Chapter 12: Let's Go to the Bar
The breeze blew across the lake, through the flowers, and blew away the sideburns of the beauties in the flower shop.
Yan Xi stroked the messy hair, tied the hair high with his fingers, and tied it up with a rubber band from his wrist.
"Ahh
Yan Xi was startled by her and stood up from the flowers: "What's wrong?"
"I got in!" Elle rushed over and hugged her, bouncing and jumping.
Yan Xi was stunned for a moment before he remembered, and said with a look of surprise: "You were admitted!?"
"I got in!" said Ellie, smiling happily, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Oh my God, Ellie, you're amazing!" Yan Xi patted her on the back, "Great!
"It's been three years...... Woo-woo-woo......" Ellie couldn't help but cry.
Yanxi helped her to sit on the sofa, handed her a few tissues, and poured her a glass of warm water.
"Did you receive your admission letter today?" Yan Xi asked with a smile.
"Hmm!" Ellie nodded vigorously, "Cornell University, botany." β
"Great, it's the major you've always wanted to go to. Yan Xi said happily: "Elle, you are better than you think!"
Ellie sobbed, wanting to cry and laugh, looking at her with red eyes.
"How's the tuition thing?" asked Yan Xi.
Hearing this, Elle shook her head: "I didn't apply for the scholarship....... I'll think of something else, I've got to go. β
"Of course you have to go!" Yan Xi shook Ai Li's hand: "I support you for tuition." β
Ellie hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, boss, you have already paid me a salary!"
"You've been with me for three years, and you've been here to help me since you opened the store, so it's a bonus for you. Yanxi smiled happily.
Elle still refused: "No! If you hadn't always agreed to me working part-time while tutoring, how could I have passed the exam! I don't know how to thank you, how can I still take your money!"
"If you hadn't been tutoring for three years, how would you have passed the exam? Yanxi patted her softly: "Ellie, do you remember what you said when you applied for a part-time job with me?"
Ellie's eyes were swollen, she laughed, nodded and said, "I remember, I said I was going to take the ivy exam and study botany." β
"Yes, you also told me that the purpose of botany is to use, develop and protect plant resources, so that plants can provide more food, medicine, building materials and so on for humans. Yan Xi smiled and narrowed his eyes.
"Do you remember?" said Ellie, looking at her in surprise.
"Of course I remember. Yan Xi smiled and said, "Do you remember what I told you at the time?"
Elle thought for a moment and said, "You said, you said you supported me...... Because botany is importantβno, I thought you were talking about it casually. β
Yan Xi shook his head and said seriously: "I'm serious! Botany is really important, so I will continue to support you very seriously." β
Ellie was silent for a moment, then nodded firmly: "Then I'll write you an IOU, and I'll give it back to you later!"
"Okay!" Seeing that she insisted, Yan Xi didn't refuse again, but said, "I'll calculate the interest to you at the lowest interest rate of the bank." β
Elle laughed lightly, "Okay! Don't be too high. β
"Let's find a place to celebrate in the evening, shall we?" Yan Xi said with a smile: "I won't lose weight today." β
"Let's go to the bar!" said Ellie excitedly, "I haven't been to the bar yet!"
"Bar?" Yan Xi thought for a while, and said with some expectation: "Okay! Let's go to the most expensive one!"
At ten o'clock in the evening, the two closed the door of the store, Yan Xi put on heavy makeup under the guidance of Ai Li, changed into a shiny little dress, and the two took a taxi together to the most lively bar street in Pingcheng.
"This is it, I heard it's the most expensive bar right now!" said Ellie excitedly.
Looking at the slamming music coming from the colorful bar door, Yan Xi felt very novel.
At the door of the bar, tall black clothes stood to welcome guests, but almost all the beauties who came in and out were wearing heavy makeup and cool clothes.
"Beauty, is it just the two of you?" a handsome welcome guy in a black suit stepped forward and led them through the security gate.
Ellie nodded.
Yan Xi also nodded.
"First time at the bar?" asked the handsome guy who greeted them with a smile as he looked at their jerky appearance.
Ellie and Yanxi continued to nod.
"I'll call a waiter for you. The handsome guy enthusiastically took out the walkie-talkie and said.
After a while, a waiter in a white shirt and black vest and a bow tie walked out of it.
"Hello, two first-time visitors?" the waiter said to them, "Shall I arrange a small table close to the stage for you?"
"Yes!" replied Ellie.
The two followed the waitress to the small table next to the T-shaped stage.
The small tables in the bar do not have seats, so customers can dance to the music.
"What do you want to drink?" said the waiter as the music was so loud that the waiter whispered into Ellie's ear as he handed them a slip.
"Two cups of Long Island Iced Tea!" Elle ordered two cups of the least drunken.
The waiter nodded, and left after Yanxi settled the bill on the spot.
After a while, two glasses of wine were brought and a sieve cup was given to each of them.
"How do you play with this?" asked Yanxi.
"It's just to guess how many points there are in the two sieve cups, and guess the wrong drink. The waiter said succinctly.
Yan Xi nodded, and instead of playing with Ellie, he looked around with Ellie.
Flickering lights and loud music create a dim and psychedelic ambiguity.
To the beat of the music, many men and women danced, shook their heads, and shook their hands together.
Yanxi looked very interesting and wanted to dance like them.
Elle held her waist funny and said, "You have to twist, shake your hair while twisting." β
Yan Xi laughed out loud and whispered in Ellie's ear, "I can't do it." β
The two of them are like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and they feel novel and funny when they see everything.
Especially the pole dancer writhing on the catwalk, which made Yan Xi can't help but look red.
Just when the two of them were watching with relish, two men covered in fat powder squeezed over with wine glasses, leaned into Yanxi's ear and said, "Beauty, do you want to play games together?"
Yan Xi was startled, and hurriedly grabbed Ellie's hand, attached it to her ear and asked, "Who are they!?"
"It's a routine! Pick up!" Ellie exclaimed, "They see you beautiful and want to play with you." β
Yan Xi shook his head: "I can't, let them go." β
Elle said loudly to the two men, "Our boyfriends are coming soon, you guys will cause a misunderstanding here." Excuse me!"
The two men looked at each other and nodded, then turned to leave.
Yanxi gave Ellie a thumbs up and praised her with a smile.
After coming over for a while, a man in a suit and leather shoes came over, pointed to the largest VIP booth on the second floor, and invited them: "A few colleagues from our company are playing on it, and we invite you to join us, okay?"
Yan Xi and Elle followed the direction of his finger and looked towards the second floor.
Three men in commercial attire leaned against the railing on the second floor, all holding wine glasses in their hands, looking at the dance floor with a little drunkenness, swaying gently.
The tallest man in the middle looked at them with burning eyes, raised the cup in his hand, saluted from a distance, and took a sip, his expression revealing a kind of confidence and grace.
Ai Li and Yan Xi glanced at each other, and Ai Li said excitedly: "The one in the middle is so handsome!"
Yan Xi glanced up again, and felt that the thin and slightly shorter man on the left seemed to be a little familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.
Yan Xi whispered in her ear: "I don't want to go, let's go." β
Ellie nodded, patted the man on the shoulder, and said, "Then you will have a drink with us first?"
The man nodded, "Okay, do you want anything else to drink?"
Ellie nodded, "Let's go to the bathroom first, and then order it when we get back." β
The man nodded, and made an OK gesture at the man on the second floor.
Elle took Yanxi's hand, calmly walked in the direction of the bathroom, turned a corner, left the area of the dance floor, and the two of them hurriedly slipped out of the exit.
