Chapter 308: Not Allowed to Leave (Extra for Monthly Votes)
No, it wasn’t just Bo Yan, Han Yifan was there too. Over at Wang Zisu’s side was Hu Juyue. There were also two other young beauties Xia Siyu didn’t recognize, probably trainees from Wang Zisu’s company.
Unfortunately, Zhou Weiwei was out of town filming at the moment, otherwise she would definitely have been part of today’s drinking session.
When celebrities go out, they definitely look for a place with a good degree of privacy. The private room chosen by Wang Zisu had facilities for dining and karaoke. Once the tables were cleared, the spacious area could also be used for dancing.
Adjacent were services for massage and ball games, a completely leisurely experience, all in a high-end club.
As soon as Wang Zisu entered, she smiled, “Just as I walked in, I ran into Brother Yan and his friend here. He said he was your classmate and is now into music, so he came along.”
So that was it. Xia Siyu didn’t engage with Bo Yan, but she did look towards Han Yifan. Han Yifan’s eyes sparkled brightly, circling around her since she entered. Although he stared at her, his expression wasn’t lecherous, it was that pure appreciative kind of liking, “Xia Siyu! Do you still remember me? I was Bo Yan’s bunkmate! Long time no see, you’ve gotten more and more beautiful.”
“Can’t you talk properly?” Hu Juyue said with a laugh, refuting, “Siyu is naturally beautiful, not artificially enhanced later on!”
Han Yifan laughed, “Yes, yes, my mistake. I’ll punish myself with a drink!”
With that, he cheerily picked up his glass and took a sip himself.
Meanwhile, Wang Zisu had the two beauties stand up: “Sister Siyu, I brought two girls over. They are my juniors, and they used to go to Korea to train with me. They are really eager to meet you, to say thank you for your help. If it weren’t for you taking down Li Weiyi, maybe they would’ve been his next victims.”
Xia Siyu paused for a moment, then the two girls stood up, one with long flowing hair said, “Sister Siyu, hello, my name is Yu Xin.”
The girl with short hair said, “I’m Youyou.”
Xia Siyu gave off the impression of having a strong presence and a volatile temper; that was when others weren’t showing her much goodwill. When others spoke to her in a nice and soft voice, she wouldn’t put on airs, so she nodded with a smile, “Xia Siyu.”
Wang Zisu smiled and said, “See, I told you Sister Siyu is super easy to converse with. Those reporters outside have no heart, writing nonsense!”
After a simple introduction, everyone took their seats. All being artists, although it was a late-night meal, not many actual delicacies were ordered. But when artists gather for a meal, food can be absent but alcohol is a must. Fortunately, everyone was just looking to drink for fun, going for beer and champagne rather than high-proof alcohol.
A few rounds of drinks later, the atmosphere was quite nice. Han Yifan wanted to get into music and chatted happily with Wang Zisu and her two juniors. Xia Siyu, whimsical as she was, joined in their conversation with a glass in hand. And Hu Juyue, leaving behind her host’s instinct to flit between groups, integrated perfectly into the conversation.
Only Bo Yan sat quietly to the side, responding with a word or two only when cued, looking out of place.
But no one bothered with him. It wasn’t until the crowd was getting lively and it was almost time to wrap up that Xia Siyu noticed the three or four empty beer bottles in front of Bo Yan, and he was about to open another.
Xia Siyu, who had had a bit too much herself, stopped Bo Yan’s hand, “You’re not allowed to drink anymore!”
What if he got too drunk and his beastly nature came out, and he forced himself on her?
