They were going to have dinner, so why were they at a bar?
“The original plan was to go to a Thai place, Sister Zhaoyang, but then I saw on Weibo that Starlight Quintet is performing here tonight. I’m a fan of the band. Let’s go! It will be fun!” Lin Yazhi dragged her by the arm into the bar. “Starlight Quintet! Starlight Quintet!”
Lu Zhaoyang was not a fan of any particular band. However, Thunderbolt Corp was involved in a wide range of products and had hired many famous artists as brand ambassadors. Thus, she was familiar with the band called Starlight Quintet.
The band consisted of five middle-aged men who started out as street performers.
To think that Lin Yazhi would be interested in this kind of music!
Shouldn’t she be more interested in bands with younger members?
“Sister Zhaoyang, their songs are really amazing. I like men with stories behind them!”
Lu Zhaoyang played with the glass of liquor she ordered and swayed with the music from the dancefloor.
“I see. When does it start?” She nibbled on some finger food and asked.
“Seven thirty. There is still half an hour to go.” Lin Yazhi took a sip of beer and looked at the growing crowd around them. “They have so many fans. I wonder if I can get an autograph later?”
“Huh? I seem to remember that you like…”
“I have a wide range of interests! I like them old or young. Starlight Quintet won my heart with their melodic voices, especially the guy with a beard and a husky voice. He’s so cool!” Lin Yazhi bobbed her head and spoke with increasing enthusiasm.
“Calm down or you won’t last until the show.” Lu Zhaoyang reminded her kindly.
“You’re right!” Lin Yazhi quieted down and started on her meal. “I’ll eat something first to energize. Sister Zhaoyang, looks like there are plenty of handsome guys in here. Do you feel like getting to know a few and enjoy yourself?”
Lu Zhaoyang thought that Huo Yunting would finish her off tonight if he heard that.
“You’re so pretty, I’m sure that you wouldn’t need to lift a finger and the guys will come straight to you. Look at that guy with the specs, I think he has stolen a few glances at you. He looks like the gentle and clean type, is that your type?” Lin Yazhi picked a strawberry and took another quick look at the man. “Yup, he’s definitely looking at you!”
Lu Zhaoyang sighed and put one hand on her forehead. “I think he’s looking at you.”
“No way!” Lin Yazhi objected immediately and then did a double take. She inched closer towards Lu Zhaoyang and said, “You look like you’re not having a good time. If you don’t like it here, we can try somewhere else!”
“It’s fine here. I just find it a little stuffy with so many people in here.”
She felt her cheeks turning red and hot akin to suffocating.
“I see. Well, let me know if you don’t feel like staying anymore.”
The two ladies enjoyed their meal while waiting for the performance to start. When it was time, Lin Yazhi quickly made her way to the dance floor.
Lu Zhaoyang stayed where she was and took in the view of all the people moving around her.
The excitement of the crowd was contagious. Soon, she found herself smiling as she continued to stay quietly at her seat.
She was invited to dance a few times but she rejected them politely every time.
The performance was a mix of loud rock music and quiet love songs. They sang very well.
Lu Zhaoyang noticed the husky voice that Lin Yazhi mentioned earlier. It sounded like the voice of someone who had been through the ravages of time. There was a certain magnetic quality to his voice.
