Midnight Forest Bar.
The deep bass of electronic dance music hit everyone's eardrums like waves.
The air was thick with a blend of alcohol, perfume, and hormones.
Xu Hao, with his arm around a sultry woman, swayed his body casually to the beat of the music.
The woman exhaled a fragrant breath, tracing circles on his firm chest with her fingers:
"Brother Hao, don't leave tonight, okay?"
Xu Hao suddenly let go of her and gently pushed her away, a roguish smile on his face:
"Can't do that, need to get up early tomorrow to see my mom."
"Using your mom as an excuse again."
The woman pouted, unwilling to give up, clinging to him: "You're almost the busiest person in East Capital now."
"Of course, I'm filial."
Xu Hao laughed heartily, ignoring her pestering, and turned to squeeze out of the crowded crowd.
Passing through the bustling first-floor hall, he returned to his own resting room upstairs, where the world instantly quieted down.
