Even late at night, the bar remained noisy.
Zhou Qiong tugged at Chu Yi's sleeve and said softly, "Yi Yi, it's time to go back."
The two of them had been at the bar until eleven o'clock. More and more people were coming in, all sorts of people, swaying their heads to the deafening music. They didn't look like good people at all.
Zhou Qiong couldn't understand why so many people liked this kind of place and spent money like water.
"Let's play a little longer." Chu Yi swayed his body, enjoying himself, but seeing that Zhou Qiong wasn't interested, he immediately gave up the idea of staying and said, "Okay, let's go home."
Chu Yi snapped his fingers, and immediately the waiter came over to collect the bill. When he saw that it cost 599 yuan, he gritted his teeth in anger: "A dozen beers, and you want 599 yuan? Are you robbing me?"
"Um... Our bar has always been honest and fair to all, young and old."
"Do you know how long it takes me to earn six hundred? It's incredibly hard work, like screwing in screws on an assembly line. It takes at least three days." Chu Yi tilted his head and looked at the waiter, his eyes filled with sincerity. "Can you give me a discount? I only drank less than one bottle. I can return the rest. How about I give you ten yuan?"
“... ..."
The bartender smirked.
How about it?
Not very good!
"Put the money for these two girls on my tab."
Just as Zhou Qiong was about to pay the bill, a soft voice echoed in the ears of the three of them. The waiter immediately breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the person who had spoken, bowed slightly, and then left.
Zhou Qiong looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man who looked to be about twenty-two or twenty-three years old. He was tall, with a high nose bridge and smooth features; he was a handsome man.
Chu Yi looked at the man, then her mouth flew like a machine gun, asking, "Why did you invite us? Did you even respect our feelings? Do you think you're so cool just because you're treating us? Do you expect us to be grateful?"
“... ..."
Zhou Qiong could clearly see the handsome man's face twitching, as if he could hardly believe that his good deed had been questioned like a criminal.
The handsome man forced a smile, as if to hide his embarrassment, while Chu Yi continued, "Laugh, laugh, what's so funny? You're the one who walked right into this mess. Don't think we'll be grateful to you. We're leaving."
"Um... whatever."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yi pulled Zhou Qiong away from the booth, while the handsome man remained seated, letting the two of them leave.
Ten seconds later, Chu Yi and Zhou Qiong returned. The former looked at the handsome man and asked, "Why didn't you stop us?"
"Um... why would I stop you two?"
"You paid for both of us."
“... ..."
The handsome man remained silent.
Chu Yi then pulled Zhou Qiong down to sit and said, "You are a good person."
"Why would a good person come to a bar? I'm a complete and utter bad person."
"How bad are you? Are you on the wanted list yet? I'll report you and make some money."
"Money?" The handsome man suddenly stretched out his right hand to Chu Yi's ear, snapped his fingers, and a hundred-yuan bill appeared in his empty right hand. He then showed it to Chu Yi: "Is that so?"
Chu Yi accepted the banknote without changing his expression and said, "This hundred yuan is what I lost."
... ...
Zhou Qiong checked the time; it was almost midnight.
He immediately looked up and saw Tong Shida, the handsome man, performing magic tricks. There were onlookers all around, and Chu Yi watched intently, clapping and cheering.
Zhou Qiong tugged at Chu Yi: "Yi Yi, we should go home."
"Let's play a little longer..." Chu Yi said reluctantly.
"We should go home now. My brother has made a rule that we can't stay out too long at night."
Bringing up Chu Fang, Chu Yi thought of his childhood experiences, sighed, and said to Tong Shida, "Handsome, could you give me your contact information?"
"no problem."
Zhou Qiong frowned, wanting to say something, but seeing Chu Yi's interested expression, she ultimately kept quiet.
The two added each other on WeChat, and Zhou Qiong pulled Chu Yi away.
I left the bar.
Zhou Qiong said, "Yiyi, why did you add him on WeChat?"
"He's quite interesting." Chu Yi straightened her head and felt that her trip to the bar today was worthwhile. Noticing her best friend's worry, she pinched Zhou Qiong's cheek: "Oh, Qiongqiong, don't worry, I just find him interesting, I don't have any other thoughts."
"That Tong Shida is not a good person."
"They paid for both of us, you ungrateful little thing."
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. That person must frequent these kinds of complicated places and have a lot of ulterior motives..."
"Relax, relax." Chu Yi interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
Zhou Qiong pursed her lips, then sighed.
She knew Chu Yi well; he wouldn't listen to anything right now, so she could only wait until things calmed down before talking to him again.
The two then went home hand in hand.
... ...
That bar.
Seeing that Chu Yi and Zhou Qiong had disappeared, Tong Shida stopped performing magic tricks, and the onlookers who had been watching him earlier sat down next to him.
Someone remarked, "Oh, has Tong Shao's taste changed? He likes little girls now."
Another person said, "You know what, those two young ladies are really pretty and have great poise. When are you planning to make your move?"
“This time I’m serious.” Tong Shida drank a bottle of beer.
"When have you ever not been serious?"
“I’m serious every time and I put my heart into it, but even the most intense feelings have an expiration time, and there’s nothing I can do about it.”
"Your feelings can only last until you check out, right?"
Upon hearing this, everyone laughed.
