter 1

Yunlan is angry, why can't he choose what he wants to do, it's his own life after all!

But his father thinks differently, and as weird as it may seem to Yunlan the old man has been able to maintain a strong friendship with Zhu Shang throughout his life and now he wants him to marry his friend's daughter.

Yunlan is still young, he should be having fun first, he doesn't want to get married at all.

He has met the girl only once, when the two old men informed them both of their decision.

She's beautiful indeed, nothing wrong with her. Pitch black hair, cherry red lips and a perfect body, Yunlan would have nothing against the idea of going out with her for a week or two, but getting married?

He doesn't know what she thinks about the whole marriage plan. In front of her father she appeared obedient, but Yunlan secretly hopes that she might rebel and refuse the idea, making his life easier... that way he could get out of it and his father wouldn't be able to blame him.

He grunts at his own thought, it's worthy of a coward and he isn't one, but with his father everything gets complicated.

As if that wasn't enough already, now his friends are constantly teasing him, calling him 'married man' and reminding him of all the things he won't be allowed to do anymore after the marriage.

Like, for example, go clubbing.

Which is exactly what they are doing tonight.

Actually Yunlan doesn't really like to go clubbing, he's secretly a quiet guy who would like nothing more than to be left in peace, but he often does things like this just to piss off his father when he inevitably learns about it.

Also, tonight his friends teased him and insisted so much that he simply hadn't known how to get out of it.

So that's where he is now, sitting on a stool by the bar with a beer in his hand, looking around and wishing he was home alone.

His friends are all dancing and trying to approach some girls, but he doesn't like the flashing lights above the dance floor, he doesn't like the horrible noise all around, he's definitely not in the mood.

He looks around carelessly, not really watching, only letting his eyes wander.

He sees a couple of guys dressed to impress, three girls giggling together with a drink in their hands, an old guy shouting at the barman about his missing whisky, a man with his head down, a young man who looks a bit lost, a man in his thirties chatting up a girl who doesn't really look interested at all...

Yunlan drinks his beer, wondering how long he has to stay there before being able to sneak out without his friends noticing.

If they see him go out alone, they'll tease him to eternity, he can already hear them: "He's already tied up, ball and chain waiting for him at home, poor guy".

But if they don't see him, then he will simply tell them that he hooked up and went away with some hot girl...

The beer bottle is now empty and he looks towards his friends. They are laughing, entertaining some girls, this is his chance, so he gets up and moves towards the exit.

He's at the door and sighing with relief when he bumps into a man.

He starts apologising but the man is stumbling and not listening.

Yunlan looks at him and can tell that the guy is drunk.

Like, completely wasted, like, who-am-I-and-what-planet-is-this-drunk.
