House Dad's Literary Life

Chapter 350: Its Not Like I Have Conans Constitution

What is Sun Wukong? Why can big brother turn into it?

Yang Huan was confused.

“It’s just taking care of a child, it’s easy!” Yang Huan, at this moment, felt her face turning red as she recalled her confident boast she had made to her big brother earlier.

She had never really taken care of a child alone, and she didn’t know that playing with a child was not an easy task at all.

Xixi was still well-behaved, and she was still trying hard to think of something that her little aunt could do. If the little girl casually said, “Oh, why don’t you know anything?”, Yang Huan would probably feel so ashamed that he would want to crawl into a crack in the ground.

Leaving aside Xixi for now, Yang Yi was already in the bar, meeting with Guo Ziyi and the others.

The most excited person in this group today was not Guo Ziyi, but Wang Chao!

This guy, very boldly, wore a red headband on his forehead, making his hair stand up. Whether it was cool or not remained uncertain, but it fit the vibe of the environment very well.

He wasn’t usually like this. Normally, he was just a follower of Du Yuanlei. Was he here at the bar today to have fun and let himself go?

Yang Yi didn’t care. He found a slightly quieter booth that could seat seven or eight people, greeted everyone to sit down, then took the drink menu handed over by the bartender and handed it to them.

“What do you want to drink? Just order it.” Yang Yi smiled slightly and said.

“I want this one, it’s got the vibes!”¹ Wang Chao leaned over, looking with Guo Zi Yi, pointed at one of the drinks, and exclaimed.

“Wow, it looks like blood. It’s called Bloody Mary. Do you dare to drink this?” A guy next to him exclaimed.

“Zhu Liyang, don’t underestimate me, okay? It’s not real blood. What’s there to be afraid of?” Wang Chao straightened his chest.

Zhu Liyang was a lighting engineer in the crew, and he was also a student in the photography department.

“Bloody Mary, this one might be a bit spicy. Can you handle it?” Yang Yi kindly reminded.

“I’m not afraid of spicy food, Big Brother Yang. My hometown is in Sichuan Province, so I’m used to eating spicy food!”

“Alright then, give him a Bloody Mary. I’ll have a Mojito.” Yang Yi adeptly nodded at the bartender.

“Brother Yang, I, I’ll have a Bloody Mary too!” Zhu Liyang said, “I also want to give it a try.”

“Why are you choosing the same as me!” Wang Chao started to argue with him.

On the other side, Guo Ziyi was also discussing with Ding Xiang what to drink. Neither of them had experience ordering at a bar. Even Ding Xiang, who has worked at the bar for a while, hadn’t paid attention to what drinks the customers usually ordered. The options on the drink menu were still quite new to them.

“So expensive?” Ding Xiang looked at the prices on it and couldn’t help but be a bit taken aback.

Cocktails started at 50 yuan each and were only served in small glasses. Even plain water was priced at more than 30 yuan per glass. Ding Xiang looked at the drink menu and felt quite overwhelmed.

“Maybe I won’t drink anymore. I’ll just sit here.” Ding Xiang whispered to Guo Ziyi.

“You don’t want to drink? It’s okay. There are non-alcoholic drinks here.” Guo Ziyi misunderstood her meaning. He flipped to the back of the menu and pointed at the mixed fruit juice drinks and said.

“Yeah, it’s better for girls to drink less in a bar.” Yang Yi smiled and said to another girl, “Long Ni, what do you want to drink?”

Long Ni was a makeup artist in the crew, but she wasn’t a student of Jiangcheng Media, just a friend of Du Yuanlei. She ordered a bottle of low-alcohol dark beer.

In the end, Guo Ziyi ordered a Margarita that looked pretty good for himself and a non-alcoholic drink called Sunrise for Ding Xiang. It was made with orange juice, lemon juice, and pomegranate juice, creating a color gradient from yellow to red, resembling the appearance of a sunrise.

Ding Xiang’s fruit juice also costs 50 yuan. She wanted to change it to the cheapest clear water, but Guo Ziyi saw through her intention and did not agree.

The drinks arrived quickly, followed by some fruit platters, and snacks like French fries. Yang Yi specifically ordered these for these bar novices. Drinking alcohol alone might leave them lying down on their way back later.

“Whoa! It really is Bloody Mary! It looks just like blood.” After Wang Chao and Zhu Liyang’s drinks came up, Zhu Liyang held the small octagonal glass and couldn’t help but smack his tongue as he looked at the thick liquid inside.

“Zhu Liyang, since you ordered it, you wouldn’t dare not to drink, would you?” Wang Chao deliberately stimulated him.

“How could I dare not to drink? I’m afraid you wouldn’t dare to drink!” Zhu Liyang was not convinced.

Wang Chao raised an eyebrow, picked up his Bloody Mary, and took a sip. In fact, that drink was only about two or three small sips’ worth, and after just one sip, Wang Chao had already consumed half of it. He furrowed his brow slightly but swallowed it down.

“It’s your turn!” Wang Chao pointed at Zhu Liyang.

In fact, cocktails are not drunk like this. Yang Yi found it funny, but he didn’t interfere. He just watched them with interest.

Zhu Liyang was not convinced. He also picked up his glass and took a big gulp with great spirit. In an instant, the glass was almost empty.

“Cough, cough!” Zhu Liyang was immediately choked by the taste and spiciness of the drink. He turned his head and coughed violently.

Especially the spiciness, it was really choking and uncomfortable. Zhu Liyang coughed so hard that tears welled up in his eyes.

Fortunately, Yang Yi saw that the situation wasn’t good and had someone bring a glass of water for him to drink a few sips. It was only then that Zhu Liyang finally recovered.

“Is it that hard to drink?” Guo Ziyi and Ding Xiang were both stunned.

“It’s not hard to drink, it’s just a bit spicy. Who made him drink so fast?” Wang Chao turned his head to look at Guo Ziyi, his face lit up, and he said gloating.

“Who said it’s not? It’s so spicy! Did they put chili sauce in this?” Zhu Liyang’s face was now red and he felt like he was about to catch fire. He couldn’t help but complain.

“Bloody Mary, there is chili oil in it, but not chili sauce. The thick one is tomato juice.” Yang Yi smiled and said, “Just drink it slowly, you’ll be fine. Would you like another glass?”

“No, no, I want to drink something normal.” Zhu Liyang made a fool of himself and had a psychological shadow on this drink.

“Is your drink also fruit juice? It looks really nice.” Ding Xiang asked Guo Ziyi curiously.

Margarita is yellow and looks like orange juice. The most beautiful thing is the circle of snowflakes around the rim of the cup, which is actually salt.

“No, it’s made with tequila and lime juice and something else. I don’t remember very well. Would you like to give it a try?” Guo Ziyi pushed his drink towards Ding Xiang.

Ding Xiang was drinking her gradient fruit juice. She protected her fruit juice and avoided it. She said, with a smile in her eyes, “I don’t want to. Yours is so expensive! It’s over 60 yuan for just that small amount, not even half of what I have!”

It was their first time drinking at a bar, and they were all quite excited. Of course, one glass was definitely not enough. After finishing their initial order, they would order some other drinks to taste.

Yang Yi, on the other hand, didn’t drink excessively. He sat on the side like a bystander, smiling at them, then slowly sipped his Mojito, quietly savoring the sharp contrast between the strong taste of rum and the fresh taste of mint.

Of course, the quality of the drink was average. After all, it was a civilian bar. Compared with the high-end bars that Yang Yi went to in his previous life, the rum used wasn’t authentic. But Yang Yi was not as interested in alcohol as coffee, so it didn’t matter whether it was authentic or not.

Moreover, Yang Yi has long lost the rough and wild vigor he had in his previous life when he used to wear a mask and mess around in bars. He preferred to sit in a booth, slowly drinking while quietly listening to music.

“So, this is what a bar looks like.” Zhu Liyang sighed, bringing Yang Yi back to his senses. “I thought bars were messy and everyone was shaking their heads and dancing there with music so loud that you couldn’t hear what people were saying.”

“What you’re talking about is a nightclub! We’re in a lounge bar.” Wang Chao said.

“It’s not exactly a lounge bar. There are places to dance here. To be accurate, it’s called slow beat bar.” Yang Yi corrected with a smile, “But it’s still different from a nightclub. The sound won’t be too noisy here, even on the dance floor.”

“Yes, usually after nine o’clock or so, more people start dancing.” Ding Xiang used to work here before, she had the most say.

“You can go and have some fun too, don’t just focus on drinking. Despite seeming sober now, cocktails can suddenly hit you.” Yang Yi encouraged,” By the way, we’ll only stay until nine o’clock at most, then I’ll send you back to school. Any later and your dorms will be closed.”

“I’m going!” Wang Chao said excitedly. Today he came here to let go of himself.

“Will it be okay? I feel a bit uneasy about dancing in a bar.” Zhu Liyang said worriedly.

“Come on, Big Brother Yang, let’s go have fun together. Don’t worry, even if something happens, we have Big Brother Yang here. What’s there to be afraid of?” Guo Ziyi was very calm and stood up and urged, “Brother Yang can take on ten by himself!”

“Nonsense!” Yang Yi said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, “If you want to have fun, just go. Don’t listen to Guo Ziyi’s nonsense. As long as you guys are careful, what can happen?”

And he didn’t have Conan’s constitution.²
