Chapter 29 Bartending

"I found a handsome boy for you. He will accompany these gentlemen. Got it?"

Gu Yanshen patted Lu Shinian on the shoulder.

"But…."

Lu Shinian pretended to refuse.

"Your job today is to accompany several gentlemen. I'm going to go smoke a cigarette first."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Yanshen as he expected.

"Let's get started."

Shen Yuan tapped the table lightly and spoke calmly.

Lu Shinian stopped making trouble and sat down obediently.

The air was filled with smoke and dim lights. A group of people sat around a card table covered with green velvet, staring intently at the cards in their hands. The chips on the table were piled up like a small mountain.

Shen Yuan had a stern look on his face as he stroked the cards in his hand. He then raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at everyone vaguely, while his fingers tapped the table rhythmically, making a light "tapping" sound.

The person next to him was obviously also pulled by some young master to make up the number. At the moment, he seemed a little uneasy, his eyes flickering, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and the cards in his hand were slightly wrinkled.

"I raise."

Shen Yuan broke the silence with a low voice, pushing the stack of chips in front of him to the center of the table. His movements were smooth and carried an unquestionable momentum. This action instantly made the already tense atmosphere tense.

The man next to me had his Adam's apple rolling up and down and swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on the pile of chips, as if he was having a fierce ideological struggle.

After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth, pushed out half of the chips in front of him, and said in a trembling voice: "Follow."

At this point, there are already four public cards on the table, and the situation is becoming increasingly confusing. The appearance of each new card is like a huge rock hanging on everyone's heart.

Pei Song had been silent all this time, but at this moment he suddenly chuckled and said slowly: "You all are very courageous."

As he spoke, he slowly put down the cards in his hand, with a mysterious smile on his face: "Let me see if I can intercept it."

Some of the remaining people followed and some folded. Only Lu Shinian, who had just sat down, was left. All eyes were focused on him and the air seemed to freeze.

The tense atmosphere was like an invisible net that tightly covered everyone. Everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for the final outcome of this game.

His eyes flickered back and forth between the cards in his hand and the chips in front of him.

"and."

The voice is clear and bright.

The river card is about to be revealed and the atmosphere is extremely tense.

The dealer lightly pinched the cards with his fingers and slowly turned them over. The moment the numbers on the cards came into everyone's sight, Shen Yuan, who usually had a blank expression, looked at the cards on the table and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Lu Shinian is not much different from him.

But still bigger than him.

There is no doubt that the winner of the whole game is Lu Shinian.

I played several rounds in succession.

Lu Shinian followed decisively and threw it away decisively.

Don't be arrogant or impatient.

Even when he loses occasionally, he remains calm.

It was in stark contrast to the other young man on the field.

"Oh, sure."

Gu Yanshen had finished smoking and was still dancing for a while on the dance floor downstairs.

He looked at the chips in front of Lu Shinian that were almost full.

A turn of steps

Came to Shen Yuan.

Happy

She folded her arms and touched his shoulder.

"A Yuan, are you showing mercy? How come you lost so miserably?"

"No."

Shen Yuan pursed his lips as he looked at the few remaining chips in front of him.

Lu Shinian saw that Gu Yanshen had returned.

Calculated the time.

--Too much is as bad as too little.

Lu Shinian thought silently in his heart.

Just about to stand up and leave.

"Buzz"

The phone in my pocket vibrated.

"Shi Nian, we are here, where are you?"

It was a text message sent to him by Xiao Jing and others.

"I'll be there in a minute."

I have made my presence felt today.

Let's wait until the next opportunity to get in touch.

Too much is as bad as too little.

"Gentlemen, I have something else to do. I hope you all enjoy your evening."

Lu Shinian smiled at everyone.

He stood up and prepared to leave.

"Ask Ah Jin at the door to take you out."

Pei Song finally spoke the first words of the night.

"Thanks."

"Boss Pei, are you interested?"

Looking at Lu Shinian's back as he left, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his long legs wrapped in trousers, and the lighting in the box, he looked like a total killer from behind.

Gu Yanshen raised his eyebrows and smiled ambiguously.

"Indeed, with his face and figure, even I can't help wanting to have a casual romance with him."

Hearing this, Shen Yuan raised his eyes and looked at him.

"It just felt like a good match."

Pei Song chuckled.

I didn't comment on what he said.

"There's nothing fun here. Why did my brother tell me to stop coming here?"

Gu Yanxi sat in the booth, stirring the fruit wine in the glass with his hands out of boredom.

Cheng Shuoqiu was already jumping up and down on the dance floor.

Li Ze: "Noisy."

"Where's the God of Roads? Didn't he arrive a long time ago? Why can't I see him?"

Xiao Jing: "He said he would come right over."

Lu Shinian walked out of the box and was led by Ajin through several doors before reaching the booth on the first floor.

It's easy to go wrong without someone to guide you.

"Thank you. You can go back now."

After politely thanking him, he walked towards the bar.

"Handsome boy, are you interested in having a couple of drinks?"

"No thanks."

I don't know how many men and women I rejected who approached me along the way.

Lu Shinian finally saw Xiao Jing and others in a booth not far away.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Ze, Yan Xi, sorry, I just went to the bathroom."

Gu Yanxi: "God of Roads, you are here!"

Xiao Jing: "Sit down."

He walked to the empty seat on the other side and sat down.

Gu Yanxi came over with a glass of wine.

"God of Roads, do you want to try it?"

“Is it delicious?”

"It doesn't taste good." Gu Yanxi stuck out his tongue and said with disgust.

"Puff"

Lu Shinian was immediately struck by how cute he looked.

Maybe he was in a good mood tonight, or maybe things were going the way he wanted.

A bright smile appeared on his face.

Gu Yanxi, who was standing opposite him, felt the impact of this smile.

Her cheeks instantly turned red all the way to her ears.

"Would you like me to make you a drink?"

“Okay…Okay.”

"Then you wait."

"Wait, what did Lu Shen just ask me to do? Make cocktails? He can actually make cocktails?"

The other two were also surprised for a moment.

"I want to go and have a look."

Gu Yanxi walked towards the bar excitedly.

At the bar.

Lu Shinian casually glanced at the utensils in front of him, picked up a wine measuring cup, and measured out vodka, orange juice, cranberry juice, etc. Every drop of raw material falling into the goblet is like drawing a gorgeous painting.

He picked up the stirring stick and stirred it slowly and gracefully. The liquids in the cup gradually blended and the colors kept changing, like a dreamy color magic show.

Gu Yanxi stared at it blankly.

When it’s time to serve, add a few mint leaves for garnish.

This drink is ready.

He pushed the wine in front of Gu Yanxi and blinked.

"Master Gu, would you like to try it?"

"Don't call me that."

Although people often called him that, he felt embarrassed when Lu Shinian teased him.

"This wine from Shi Nian looks so good, I can't bear to drink it."

"Try it. I specially mixed it with a lower alcohol content."

"I'll drink it right away."
