Chapter 38: Elder Sister Mengmeng

  The bar is a lively place, I've been here watching many stories unfold with cold eyes. Now, their arrival seems to me just another stroke in the story. As for us, we don't mind having fun while observing with cold eyes.

  Endless

  The car stopped in front of the Linlang Bar, and Su Yitian stood outside waiting for Su Yixiang to come out. The sound system inside was very loud, even with soundproofing, you could still faintly hear the noise inside.

  The endless stream of cars, the dazzling neon lights that filled the streets, and the starry sky with a crescent moon. Su Yi Tian gazed at the moon in the sky, lost in thought, and the slightly unstable emotions of these days gradually calmed down.

  "Sui Tian... is waiting."

  "Huo Ling... how did you drink more than me... Xuan Qing doesn't have any either... I don't want yours."

  Lai Huo Ling and Su Yi Xiang supported each other as they stumbled out of the private room. Su Yi Xiang had one arm around Lai Huo Ling and the other hand against the wall, and when he looked up, he saw a black figure flash before his eyes.

  Su Yi shook his head: "Xiao Yue?"

  "Sui Xiang... what are you shouting about?" Lai Huo Ling followed the direction Sui Xiang was pointing, but only saw a fleeting figure, and after being stunned for a moment, laughed and said, "You're seeing things... how could that be Xiao Yue."

  "Really... how could it be Little Moon... Little Moon wouldn't dress up like a... hmm, like a little sister." Su Yi Xiang chuckled and shook his head, supporting Lai Huo Ling as they continued walking outside, "Let's go... Brother is still waiting for us outside."

  Su Yitian raised his hand to check the time, saw that the person had not come out yet, shook his head and walked into the bar with a helpless look. It was very noisy inside, people were coming and going in the bar hall, all kinds of people were there, waiters were holding up trays of drinks and shuttling through the crowd.

  "Ying Mei Jie, have you sent over the seven bottles of wine for the private room?"

  Su Yu Tian saw a fourteen-year-old boy sitting on a high stool next to the counter, holding paper and pen, shouting loudly.

  "Right away...... Ah, excuse me."

  Although the hall was noisy, Su Yitian still heard the responding voice. A somewhat familiar voice, Su Yitian looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl holding up a wine tray struggling to squeeze out from the crowd, only to turn around and dive back into the crowd after a few seconds.

  She? Su Yitian came back to his senses from the shock, pushed through the crowd and chased after her, but the figure that was visible just a moment ago was instantly engulfed by the crowd. Su Yitian tiptoed in the crowd, vaguely seeing that the person's shadow was running towards the bar from another direction.

  "Damn it! Sorry...... Please let me through."

  She caught up and Su Yitian turned her shoulder: "You——"

  The woman holding the wine tray looked puzzled, turned her head around, and the man in front of her made her eyes light up. Not bad, he's even more pleasing to the eye than that Morning Dew guy. She didn't scold him for his rudeness, but instead took over the conversation with a smile: "My name is Miao Miao, handsome boy looking for me?"

  "Xiao Meng?" The girl in front of her, with heavy makeup, had a similar look to hers, but the attire was very similar. Had she been thinking about her too much lately, so she saw things wrongly? It wasn't her. Su Yitian felt embarrassed and smiled calmly, "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

  Her sparkling eyes, raised eyebrows and smiling face, Zhang Yang said: "It's okay"

  "Brother!"

  Su Yi Tian turned around and saw Su Yi Xiang and Lai Huo Ling walking towards him, their faces filled with a joyful excitement that was like the sudden appearance of flowers after a long period of gloom.

  Su Yi Xiang had just walked near and saw that Su Yi Tian was still with someone, so he shook his head in confusion and said: "Ah, Xiao Yue?"

  Su Yi Tian reached out to support Su Yi Xiang: "You're drunk, her name is Meng Meng, not Han Yue."

  "Oh, it seems not, then what I saw just now was also you." Su Yi Xiang whispered on Su Yi Tian's body.

  "You're drunk like this and still going to attend the meeting? Aren't you afraid of being scolded by the dean?" Su Yitian supported him, her tone carrying a hint of displeasure.

  "Director, he... He never asks about us... Only knows how to busy himself with business and socializing!" Su Yixiang's ambiguous low voice revealed a rare hint of resentment.

  Su Yi stood silently, her eyes also showing a rare complex expression. She sighed and shook her head. Alas, it's better for me to go back myself, I'll come back to pick them up again later.

  Meng Meng glanced at the figure wiping wine glasses with his back to them behind the bar, and smiled with a friendly smile: "Do you need help?"

  "Uh, find two rooms to accommodate them, I'll come back for them later." The woman in front of him indeed had a unique charm, beautiful and intelligent. This made Su Yitian have a good impression of her, politely nodding his head in gratitude.

  "Ah!" Mengmeng shouted loudly at the boy, "Help move these two to the private room." As she said that, she herself helped Lai Huo Ling walk away.

  Watching them leave, the bartender in front of the bar continued to play with the cocktail shaker, with a faint smile and a faint sentence: "Shadow charm, they're gone."

  The person who was wiping the wine glass with his back to others turned around, with a bright and cheerful smile: "Wine brother, thank you, I'm going to work." But before he left, he was called back again.

  "Ying Mei, you go take care of those two people who were just sent to the private room." Meng Meng stared at her, suddenly hooking out a smile, "You just threw the wine tray at me, I haven't even settled accounts with you yet."

  Ying Mei's eyes changed, and she smiled: "Meng Meng sister, I——"

  "Alright, no refusal, go take care of them now." Mingming waved her hand, her commanding tone brooking no argument.

  Ying Mei had no choice but to nod in agreement, pouting her mouth. There was no way around it, Meng Meng was a stubborn person who always got what she wanted, and although she was only two years older than herself, her management and leadership skills were very strong, earning her the respect of everyone in the bar as "Big Sister".

  "Brother Jiu, get me a drink." Mengmeng leaned against the bar, watching the departing figure with an inexplicable smile. Shadow Charm? Is it Shadow Charm or Han Yue, no matter what, let me see your skills.

  Jiuge poured a glass of drink and shook his head with a smile: "Mengmeng, are you intentionally making things difficult for her? You clearly know..."

  "What do you know?" Mengmeng retorted with a smile and left, "Me? I don't know anything."

  It's been eight years, and the ten-year-old girl who was sent here back then is now a big sister. She lost her parents and grew up quickly in this environment. In the blink of an eye, she has become one of the big sisters here. Gradually, her thoughts have become harder for him to guess. Wine Brother smiled, this little girl is more and more like Morning Dew.

  Ying Wei walked into the room and called out a few times, but no one responded. He walked to the bedside, gently covered Lai Huo Ling with a quilt, and helped her wash her face with warm water. Looking at her suffering expression, he let out a soft sigh and left.

  (Cold Moon, didn't you say you'd give me your body at night? Why are you suddenly coming out now?)

  You're an irresponsible person, I can't let you do whatever you want.

  Ha, you don't trust me, or rather, you're afraid I'll hurt those two.

  That's okay too.

  He gently opened another door. As he approached, the person on the bed lay on their side with their back to him. Han Yue helped him lie flat and used a towel to wipe him down.

  The towel gently wiped across her face. Su Yixiang, why do you have such a sad expression like a child? Suddenly remembering the unusual look that occasionally flowed out of Su Yixiang's daily life, she was stunned and sighed. Alas, this emotional thing is indeed untouchable.

  Suddenly, Su Yixiang opened her eyes and grabbed her hand: "You... who are you?" Su Yixiang didn't sleep to death, feeling cool on her face, she opened her eyes.

  The person in front of her wore a black short-sleeved shirt, fluffy red lantern shorts, and long black hair scattered about, giving off a lazy and casual vibe. As she approached him, he caught a whiff of a familiar scent. Su Yi Xiang opened his eyes to see who it was, only to find that she was wearing a Venetian silver mask.

  He calmly withdrew his hand, his voice was flat and unremarkable, unable to detect any ripples: "Ying Mei."

  "Why wear a mask?" Su Yi Xiang reached out to remove her mask, wanting to know who the person taking care of him was and what they looked like under the mask.

  With a sudden turn of her body, the previously calm person suddenly let out a cheerful and light laugh, her voice clear and filled with amusement: "If you're drunk, just be more subdued. What does it matter to you that I'm wearing a mask?" She moved the water aside and reached for the lid to cover it for him.

  Su Yixiang lay on the bed watching the window open with air conditioning, and said drowsily: "Your voice is a bit familiar, have I seen you before?"

  "This is our first meeting, right? You should know that in everyone's eyes, apart from the people they care about, others are more or less the same." The Shadow Demon pulled up the curtains and asked casually, "Drinking so much wine, aren't you happy?"

  "Yeah, nothing much, it's just that the girl I like doesn't like me back." Su Yi Xiang's consciousness was a bit fuzzy, his words tinged with a hint of sadness.

  Ying Mei stared blankly for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why tell me?"

  "I don't know." Su Yi Xiang flipped over and closed his eyes, "Probably because I don't recognize you."

  Ying Mei raised his hand and stroked his chin, fell silent for a moment before suddenly smiling and saying: "If you like it, don't give up."

  Su Yi Xiang didn't say a word, Ying Wei smiled and closed the door to leave. Just as he stepped out, he bumped into Meng Meng walking in this direction, Ying Wei quickly turned around, preparing to hurry away after removing his mask.
