MTL - Don’t Covet the Beautiful System!!-Chapter 83
Ji Tong stared at the beautiful cocktail in his hand with complicated emotions.
He has never drank alcohol before, he couldn't drink it in the past, and after wearing the system, he has always looked like a child, and he has no chance to drink.
Today he saw a lot of colorful wines here, which are very attractive at first glance, like fruity flavors, and thinking of so many people who like to drink in life, he thought this thing would taste good, at least similar to Coke .
I didn't expect the wine to be so bad, astringent and spicy. Even if it is covered by a slight sweetness, it will still rush straight to the forehead like essential oil.
…He suddenly understood why the host gave him such a subtle look when he picked out a cocktail with the best name in high spirits.
Peeling off the fruit candy handed by the host, Ji Tong, who had finally restored his wrinkled face to normal, silently pushed the rainbow-like cocktail away from him.
The bartender behind the bar was wiping the glass. Seeing his vivid expression, he couldn't help laughing, and his curious eyes moved between the two.
Pei Qingyuan on the side had expected it, and looked at the bartender: "Help him mix a non-alcoholic glass."
After a slight pause, he added: "The color should look good."
"Okay sir." The bartender responded with a smile, "Please wait a moment."
He was choosing a recipe suitable for that young customer in his mind, when he saw a sales colleague not far away hurriedly approaching here, and gestured to him for a drink.
"Su...does brother like to drink?"
A little ashamed, Ji Tong tried to break the silence.
It's his first time here, but the host doesn't seem to be, at least when he heard the somewhat difficult question from the welcome guest, the host answered very calmly, and when he expressed his desire for cocktails, he accurately led him to find the cocktail. bar counter.
After all, the host has lived in such a world before, and it would not be surprising if he has been to such a place.
"I don't like it." Pei Qingyuan understood his implication, "I went there once a long time ago, and left halfway."
He doesn't like such a chaotic and noisy environment, and he has no interest in what should happen in such an occasion.
"A long time ago?" Ji Tong thought for a while, "Can minors enter such a place?"
"No." Pei Qingyuan said calmly, "But for some people, the rules are invalid."
Hearing a few whispers from his colleague, the bartender who was busy behind the bar heard this, and his expression showed a complicated moment.
Ji Tong nodded with a vague understanding, then stared at the beautiful cocktail that was neglected, and said casually: "It's not good to waste, brother, do you want to have a taste?"
Since the host doesn't like drinking, maybe he will show the same painful expression as him.
How could such a good photo opportunity be missed.
Seeing his shining eyes, Pei Qingyuan was silent for a moment.
Ji Tong's mind is easy to guess.
And he never refuses his request.
The beautiful and bitter wine entered the throat, and soon brought a feeling of drunkenness all over the body.
Ji Tong was dazzled by the handsome appearance of the host drinking at first, and then was disappointed to find that the host's cold and indifferent expression did not change under the blessing of glasses.
Although some regrets.
But it seems more handsome.
Ji Tong bowed his head to his stable xp, and when he was about to create a suit special in the host's photo album, he saw the bartender slowly pushing the glass in front of him.
"Sir, the drink you want."
A glass of non-alcoholic drink that looks good and suits him well.
But next to it was a glass of clear wine and an expensive-looking bottle.
The bartender carefully explained: "This is given to you by the gentleman sitting in the booth over there."
Ji Tong looked over blankly, then looked away blankly: "Why did you give it to me? Can I not?"
He didn't know anyone in this city, so how could someone give him wine?
And he doesn't like the smell of wine.
The bartender's expression froze, not knowing how to answer, saying this in front of his partner was already enough to make people nervous.
To explain further, he was afraid that the bar would not be safe.
The young man was ignorant and ignorant, but the man in a suit wearing glasses beside him had clearly understood the meaning behind the gift of wine.
His fingers holding the wine glass tightened suddenly, and then loosened suddenly.
In a place like this, giving wine is an all-too-definite cue.
He has lived an ordinary and warm life for too long, almost forgetting the other world's preference for new things and their consistent style.
Pei Qingyuan raised his eyes, only to notice that outside the small light on the bar, others seemed to be scrutinizing Ji Tong.
It was a gaze that he had been forcing himself to ignore these days.
There is a feeling that has been clamoring hazily in my heart for a long time, and it gradually becomes clear.
He got up, dropped a few banknotes, and said with unquestionable certainty in his voice, "Let's go."
Ji Tong still didn't know what happened, but he satisfied his curiosity about nightclubs and bars, and now he was nearly deaf from the noise of the music, so it was just right for him to go downstairs to the food court.
He took a sip of the drink the host ordered for him, it tasted sweet and sour, and then followed the host obediently to prepare to leave.
But someone blocked the way.
"You haven't finished your drink yet."
The strange man's voice was magnetic, and it sounded with a touch of intimacy and warmth, but there was an undisguised aggression in his eyes.
According to Fu Yinyin's words, it was a specialist in extortion and robbery that was everywhere in the subject matter of her work.
The other party has the same outstanding appearance as the host, with an indifferent temperament, and even a similar black suit.
But Ji Tong reflexively moved to Pei Qingyuan's side.
He doesn't like this stranger.
"Are you scared?"
Gu Yinglan lowered his tone and pretended to be concerned. He stared at the young man who looked more delicate and agile when he looked closely, with interest in his eyes.
It's a pity that the obstructive man blocked his line of sight.
Pei Qingyuan pulled Ji Tong behind him, and said in a cold tone, "Get out of the way."
Seeing this, the people behind said in a low voice: "Young Master Gu, do you want to..."
Gu Yinglan waved his hand, generously showing his last patience: "You still have a minute to disappear."
"If you like this type very much, I can send you a more suitable one."
"But this doesn't belong to you." He concluded casually, "You are not qualified."
Those originally unnamed strange feelings were crowned with the most straightforward speculation by outsiders, and completely surfaced.
Pei Qingyuan didn't speak, he looked at the group of strangers in front of him, his eyes were full of emotions.
Ji Tong suddenly remembered the message he received not long ago.
Love is not limited by gender.
So is plunder.
In the silent stalemate, a minute was over.
The sons and brothers let out a sigh of joy, before the bodyguards took action, some people who couldn't wait rushed forward to bring the prey for Gu Yinglan first. The bartenders who were used to such scenes had long since disappeared, and it was crowded A space was abruptly vacated in the nightclub.
The man who can be the leader, but his expression is gradually becoming difficult to look.
Gu Yinglan rarely encounters people and things beyond his expectations.
But tonight, he met two such people at once.
Unexpectedly, he was overwhelmed and begged for mercy. The first scream came from the son who stretched out his hand to grab Ji Tong.
His hand didn't touch the young man who looked easy to bully at all, but was pinched heavily by the man next to him and folded to the side.
Half a second before the miserable yell sounded, everyone heard the crisp bone cracking sound that made the scalp tingle.
Not only this rich second generation with flimsy steps, but even the burly bodyguards who rushed up after him couldn't last for half a minute.
In the turmoil and commotion mixed with screams, Ji Tong was well protected.
This is not the first time he has seen the host fight, and he also knows that with the host's strength, no matter where it is, it is difficult for anything to happen, only others are unlucky.
According to his usual habits, he seemed to be excited to record this scene and send it to two friends far away in another world, using long sentences to describe the extraordinary appearance of the host tonight, and by the way, he praised Fang Hao for helping him at that time. The foresight of the host to increase the force value.
But Ji Tong didn't.
The sound of the music spreading throughout the space became louder and louder, passing through his non-existent heart, rolling up bursts of roar that made it almost impossible to breathe.
Especially after Gu Yinglan and others showed apprehension.
No one could keep the boy who was watched frequently, and no one dared to say that his companion was not qualified.
In the strange dead silence that suddenly filled the restless space, the expressionless man grabbed the young man beside him, walked across the messy place, and strode away.
It is no longer a wrist after restraint and choice, but pale and soft fingers.
Another person's body temperature came surging from the palm of his hand.
Ji Tong stared blankly at his hand that was completely held by Pei Qingyuan, his mind went blank, and he stumbled and was led to the moonlight.
He rarely saw such a powerful host.
In his impression, Pei Qingyuan was indifferent to outsiders, seemingly untouchable, but he often responded with silent and restrained gentleness to those around him.
The host tonight is strange, maybe because of the clothes he chose on his own initiative, maybe because of the effect of spicy alcohol, maybe because of the adrenaline secreted during the fierce confrontation... Under the cold and bright moonlight at this moment, Pei Qingyuan looks like The teenager who left in a hurry on his bicycle was very different.
He is stubborn and sharp now, with indiscernible strong emotions surging in his eyes, and the sweat slipping from his neck into his collar carries a warm summer breath.
Ji Tong glanced at the host who was close at hand, and looked at the moonlight behind him helplessly.
From the lively and dark nightclub to the quiet and clear night, he has a lot to say.
He wanted to say that the host just now looked handsome when he unilaterally crushed him. He wanted to say that he had accidentally let down his vigilance in the new environment and didn't notice anyone observing them. He wanted to say that the beautiful non-alcoholic drink was really good. Drinking it was as sweet and sour as the fruit candy the host handed him.
In fact, he wanted to ask the host why he held his hand.
He has grown up and is no longer the kid who needs to be led around.
But for some reason, Ji Tong didn't dare to ask this question, so he could only try to say some irrelevant dialogue.
He was used to the title used to conceal his real relationship with Pei Qingyuan, and subconsciously said when he spoke: "Brother..."
But Pei Qingyuan was unwilling to accept it.
He interrupted Ji Tong's words.
There are people coming and going on the street, but here is silence, under the dim streetlights reflecting two figures, at a distance so close that there is almost no extra air, Pei Qingyuan lowered his eyes, and saw the extremely fair face of the person in front of him, There was a faint blush from stumbling forward all the way.
And those eyes that seemed to be shining bright stars forever in the long dark night, always staring at him so brightly.
He thus became the only person in this world who owns a star.
Xia Ye was stupefied, Pei Qingyuan never let go of the cool body temperature in his scorching palm, his voice was slightly hoarse.
This was the first rejection he didn't want to hear any rebuttal.
"Stop calling me brother."
