Genuine Big Tank

“That easy?” Su Yang had assumed Li Yuanying would feel embarrassed, or that she might refuse to hold hands because of her status as a celebrity.

Who would have thought she would agree so readily? If he had known, he would have asked her for a kiss just to get them inside.

Before Su Yang could say anything else, Li Yuanying took his right hand herself. She even moved closer, pressing tightly against him.

The two of them instantly looked just like a couple.

Seeing this, the security guard nodded and gestured for them to go in and buy their tickets. “Please, go right in.”

Su Yang gave a helpless smile. “This is honestly the first bar like this I’ve ever seen. Come on.”

Hand in hand, they walked into the bar.

The interior was very dim, but unlike other bars, there was no ear-splitting heavy metal music with an overpowering beat.

Only some light music was playing, making it easier for the staff and customers to communicate.

As soon as they entered, a blonde woman in a uniform hurried over to greet them.

“Welcome to Pirate Ship. Please follow me.”

Su Yang led Li Yuanying after the waitress to an empty table, where they sat down.

The moment they were seated, the waitress took out a tablet and opened it with a smile. “You two make such a perfect couple—handsome and beautiful. You’re the best-looking couple I’ve seen in the past few months.”

“Really?” Su Yang said with a smile.

“Of course. I mean that sincerely. But back to business—please take a look. At the moment, we have two-person boats and six-person boats available. Which would you like?”

As he translated for Li Yuanying, Su Yang looked down at the tablet. “What do you think? Do you want a two-person boat or a six-person one?”

“Are there no other options?”

“She didn’t mention any, so I guess not.”

“Hmm… Then let’s take the two-person one.”

“The two-person one?”

“Yeah. The six-person boat is for three couples. What if there are some interactive activities on the boat? I don’t really like interacting with strangers when I go out.”

“Let me ask first.” Su Yang looked at the woman. “Miss, is the six-person boat open-air?”

“Yes. It’s larger than the two-person boat, and you can sit on the deck, drink, and enjoy the night view.”

“Will there be any interaction with other people along the way?”

“No. Everyone does their own thing. Each table has a dedicated staff member, so you won’t have any contact with guests at the other tables.”

“Okay.” Su Yang relayed this to Li Yuanying.

Li Yuanying thought for a moment. “If there’s no interaction, then I’m fine with it.”

“Right. The two-person one feels a little too quiet. In that case, we might as well go to a regular bar. Since we’re going out for drinks, it’ll be more atmospheric with more people around.”

“Exactly.”

Su Yang nodded and turned to the woman. “Miss, we’ll take the six-person boat.”

“?”

“Right. Is the price the same?”

“No. The more people there are, the cheaper it is. The six-person boat costs 350 euros per person, and the drinks are unlimited.”

“How much is the two-person boat?”

“Eight hundred euros.”

“That expensive? Does the two-person one come with some special ser—” Su Yang stopped himself. “I mean, special services?”

“For the two-person boat, we assign two dedicated staff members to serve the guests. We’ll also take you through some games, and when you disembark, you’ll receive some small gifts.”

“That’s all? Never mind, then. Where do we pay?”

“At the front desk. Sir, please wait a moment. You also need to choose your drinks. Each table may select three kinds of bottled alcohol and two cocktails.”

“What? Aren’t the drinks unlimited? Why do we have to choose them now?”

“That’s our policy. I’m sorry, sir, but you need to make your selections first. Once you’re on the boat, you’ll only be able to drink the beverages you chose.”

“Damn, why does this feel like a rip-off?”

“What does that mean?”

Su Yang had said it in Chinese, so the woman hadn’t understood.

“I mean, your drinks… Never mind. We can drink as much as we want of the selections, right?”

“Yes.”

“What about food?”

“The food is fixed. Once you’re on the boat, a staff member will bring it to you.”

“All right. Let’s see what drinks they have.” Su Yang translated for Li Yuanying, and the two of them lowered their heads to choose their drinks on the tablet.

Fortunately, the alcohol wasn’t too much of a scam. Most of it consisted of recognizable brands available on the market, with no cheap knockoffs. However, there were no particularly expensive options either; overall, they were merely average.

“Yuanying, choose whatever you like. I’m fine with anything.”

“I’ve had this Forget-Me-Not red wine before. It’s passable. Let’s get a bottle.” Li Yuanying tapped the Forget-Me-Not red wine on the tablet.

The wine came from a well-known winery in Bordeaux. Its prices varied, with ordinary bottles selling for forty to ninety euros in supermarkets—roughly 330 to 800 yuan. Of course, the bottle offered on the boat was definitely not going to be one of the expensive ones.

“Do you want some whisky?” Su Yang asked.

“Let’s get a bottle. I don’t really like the others.”

“Sure. Just pick any brand. They’re all more or less the same.”

“Okay, I’ve chosen two bottles. You choose the last one.”

“Then beer. That’s the simplest choice and doesn’t require much thought.”

“Okay.”

Su Yang selected a white beer called Erdinger on the tablet.

A bottle of it cost two euros in supermarkets, roughly sixteen yuan. Since most of the available beers were similar and were mainly wheat beers, Su Yang decided to try one he hadn’t had before. At sixteen yuan a bottle, it was perfectly acceptable.

After choosing the bottled alcohol, they each selected a cocktail and went to the front desk to pay.

Su Yang had paid for dinner earlier, so Li Yuanying insisted on picking up the bill this time.

Su Yang couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. It wasn’t much money anyway, so it made no difference who paid.

After paying, Li Yuanying took the two red “boat tickets” handed to her by the waitress. She glanced at them, then passed them to Su Yang. “Su Yang, I need to use the restroom. Wait for me a moment.”

“Sure. Go ahead. I’ll wait outside.”

“Okay.”

Li Yuanying turned and headed toward the restroom.

Holding the tickets, Su Yang walked out of the bar. He casually pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and headed over to the riverside to smoke.

He was enjoying his cigarette when a woman came jogging toward him.

“Hello, handsome!”

Hearing the voice, Su Yang turned around. A European plus-size woman about 170 centimeters tall and weighing roughly 70 kilograms was walking toward him with a bright smile. She had short, slightly curly hair and was wearing a sexy, form-fitting black pencil skirt.

The woman was fairly ordinary-looking, but her figure was quite striking—full in the right places, with a pronounced hourglass shape.

The neckline of her dress plunged very low, revealing a generous expanse of pale cleavage, somewhere between a D and an E cup. It was hard to miss.

The moment Su Yang turned around, his eyes naturally dropped for a closer look.

After a quick glance, he looked back at her and replied, “Hi. Can I help you?”

“Handsome, are you here alone? I’m alone too. Why don’t we team up and go on the boat together? We can have a few drinks and chat.”

Su Yang thought to himself, She got here pretty quickly. Her figure is impressive, but her face is too ordinary—and she’s too heavy.

With that thought, he smiled and said, “Sorry, miss. I’m here with someone.”

“Huh? You’ve already found someone?”

“Found someone? I’m not alone—I came with my girlfriend.”

“Oh, really? Well, okay, then.” The girl glanced at Su Yang with visible disappointment before turning away.

Watching her hips sway as she walked off, Su Yang exhaled a cloud of smoke and muttered to himself, “A genuine tank. She might be fun to look at, but she’d probably get tiring pretty quickly.”

He chuckled and turned his gaze toward the bar entrance. Li Yuanying still hadn’t come out.

Just then, another girl hurried over in his direction.

“Hello?”

A European girl in an ultra-short skirt approached from Su Yang’s other side.

This girl was even more generously endowed—around an F cup—but she wasn’t as heavy as the previous one. She was about 165 centimeters tall and weighed roughly 55 kilograms. Her features were also far more attractive than that earlier “tank’s.”

“Hello. Can I help you?”

“Hey, handsome, would you like to come aboard and have a drink with me?”

“Sorry, I came here with my girlfriend.”

“Your girlfriend? Where is she?” Without waiting for Su Yang to answer, the girl quickly stepped up to him and fluttered her eyelashes flirtatiously.

Su Yang instinctively took a step back.

Just then, Li Yuanying pushed open the door and walked out, catching sight of the scene.

“Su Yang!” she shouted as she hurried over, grabbed Su Yang’s arm, and stared at the girl in front of her with open hostility.
