Yang Qingcheng and Shi Liao Liao walked in and soon noticed something was off.
"Why are there only men here?"
Yang Qingcheng furrowed her brows and pushed away a little boy who was wriggling towards her.
After a while, Shi Liao Liao watched as the red-haired teenager was approached several times by men, without exception.
Glancing at Yang Qingcheng's arrogant red hair, handsome face, and tall figure, Shi Liao Liao suddenly realized, "This is a gay bar."
Yang Qingcheng, who was about to sit on a bar stool, paused and then muttered a curse under her breath.
She couldn't believe Yang Qingzhou had tricked her into coming to a gay bar.
Feeling annoyed, Yang Qingcheng scratched her head and blushed slightly.
Just then, a young man with a slim upper body and tight pants, wearing delicate makeup, took the opportunity to approach them and politely invited them for a drink.
Shi Liao Liao felt a bit envious that someone was offering to buy them drinks.
Patting Yang Qingcheng's shoulder, Shi Liao Liao sighed, "You lucky girl."
Yang Qingcheng: "..."
Do you want this luck?
Seeing Shi Liao Liao looking around without any intention of leaving, Yang Qingcheng had no choice but to sit back down.
She glanced at the drink the young man had pushed towards her and didn't refuse, raising the glass and taking a sip.
Whether it was due to the bar being newly opened or not, there weren't many people, and the seating was limited but compact.
A resident singer was strumming a guitar and singing gentle songs.
Shi Liao Liao didn't sit with Yang Qingcheng and moved to another place.
After a while, a glass of milky white drink with a mint leaf floating on top was pushed in front of her.
The bartender pointed to a man not far away, "That gentleman ordered it."
Shi Liao Liao glanced in the direction and saw a man holding the glass, slowly walking towards her.
"Hello, beautiful."
Dressed in a light gray suit, he had a good figure but an ordinary face, relying entirely on his temperament.
"Hello, handsome with atmosphere."
The man handed her the glass and clinked it with hers without asking.
"You're a student at St. Dunstan's College, right?"
Shi Liao Liao nodded but didn't touch the drink.
The man teased, "Worried I spiked it?"
Shi Liao Liao shook her head, her long eyelashes drooping lightly, giving her an enticing appearance but with a cold temperament.
"Too cheap, I'm not interested."
The man asked, "What kind of man do you like?"
Shi Liao Liao's lack of interest piqued his competitive spirit.
Playing with her glass, Shi Liao Liao casually replied, "A man who can sing 'Brahms' Lullaby'."
The man was speechless.
Is it rap?!
Realizing the young man's deliberate intent, the curve of the man's lips turned downwards.
"Give me some face."
Shi Liao Liao raised her eyelids and glanced at him, "Who are you?"
Meanwhile, Yang Qingcheng was getting into the mood, with the young man beside her cheering her on.
The man pointed to the table with confidence in his tone, "Do you know who Changqing is?"
"Your husband?"
A vein in the man's temple twitched, "He's my stepfather!"
"Oh, your stepdad."
"It's my stepfather, don't say it so rudely!"
"Sorry, I'm not used to talking to other people's stepsons."
Shi Liao Liao was getting annoyed and dismissed him.
The man felt offended.
In the past, any young man would have come over with just a beckoning finger.
"If not, forget it."
He sneered.
"Actually, I don't like you that much. My other little fairies are much prettier than you. You're quite average."
"Laughable, you're really pretending."
The man stood up, the frustration on his face clearly visible.
As he turned, he nearly bumped into a passing waiter and kicked him, "Can't you watch where you're going?"
The waiter stumbled and fell.
Shi Liao Liao was about to go help, but before she could extend her hand, the man lifted his head, revealing a handsome yet disheveled face.
He scratched his head halfway through reaching out, then turned back.
[Why is Gu Xuezhou everywhere]
Gu Xuezhou also noticed Shi Liao Liao at this moment.
A few days ago, she saw the job posting here and since the hourly pay was good, she came to work here.
Every time she left school, she would change out of her uniform and wear a hat and mask, afraid of being seen by students from St. Dunstan's College.
"You—"
Shi Liao Liao!?
Shi Liao Liao seemed to ignore her and walked past her.
The man, on the other hand, seemed to recognize both of them and looked pensive.
He assessed Gu Xuezhou's appearance and found it barely passable.
Under normal circumstances, he might have been interested, but with Mingzhu present, everything else seemed lacking.
"Do something for me, and I won't report you to St. Dunstan's College."
St. Dunstan's College does not allow students to work part-time outside without permission.
Since Shi Liao Liao knew this short girl, it meant she was also a student at St. Dunstan's College.
Sure enough, at the mention of 'St.
Dunstan's,' the young man trembled.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Yang Qingcheng, wake up."
Shi Liao Liao looked at the red-haired young man slumped over the bar, unconscious, and patted the back of his head.
The young man drinking with him chuckled, "You can't wake him up with a pat. Try pressing his philtrum?"
Seeing his sweet smile and young age, Shi Liao Liao raised her hand and rubbed his head, "Pressing the philtrum randomly can cause trouble."
The young man, who had his head touched, was a bit dazed.
After realizing, he blinked at Shi Liao Liao, "Then what should we do?"
Shi Liao Liao asked the young man to help Yang Qingcheng stand up and turned him over.
She patted his stiff buttocks and said seriously, "If pressing the philtrum doesn't work, then we press the buttocks."
After that, she extended her index finger and was about to poke Yang Qingcheng's buttocks—
The person who was supposed to be drunk suddenly shivered, pushed away the young man supporting him, turned around in a hurry, and said anxiously, "I'm awake! I'm sober now!"
Am I a traitor? How could you treat me like this!
Shi Liao Liao shrugged and said to the dumbfounded young man, "See? Pressing the philtrum might not wake up someone who's really drunk, but pressing the buttocks will definitely wake up someone who's faking it."
The young man looked like he had learned something.
After bidding farewell to the young man, Shi Liao Liao walked out with Yang Qingcheng, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
If it weren't for Maru telling her after the check-up that she was just unlucky, Shi Liao Liao would really have doubted whether she was an important character.
Otherwise, why would everything she did seem like she was the protagonist, always triggering unexpected plots? Just like now.
She looked down at her soaked clothes, then glanced at Gu Xuezhou in front of her, frantically wiping herself with a handkerchief.
"You did this on purpose," she said.
Gu Xuezhou's eyes flickered unnaturally, then she gritted her teeth, "Why would I have any reason to do that."
Yang Qingcheng frowned, "Stop the nonsense and move out of the way."
Gu Xuezhou shook her head, "I can't. If I go out like this, the manager will deduct my salary."
"Then you'll have to compensate," Yang Qingcheng said impatiently, reaching out with a strong smell of alcohol.
"My phone is in the staff office. Come with me, and I'll pay for your dry cleaning," Gu Xuezhou said, looking embarrassed.
