Lin Anyan watched the situation with a hint of subtle mockery in his eyes.
Chi Yifan also smiled. “Yeah, how could it be possible?”
“Wang Qing, aren’t you good at dancing?” Chi Yifan looked with interest at the employees dancing on the stage. “I haven’t seen you dance yet. Would you like to give us a performance?”
Ruan Qing’s face turned even paler. He spoke softly, “It might not be convenient, my foot... it’s sprained.”
Chi Yifan, feeling a bit regretful, nodded at his own forgetfulness. “Look at my memory. I forgot your foot is still sprained.”
“Well, let’s forget about it then. It wouldn’t be good to worsen the foot injury.”
Chi Yifan didn’t say anything more but looked around curiously, eventually settling his gaze on the bar. “It’s too noisy here; let’s go over there.”
Ruan Qing seemed relieved at his words; there were fewer customers at the bar, mainly those here solely for drinking.
Chi Yifan gestured for everyone to sit down and started ordering drinks.
He ordered high-proof alcohol, low-proof alcohol, and even some soft drinks. It seemed like he intended to order a bit of everything, offering options for whatever anyone wanted.
Considering that the drinks at ‘Huayue’ were mostly expensive, ordering everything would undoubtedly cost a significant amount of money.
Apparently, Chi Yifan was well-off; he ordered almost every drink on the menu.
While ordering, Chi Yifan turned to Ruan Qing, “Wang Qing, do you come here to dance or to drink each time?”
“...to drink.”
“Oh? Really? I didn’t know Wang Qing is good at drinking too.” Chi Yifan seemed surprised. “Then you must try this.”
Chi Yifan pushed a glass of high-proof alcohol directly in front of Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the drink in front of him.
It seemed that Chi Yifan not only knew that the original owner worked here, but also knew that he wasn’t good at drinking.
In fact, the original owner had only drunk once at ‘Huayue’—the first time he had been assigned as the third type of employee.
Since then, he had rarely touched alcohol.
After all, there weren’t many customers looking for him to accompany to drink with them.
And the glass of wine pushed over by Chi Yifan was exactly the same as the one the original owner drank when he got drunk the first time.
Did Chi Yifan investigate him?
Could the man in the changing room that day be him?
“Give this a try; it’s absolutely amazing for those who can drink. I love this one the most,” Chi Yifan said, looking at Ruan Qing with anticipation.
Ruan Qing, on the other hand, turned pale. He pursed his lips, tremblingly reached out, and prepared to pick up the wine in front of him.
However, someone took the wine before him.
The player held the wine and smiled at Ruan Qing, politely asking, “Sorry, can I have this glass? I really like this kind of wine, too.”
“I’ll trade with you for orange juice. Is that okay?”
The player pushed the orange juice in front of him.
Although the player claimed to like it, everyone present knew that the player was helping Ruan Qing, including Ruan Qing himself.
Ruan Qing looked at the player in surprise, nodded slightly, and answered quietly, “Sure.”
[Comfortable, the streamer did a great job. [Reward 50 points]]
[What’s this? The little guy didn’t seem to know how to drink, and he gave him such strong alcohol. Is he crazy!]
[To be honest, if my wife hadn’t already gone to university, I would have felt like he was forcing a minor to drink. I would have been so angry; if I were there, I would have slapped him for sure.]
[Clearly, the last time Chi Yifan saw my wife, he didn’t have this attitude, right? He used to be gentle and considerate. Did he take the wrong medicine today?]
After Chi Yifan saw the player take the wineglass, he didn’t offer Ruan Qing another drink. Instead, he pushed all the drinks in front of the player.
“If you like to drink, it’s all yours.”
“Don’t worry, I’m treating, drink as much as you want.”
Chi Yifan looked at the player indifferently, as if he wanted him to finish all the drinks.
The player hesitated for a moment. If the one here was an ordinary person, drinking all these wines would probably lead to death right in this bar.
But he didn’t say anything and picked up the wine, downing it in one go.
After all, his current role was essentially the sidekick of both of these two, and he couldn’t afford to offend either of them.
After the player had about four or five drinks, Ruan Qing took a cup of alcohol from in front of the other.
His eyelashes trembled slightly as he smiled at the player. “I also like this.”
It’s not that Ruan Qing wanted to drink, but it’s evident that Chi Yifan wouldn’t let it go if he didn’t drink at least one.
Chi Yifan, upon seeing Ruan Qing pick up the drink, looked away and turned his gaze towards him.
Ruan Qing took a small sip of the drink.
Bitter, spicy, and astringent.
For someone who didn’t like to drink, it’s absolutely exceptionally unpleasant.
After Ruan Qing finished that sip, he closed his eyes directly, ready to gulp down the entire cup of alcohol in one go.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, the cup in his hand was snatched away.
Ruan Qing looked somewhat bewildered at Chi Yifan.
Chi Yifan, holding the cup snatched from Ruan Qing’s hand, smiled slightly. “You’re drinking with an injured foot?”
“Did you forget the doctor’s advice to avoid alcohol so soon?”
Chi Yifan’s words made it seem like he was not the one forcing Ruan Qing to drink.
Ruan Qing forced another smile, “Yes, yes, I forgot.”
After saying that, Ruan Qing felt a bit uneasy. After a while, he spoke softly, “I’ll go to the restroom.”
There was a restroom next to the bar, and from their seating position, they could easily see the entrance.
So, Chi Yifan and Lin Anyan didn’t say anything.
After going to the restroom, Ruan Qing washed his hands and splashed his face with cold water.
When enough time had passed, he came out of the restroom.
Coincidentally, as Ruan Qing exited the restroom, there was a commotion on the other side of the hall, attracting the attention of the people sitting at the bar.
And just as the group turned their heads, Ruan Qing, who had just come out, had his hand grabbed and was instantly pulled to a corner.
Ruan Qing was caught off guard and frightened by the sudden pull. Upon realizing that it was Ning Mufeng who grabbed him, he stared wide-eyed, a bit flustered, and tried to shake off Ning Mufeng’s hand.
But he couldn’t shake it off at all.
Ruan Qing could only feign calmness as he coldly spoke, “What are you doing, Ning Mufeng!?”
Ning Mufeng remained silent, supporting himself against the wall, trapping Ruan Qing between the wall and himself.
There was nowhere for Ruan Qing to escape.
Ning Mufeng, looking down at the person before him, no longer had the usual smile on his face. “When did you start getting involved with my little uncle?”
Ruan Qing, flustered, began, “It’s none of your...”
Before Ruan Qing could finish, Ning Mufeng interrupted, “You’re truly filthy.”
At these words, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Ruan Qing’s delicate face. He lowered his gaze, avoiding Ning Mufeng’s eyes, and spoke coldly, “Step aside.”
However, Ning Mufeng didn’t move. His gaze fell on the person before him, whose lips were now flushed from the kiss he had with his uncle, his eyes deepening.
After a moment, he leaned forward with a pressuring presence, getting closer to Ruan Qing. “Aren’t you always jealous that I remain untainted?”
Before Ruan Qing could react, Ning Mufeng leaned in closer to Ruan Qing’s ear, his voice low and husky. “You’re quite dirty yourself.”
“So, do you want to stain me as well?”
Lin Anyan watched the situation with a hint of subtle mockery in his eyes.
Chi Yifan also smiled. “Yeah, how could it be possible?”
“Wang Qing, aren’t you good at dancing?” Chi Yifan looked with interest at the employees dancing on the stage. “I haven’t seen you dance yet. Would you like to give us a performance?”
