Chapter 52: First Encounter at Flowing Scenery Bar

  After talking to He Jiang Fengchen on the phone, An Yijun hastily got up to wash and change clothes. The noise he made woke up An Yiran in the next room without any surprise.

  An Yiran knocked on An Yijun's door with a resentful face and asked, "An Yijun! What are you doing so early in the morning? Can't let people sleep?"

  An Yi Jin still had a smile on his face, and the speed of putting on his shoes didn't slow down at all. He said, "Sister, if I told you that I'm going to the train station to pick up Jiang Feng Chen, would you still want to sleep?"

  "What...what?" An Yiran was momentarily stunned, and when she came to her senses, she excitedly grabbed An Yijun's arm and asked: "You're saying that Jiang Fengchen has arrived in Yin City?"

  "Ah, sister! You... let go, you're hurting me!" An Yijun, however, was grinning from ear to ear and talking nonsense. An Yiran angrily shook off his arm and said: "A big man like you is acting so fragile, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

  An Yi Jin shouted in grievance: "Sister! Do you know how much strength you used?!"

  "Cut the crap, go pick him up quickly! I'll also get ready. Later, you just bring him to the bar and find me, got it?"

  Looking at An Yiran rushing back to the room, An Yijun rubbed his head with a confused expression, "Sister, what are you preparing for?"

  "What's it to you?!" Along with a loud "Bang", Anyan closed the door.

  An Yi Jin helplessly shrugged his shoulders and picked up his phone before heading out the door.

  Yin City Bus Terminal was always crowded like this, and An Yijun had to use a lot of effort to finally find Jiang Fengchen.

  "Hey! Brothers!" An Yi Jin excitedly hailed him from afar, seeing him sitting in the rest area, before hastily walking over.

  Jiang Fengchen stood up upon hearing the sound, and when he saw An Yijun's familiar face, his tense mood suddenly relaxed. "Brother, I'm really sorry to disturb you so early in the morning."

  An Yijin smiled and shook his head, "We shouldn't be saying such things between us. Have you eaten yet?"

  Jiang Fengchen nodded, "I had something to eat after getting off the car."

  An Yi Jin scratched his head awkwardly, "It's a bit far from my house to rush over here, it took a long time, sorry about that, brother."

  "Look at you, and yet you're talking about me? You yourself have already drawn a line between us."

  An Yi Jin slapped his forehead and said, "Right, right, I'm all muddled. Let's go to the bar first and find a place to settle down, then we can think about what to do next."

  "Good. The mobile phone's first launch address is..." Jiang Fengchen nodded.

  It was just after 9 o'clock in the morning, and the urban life of working from 9 to 5 had just begun. The Flowing Scenery Bar was located in a small alley in the midst of the bustling city, its eye-catching sign flashing brightly, and its luxurious decorations hinting at the city's extravagance and decadence.

  Looking at the eye-catching "Liu Jing Bar" above the entrance of the bar, Jiang Fengchen couldn't help but feel a wave of melancholy in his heart. Liu Jing, Liu Jing. Is this fate? Or is it hinting that I should stay here? Liu Jing Park, Liu Jing Bar, they both have the same name, but their nature is vastly different. One holds his beautiful memories, while the other is accepting his confusion and unease.

  An Yi saw him staring at the signboard in a daze, and couldn't help but feel puzzled. He spoke up to remind him, "Brother, let's go."

  "Oh, okay." Jiang Fengchen turned his head back and took another glance at the four words before following An Yijun into the bar.

  Liu Jing Bar is not open during the day, but the door remains open and the supplies are still available. The daytime Liu Jing Bar is like a quiet coffee shop, providing convenience for students, writers and others who crave quietness.

  An Yiran was already seated in a private room waiting for them as An Yijun had informed him beforehand.

  "Sister!" An Yijun pushed open the door and called out, only to raise his eyes and see a somewhat unfamiliar woman sitting inside. His first reaction was that he had walked into the wrong place, and just as he was about to apologize, he took another look and found that the woman in front of him was actually his sister with whom he spent every day.

  A hint of doubt flashed across An Yirong's eyes, but she didn't say anything. She pulled Jiang Fengchen over and smiled, saying: "Sister, let me introduce you. This is Jiang Fengchen." Then, pointing at An Yiran to Jiang Fengchen, she said: "Brother, this is my sister, An Yiran."

  An Yiran stood up as soon as they came in, and after An Yijun finished speaking, she smiled lightly and nodded: "Hello, Jiang Fengchen, welcome."

  "Hello, thank you."

  "Don't know if you have a place to go now, Brother Jiang? Or are you planning to go somewhere to find work? Look at my place here, it's bustling every night, and I've gotten to know many big bosses, I can introduce them to you."

  Jiang Fengchen hesitated for a moment before saying: "I've just come out, I don't know anything, all I have is brute strength, I'm afraid no one will want me."

  At this time, An Yijun took over and said: "Brother, why don't you just stay here first? I'll teach you how to mix drinks! It's so much fun!"

  An Yiran glanced at An Yijun, and his mouth slightly raised as he said, "I wonder what Brother Jiang thinks about this?"

  Jiang Fengchen hadn't even had time to respond when An Yijun discontentedly shouted: "Sister, what's with the pretentious act? You're only a few years older! Talking about Brother Jiang this and Brother Jiang that, as if you're some kind of elder. You're only twenty! My brothers are all nineteen!"

  Jiang Fengchen suddenly smiled and said: "At our first meeting, I don't know how to address you either. Calling you 'sister' seems too old-fashioned, while calling you by your name doesn't seem respectful enough."

  "What's wrong with calling names? Calling names is what makes us close, right sis?" An Yijun smiled mischievously and winked at An Yiran.

  An Yiran didn't even bat an eye, saying: "You're really not serious." Then he looked at Jiang Fengchen and smiled: "An Yi said it right, from now on, we'll be friends. I'll call you Fengchen, and you can call me Yiran, okay?"

  Jiang Fengchen nodded, "It was I who was abrupt."

  An Yiran shook his head, revealing a faint smile, and said: "An Yi Jin, you take Feng Chen to find a place to stay first, it's still early now, find a place to rest for a while, coming from afar is also tiring."

  "Alright!" An Yijun smiled and picked up Jiang Fengchen's luggage with one hand, putting the other on his shoulder, and the two of them walked away together.

  An Yiran saw them off to the door, gazing at their laughing and chatting figures as they walked further and further away. A faint cold smile appeared on his lips, before he turned around and returned to the private room, closing his eyes to rest.

  After a while, An Yiran's phone rang softly in the room. She woke up dazed and saw that it was An Yijun, pressing the answer button to ask: "Is everything settled?"

  "Everything is settled! It's just near our home, how convenient!"

  "Uh, where are you now?"

  "On your way back from the bar, are you still there?"

  "In."

  "We'll talk about it when I get back."

  An Yijun hummed a little tune all the way back to the bar, sauntered in and pushed open the private room door, shouting: "Welcome An Yijun back!"

  "Be low-key when doing things."

  An Yi Jin waved his hand in disapproval, then quickly climbed onto the sofa and sat next to An Yi Ran. He reached out to mess with her hair, "Sis, how did you change your hairstyle without a word? Ah no, it's not just the style, it's the color too! I got used to your eye-catching burgundy hair after so long, how could you just change it to dark brown like that? The difference is too big! It almost made me think we were in the wrong private room earlier, how embarrassing!"

  An Yiran slapped his hand away in annoyance and said, "I'll change whatever I want, does it matter to you?"

  "Heh heh," An Yi Jin slyly smiled twice, "there must be a scheme, don't try to deceive me, who am I? I'm An Yi Jin, your own biological younger brother, and I still don't understand you?"

  "Alright," An Yiran shrugged indifferently and spread out his hands, "I won't bother you either. I changed to dark brown because..."

  Jian Yiran said half and stopped, An Yijun was anxious and urged: "Sister, don't hang people's appetite like this!"

  "Of course, it's for leaving a good impression on Jiang Fengchen, my silly little brother."

  "Uh..." An Yijun looked at An Yiran speechlessly, "Alright, sis, you win."

  "Cut." An Yiran snorted disdainfully.

  "But, sis, you actually look quite innocent like this." An Yijun put on a sly and lewd expression, chuckling.

  An slapped him on the forehead with a loud slap, "Are you very idle? Do you have time to tease your sister? Go home and sweep the house from top to bottom, okay?"

  "Ahh! Not good!" An Yi Jin immediately let out a mournful howl.

  River City

  Su Yisu received a message from Jiang Fengchen while having lunch, and the two exchanged several messages in no time. Su Yisu was sometimes sighing and sometimes beaming with joy, which finally caught the attention of Jiang Zuo and Lin Wan.

  Lin Lin pouted and said sarcastically, "They say that during graduation season, it's also the season for break-ups. Although we haven't graduated yet, those two are already separated, which is even better, they didn't break up but instead became more annoyingly clingy, what kind of logic is this?"

  Jiang Zuo glared at Bai He and said: "You can't even see through her, you can't even see through her and yet you're learning from her."

  "Never mind......" Lin Wan suddenly lost interest when he thought about it happening to himself.

  Su Yisu was still chatting enthusiastically with her head down, occasionally letting out a snicker. People who didn't know her might have thought she was an escaped mental patient.

  Lin Xiao quietly sighed, "Do we still want to eat this meal? I really don't recognize the person opposite me."

  Jiang Zuo snatched Su Yisou's mobile phone and said with a straight face, "When eating, just focus on eating, what are you doing playing with your phone!"

  "Good!" Lin Wan applauded and cheered.

  Su Yi Su suddenly felt a pang of regret and pretended to be angry, saying: "Give it back to me quickly!"

  Jiang Zuo quickly opened her bag and threw her phone in, zipping it up. "Let's eat."

  Su Yisu pouted and stared at her resentfully. However, the two of them chose to ignore her, tacitly lowering their heads to eat seriously.

  Su Yisuo finally let out a sigh of resignation.

  Jiang Fengchen, I hope everything is fine with you. I am in Jiang City and will be fine too...
