The three of them went to a bar behind the commercial street.
It was just getting dark, the liveliest time for bars.
There were three people dressed as service staff at the door, one woman and two men.
The woman was responsible for checking customers' ID cards, while the two men maintained order and prevented trouble.
They went over, handed over their ID cards, and after confirming they were all adults, the staff let them in.
There was a strong wind in the passageway.
This bar was quite meticulous, specially installing ventilation equipment to prevent the indoor air from getting too stale.
But the occasional whiffs of alcohol that rushed into her nostrils still made Qin Zhao frown.
She distastefully stroked her nose tip.
They had just entered the bar lounge and immediately attracted several gazes.
Especially Shen Yixuan, who was wearing a backless black dress tonight that generously showed off her perfect figure.
Even Qin Zhao couldn't help but look a few more times, let alone others.
Shen Yixuan nervously grabbed Qin Zhao's right wrist and whispered in her ear, "Qin Zhao, what should I do, I'm so nervous!"
Qin Zhao lightly patted the back of Shen Yixuan's hand with her left hand and said, "It's good to be nervous, it's best to be a little more vigilant. The biggest benefit of a bar is that it can deplete a lot of your mental energy. This way, you won't have the energy to think about unhappy things."
Pei Fanzhi whispered to Shen Yixuan, "Boss Shen, don't worry, I'll protect you. I won't drink, so I'm responsible for both of your safety tonight."
With the reassurance of two people, Shen Yixuan's heart rate gradually returned to normal.
The three of them sat at the bar. Qin Zhao said to the bartender, "A bottle of whiskey and a glass of orange juice."
Bartender: "Sure, please wait a moment, customer."
A minute later, the bartender brought over the drinks Qin Zhao ordered, along with three glasses.
Qin Zhao gave the orange juice to Pei Fanzhi, and poured a glass of whiskey for herself and Shen Yixuan.
The bartender asked, "Would you like a cocktail? Our mixologist recently came up with some new flavors."
Qin Zhao said, "Could we get a Sea and Sky in One Color?"
"Please wait a moment."
The bartender went to call over the mixologist and repeated Qin Zhao's cocktail order.
The mixologist nodded and smiled, "It seems the customer is quite knowledgeable about cocktails."
A Sea and Sky in One Color cocktail mixed by different mixologists would taste different.
What they had in common was a blue and white color scheme that looked very nice.
Qin Zhao calmly nodded.
She wasn't foolish enough to explain that she had just randomly said a Chinese idiom, and didn't expect it was actually a real cocktail!
The stylish female mixologist used white wine as the base, adding a small amount of milk, blueberry juice, and sea salt, skillfully combining the three ingredients.
The effect was visually layered yet integrated, truly giving the feeling of being by the seaside.
Clap clap clap clap!
Qin Zhao sincerely applauded her.
The female mixologist smiled and brought the 'Sea and Sky in One Color' up to Qin Zhao's eyes, "Please have a taste, customer."
Qin Zhao took it and sipped a bit. A stimulating taste rushed to the top of her head and her body stiffened slightly.
The taste of this Sea and Sky in One Color was a bit like the sensation of thousands of tiny insects biting her taste buds.
How strange, she should try another sip!
Qin Zhao took several more sips in succession, trying to cover up the previous stimulation with the latter.
It gave the impression that she couldn't get enough of this drink.
Seeing this, Shen Yixuan swallowed and asked, "Qin Zhao, is it really that delicious?"
Qin Zhao stopped, enduring the explosive stimulation on her taste buds. She looked at the half glass of Sea and Sky in One Color left.
With difficulty, she squeezed out a beautiful smile, turned to meet Shen Yixuan's gaze, and affirmatively replied, "Extremely delicious, do you want the mixologist to make you one too?"
Shen Yixuan agreed, and Qin Zhao gestured for the mixologist to make another.
Soon, a Sea and Sky in One Color was also brought to Shen Yixuan.
Shen Yixuan looked forward to it with anticipation. She solemnly picked up the cocktail and, unlike Qin Zhao's small sips, downed half the glass in one go.
Immediately, her face turned as red as a tomato!
Qin Zhao held in her laughter on the side.
But the next second, she heard Shen Yixuan gulp it down and exclaim, "So delicious!"
"..."
Turns out her red face was from drinking such a tasty drink!
Qin Zhao was exhausted, this was too much.
Qin Zhao observed Shen Yixuan for a while suspiciously.
Seeing Shen Yixuan consecutively order three more Sea and Sky in One Colors, she seemed to truly enjoy the taste.
Only then did Qin Zhao believe she wasn't pretending.
Shen Yixuan still hadn't had enough. She had the mixologist make her several more different cocktails.
After drinking this much, Shen Yixuan soon became drunk and started talking nonsense.
Pei Fanzhi was taking care of her on the side, covering her mouth from time to time.
Because it turned out she was the kind of beauty who would curse people when drunk!
Qin Zhao found it amusing, so she recorded a video with her phone.
After that, she started drinking alone.
"Miss, are you alone?" said a strange man's voice.
Qin Zhao impatiently said, "Get lost."
But the man still laughed and said, "We're all here to have fun, why shut someone out from a thousand miles away? Give each other a chance, who knows, tonight could bring extreme bliss."
Before Qin Zhao could react to give this person a piece of her mind, another woman's voice rang out, "Indeed, but the ultimate bliss she wants, only I can give."
!
Qin Zhao turned to look, and saw Nan Yue wearing a deep V-neck black gown with a platinum necklace that accentuated her delicate collarbones, impossible to look away from.
The man was shaken by Nan Yue's aura. Thinking of his own vulgar appearance, he felt rather ashamed.
But to maintain his male dignity, he still put on a fierce look and asked, "What do you mean?!"
Nan Yue didn't respond, and directly showed her attitude through action.
She reached out and pinched the back of Qin Zhao's neck, leaning forward to kiss her.
The two shared a lingering kiss in front of the crowd.
The man watched dumbfoundedly. Coming to his senses, he realized all eyes were on them, and he was rather an eyesore here.
So covering his face, he slipped away in embarrassment.
Qin Zhao pursed her lips and said, "Your kissing skills have improved. Have you been practicing with someone?"
Her mocking tone made it sound as if the one passionately kissing Nan Yue just now wasn't her.
Nan Yue was shocked by Qin Zhao's ability to swiftly change faces.
She wanted to say she had only ever kissed Qin Zhao.
But thinking of her engagement to Xu Yiyang and the scene of her breaking up with Qin Zhao, she couldn't speak.
At this moment, she couldn't make any promises to Qin Zhao. Saying more would only increase worries.
Qin Zhao smiled and moved closer to Nan Yue, asking, "How was it with a man?"
Hearing this, Nan Yue's tears instantly welled up. She raised her hand wanting to hit Qin Zhao but was grabbed by the wrist.
Qin Zhao continued her vicious words, "What? Dare to do it but afraid of others talking about it?"
"I didn't," Nan Yue sobbed. "How could you insult me like this?! I've only ever...with you..."
Qin Zhao interrupted her, "Is that so? Your words don't count. It depends on your actions."
Nan Yue hesitantly asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Qin Zhao whispered in Nan Yue's ear, "Come with me to a hotel."
