Summoning melodrama (reader review and synopsis)

Gavin Brooks has once again created a super self-disciplined, new-era superman for us.

Sexual impulses and teasing are a huge challenge for a 16-year-old boy,

For a youth whose body and mind are both awakening, it’s undoubtedly a tremendous test.

Looking back at the context of 1994, traditional thinking still dominated.

A boy like this (with the mature mentality of an adult man and the incredibly open-minded views of the 21st century)

Is greatly tempted by the allure of a mature woman.

It’s also mentioned that lolis, mature women, and married women will appear one after another.

Reading this makes my heart race intensely—will Gavin Brooks satisfy everyone’s harem desires?

Xu Si is depicted with great subtlety, enchanting all, with a crystal-clear heart, a bit more cunning than a kind woman. The first female supporting character to appear is a mature woman—he pushes her down, just like that, so wicked!

The Vanished Prologue

The weather had just turned cool. After nightfall, the wind brought a chill, and the night was as clear as water. The car turned from Outer Ring West Road onto Youth Road, stretching several kilometers south from Mingcheng Grand Hotel to Jinyi Lake. Everywhere, you could see streetwalkers casting flirtatious glances at passing men.

Adam Bolton slowed the car, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, watching the streetwalkers pacing back and forth on the sidewalk after dark, their snow-white chests and thighs exposed under the greedy, yellow streetlights. Brian Foster, sitting beside him, grinned and winked, saying, “You know, there are even some with amazing figures who are actually ladyboys—how can you tell?” A few women gathered around, holding up two fingers and waving them frantically. Through the glass, you couldn’t hear what their rosy lips were saying. Brian Foster pressed his face almost against the window: “Only two hundred yuan a time—some of them are actually pretty good.”

“That would be you paying them…” Adam Bolton said with a laugh.

“Screw you,” Brian Foster exploded as soon as Adam Bolton said that, as if his nerves had been struck. “I’ve guarded my virginity for half my life, only to have it ruined by you.”

Adam Bolton burst out laughing.

Adam Bolton and Brian Foster had been classmates for seven years and were always close friends. After graduation, Adam Bolton indulged in pleasure and debauchery, while Brian Foster was still a virgin even in his final year of graduate school. This was an era when being a virgin was considered shameful. By his last year of grad school, Brian Foster couldn’t stand being a virgin anymore, so he asked Adam Bolton to take him to a prostitute, stuffing his pocket with the five thousand yuan project bonus his advisor had just given him. At the time, Adam Bolton was a client manager at Longyu Group. Because of work, he was very familiar with Haizhou’s entertainment venues, so he took Brian Foster to Shengshi Nianhua Bar, which was said to have the most beautiful girls in Haizhou, planning to help Brian Foster shed his awkward virgin status. Halfway through, Adam Bolton excused himself to go to the bathroom, placed a cigarette in front of Brian Foster with the filter facing out, and pressed the pack on top of it. Brian Foster didn’t know this was the sign for a male escort in Haizhou. He nervously glanced at the glamorous women in the bar, too anxious to approach any of them, and could only wait for Adam Bolton to pick a girl for him. Before Adam Bolton returned, a sexy, beautiful woman came over to chat. Brian Foster only had time to exchange a glance with Adam Bolton as he came out of the bathroom before heading to the hotel with the woman. In the morning, as he hesitated over how much money to give her, the woman instead pulled out a wad of cash and threw it in front of him. Surprised, Brian Foster forgot to stop her and ask what was going on. When he asked Adam Bolton about it later, Adam Bolton animatedly explained the reason. At first, Brian Foster acted furious, but before long, he was discussing with Adam Bolton how to spend the money.

That’s how close Adam Bolton and Brian Foster were.

Brian Foster was definitely not ugly—otherwise, Adam Bolton’s scheme wouldn’t have worked. The reason he was still a virgin in his last year of grad school was because of a heartbreak in high school. Later, he happened to meet that paid one-night-stand woman again, and they started a relationship. After learning that she was the mistress of the president of Haizhou Fengmao Group, Brian Foster accepted Adam Bolton’s philosophy that “men are born to seek pleasure,” and continued his relationship with the paid lover.

The car arrived at Captain’s Bar, where Popeye leaned against a giant anchor on the sign. Brian Foster jumped out, standing behind the car to guide Adam Bolton as he backed into a parking spot. Adam Bolton felt he was in place, but Brian Foster kept shouting, “Back, back, back, don’t stop!” Adam Bolton pulled out the key and got out. At the rear of the car, he said, “Back your ass! Still trying to set me up? Haven’t given up yet?”

“Wasn’t there still five centimeters to go?” Brian Foster grinned. To erase the shame of being a male escort, he’d racked his brains, but with someone as sly as Adam Bolton, he never succeeded.
