I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden)

Far away in Erhai Lake, it was quiet.

The sudden appearance of Kern always caused trouble from time to time, messing up the quite inn.

He said he wanted to swim.

Carol's eyes were popping out of her head. "You can't swim in the lake."

Kern insisted on swimming, "I'm a good swimmer and the water is clear. I won't swim far away and I would only swim on the edge of the front yard."

"But you can't swim in the lake..."

Carol looked at the handsome man who ignored what she said. He waved his hand smartly and said, "I'm going to change my clothes."

Kern was gone, and Carol looked vaguely over her shoulder at the woman.

"Boss... What's on Kern's mind? Why can't I understand what he's saying?"

The woman pouted her mouth, "He still has to stay here for a few more days. Hurriedly sell that room out on the net."

"Boss!" Like discovering a new land, Carol, with one hand covering her mouth and the other pointing to the woman on the couch, said, "Oh, I get it! Boss, you're kicking Kern out, weren't you??" The woman rolled her eyes, "You just got it?"

Carol was about to speak when she saw something out of the corner of her eyes. She stopped for a moment and stood petrified, staring, agape, at the person coming this way.

"Carol? Why open your mouth so wide...?" The woman's voice stopped abruptly. But she also looked stunned...

Kern curled his lips and proudly showed off his figure. "Do I look good?" Suddenly he squatted down and whispered in the woman's ear, "You've got it. I don't show it to most people." After a long time...

The woman kept calm and said. "You... do you feel cold?"

Kern paused... "Do you have anything else to say?

He doubted whether she was a woman.

"Boss... Look again. How am I?"

At the moment, Kern was like the fawning men of the ancient court.

The woman didn't speak. Carol pointed at Kern and said,

"Kern! You have eight-pack abs! Okay, okay, okay... It is sexy!" With that, a warm nosebleed trickled out of his nostrils. "No, no, Kern, get dressed.

But he couldn't swim in that lake."

She strongly suspected that Kern had deliberately dressed like this to show off his abs and hang out in front of her boss.

As a young girl, Carol had watched so many Korean dramas, Japanese dramas and Taiwanese dramas. In Carol's little head, there were endless romantic scenes

The assistant with Kern, a big man, stood in the corner of the hall, where showed no sense of presence, and blushed.

He looked away from his wise master.

He blushed for his master.

What trick was that? When did he learn the old-fashioned way to chase the woman?

Kern deliberately got close to the woman who showed an ambiguous smile and asked faintly,

"Mr. Lo, were you proud of your figure?"

"Am I out of shape? Am I not good?"

"Well... For a figure like Mr. Lo's, it's so ordinary. I've seen several of them."

Kern felt like being dealt with a blow. "How many have you seen?"

His point was, "You've seen."

But when it came to women, the point was... "Yes, quite a few."

"I don't believe it. I don't believe you've seen several."

"If Mr. Lo doesn't believe me, I'll prove it to you tonight. Mr. Lo, do you dare to make this bet with me?"

"In the evening? You would prove that?" With every word he uttered, there was an extra suspicion in his words. "How? Doesn't Mr. Lo dare?"

'Who said I wouldn't? But how would she prove it to him tonight?

After some hesitation, he looked suspiciously at the woman before him. "Tonight? were you sure?"

"Yes, tonight."

Kern's heart beat fast.

She would prove it tonight and it had to do with the shape... Would she want to...

"Okay, I'll bet with you."

"Well."

"Wait a minute. What's the bet? What's in it for me if I win?"

An evil smile flashed by his eyes. He was a merchant, and a merchant would have benefits in mind.

The woman lowered her eyelids to hide the smile in her deep eyes.

"Well, you decide."

When she raised her eyes, the smile was just fading away, but facing the sunlight, it reflected a strange beauty.

Kern's heart gave a quick jump and his throat moved slightly,

"Well, I will decide. Would you agree to everything I decide? Everything I offer?"

"You were annoyed."

Kern was laughing evilly. The girl was fed up with him, but she didn't know she was in his trap.

He couldn't have been more confident about his own shape, and he couldn't know how she proved that it was so average.

Kern felt like he had the potential to be a good cheater.

The woman bowed her eyes and nodded.

The night was getting dark.

Kern had thought of all the possibilities in the afternoon, and he had thought of countless scenes. There was her shy look, there was her amorous seduction... That was right! Kern, shamed in his fantasy, got erected.

He was coming out of the bathroom when there was a knock on the door.

Before opening the door, he lowered the collar of his bathrobe deliberately.

"Why is you? Where's your boss?"

Carol put her hands on her nose and said, "Kern, get dressed. The boss is waiting for you in the parking lot."

"The parking lot? Why go to the parking lot? Hey, Carol, don't we go..."

"I'm dying, Kern, I'm hypoglycemia. Anyway, I'm leaving. You have to get down here. The boss will get angry if you're late." Carol grabbed her nose and ran away.

Kern did not know why, casually changed a shirt, and went out of the door.

There was a small parking lot in the inn. It was called a parking lot, but it was actually just an empty lot.

Kern saw from a distance that the woman was already waiting beside the car.

Taking a few strides, he shouted, "Don't you say you would prove it to me tonight?"

"Yeah, I am going to prove it to you."

Kern squinted... "Where were you taking me to?"

"Dali Ancient City." She got into the car first and said, "Mr. Lo, you remember the way, don't you?"

Kern calmly got into the car to see what she wanted to do.

But no matter how much he tempted her along the way, she kept quiet.

Then they reached Dali Ancient City. Kern followed her all the way into an old bar street.

On both sides of the main road, there were more than a dozen lively bars, each with its own characteristics, singing folk songs or pop songs.

There were both male and female singers in residence.

Instead of going in, she turned into a small alley, which was the only bar in the alley.

"What are you bringing me here for?" Kern watched the male dancers wiggle on the stage in the middle of the bar, surrounded by women screaming and stuffing money into their thongs... He had a bad presentiment in his heart. "I've got business to do. I'm leaving now." Then he turned and went away.

But an arm took him by the arm, "Mr. Lo, a bet is a bet. If you win, you can raise any demand. If I win, can I ask for any demand?"

"If Mr. Lo wants to leave now, you are throwing in the towel. Then please check out and leave the Memory Inn. As for Mr. Lo's loss, I will pay for it."

She wasn't stupid. She was so familiar with the way Kern was looking at her. The way was so familiar that made her painful.

No matter what his purpose was, just for fun or just take it as a joke, she had to accept it.

If it was a game, then she couldn't afford to play with him, and she had to send him away.

If he was serious, then... she had to pretend that he didn't know it and it would be good for her to see him off.

In a word, he couldn't give her any hope, which was her tenderness towards a stranger whom she met by chance.

The light in the bar was so dim that she could not see the cold on the face of the man next to her or the shadow under his eyes.

When he did not speak, she said, "Mr. Lo, let's go."

When she was about to go, she was pulled back, and he said with no emotion, "There is no stake at all. Your intention is to get rid of me, right?" Unable to hear the emotion, she inexplicably trembled, "It is a good decision for you."

Hearing that, the man beside her laughed. He stooped and leaned over, and hot breath suddenly ran in her ear,

"I will bet with you."

He said it quietly in her ear, and the woman felt his arm left, the heat around her dissipated, and suddenly she heard screams coming from her ears. She unconsciously turned to look at the figure on the stage... She was stunned.

She only wanted to frighten him, to frighten him off, but he did not expect that the man would really put down his dignity and walk up the stage.

He was the darling of the spotlight and suddenly caught everyone's eye.

Unbuttoning the buttons one by one, he made the girls scream for him. The most ordinary shirt buttons, at his fingertips, became the prime culprit of countless women screaming under the stage... It was so charming.

As the buttons came undone at his fingertips, and as the shirts fell apart, the women below, screaming, "Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!"

They threw money on the stage.

The man on the stage, with a simple movement, took off his white shirt, and suddenly, the screams almost drowned the music.

And the man, through the screaming audience, looked in the darkness, and precisely found the woman.

She stood there erect, and the man's glance inexplicably... made the pain coming to her again.

She was under the stage. Her lips slightly white, but under the light, the paleness could not distinguish. She opened her mouth, said to the man on the stage, "It's enough."

The music around her and the screams were so loud that the man couldn't hear what she said at all.

But the man sneered at her as he saw her saying "Enough." Instead of stopping, he moved his hand to the belt of his suit pants.

"Ah! Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!"

In the eyes of countless women, the man twitched his belt...000000
