After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn Chapter 2: 06 to 10, a manhua/chinese comics/漫画 fanfic

Outside H Studio City, Da Mao and Xiao Pang, who were so angry they looked like two pufferfish, followed behind Tao Mu.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

"Is that f**ker surnamed Luo mentally ill? As if whoever Ye Yao likes has anything to do with you, what right does he have to take it out on you!"

"That's right! This pathetic crew, let's quit! So what if he's an investor! If worse comes to worse I'll call my dad and ask him to invest in the crew, we'll catapult you to the male lead!"

"How can they bully people so much!"

After bearing the brunt of the water hose pressure for an entire afternoon, Tao Mu felt both mentally and physically tired. Suddenly he stopped in his tracks, and the chattering Da Mao and Xiao Pang behind him also stopped.

H Town in July was the hottest in the year. Though the Actors' Guild would basically stop issuing actor licenses at the end of June, it still didn't stop those newcomers with star dreams coming over by any means necessary to be an extra on a set. And combined with the people who come to travel during the summer vacation, the crew's own staff and the celebrity's own team, the small H Studio City would always be packed with crowds.

But right now, the street where Tao Mu was walking on was very deserted. Occasionally, people passing by also hurried past with their heads bowed and tucked into their chests, as if they couldn't wait to get out of there—the reason being a group of shirtless and beefy extras who were gathered on the streets. For the convenience of filming or to escape the heat, a few of them had even shaved their heads, causing them to look quite fierce, like gangsters seen in TV dramas. Unknowing outsiders would naturally avoid them.

Tao Mu recognized these people. They were also martial arts body doubles hired by the crew of "Purple Cloud", but they were not the same as Tao Mu, who was a lone wolf. This group gathered together to support each other. The leader was called Gou Rixin, nicknamed Big Dog, known as brother Gou, and was actually quite a well-known group leader among extras.

Many people say that he was righteous with brotherly loyalty. However, when Da Mao and Xiao Pang met this group of people, they looked as if they were meeting their enemies—because when Fatty Liu asked someone to take them out of the crew, it was this group of people who did it.

Da Mao was furious: "F**k, this is endless! You really take me for a coward, huh?"

Xiao Pang also cursed, "Surnamed Gou, you addicted to aiding the villian, right? Is surnamed Liu your father or something, for you to show such filial respect! If you have the balls then let's have a one-on-one. If your gramps, I, don't beat you until you piss in your pants then I am your grandson!"

Tao Mu pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a pounding headache: "What do you want to do?"

As he spoke, his eyes searched the corners and under walls to see if there were any wooden sticks or bricks.

"Don't misunderstand, us brothers are here to apologize." The dark-skinned and tall Gou Rixin took two steps forward. The big fellow was about 1.8 meters tall, but standing in front of Tao Mu, he appeared a bit awkward and mincing: "This afternoon, we were not only listening to Fatty Liu. After all, you are still working in the crew, and if these two kids really cause trouble it would not be good for anyone."

This was true. But—

Tao Mu chuckled, "So what, I have to thank you?"

"That's not necessary." Don't know whether he didn't hear Tao Mu's ridicule, or deliberately pretended not to have heard it, Gou Rixin waved his hand with a serious expression: "I said it before, I just brought my brothers to apologize today. You have a hard-temper and good martial arts skills, and us brothers all admire that. I also know that today's matter, no matter how I say it, it is not something to be excused. So…"

Gou Rixin stretched out his hand and rubbed the back of his head: "A few of us have inquired around and heard that today is your birthday. So we all discussed it and wanted to treat you to drinks. One is to celebrate your birthday. Two is to apologize. Once we're at the wine table we'll definitely accept punishment and guzzle it all down. If we frown at anytime, then we are not men." (TN: Chinese custom to show apology or respect by drinking alcohol, sometimes not just 1 or 2 glasses of it either)

He seemed to rarely make such a long speech, stuttering a bit as he spoke. And the remarks were especially like lines copied from Hong Kong films. This blatant middle school 2nd year syndrome… (TN: middle school 2nd year syndrome refers to the opionated, rebellious and immature thinking that is prevalent at this period of adolescent growth. The slang came to be used for everyone exhibiting these traits so not just actual middle school 2nd years)

Tao Mu lowered his eyes, his temples aching slightly. He seemed to be coming down with a fever.

Da Mao disagreed: "Who wants you to apologize. Slap someone first and then give them a sweet? You treating us as kindergarten kids?"

"That's right!" Xiao Pang also followed up with the mocking: "And buying drinks to make amends. Who are you scaring? If you have the ability, then make amends with three knives six holes!" (TN: gang rule for making amends, basically stabbing yourself three times all the way through, hence 3 knife wounds, 6 punctures)

Being mocked like this, the group of martial arts extras behind Gou Rixin couldn't sit still anymore: "Don't be speaking like that, kid. We listened to Fatty Liu's words and dragged the two of you out. But did we do anything else to you? Brother Gou was just afraid that you'll cause trouble in the crew. The way you looked, what if you really did hit the investor—"

Da—family owns a mine fuerdai—Mao coldly snorted, "I'm afraid of him?"

"Yes, you are not afraid. What about Tao Mu? Does he still want to work in the crew afterwards?"

With these words, Da Mao and Xiao Pang became sheepish.

Gou Rixin waited until his underling had finished speaking before he looked at Tao Mu again with a sincere expression: "Brother, us brothers really admire you and want to make friends with you. I also know that you are different from us and was admitted to a film school. You're definitely going to be a big hit in the future. Me saying something like this here, might seem like I'm trying to claim connections…"

"Everyone here is an extra, so what connections?" Tao Mu waved his hand, his face was a little pale, but he said decisively: "We've decided to go clubbing at night. If you want to join in the fun then come along. I got a headache from the water hose, so I'll be going back to sleep now."

Seeing that Tao Mu had already decided, Da Mao let out a cold snort and simply reported the name of the bar. As for the time, it depended on when Tao Mu woke up.

Gou Rixin got the result he wanted, and no longer carried on. He took his group of brothers and went off to get dinner, and on the way they could pay the fee first before the three of them went to the bar—the big man never go back on his words, he said to treat them to drinks then that meant he should also pay the bill!

On the other side, Tao Mu went straight to bed when he returned to the rental house and slept like a log.

This house was helped rented by the old group extra who Tao Mu and the others met up with when they came to H Town. It was very close to the scenic areas and the commercial areas. It was only about ten minutes by walk. As for the waiting place for extras looking for a gig, it was also directly downstairs. The three bedroom and one living room house was decorated like a university dormitory. Each room was equipped with four beds, and underneath was a connected wardrobe and desk. There was a separate bathroom and kitchen outside, with a shower in the bathroom. There was also a TV in the living room. The rent was 200 yuan per bed, excluding water and electricity.

When they came back, the news that someone had made things difficult for Tao Mu only for him to amaze everyone on the set had already spread. The group extras who lived under the same roof all came over to inquire about the gossip. They were so well informed it surprised Da Mao and Xiao Pang.

However, they were worried that so many people gathered in the living room to talk would disturb Tao Mu's sleep, so they took everyone to the snack bar downstairs to talk—the snack bar had air conditioning, and the group extras had to treat the two in order to hear the gossip. It killed two birds with one stone, not only do they get a free meal, Tao Mu could also sleep well.

When Tao Mu woke up and went downstairs to look for them, he saw Da Mao and Xiao Pang standing in the snack bar, looking like two storytellers as they recounted something. A crowd of melon eating audience sat around them in a few small round tables—the tables were cluttered with bottles of beer, fried peanuts, fried clams, fried sea melon seeds and other side dishes. When something exciting was mentioned, they all clapped their hands and whistled.

The noise could even be heard across the street.

The proprietress who was listening eagerly by the counter saw Tao Mu pushing open the door and entering. She paused in eating melon seeds and said, "Hey, Xiao Mu is here! What do you want to eat tonight, this sister will treat you."

Even before she finished speaking, some familiar old customers laughed and joked: "Aiyo, different treatment! I say, lady boss, you can't just look at Tao Mu's handsome face and give him special treatment. If you want to treat people, how can you only treat Tao Mu? In any case you have to let everyone feel the good fortune right?"

"F**k your mother's smelly sh*t! You think I'm stupid! Treat you hungry wolves will mean I'll be eaten out of my little shop." The lady proprietor glanced at the old customer: "Besides, today is Tao Mu's birthday. I treat the little birthday star to dinner, that's justified. Maybe when the little birthday star becomes famous one day, he could even help me promote this little shop. But what use is there in treating you bunch of old gangsters. It's practically using meat buns to hit the dog."

The proprietress rolled her sleeves, cursed the old customers out, then turned around and yelled at the kitchen: "Old Feng, make two of your best dishes, and then give Xiao Mu a bowl of longevity noodles. Also, bring the barbecued pork that I marinated last night." (TN: again, like Ah and Xiao, Old + name is a familiar/affectionate way of calling someone)

Turning around, she smiled at Tao Mu and said, "This barbcued marinated pork is this sister's secret weapon. I don't let just ordinary people taste it."

Tao Mu smiled and thanked her. Knowing that Tao Mu hadn't eaten in the evening, the owner cooking in the back kitchen quickly served Tao Mu's longevity noodles and a plate of barbecued marinated pork. Before Tao Mu had even moved his chopsticks, Da Mao and Xiao Pang had already stretched out their paws eagerly.

The pork had been warming in the boss's big iron pot, and it was still steaming when it was brought out. The two little wolfhounds who stole the food were scalded into barking painfully, and the one with the thicker fur also did not forget to say: "This is really good. The lady boss is indeed the lady boss, she is not only good-looking, but also good at cooking. No wonder brother Feng treat you like a treasure."

The more candid Xiao Pang disagreed: "I think it's okay. It doesn't seem to be more delicious than brother Mu's. If you ask me, brother Mu's cooking skills is the real deal, the stewed chicken claws are crispy and crunchy, and satisfyingly chewy. Sprinkle sesame seeds on it and then roast it over the fire, the taste will have you wishing to swallow your own tongue." It's a pity that Tao Mu was too lazy, the number of times he cooked could be counted with his fingers.

Won't you shut up! Not even eating could shut you up!

Da Mao gave Xiao Pang a resentful look. So much to nitpick despite eating a free meal, this child really deserved a beating.

The glare had Xiao Pang feeling bewildered: "Why are you glaring at me?"

"So it turns out that Xiao Mu can cook luwei?" The lady boss' eyes lit up and she looked at Tao Mu with a smile: "Young and handsome and also a great cook, your girlfriend is definitely blessed." (TN: food prepared by stewing in soy sauce and spices)

She knew that Tao Mu could cook because she came across Tao Mu when she went to the morning market to purchase groceries with Old Feng. Apparently he was not accustomed to the taste of southern cuisine, and wanted to cook something familiar for himself. The proprietress remembered very clearly that Tao Mu made sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed fish and yellow braised lamb that time. The fragrance floating down from the upper floor when the dishes came out of the pot almost sent the gluttons in the shop to go on a riot.

Just that time left a deep impression of Tao Mu's culinary skills on the proprietress. It's a pity that they were not very familiar with each other at that time, and the lady boss was too embarrassed to go upstairs and ask for a taste.

"Of course. You better believe me, let brother Mu show off his skills to you another day." Xiao Pang put his arm around Tao Mu's shoulders and decided for Tao Mu. Only for his greasy right hand to move awat carefully under Tao Mu's gaze.

Xiao Pang's remarks reminded many old customers of the fragrant food they smelled at noon that day, and they immediately heckled: "Don't believe it, don't believe it, unless Tao Mu shows us his skills."

"Ai, you better believe me." Seeing that Tao Mu was questioned, Xiao Pang suddenly became anxious, both his face and neck was flushed: "I didn't lie, our brother Mu's cooking is first class excellent."

Including the boss and his wife, all the diners burst into laughter. Wang Ye covered his face with one hand, and couldn't bear to look straight at his stupid childhood friend.

Only Tao Mu did not react.

Relying on the bowl of barbecued marinated pork she gave away for free, the lady boss smiled and asked: "I say, Xiao Mu, are you interested in showing off your skills to this sister?"

After a pause, she added: "You don't need to prepare the ingredients, they are all ready for you in the shop. You can come here as soon as it is convenient for you."

"And sister won't let you do it for free. Let's make an agreement, if your luwei is really better than sister's. Then in the next month, you and Da Mao and Xiao Pang won't have to cook for yourselves. You three can take your meals here at my little shop. What do you think?"

Before she finished speaking, there were already customers heckling: "Yo, the lady boss is too terrible. The rich lady only keeps one handsome young guy at a time. But you be keeping three at once!"

"F**k your mother's sh*t!" The proprietress' phoenix eyes glared, and she put her hands on her waist as she cursed them out, "Dare to make fun of your mama, you don't want to live, is that it?"

The cursed out guest cupped their hands with a look of pretend fear, and everyone burst out into laughs.

The lady boss having gone to this extent, Tao Mu could not in good conscience reject her bluntly, so he had to say: "Then this Saturday. I have no scenes on Saturday, so I'll take you up on your suggestion and cook a meal. Count it as thanks for boss and lady boss taking care of us these days."

Never Night Palace.

A nightclub whose business scope and purpose could be deduced from just its name. Its decoration style was very in line with the newly rich and fuerdai's aesthetic. Even the sink taps in the toilets were gilded in gold and screamed nouveau riche.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

Two rows of female ushers in white shirts, black stockings, and uniform skirts that barely covered their thighs stood at the entrance of the nightclub. As soon as a guest pushed open the door, they would bow ninety degrees and call "welcome" in a coquettish voice, and then in a hip twisting walk they would lead the guest from the magnificent lobby to a hallway covered with oversized mosaics and flickering lights that practically blinded. Awful howling and screeching from guests singing karaoke could be faintly heard from the private rooms on both sides.

Finally, at the end of the hall, the karaoke singing gave way to dynamic dj dance music that got louder and louder the closer they approached, and then the field of vision suddenly opened up—

Young men and women who liked to go clubbing stood on the dance floor, shaking their heads and raising their arms with the deafening dj dance music. The dance girls in particularly revealing and sexy garments stood on the stage dancing, attracting howling and whistles one after another. Above their heads the colorful disco balls flickered blinding and dizzying colors as they spun crazily. At first glance, it looked like zombies were on the dance floor going wild.

Tao Mu actually felt a little uncomfortable watching the crowd dancing on the dance floor twisting waist and hips and rubbing up against chests and backs.

Before rebirth, Tao Mu was obsessed with making trouble for Shen Yu, and had no time to relax himself. Later, he was driven to quit the entertainment circle by Shen Yu's admirers, and was brought along by the Shen family eldest brother to learn to do business. As a precocious and mature business prodigy, Shen Chen himself was an extremely strict and old-fashioned person. He hated entertainment venues such as nightclubs and KTV, and even strongly opposed his family frequenting such places.

In the first few years when Tao Mu returned to the Shen family, in order to please the Shen family, naturally he would not do anything that the Shen family did not like. After being expelled from the house by the Shen family, all he wanted was revenge so there was even less opportunity for him to visit such places. Every day he was either thinking about schemes or enacting schemes, turning himself into a bitter and hate filled neurotic, and all entertainment activities were completely disregarded.

Now that time went backwards for him, Tao Mu quietly looked at the scene of the dancing crowd on the dance floor, and couldn't help feeling rueful—he felt that he was rather pathetic in his previous life. The moment he met Shen Yu, it was as if he became possessed, his IQ plummeting like a bull's sanity when seeing a bullfighter's red cloak.

[Was this the so-called protagonist halo? Whether it was a vicious cannon fodder or a big villain, so long as they faced up against the protagonist their IQ would be infinitely lowered. Was the author unable to write a normal villain?]

Tao Mu's heart jumped. After seven days of being reborn, the fragmented dreams were finally pieced together and Tao Mu basically accepted the fact that he was re-living his life over again. However, the words that popped up in his head from time to time were still startling and hard to adapt to.

Of course, by now, Tao Mu would not still suspect that he had developed schizophrenia or something. And judging from the information that continued to emerge in his head—these words were probably evaluating a novel.

According to Tao Mu's speculation, it seemed that the protagonist of the novel was Shen Yu, and he was the vicious cannon fodder used to promote plot development and emotional interaction?

"Tao Mu, what are you thinking about?" Da Mao suddenly placed a hand on Tao Mu's shoulder, and shouted with a wide smile: "Seen a girl you like? Us buddies will help you chase her. For your 18th birthday, our goal is to have you say goodbye to being a virgin!"

Tao Mu came back to his senses and gave Da Mao a shove: "Go and play on your own!"

Da Mao snickered, and dragging Xiao Pang, he jumped onto the dance floor.

Because Tao Mu had worked as a part-time waiter and bartender in a nightclub in Beijing, so the two childhood friends who often sent and picked up Tao Mu to and from work had become nightclub masters. At this moment, following the hot dance music, they began twisting their waist and hips, wildly flirting with the young ladies around them, all of whom had big chests and long legs.

Tao Mu followed them absently. When he woke up and went downstairs, he had changed into a black round-neck T-shirt, while his slender and straight legs were wrapped in ripped jeans. His skin appeared even more pearly white under the dazzling light on the dance floor. Alternating bright and dark colored lights highlighted his profile and emphasized his defined and flawless facial features. The handsome face, the tall figure that appeared slender but not frail in clothes, and the indifferent and languid aura that oozed from his pores—it all simply screamed sex appeal.

As a result, wherever Tao Mu walked by, someone would intentionally or unintentionally press up against him. Some daring young ladies even took out small slips of paper from their chests and stuffed them into Tao Mu's trouser pockets with a smile. And then take the opportunity to stroke Tao Mu's shoulders, chest, abdominal muscles and even buttocks. It had been a long time since Tao Mu had experienced his tofu being eaten by anyone so he was a bit slow in dodging, and could only accept his fate with a straight face. But that expressionless face only made him appear even cooler and more attractive.

Some boys were not happy that Tao Mu could attract so many hot girls and sexy women with just a face. Twisting their hips and dancing over to Tao Mu, they tried to provoke Tao Mu to have a dance-off with them, and prove to everyone that even the most handsome guy could turn out to be a stiff mummy on the dance floor. A group of idle melon-eaters who was only more eager for the excitement to heat up immediately gave up space, and the crowd began to whistle and heckle.

It was a pity that Tao Mu himself did not have the intention of dancing. Even if he was provoked he didn't feel like bothering to take up the challenge. But Da Mao and Xiao Pang, two fellows who get hyped up in front of an audience, jumped over and joined in on the dance off.

Gou Rixin, who had been so eager to make amends, had brought along his girlfriend and his buddies, and had been waiting for a long time. Hearing the commotion on the dance floor, he squeezed over and dragged Tao Mu and the other two to the table beside the dance floor. There were dozens of beers on the table, as well as a few plates of fruit platters and various snacks were ordered. There was also a beautiful matcha cake in the middle of the table—with a pink longevity peach in the middle that looked very out of place.

Gou Rixin threw an arm over Tao Mu's shoulders familiarly, and said with a smile: "Come, come, come, let me introduce you to everyone. This is Tao Mu, tonight's birthday star, and the main target of our apologies. This is Yu Mei, my girlfriend. What do you think, pretty?"

Under Gou Rixin's introduction, a glamorous and mature woman in her twenties with fair skin and heavy makeup stood up from where she had been sitting on the sofa with her feet propped up. She looked at Tao Mu with unconcealed surprise and appreciation in her eyes. She stretched out her slender hand towards Tao Mu and shouted: "Hello, handsome guy. Call me Mei Mei."

Out of courtesy, Tao Mu also stretched out his hand, but the moment he shook her hand, Tao Mu felt his palm being tickled.

Yu Mei blinked at him and leaned forward to reach his ear and said loudly, "Or, you can call me sister-in-law."

If Tao Mu hadn't tilted his head subconsciously, Yu Mei would have kissed his ear.

The noise interference from the dance floor was too strong. Everyone had to talk with mouth to ear or shout, so no one noticed something wrong with Yu Mei. Tao Mu calmly withdrew his hand and Da Mao leaned forward with a grin: "Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful."

Yu Mei didn't seem to hear Da Mao's words, she still stared at Tao Mu and shouted, "Happy birthday. I chose this birthday cake. Do you like it?"

"That's right! This cake was chosen by Yu Mei. But I personally added the longevity peach." Gou Rixin pointed to the peach which was very inconsistent with the cake's overall style, and smiled stupidly: "Do you like it?"

Tao Mu and the other two all had a look of realization on their faces. Da Mao laughed and said: "I had wondered why this cake style was so inconsistent. Brother Gou, your aesthetic is not as good as sister-in-law."

Gou Rixin seemed to be particularly satisfied with his girlfriend, and he smiled wide when he heard this. In contrast, Yu Mei seemed to be more interested in Tao Mu, the birthday star. When she sat down, she moved from Gou Rixin's side to Tao Mu's side and said with a grin, "How old are you, handsome guy? I heard from our family's Big Dog that your kung fu is particularly good, and you have also been admitted to the Beijing Film Academy. You will definitely be a big star in the future!"

"Come on, let's have a drink! Your brother Gou said that he offended you and your buddies on the crew today, and he will make amends tonight, and was even afraid that you would not accept it. Then you give this sister some face, let's drink a toast—"

Before Tao Mu could speak, Yu Mei added frivolously: "As long as you are willing to forgive your brother Gou, your sister-in-law will even be willing to drink a wedding toast with you." (TN: drinking with intertwined arms, formal exchange of cups of wine between bride and groom as traditional wedding ceremony)

As soon as Yu Mei said these words, several of Gou Rixin's buddies frowned uncomfortably. Of course, there were those who were not sensitive, and they still sat there heckling. Tao Mu had never liked such frivolous and overly familiar people. It reminded him of the type of guests he had to deal with when working in bars or other places in his previous life—such as those who lusted after his physical appearance, or pretended to be drunk and act unruly.

In the first few years he had just returned to the Shen family, he was reluctant to mention these experiences. However, Shen Yu's self-proclaimed protectors and white knights would always remind him in various ways on various occasions, just how lowly and ingratiating Tao Mu's past was—in order to earn a bit of wine commission, he could swallow his anger and lay on the flattery. They used this to make their case that he would do whatever it took to achieve his goals when facing greater interests, and indirectly prove that Tao Mu's personality was so hypocritical and slimy, scheming and manipulative, completely incomparable to Shen Yu's innocent and noble character.

Of course, they later proved with facts that Tao Mu was indeed such a sinister, vicious, hypocritical and jealous person.

Tao Mu never denied that he was that kind of hypocritical and self-serving person. But in matters that had nothing to do with his interests, Tao Mu was also happy to show a noble demeanor and moral character. Because of this, even if he didn't like Yu Mei's behavior very much, Tao Mu still picked up his glass and toasted in the direction of Gou Rixin: "No need for a wedding toast, I'll have a drink with brother Gou and all hard feelings will be brushed aside. "

With that said, Tao Mu drank a large glass of cold beer very decisively. Probably because he was used to not wasting anything in the orphanage, Tao Mu's drinking of the beer was also very clean. Even drinking from such a big glass the beer did not drip down his chin and getting it everywhere on the face and neck like with many people. On the contrary, not a drop was left or spilled out, and when the last drop disappeared he slammed the glass cup turned over on the table. At that time, Gou Rixin still had half of his drink left and had to bow down in defeat. While drinking, he gave Tao Mu a thumbs up.

Da Mao, Xiao Pang and Gou Rixin's martial arts brothers all slapped their hands in applause. Probably because Tao Mu took the initiative and his decisive personality meshed with Gou Rixin and his martial arts brothers so their opinions of Tao Mu and the other two got better and better. The atmosphere also became more and more harmonious.

Men, no matter how old they were, if they get together and drank too much it would always include alot of bragging. Gou Rixin, who said he was going to make amends by drinking three big glasses of beer madly slammed down three bottles of beer in actuality. And then across his girlfriend he grabbed Tao Mu's arm and began to brag about his past achievements—he claimed to be a layman disciple of the Wudang School of martial arts, saying that his kung fu was also very good. He had served as a body double for many big stars, and several of them were very popular stars currently in the entertainment circle.

"…Actually I don't think that group of people are much better than me. They just have better luck than me. If I was in front of the camera, I might not be worse than them. Action stars, as long as the movements are beautiful then it's fine. Besides, I am also not bad looking either, right?"

Saying so, Gou Rixin patted his bulging chest muscles and biceps: "Look, it's so masculine!"

Tao Mu sat next to him, looking at Gou Rixin who was currently acting like a bodybuilder with a wine bottle as weights in one hand. He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, this man seemed to have broken his leg because of a wire accident. And because he could not get timely treatment, his leg in the end became crippled.

Thinking about it this way, the luck was indeed pretty bad.

Tao Mu's own luck was also very bad, so he looked at Gou Rixin, who was also unlucky, and felt empathy for his fellow sufferer.

Yu Mei was sandwiched between the two of them. Looking at her boyfriend who was drunk and acting wildly, she rolled her eyes very subtly, and said loudly, "You got drunk again! Talking about useless things all day long. Now even bothering Tao Mu with it. Aren't you ashamed? You don't really think you can be a big star, do you?"

It seemed that he was familiar with Yu Mei's comments. The drunken Gou Rixin just smiled honestly, and replied carelessly: "Aren't we just having a small chat. I just wanted to talk to brother Tao Mu about my ideals. Isn't there such a line in the movie, one must have ideals and ambitions in life, otherwise you will be no different from salted fish."

Yu Mei sneered, and in a very familiar gesture she lit up a lady cigarette: "The way I see it, you are just a salted fish. You won't be able to turn over in this life."

Gou Rixin's buddies couldn't listen anymore, glaring at Yu Mei. Yu Mei also glared back, unwilling to show her weakness. The red lips and the cigarette in her hand all added to the shrewish look.

This atmosphere was going in the wrong direction!

Da Mao and Xiao Pang looked at each other and shouted at Tao Mu: "Shall we go dancing?"

"That's right, it's not easy to find the time to come to the nightclub so we can't just hide here and drink?" Xiao Pang smiled and went to grab Tao Mu, shouting: "Please give a round of applause for our little prince of the nightclub as he appears on stage."

Little prince of the nightclub…

Tao Mu couldn't bear to look directly, wiping his face in exasperation, as he was pushed to the dance floor by his two childhood friends.

After a few bottles of cold beer, Tao Mu was also feeling a little high. He was not as lacking in interest as when he first came in. Stepping to the music, he slid into the dance floor, and then jumped onto the center stage of the dance floor with a backflip. The simple and neat movements combined with Tao Mu's beautiful and flawless face was definitely one plus one equals greater than two hundred visual impact.

Immediately, screams and whistles came from the crowd, and even the DJ on the second floor put out a more intense and dynamic electronic music. Under the stimulation of alcohol and the screams, Tao Mu matched the intense dance music with even more sizzling break dancing. With his hands supporting him on the ground in a handstand, his legs swung rhythmically in the air, completing a succession of extremely smooth and perfect handstand bicycle kicks. Soon he switched to one-handed bicycle kicks, followed by an air flare, then a headmill with the help of inertia, and finally ending in a freeze.

The sequence of movements flowed as smoothly as water and the beautiful six-pack abs could be faintly seen under the thin black t-shirt. The dazzling display was practically bursting with sex appeal and ignited the crowd which immediately began to wolf call and scream.

In the private room on the second floor, Luo Yang, who was drinking with his friends, looked towards the dance floor subconsciously. At a glance, he saw Tao Mu showing off his skills and exuding sex appeal on the dance floor, and his eyes lit up: "It's him."

Following the eyes of his childhood friend, Li Xiaoheng also lowered his gaze with mild interest. But before he could see anything on the stage clearly, Luo Yang had already pulled his arm up from the sofa: "Let's go, let's join in as well."
