Chapter 120 Drunk Mantra
Chapter 120 Drunk Mantra
Deep in an alley in Kyoto, an old-fashioned television set on a wooden windowsill emits a faint glow. This is a quiet bar, from which soft, melodious singing drifts out. The resident singer doesn't make any unnecessary movements; he simply sits quietly, holding a wooden guitar, and sings.
Perhaps because the location is too remote, there weren't many customers, and it was very quiet.
"I never knew Kyoto had a place like this," Mo Yuan remarked, then asked, "I wonder what trouble my face caused you today?"
"Of course, some people see me as a rival in love."
Mo Yuan swirled his wine glass. "That Miss Zhou?"
“That’s right.” He Suye nodded, then said, “But this matter is not important; it’s in the past. Why did you suddenly come to see me tonight?”
Mo Yuan paused for a moment, then uttered only two simple words: "Passing by."
He Suye raised an eyebrow: "Huh?"
Standing beside him, Fifteen immediately said, "Miss He, we were originally going to the Sanshui Villa, but on the way we heard that the newly appointed District Chief Zhang was at the Zhou family's house, so the young master came to meet him. During our chat, District Chief Zhang mentioned the events at today's banquet, which is why the young master came in to see you."
In that case, using "passing by" to explain it is indeed correct.
He Suye smiled and said, "I thought you came to wish Miss Zhou a happy birthday."
Mo Yuan seemed too lazy to even mention Zhou Shuhui, skipping over the question and saying, "Your performance today surprised me again. It was clearly a dead end, how did you manage to turn the tables?"
Mo Yuan only knew that the bracelet and Ye Linlang had appeared today, but when he heard He Suye say something about "femme fatale", he realized that this scheme was originally set up by He Suye, but she made a comeback and made Ye Linlang lose face.
He Suye composed herself and said, "Because I don't trust anyone, I take every step very carefully. I become extremely vigilant at the slightest suspicious thing, and today is no exception."
Unlike Ye Linlang, who had Zhou Shuhui to defend him, she only had herself. If she wasn't careful, death was the only thing waiting for her. So she walked on thin ice every second and wouldn't give anyone a chance to take advantage of her.
Mo Yuan glanced at her and suddenly asked, "You don't trust anyone, does that include me?"
He Suye didn't know why Mo Yuan suddenly asked this question. She smiled calmly and said, "Of course I trust Young Master Mo, otherwise why would I cooperate with you?"
"is it?"
"Of course!"
Mo Yuan slammed his wine glass on the table, his deep eyes fixed on her. "Then explain yourself. What deep-seated grudge do you have against Jiang Yichuan? And why do you know him so well, even better than I do, when you're complete strangers to him?"
He Suye's expression remained unchanged. "I'm sorry, I can't tell you about such a private matter."
"Okay, let's pretend this is a private matter that you can't discuss. Then let me ask you a different question. Tell me, why did you know all along that the Senlei Hotel would catch fire?"
He Suye was taken aback, but her expression remained calm. "What are you talking about, Young Master Mo? I'm not a prophet, how could I have known beforehand that the hotel would catch fire?"
Mo Yuan gave her a deep look. "If I remember correctly, you asked to change into low-heeled shoes before the banquet that day. If you didn't know something was going to happen at the hotel, why would you change your shoes in advance?"
He Suye remained calm and said, "That's because I'm not used to wearing high heels."
"Oh?" Mo Yuan's gaze slowly moved down, finally landing under the table. He asked with a half-smile, "Why do I think Miss He looks so smart in those high heels today?"
He Suye's hand clenched involuntarily. After a moment, she smiled faintly, "Because after that day, I intentionally started practicing walking in high heels. Today, I've finally gotten a little more comfortable with them."
"Miss He, you have a really good ability to adapt. You've been able to walk in high heels so well in just a few days."
Mo Yuan's eyes were dark and unfathomable, but a closer look revealed a deep meaning in them.
He Suye felt a chill run down her spine. Was cooperating with such a person the right choice?
Neither of them spoke for a moment, leaving only Fifteen puzzled: What were these two talking about?
Under the dim red stage lights, the singer was singing: "If one day you could choose to start your life over or continue it..."
He Suye's heart skipped a beat, but she smiled and said, "Not just high heels, I learn everything very quickly."
Does this include driving?
Mo Yuan brought up again the day she drove a pickup truck to escape from the mountain village with Mo Lingxue. It was indeed unbelievable that a high school girl could drive a pickup truck, especially on a mountain road.
He Suye's expression gradually faded. "Young Master Mo, what exactly do you mean by these words? You don't suspect that I was sent by Jiang Yichuan, do you?"
"I don't doubt you, I just want to give myself a reason to trust you." Mo Yuan said frankly, "I am willing to believe you in my heart, but I don't know why I should trust you. I hope you can give me this reason."
At this moment, He Suye suddenly understood why Mo Yuan had told her all this. It wasn't that he didn't trust her, but rather that he needed to reaffirm his trust. However, for someone who had died once and been reborn ten years in the past, such words would sound like utter nonsense to anyone.
He Suye was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "I will give you enough sincerity to give you a reason to trust me."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your sincerity."
Mo Yuan raised his cup, and He Suye also picked up her cup, the two clinking it together across the distance.
The resident singer started singing "If one day you could choose to start your life over or continue," and He Suye's face remained expressionless as she simply downed the wine in her glass.
Half an hour later.
"Mo Yuan, I... I really think you're a heartless person! I kindly helped you deal with Jiang Yichuan, and you still doubt me! You're not even human!"
Mo Yuan supported He Suye, who was swaying but still didn't forget to scold him, his expression more complicated than ever before.
Fifteen, who had just finished paying the bill, heard the cursing and felt a pang of sympathy for He Suye. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Young Master, let me help Miss He."
Mo Yuan lowered his eyes and glanced at He Suye, whose cheeks were flushed, and said, "No need, go and drive the car in."
Fifteen hesitated for a moment, "The alley is a bit narrow, and it's easy for a car to scrape against something and scratch the paint when it drives in."
He Suye hiccuped and tugged at Mo Yuan's sleeve.
"Mo Yuan, I'm telling you, if you keep doing this, I'm not going to be friends with you anymore! I'm not playing with you anymore... um..."
Mo Yuan turned to look at Fifteen, "Aren't you going yet? If she throws up on me, you'd better watch out!"
"I'll go right away!" Fifteen immediately ran off.
After the fifteenth day of the month left, only the two of them remained waiting at the bar entrance, one swaying unsteadily, the other with a clear expression.
They say people speak the truth when they're drunk. Looking at He Suye's face so close to his, Mo Yuan asked expressionlessly, "He Suye, do you really have no feelings for me?"
