Chapter 75 - "The Same As Her"

'Heh, Tan Xinya immediately asks Zhao Yang. So, she doesn't want to waste her chance, huh?'

Lai Jiayi pursed her lips and sighed.

'Then I can't make Zhao Yang not order any drink. Here I thought Tan Xinya would be distracted if I kept asking her. Zhao Yang too, won't order any drinks soon. I guess I'm wrong.'

"Mr. Zhao, is your order the usual?" Tan Xinya smiled at the man. She pressed the word 'usual' so that Lai Jiayi would hear her.

'Ah, by saying this, Tan Xinya is trying to show off how much she knows about Zhao Yang. Lame.'

Lai Jiayi just played with Yaya's head, ignoring whatever Tan Xinya asked Zhao Yang. She didn't even look at the man. But the man was the one looking at Lai Jiayi.

He paused for a few seconds before opening his mouth.

"The same as her."

!

Tan Xinya widened her eyes. She stared at Zhao Yang in disbelief.

'This guy doesn't order the usual pink drink? The one reminding him of his past lover– wait. He orders the same drink as this little brat!! What does this mean??'

Tan Xinya wanted to crack open Zhao Yang's head and see what the guy was thinking. But then, she just glossed it off.

"Alright, two Sunset cocktails. I'll excuse myself for now." Tan Xinya turned around gracefully, and the smell of her perfume lingered in the air. It was still the same fragrance as the one Zhao Yang's lover used.

If this were the usual Friday, Zhao Yang would definitely become emo because of it. But today, maybe because someone else was there, he didn't dwindle for too long.

The man just raised an eyebrow and crossed his legs without changing his expression at all. Coincidentally, Tan Xinya glanced back only to see Zhao Yang's indifferent face.

She almost hit the alcohol shelf in front of her.

[What is this?! Why is he so calm?? The past Fridays, he will always show a sad face whenever he smells this perfume!] Tan Xinya grumbled to Verco as she picked up a few liquor bottles.

The woman kept glancing back at the two people behind her.

[...calm down, hisss. Don't forget your purpose now is to tamper with Zhao Yang's drink, hisss.] Verco stuck out his tongue as he snaked around the woman's neck.

The snake looked so calm and undisturbed that Tan Xinya also calmed down.

[Right. Have you prepared that thing?] Tan Xinya inhaled deeply. The woman looked at Verco with stern eyes.

[I have, hisss. The pill that can evoke one's guilt and make them emo, right?]

[Yes, that one. Do I only need to put that pill in the drink like the last time?]

[Correct, hisss. Just don't give Zhao Yang the wrong glass without the pill, hiss…] Verco's deep voice sounded in Tan Xinya's mind.

The snake then slowly left the woman's neck and floated in the air instead.

[I will never give the wrong glass. I'm not that stupid.] Tan Xinya chuckled. The woman then started to make the drink.

While the woman was busy with her work, the two customers behind her fell silent. Zhao Yang didn't say anything and just stared at the table.

Whereas, Lai Jiayi was talking with Yaya while occasionally glancing at Zhao Yang.

[Yaya, what to do. Tan Xinya already starts to make the drink. I thought she would make it in front of us so I can prevent her, but no….]

[As long as you prevent Zhao Yang from drinking, quack, it will be okay. Just keep asking him something so that he won't drink, quack, ] Yaya suggested.

So, Lai Jiayi only needed to keep talking until Zhao Yang couldn't touch his drink.

[Can I speak to him first? Will that breach the rule? This isn't within my job period, after all.] Lai Jiayi tapped her fingers on the table and sighed.

'Why is it so hard just to sabotage someone else's plan?'

[You can, quack. Because this moment is counted as an event 'accompanying your boss to drink.' So, you can freely talk with him, quack.] Yaya nodded.

[But once you two exit the bar, please don't talk to Zhao Yang unless he initiates that, quack.]

[Okay, get it. An event, huh. You can say this is a scene, though.] Lai Jiayi mumbled. The girl then glanced at Zhao Yang.

The young man put both of his elbows on the table as he propped his chin. He looked like he was focusing on something. But in reality, he did nothing.

'Hmmm, should I bring up this evening's topic? We got so awkward because of that, right? I need to solve that.'

Lai Jiayi took a deep breath and slowly opened her mouth.

"U-uh, boss…" her soft voice calling for the man sounded like a cute little rabbit. Anyone would feel their ears itched for this voice.

Zhao Yang's body stiffened. The guy turned his head around and nodded.

"What is it?"

His face was quite close to Lai Jiayi since the man's shoulder touched the girl's shoulder. But Lai Jiayi didn't mind it. She didn't know why she's not bothered, but that's a good thing.

"Emm...I wonder w-where is Tianjin?" Lai Jiayi focused her eyes on Zhao Yang so she wouldn't see other young men in the background.

'Even if I'm okay with Zhao Yang, it might only be temporary. And it doesn't mean I'm okay with the other young men!'

Being asked like that, Zhao Yang blinked. He glanced at the empty air next to him and sighed.

"Tianjin stayed back to return Bunnie's hacking skill."
