They were odd aluminum pipes that ere half yellow, and half black with sht of theood, reparations have beenyour hands on a 1966 is pretty incredible You’re the one who gave Lan Jue the one froht? Why is it you never treat me so well?”

“You?” Hua Li scoffed “It would amount to reckless waste Lan Jue is a man of taste – you’d probably use it to pick up chicks”

“I don’t believe we’ve been introduced,” Lina interrupted She looked expectantly at Chu Cheng

He looked back as he answered “Ah, yes This is another brother of ours, Hua Li Since you know Lan Jue so well, do you want to take a crack at hier at Hua Li “And don’t take off your mask”

“Ah! You… you’re Poseidon?” He underestimated Lina, who immediately sussed out Hua Li’s identity after the Lan Jue hint Suddenly excited, she barreled onward “Can I get an autograph?”

Chu Cheng’s face fell – this wasn’t the reaction he’d hoped for “This is why handsouys have no friends,” he complained “Hua Li, I love you brother but so around here, alright? This happens every tiet to have fun when you’re around”

Hua Li pulled a pen fro a napkin off of the table He scribbled his naunna have to deal with it”

“Don’t forget the cognac,” Lan Jue warned “If you try and sweep it under the rug you won’t like uys are mean as hell I’ll send someone to deliver it But we can’t just drink it – let’s stir so out”

The young and talented DJ appeared in the spot Chu Cheng’s ! What’s up? You still plan to keep this party bus rollin’?” It was clear the DJ and Chu Cheng had a familiar relationship How else could his earlier dance have been so well choreographed?

Chu Cheng approached and whispered a few sentences in to the youngnod, then left without a word

Qianlin looked toward Lan Jue with a curious expression “Are you going to dance?”

Lan Jue plucked the 1966 Cohiba cigar from its tube Carefully, he snipped a bit off the end, and lit the other end with a lighter

“I can try I suppose It’s been a long tiood time so why not?”

Hua Li smiled “I think it ether to cause some trouble”
