The bartender in the bar sensibly came over and, using a pure white napkin, took the bottle back to the counter for continued storage. Only then did Xia Zuo calmly follow Huangfu Huazhang.
By this time Huangfu Huazhang was already at the door, standing in the night light at the entrance, illuminated by the dazzling pink neon lights of the bar's signboard.
Tang Yan Yi watched them both nervously, trying to gauge Huangfu Huazhang's next move while carefully observing Xia Zuo's series of actions. Distracted by both sides, she couldn't focus on the bulky man across from her who was hopelessly trying to make small talk.
