Chapter 11 Chapter 11 There are so many coincidences
"I didn't sneak out!"
As soon as Qi Yan walked into the bar, he heard You Yi loudly retorting: "It's just a mere family fortune. I'm not a second-generation rich man who doesn't work hard and doesn't know how to grow crops. I have plenty of strength and means, and I will never bow down to money easily! I have already let my father see my determination to pursue my dreams, and no one can stop me this time!"
Looking up, the band members and the bartender were sitting together, grinning and saying to You Yi: "Haha, if you don't work hard enough and fail in pursuing your dreams, will you have to go back and inherit the billions of dollars?"
"Wow, that's not bad, there are ways to go forward or backward." Xu Langlang applauded, "If you don't want to work hard, you will have to go home and inherit the tens of billions of assets, Youyi, you are so pitiful."
"Damn it, can you guys be more normal and listen to human words!" You Yi strangled the lead singer's neck unhappily and stretched out his foot to kick Xu Langlang, "I'm serious this time!"
Xu Langlang stepped back to avoid You Yi's outstretched foot, and spread his hands with a chuckle: "We are serious too, you are such a jealous kid, everyone thought you were so poor that you couldn't even afford to eat, but it turns out you are a damn rich second generation, if you don't work hard you have to go home and inherit the family fortune, it's really... abominable!"
"That's right, that's right. Now you want to murder me who picked up a 'stray puppy'. Ah, Youyi is too much!" The lead singer said sadly while wiping away non-existent tears.
"Damn it, who is the stray puppy? Stop pretending to cry, you are obviously trying to lure me into your band on purpose, you kidnapper!"
"Whoever I picked up will be the one to tell me!"
"Hahaha, if Lao Zhou hadn't picked you up, you wouldn't even need bodyguards to kidnap you, and you would have to bow your head for bread... Damn it, Qi Yan!"
Xu Langlang smiled and took two steps back. He accidentally stepped on Qi Yan's foot and almost fell down. Qi Yan pushed him in the opposite direction towards the bar, so he did not fall to the ground or into Qi Yan's arms.
"No, Qi Yan, can't you just help me? Why did you have to push me? Are you not only afraid of O but also A?"
Xu Langlang simply sat on the high chair in front of the bar and deliberately teased Qi Yan who suddenly appeared.
"Well, I'm phobic of all genders, both ABO and FBO." Faced with her teasing, Qi Yan spoke nonsense without blinking.
"Tsk, you'd better tell the truth." Xu Langlang rolled his eyes and lit a cigarette in a casual manner, "Want one?"
Qi Yan refused: "No, smoking is harmful to health, I won't do it."
"...You'd better not let me see you smoking or falling in love in this life, otherwise I will definitely teach you a lesson." Xu Langlang said with a sneer.
Qi Yan laughed and said, "I definitely won't be able to see it in this life, but maybe in my last life."
Come to think of it, sometimes the dream fragments are quite similar to the traces left over from the previous life. In that strange, false yet inexplicably real dream, he smoked too much. After returning to reality, Qi Yan would feel a strong sense of disconnection. After all, he is a non-smoker.
But I also feel that maybe I will smoke in the future. After all, some dreams are too much like precognitive dreams. When reality and dreams overlap, people will have a sense of déjà vu.
It was just like the lively bar scene before him, which had also happened in his dreams, like a feast of blooming flowers, attracting him to walk over and appreciate it.
But once Qi Yan walked over, the dream would undergo a drastic reversal. Everyone disappeared, the dim and swaying lights, the overturned long table, the smashed chairs, the broken wine bottles, the winding wine and glass fragments all over the ground, leaving a mess.
Only a pair of cold, venomous eyes like poisonous snakes were left, tightly wrapped around him, bringing a strong deterrent and aggression, restraining and controlling him, making people very unhappy.
"Here, have a drink." Xu Langlang took a bottle of wine from the bar and poured a glass for each of them.
Qi Yan stared at the expensive wine she opened. He hesitated for a moment and reminded her, "You will be beaten up by Brother Xu."
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Xu's irritable voice rang out from above: "Xu Langlang, how come you, a bastard, secretly drank my wine again! Ah ah! Damn little bastard! And you specially picked such an expensive bottle of wine!"
"Hey, it's a rare opportunity for Youyi to escape from the 'sea of suffering', let's drink a bottle to celebrate!"
"Hey, don't use me as an excuse! I'm penniless now and can't afford to pay!" When You Yi was kicked out, the only thing in his pocket was a hundred yuan for taxi fare that his father secretly stuffed into his pocket.
The lead singer dragged You Yi over and said in great surprise: "Well, since it's opened, give me a glass too. It's rare that the wine the manager likes has been opened, so don't waste it!"
"Qi Yan, have you drank yours? If not, give it to me!"
A noisy crowd pressed over, and the area suddenly became lively. Everyone scrambled for wine amidst Brother Xu's cursing. There were too many people who wanted to drink, and Xu Langlang saw that there was not enough wine, so she took the opportunity to open another bottle, which made Xu Ge, who was standing on the second floor, run down angrily. He grabbed her by the back of the collar, punched her a few times, and held the empty bottle of wine in pain, sighing constantly, and wanted to hit her again.
"Lululu, it's just two bottles of wine. Why are you so distressed, you miser!" Xu Langlang turned around and escaped from him, hiding behind Qi Yan and continuing to provoke him.
"Hey, stay away from me, don't let others get hurt."
Qi Yan didn't want to be a shield and tried to leave, but he was squeezed by a large crowd and couldn't escape. He had to listen to people on his left and right arguing across him, and he had to find time to answer other people's questions.
Well, it’s really lively and noisy.
Youyi took a sip, couldn't drink it, and stuffed it to the lead singer who was eager to try. He remembered the night he was kidnapped, Shen Xiliu also showed up, and because he had talked with Ye Chengcheng, he noticed something.
"Hey, Brother Qi, it was my cousin who followed orders to kidnap me that night. I heard from Cheng Cheng that it seemed like you were the one who made drinks for my cousin. Did he cry because of the bad drinks? Did he cause trouble to you because of the bad drinks?"
You Yi had an excited smile on his face, fearing that Qi Yan would not remember, and he even described Shen Xiliu's appearance on purpose: "He is the one who wears a black suit all day, has three moles under his left eye, looks good, but is very arrogant and cold, a bad guy who looks particularly annoying!"
His expression looked as if he was expecting Shen Xiliu to suffer a setback.
I didn't expect You Yi to ask about this matter, and Qi Yan felt that the Shen Xiliu he knew was not the same as the one You Yi described. If he hadn't described Shen Xiliu's characteristics, Qi Yan would have thought that You Yi had mistaken the person.
Unexpectedly, when he met Shen Xiliu in the morning, he sounded very intimate when talking about his cousin, and seemed happy to talk to him about his cousin, which led Qi Yan to mistakenly believe that the cousins had a good relationship.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
"No, that gentleman is a very polite person. Even though the mojito I made was terrible, he didn't say anything. He is quite gentle and good-tempered." Qi Yan only expressed his understanding of Shen Xiliu.
You Yi's expression suddenly changed, and he opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "Huh? Is this true? Is that guy still so good at pretending? I can't believe it, that guy has such a bad temper!"
Could it be that he has changed his gender? Have you learned to get along with others like him, being kind, enthusiastic, generous and cheerful?
What exactly does your cousin look like in your eyes?
Qi Yan laughed and said, "It's not that exaggerated. He was quite polite and finished all the wine."
"I think there must be a mistake." You Yi thought for two seconds and said decisively, "If his temper is so good, the one you saw must not be my cousin."
"After all, my cousin has nothing to do with words like polite, gentle, courteous, and good-tempered. Maybe you got the wrong person."
Because Youyi's tone was too decisive, Qi Yan became a little curious. After all, in his opinion, Shen Xiliu was a good-natured person, but the person in You Yi's mouth was very different from the person he knew.
...But it's normal when you think about it.
Most people will add a layer of protective disguise in front of outsiders, so that they look decent and not out of line, appearing like an alien who doesn't fit in. This disguise is often only removed in front of people they are close to and trust.
As Shen Xiliu's cousin, You Yi grew up with him, so he is naturally a close and trusted person. Brothers and sisters who grew up playing together tend to dislike each other, just like Qi Yan's cousins.
Therefore, Qi Yan would not think too much about it, and would not suspect that Shen Xiliu was deliberately disguising himself to get close to him. After all, he was not worthy of this, and it was not worth Shen Xiliu's effort to design an encounter and acquaintance. Nor will he be like a coward, appearing to be elegant on the outside but actually feeling shy while talking about awkward topics.
He even changed his relationship with his cousin just to use the "cousin" they both had in common as a topic of conversation and chat with him a little more.
School is about to start, and as soon as the night comes, the bar opens on time, dazzling lights are intertwined, the orchestra's vocals roar and impact every inch of space, carnival cheers sound, bodies sway on the dance floor, the booths are filled with guests, and the atmosphere is high.
Everyone is very busy tonight. The bartenders are shuttling among the crowd. Xu Langlang is sitting in the booth like a butterfly, almost drowned by the beautiful omegas. Even Qi Yan doesn't have a moment of free time. The bar is surrounded by people. The four bartenders are all serving the guests and are too busy to stop. The carnival night is always very lively.
It was not until midnight that someone took over and Qi Yan found a chance to go out and take a breath, even though the ventilation equipment in the bar would add a proper amount of pheromone removers.
But when there are too many people, it is inevitable that a small amount of pheromones will overflow and mix with some perfumes. Coupled with the passionate atmosphere in the bar, it is very contagious, stimulating the brain to secrete dopamine, leading to continuous excitement, and even Qi Yan is inevitably affected.
But he didn't stay outside for long and went to the bathroom to wash his face. As soon as ten minutes were up, he estimated that the most exciting game in the bar tonight would begin.
"Who on earth came up with this stupid idea to play this unlucky game?"
Qi Yan rubbed his shoulders helplessly and was about to go back to help, but as soon as he walked in, he saw an extremely eye-catching and familiar figure. He kept a certain distance from the revelers and was quite conspicuous even in the dark.
Chen Xiliu seemed to be looking for someone, but didn't want to squeeze with the crowd, so he didn't go in. Probably looking for a cruise?
Qi Yan thought and stopped for a while, but Shen Xiliu, who was originally looking for someone, seemed to have heard his footsteps accurately among the noisy sounds, and suddenly turned around and looked at him.
The moment she saw him, her eyes behind the lenses were instantly filled with joy, and the corners of Shen Xiliu's mouth curled up: "Qi Yan, what a coincidence."
“…”
Unable to hide their joy, they looked at each other. Qi Yan didn't hear his voice, but he could tell what Shen Xiliu wanted to say.
How could there be so many coincidences? This is where he works. It's obviously intentional.
This sentence flashed through my mind.
At the same time, the music in the entire bar suddenly stopped, but Shen Xiliu was still looking at Qi Yan, and his gaze was not distracted by the accident.
Everyone heard the voice echoing in the bar. It was Xu Langlang's hearty voice with passion and mischief: "The long-awaited special program 'Carnival Game' is about to begin. The curtain is about to be raised. Please be prepared to welcome this unforgettable and passionate..."
Qi Yan listened to Xu Langlang's voice full of mischief, looked at Shen Xiliu who was standing next to the excited revelers, and his expression changed slightly.
"Oops! Shen Xiliu, don't stand there, get out of here!"
Without asking, he knew that Shen Xiliu definitely didn't know what the "carnival game" in the bar was!
