Seeing the curtain being lowered, Mo Shisheng also turned her gaze away.
As she reached for the wine jug in front of her, a fair, delicate hand took it away.
"..."
Mo Shisheng slowly raised her eyes and saw a face that was hard to describe.
Standing before her was a woman, half of whose face was stunningly beautiful, while the other half was burned beyond recognition.
The wine pot was taken away by the woman in front of him. Mo Shisheng raised his eyebrows slightly, said nothing, and his gaze fell lightly on the woman.
"Mu Qingcheng, what's your name?"
Although Mu Qingcheng's voice was charming, it also carried a natural air of heroism.
"liquor."
Mo Shisheng ignored Mu Qingcheng's overly familiar manner, looked at the wine pot in her hand, and spoke calmly.
"Your name is Jiu? What kind of name is that? How about I call you Jiu?" Mu Qingcheng chuckled, her half-burned face making it impossible to look at her a second time.
Mo Shisheng's eyes remained indifferent, devoid of any emotion, as if Mu Qingcheng were no different from a normal person, even though most of her face had been burned.
Mu Qingcheng naturally noticed this as well. Mo Shisheng's gaze towards her held no discrimination or anything of the sort. Instead, a pleased smile curved her lips. "Jiu, what are you doing drinking alone here all by yourself? Why don't I keep you company?"
Hearing Mu Qingcheng call him "Jiu" so naturally, Mo Shisheng frowned slightly, but didn't bother to correct him.
Seemingly noticing Mo Shisheng's aloof personality, Mu Qingcheng stopped pressuring her for words. Instead, she filled two cups with wine, put the wine pot down, and gently touched the rim of Mo Shisheng's cup with her own.
"Drink it all in one go? It's rare to meet someone as interesting as you."
Mo Shisheng still ignored her and finished his wine.
Because the wine glasses were small, Mo Shisheng mostly drank one glass at a time, but Mu Qingcheng's eyes suddenly lit up. "If you finish your wine, you're my friend! You can drink as much as you want here, it's free!"
"..."
Mo Shisheng glanced at Mu Qingcheng as if she were an idiot, "So rich, does your family own a mine?"
"I own this restaurant. What do you think? Do you like it?" Mu Qingcheng was overjoyed that Mo Shisheng was finally willing to talk to her. She began to tell her story with great enthusiasm, "You don't know, I came to this restaurant all alone and destitute. The owner was already in poor health at the time, but she kindly took me in. So after she left, I took over the management of this restaurant for her until now!"
"..."
This was the first time Mo Shisheng had ever seen someone talk so much. Even though Mo Shisheng's unwillingness to talk to her was written all over her face, how could she still be so enthusiastic?
"You don't know, this restaurant had a fire once. It was a huge fire; I thought I was going to be burned to death. But do you know how I survived?"
Mu Qingcheng's eyes gleamed as she finished another glass of wine, her gaze fixed intently on Mo Shisheng. The intense light in her eyes made Mo Shisheng feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Her lips twitched slightly. "It's raining?"
"Smack!"
Mu Qingcheng slammed her hand excitedly on the table. "Wine, do you have to be so smart?! You guessed it right the first time! You're amazing!"
Mo Shisheng: "..."
She wished she hadn't guessed right...
Mu Qingcheng was engrossed in her drink, completely oblivious to the emotions on Mo Shisheng's face. "Wine, you're practically my soulmate!"
