Liang Mumu was born in a privileged background, and she was surrounded with friends who were born into this world with golden spoons in their mouths as well. Most of her friends had vast connections, so even though the bar had just opened not too long ago, there were still many people showing up to express their support.
The bar was extremely lively. Quite a few voluptuous women, dressed in revealing outfits, danced wildly on the dance floor, shaking their heads and bodies as if in a trance.
A huge portion of the crowd gathered in the bar tonight were acquaintances of Liang Mumu. As she took Shi Yao deeper inside the bar, greetings like “Honey, we haven’t caught up in a very long time”, “Darling, I missed you”, and other such comments had never stopped.
The two of them squeezed their way onto the largest sofa in the innermost area of the bar before coming to a halt.
A moment after Liang Mumu and Shi Yao put down their personal belongings and sat down, a male attendant with crimson hair and diamond earrings suddenly walked over. As he passed a menu to Liang Mumu, he even gave them an orchid finger gesture 1 . His voice was also extremely feminine, “Miss Liang, you haven’t come to see me for a very long time. Do you know how much I missed you…”
Shi Yao couldn’t help but shudder upon hearing that excessively tender voice.
For a man to speak more coyly and amorously than a woman, just what is this world coming to?
While Shi Yao’s mind was wandering, Liang Mumu had already replied to the male attendant with a bright smile, “I missed you a lot too!”
Following that, she passed the menu over to Shi Yao and said amiably, “Little darling Yaoyao, why don’t you see if there’s anything you’d like to order.”
Doing what she usually did when she hung out with Liang Mumu, Shi Yao unreservedly ordered some duck neck, walnuts, and snacks. A moment of thought later, she added another fruit platter before passing the menu back to Liang Mumu.
“Yaoyao, aren’t you going to order some drinks too?” Liang Mumu asked as she scanned the menu.
“Oh…” Under Liang Mumu’s reminder, Shi Yao suddenly realized that she had indeed forgotten to order a drink. She leaned over to look at the menu in Liang Mumu’s hands before pointing to a mocktail. “… Just as usual then; this one.”
“Why don’t you try something new? What about some alcohol?”
“It’s not like you don’t know that I don’t drink…”
“It’s fine, just have a sip. You don’t have lessons tomorrow anyway. I already gave the driver the heads up to pick us up later, so you don’t have to worry about it… Yaoyao, listen to me. Just have a sip, alright?”
Shi Yao was silent for a moment before she nodded lightly.
Seeing this, Liang Mumu delightedly ordered a few drinks with the waiter, “Yaoyao, you’re the best! I knew that you wouldn’t abandon me! Give us a dozen beers and a bottle of vodka…”
Shi Yao: “Isn’t that too much?”
Liang Mumu: “It’s fine, it’s fine. If we can’t finish them tonight, we can always keep them here for the next time we come back …”
…
It didn’t take long for that coy waiter to serve up the items that Shi Yao and Liang Mumu ordered.
Taking the bottle opener, Liang Mumu swayed her body along to the beat of the music as she opened two bottles of the beer. She passed one of the bottles over to Shi Yao and grabbed the other one for herself. Raising her head grandly, she began gulping down the beer.
By the time Liang Mumu was halfway through the bottle, she’d noticed that Shi Yao hadn’t moved hers at all. Thus, she leaned on Shi Yao’s body and complained coyly, “Yaoyao, why aren’t you drinking? Give it a taste. This beer is really nice…”
Shi Yao glanced at Liang Mumu before she raised the beer bottle and took a sip.
“Yaoyao, beer is only nice when you drink it in large mouthfuls. You’re being too reserved here…”
