Chapter 69 Smoke Rings And Lotus Dreams

• Jane's impervious demeanor made mockery and humiliation useless. Ryan Thomas and Lan Xiaopeng also didn't know whether Jackie's words were true or false, treating it as a joke with Jane. They joined in the teasing, and by the end, nearly every man was drunk, returning to their rooms with their respective female companions. Even though not in a bustling metropolis, the night here had just begun.
• Jane miscalculated; Jackie was among those who drank the least. Consequently, he wasn't poisoned by the shrimp or felt any discomfort, rendering the curse of him ending up in the hospital ineffective.
• Jackie lit a cigarette, and a puff of smoke drifted directly towards Jane, sending her into a coughing fit. Jackie wasn't a smoker before. Was it the long stay in the army that made him pick it up? In their recent encounters, she could smell the unfamiliar scent of tobacco on him, making her feel he was distant. Once a person changes their scent, they might have changed their essence.
