Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 12 Women’s Heart

"Welcome, Ms. Hitomi."

Hearing Xia Fan's voice greeting customers, Lin Ye looked up in surprise and saw Nishino Hitomi pushing the door into the store.

Yes, when we met at the amusement park during the day, she "said" that she would come to the store again in the evening, and she did.

"Ms. Hitomi, what would you like to drink today?" Lin Ye asked with a smile to Hitomi Nishino who was sitting at the bar.

Nishino Hitomi glanced at him and smiled: "A glass of Pretty Lady."

Lin Ye was slightly stunned.

Is it the pretty lady again?

Seeing a hint of carefreeness in Nishino Hitomi's eyes, he instantly understood that it seemed that she had completely let it go.

Did anything happen to them after that?

"OK, just a second."

Nishino Hitomi propped up her chin and observed Lin Ye who was busy at the bar. Her smooth and graceful movements and reassuring temperament deeply attracted her.

[Unfortunately, I met Mr. Lin Ye too late]

She turned her head and secretly observed Aragaki Kaho in the lobby with her peripheral vision. As expected, the other party was paying attention to this side. Although she pretended to be indifferent, it was easy to see through.

[Please restrain yourself a little, so that Ms. Aragaki won’t get jealous]

She knew well the pain of having her loved one taken away, so she stopped looking at Lin Ye and started observing the wine cabinet behind him.

The wine cabinet is filled with rows of wine bottles.

[It’s amazing to remember so many wine names and characteristics]

"Ms. Hitomi, your pretty lady."

As she was staring at the wine cabinet in a daze, Lin Ye's soft voice brought her back to her senses, and a pink wine glass appeared in front of her.

Lin Ye smiled.

Miss Renmei's occasional revelations changed his impression of her.

When he heard Miss Hitomi's motive for murder, he thought she was a terrible woman.

But now it seems that she was just blinded by hatred and jealousy, and she is actually a gentle woman.

A gentle person should be treated gently, so his voice became even softer.

Hearing Lin Ye's voice, Nishino Hitomi's heart trembled, and he said jokingly:

"Mr. Lin Ye, you are so gentle to your guests. Won't Miss Xin Yuan be jealous?"

Lin Ye glanced at Aragaki Xiafan, and the latter immediately turned away when her gaze met his.

Lin Ye smiled and said, "How could that be? This is my job. A bartender can't treat customers coldly."

Nishino Hitomi took a sip of wine and her cheeks turned the same pink as the glass.

"Oh, so it's just because of work. Then, when you meet a beautiful female customer, will you be extra gentle?"

“Haha, no matter if you are male or female, beautiful or ugly, noble or ordinary, as long as you walk into this bar and sit at the bar, you are a customer in my eyes.

"Depending on the guests' personalities and preferences, the way I receive them may be different, but I hope that the guests can have a moment of joy here, which is the same," Lin Ye said sincerely.

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Nishino Hitomi's eyes sparkled with an inexplicable brilliance: "Thank you for the wine, Mr. Lin Ye, this is a great cocktail, I am very happy now."

"For a bartender, it is a happy thing to make a cocktail that makes the guests happy. Thank you for your compliment."

Nishino Hitomi smiled, took a few more sips of wine, then held the glass and said absentmindedly:
"Mr. Lin Ye, did you know that after we separated this afternoon, Mr. Kishida and Miko had a big fight for some unknown reason and even started fighting in public?

"Miko scratched Mr. Kishida's face, and Mr. Kishida slapped Miko hard. Miko called the police and they were all taken away. Miss Miko threatened to put Mr. Kishida in jail..."

Lin Ye listened quietly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Nishino Hitomi continued: "When I saw Kishida beating Miko violently, I suddenly felt so stupid for falling in love with such a man and even planning to..."

Nishino Hitomi lowered her head. "When I saw them fighting and when I saw them being taken away by the police, I felt indescribable joy in my heart."

A trace of confusion flashed across Nishino Hitomi's face:
"Mr. Lin Ye, am I a despicable woman? Even... a terrible woman."

Lin Ye listened to Nishino Hitomi's confession silently, and was a little surprised. He didn't expect such a thing to happen afterwards. However, he heard the two people's thoughts on the roller coaster. The two were not really in love, but just looking for a temporary excitement.

And from the way they talk and behave, we can tell that they are both people with strong personalities. They may be inseparable while the novelty of the relationship is still there, but once the passion fades, conflicts will inevitably arise.

I just didn't expect that they would fight in public in the amusement park. It seemed that something must have happened between the two of them, maybe a verbal dispute, or maybe one of them proposed to break up...the reason is no longer important.

"Miss Renmei, don't doubt yourself. This is just human nature. As long as you don't do anything terrible, it doesn't matter what you think in your heart. There is an old saying in China, "Judging by deeds, not by heart." I wonder if Miss Renmei has heard of it?"

"Judging from the actions and not the heart?" Nishino Hitomi shook her head in confusion.

"It means that when judging a person, we should not look at what he thinks, but what he does. What matters is his behavior."

Nishino Hitomi blinked, as if she understood something.

Lin Ye continued, "Even if Miss Hitomi wanted to cut Mr. Kishida into pieces, no one would blame you for it. Because you didn't do such a thing.

"And the fact that Mr. Kishida and Ms. Miko fought in public has nothing to do with you, so even if you feel happy about it, you don't need to feel ashamed."

Nishino Hitomi took a sip of wine and smiled with relief.

"You are right, Mr. Lin Ye. Chinese culture is indeed profound and full of wisdom."

[In fact, I secretly told Miko in the bathroom about what happened between me and Mr. Kishida... I didn't expect that the two would react so violently. But Mr. Lin Ye is right, judging by the actions rather than the heart, I didn't intend for them to fight, so it's not my fault.]

When Lin Ye heard what Nishino Hitomi was thinking, the smile on his face froze.

This……

Miss Hitomi seemed to have misinterpreted the meaning of this sentence.

But never mind, this was much better and smarter than her original plan to kill someone.

At least Mr. Kishida saved his life.

But the look in his eyes when he looked at Hitomi Nishino changed subtly.

This woman is indeed a powerful one! In every sense of the word.

"Mr. Lin Ye, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Nishino Hitomi keenly noticed Lin Ye's gaze and asked with a little confusion.

"Oh, nothing, I just think you should smile more." Lin Ye responded calmly.

"You mean, I look better when I smile?" Nishino Hitomi's face turned even redder.

"Yes." Lin Ye has always been generous in praising his guests.

"Haha, although I'm very happy to hear you say that, if you continue to praise me like this, Miss Aragaki might get angry. Even at work, you should pay more attention to your girlfriend's mood. When a woman gets angry, she can be very scary." Nishino Hitomi smiled with narrowed eyes.

That's true, but unfortunately, she is not mine...

"I'm not his girlfriend, you can just tease him as you like." Aragaki Kaho's voice came from the side.

"No?" Nishino Hitomi was stunned, "Then what do you do during the day?"

Lin Ye glanced at the angry Aragaki Kaho. It seemed that she had really given up on seducing him. He smiled and explained, "Miss Aragaki and I are just colleagues and friends. We just went out to play together during the day. I went because she asked for a treat."

When she heard Lin Ye mention treating everyone, Aragaki Xiafan glared at him again.

Nishino Hitomi smiled and said, “So that’s how it is.”

[Friends and colleagues? They were so close during the day... ah, I see, they are still in the ambiguous period, so I still have a chance? No, I still don't want to destroy other people's feelings. Love is the sweetest when it's budding... There are so many men in the world, am I afraid I won't find the right one?]

Nishino Hitomi put down her wine glass, stood up, and bowed deeply to Lin Ye.

"Mr. Lin Ye, thank you again for your cocktail making. You saved me. From now on, I will live a good life."

"I am very honored."

After paying the bill, Hitomi Nishino left the bar.

Through the glass window, Aragaki Kaho looked at her back in confusion.

She pretended to casually wander over to the bar and asked Lin Ye, "What does she mean by rescue? It's just a glass of wine. That's too exaggerated."

Lin Ye looked at the street outside the window and said with a smile:

"Xia Fan, drinking is not only about tasting the wine, but also about emotional communication. The spiritual experience is also a part of drinking, even more than the taste of the wine itself. Maybe she figured out something in the store, so she thanked me so solemnly."

Aragaki Kaho still couldn’t understand, could a glass of wine really be so magical?
