Chapter 42 - Luo Shiyin: Big Kids Are Fun
【Appreciate...beauty?】
In the dimly lit bar, Lin Qingxi couldn't help but blush as she listened to the little girl's voice with a hint of laughter.
As a junior of Yu Chengxuan, she is naturally also a student at the Public Security College.
Logically speaking, facing this level of teasing, Lin Qingxi should not feel any wavering in her heart.
However, under the gaze of those smiling lavender pupils, she felt her heart beating faster suddenly, and she even dared not look at them.
To put it simply... I was attracted.
"Hey, little sister, it's wrong to tease adults."
Noticing his schoolmate's performance, Chengxuan's expression twitched, and then he immediately stepped forward and pulled the other party behind him.
Seeing this, Luo Shiyin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, then smiled softly:
"So you already have a boyfriend? I'm sorry, but calling you little sister doesn't seem appropriate."
As soon as these words were spoken, two people started blushing.
"You, what are you talking about! Qingxi and I are just ordinary friends, and you are just a child, right? Did you sneak in?"
"How rude, but if you say so, it's okay for me to invite this beautiful girl for a drink."
Looking at the other person's blushing face, Luo Shiyin suddenly found it quite interesting. While speaking, she picked up her ID card and gently shook it in front of the other person.
Although there was light from the bar counter, Luo Shiyin cleverly used her fingers to block the upper half of the portrait's face and name, allowing the other person to only notice the "24" in the age column.
The boy was speechless for a while, not knowing whether he was frightened by the information on the ID card or choked by the second half of her sentence.
Seeing the two people's interesting expressions, Luo Shiyin squinted her eyes with pleasure, then chuckled and took out another ten-yuan note and pushed it to the bartender:
"That's really funny. Let's order a suitable drink for each of them."
"Um, thank you, thank you... Ma'am?"
Because she hadn't yet recovered from the fact that she was "seduced by the lolita", Lin Qingxi was unable to stop the behavior and could only thank him in a low voice with a red face.
However, Luo Shiyin shook her head:
"What an awkward name. I've already invited you to drink. Shouldn't I call you something more intimate, like...sister?"
"This, this..."
Looking at the half-smile on the face of the girl with long black hair, Lin Qingxi felt her face starting to get hot again.
"You guy..."
Seeing this, Yu Chengxuan's eyes twitched involuntarily, and he inexplicably felt a subtle sense of crisis in his heart.
"Hmm? Actually, I don't mind if you call me."
Seeing this expression on the face of this previously confident boy, Luo Shiyin held her chin with one hand and kindly suggested:
"Well, do you think it would be more appropriate to let your junior school sister do the shouting?"
"Shout, shout if you want."
Hearing what the other party said, Yu Chengxuan subconsciously glanced at Lin Qingxi, whose face was slightly red, behind him, then gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, with a look of desperate resignation:
"Thank you, thank you sister!"
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the silence around the bar fell into silence for a moment. Both the bartender and the customers around him looked at the big boy with strange eyes.
Sitting in the seat, the corners of Luo Shiyin's mouth twitched slightly.
It was fun to tease the young lovers before, but when this 1.7-meter-tall boy actually shouted out, it felt... still too subtle.
After taking a sip of wine to calm down, Luo Shiyin said with a complicated tone:
"Why don't you just call me Wend."
"you……"
Looking at the black-haired girl in front of him who looked like "I dislike you a little, but I won't say it, you can feel it yourself", Chengxuan couldn't help but feel angry:
"Didn't you ask me to shout?"
"I can only say that it's more interesting to let little girls call me sister, but grown men should forget about it and sit down."
"Wende, this name doesn't sound like a Chinese name."
After what happened, the two of them stopped being polite and sat down on the chair next to Yu Luo Shiyin.
At the same time, the bartender gently pushed out two cocktails of different alcohol content and placed them in front of the two people.
"That's my name."
Without any awareness of using a colleague's name without permission, Luo Shiyin looked past Yu Chengxuan and raised her glass towards the girl.
Seeing this, Lin Qingxi was stunned at first, then quickly raised her wine glass and gently clinked it with Luo Shiyin across the air.
At this time, Yu Chengxuan had calmed down and began to secretly observe the black loli with long straight hair beside him who did not look like an "ordinary person" in any way.
If before he was curious about Luo Shiyin, whether she was the loli he had seen on the beach before, now he was curious about whether she had anything to do with the "rumor", and this was exactly the effect Luo Shiyin wanted to achieve.
"Does Miss Winder often come here to drink?"
Looking at the black loli with long straight hair who turned her attention to the stage after toasting with her schoolmate, as if she was just casually teasing him, Yu Chengxuan calmed himself down and opened his mouth to test her.
Originally, he was ready to be teased again, but to Chengxuan's surprise, this time Luo Shiyin gave the answer casually:
"First time here."
"Oh? The location of this bar is actually quite remote."
"Isn't this your first time here too?"
With her left arm casually leaning on the bar, and her right hand holding the cocktail to her mouth and taking a sip, Luo Shiyin tilted her head to look at the two again. Her deep purple eyes reflected glare and neon, making it difficult to see the emotions hidden in them:
"Or, what are you two here to investigate?"
His body tensed slightly, but his face still maintained the same expression as before:
"Hmm? From what Miss Winder said, has anything interesting happened in this bar? Can you tell us about it? I'm quite interested in supernatural stories."
"Little guy, your acting is terrible."
With a light laugh, Luo Shiyin retracted her gaze, speaking in a leisurely tone:
"If you want to deceive others, you have to deceive yourself first. Just keeping an unchanged expression on your face can only deceive laymen."
"Is it……"
Beads of sweat were faintly sliding down his temples, and Chengxuan Yu felt the tough feeling he hadn't felt in a long time.
It's not like he had never encountered difficult people to question before, but it was the first time that Chengxuan had seen someone like the loli with long black hair in front of him, who had a calm tone and a casual expression, but didn't have any room to ask questions.
Especially the look just now, which made him feel like he was completely seen through. He had never encountered this situation with anyone other than his own father.
"But if you can answer a question for me, I can tell you something."
Suddenly, Luo Shiyin tilted her head again as if she remembered something, and the same smile as before appeared on her face, which instantly made Yu Chengxuan feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.
But in order to obtain effective intelligence, the big boy hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded:
"You ask."
Chapter 43 - Familiar Settings
"Are you and this girl really just ordinary friends? Do you really have no feelings for her at all?"
In the dim bar, Luo Shiyin held her chin with one hand and asked a question with great interest that caught Ji Chengxuan off guard.
"I……"
Just as he was about to deny it, Yu Chengxuan felt the gazes around him suddenly become stronger. He turned his head subconsciously and found that his junior schoolmate was looking at him with half expectation and half apprehension.
After accidentally making eye contact with him, the girl immediately blushed and lowered her head, and her fingers holding the wine glass subconsciously twisted together.
This made Chengxuan's words that were about to come to his throat stopped, and he couldn't say them at all.
"me……"
Looking at the loli with long black hair in front of him with a slightly raised mouth and teasing purple eyes, the big boy's face flushed red.
The other customers around him also subconsciously looked in his direction, and some of the men's eyes were filled with encouragement.
But just when Yu Chengxuan was ready to speak his mind, Luo Shiyin suddenly waved her hand:
"Forget it~ The answer to this question is not suitable to be said here, so keep it for later. When you feel it is appropriate, tell the girl."
"Ah, ah?"
The determination that had been brewing for half a day was suddenly interrupted. Even with Yu Chengxuan's thinking, there was a momentary freeze, and it took a long time for him to recover.
However, seeing the unconcealed joy on the face of the girl with long black hair, he immediately realized that he was being teased again, and a look of depression appeared on his face.
But in contrast, the customers around him all smiled kindly, as if they already knew the answer he was about to say, which made the big boy feel hot on the face.
However, his concern for the incident made him suppress the depression and shame in his heart and continue to speak:
"Now that I have answered the question, shouldn't Miss Winder tell me something?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, are you still focusing on these things at this moment? You might have a hard time in the future, little girl."
Completely ignoring the depressed big boy, Luo Shiyin looked past him again and looked at the black straight-haired girl beside him who was lowering her head with a slightly red face.
Being called suddenly, Lin Qingxi subconsciously raised her head and glanced at her senior, then a faint smile appeared on her lips:
"No, your concentration on the case is also what makes you excellent."
"Qingxi..."
It seemed that he had never expected the other party to say that, and a trace of panic flashed in Yu Chengxuan's eyes.
Seeing this, Luo Shiyin didn't plan to continue teasing, and held her chin with one hand and said casually:
"Okay, what do you want to know?"
"There seem to be a lot of rumors on the Golden Coastline. Does Miss Winder know about this?"
Turning his head back, Yu Chengxuan took half a second to calm his mind and restore his expression to its original serious state.
Her white fingers were playing with the wine glass. Luo Shiyin's tone was full of disapproval, but she began to observe the surroundings out of the corner of her eyes:
"As for rumors, they exist everywhere in the world. Places like the Golden Coast that sell tourism as a selling point naturally have more of them. Which one are you talking about?"
"Three months ago, before the Golden Coastline was promoted by the government, a young couple came here to play. On the third night, the young man suddenly disappeared. After the woman reported the case, the security guards searched the entire coast but found nothing."
"It was not until the next morning that the patrolling sheriff found the man's drowned body on the beach... Has Miss Winder heard of this?"
Instead of answering the other party's question directly, Yu Chengxuan recounted the entire story of a case, while observing the customers around him out of the corner of his eyes.
However, the customers who had obviously just arrived during this period only showed curiosity about his story. The only one whose eyes changed slightly was... the bartender.
"This case..."
On the other side, Luo Shiyin also noticed the bartender's abnormality, but she did not point it out directly. Instead, she gently shook the wine glass in her hand, causing the ice cubes inside to collide with each other, making a crisp sound.
After everyone's attention was drawn to her, the black-haired girl said confidently:
“I haven’t heard of it.”
“So… huh?”
"Didn't I say this before? I'm just an ordinary tourist here on vacation. How could I possibly know these things?"
Seeing the other party's dazed look after his spellcasting was interrupted, Luo Shiyin couldn't help but smile softly:
"You might know more about this kind of thing if you ask a local than if you ask me."
"What about you just now, Miss Winder?"
"I just said 'I can tell you something', but it has to be something I know, right?"
[Did this guy intend to play a trick on me from the beginning? ]
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly. Thinking back to when he almost spoke out his inner thoughts in order to know the answer, Yu Chengxuan couldn't help but take a big sip of the cocktail in frustration.
Fortunately, the bartender saw that the two men were young and mixed low-alcohol liquor, otherwise they would have choked.
However, what the big boy didn't know was that Luo Shiyin was not only unaware of the inside story, she didn't even know the true nature of the rumor. Even the case just now was something she deliberately got out of her mouth.
