I already said this is not a life simulator!

"Indeed, so...you can only drink three quarters at most today."

"Well, that's very good. Thank you for your tolerance and kindness."

Eden drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. His face turned slightly red almost instantly. His voice became frivolous and full of a strange psychedelic feeling, and his eyes became a little vague.

Eden didn't seem to be able to drink very well. She was half drunk after just one small glass of wine, but she still poured wine into her glass.

"You should pay a little more attention to your image..."

Xi Wang glanced around... He noticed that there was a table of young people nearby who seemed to be taking pictures in this direction. He warned them with his eyes, and after receiving their slightly apologetic gestures, Xi Wang withdrew his gaze.

At the same time, Xiwang also noticed that there was a middle-aged couple sitting at a table not far away. They seemed to be looking over here from time to time... but fortunately, they did not take any further action.

"Your singing is spreading all over the Internet now, right? A lot of people are discussing your singing... Well... It seems that you have succeeded."

"Yeah~ Like I said, I did it~"

Eden took another sip of the wine. The slightly tipsy feeling it brought her made her addicted. Hmm...is this not a good thing to do?

It was obviously just the first time I was with Xi Wang... Isn't it a bad idea to have dinner with someone of the opposite sex for the first time? And drinking alcohol... It always feels like something only a bad girl would do...

Eden tilted his head, swirling his wine glass while thinking about random things.

"Are you just reacting now?"

At this moment, Xi Wang seemed to know what she was thinking. He supported his face with one hand and said with a helpless expression.

"And you are so bold to choose a restaurant like this..."

Xi Wang glanced around... The atmosphere in the restaurant seemed very quiet. Every customer controlled the volume of their voices, so it didn't feel too noisy. Under the dim lighting, the surrounding atmosphere seemed somewhat... ambiguous.

"If I were a bad person, you would be in trouble now, Eden."

Xi Wang said this casually, and then glanced at the couple not far away, noticing that they seemed to have cast their gaze over here again...

"Um... no~"

Eden's voice had become a little drunk.

"Xiwang, you're not that kind of person, are you?"

"It's obviously the first time we meet, and you dare to say that..."

"But we've communicated many times, haven't we?"

Eden raised her glass to signal, and when she saw Xiwang also raised his glass, she smiled even more happily, drank the wine in the glass, and then reached out to pour another glass of wine.

"Eden, no?"

Xi Wang reached out and took the bottle away in advance, while warning with a smile.

"It's already three quarters done."

"Hmm...Okay~"

Eden did not force it. Instead, he put down his wine glass, propped up his face with his hands, and looked at him with his blurry golden eyes.

"Then you still owe me a song before you can get my forgiveness, Xiwang~"

"Prove to me a little bit that you haven't given up on music?"

"Good good..."

Xi Wang nodded helplessly, adjusted his cuffs slightly, moved his fingers, and adjusted his breathing. After confirming that there was no problem, he turned his head and looked out the window.

"Well... this is the perfect time~"

"what?"

"Nothing, I just lamented the rain this morning. Although it slowed down my journey a bit, it also cleansed the sky, allowing the stars to appear at night..."

"That's it~"

Eden smiled knowingly.

"So this is why you were almost late~"

"I'm not late, am I?"

"Yes yes yes~"

"Okay, then... as a response to the previous song."

Xiwang stood up with a smile, and Eden's eyes also raised, following his body movement, watching him bow to him.

"Give this song to the world, to the people who know me, to the stars that are shining at this moment, and to you and me at this moment."

"Well, I'm looking forward to it."

Eden nodded, watched him leave, watched him discuss with the service staff, watched him sit in front of the performance piano, watched him place his slender hands on the black and white keys.

At this moment, everyone in the restaurant subconsciously turned their gazes to look at Xi Wang...

His performance of saluting Eden just now had already aroused everyone's curiosity, and many young people present had already known Eden through the Internet, so they were quite surprised. They looked at Xiwang with a little expectation, turned on the recording, and planned to record Xiwang's performance.

They really wanted to know what kind of music the person who could have dinner with Eden would perform in the end?

Will it be as amazing as Eden, or will it be mediocre, or... terrible?

At the same time, the couple sitting not far from Eden also turned their eyes to Xi Wang who was preparing to play, with a hint of scrutiny in their looks.

But... Xi Wang couldn't sense any of this, or rather, he didn't care.

The fingertips move lightly, pressing the piano keys, allowing the melody to flow like water; the lips and teeth move slightly, and the mouth opens gently, allowing the song to pass like the wind.

Gentle, soft, and mild, like hazy drizzle falling from the sky, like stars twinkling in the clear night.

Immersing his thoughts in the melody, dissolving his emotions in the singing, and expressing everything he wants to say through songs... this is what he and Eden often do.

"........."

At this time, Eden quietly took back the bottle, poured himself some wine, and drank it slowly.

Her vision was blurry, but she didn't care. She just immersed her thoughts in his songs, trying to carefully experience the thoughts and emotions he wanted to convey... This was something she and Xiwang often did.

But in the past, they were far apart and could only rely on communication to do this.

And now, they can do it in front of each other.

Well, it's great to meet you...

Eden narrowed her eyes and drank the last bit of wine in the glass. When she put down the glass, Xiwang's melody happened to stop.

Then, like a replica of Eden’s performance, after a brief silence, thunderous applause rang out.

The originally quiet atmosphere was completely covered, but no one noticed anything wrong. Even the waiter and the supervisor who rushed over after hearing the news were applauding his performance.

Even... the middle-aged couple at the table who were looking at each other with a slightly scrutinizing look, the husband hesitated for a moment and then clapped gently, while the wife smiled and clapped along with others, while rolling her eyes at her husband, seeming a little helpless with his attitude.

Then, Xiwang politely and gracefully bowed to everyone and slowly returned to Eden's side.

But the first thing he said when he sat down was...

"Eden, you drank secretly, didn't you?"

"Hmm? I'm sorry~"

Eden raised his head, put away the terminal that had just sent the message, and spoke in a slightly confused tone.

"But who can blame Xi Wang for her beautiful performance? It would be a wonderful thing to enjoy it with good wine~"

"Ah... you are so disobedient."

Xiwang pinched his eyebrows helplessly.

"If there is a reason, I would at least take care of your health..."

"What's the matter~ Do you want to take over my daily life?"

Eden smiled and asked in a drunken tone...She seemed drunk?

However, her words seemed to be heard by the couple next to her, so much so that they stopped when they were about to leave.

"That kind of thing is not possible right now, at least not with my current status. I'm not your personal doctor."

Xi Wang helplessly called the waiter over and asked them to pack up the wine bottles that still had some wine left.

"I just hope you can pay attention to the situation... Now is not the time to get drunk."

"It's okay~ I'm not drunk yet~"

"Ah yes, yes, that's what drunk people say."

Xi Wang looked at the middle-aged couple who suddenly stopped and then suddenly started moving. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly twice. Finally, he could only get up helplessly and help the slightly drunk Eden up.

"But you should have asked your relatives to pick you up, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to send you away randomly, okay? If not, I'll let you stay here. There's a hotel upstairs for rest."

"Ah... Girls won't like you if you're too quick-witted, Xiwang... But my parents will be here to pick me up soon~ Take me downstairs~"

Eden moved a little closer, but Xi Wang used his fingers to hold his body back, keeping a distance from her to prevent her from getting too close to him.

"...Don't stick to me, the smell of alcohol is a bit strong."

"Hehe~ Is Xiwang angry? Even your tone of voice has changed?"

"Yes, I'm angry, so don't stick to me. If I can find a good excuse, I'll have to scold you."

"That's too much~ He was so nice before, but now he's turned hostile~ That's too much~"

"Because I'm targeting something different...Okay, how long will it take for your parents to arrive?"

"Hmm... over there~ the one with the ■■■■■ license plate~"

"Okay... you take this bottle of wine back with you. After all, I don't drink... Don't drink it after you go back, okay? Have a good rest. I'll send you a message to remind you tomorrow morning. If you don't reply, I'll assume you drank secretly and assume you're hungover."

"Hmm? Then what? What are you going to do?"

"Nothing, I just want to continue posting your songs. It's been a while since I last updated, so I don't mind a little more time."

“That’s really too much…”

The corners of Eden's mouth twitched... and then he walked up to the car, knocked on the passenger window, and looked at the person inside.

"Mom, I'm here~"

"........."

No one responded, only the slight sound of the car lock being unlocked was heard.

Xiwang understood, greeted politely, then opened the back seat, helped Eden sit in, and then put the wrapped bottle of wine in Eden's arms.

"Well, see you next time~"

"Well, see you next time."

After a simple goodbye, Xiwang closed the car door and looked at the time.

"Hmm... just in time, I can almost catch up..."

He turned around and rushed to where he had stored his luggage...he had to catch a flight.

……

…………

"Okay honey, no need to pretend to be drunk anymore."

The woman sitting in the passenger seat turned around and said to Eden with a smile.

"I didn't, Mom."

Eden blinked. Although his eyes were a little drunk, his words were clear, without the sweetness that he had just felt when talking to Xiwang.

“I am indeed drunk~”

"Ah...you kid..."

Eden's mother sighed helplessly.

"Drinking in front of the opposite sex you met for the first time, and pretending to be drunk... I don't know if you are too brave to do such a thing. What if we are not here?"
