The two found a relatively secluded spot to sit down and ordered two drinks. Lan Qingyue didn't drink them right away, but instead took out a mirror to look at her face. After all, it was her first time in a bar, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She had deliberately put on such heavy makeup, and the only thing that could be seen clearly was her clear eyes.
The bar's colorful lights flickered, sometimes reflecting in the corners, sometimes shining on someone's face.
In the center of the dance floor, several couples were wildly dancing and partying. The men were dressed fairly casually, but the women were dressed very provocatively, going for the sexiest look possible.
Lan Qingyue had seen several times that a few men would reach out and rub against the slender waist of a woman wearing a see-through dress as they spun around, and the woman would pretend not to see it while dancing.
The music gradually faded, and the men and women on stage left arm in arm. The dynamic music ended, and the stage went dark, replaced by the soft, flowing sound of a piano. In the darkness, many people craned their necks, trying to see the person in the center of the stage.
Lan Qingyue was also very curious about what kind of handsome man and beautiful woman could play such a beautiful piano piece. Although the piano piece was beautiful, it also carried an indescribable sadness. Her mood suddenly dropped. In this unfamiliar world, her only "support" was Chu Chu. What if one day, Chu Chu "turned evil" like in the book?
Overwhelmed with sorrow, Lan Qingyue suddenly lost interest in appreciating the piano music. She grabbed her wine glass and downed it in one gulp. The slightly bitter wine burned her throat, and Lan Qingyue, who wasn't good at drinking, soon felt her cheeks burning.
"I thought my alcohol tolerance would improve after I came into this world," Lan Qingyue muttered to herself.
"What did you say, sister-in-law?" Chu Ying asked. "Are you not a good drinker?"
“No.” Lan Qingyue obediently shook her head.
"Oh dear, why didn't you say so earlier? Shall we go back?" Chu Ying said helplessly, not knowing what to say.
“I’m not going back,” Lan Qingyue waved her hand, paused for a few seconds, placed her hands on the table, lowered her head, pressed her cheeks against the backs of her hands, and slowly spoke, “This is my first time in a bar, I don’t want to go back. Chu Ying, let me tell you, my family has never talked to me about drinking, and I don’t know if they’ll let me drink or not. Anyway, I think that even girls need to learn to drink when they enter society. I’ll tell you a little secret…”
Lan Qingyue leaned closer to Chu Ying and deliberately lowered her voice, "When I was eighteen, I wanted to practice drinking. There was only beer and baijiu at home. I didn't dare to drink beer because my dad liked to count them. If he found out that one bottle was missing, I would be exposed. So I drank baijiu instead."
Chu Ying stared blankly at Lan Qingyue, who was wearing heavy makeup, as she dared to drink baijiu (Chinese liquor) on her first time drinking alcohol.
Lan Qingyue continued, "I didn't know how to drink baijiu, so I poured myself a bowl and chugged it down. It was so bitter and spicy! I poured myself another bowl, but I couldn't swallow it the second time; it was too awful. I immediately felt drunk. My dad came back, and I couldn't let him see my flushed face or smell the alcohol on me, so I went back to take a nap. But I couldn't sleep, so I ate two ice creams and drank a carton of yogurt to sober up..."
Perhaps because they had been drinking, the two were a little tipsy and completely unaware that several pairs of eyes were fixed on them in the bar.
