Dai Shiyuan was too engrossed playing with her phone in her room, which resulted in her having less time to prepare. She hurriedly changed into a set of clothes and left the house.
Seeing that she was wearing the blue skirt, Shan Yaxin smiled with satisfaction.
When she arrived at the bar, Dai Shiyuan immediately went to change her clothes and coincidentally ran into Qiuqiu coming back from the front desk.
"Xiao Dai, it's been a few days, and you're getting more and more beautiful. Is that blue dress your Teacher Shan's gift?" Qiuqiu gave a flirtatious look and a mischievous smile.
Dai Shiyuan glanced at her sideways and didn't want to pay attention to her.
Looking down, she realized that she was wearing the set of clothes Shan Yaxin gave her last time.
She was in such a hurry when she left that she didn't even look carefully, which made Qiuqiu tease her again.
After changing into the bar uniform, Dai Shiyuan carefully folded the clothes and put them in her locker.
"Xiao Dai, you're really precious this time. Don't you usually just stuff your clothes in the locker?" Qiuqiu continued to tease while covering her mouth.
"These clothes are expensive, so of course, I have to cherish them a little." Dai Shiyuan explained irritably, her face slightly blushing.
Qiuqiu understood immediately and smiled knowingly. "Teacher Shan is really generous. She must care a lot about Xiao Dai to give such an expensive gift."
Dai Shiyuan's heart skipped a beat and she shrugged, not wanting to argue anymore. She packed her things and went to the front hall.
There were many customers drinking today, and Dai Shiyuan was busy running around, serving drinks to one table and finally finding an opportunity to go to the backstage to drink water.
As soon as she left, a figure in a blue dress appeared at the door.
Qiuqiu looked up and saw this scene, immediately walking over with a coquettish smile. "Ms. Shan, long time no see. We all miss you and hope that such a great beauty like you can come every day."
Shan Yaxin politely smiled and looked around. Not seeing Dai Shiyuan, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Xiao Dai went to the backstage. She'll be out soon. You can sit here for a while." Qiuqiu cleverly arranged Shan Yaxin in a prominent position.
With such a cool temperament and a perfect figure, this great beauty can attract more customers.
Dai Shiyuan rested for a while and just as she came out, she saw Shan Yaxin in the crowd.
With one hand supporting her cheek, her already fair skin was glowing like a translucent pearl under the lights. Her clear and bright eyes contained a hint of a smile, making her look more intoxicating than the sweetest wine.
There were already some people around, admiring Shan Yaxin, but no one had gone over to talk to her yet.
Dai Shiyuan felt a surge of discomfort in her heart and hurriedly walked over to Shan Yaxin's table, frowning and whispering, "Sister Yaxin, why are you here?"
"I came to sit with you and go home together after work." Shan Yaxin answered with a light laugh. She deliberately picked up the bottle of liquor and shook it, saying with a bit of pride, "I ordered a low-purity liquor, so you don't have to worry about me getting drunk."
'I'm not worried about that...' Dai Shiyuan's frown deepened, but as soon as the words came out, she felt something was off and quickly pressed her lips together, her expression becoming serious.
Seeing her reaction, Shan Yaxin felt a hint of sweetness in her heart. She put down the bottle and earnestly assured, '"I'll only have a little bit. I won't go overboard. I still have to drive later.'"
"It's not about whether or not you drink..." Dai Shiyuan's expression became conflicted as she lowered her head and reminded Shan Yaxin in a soft voice, 'This is a lesbian bar, and the people around you are all into women."
"I know." Shan Yaxin nodded with a light laugh, her bright eyes showing a hint of innocence.
Dai Shiyuan suddenly choked up, her small face wrinkling up in anger. After pausing for a moment, she said coldly, "Then drink less."
"Okay." Shan Yaxin narrowed her eyes, looking satisfied.
She suddenly understood why other people liked teasing Dai Shiyuan.
This cute and serious person was really irresistible to tease.
Although Dai Shiyuan was angry and uncomfortable with Shan Yaxin's flirtatious behavior, her smile still looked forced and insincere.
Fortunately, the customers didn't notice anything and there were no complaints.
Despite being busy, Dai Shiyuan couldn't help but constantly glance over in Shan Yaxin's direction.
If anyone came close to their table, Dai Shiyuan would get nervous, afraid that Shan Yaxin would be lured away by someone.
Her constant distraction caused her service quality to decline, and Qiuqiu noticed.
She walked over and smiled, saying, "Xiao Dai, I think you should rest in the back for a bit. You haven't worked in a few days, and it seems like you're not used to it."
Dai Shiyuan pursed her lips and didn't say anything, wanting to continue working. In the end, she went to the back at Qiuqiu's insistence.
She sat and rested for a while, but the irritation in her heart didn't dissipate.
Quiqui came in and saw Dai Shiyuan lost in thought, looking up at the ceiling. She chuckled and teased, "Are you still thinking about your Teacher Shan?"
"Is she still sitting over there?" Dai Shiyuan asked almost at the same time.
"She's still there, and no one's hitting on her." Quiqui waved her hand and sat down, staring at Dai Shiyuan for several seconds before asking seriously, "Do you think your Teacher Shan is easy to deceive?"
"I ..." Dai Shiyuan lowered her eyes, unable to answer.
"You seem to be worried and confused, and don't want anyone else to have feelings for your Teacher Shan." Qiuqiu smiled and spoke with an ambiguous tone.
"That's not it..." Dai Shiyuan instinctively refuted, but her heart rate uncontrollably accelerated. She thought for a moment and explained seriously, "She's not from this circle, and it's dangerous for her to stay here. Isn't it normal for me to worry about her?"
"It's quite normal, especially since you're both wearing couple outfits today." Qiuqiu nodded in agreement, looking quite casual.
Although Qiuqiu seemed to be convinced, Dai Shiyuan still had a feeling of being unable to explain herself. She gritted her teeth and retorted, "That's a best friend outfit, not a couple outfit."
"Okay, okay, it's a best friend outfit." Qiuqiu pacified her with a smile, but she wasn't sincere.
"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to work." Dai Shiyuan was so angry that her face swelled up, and she strode out.
In the corridor, she passed by Cheng Beibei.
Cheng Beibei went backstage and saw Qiuqiu sitting there alone and smiling. She walked over and asked, "Did you tease Xiao Dai again?"
She used an affirmative tone, and Qiuqiu immediately stood up and nodded with a gossipy expression, "Xiao Dai is being hypocritical. She obviously cares about her Teacher Shan, but insists on saying she's just a best friend."
When Cheng Beibei heard the name Shan Yaxin, her interest was immediately piqued. She leaned against the sink and asked with a smile, "Do you think Shan Yaxin is a lesbian?"
"Definitely. Only Xiao Dai is too naive and keeps emphasizing that her Teacher Shan is not from this circle." Qiuqiu's excited eyes shone as she spoke rapidly, "If not, why would she, a single woman, always come to our bar to drink and relax? If she really wanted to drink, she could go to other bars, but she chose this one, so there must be a problem."
After listening, Cheng Beibei showed a pensive expression.
In the last conversation between Zuo Fan and Shan Yaxin, no matter how she threatened and begged, Zuo Fan never revealed any information about their conversation. She always seemed to be protecting Shan Yaxin.
If Shan Yaxin was also a lesbian, her situation would be even more dangerous.
"I feel like the Teacher Shan is probably interested in Xiao Dai. She always looks at Xiao Dai with her cold eyes and never looks at me." Qiuqiu complained with a pitiful expression, but it didn't affect her gossip desires in the slightest.
"She likes Xiao Dai?" Cheng Beibei was surprised and somewhat incredulous. She looked at Qiuqiu with sharp eyes and asked, "Are you sure?"
"I..." Qiuqiu was a little scared, and the excitement on her face disappeared. She thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively, "I have a gut feeling."
"Well, that's good." Cheng Beibei smiled slyly, showing a proud expression.
As long as Shan Yaxin didn't compete with her for Zuo Fan, she could help out a little.
Dai Shiyuan arrived at the front hall and didn't see Shan Yaxin at first glance. She panicked and quickly asked a nearby colleague.
"It seems that a woman came over and invited her for a drink. They're still talking over there," the colleague said, looking over and not seeing Shan Yaxin's figure. She continued with suspicion, "She was just here."
"Okay, thanks. I have something to do and need to go out for a bit," Dai Shiyuan said, and quickly ran towards the back door.
Women in bars usually take people to the back door, where it's secluded, quiet, and the streetlights are dim, often used for flirting.
It only took a dozen seconds to run to the back door. Dai Shiyuan's heart was pounding like it was in her throat. She regretted not staying with Shan Yaxin. If she had, the woman wouldn't have taken Shan Yaxin away.
If anything happened to Shan Yaxin here, she would never be at peace for the rest of her life. Shan Yaxin was more than just a character in a book to her; she was a friend who had become a part of her life.
If it were someone else, she might be able to remain a bystander, but for Shan Yaxin, she couldn't ignore it. She didn't even care about imagining the consequences if something happened to Shan Yaxin.
When she arrived at the back door, Dai Shiyuan's eyes had unknowingly turned red.
"Sister Yaxin..." looking at the two people in the dark, Dai Shiyuan anxiously called out.
She quickly ran over and realized that it wasn't them at all.
"Isn't this employee from the bar? She's not working properly during work hours and is out here causing trouble for others?" one of the women scolded unhappily, but her actions didn't stop.
Dai Shiyuan, under the dim light, saw the posture of the two people clearly and suddenly felt embarrassed, looking away and apologizing softly, "Sorry to disturb you."
The woman snorted coldly and accepted the apology.
Dai Shiyuan hurriedly ran forward along the road, not daring to stop even if she sprained her foot.
Under the dim light, her little face was tightly clenched, her white teeth biting her red lips, as if she was about to bite blood.
This road was actually not long. Normally, Dai Shiyuan would only take one or two minutes to get to the street.
However, at this moment, she felt extremely long, every step was very difficult.
"Sister Yaxin..." Dai Shiyuan ran and called out, looking around.
Her voice was hoarse and had a crying tone.
However, she still hadn't seen Shan Yaxin's figure along the way.
Dai Shiyuan's anxiety gradually turned into fear. She ran hot in the cold wind, but her body was filled with chills from the inside out.
Even though her feet were so sore she couldn't lift them, Dai Shiyuan didn't dare to stop.
At the last few meters away from the road, Dai Shiyuan finally saw the familiar figure in the dim light.
