Chapter 184 - Relieving Sorrows

That bar was named “Rock it!”

A few scattered seats were over the corners, suitable for those coming for alcohol to ease their sorrows.

Speaking of that, it was Long Xi’s first time entering a bar.

Mo Kun had never brought her to such a complex place and was afraid that she would learn some bad behaviors. She thought it would be boring if she went to a bar alone and dared not get there behind Mo Kun, the man who was always jealous.

Because of that, she was particularly curious.

Various posters related to rock music were attached to the walls; a few of which were Long Xi’s favorite stars, like the rock singer Wong Ka Kui who had passed away years ago.

“Eh? Xixi!” Ai Meiqi, standing behind the bar, saw Long Xi there and happily greeted her.

Long Xi was also surprised to see her there.

“Haha, my boy, you told me you would invite a special guest here. It turned out to be Little Xi. Hum, it’s not a surprise!” Ai Meiqi said to Yan Wangchuan.

Her voice was still crisp and tender like a little girl’s. Her eyesight was still clear. It seemed as if her growing up was paused and did not know what it was to be mature.

In such terms, Yan Wangchuan’s temperament was totally different. It seemed that a super mature soul was inside his young body. His eyes could figure out all the sadness, joys, and changes in the world.

A sense of innate elegance was hidden in his maturity, adding a piece of incompatible sexy quality. The two kinds of different qualities were very strangely fused into him.

Yan Wangchuan took Long Xi to the bar and said seriously, “Mom, didn’t you ask me why I broke up with Lanlan? This is the answer.”

Long Xi had not expected that Ai Meiqi would be there and Yan Wangchuan would say something that ridiculous in front of his own mother. The atmosphere turned embarrassing. She wrested herself away from his arms.

Ai Meiqi swayed her hands and said seriously, “My boy, don’t talk nonsense. Little Xi has a lover!”

Yan Wangchuan said, “Haven’t you read the tabloids recently? Oh, I see. You’re busy dating with Uncle Lei and preparing for your wedding. So how can you have enough time to care about others?”

Ai Meiqi could not help blushing.

Long Xi’s attention was attracted by that explosive “news”. She asked with her eyes widely opening, “Aunt Meiqi, is that real?”

“Of course, it is true!” The speaking man was taking a cigar in his mouth. A slight sweet smell of tobacco came from the air. His long brown hair was divided into several dirty pigtails, evenly spaced with some red beads as decoration.

Ai Meiqi glanced at the man with shyness when wiping the wine glass. Her face blushed, saying to Long Xi, “It is because Chuanchuan did some personal advertising of his concert. This old naughty boy came to me.”

The man said with a smile, “I’m not the only one coming for you. Few males can resist your charm, alive or among the living dead. I tried so hard to defeat all the competitors and win your heart!”

Ai Meiqi gave him a shy look and said at a low voice, “You’re such an old but still licentious man!”

“Come on, Xiaolongnv, sit over there.” Yan Wangchuan had sat down and asked Long Xi to sit by his side.

Long Xi deliberately took a seat near Yan Wangchuan with a seat between them.

Yan Wangchuan was not angry, moving to seat right next to Long Xi calmly.

Long Xi had no mood to tangle with him and asked Ai Meiqi, “What are you doing at the bar?”

Ai Meiqi said with a smile, “I came to help him! Since Chuanchuan can earn money, he asked me to quit my job. I am so bored every day! This bar belongs to that old naughty boy and he is the bartender. His family name is Lei. You can call him brother Lei. He won’t accept it if you call him uncle Lei!”

Brother Lei was teasing Long Xi and said, “You can call me uncle Lei as Chuan! If you call me brother Lei, you should call her sister Qi. Or else we would be in different generations.”

Long Xi called him “uncle Lei” sweetly. Brother Lei answered with a smile.

Ai Meiqi accused Yan Wangchuan, “Why did you bring Little Xi over here? She had never gone to a bar before!”

Yan Wangchuan said, “She asked me where how she could relieve her pressure, so I brought her here. Mom, Mo Kun lost his memory and bought a villa to live with another woman. Yesterday night, he took Qiuzi to participate in the auction and bought her a jade pin of the Tang Dynasty. Today’s gossip news spoke of it.”

Ai Meiqi was stunned and asked Long Xi, “Really?”

Long Xi shook his head bitterly.

She also did not read the entertainment news and was not aware of that.

However, she believed that Yan Wangchuan would not lie to her on that issue.

Was he really going to get engaged with Qiuzi?

“It’s okay. He just has a new sweetheart. As an old saying goes, a chicken dies while another chicken is born! Good men are too many in this world! Everything will be fine after days go by!” Brother Lei had a cigar in his mouth, setting out his temperament of freedom and sexy charm.

Ai Meiqi shook the wine glass. After a while, she served a cup of wine to Yan Wangchuan and Long Xi respectively.

“This is my favorite.” Yan Wangchuan smiled and held up the cup of wine in front of him. That cup of blue wine was called the heart of ocean, which was extremely beautiful.

He opened his lips lightly and took a sip. The salt cream first covered his mouth. The faint salty taste was like the sense of tears, while the acid taste of lime seemed to be the mood of a mistress. Later, the special taste of whiskey was rich and mellow, allowing people to forget everything.

“The cocktail is named after the tears of the heart of the ocean. Mom, you always understand my demons.” Yan Wangchuan said to his mother or murmured to himself.

In front of Long Xi, there was a delicate and clear crystal peach blossom cup with transparent cherry-colored liquid.

Immediately, the aroma was the mixed smell of flowers and spicy flavors.

Long Xi held up the wine cup, smelling the mixed flavor of cherry and peach blossoms. The rich smell of flowers and special cherry was dispersed, forcibly occupying all her senses with those aromas.

Long Xi placed the wine glass by her mouth and carefully took a sip. The taste of the wine instantly spread in his mouth. It seemed that thousands of peach blossoms bloomed in 10 miles, following with a delicate dried fruit taste and milk.

Long Xi took sips slowly and seemed to be attracted by the wine, tasting the rich flavor in her mouth. The flavor lasted long.

“Good wine…” The heat caused by the wine was released.

“This is fruit and flower wine made by your uncle Lei, named ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, haha.” Ai Meiqi explained with a smile.

Long Xi felt an extraordinary taste when drinking the wine. It seemed to accumulate the essence of the sun and the moon and precipitate the time, calling out the desire of love in Long Xi’s bones by its delicate elegance.

Unconsciously, she had bottomed up her cup.

Yan Wangchuan looked at Long Xi who had been totally attracted by the wine, and a subtle smile flashed by the corner of his mouth.

“Do you want something to drink?” Yan Wangchuan leaned his body towards her warmly. His sexy aroma mixed with a faint wine induced smile swept across Long Xi’s vision.

Long Xi seemed to be completely immune to his kindness and did not fall into his love advances.

“Yan Wangchuam, have you forgotten the proper business?”

“What’s the proper business?” Yan Wangchuan asked confusedly.

“Relieving my pressure!” Long Xi said earnestly.

Yan Wangchuan held Long Xi’s shoulders and sat in the double seats in front of the stage, saying in a low voice, “Let me massage you tonight, and you will be relaxed!”

Long Xi felt something wrong in his words and pushed him away. She said, “If you behave like this, I’ll just leave.”

She stood up and wanted to do just that.

Yan Wangchuan said with a smile, “Why are you in such a hurry?”

“I don’t have to waste my time here,” Long Xi said.

“Wait for a moment. The rock band will be here soon. I’ll go to the bathroom. Their songs are good, while the lead singer’s voice is like your favorite Wong Ka Kui,” Yan Wangchuan said quietly.

Wong Ka Kui? The Hong Kong singer Wong Ka Kui who achieved his music dreams but unfortunately died young?

When Long Xi was young…

She sat down again for Wong Ka Kui and bottomed up another cup of ‘miles of peach blossoms’.

Yan Wangchuan entered a small room next to them and closed the door.

He went to the bathroom for a long time and did not return for 15 minutes.

She did not find out that uncle Lei was not over the bar and had gone somewhere.

When Long Xi waited for a long time and felt impatient, the door of a small room next to her opened, with four people dressed like the members of a rock band!

What surprised Long Xi the most was that the leader was actually Yan Wangchuan.

He was dressed very gentlemanly in a British-styled casual suit of the L&M brand.

At the moment, he presented himself with short white hair and discolored glasses. His lips were purple-black. A skull-shaped metal ear-ring was on one of his ears. A guitar was hanging up his neck. He wore a metal chain with a cross pendant made of a sword and an axe.

He was wearing a cool punk-style black leather jacket and an abdomen-exposed black leather vest inside. He also wore whitish and intentionally worn jeans and a pair of trendy studded straight boots.

He smiled and waved to Long Xi, saying, “Is this surprise good enough?”

Long Xi was bewildered.

The three men behind Yan Wangchuan should be the bassist, the drummer, and a guitarist.

That drummer turned out to be uncle Lei, which stunned Long Xi again!

As soon as they stepped onto the stage, the colorful lights lit up.

Yan Wangchuan said to Long Xi, “I’ve booked the whole bar tonight, and you’re the only guest! I will sing for you! The first I want to present to you is ‘I Like You’.”

Long Xi applauded with a smile.

“The drizzle brings the wind to wet the streets at dusk. I wipe the drops from my eyes and look up at the lonely lamps. That is a sad memory…” Yan Wangchuan was playing the guitar while singing in an emotional way.
