Chapter 223 "I'm an expert at making cocktails!"
She suddenly realized that the monsters she encountered were all those whose thinking was completely different from that of humans, and she had never encountered any monsters like the humanoid sloth.
In fact, even if I hadn't encountered humans, if I had encountered something weird like a humanoid sloth, the past ten years wouldn't have been so hard.
Su Ming beside him was looking at the big screen, rubbing his eyelids gently with his fingers.
This story was so touching that it reminded Su Ming of the movie "Wall-E" he watched when he was a child. He was deeply moved.
This kind of selfless love always moves people. The most touching thing is that the sloth does not care about his own gains and losses, but only cares about whether the person he protects is happy.
"It's really touching." Su Ming said.
Xia Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then agreed: "Yes, it's really touching."
Alas, the past is gone forever, and no matter how much you pray, it cannot be changed, just like going to school you can only pretend to be there; you can’t see a doctor when you have diarrhea, you can only search for solutions yourself; in order to maintain the ability to speak, you have to frequently direct and perform in your own dramas…
So if she hadn't met a good monster, it would have been the same as these things. Now that she had met Su Ming, she would have gained much more than meeting a good monster. Su Ming could even have children with her... She could have a family of her own, which was something she had never thought about in the past ten years.
Xia Xiaoyu stuffed a few handfuls of popcorn into her mouth and drank the last of the Coke. Sad music was already playing on the screen and people around her were leaving one after another. She and Su Ming did not leave immediately. They waited until the end of the movie and the lights in the theater came on before they left the theater.
At this time, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening. Su Ming stood at the door of the cinema and stretched several times. The noise around him pulled his mind back to reality from the movie world.
Su Ming exhaled heavily and said, "Let's go! Let's go back."
"Wait, I know there's a nice quiet bar nearby. Do you want to try it?" Xia Xiaoyu held Su Ming's hand and smiled.
"But I don't drink." Su Ming scratched his head.
"You don't have to drink even if you don't know how to drink. There are non-alcoholic drinks suitable for non-drinkers. Go and try it!" Xia Xiaoyu dragged Su Ming downstairs.
Unable to overcome Xia Xiaoyu's persistence, Su Ming finally came to the bar. This was the first time he had been to a bar since he was a child. Even before he traveled through time, he had never been to such a place.
In Su Ming's impression, places like bars and dance halls belong to adults and should not belong to students.
The bar was very quiet, with a few people sitting here and there, all talking in very low voices. Most of them were young people, dressed appropriately.
Those who can drink here are considered lucky, as they have gotten enough dividends from the Investigation Bureau's ten-year reform, leaping from the slave class to the working class and living the life they have now. However, older people do not have the energy to enjoy the dividends from the ten-year development, so most of the people who were not young enough ten years ago are now living in slums outside the urban area.
The descendants of those people will also live there, and unless urbanization expands rapidly within a few decades, it is likely that those people will have to grow old before they can move into the city.
Alas, all human societies are pyramids. Is this unchangeable?
Su Ming only took a glance at the customers in the bar and thought a lot. He remembered his life before he traveled through time.
Xia Xiaoyu pulled Su Ming to the bar. A young bartender with a unique mustache walked up to Su Ming and wiped the counter with a clean white cloth. He looked up and gave Su Ming a professional smile.
The bartender was stunned when he saw Su Ming and was about to tell him that they did not accept minors.
But soon, his expression turned confused, as if he remembered something.
Then the bartender remembered Su Ming's face, and his smile became genuine.
"Director Su, would you like something?
"Uh... let's have something non-alcoholic, something that people who don't drink alcohol normally can also drink." Su Ming was a little secretly happy. He didn't expect that the other party could actually recognize him.
"Wait a minute, it will be ready soon!"
The bartender started to get tools and drink ingredients. Xia Xiaoyu said to Su Ming, "Wait here for a moment. I'll make you a special drink! I'm a professional at making cocktails!"
Xia Xiaoyu turned over the bar and started to tinker on her own. She did not lie to Su Ming, her cocktail-making skills were indeed very good. Life alone was very boring, so she had learned many boring skills. However, this time, she would add some seasonings to the special brew she made for Su Ming.
Xia Xiaoyu glanced sideways at Su Ming behind her. Su Ming's attention was all focused on the bartender's fancy techniques, and he didn't pay any attention to her at all. So Xia Xiaoyu shook her wrist and pulled out a thumb-sized glass bottle from her sleeve, which contained three small blue pills.
The boss said that only one pill of this thing is enough to keep you high all night long, and you must not take too much, so just one pill is enough.
Xia Xiaoyu unscrewed the lid with the thumb of one hand, crushed the pill and sprinkled it into the wine. The powder dissolved in the wine and disappeared in the brown translucent liquid.
Just as she was about to bring the wine over, she suddenly remembered that Su Ming didn't know how to drink, and maybe he wouldn't finish the glass of wine. What if the medicine didn't work then?
Xia Xiaoyu looked at the other two pills left in the glass bottle in her hand, hesitated for a moment, then crushed the other two pills and put them into the wine.
After doing all this, Xia Xiaoyu smiled, picked up the wine glass, turned around and placed it in front of Su Ming: "Dangdang~Dangdang! Please taste this super wine Xia Xiaoyu specially prepared for you! This glass of wine is named Bacchus, exclusively for Mr. Su!"
"Oh! It looks very good! Xiaoyu, you really know everything!" Su Ming praised generously.
This glass of wine looks quite surprising, and its appearance is even more high-end than the one the bartender is mixing.
The top layer of the wine glass was covered with light white foam, and about a quarter of the entire glass of wine was covered with translucent azure liquid, like the sea, while a few red oval droplets penetrated the sea and fell into the yellow wine... just like a work of art.
Su Ming looked up at Xia Xiaoyu and found that Xia Xiaoyu was a little nervous.
"You seem very nervous." Su Ming said casually.
Xia Xiaoyu was startled, waved her hands and said with a smile: "Haha, no way! Maybe it's the first time for others to taste the wine I mixed, so I'm a little nervous, that's it."
"Don't be nervous, it must taste good." Su Ming said with a smile.
He picked up the glass of "Bacchus" and the moment he put it to his lips, he suddenly felt something was wrong!
Su Ming put the wine glass down again and looked at it carefully. This time the feeling was very strange. There was no doubt that this wine was not an ordinary drink. It was very special, but obviously it was harmless. Su Ming was very clear about this.
"Why... don't you drink?" Xia Xiaoyu asked, her heart beating violently in her chest.
Su Ming's intuition has always been very sharp. Could he have seen through it? No way!
"Did you put anything special in it?" Su Ming asked casually.
At this moment, Su Ming had never expected that Xia Xiaoyu would drug him.
"Of course! I put some...good stuff in there." Xia Xiaoyu's index fingers on both hands circled nervously, trying hard to find a suitable excuse in her heart. At this moment, she felt that Su Ming's intuition was really outrageous.
"What good stuff?"
"It's a secret! Drink it quickly, drink it quickly. Would I harm you? It's a seasoning that can make people energetic!" Xia Xiaoyu urged, bringing the wine to Su Ming's mouth.
Su Ming hesitated for a moment, but still drank it all obediently. Xia Xiaoyu did not lie to him, and Xia Xiaoyu would not harm him, so it didn't matter.
“Ahaha!”
Su Ming first took a sip, then drank it all in one gulp, letting out a sigh of satisfaction.
"It's very good, sweet, a little sour and spicy. What are those oval things? They're soft and sticky." Su Ming asked Xia Xiaoyu about the details of the wine.
"That's syrup. It won't dissolve in a short time if you drop it in. The sweetness and sourness you taste is due to it." Xia Xiaoyu was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Su Ming, who had never drunk alcohol, would actually drink that glass of wine in one gulp.
But it’s okay to drink it all, the effect will definitely be there, and then you just need to wait for time.
Xia Xiaoyu took out his cell phone and glanced at the time, calculating silently in his mind, thinking that he should let him drink a few more glasses of strong liquor to give him courage, and then he could move to another position.
Although it is possible not to move the position, I still want to fight in a suitable place for the first time.
"Sir, you are a good drinker! Let me mix you a few more drinks!"
Xia Xiaoyu complimented Su Ming in the tone of a bartender and immediately started to mix the second glass of wine for Su Ming. This time she did not do it secretly. She showed her amazing juggling skills in front of Su Ming.
Su Ming actually didn't plan to drink too much, but Xia Xiaoyu's wine was indeed delicious and looked very exquisite. In addition, he felt a little dry in the mouth after drinking, so he had a few more glasses.
Perhaps because his body had been transformed by potential points and had a particularly strong ability to digest alcohol, Su Ming did not feel that he was drunk, but the alcohol still left some traces on his body.
Su Ming found it difficult to describe this feeling. He felt dry mouth and hot skin, and he felt like a warm fire was burning quietly in his lungs.
He drank another glass of wine, and he smelled a very pleasant smell, a bit like the scent of flowers. It was gentler than the scent of flowers when it entered the nose, but then it would hit the brain violently, giving people a shock.
This fragrance is very special, making people want to inhale . Su Ming took a deep breath and looked at the wine glass in front of him. He knew that the source of the floral fragrance was not the remaining wine at the bottom of the glass, but from the person who mixed the wine in front of him. Su Ming looked up at Xia Xiaoyu, and she was also looking at him with a little curiosity and expectation in her eyes.
Su Ming couldn't figure out whether the refreshing fragrance came from Xia Xiaoyu's perfume or from her herself. If possible, he wanted to get closer to smell it more clearly.
Xia Xiaoyu lifted one foot and jumped over from behind the bar as if she was jumping over a hurdle. She picked up the storage box No. 7 at her feet, put her arm around his and pulled him out of the store.
"Let's go, let's go!"
