Chapter 4 Chapter 4 His skills are good but not practical
When they arrived at the bar, it was not yet opening time. As soon as Chen Buqian entered, he ran to his friend who looked very much like a virgin, wanting to ask him whether he was still a virgin or not. This made the man look puzzled, thinking that he was having a seizure again.
Without Chen Buqian arguing in his ear, Qi Yan went to find the bar owner first. The other party had just woken up and said as soon as he saw him: "The things are on the second floor under the cabinet in my office. You can get them when you leave. Go change your clothes and come to help later."
"Okay, thank you Brother Xu."
The other party yawned and patted his shoulder: "Don't be so polite. It may not be easy to investigate next. Your half brother has hooked up with the Shen family. Do you understand?"
Qi Yan paused: "Shen family?"
"Yes, it's the Shen family. I heard that the other party loves him to death and might get married soon. If he really marries someone from the Shen family, then you have to be careful and can't continue investigating like this."
Brother Xu reminded, "I heard from your uncle that you want to join the Shen family's private research institute. Be careful recently. Don't run into him. Don't let him know your identity. Otherwise, with his narrow-mindedness, he will definitely trip you up."
"Okay, I'll be more careful." Qi Yan frowned slightly. His originally good mood turned a little bad when he heard the news.
"Don't think too much. If it doesn't work, just change to another research institute or study abroad. With your ability and grades, you don't have to enter the Shen family's research institute." Brother Xu said with a smile.
Qi Yan also smiled and said, "You're right, I'll consider it. The opening time seems to be approaching, I'll go change my clothes first and then go help."
"Haha, then I'll trouble you to stand behind the bar and be the waiter tonight. But please don't mix cocktails for anyone. I'm afraid that customers will rush into the bar and beat you up, and ruin my drinks." Brother Xu joked.
Qi Yan was very confident about his ability to mix drinks, and said, "Don't worry, everyone knows my ability to mix drinks. Unless they want to die, they won't ask me to mix drinks."
The wine he mixed was so hard that no one could drink it.
Brother Xu sighed: "I hope no newcomer will be fooled by your harmless face and ask you to mix him a drink."
Qi Yan is handsome and has a good figure. His affectionate peach blossom eyes seem to be sending sparks whenever he looks at someone, making people completely bewitched. So there are always people who are not discouraged and try to let him try to make cocktails. It turns out that his cocktail-making posture is cool, charming, smooth and neat, and looks very professional and reliable.
Once the guest receives the wine and takes a sip, his bewildered mind will be completely awakened.
Well, this handsome bartender's skills are not very useful.
Paying him to make cocktails is actually just to watch the process, it’s best not to drink the alcohol.
As soon as it was eight o'clock in the evening, the bar was open for business as usual and many customers had already arrived. Chen Buqian originally wanted to sit at the bar where Qi Yan was as a guest, but was pulled away by Brother Xu to serve as a soldier. The restaurant had just opened and was not very busy yet. He was looking at the waiter surrounded by a group of omegas with red eyes.
She was a very handsome female alpha, with a cool wolf-tail hairstyle, sharp and bold facial features, very charmingly handsome, and a somewhat bohemian temperament. She talked to the omegas around her with a smile on her face, making people blush. She opened bottle of wine one after another right after the opening.
Chen Buqian was extremely envious and said sourly, "Qi Yan, look at Langlang. She has almost turned a decent bar into a gigolo parlor. She is so shameless...ah!"
Before he could finish his words, a group of people suddenly rushed up and pushed Chen Buqian, who was wearing a bartender's uniform, aside without noticing. They were looking at Qi Yan behind the bar with surprise and joy.
"Qi Yan, you're still here. I thought you resigned and would never come again."
"I haven't seen you for a long time. We all thought you weren't coming. Come on, give me a drink."
Many of them were regular customers. They were chatting with him one after another. Some asked Qi Yan why he hadn't come for so long, asked him to help pour a glass of wine, praised him for becoming more and more handsome, and some asked Qi Yan to mix cocktails. Just looking at his handsome posture, they were very excited, but no one dared to drink the drinks he mixed.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I've been busy with school recently, so I haven't had time to come...Okay, what would this guest like to drink...Thank you for the compliment. You're very pretty and charming...I'm sorry, I can't make cocktails. The boss will say I'm wasting his wine...Is that so? Fine, then, let's quietly make a drink. I hope you won't be too disappointed after drinking it."
Across the bar, after entering the business state, Qi Yan, who was usually afraid of customers, responded with ease and accuracy, with a faint smile on his lips. His affectionate peach blossom eyes looked at the customers as if they were flirting everywhere, completely disguising his discomfort. He appeared gentle and polite, giving the customers enough emotional value.
The bartender's uniform he wore showed off his good figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist. His white sleeves were rolled up, revealing the smooth muscle lines of his forearms. His cocktail-mixing posture was elegant and his expression was focused and serious. The liquor flowing from the bottle fell into the glass in a graceful arc.
Naturally, regular customers were afraid to drink the resulting drink, but new customers took a sip and immediately asked for a glass of cold water to dilute the strange taste.
Chen Buqian, who was pushed aside while watching him chatting and laughing with many beautiful omegas, said: "..."
Shit, miscalculated.
Regardless of the fact that Qi Yan hadn't been here for a long time, everyone's enthusiasm was much greater than before, and there was no chance at all to just sit there and be surrounded.
Being ignored, Chen Buqian gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, I shouldn't have trusted him. They are all scumbags without moral integrity!"
I have an omega, and he's still flirting with me here and there.
"Old Chen, don't just stand there, come over and help!"
As more and more customers came, the unwilling Chen Buqian was soon dragged away and had no time to talk to the pretty little Os.
As a waiter, Qi Yan would never leave the bar. As the bar became more and more lively and the resident band began to perform, the whole audience cheered, and the people who had been surrounding Qi Yan finally changed their positions.
Finally having some free time, Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It was very easy for him to chat across the bar, which was one of the reasons why Qi Yan always thought he was not afraid of o.
After all, which normal alpha would be afraid of o? At most, he subconsciously kept his distance from the omega group because of a strange dream, but it was definitely not o-phobia.
Ye Chengcheng, the bartender at the bar, walked up to him and said with a smile, "Brother Qi, you haven't been here for a long time. Everyone is so enthusiastic. Are you a little overwhelmed?"
"It's actually not that bad. They're just afraid that they'll ask me to mix the drinks." Qi Yan said helplessly, as if he had a headache. "If I mix the drinks, no one will dare to drink them. When Brother Xu sees them, he'll feel bad that his drinks are wasted."
Ye Chengcheng pursed her lips and smiled softly, with cute dimples on her cheeks: "Because Brother Qi, the process of mixing drinks is very beautiful and reliable. People like to watch you mix drinks. It's very handsome and attractive. What we spend money on is visual happiness."
"But why does the drink you made taste so strange? The order and the amount are correct."
Ye Chengcheng was puzzled and wanted to go over to take a look at his tools, but he happened to hear someone asking him to help mix cocktails, so he had to go back to his seat to work.
"It is indeed strange."
The lights were flickering and the brilliant colors were spinning. Qi Yan took a bottle of wine and shook it gently. In his opinion, the process of mixing a cocktail is similar to an experiment, and he can just mix it according to the amount, but he always fails...
"Hello, could you please make me a drink?" A clear and cold voice sounded, and the tone was deliberately slowed down to make it sound much softer.
"Oh, sorry, I can't make it here... Hey, why are you here?" Qi Yan took away the bottle, looked carefully at the person sitting at the bar, and was a little surprised.
Unlike last night, the neighbor wore a pair of black-framed glasses. The black frame just covered the three teardrop moles under his left eye, but he didn't look dull. His handsome face was still cold and restrained. With the top two buttons of his white shirt undone, you could see that he was not using a pheromone isolation patch, but a black pheromone isolation neck ring.
No matter how you look at it, this kind of person doesn't look like the type who would hang out in a bar.
The neighbor seemed a little surprised, and then smiled softly: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here. Thank you very much for your help last night."
He smiled beautifully, his eyes curved with a tinge of joy, which diluted his aloof and cold temperament, but also gave Qi Yan an especially awkward feeling, as if he shouldn't smile like that.
"We are all neighbors, it's normal to help each other, and you've said it many times last night." Qi Yan felt that his thoughts were too strange, so he restrained himself and didn't show it. He smiled and said, "This is your first time here, right? The drinks I mix are not good. If you want to drink mixed drinks, it's better to go find the bartender."
He pointed at Ye Chengcheng who was making cocktails for the customers. Her movements were fluent and beautiful, and she smiled sweetly at the customers. She was also a very popular omega bartender in the bar. However, the four people sitting in front of Ye Chengcheng seemed to be a little strange.
Are you planning to cause trouble?
Qi Yan observed the four men calmly. They were tall and strong with sharp eyes. From time to time, he looked at the stage and glanced around. Every move he made was neat and tidy, and they all looked like martial artists.
"But you look very professional. I think it should taste good." The neighbor's voice rang out, drawing Qi Yan's attention back. He was fiddling with his phone, as if he was texting someone on the other end of the phone. After he finished texting, he looked up and smiled at Qi Yan.
"That's all an illusion. I only look professional on the outside." Qi Yan had a standard smile on his face when facing customers. He was gentle, polite and courteous, hiding that hint of alienation and indifference deep down.
The neighbor put away his phone, and raised his lips slightly: "You put it this way, it will make people more curious. Just mix a cup of your specialty. Don't worry, I will drink it all and won't waste it."
“…”
I use my hands to mix all the good wines into something that normal people cannot drink, Qi Yan really wanted to say this.
He glanced at Ye Chengcheng. Three of the four guests had left, leaving only one person chatting with Ye Chengcheng, and they seemed to be having a very happy conversation. The other three were sitting in a booth not far away, watching the band's performance. They also took the light sticks handed over by excited fans and joined in the fun.
Qi Yan: “…”
I was wrong. He seemed to be a normal customer, not here to cause trouble.
"Since you want to drink, I'll make you a cup. But you don't have to finish it. If you take a sip and don't want it, just stop in time." There are still so many people who won't cry until they see the coffin. Qi Yan has long been used to it.
The neighbor kept staring at him: "It's okay, I'll finish it."
What a strange neighbor.
Qi Yan didn't think much about it and said jokingly: "I don't have any specialties, so you should order what you want to drink. Maybe you can compare and see how poor my skills are."
The neighbor licked his dry lips unconsciously, his fingers curled slightly. Under the gorgeous light, his face looked somewhat gloomy and beautiful: "...Mojito, okay?"
"No problem." Qi Yan agreed readily. This is easy.
I made a low-alcohol mojito for my neighbor on the spot. It had a sweet and sour taste with a refreshing mint flavor. Many omegas like this drink.
However, Qi Yan felt that after his neighbors finished drinking the drink he made, they would probably never dare to drink it again.
"Here, try it." Qi Yan pushed the prepared mojito and a glass of cold water over.
The neighbor was a little confused and pointed at the glass of cold water: "What is this?"
"For gargling." Qi Yan was very cautious and explained briefly.
Neighbor:"……"
"I don't think I will need it." His eyes curved and the smile on his face became even more intense.
That’s hard to say. Qi Yan is very experienced, and everyone who drinks the cocktail he mixes for the first time says the same thing.
Qi Yan watched his neighbor stretch out his hand to hold the wine glass. Last night, the situation was urgent and he didn't look at it for long. Now, looking closely, his fingers were very beautiful, slender and elegant, like a carefully carved work of art.
His cold white skin looked even whiter under the bright lights of the bar, delicate and smooth like cold jade, with slightly pink fingertips and knuckles, very beautiful and attractive. Qi Yan looked at his hands, so familiar that he was a little dazzled.
A strange fragment of memory suddenly emerged in my mind.
He watched the other person pick up the wine glass with imperceptible expectation, thinking that he would take a sip, but before he could see the scene he wanted, the other person picked up the wine glass and without hesitation poured all the wine and ice cubes on his face, bringing a bone-chilling chill.
——"Are you deliberately disgusting me?"
A cold voice filled with sarcasm and disgust rang out sharply in his brain, stirring his brain vigorously and causing his heart to ache so much that he almost couldn't breathe.
For no apparent reason, my right hand began to throb with nervous pain, as if it had been interrupted before.
Subconsciously, Qi Yan took two steps back.
"What's wrong?" The neighbor who was about to try the flavor looked at him curiously with excitement that was difficult to hide.
Qi Yan was brought back to reality by the noisy sounds around him. Everything was normal, and the pain in his right hand disappeared. Only he felt strange.
He calmed himself down, thinking about what had just happened, and said to his neighbor in a joking tone, "Oh, it's nothing. I'm just afraid that the wine is too hard to drink and you'll splash it on my face in the next second."
It was just an ordinary joke, but the neighbor's face turned pale in an instant.
