Chapter 819: Chapter 819: [Side Story] Jumping Clown
“Coming to a bar to drink soda water, Lady Sheng truly stands out; quite unique. Or do you think the drinks in this bar are too low-quality for someone of your status?” Shi Yue’s voice carried a hint of sarcasm, “Honestly, if you really didn’t want to come, you didn’t have to force yourself.”
Tian Yu and Xue Xian both felt their scalps tighten upon hearing her voice.
Here it comes, the stone that had been weighing on their hearts finally felt like it was about to drop.
She thought to herself that it was impossible for these two to meet and not have some kind of conflict.
As expected, she rejoiced too early before.
Afraid the two might start arguing, Tian Yu quickly chimed in, “Yueyue, you haven’t ordered yet. Do you want to check what you’d like to drink?”
Shi Yue shifted her gaze away from Sheng Ning’an and said to the server, “I’d like a gin and tonic, no ice, please.”
Hearing her expertly name the cocktail, Tian Yu looked at her curiously and asked, “Oh, Yueyue, have you been to a bar before?”
Shi Yue’s eyes flickered as she said, “I worked part-time at a bar for a couple of days before, so I learned a little.”
“Oh, is that so? I should have asked you earlier. You definitely know which drinks are good.” Tian Yu said with a smile.
Xue Xian nodded along, trying to steer the topic away from the previous conversation.
“Actually, I don’t know much either, but everyone has different tastes. If you have the chance, you should try everything. Life is about having different experiences; only then can you know what flavors you like, right? But if everyone comes to a bar and only drinks soda water, like some people, they might as well not come. Don’t you guys think so?” Shi Yue said meaningfully, looking in Sheng Ning’an’s direction.
Unfortunately, Sheng Ning’an completely ignored her, making Shi Yue appear like a fool.
So mad her face turned green!
Tian Yu awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth, looking at the two and awkwardly trying to smooth things over, “An’an probably just doesn’t like to drink. It’s okay; coming to a bar doesn’t mean you have to drink. You can listen to music and watch performances, can’t you? Just think of it as broadening your horizons.”
Soon, the waiter brought over what everyone ordered. Tian Yu and Xue Xian’s drinks looked colorful and quite appealing.
Shi Yue’s drink, on the other hand, looked similar to Sheng Ning’an’s soda water, just with a slice of lemon on the glass.
Tian Yu couldn’t wait to pick up his glass and took a sip. His eyes lit up immediately, and he excitedly looked at everyone else, “This is actually pretty good. Do you guys want to try it too?”
Shi Yue looked in Sheng Ning’an’s direction, “We should let our Lady Sheng have a taste. After all, she’s the only one drinking soda water.”
“No need!” Sheng Ning’an knew she had a low tolerance for alcohol, so she rarely touched alcoholic drinks in public.
But Shi Yue was so eager for her to drink, it made her a bit curious about what the other person was trying to achieve.
After talking for so long and getting no response, Shi Yue secretly gritted her teeth.
Worried about arousing Sheng Ning’an’s suspicion, she decided to remain silent afterward.
A different DJ came on, and the electric guitar replaced the acoustic one. The dance floor suddenly became lively, and the booming music echoed throughout every corner of the bar.
Sheng Ning’an found it a bit noisy, stood up, and said, “I’m going to the restroom.”
“An’an, I’ll go with you!” Tian Yu stood up, wanting to accompany her.
Considering it was a bar with all kinds of people, he was concerned she might encounter something if she were alone.
Sheng Ning’an nodded.
The two asked the server for directions and headed towards the restroom.
