Chapter 113 The Party in the Bar
The night color is like a boundless big net, wrapping the entire city tightly and impermeably.
7 pm, others are reading:
A bright red sports car slowly stopped in front of the most prosperous bar on the street, the door opened, and Jin Yanyan jumped out of the driver's seat with a relaxed face, walked around to the other side with a handsome gait, and then opened the rear door.
Bai Xueya walked out gently.
She wore a black vest embroidered with lace, a long white pearl necklace hanging straight down from her neck, and a pair of dark blue tight-fitting jeans that only reached the root of her legs, revealing her slender and pale thighs. On her feet were a pair of blue sneakers, and on her delicate toes was applied a fiery red nail polish, making her look cool and sexy.
Her getting off the bus attracted attention from many people around, some young people looked her up and down for a long time, intending to go up and chat with her, but when they saw the tall and thin blond boy beside her, they all retreated reluctantly.
Only one guy who didn't know better walked up, chewing gum and smiling, asking: "Miss..."
Before he could finish what he was saying, a loud "bang" was heard, and the man stumbled backward two steps. When he lifted his head again, his nose was already dripping with blood.
"Get out of here!"
The blond youth narrowed his eyes and warned.
That man cursed and was about to fight back, but when he saw a group of black-clad men rushing out of the bar, he knew something was wrong and could only slink away in defeat.
"Master, are you alright?" The black-clad man with sunglasses asked with a slight bow of his head.
Bai Xueya was shocked, turned her head to see Jin Zaiyan waving his hand, as if signaling the man in sunglasses that "it's okay", and couldn't help but curl up her mouth, sighing: "Not really... Golden hair? This is all your fault..."
"Bodyguard!" Jin smiled, stroking his golden hair, "This bar often has troublemakers, if we don't prepare well, it's easy to disturb our fun."
Bai Xueya nodded slightly, seeming to understand and yet not understand. She raised her eyes and looked at the dazzling neon lights, "Forest Bar" stood out in particular. She hesitated for a moment, her hands unconsciously tightening around the strap of her slanting bag.
Bar ah......
From young to old, she had never even touched the door of a bar, only because minors were prohibited from entering here.
Although they have grown up, after all, they are not yet eighteen years old. The bar is undoubtedly a distant and mysterious place for them.
Seemingly seeing through Bai Xueya's difficulties, Jin Zaiyan raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder, comforting her as he pinched her gently. He pulled her hand and walked in with big strides.
Inside the bar, a room was dimly lit, with dazzling lights spinning wildly like a rainbow. In each dark and narrow corner, people were either laughing loudly and clinking glasses or whispering softly, as if they were in their own separate worlds, constantly acting out their own stories.
In a dim but spacious compartment, Bai Xiaoya saw them.
Jin Yan sat on the innermost sofa, removing the elegant and capable taste of the past. Today's black long-sleeved dress made her look extremely elegant and beautiful. Her hair was tied back in a neat and clean bun, secured with a silver hairpin, giving off an air of grandeur and warmth.
Yan Feng sat beside her, wearing a white shirt with black stripes and a pair of sleek black trousers. His hair was simple and clean, his eyebrows seemed to hold a hint of doubt, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised in a smile. His eyes remained fixed on the tea table in front of him, his entire person like a crystal statue, motionless yet radiant with light.
Next were some unfamiliar faces she had never seen before, the boys were drinking and chatting with each other, while the girls were whispering to each other with their heads down, occasionally a girl would come over to talk to Yan Feng, but Yan Feng just smiled and declined one by one.
Among these unfamiliar faces, Lu Haochen was leaning against a crimson sofa with his long legs crossed. He wore a white T-shirt with only the middle buttons fastened, revealing his tight, wheat-colored skin at the chest. His black jeans were slightly loose, giving off a hint of unruliness, looking good on him. One hand rested on his forehead, while the other gently swirled the glass cup, causing the ** inside to jump and collide, creating all sorts of flower shapes.
On the edge of the crowd, Bai Xueya found Luo Li's figure. She was lowering her head and eating snacks desperately, seeing her come, hurriedly swallowing a mouthful of food, rushing up to welcome her: "Wow! Xueya you're here! Come sit down quickly!"
He pulled her down without saying a word.
Bai Xueya slightly raised her eyes, and Luo Li's previous words had already attracted the attention of many people. Yan Feng politely nodded in this direction, Jin Zaihan smiled and waved his hand at her, and the surrounding strangers also cast friendly glances.
Bai Xueya nodded slightly in response, and suddenly felt an extra force on her shoulder. She lifted her head to find that Lu Haocen had already walked over and sat down beside her.
"How about a drink?" He asked provocatively, shaking the wine glass in his hand.
"Don't drink!" Bai Xueya turned her head away with force, pouting, "Don't you know that guys who ask girls to drink aren't good people?"
"Really?" Lu Haocen's face was filled with doubt, and he looked her up and down in surprise. "So you're a girl? Sorry, I didn't notice!"
"Idiot!"
Lu Haochen smiled slyly and took a sip of wine, looking quite pleased with himself.
Bai Xueya rolled her eyes in annoyance, and her gaze involuntarily fell on Yan Feng. At this moment, he was slightly tilting his head, whispering something to Jin Zaihan with a low voice, while Jin Zaihan covered her mouth and chuckled softly, the atmosphere between them was so harmonious that nothing could disturb it.
She slightly lowered her head, and her teeth inadvertently left a small mark on her lips, which was a bit painful but also numb.
At that time, she seemed to have returned to that afternoon in an instant...
That drizzly afternoon...
His cold response...
His ruthless breakup...
"I never liked her."
……
"Hey!"
A low cry brought Bai Xueya back to reality from her deep thoughts, she suddenly turned her head and saw Lu Haocen's profile. The colorful lights in the bar cast a mottled color on his face, also leaving a gloomy and silent shadow.
She slightly furrowed her brow, just about to ask him why he spoke up, but then heard Lu Haochen quietly asking: "Why can't you still forget him?"
Bai Xueya was stunned. She knew that "he" in Lu Haochen's mouth referred to Yan Feng.
Was her disguise so futile after all? Fragmented to the point where a gust of wind could easily blow away the mask of smiles.
She turned her head, stared straight at the bottle in front of her, suddenly poured half a cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
A spicy feeling.
Burning in my heart.
Forget?
If love can be easily forgotten, then it cannot be called love.
It is precisely because of its profound impact that it has led so many ignorant people to have endless admiration and deep hatred.
One hand stopped her movement.
"Aren't you supposed to be quitting drinking?"
"It's none of your business, other book friends are watching!" She forcefully pushed away Lu Haochen's hand and downed the remaining half cup in one gulp. It seemed that as long as she drank away those icy **, all her sorrow would numbly fade with her body, and all her wounds would gradually heal with neglect.
"Xiao Ya......" Luo Li stared at Bai Xiao Ya in shock as she downed a glass of beer, feeling somewhat at a loss. Xiao Ya had never drunk before, but today she was drinking so much in one go.
She sat closer, leaning over Bai Xueya's ear and asking in a low voice.
The sound is particularly faint amidst the cacophony of music.
"What's wrong with you, Xiaoya?"
"I'm fine." She replied without lifting her head, but her eyes kept glancing in that direction many times unintentionally.
Is it because of Yan Feng?
Luo Li sighed.
Xiao Ya this fool, knowing the outcome already, having chosen to give up, why still torture herself like this?!
She gritted her teeth and forcibly snatched the wine cup from Bai Xueya's hand.
"Alright Xiaoya! Don't drink anymore!"
The cup in her hand was snatched away, Bai Xiaoya lost her mind and froze, she shook her head and forcefully shook off the chaotic thoughts.
Yes.
Why does she want to drink? Why is she still torturing herself until now? Even if Yan Feng doesn't like her, what can be done about it? She's Bai Xueya, who fears neither heaven nor earth! The old her, no matter what troubles she encountered, could always laugh them off! But now, why has she become so anxious and worried?!
"Are you okay?" Looking at Xiaoya's expression changing from pain to confusion, and then from confusion to calmness, Luoli couldn't help but curiously lean forward.
Xiao Ya's cheeks had already started to flush slightly, it was clear that her body wasn't suited for drinking.
"Why don't I accompany you out for a walk instead?" Luo Li suggested with a smiling face.
The night wind is a bit cool, blowing on the body, a comfortable feeling seeps from the skin into the blood.
On a street lined with brightly lit bars, two girls sat side by side on the stone steps in the corner. One had a slanted fringe and ponytail, an ordinary face, and wore plain clothes. The other had curly long hair, a delicate and beautiful face, light makeup from head to toe, yet still maintained her individuality.
Occasionally some young men would come up and chat her up, but the pretty girl would coldly turn them away one by one.
"Lili, you said... have I changed a lot?"
"Of course!" Luo Li replied excitedly without hesitation, "Xiao Ya has transformed from an ugly duckling to a white swan! Nobody dares to bully us anymore! Even Ling Shuang'er and Mu Ning don't dare to be as arrogant as before when they see us! Just the other day, I met several boys who wanted to give you love letters..."
"You know I didn't mean that."
Luo Li's voice stopped abruptly.
Actually, she knew that Xiaoya was not asking about these things. Since becoming beautiful, Xiaoya has become more and more cautious, more and more afraid to reveal her true personality, and also more and more unhappy. It's just that she didn't want Xiaoya to be so unhappy, so she thought of saying some happy things to comfort her.
"Have I become timid and weak?" Bai Xueya asked in a low voice as she looked at her.
Luo Li lowered her head and remained silent, only nodding slightly after a long while.
Bai Xue sighed and said with a bitter smile, "I still like the original me. At least, I can always laugh so happily... I won't be sad, I won't be heartbroken, I won't care about others' opinions, and I won't cry secretly in a corner because of someone's dislike..."
"Xiao Ya..." Seeing Bai Xiao Ya's downcast expression, Luo Li suddenly grasped her hand and solemnly said to her, "You're really beautiful."
"If you really like the original yourself, then hurry up and change back to the original 'heartless' Bai Xueya! Don't be so unhappy! Although... I know you've liked Yan Feng for a long time! Being rejected must be tough! But the old you would grit your teeth and persist even if rejected! At most, just scold those competing girls a couple of times!"
"You used to be someone who never shed tears, never drowned your sorrows in drink! Open up your heart and think about it, what's there in this world that can't be figured out? Who would die if they left each other? Only being carefree is truly yours!"
When Rourou finished speaking, Bai Xiaya felt a warm current flowing through her heart. When she lifted her head again, her eyes were already blurry with tears, obstructing her vision.
She wiped away the tears from her eyes, burst out laughing and patted Lori's shoulder, scolding: "Dead Lori! Stinky Lori! You only know how to say those sappy and cheesy words! Making me cry! How embarrassing! I'm Bai Xiaoya, who fears neither heaven nor earth! Don't look down on me like that!"
Xiao Ya regained her usual smile.
Luo Li smiled and grasped her hand tightly with a sense of relief.
Yes.
There is no one in this world who can't live without another person.
Only happiness is the priceless treasure that truly belongs to oneself.
The colored net is for catching fish.
Back inside the bar, it was still a lively scene with red lights and green wine.
Seeing the two return, the lively classmates who were chatting busily waved to them to come over and play together. The two exchanged a glance, smiled and sat down.
Lu Haochen raised his head slightly, seemingly carelessly glancing over, and saw that Bai Xiaoya's face was smiling, he also let out a sigh of relief.
It's okay, this girl is not stupid.
With a satisfied curve of his lips, he smiled and downed the beer in his cup in one gulp.
"Xiao Ya."
Bai Xueya lifted her head and saw Jin Zaihan walking over, bending down to look at herself, and hurriedly stood up.
"Does Sister Han want something from me?" she asked vaguely.
Jin Han hesitated for a moment, then gently pulled her to an empty corner and said in a low voice: "Xiao Ya, actually sister knows that you like Yan Feng... Little Feng is a good kid, but he's still young after all. If he does anything to hurt you, don't..."
"I know."
Jin Han was stunned, and he slowly lifted his head in shock.
"Yes, I did like Yan Feng back then, but that was the past. The current Bai Xueya won't get easily sad or hurt over something. So... Huan jie, you can rest assured."
Jin Han was stunned, looking at Bai Xueya's innocent smile, and after a long time, she also smiled with her.
At first, she was still worried that Xiaoya would be heartbroken by Yan Feng's cold attitude.
But now...
Looking at Bai Xueya's calm expression, she also seemed to have shed a thousand pounds of weight, and suddenly felt extremely relaxed.
After a long time, she smiled and nodded at Bai Xueya.
The bar was extremely lively, and other book friends were watching:
On the stage, the bands were playing with great enthusiasm, and the fast-paced rock music was like a stimulating injection, exciting the audience to a high pitch of passion and fervor.
Under the dazzling lights.
Cheers, music and applause blended together, forming a very lively sound landscape.
In the compartment.
The party was in full swing, with friends laughing loudly and eating and drinking heartily. Jin Zaihan and Bai Xiaoya had just sat down when someone suddenly suggested playing a board game.
"Three Kingdoms Kill? Great, great! Just right for the 12 of us! We can divide into two teams!" As soon as he heard they were going to play a board game, Jin Zaiyan's spirit lifted and he enthusiastically agreed.
Talking for too long is also meaningless, so everyone nodded in agreement.
Soon, the crowd automatically divided into two groups.
Jin Yan, Lu Haochen, Jin Zaihan, Bai Xiaoya and Luo Li were relatively familiar with each other and were divided into an eight-player game with three others. The remaining four people started their own stove and played their four-player game.
Playing cards was meaningless, so someone soon suggested setting up game rules. If someone lost three games in a row, they would be punished.
As for what punishment, it depends on everyone's opinion.
"Hey, Xiaoya, are you okay?" Looking at a group of people sitting around the table, Luo Li hastily and nervously tapped Bai Xiaoya's arm for help. You see, she was a rookie at Three Kingdoms Kill, and not just an ordinary one - it often happened to her that she would be killed before even playing her cards.
"Don't count on me anymore..." Bai Xueya nervously licked her lips, "Don't you know me? In the past when playing cards, if I was the landlord, I would definitely be killed by the loyal ministers; if I was a loyal minister, I would definitely be suspected by the landlord; if I was a rebel, the loyal ministers and the landlord would join forces to kill me; and if I was a traitor..."
She let out a long sigh.
"He was definitely beaten to death by the other seven people before he even had a chance to pour the soy sauce!"
"Ah?!" Luo Li shook her head in disappointment, "It's all over, I knew I shouldn't have played... I heard Lu Haochen is super good at this, please God! Hopefully he and I will be on the same team..."
The game begins.
Originally, Bai Xueya was praying with all her heart that she wouldn't draw the most troublesome Nei Yan, but when she picked up her identity card, she immediately went stupid, damn it, and it turned out to be... Nei Yan.
It's really whatever comes will come!
Bai Xue muttered to herself, and in her heart, she already had a preliminary understanding of her own fate - as an unlucky player who was also extremely bad at the game, drawing the traitor role was undoubtedly a dead end.
So, when distributing the military commander cards, she simply didn't even look and casually drew one, flipped it over to take a look - Oh, not bad, it was actually her favorite Diao Chan.
However, Bai Xueya obviously forgot this, and whether Zhen Ji can explode depends largely on her character.
So when she kept drawing red cards for both Mopai and Wugou, she suddenly had an urge to vomit blood.
The ending is obvious, very rough and dismal - after three rounds of cards, Bai Xiaoya, who tried to disguise himself as a loyal minister, was ruthlessly exposed and shot dead by random arrows.
Your character is not good enough...
"A toast! A toast! A toast!"
Everyone clapped on the table and cheered, Bai Xueya had to take a sip under the gaze of everyone. The icy drink rushed through her mouth, also cooling down her hot and almost numb brain.
"Ugly girl, you look so good! Your luck is really bad! I'd rather not be paired with you!" Lu Haochen chimed in from the side, his face full of disdain.
"You big fool! Next time I'll definitely drag you down with me!" Bai Xiaoya gritted her teeth and flung out her declaration.
The second round of cards, Bai Xiaya's luck was not bad, and she got the identity of a loyal minister. After a circle, she pinched her chin and seriously examined others, guessing that Luo Li was likely to be another loyal minister with herself, while Lu Haocen, that big white idiot, was absolutely a rebel of the red fruit.
"Kill!" She slammed it down, and a "kill" appeared on the table, pointing ruthlessly at Lu Haochen who was left with only one drop of blood.
"Hey! Big and ugly girl! Are you out of your mind? You can't even see clearly with invisible glasses! A guy who just took down the 'Le' master, could he be a rebel?......" Lu Haochen was so angry that he almost jumped up from his seat.
"Calm down!" Jin Zaiyan, who was standing beside him, hooked up the corner of his mouth with ill intentions, "You can't reveal your identity during the game!"
Lu Haocen had no choice but to swallow back the words on his lips.
The result was that Bai Xueya and Lu Haocen, the two loyal ministers, killed each other in a fight, while the rebels led by Luo Li and Jin Zaiyan took advantage of the situation and reaped the benefits.
This round of the game is over. Looking at Jin Yanluo's triumphant smile, and Lu Haocen's long black face, Bai Xiaya silently rolled her eyes, but didn't dare to speak out loud, and could only accompany with a laugh: "Hehehe... sorry, I thought you were a traitor, so..."
"You must have grown your eyes on top of your head, ugly girl!" Lu Haocen said with a gloomy face.
"Hey!" Bai Xueya was furious. She had already apologized and compensated with good intentions, but this big fool still didn't know how to appreciate it, how despicable!
"Alright, alright, alright!" Jin Zaiyan hurriedly laughed and smoothed things over, "It's just a game, why be so serious! But this round is lost by Old Lu! Admit defeat, admit defeat!"
Yan Feng handed over a perfectly poured beer on the other side, and Lu Haochen downed it in one gulp without saying a word.
"Haochen, you'd better make an effort! Jin Zaihan said with a warm and sly smile, "Otherwise, if you drink too much, Huan Jie won't send you back!"
The third round of the game.
The competition was extremely fierce, with everyone cutting each other down and refusing to give in. In order not to be punished later, Bai Xiaya and Lu Haocen both used all their strength.
But heaven did not comply with people's wishes. After several "fierce battles", the two people only had one drop of blood left, and their hands were empty.
It's Kim Jee-in's turn to draw a tile.
He saw him with a confident look on his face, smiling as he drew a card from his hand and gently placed it on the table:
"Thousands of arrows flying together - "
Thus, "Empty Hand Party" Bai Xiaoya and Lu Haocen became soy sauce cannons under Jin Zaiyan's command.
After three rounds of games, Bai Xueya and Lu Haocen tied in score. After a heated discussion and unanimous voting by everyone, it was decided that -
Punish Bai Xueya and Lu Haocen together.
But...
What's the point of punishment?
Everyone was in trouble at once.
At this moment, a round of applause broke out, and everyone looked over to see the band bowing in gratitude amidst the enthusiastic applause. Suddenly, Jin Yan thought of an extremely "perfect" good idea -
Let Bai Xueya and Lu Haocen come on stage together to perform a program!
