Chapter 1146 - The Boss Is Out (14)

The Impressive Band flooded the friend circle again.

The boy in the middle of the stage enchanted everyone with his charisma.

The Impressive Band rarely sang their own songs but when they did, the entire audience would liven up.

After this show ended, an agent looked for Peng Pai and asked if they wanted to debut.

Peng Pai was excited, but he rejected the offer.

He knew why the Impressive Band became popular. When Yu Jing agreed to join them, he told him that he didn’t want to debut.

If this promise was not kept, he would leave the band immediately.

Yu Jing wrote the songs. He was the lead singer. If he left, the Impressive Band would not be the same band anymore.

Currently, they were earning a good income.

Peng Pai thought about it. They had their individual jobs so they were lucky enough to be able to play as a band at night… like real artists!

“Sob… I just rejected a chance for me to become a superstar! Sister Qi, can you imagine how pained my heart was when I rejected the offer?” Peng Pai lay on the table and cried loudly. The people around him couldn’t help but look at him.

“Why did you reject them?”

Peng Pai continued, “What can I do? Even if I agreed, my boss will not. What is the point of agreeing?”

Ming Shu smiled. “At least you know that.”

Peng Pai looked at her angrily. Ming Shu immediately poured a glass of wine for him.

Ming Shu looked at the time. She ignored Peng Pai’s complaining and walked around the pub. She found Yu Jing in the corner.

There were many glasses of wine piled up in front of him. Yu Jing leaned lazily on the seat. The dim light shone on him and made him look mysterious.

“Go away.”

Yu Jing opened his eyes when he noticed someone coming toward him. The spikes on him stood up again.

Ming Shu felt that he looked like a cat that got provoked.

She wanted to tease him.

Ming Shu pushed down his legs and sat down. “The entire pub is mine. Where do you want me to go?”

Yu Jing was drunk. He straightened his body. “Your place… I will go. Let me go…”

Ming Shu pushed him back into the seat. Yu Jing fell into Ming Shu’s arms. His face pressed against something soft.

Yu Jing froze.

He regained some of his senses.

What the hell… is happening?

Will she hit me?

That’s possible…

Yu Jing swallowed. He pretended to be drunk. His head was a mess anyway.

However, he felt Ming Shu hugging his waist. She didn’t intend to hit him.

The seat in the corner seemed to be in a different world from the rest of the pub. Only his uneven breathing and Ming Shu’s heartbeat could be heard.

Yu Jing’s face turned hot. Under the influence of alcohol, his head started hurting even more.

What did she mean by this?

Her breathing got nearer. It swept past his face and landed beside his ear. “Happy birthday.”

“The next song is for someone’s girlfriend. We wish her a happy birthday.”

Voices sounded all around Yu Jing.

“Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.”

…

At the start, only the people on stage were singing. Towards the end, everyone in the audience was singing too.

The lights in the bar dimmed and a spotlight shone on a girl. The boyfriend walked towards her with a birthday cake.

In the corner, Ming Shu grabbed Yu Jing’s chin and kissed him amidst the music.

Yu Jing’s mind exploded. Fireworks appeared in his head.

Her lips tasted sweet like peaches. Yu Jing raised his head and kissed her back. When their lips touched, he felt electricity shooting through his body. His entire body turned hot.

Tears appeared at the corner of his eyes. “What are you crying for?”

Yu Jing looked more obedient when he was drunk.

“After she left… this is the first time I celebrate my birthday.” Yu Jing didn’t cry but his eyes were bloodshot. “Today is her death anniversary.”

Yu Jing was talking about his mother.

Ever since she died, that man only remembered her death anniversary. He would compensate him with gifts the next day but…

She died on his birthday. That day, she was on the way to his birthday party and…

Her life ended.

Sometimes, he felt that life was brittle.

Ming Shu kissed the corners of his eyes. “Don’t cry.”

“I’m not crying…”

Ming Shu moved her lips down to his nose and finally landed a kiss on his lips.

This kiss was even more passionate than the kiss just now.

Amidst the noisy atmosphere, Yu Jing felt calm. Everything that made him agitated had disappeared.

…

Ming Shu passed the unconscious Yu Jing to Peng Pai.

“Why did the boss drink so much? I rejected the offer to be a superstar. Why does it look as though he was the one who rejected it…” Peng Pai was puzzled when he saw the drunk Yu Jing. “Didn’t the boss say that alcohol is bad for the body?”

Peng Pai didn’t understand his boss. He said to Ming Shu, “Sister Qi, I’m leaving.”

“Okay.” Ming Shu sucked her lollipop and sent them to the door.

After they left, Ming Shu returned to the pub. Most people had left. Only a few customers remained.

Ming Shu walked toward a seat and passed some money over. “Thank you.”

The person receiving the money was the boyfriend who held the cake just now. He didn’t count the money and just placed it in his pocket directly. “You are being too polite, Sister Qi. This is just a small matter. Since you asked, I will definitely help you. However… isn’t this birthday a little… weird?”

Ming Shu bit her lollipop and looked at the stage. She retracted her gaze and smiled. “I’ll pay for everything today.”

…

Yu Jing woke up the next day with a headache. He was still wearing the clothes he wore yesterday. He smelled like alcohol.

How much did he drink?

Yu Jing stood up. After some time, he remembered something.

Yesterday night…

Images flashed across his mind. His expression turned strange.

He touched his lips. His tongue licked at them. They were still sweet.

Did she really kiss him?

“Fuck!”

Yu Jing almost fell down in shock. He rushed into the bathroom. Peng Pai woke up from the noise. “What happened?”

“No… nothing.” Yu Jing’s agitated voice came from the bathroom.

Peng Pai’s head was hurting too so he didn’t notice anything amiss. He explained, “Boss, I didn’t change your clothes because you didn’t allow me to.”

Peng Pai wanted to say something else but the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Peng Pai pressed his head against the door. He was sleepy. He went back to sleep.

Just as he was preparing to leave, he heard something strange.

Peng Pai reacted a little slowly. After some time, he shivered.

He slapped his face.

I’m still asleep…

Continue sleeping…
