Seemingly having heard Gu Xinghe's evaluation of her, Teresa looked at him with a questioning gaze.
"I mean... this drink doesn't seem bad at all."
Gu Xinghe shook the wine glass in his hand and quickly changed the subject.
"Of course, the starry river I like is definitely the best."
At this point, Theresa did not insist on asking any further questions, but simply picked up where Gu Xinghe left off and continued speaking.
However, what she said seemed to have a double meaning.
After a while, when she didn't get the reaction she expected from Gu Xinghe's face, Theresa deliberately drew out her words.
"It tastes better than [Misfortune] at least."
"Really? Then I'll give you the entire Milky Way, okay?"
After Gu Xinghe finished drinking with both of them, there was about half a cup of "Xinghe" left, which he handed back to Theresa.
That's so unfair!
Listen to Theresa's innermost thoughts.
Gu Xinghe smiled and patted the head of the girl who had become like a steampunk princess.
Theresa's hair felt smooth and delicate to the touch, like the finest silk.
She was holding the wine that Gu Xinghe handed her with both hands, taking small sips.
She looks like a cute girl with low attack and low defense.
Gu Xinghe thought to himself as he looked at Theresa.
After finishing her drink of the "Galaxy" wine, Theresa seemed to remember something and asked Gu Xinghe a question.
"However, Mr. Gu Xinghe, if you're not good at bartending, why did you choose to become a bartender?"
"Well, that's precisely why we must bravely overcome the things we're not good at!"
"Really?"
Theresa leaned closer to Gu Xinghe, trying to find a hint of suspicion in his expression.
Extremely naturally, Gu Xinghe pinched Theresa's cheek with his left hand.
"Of course it's true!"
His expression was righteous and indignant, showing no sign of anything amiss.
But viewers who knew the background were clearly happy to expose Gu Xinghe's blunder—
[Hilarious! Gu Ge doesn't want to be a bartender either; he wants to be the assistant manager too!]
When Carl made the suggestion to him, his face clearly showed his agreement.
But the game system told him: No, you don't want to!
"In that case, how about I teach you some bartending techniques?"
Theresa smiled and made the suggestion to Gu Xinghe.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinghe had not yet spoken.
But Teresa could still see the surprise and confusion on his face, as if to say, "You can actually mix drinks?"
Because your past life and your current situation are exactly the same.
Although all the steps and ingredients were correct, the resulting drink just just didn't taste right.
So at that time, I could only teach myself and then mix drinks for you.
From what I heard about Theresa's innermost thoughts.
Gu Xinghe felt that she was simply a girl who helplessly doted on her boyfriend.
For some reason, I also felt a sense of déjà vu, like a mother who was disappointed in her son for not living up to his potential.
Shaking his head, Gu Xinghe quickly banished that latter thought from his mind.
However, Xinghe absolutely cannot know about this!
"I know now," Gu Xinghe thought to himself, and sighed silently.
"Because...because despite my appearance, I'm actually from a wealthy family."
It's perfectly normal to learn bartending... right?
As she spoke, Theresa's voice grew weaker and weaker, and she seemed to lose confidence in her explanation.
"Oh, so you need bodyguards with you when you go out."
Gu Xinghe didn't continue teasing Theresa at this point, but simply continued along with her explanation.
"But they don't seem very professional..."
Thinking back to the two bodyguards he had encountered outside the door earlier, Gu Xinghe felt that their behavior was clearly not quite right.
It's called protection, but it's clearly more like a form of surveillance and security.
Teresa, however, already understood what was going on.
"I apologize, it was my bodyguard who was rude."
We won't let anyone bother us next time.
The identity of the saintess seems to have been subject to protection and surveillance from all sides.
From Theresa's perspective, she didn't like this identity at all.
In her public conversations with Gu Xinghe, Teresa's current persona seems to be that of a wealthy young lady with strict access restrictions.
It seems to be a subtle allusion to her true identity.
Although on the surface, Theresa was undoubtedly free.
But in some ways, she seems to be just like Chris, a caged bird.
"It's alright, Theresa, come and teach me how to mix a bar."
Without thinking any further, Gu Xinghe only wanted to go along with the girl's wishes.
"OK!"
However, at this time, apart from the unopened bottles of wine that Teresa had ordered earlier, the private room was empty.
It was obvious that there were no professional equipment or other necessary materials for bartending.
Gu Xinghe was wondering how Teresa wanted to teach bartending.
Theresa placed her right hand over his left palm.
Then, her right hand fingers slowly bent down, and at this moment, the two of them were clasped together.
Theresa gently stroked the back of Gu Xinghe's hand, then raised her own fingers.
Compared to Gu Xinghe, Teresa's hands, being a woman, were smaller and softer.
Her extremely soft fingers gently caressed Gu Xinghe's calloused fingertips, giving him a strange tactile sensation.
"When holding the spoon, remember that your middle finger should be on the outside and your ring finger on the inside..."
Theresa's gentle voice rang in his ear.
