Chapter 20: The Dazzling White Moonlight
by xennovelJiang Qin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then pursed his lips.
You spend all day either practicing the piano or dancing. Your happiest moments are just reading fantasy adventure novels. These past few days, I’ve taken you shopping, to the hot springs, and even swallowed my pride to accompany you on the rocking cars. Compared to that, it would be strange if you didn’t feel lonely.
“Come on, pack up your things.”
“Where are we going?”
“Taking you to the bar to watch the Olympics.”
Feng Nanshu’s eyes instantly lit up. She immediately grabbed her little satchel, tidied up the books and put them back on the shelf, then followed him downstairs with pitter-pattering steps.
It was still broad daylight at this time and the bar wasn’t open at all. But as the person in charge of this bar, Jiang Qin just needed to say the word and it would open. Plus, having no customers had its advantages too – Feng Nanshu, being socially anxious, wouldn’t be too nervous.
Jiang Qin brought Feng Nanshu into the bar, pointed out a seat for her and told her to sit tight. Then he picked up the “Open for Business” sign, walked out, and placed it by the door.
Right at this moment, four figures suddenly darted over from across the street.
The first was a short, fat kid. Behind him followed a polished-looking high-quality male, and lastly two girls with satchels slung over their shoulders.
“Godfather!”
“?????”
Jiang Qin looked up and saw it was Guo Zihang, Qin Zi’ang, Yu Shasha and Wang Huiru. “Why are you all here?”
Guo Zihang was panting and sweating profusely, but there was an indescribable smugness in his eyes, “I told them you’re running this bar now, but they wouldn’t believe me no matter what I said. So I brought them to see for themselves!”
Wang Huiru immediately interjected, “I never said I didn’t believe it. I purely came to join in the fun. It was Yu Shasha who didn’t believe it.”
“I didn’t say I didn’t believe it either. I’m just here to check on behalf of our Siqi!”
Yu Shasha pursed her lips, her gaze couldn’t help but size up Jiang Qin, “Did you really spend 300,000 yuan to rent this bar?”
“Don’t listen to Guo Zihang’s nonsense.”
“I knew it. Where would you get 300,000 yuan from.”
Guo Zihang’s face instantly turned red, “Bro Jiang, you clearly told me 300,000 with your own mouth!”
Jiang Qin spat at him, “I said 320,000. You’re really getting carried away, huh? 20,000 isn’t money to you? You dare to round down on me?”
“Oh oh, right, it was 320,000!”
Hearing this, Qin Zi’ang, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly changed his expression.
Damn, that was close. Luckily it was Yu Shasha who spoke just now and not himself. Otherwise wouldn’t that slap have landed on his own face.
As for Yu Shasha, she indeed felt like she had been slapped. She hemmed and hawed for a long time, unable to follow up.
But Jiang Qin didn’t take it to heart.
Grown up now, why bicker with a bunch of kids.
He set up the blackboard, opened the door to let the four of them in, then told them to find a place to sit wherever. He went to turn on the four TV sets placed horizontally in the center of the bar.
To be honest, the bar’s atmosphere was indeed suitable for holding this type of small party. First, it had ambiance, and second, it had unlimited drinks.
Watching a diving competition or table tennis match here, with the cheers next to your ears, would definitely be more exciting than watching at home by yourself.
It was Yu Shasha and Wang Huiru’s first time at a bar. When entering, they were still a bit cautious, worried some colorful demons and monsters might pop out. But seeing there was no one inside, they instantly relaxed.
As for Qin Zi’ang, he coldly laughed at Jiang Qin’s back, thinking, I’ll let you show off for a couple days. When I get home, I’ll ask my dad to open a bar for me too. I’ll copy your model to make money. You mad?
But right then, Qin Zi’ang suddenly heard Yu Shasha exclaim “Oh shit”.
He couldn’t help but follow over, wanting to see what was so surprising. Then he froze.
He saw in the southwest corner of the bar, Feng Nanshu was sitting there serenely, hands on her knees, a hint of aloofness in her eyes.
South City High’s white moonlight, the unapproachable silent goddess.
Why would she be in a bar?
A wealthy young lady like her, cocktail parties and banquets should be the occasions she frequents. This incongruity was too jarring.
Qin Zi’ang thought he saw wrong. He rubbed his eyes hard, rubbing out three of his eyelashes, but Feng Nanshu was still sitting there vivaciously in front of them.
“What do you all want to drink? Beer? The bartender isn’t here. I don’t know how to make anything else.”
Jiang Qin’s voice rang out, instantly pulling the dazed Yu Shasha and Qin Zi’ang back to reality.
The two were muddleheaded and didn’t catch what he asked. They absentmindedly grunted in assent.
“Beer is fine for me too.”
Feng Nanshu suddenly raised her hand, displaying the magnanimity and accommodation of a wealthy young lady. Socialites were like this, humbly accepting everything, making no extra demands, trying to show ample goodwill to others.
Jiang Qin glanced back at her, “No, you can’t drink. You can only have Wahaha.”
“…”
At this point, Guo Zihang came around from outside the bar. He took a look at Feng Nanshu, his voice trembling a bit, “Bro Jiang, what… what’s going on? Why is Feng Nanshu here too?”
Jiang Qin was expressionless, “We’re good friends.”
“But Feng Nanshu has never had friends. She doesn’t even talk to anyone!”
“Alright, you guessed it. She is indeed lusting after my body!”
“????”
Jiang Qin ignored Guo Zihang. He glanced back at Wang Huiru who had quietly followed over, “Can you drink beer?”
Wang Huiru nodded. She also couldn’t help but look at Feng Nanshu, “Last time I saw you two out shopping together. You even pinched her cheek. You’re really not dating?”
“Dating? Dogs wouldn’t even do that.”
“????”
Jiang Qin handed the beer to Guo Zihang and signaled with his eyes, “Go, bring the beer to Qin Zi’ang.”
Guo Zihang took it and glanced at it, a bit reluctant, “There’s foreign writing too. Isn’t this imported beer? He’s worthy of it?”
“Where the fuck is there real product in a bar? It’s watered down. Perfect for him to drink. That dumbass dog can’t tell good from bad.”
“Wise words, Godfather!”
Guo Zihang excitedly took the beer over and set it in front of Qin Zi’ang. He even personally opened a bottle for him. Qin Zi’ang saw him suddenly being so friendly and couldn’t figure out his game. He took a sip of the beer without daring to say anything.
At the same time, Wang Huiru watched Jiang Qin busying himself behind the bar, not sure if she should chat with him about Chu Siqi. Because Jiang Qin had said before not to bother him with that person. But she couldn’t help wanting to say a few words.
“Jiang Qin.”
“Hm?”
“Siqi didn’t come because she caught a cold.”
“Your point being?”
Jiang Qin handed her the opened beer, then turned and left the bar. He gave Feng Nanshu a bottle of Wahaha.
Just like that, the group of four watched men’s singles and mixed doubles badminton in silence for over an hour.
But aside from Jiang Qin, Feng Nanshu and Guo Zihang, everyone else seemed preoccupied. Because the white moonlight was the white moonlight. Feng Nanshu’s presence was simply too dazzling.
Qin Zi’ang couldn’t reconcile it. He thought, what made Jiang Qin, such an ordinary guy, get so close with a noble girl like Feng Nanshu.
As for Yu Shasha, she looked around at the bar, thought about the figure of 300,000, and felt Chu Siqi might regret it very soon.
A boy like this, even she found him radiant. Who wouldn’t regret missing out?
But regret was useless now. Which girl wouldn’t feel inferior next to Feng Nanshu?
