Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 38 Beautiful Bad Woman (Thanks to Xiao Han, the Silver Alliance Leader from Yuequan Bay!)

"What, you two know each other?" Milo was also surprised.

"Of course I do."

Zhang Ruolin said, "Ding Han is my and Xiao Bai's best friend in Xicheng."

"That's it..."

Milo was a little embarrassed: "How about... we share a table? I'll bring all the drinks for this table!"

"Okay!"

Zhang Ruolin nodded and smiled, and then Milo arranged for the three of us to sit at one table. After saying sorry, he went backstage to prepare for the performance.

"Ding Han, how do you know Milo?" Xiao Bai asked.

"He's my roommate..."

"Wow, what a coincidence!"

Beside me, Zhang Ruolin gave me a meaningful look and smiled, "So, the person who gave you a condom yesterday and made you sleep with me was him?"

"if not?"

"Damn, I knew that voice sounded so familiar..."

Zhang Ruolin sat down angrily.

"Cough cough..."

I said in a deep voice, "Come over a little, everyone, let's talk quietly."

"Alright, boss!"

The two of them flanked me, one on each side.

"So, can't you two tell that Milo is also a player? If he weren't a player, how come he can sing so many songs from our world?"

"I know."

Zhang Ruolin said, "Even if we know, we won't say it out loud. It's better to keep things a little ambiguous. Besides, Milo is really talented in music. His voice and playing are both excellent, and he handles his emotions perfectly. To be honest, even in our world, he would be considered a very, very good singer. He's just not getting the recognition he deserves."

"Too."

I nodded: "Let's make this clear first, I can't hold my liquor, so you two shouldn't force me to drink."

"Don't worry, I won't let you get drunk."

Soon after, customers began to enter, and the bar quickly became nearly full. Just then, another familiar figure appeared in the bar.

Lu Xiaobei!
She also showed up furtively and sat alone at the table next to mine.

Wow, this is getting lively...

I was speechless. When I looked up at her again, Lu Xiaobei had already seen me. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anger as she stared straight at me, as if to say, "Well, Ding Han, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person too!"

At this point, Zhang Ruolin, Ling Baiwei, and I were huddled together; the situation was beyond explanation...

"Xiaobei..."

I greeted them.

"Humph!"

Lu Xiaobei didn't say anything and turned her face away.

"Yo……"

Zhang Ruolin, being a shrewd old fox, naturally saw through it at a glance: "Is the prettiest one your girlfriend?"

"no……"

I explained, "When I first came to Xicheng, I was all alone and worked in an internet cafe. She was the owner of the internet cafe."

"That's it..."

Ling Baiwei said, "Should we invite her over to play together?"

"Judging from her attitude, that's impossible."

I was speechless. The reason Lu Xiaobei was angry was probably because she had painfully overspent two months' salary on me, and I had actually used that money to go out and have a lavish time at a bar. No wonder she was angry.

……

Not long after, Milo came on stage with two young men, one a drummer and the other a bassist. Milo himself played guitar and sang lead vocals. After sitting down, he smiled and introduced a new song he had written called "The Ordinary Road".

"How shameless."

I whispered, "Pu Shu is crying his eyes out in the toilet!"

Zhang Ruolin and Xiaobai desperately suppressed the urge to burst into laughter.

As the guitar music began, everyone was gradually drawn into the atmosphere. When Milo started singing, he immediately captivated the entire audience. It must be said that Milo does indeed possess remarkable musical talent.

After singing three songs in a row, he won a round of applause.

Milo rested for a bit before coming down to offer a toast.

"Ding Han, Ruolin and Xiaobai often support me, so you must keep these two beauties company. Here, this bottle of wine is my toast to you three good friends."

"Row!"

The two beautiful women nodded in unison.

Helpless, I could only pick up a bottle of Heineken.

I drank half a bottle in one go, and my head immediately started to feel dizzy.

After that, Milo sang one old song after another, making me feel very melancholy. I began to miss our world, miss everything there, and especially miss my mother who was left behind in that world. Before I knew it, I had drunk a little too much.

His face started to tingle, but just then he saw a very handsome young man walk over to Lu Xiaobei's table with a bottle of beer, toast Lu Xiaobei, and then the two of them chatted and laughed.

By chance, Lu Xiaobei's eyes met mine, and he snorted before looking away and continuing to chat with the young man.

"Fuck, no way..."

I frowned and whispered in Zhang Ruolin's ear, "I think I'm a little tipsy. Keep an eye on things and make sure that man doesn't bully Lu Xiaobei."

"What do you mean by that...?"

Zhang Ruolin said, "If you care about her so much, why don't you just go over and hug her?"

"..."

I am speechless.

But the effects of the alcohol gradually took hold, and the hazy feeling was gradually overtaking the high ground of sobriety.

"Plop~~~"

Before nine o'clock, I completely blacked out and collapsed onto the table.

……

My head was spinning; the hangover was awful, and what was even more shameful was that just three bottles of premium Heineken beer had put me in this predicament. "Phew..."

I slowly opened my eyes and saw a familiar ceiling.

This seems to be my room, and I'm already lying on the bed with my coat and pants off, neatly hanging on the hanger.

Outside, the sound of laughter from a man and a woman talking could be heard. One of them was Milo, and the other... was not Ruolin and Xiaobai, but Lu Xiaobei!
"oops……"

I suddenly sobered up and remembered what happened before I got drunk. Wasn't Lu Xiaobei chatting happily with that handsome guy? How did she end up here? And how did she meet Milo?
She got up, dressed, and opened the door, only to see Milo and Lu Xiaobei sitting face to face.

“Emma, ​​the Bacchus is awake!” Milo said with a smile.

"Are you fucking mean or what...?"

I gave him a helpless look, then glanced at the clock in the living room; it was 11:30.

"Milo, aren't you at work? Why are you back?"

"You..."

Milo said speechlessly, "You passed out after just three bottles of beer. It was Lu Xiaobei who brought you back... I was worried that something might happen to Xiaobei, a girl, if she brought you back alone, so I left work early to come back and check on her. Luckily, Xiaobei hadn't left yet, so I sang her a few songs."

"Singing in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of your neighbors complaining?"

True musicians are unafraid of worldly gossip.

I gave him a "you're awesome" look, then poured myself a cup of hot water, sat down next to Milo, and glared at Lu Xiaobei.

Lu Xiaobei glared at me, looking angry.

The atmosphere was a bit tense. Milo grinned and said, "Don't stare like that, Xiao Bei. I'll sing you another song. This is one of my specials, one that I never sing."

"Okay!"

Lu Xiaobei nodded with a smile; by this point, she had most likely become a fan of Milo.

Indeed, how many girls her age could resist a man like Milo who is handsome, talented, and possesses an indescribable artistic and melancholic style?

Milo played the guitar and sang Jay Chou's "Shanghai 1943".

"The yellowed Spring Festival couplets still remain on the wall, with a few words 'May you have peace year after year' still faintly visible. In the rice jar of my old home, which I haven't been back to, my grandfather wrote 'Full' in regular script..."

It must be said that his voice is really quite good, and he sang this song with a different flavor from the original singer.

……

"It sounds nice..."

After the song ended, Lu Xiaobei remained immersed in it, seemingly unable to calm down for a long time.

"Ding Han, why don't you sing one too?"

Milo pushed the guitar towards me and laughed, "Come on, show Xiao Bei what we've got, and tell her that even though we can't hold our liquor, we're actually pretty good at music!"

"You want to embarrass me in public?" I glared at him.

"Just have fun with yourselves, make yourselves happy, don't worry about so much."

"Okay, you said it!"

I adopted a "what the hell" attitude, picked up my guitar, and started tuning it.

"..."

Lu Xiaobei looked at me in surprise, seemingly astonished that I could actually play the guitar.

So, under Lu Xiaobei's expectant gaze, I played a piece and sang a song that Milo hadn't sung before, a song called "Birch Forest" by Pu Shu.

"White snow drifts quietly through the village, pigeons fly under the overcast sky, and two names are carved on the birch tree; they vowed to love each other for the rest of their lives..."

Despite the constant off-key playing, I didn't mind at all and sang the song "Birch Forest" with complete immersion.

“Pa bang bang~~~”

Milo clapped dryly: "Wow, you really sang the whole thing! Remember to go over the lyrics later..."

I chuckled.

"Is this the right tune? It sounds weird; it doesn't have the same smoothness as when Milo sings."

Lu Xiaobei commented, "Ding Han, you still need to learn from Milod in terms of music."

"Hey……"

Milo was secretly pleased, scratching his head with a smile.

However, Lu Xiaobei quickly added, "But Ding Han's voice is better than yours; it's cleaner and clearer."

"..."

This time, I was riding high, but Milo wasn't so happy.

"okay!"

I slowly stood up: "What time is it? I'll take you home."

"Good~"

Lu Xiaobei also got up.

Under the moonlight, we walked along the road towards the internet cafe. The two of us seemed to be preoccupied with our own thoughts and didn't speak. I didn't turn back until after I had taken Lu Xiaobei into the internet cafe.

……

I drank too much at the bar and have no memory of what happened after that, so I picked up my phone and sent a message to Zhang Ruolin, saying, "I'm sober now. Did anything embarrassing happen at the bar?"

"voice?"

"Row!"

The next second, Zhang Ruolin sent a voice call.

"Actually, many embarrassing things happened..." she said solemnly.

How embarrassing was it?

"Originally, you were drunk, and Xiaobai and I were planning to take you back to your place. But who would have thought that your pretty boss would suddenly ignore the handsome guy next to her and just rush over and grab you. Judging from her attitude, she thought Xiaobai and I were some kind of vixen and that she was the proper girlfriend. She was fierce and wouldn't let us touch you. After that, she took you home by herself..."

"..."

I was speechless.

"besides."

Zhang Ruolin said, "When I saw you off after leaving the bar, do you know what Lu Xiaobei said to me?"

"What did you say?"

"She actually called me a beautiful bad woman and told me to stay away from you. You're such a cute boss, hahaha~~~" On the other end of the phone, Zhang Ruolin burst into laughter, completely disregarding her ladylike image.
