Chapter 1331: No Talented Ones in Jiangshan
People always say celebrities are all glamorous, but Jiang Feng had finally seen through it—their hearts are actually very lonely.
Take Mo Zixun for example. They say "the guest bullies the shop" and that she has freedom of movement, but that's only relative. Most of the time, she's still a caged bird who "can't control her own life."
There's no helping it, that's just how this industry is. If she wants to bask in that dazzling spotlight, she has to obey this line of work's rules. You gain some, you lose some.
Besides, this was a path she chose herself, so Jiang Feng couldn't really say much.
After that, Jiang Feng accompanied Mo Zixun through the rest of the whole snack street, trying all kinds of local specialties.
Mo Zixun ate to her heart's content, feeling like she'd never tasted such delicious local food before. She actually found herself reluctant to leave this tiny little food street.
Seeing that Mo Zixun had almost had her fill, Jiang Feng said, "Alright, time to head back."
"No!"
Mo Zixun had been in high spirits, and the moment she heard that, she immediately said, "I'm not done having fun yet! It's so rare I get to come out, I don't want to go back. Brother Feng, are you tired?"
"Not really. It's just that there's nothing else to see on this street, we've reached the end." Jiang Feng explained.
Mo Zixun got a bit anxious. She'd already decided Jiang Feng was going to spend the whole afternoon with her, and they'd barely gotten started. Of course she was reluctant to go back!
Suddenly she looked carefully and saw that across the road, lots of young people in groups of threes and fives were pouring into a huge entertainment venue. She hurriedly grabbed Jiang Feng's hand and said, "Brother Feng, that place over there looks really lively too, let's go take a look?"
Jiang Feng glanced over. The storefront décor looked a lot like a KTV, but it turned out to be a large indoor skating rink.
Skating might sound ordinary enough, but for Jiang Feng it went back many years and stirred up some long-buried memories deep in his soul.
He remembered back in the Capital City, at Yanqi Lake, Shi Cha Hai, Baiyi Lake and so on beneath the imperial city walls, there were traces of him skating all over.
Back then, every winter in the Capital City, goose-feather snow would fall, the world would freeze solid, and skating on the thick ice was one of his few happy childhood memories.
It was just that later on, winters in the Capital City weren't as cold, the ice wasn't thick enough to bear weight, so skating turned into rollerblading instead. Murong Qian used to keep him company all the time back then!
"You know how to skate?" Jiang Feng's eyes went deep for a moment, then he turned his face to look at Mo Zixun and asked.
"No, but I can ski!" Mo Zixun said with a straight face.
"Two different things."
Jiang Feng chuckled. "If you want to go, we can go in and take a look."
"Okay!"
Mo Zixun had just been acting on a whim, looking for an excuse to drag Jiang Feng around a bit longer. She hadn't expected Jiang Feng to actually show a hint of interest too. She quickly slipped her arm through his and giggled, "Brother Feng, so you can skate? Then you have to teach me."
Jiang Feng neither agreed nor refused.
He actually wasn't sure if he could still handle ice skates, but his thoughts really were wandering a bit, as if he'd drifted back into the scenes of his memories.
...
Skating might sound like just some ordinary amusement, but that's really not the case!
For people who've never skated to put on skates, keep their balance, and even pull off some tricks is anything but easy—and the sport itself is way more exhilarating than most people imagine!
Mo Zixun followed Jiang Feng into the rink purely out of curiosity and the thrill of something new, but once she actually went in, she discovered everything was completely different from what she'd imagined!
The place was massive inside. A dozen huge moving lights rotated on the ceiling, casting multicolored, mottled beams along with the music. Sometimes they gathered into patterns on the floor, sometimes they scattered like a swarm of tadpoles, crawling across the walls and ceiling, creating a dazzling dynamic effect!
Deafening DJ beats boomed through the entire venue. Forget people's eardrums—even their hearts would tremble nonstop from the massive sound waves!
So the moment anyone walked in, they'd feel their blood boiling, filled with an impulse to let loose and go crazy!
In the middle of the rink there was a tall round platform. Right now a few gorgeous girls dressed in extremely revealing, sexy outfits were holding hands and spinning wildly with the music on top of the platform. It was just like they were performing acrobatics—their skates in a "big V" or "straight line" posture, only able to slide along the edge of the platform.
As they spun faster and faster, wind whipped past them and a powerful centrifugal force flung them outward in all directions. If they weren't holding hands, they'd probably go flying off at any moment.
But that gave them a thrill beyond imagination, so they clutched each other's hands even tighter, screaming and shrieking with hysterical excitement.
The multicolored lights shone on their snow-white thighs and bare midriffs, casting an enticing kaleidoscope of colors over them. Around them, a pack of wolfish guys were already holding hands, skating in the opposite direction around them, together weaving a scene of wild, fevered excitement!
On another part of the rink, a train-like line of people was playing the "railroad" game.
Anyone who's actually skated before knows this is a very common way to play. A highly skilled skater leads the way at the front, with dozens or even over a hundred people lining up behind. Everyone in the back grabs the waistband of the person in front, following their moves together and sharing in a real-life version of speed and passion!
Along the very outer edge of the rink was a ring of stainless steel railings for beginners to practice with. Here you could see quite a few newbie girls being "taught" skating techniques by boys pretending to be gentlemen—when in reality they were just using it as an excuse to cop a feel!
Since ancient times, skating rinks have always been a much easier place to pick up girls than movie theaters or KTVs. The environment is everything, and a true skating pro never has to worry about missing chances to cop a feel!
...
Mo Zixun's beautiful eyes went wide as she stared in disbelief at the "chaotic" scene before her.
Her eyes were really opened today. She felt this place was way more intense than any quiet bar or similar venue she'd ever been to!
The ladylike part of her that she usually kept carefully suppressed suddenly boiled over. She stared unblinkingly at the girls in the middle of the rink spinning like tops, then suddenly grabbed Jiang Feng's hand excitedly, bouncing like a little girl as she cried happily, "This looks so fun, this looks so fun! Brother Feng, I want to play too!!"
Jiang Feng gave a faint smile. From what he could see, there were indeed a few pretty skilled skaters out there having a blast, but compared to how he'd been back in the day, they still fell short.
Seems like Jiangshan hasn't produced any truly outstanding successors in a few generations. The "waves of the future" still couldn't match him, the "wave of the past."
"Come on, let's go change into skates."
Jiang Feng, for once, also had a bit of childlike excitement and a rare urge to relax. He took Mo Zixun's hand and headed toward a corner.
At the same time—
A few playboys already wearing skates out on the rink had long since set their sights on Mo Zixun!
They came to places like this all the time, so they could naturally tell the difference between an ordinary beauty and an absolute knockout!
A top-tier stunner like Mo Zixun, with fair, tender skin and exquisite temperament—someone you might not see once in a hundred years—was not someone they were going to let slip away!
Right then, they were all getting restless!
If Mo Zixun turned out to be good at skating, they could very righteously invite her to play together. In a place like this, men and women mixing together is nothing unusual.
And if Mo Zixun was unsteady on her skates, that would be an even bigger heaven-sent opportunity!
They could step up and "offer their help" all righteously, and even get handsy all over. It'd be hard for Mo Zixun to resist or fight back!
