"Looks like I shouldn't come to the next gathering."
After Uncle Nine and his group led Qian Zhi away, Lin Chu and Zhu Yixian sat back down, and Lin Chu suddenly remarked, as if nothing had happened.
Zhu Yixian: ?
"I'm afraid I'll get a member arrested every time I show up."
Lin Chu told a bad joke. It was pretty lame, a bit of gallows humor even, but he just really wanted to say it. He couldn't help but laugh after he did.
A chubby, middle-aged club member passing by overheard this. He visibly shuddered and quickened his pace as he walked away.
Zhu Yixian: …
'Thanks a lot!'
'You're so thoughtful!'
He was struggling to come up with something to say when he heard Lin Chu add, "So, for the next gathering, you absolutely have to invite a girl group. Otherwise, I'll invite Uncle Nine instead."
Zhu Yixian's eyes went wide. He stared at Lin Chu in shock and disbelief.
He was even more shocked than when he'd seen the police making the arrest.
