In the long silence, Shi Jin raised his eyes: "I..."

The rest of the words were stuck in his throat.

He stared at the enlarged handsome face in front of him in a daze, his mind going blank.

Yu Ci didn't think there was anything wrong. He blinked twice his beautiful peach blossom eyes, and his long eyelashes seemed to dance. They were so close that Shi Jin seemed to feel the cool breeze between his eyelashes.

"What's wrong? What do you want to say?" Yu Ci kept leaning forward with a calm face, not feeling anything strange at all: "Your voice is too soft, I have to do this to hear clearly."

Shi Jin turned her head uncomfortably, her dark eyelashes drooping like the wings of a fluttering butterfly.

The distance was so close that he could feel the hot breath from Yu Ci spraying on his earlobe.

Shi Jin felt that the side of his face seemed a little hot.

He pursed his lips and raised his voice slightly: "I said, you seem to be very familiar with this bar."

Yu Ci raised an eyebrow.

He seemed to change the subject.

But it doesn't matter.

“You’re talking about this.” Yu Ci curled his lips nonchalantly and nodded casually: “It’s okay, I own this bar.”

He sat up straight and tapped his fingertips on the bar. "This is my home turf."

"It's a pity you don't drink, otherwise I could make you a drink."

The heat surrounding him finally went away, Shi Jin's eyebrows moved slightly, and his tense body relaxed a little;

His movement was not big, but he was still seen by Yu Ci who was staring at him all the time.

Yu Ci held his chin with his right hand, and squinted his peach blossom eyes, which were particularly radiant under the light, and joked in a half-seriously half-false tone: "Hey, roommate, we are all men, do you have to hide from me like you are hiding from something?"

Shi Jin's eyelashes moved slightly.

He licked his lips to distract himself from the nervousness that came from nowhere: "I'm just... not used to being too close to people."

Yu Ci's attention was attracted by the tongue that flashed by. It was pink and tender, and looked nothing like its owner's cold appearance.

He felt inexplicably dry in the mouth.

Yu Ci picked up the cocktail at hand and drank it all in one gulp. The cold liquid flowed down his throat, extinguishing the inexplicable anger in his heart.

The culprit that caused his dry mouth was still sitting in front of him.

He was only wearing a simple black shirt.

Cold white skin, black hair, and light-colored lips.

The red mole between his eyebrows was half-hidden by the loose hair on his forehead. He lowered his eyes and even his breathing was shallow.

So Yu Ci thought of the woman he saw that night.

He reached out and tugged at his collar, loosening the top few buttons. "I say, do all your brothers and sisters have the attribute of being ethereal?"

"Um?"

"I met a woman who looked very much like you at the door of the bar next door a few days ago." When Yu Ci said this, he stared at Shi Jin's expression. Seeing that he seemed to have no reaction, he continued.

"That woman was also dressed in black, and was cold and indifferent, just like you. She felt like she could step on the clouds and become an immortal in the next second."

Shi Jin frowned.

Why doesn’t he remember meeting Yu Ci that night?

So the person that Yu Ci mentioned as looking familiar on the stairs that day was actually him?

But I can’t say this directly.

So Shi Jin's expression was indifferent. He raised his eyes, and his eyes were calm: "The one you are talking about should be my sister. We have looked similar since we were young."

After all, Yu Ci probably won't have the chance to meet Shi Jian, so whether they look alike is up to him to decide.

Shi Jin had already prepared himself mentally when he was planning to dress up as a woman to look for inspiration, but this mental preparation did not mean that he could accept that everyone around him knew about it.

He was just looking for inspiration, not having a fetish for cross-dressing.

It is better to save this kind of trouble if possible.

Therefore, Shi Jin's expression was unusually calm when he said this, and he referred to the woman that night as time without any psychological burden at all.

Yu Ci nodded thoughtfully: "Is that so..."

There are quite a few customers in the bar. In addition to some who come here simply to drink and have fun, and some who come here for partying, the remaining small number come here with the mentality of hunting for beauty.

Dim lights, slightly tipsy, and with a dazed look in his eyes.

This is the perfect place for a beautiful encounter to develop.

Shi Jin and Yu Ci, who have outstanding looks, were targeted as soon as they came in.

One is cool and elegant, the other is lazy and unrestrained.

There were quite a few people in the bar who were eager to try this pair.

After watching for a while and confirming that the two handsome guys were not what they imagined, someone took action.

The hot girl in the red dress walked towards the bar counter, swaying with every step, wearing ten-centimeter high heels.

First, there was a fragrant scent of roses. The scent lingering in the beauty's hair spread as she fiddled with her hair. She sat down leisurely beside her target, very confident in her charm.

She had high standards. In the past, there were no more than three people who could make her take the initiative, but she invited almost all of them to the table. Therefore, the woman was very confident that she would get what she wanted today.

She slowly raised a finger to the bartender at the bar. Her finger, painted with bright red nail polish, was white and slender. "A glass of Bloody Mary."

The cocktail shaker in the bartender's hand flew up and down, which was very exciting.

But women's purpose is not to see how he mixes drinks.

She adjusted her expression, and her eyes, which were outlined with thin eyeliner, narrowed slightly, giving a very seductive expression.

She turned her head, expecting to see the man looking at her, but unexpectedly she only saw the profile of a handsome man staring blankly at the cup in his hand.

woman;??

I'm such a beautiful woman sitting next to you, and you're actually staring at a cup in a daze?

The woman's curled lips froze.

But she recovered quickly, and her slender fingertips casually lifted her hair. The woman seemed to have just noticed the person next to her: "Good evening, sir."

Her voice is like thick honey being pressed and ground on paper. The rough and granular texture with a sweet scent makes almost everyone who hears it look sideways.

Shi Jin is no exception.

Living alone at home for a long time has made his ears extremely sensitive, and any sound above a certain decibel will attract his attention.

So he shifted his gaze away from the cup and met the woman's hooked gaze.

The woman looked at him with a smile, the lustful meaning in her eyes was clear.

Shi Jin calmly looked away.

The woman was not repelled by his cold attitude. Seeing that Shi Jin was no veteran in bar hunting, she changed her approach with ease.

She took the opportunity to pull the chair closer to Shi Jin while they were talking and asked, "What did you order? Is it delicious?"

A strong scent of perfume hit her in the face. For ordinary people, the scent of perfume that is just right is irritating to Shi Jin's overly sensitive nose.

Shi Jin held his breath slightly, put the cup in his hand on the table, and by doing so he slightly distanced himself from the woman.

Feeling the woman's gaze on him, he frowned slightly and answered simply: "Not bad."

The woman smiled and moved closer: "Do you mind if I try it?"

She stared straight at Shi Jin, the meaning in her eyes was very obvious, and the words she asked also carried a double meaning.

"Or, how about we go somewhere else?"

The woman's hints were subtle but direct, and with her outstanding looks and good figure, it was hard for a man to refuse her invitation.

Shi Jin had no experience in dealing with such direct gestures. He was not good at accepting other people's advances, let alone an invitation from a woman that had an alternative flavor.

If it were according to his usual temper, he would have just refused directly.

But the words of refusal were stuck in his throat, and he suddenly remembered the lost and embarrassed face of the woman in the box just now.

"Brother, you should be more tactful next time when you reject someone, especially a girl. Being too direct can be very hurtful."

Time's earnest words suddenly appeared in my mind.

Shi Jin hesitated.

What is a more euphemistic way of saying it...

After hesitating, he turned to look at Yu Ci.

Yu Ci was watching the show from the sidelines with great interest.

His roommate always behaved in a cold and abstinent manner. When he was teased by a woman, he felt like the poor Tang Monk who had fallen into the Spider Cave and had to hold on to his clothes tightly and chant a few words of "Amitabha" when being teased by a female demon.

It was one thing to watch a play, but since someone was asking for help, he couldn't just ignore it.

Yu Ci cleared his throat: "Ahem."

The woman really looked over and raised her eyes seductively: "Could it be that this gentleman also wants to have a romantic date with me?"

"I'd love to have a pleasant encounter with you." The woman smiled and covered her mouth, her fingertips lightly pointing towards Shi Jin: "But I have to wait until I have a pleasant night with this gentleman first."

Yu Ci unbuttoned the first button of his collar and stood up.

The tall figure blocked some of the light above, and the woman instantly felt oppressed.

She licked her lips excitedly and stared at Yu Ci with interest.

Yu Ci walked towards the two of them with lazy steps and stopped on Shi Jin's right side.

Facing the woman's excited gaze, he raised his eyebrows slightly, put his left hand on Shi Jin's shoulder, and raised his thin lips slightly: "Madam, perhaps I should teach you a lesson."

Feeling his men's body suddenly tense, Yu Ci's eyes showed a smile. He raised his lips, his eyes full of smiles: "Before chatting up someone in a bar, it's best to confirm whether the other person has a companion."

"Obviously, your luck is not very good this time. Yu Ci smiled and raised his chin, with some ambiguity in his tone.

"This person you like." He stretched out his tone, and the smile in his voice made it clear: "Mine."

The woman's interested look became a little strange when Yu Ci's hand rested on Shi Jin's shoulder. Until she heard Yu Ci's last words, she shook her arms, stood up quickly and distanced herself from them.

Her eyes lingered twice between the two people's intimate distance, and finally she stomped her feet angrily and walked away on her slender high heels.

In the distance, the woman's companions were laughing together.

Yu Ci smiled and retracted his gaze: "Roommate, have you thought about how to repay me?"

Shi Jin's eyes met his, thoughtfully.

Is this a euphemism?

But the matter was indeed resolved.

So Shi Jin nodded and looked at Yu Ci: "Thank you."

Yu Ci raised his eyebrows: "That's it?"

He frowned in mock anger: "I sacrificed my reputation for you, and you just said thank you and sent me away?"

Shi Jin tilted his head, looking somewhat puzzled: "Fame?"

The cold and elegant young man tilted his head slightly, his eyes revealing an emotion different from his usual indifferent one, as if an exquisite jade sculpture had human emotions, unexpectedly showing a bit of childish innocence.

Yu Ci's heart suddenly lost its rhythm.
