Tonight's rock and roll party had invited the most famous black band in Europe, who was also Daniel's superidol. At this moment, Daniel's dance moves were completely drowned out on the dance floor.
In such a noisy environment, the person who was drinking by himself was definitely someone with a story. His handsome appearance, muscular figure, and deeply furrowed brows were a fatal temptation to women.
Ling Han sat at the bar with a glass of wine in his hand for a while, but four or five women had already approached him to strike up a conversation.
He was tired of dealing with them and couldn't be bothered with them. His words were arrogant and rude, so naturally, they left on bad terms.
The bartender spoke in English with a southern American country accent. He brought a newly made cocktail to Ling Han with a rock and roll vibe. "People who come to a bar this late at night are all lonely people. So many beautiful women have been rejected by you. Sir, your standards are really high."
"If I said that I'm not here to hunt for women, you definitely wouldn't believe me, right?"
Ling Han reached out to take the wine glass, but before his fingers could touch it, the wine glass was stopped by a fair hand. That hand picked up the wine glass unceremoniously. Amidst the noisy music, he could barely hear her words. She spoke in a pure London accent and fluent English. "Can you treat me to a drink?"
He looked up unhappily, and a familiar figure appeared in his eyes. His gaze deepened and he said warily, "It's you?"
Ye Huanyan curled her lips into a flirtatious smile. "Sir, your pickup line isn't very clever."
With that said, she pulled out a chair and sat down. She brushed the loose strands of hair behind her ear and picked up the wine glass. "But I'll take it as you agreeing to treat me to a drink."
Ling Han came back to his senses. He was wearing a mask at the banquet, so this Second Miss Gu hadn't seen his real face, so she didn't recognize him.
Florida wasn't a big state, so the chances of bumping into each other in this bar were high.
Thinking of this, he smiled faintly. "Sorry, I got the wrong person."
Ye Huanyan twirled the wine glass in her hand with a nonchalant expression. "When it comes to flirting, Mister is really old-fashioned."
Hearing this, Ling Han frowned. Being inexplicably thought that he was trying to strike up a conversation, he was somewhat displeased.
He had lived for so long, and it had always been women throwing themselves at him. His busy work had never given him the time or interest to strike up a conversation with women.
When he thought of the kiss at the ball, he felt a strange feeling in his heart. The way he looked at this Second Miss of the Gu Family changed a little. Since he had already been accused of hitting on her, it was only a casual chat. At least he lived up to this evaluation.
"Won't your boyfriend worry about you coming out to play alone so late at night?"
Ye Huanyan seemed to have heard a joke. She lowered her gaze and whispered into Ling Han's ear, "Those who come here are either single or are single tonight."
Ling Han's heart tightened, not because of this sentence, but because when she leaned over, she gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
She was wearing a strong perfume and reeked of alcohol. Her gaze was languid and seductive.
No matter how he looked at it, she was not his type.
But this feeling was too familiar, and he was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, she had already ordered a glass of wine and pushed it in front of him. She smiled and said, "It's my treat."
This woman was like a ball of fire. She looked warm from afar, but couldn't be approached.
If he didn't know that she was the Second Miss of the Gu Family, Ling Han would have thought that she had an ulterior motive for approaching him.
Thinking that she was Gu Sinian's younger sister, combined with Gu Sinian's romantic affairs, Ling Han laughed coldly in his heart.
Like elder brother, like sister. They were probably all people who liked to play around with feelings. It was best to stay away from them.
"Thanks." He said coldly and didn't say anything else.
"Is there something on your mind?"
"You can tell?"
"Of course."
Ye Huanyan leaned closer and played with the cocktail in her hand. "Would a person with nothing on his mind avoid the busiest part of the bar and sit here drinking alone?"
The light in Ling Han's eyes dimmed.
Seeing this, Ye Huanyan's eyes flashed with a meaningful look. She put her fair arm on the cold, dark bar counter and bent her elbow. She rested her chin on her hand and asked, "Why don't we exchange our thoughts?"
She always had a hint of a smile when she spoke. At this moment, her long brown hair was draped over her shoulders, giving her a kind of lazy beauty. Her collar was wrinkled because of her movements, revealing the cleavage in front of her chest. It was hard to look away.
Ling Han turned his head and averted his gaze. He hid the strange look in his eyes and nodded slightly. His slender fingers picked up the wine glass.
She understood and clinked the glasses in her hands, making a crisp sound that was instantly drowned out by the noise of the secular world.
The night was long. Goodnight to those close to you, and secrets to strangers.
After drinking a glass of wine, Ye Huanyan opened her mouth first.
Her voice was hoarse, like that of a light rock singer as she spoke tirelessly.
"I have a friend who used to like a man. She liked him wholeheartedly for many years. Because of the conflict between the two of them, they couldn't be together. In other words, even if they were together, they would torture each other."
Ling Han laughed. "Romeo and Juliet."
Her eyes flashed with a trace of melancholy. "Romeo and Juliet were born from death. Even if it was a tragedy, it was an ending of love. It was just a conflict between the families. The man my friend liked took his anger out on her because of the conflict between the families."
Ling Han lowered his head and drank a mouthful of wine. His expression was hidden under the light and couldn't be seen clearly.
After three rounds of drinking, the story was intermittent, without beginning or end. It seemed to be true, but also seemed to be false.
Ling Han's eyes were drunk. "Your friend is too stupid. She should've left as soon as possible when she met this kind of man."
Ye Huanyan was also a little drunk. She leaned against the bar and looked at the man in front of her.
In this world, feelings could be said to be clear, but fate was hard to explain.
Across the sea, across the monsoon, on the day of her birthday party, she met the person she had missed for five years but didn't dare to contact.
She wanted to ask him directly, "Have you looked for me all these years? Have you thought of me? "
But with her face now, she couldn't ask.
"What about you? What's on your mind?"
Ling Han was drunk on the bar. His eyes were painful. He said vaguely, "Do you know what day it is today?"
Today?
Ye Huanyan rested half of her face on her hand and blushed. "It's my birthday."
Ling Han's deep voice penetrated the noise. "I have a friend who has the same birthday as you."
She looked at him, and the corner of her mouth pulled up in an unnatural arc. "Really?"
"Today is her birthday. It's also the anniversary of her death."
Ye Huanyan's fingers holding the wine glass trembled slightly. The wine in the glass spilled on the bar. Looking at his mouth and listening to his voice, it felt like a lifetime had passed.
"I miss her very much."
