Chapter Fifty-Seven: Low Probability Event

  A bar singer strikes up a conversation with a customer who has brought a female companion, something that would almost never happen in everyday life.

  Su Yifan, carrying a school bag with a tender look unique to students, not only had a beautiful foreign girl by his side but also showed a silly expression as if it was his first time in a bar, just as the resident singer walked over to test him.

  A girl like Nier is too rare, even if it means breaking the rules, it doesn't matter.

  Su Yifan looked up at the singer, who was wearing a dazzling silver performance outfit. His eyes were even lightly made up, and his hair was perfectly styled. Apart from being a bit too pretty-boy-like, he had enough charm to be lethal to young girls.

  "It's the first time I've come." Su Yifan knew that hiding was useless, his own eyes had already betrayed him.

  Of course, Su Yifan didn't say it, but he had been to many places better than this bar. Even the coffee shop that Su Xiaqing took him to was much stronger than this Moonlight Bar in terms of level.

  "I'm the singer here, Cheng Jun. Nice to meet you." The male singer raised his glass politely, "Welcome, both of you, to spend a wonderful time at Moonlight Bar."

  Su Yifan symbolically clinked cups with Cheng Jun and took a shallow sip.

  Cheng Jun drained his cup and smiled slightly at Su Yifan: "Would you two like to order a song?"

  Cheng Jun had already seen Su Yifan's red wine and dried fruit, and from the prices of these two things, he judged that Su Yifan was not a rich second generation with a full pocket.

  Come and invite Su Yifan to sing, Cheng Jun hopes to create a conflict between Su Yifan and Niel.

  A shy student who is reluctant to sing along with his female companion will make her feel disrespected, and if this emotion is amplified, it can easily lead to a breakup between the two.

  Cheng Jun had already determined in his heart that Niel and Su Yifan should be a pair of student lovers, and he even boldly guessed that Niel should live in the opposite closed residential area.

  As long as he's still singing here, as long as Niel can come to the bar alone, Sung Joon thinks that since he knows so many English songs, there should still be a chance.

  Su Yifan didn't have any bad feelings towards this young singer who came to chat with him, but he also didn't have any good feelings. Cheng Jun's gaze at Niel made him feel very uncomfortable, like a grown man preying on something.

  Cheng Jun asked Su Yifan to choose a song, and Su Yifan instinctively wanted to refuse. Nell, who was beside them, obviously had no interest in Cheng Jun and just smiled politely, saying "Sorry, we don't have any songs we want to listen to."

  Cheng Jun didn't expect this foreign little girl's Chinese to be so good, and his eyes couldn't help but burn with even more fervor.

  Su Yifan could see the confidence in Cheng Jun's eyes, and essentially, this kind of confident man was not much different from Chen Xin.

  They think everything should be under their control and all goals should be achieved by themselves. The smoothness of life has made them accustomed to constantly getting what they want, and they feel that this is only natural.

  Su Yifan disliked this feeling, he thought that everything he got without effort was illusory. It was because of this that Su Yifan refused Su Xiaqing's request to thoroughly help himself. Su Yifan would rather change himself bit by bit like now, with each change accompanied by effort, and thus cherished it even more.

  Cheng Jun had been hanging out in the bar for many years, and his ability to observe people's words and expressions was top-notch. Seeing that this foreign little girl wasn't interested in talking, he immediately made a gesture of leaving.

  "Alright then, I won't disturb you two anymore, let me sing a song for the both of you."

  Seung Jun, still confident in his singing, swirled the wine glass and returned to the table belonging to the singer, lowering his head to whisper something to another metal-style dressed singer.

  Su Yifan furrowed his brow, looking at the two people speaking and occasionally revealing a lewd smile. He said to Nier: "You should be careful, this bar seems quite chaotic."

  "I get it." Niel's face always had a bright smile on, which made her even more charming. "Was that person just now trying to express his good feelings towards me through song?"

  "You're really direct... It's pretty much like that."

  "I don't like men who wear makeup." Niel raised her glass to Su Yifan, "Su, you're the type I like."

  Su Yifan almost choked on his drink and stared with wide eyes, coughing several times before catching his breath.

  "Hey, don't talk about such scary topics when drinking."

  Nier saw Su Yifan in such a predicament and burst out laughing: "Su, am I that scary?"

  "No, you're cute." Su Yifan wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue and calmed himself down, "But this topic is more terrifying for me."

  "Why?" Niel's unyielding spirit is indeed very different from the Chinese way of thinking.

  Su Yifan said: "I'm afraid more people who like you will bully me."

  Nell burst out laughing, that youthful and innocent look enticing many men to glance over here more frequently.

  Having drunk nearly half a bottle of wine, Su Yifan felt the alcohol starting to take effect on his skin. Nell's small face across from him was flushed red, and her voice had also softened compared to earlier.

  Su Yifan found it amazing that Niel was also a non-drinker and yet loved coming to bars so much.

  "It's almost done, let's go home."

  "Wait a bit longer." Nier grabbed Su Yifan's hand again, this being the second time she had physical contact with him today. "I'm also alone when I get home, can you keep me company?"

  "Where are your parents?" Su Yifan asked in surprise.

  "Work..." Nier pouted again.

  Su Yifan was surprised: "This is different from what I know about European customs, are they going to work so late?"

  Nina pouted, her expression was very rich, and without exception, she was so cute that people couldn't help but take a few more glances.

  "You must have read too many reports on the benefits of propaganda. In any large company in the world, overtime is the most common situation. Do you think that several major law firms and investment companies around the world all get off work on time? Those people work non-stop every day, like crazy."

  Su Yifan thought about it and felt that others' competitiveness also included overtime work, they just couldn't say it out loud.

  "Is it really that scary?"

  Nell bit her lip, looking somewhat angry: "They won't be back for about four hours."

  Su Yifan glanced at his watch and found that four hours had already passed into the next day, which made him involuntarily feel a little sympathetic towards the lively girl in front of him.

  At this time, the singer Sung Jun who had just chatted with the two people came on stage and replaced the female singer.

  Cheng Jun's stage presence was great, and as soon as he went on stage, he had an aura that commanded respect. A woman in the audience even brought a bouquet of flowers to give to Cheng Jun, which elicited many whistles and cheers.

  Su Yifan somewhat understood why Cheng Jun was so confident, he was indeed very popular.

  Cheng Jun started by singing a song called "This Love Can Wait", a very classic old love song with simple lyrics. During the song, Cheng Jun kept looking at Nier, his passionate gaze not hiding at all.

  Su Yifan's display of poor student attributes probably really made Cheng Jun feel that there was no threat, and he even winked at Nierl when singing the high-pitched part.

  This overly obvious flirting made Su Yifan somewhat disgusted.

  Su Yifan doesn't particularly like Nier, but he doesn't dislike her either. Such a lovely and beautiful foreign girl is so affectionate towards Su Yifan, it's hard for him to say he's not happy about it.

  Su Yifan was just troubled by too many recent worries, he felt very annoyed.

  Quietly watching Cheng Jun finish singing "This Love Can Wait", Nier still didn't show any intention of leaving, she picked up her wine glass and said to Su Yifan: "How about having another drink?"

  Su Yifan was already feeling slightly dizzy, and he knew his own drinking capacity. Looking at Nier's expression in front of him, Su Yifan knew that he couldn't refuse this lovely girl.

  "Alright, one last cup."

  Nell smiled brightly, and due to having drunk a considerable amount, her smile this time was full of a mature flavor.

  "Thanks, Su."

  The dry red wine stimulated the tip of his tongue and then spread all the way to his throat. Su Yifan felt even dizzier than before, and when he looked up, he saw Cheng Jun saying thank-you-for-your-support kind of polite words, his eyes still frequently looking towards Niel's side.

  Nell was dissatisfied: "Su, you should be looking at me more, rather than being concerned about the men in the bar."

  Su Yifan shook his head, trying to clear himself up a bit, but it didn't have much of an effect.

  Cheng Jun finished singing the second song, an English version of "Kiss Goodbye", and received some nostalgic applause. Su Yifan looked at the remaining red wine in his cup and knew he couldn't drink anymore, so he signaled for the waiter to come over and settle the bill.

  "Let's go."

  Nier didn't hesitate this time, stood up naturally and put on her coat, then linked her arm with Suyi Fan's.

  Through the thick coat, Nier's figure could still be clearly felt. Suyi Fan's heart skipped a beat and asked, "What are you doing?"

  "Dizzy, let me hold onto you, Su." Niel's face was red enough to make one want to take a bite out of it, "You'll see me home, won't you?"

  Su Yifan's heart was still racing, the last time he had been held by someone was when Cheng Shuiyan accompanied him to an art exhibition, he said irritably: "I can do it myself, don't hold me so tightly..."

  "What are you afraid of?" Niel giggled, obviously having had too much to drink, "Su, uh, you're really... cute."

  Su Yifan hastily dragged Niel out of the bar with a bit of gloom, Cheng Jun's gaze following closely behind him until they disappeared.

  The cold wind on the street blew over, and Su Yifan felt a little more awake.

  "Does your family live across the street?"

  "Right there." Niel pointed to the depths of the residential area across from them. "Su, take me home."

  Su Yifan shook his head helplessly.

  "I always thought it was a low-probability event for a girl to get drunk and have someone send her back home."

  After supporting Nier for a few steps, Nier's intoxication had completely come on, and she didn't react to Su Yifan's words at all.

  At this time, Su Yifan couldn't help but turn around and say to the few people following behind him: "I also thought that running into someone looking for trouble on the street was a low-probability event. Now it seems I should go buy lottery tickets?"

  Nowadays, the only requirement for a coffee shop is that it must have Wi-Fi... I suppose this means that taste is no longer an issue at all!
