387 Sun Haoming’s Past
Translator:VinceStar | Editor: PrisMiko
“The days in the past are gone. I will soon have my wife. I will also show her the photos. Tell her about you that sits next to me,
“Who will marry you? Who is sentimental? Who will comfort you? Who is a crybaby…”
After Yang Ming sang to this point, he couldn’t help but recall the past events with Su Ya. He also thought of Chen Mengyan, Lan Ling, Xiao Qing, Lin Zhiyun and even Zhao Ying…
Aren’t the lyrics of this song singing about me…
At the end of the song, Yang Ming didn’t stay any longer. He walked straight to the door. He didn’t look at anyone and didn’t say anything.
“Yang Ming…” Zhou Jiajia called, but Yang Ming didn’t stop.
“Ai!” Zhou Jiajia sighed helplessly.
Sun Haoming looked at Yang Ming’s back as he departed and quickly chased after him.
After Yang Ming and Sun Haoming left, the atmosphere of the gathering was obviously much worse. Although the two people were dispensable characters when they were there, Yang Ming’s departure had unconsciously suppressed the atmosphere.
Sui Guangqi tried to excite the atmosphere a few more times but it still had no effect. So, everyone chatted among themselves.
Yang Ming came to the hall outside the restaurant and took a long breath. Indeed, he couldn’t bear it anymore. The depressing feeling in the song was seeping into the bottom of his heart. Yang Ming couldn’t extract himself from the sadness. Worse still, he had an urge to cry loudly!
As he sat on the sofa, he couldn’t calm down for a long time. Yang Ming closed his eyes and recalled everything that happened, and the bits and pieces with Su Ya…
After a long time, Yang Ming opened his eyes, but he saw that Sun Haoming was sitting beside him.
“You miss her again?” Sun Haoming saw Yang Ming open his eyes. He sighed and asked.
“Hehe, yes, but I’m just thinking about it.” Yang Ming smiled helplessly and said, “I remember when I went to school, you often asked me.”
“En, I thought it was incredible at that time. You actually became so depraved because of a girl. In my opinion, it was impossible…” Sun Haoming took a deep breath, “But then I understood your feeling at the time later on.”
“Let’s talk about you.” Yang Ming shook his head and looked at Sun Haoming.
“Me?” Sun Haoming glanced up in surprise. His expression began to get a little hesitant. “My dad passed away.”
“What?” Yang Ming was stunned and he couldn’t react.
“You are surprised, right?” Sun Haoming nodded. “My father was sentenced to death for corruption… Hehe, it turned out that the proud father in my mind was actually a criminal of corruption…”
Yang Ming was shocked after listening to it. He had a vague understanding that Sun Haoming’s father was a senior executive of a state-owned enterprise, but his specific duties were unknown.
“This isn’t a big deal… Do you know why I have been ignoring the girls who love me?” Sun Haoming asked bitterly.
Yang Ming shook his head. He was also very confused. When Sun Haoming was in junior high school, he was loved by many girls. However, Sun Haoming showed no interest in them.
“It was because I had a childhood girlfriend. Her father was a friend of my father’s, and a colleague as well. Both families were friends spanning for many generations. I had been with the girl ever since I was young…” Sun Haoming paused here, then he sighed, “My dad was sentenced to death, and her whole family broke off with me…”
“You later on self-destructed?” Yang Ming didn’t expect Sun Haoming to experience such a huge life-changing event.
“Probably… but I have nothing. I can’t stand the gaze of others. I have nothing at home. Real estate and cars have all been confiscated!” Sun Haoming said with some desolateness, “Yang Ming, I finally know what you felt during that time…”
“Oh ya, what about your mother?” Yang Ming asked.
“You didn’t know? I was in a single parent family since I was a child.” Sun Haoming looked at Yang Ming, puzzled. Many people knew about this.
Yang Ming shook his head. He wasn’t very concerned about these things, so he didn’t pay attention. However, as Sun Haoming said, after his father fell, he really had no support!
“What are you doing now?” Yang Ming asked with some regret. Sun Haoming’s academic performance was better than his. If there wasn’t such an incident, it was possible for him to enroll in a key university.
“Nothing much. I’m just mingling around. I’m the lead dancer in several nightclubs.” Sun Haoming shrugged. “It’s a marginal figure, half black and half white.”
Yang Ming nodded and naturally knew what Sun Haoming said. People who worked in the nightclubs were somewhat connected to the underworld, or they couldn’t survive at all.
“What do you plan to do in the future?” Yang Ming asked, “You can’t be leading the dance for a lifetime right? This thing pays you income in exchange for burning away your youth.”
“En, I recently met a boss. Let’s see if I can open a place myself in the future.” Sun Haoming said.
“Met a boss? Are you going to join the underworld?” Yang Ming asked with some surprise.
“What else can I do? I don’t have any other skills right now. You also said that dancing can’t be a lifetime thing. This income is in exchange for my youth. How can I survive in a few years? The best way for someone like me who is in between both sides of the world is to join the underworld.” Sun Haoming said, “It’s easy to get in.”
“Have you thought about it properly?” Yang Ming looked at Sun Haoming and asked.
“En, I have already decided.” Sun Haoming nodded. “I thought you were still mingling around. I wanted to pull you in as a partner to do something with you. I didn’t expect you to turn over a new leaf!”
“It sounds so bad. What turning over into a new leaf? It sounded like a prostitute [1].” Yang Ming laughed in protest.
“Well, I will look for you for a drink one day.” Sun Haoming patted Yang Ming’s shoulder and said, “I’m leaving. You should stay here and play around.”
“Let’s leave together. There’s nothing worthy of nostalgia here.” Yang Ming said faintly.
“Yang Ming, Sun Haoming, what are you doing?”
Just as the two of them went to the door, they heard the voice call behind them.
Yang Ming looked back and it turned out to be Zhou Jiajia. She also had Sui Guangqi and other students come out alongside her. Apparently, the gathering was over.
“Yang Ming, Sun Haoming, why are you so anxious to go? You haven’t played enough yet. Let’s go to a disco bar together.” Although Sui Guangqi didn’t quite welcome Yang Ming and Sun Haoming, as the organizer of the party, he still had to look after the overall situation. He had to always portray himself to be caring for everyone.
“Let’s go and take a look.” Yang Ming couldn’t walk away, so he said helplessly to Sun Haoming.
“Disco bar, that’s my strength. Let’s go. I will let you see who’s the so-called dance king!” Sun Haoming also smiled and said.
As a fully-equipped resort, there was a disco bar in it. Moreover, it was the kind that was included with one ticket so they didn’t need to buy the ticket separately.
Under Sui Guangqi’s lead, the group went to the Fairy Slate Disco Bar inside the Immortal Resort.
The deafening sound effects suddenly surrounded Yang Ming’s eardrums. For many years, he hadn’t visited such a place. Yang Ming had a familiar and strange feeling.
Indeed, ever since senior high school, Yang Ming had never been to a disco bar again. At this moment, several songs were played in the disco bar. Yang Ming had almost never heard of them. Sun Haoming was obviously not a stranger to this kind of environment and soon entered the state as he danced back and forth.
“Yang Ming, come on!” Sun Haoming said as he twisted his body.
Yang Ming’s mood today wasn’t very good, so it was hard to find the flow. After attempting a few times, he had no feelings. Hence, he had to give up and sit down at a rest table on the side.
Zhou Jiajia, this kind of well-behaved baby girl… hmm, was she a well-behaved baby? She looked like it. It was just that Yang Ming thought she wasn’t. Going back to the main point, Zhou Jiajia apparently didn’t have an interest toward disco. The reason why she followed was entirely for taking care of everyone’s mood.
Along with the casual dancing on the floor, Zhou Jiajia began to look for Yang Ming’s figure. When she saw Yang Ming, she quickly walked over to him.
However, before she could take another two steps, Zhou Jiajia was stopped by two young men who looked like punks. Zhou Jiajia frowned and wanted to go around them. The two young men refused to let her go. They stopped in front of her on her left and right.
“Little sister, are you alone?” The young man looked at Zhou Jiajia’s face lewdly. He was evaluating her from top to bottom.
Zhou Jiajia noticed that these two young men were looking at her lewdly. She couldn’t help but felt disgusted. However, Zhou Jiajia knew that they weren’t good people. She didn’t want to provoke them. Hence, she turned around trying to circumvent them from another direction.
This disco bar was public. All the people who came to the resort could come here to play, so this place was mixed with crooks. Zhou Jiajia also knew that these people weren’t good people. Hence, she wasn’t planning to provoke them.
The two men noticed that Zhou Jiajia didn’t dare to resist. They thought that Zhou Jiajia was easily bullied, so they whistled with arrogance. “Sister, why are you turning away? Are you trying to let brother see your ass? It’s very round!”
“Yeah, it’s really round. Can you turn it around to let brother see?” Another young man also whistled and jumped directly in the front of Zhou Jiajia. Apparently, he wasn’t going to let her go.
“If you do this again, I will call someone!” Zhou Jiajia warned.
“Call? Right, you should call over another sister and let’s have fun together!” The young man said with a lecherous smile.
