In the afternoon after school was over, Pang Xia packed his books and, as usual, prepared to leave. Xu Yun that second generation ancestor wobbled over and extended his hand to block his path.
"Pang Xia, what are you doing? We agreed that it's my birthday today and I'm treating you, why are you still leaving? "
Pang Xia thought for a while, then asked with an emotionless face that was filled with youthful vitality, "Are you going to give me a birthday present?"
"A gift?" Xu Yun was slightly taken aback, followed by a face full of anticipation. "Of course, what gift are you going to give me then?"
He did not expect Pang Xia to say: "Then I'm not going."
Just as he reached the door, he started running. When Xu Yun finally regained his senses and ran back out of the classroom, there was no one left except for him and he could only stand at the window and shout, "Pang Xia, you super steel rooster! A pauper from the countryside! "
As he spoke, he gave Pang Xia who was on the cement road a middle finger.
Pang Xia looked up and was too lazy to bother with him. So what if he's stingy? Whoever was going to a birthday party, he had to go to work. He didn't have the time to hang out with these rich kids in the United States!
The place Pang Xia worked at was a bar, and the singer was from the same village as Pang Xia. His name was Gao Yang, and he looked a little neutral.
At first, when Gao Yang heard that Pang Xia wanted to earn a living, he introduced Pang Xia over, but at first Pang Xia was unhappy, because in his opinion, a country bumpkin's worth of value was like a mix of dragons and snakes, which was not suitable for a university student like him. However, Gao Yang said that the bar was different, as there were rich and powerful people living in the same community.
After seeing it, Pang Xia realised that Pang Xia was very quick-witted, did not talk much, and was very diligent in his work, so he agreed to let him come over at night to help. Pang Xia saw that the pub's environment was indeed good, refined and luxurious but was filled with elegance.
At the beginning, Pang Xia was still curious why it would close so early, but it just so happened to suit him since his security was set at 11 PM. Actually, Pang Xia didn't know that once the bar closed at 10 PM, it would only send a portion of the staff to get off work.
When Pang Xia arrived at 6: 00 PM, he handed over the wine to the other students of the day class, changed his clothes, and went back to work. It was different in Demonic City when the rich people held onto a handful of wine, but Pang Xia felt that he was not that busy, and his arms were about to break.
But it wasn't the golden age yet, so Pang Xia spent every day looking for Gao Yang with the time he spent in the bathroom. Gao Yang had something to eat!
As usual, they entered the stage familiarly. Pang Xia snuck into Gao Yang's resting room, while talking about singers who were higher than their attendants by more than a level. Look at this room, it seemed like it already caught up to a celebrity's resting room.
"Gao Yang!" Closing the door, Pang Xia sighed in his heart once again, and walked over with a face full of sunshine while smiling: "What did those little girls send you today? Was there still that cake last time? "
As he spoke, he completely ignored himself. On the tea table was a gift from Gao Yang's little fan. He stretched out his hand to flip around and actually found the cheesecake that was given to Gao Yang. He picked it up and scooped a mouthful, eating it with his large eyes narrowed into a lazy cat.
"Ugh …" It's still delicious. Gao Yang, you want some too? "
Pang Xia felt that he was really generous, he dug his mouth into a big hole and gave it to Gao Yang, who remained motionless like a statue, without even rolling his eyes.
Only now did Pang Xia realize that this person seemed to have maintained this posture since the beginning, and did not even talk to him before. Pang Xia waved the spoon in his hand in front of Gao Yang.
"Hello? Gao Yang, what's wrong? Is there something on your mind? "
Gao Yang regained his senses and looked up at Pang Xia, surprised. "When did you come in?"
Pang Xia was speechless, "About two minutes ago, you didn't even get to hear what I had to say to you for half a day."
"Sorry Pang Xia, I didn't notice."
Gao Yang smiled in embarrassment, but his eyes couldn't hide his exhaustion and confusion.
Pang Xia waved his hand to indicate that he did not mind, and asked with a frown of concern: "What's wrong with you? Why are your eyes so red? Did he not sleep all night? Just tell me what happened. "
Gao Yang laughed: "No, it's nothing. Eh …" This cake? This is Pang Xia's first time seeing a boy who likes to eat sweet food like you. "
Knowing that Gao Yang was changing the topic, he decided to not ask Pang Xia about it if he didn't want to talk about it. He replied, "Of course, my dream is to open a cake shop in the future, that way I can eat as much as I want."
Gao Yang was amused by his high-spirited look and smacked him on the head: "You're a dignified A-class talent, yet you only have this little ambition?" Your parents will cry themselves out if they hear it. "
Pang Xia laughed heartily. He quickly finished the last mouthful and stood up: "No, I have to go. When the time is up, I'll see you later, Gao Yang."
"Alright."
Pang Xia walked out of Gao Yang's resting room and couldn't help but turn around to take a look. Seeing that Gao Yang was still in a daze, he couldn't help but sigh. Did he have a crush on someone?
Pang Xia scratched his face in distress. "I'm really conflicted, what if I'm not really an emotional expert, speaking of me, I haven't even been in a relationship before …"
"..."
"Pang Xia, send these boxes to Room 203."
"Got it."
Pang Xia laughed and picked up two boxes of beer. He bared his teeth, beer was the most profitable thing in the bar, which idiot suddenly asked for ten boxes of beer, should he drink or take a bath?
Taking over and pushing open the 203 door, Pang Xia's face darkened. A group of familiar yet unfamiliar faces, the leader of the group, Xu Yun's face was completely red from drinking, and someone had smeared a cake on his face, yelling for someone to sing him a birthday song.
"Come come come, whoever sings badly will blow a bottle. Don't worry, we won't go overboard. Let's drink beer. Right, where's my beer? Have you brought me my beer? "
Xu Yun turned his head to look, and was also startled when he saw Pang Xia standing at the door. He extended his neck forward slightly and patted the people beside him: "Hey, are my eyes playing tricks on me, why do I seem to see Pang Xia, that steel rooster?"
The man did the same action as Xu Yun, confirming three times: "That's right, it's Pang Xia, Young Master Xu, you're not mistaken."
Pang Xia clenched his teeth, forced out a smile and placed the alcohol on the table, then said: "Here's your beer."
Xu Yun looked at the beer, then looked at Pang Xia, and pointed at him: "You … You... You work here? "
Pang Xia nodded: "It's very obvious."
"That's why you didn't come to my birthday?"
"?" Isn't this a little too much of a problem?
Xu Yun was very angry, he walked over and tugged on Pang Xia's arm: "Come, come over here and sing for me. I'll let you have a holiday today, I'll go and talk to your manager later."
Pang Xia pretended to be modest: "I'm sorry, I don't know how to drink. Besides, you guys have not finished serving your wine, I still have to go and get it."
Pang Xia wanted to pull his arm back, but Xu Yun refused to let go, his face full of impatience: "I already said I don't need you to go, what are you worried about? Can't I promise you that you won't lose your salary? "
As Xu Yun said this, the people around him also started to jeer: "Pang Xia, Young Master Xu has already said that, if you don't stay now, aren't you giving too much face?"
"Yeah, we're all classmates, you always listen to others being alone. It's rare to meet you today, and it's also Xu Yun's birthday, so you have to be interesting. You can't bear to buy gifts, so you should at least sing a birthday song, right?"
"That's right, we have to drink if we don't want to sing. A grown man doesn't have that much backbone.
Pang Xia looked at them in silence. "I already said, I don't know how to drink …"
Bang!
After placing an unknown bottle of wine in front of Pang Xia, Xu Yun stared at him and said coldly: "Fine, it's fine if you don't sing. After you drink this, I'll let you go!"
Pang Xia never thought that Xu Yun would suddenly be like this, he was simply an unreasonable bastard! Everyone in the class knew that Pang Xia could not drink, and normally they would not even touch a single drop of wine, not to mention that two-thirds of the people present would stop drinking this bottle of wine, so what about Pang Xia who was an outsider?
Someone beside him started to persuade him, saying, "Pang Xia, why don't you sing one for Young Master Xu? He's a little too much today, don't be stubborn with him …"
In the end, before he could even finish persuading them, Pang Xia suddenly picked up the bottle of wine and gulped down the contents of the bottle. This caused everyone present to be stunned, and even Xu Yun was so shocked that he quickly sobered up. Stop drinking, I... I just … Just a moment ago, he was quick to speak, and was playing around, with Pang Xia … Pang Xia... "
He stared angrily at Xu Yun, and just like that, he downed the entire bottle. That gaze caused Xu Yun to feel apprehensive, and even until the end of the school semester, he did not dare to speak a single word to Pang Xia, and was even vexed for the whole summer. Until September when school started, he thought that he could finally apologize to Pang Xia for his mistake, but Pang Xia had never come to school again.
Of course, that was what would happen in the future. The current situation was that Pang Xia drank an entire bottle of cognac in front of everyone, and after drinking it, he spat out a word in a clear voice towards Xu Yun, "Is it okay now? "I'm sorry, but I have to leave first. Happy Birthday."
After he finished speaking, Pang Xia steadily walked past everyone, one step at a time.
"Pang Xia!" Xu Yun seemed to want to say something, but when Pang Xia shot his knife eye forward, he immediately became so scared that he obediently shut his mouth. The thirty odd people in the class watched as Pang Xia walked out of the room, step by step.
Many people in the room were talking about it, they never thought that Pang Xia's alcohol capacity would be so good that it would blow away from him like nothing had happened. In fact, only Pang Xia knew that he truly had a lot, his face had already turned green, his focus was blurry, and they could vaguely see a winding corridor. Pang Xia clenched his teeth, fiercely pinching himself, and walked towards Gao Yang's resting room.
Fortunately, Pang Xia's willpower was strong, and he managed to last all the way to the backstage. Gao Yang wasn't there, so the moment the door closed, Pang Xia fell onto the ground with a thud. He closed his eyes, rolled a few times in pain, and fell asleep.
After Gao Yang finished singing, he went to the resting room with a heavy heart. Pang Xia laid on the ground motionlessly as he slept.
Gao Yang jumped in shock and quickly closed the door to support Pang Xia: "Pang Xia? Pang Xia? What's the matter with you? Why did you drink so much? "
Pang Xia opened his eyes in a daze, and it took a while for him to distinguish Gao Yang's face. When he spoke, he couldn't even control his tongue, "Gao … "Gao Yang..."
Gao Yang knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of Pang Xia like this, so he helped Pang Xia up and placed him on his shoulder to hold Pang Xia's waist.
"Come on, you won't be able to go back to school like this. Come to my place to rest for the night."
Pang Xia lowered his head and nodded slightly, he was already unable to speak. Gao Yang had no choice but to help others up, but before they could reach the door, he heard a knock on it, and a middle-aged man's voice sounded: "Gao Yang? Are you ready? "
Gao Yang felt as if he had been hit, his face pale white, and even the hand holding Pang Xia began to tremble.
"No, I …" I'm not ready. "
