My Real-life Dating Sim Game - Chapter 74

Upon hearing Tan Xinya’s question, both Zhao Yang and Lai Jiayi froze on the spot. They subconsciously looked at each other.

‘Sh*t. Why did Tan Xinya suddenly ask Zhao Yang like that?! Now, this is awkward. What will Zhao Yang say??’

At this moment, Zhao Yang didn’t speak. He just stared at Lai Jiayi before turning his head around.

“Acquaintance, ” the man answered shortly. He didn’t have any intention to answer more than that.

Lai Jiayi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The girl just nodded. “Nice to meet you, mmmm lady barmaid?” Lai Jiayi tilted her head and laughed innocently.

“I work as a part-time teacher at a daycare…and boss’s nephew is also there.”

The girl acted as if this was the first time they met even though they had met each other at the supermarket back then.

“Oh, yes, nice to meet you.” Tan Xinya’s shoulders trembled as she spoke in a suppressed tone. The woman had a smile on her face, yet it looked so dark that one couldn’t call it a smile.

“I am the barmaid here. I often make a drink for Mr. Zhao.” Tan Xinya continued. The woman looked at Lai Jiayi, with her eyes forming a straight line.

‘Ha. You are only his acquaintance. Don’t be so cocky. So what if you are a part-time daycare teacher?’ That was written on the woman’s face.

Lai Jiayi tugged the corner of her lips and smiled. “Lady barmaid, you are so cool! But…I just know my boss likes to drink here.” The girl glanced at Zhao Yang on purpose.

The girl then just kept a smile on her face, acting oblivious.

Zhao Yang noticed Lai Jiayi’s eyes on him. The guy suddenly felt like he did something bad by bringing the girl with him to the bar.

‘She isn’t even my friend. Why should I accompany her to drink?’

Zhao Yang touched his forehead and sighed. He shook his head while frowning.

‘Still, why do I feel guilty that now she knows I often go to this bar? Isn’t this normal– ‘

Zhao Yang was still deep in thought when Lai Jiayi’s voice suddenly sounded.

“Lady barmaid, do you know what drink is good for me?” Lai Jiayi leaned forward and grinned. The girl raised her left eyebrow. “I want to try drinking the drink you made!”

Lai Jiayi’s cheerful remarks sounded natural, but Tan Xinya almost exploded. The woman clenched her fists under the counter table and gritted her teeth.

‘This girl– why is she acting all friendly with me? Judging from her look, she is trying to stay here until Zhao Yang goes out! Then…how do I make this guy cry?’

Tan Xinya lowered her head and controlled her emotion. She didn’t look at Zhao Yang for the time being and just answered Lai Jiayi,

“Little girl, is this your first time drinking?” Tan Xinya laughed sweetly, but she emphasized the word ‘little girl’ on purpose. The woman looked at Lai Jiayi and treated her as if she was a kid.

Lai Jiayi shrugged it off. She propped her chin on her right hand and tilted her head. “I think it’s not my first time…the first time I drink…hmm, I drink that sunset cocktail…”

Lai Jiayi paused. She suddenly looked at Zhao Yang, who was doing nothing all this time. “B-boss, that drink I drank at the fancy restaurant…w-what is the name?”

Lai Jiayi’s sudden question startled both Zhao Yang and Tan Xinya. The man was bewildered that Lai Jiayi initiated to talk to him, while Tan Xinya was stupefied.

‘What? Drink? Fancy restaurant? What is this!!’

Tan Xinya unconsciously clawed her thigh. She looked at Zhao Yang, waiting for his answers.

Zhao Yang paused a bit before nodding his head. “The name is Sunset cocktail.”

‘That drink makes you drunk until you dare to feed me.’

Zhao Yang thought but didn’t say this out loud. He just calmly answered.

“Yes, yes, sunset cocktail! Lady barmaid, do you have that here? The cocktail looks like a sunset, and then it’s sweet, sour…” Lai Jiayi blabbered nonsense. The girl then silently smirked.

“It also has a low alcohol content!”

Tan Xinya flinched at Lai Jiayi’s words. She subconsciously furrowed her eyebrows.

‘What is this girl saying? Does she want to show off how close she is to Zhao Yang by mentioning the drink she drank with this guy?’

The woman glanced at Zhao Yang and saw the man didn’t say anything and just looked down at the counter. Usually, he would immediately order a drink. But today, he hadn’t done so at all.

If this kept happening, there’s no way she could tamper with the man’s drink, and that means her plan would fail.

Tan Xinya looked back at Lai Jiayi with dark eyes. Her body trembled a bit.

‘So this is what you want to do, huh. You want to keep mentioning the time you spend with Zhao Yang to distract him from ordering a drink?!’

Tan Xinya raised her hand and patted Verco’s head out of the blue. The woman then smiled sweetly like a professional barmaid.

‘Dream on! Sooner or later, I’ll make Zhao Yang order something.’

“Ah, sunset cocktail. We have them here too. So, miss, is your order the Sunset cocktail?” Tan Xinya asked Lai Jiayi with a warm tone.

The girl couldn’t help but shudder.

‘I have purposely provoked this woman by mentioning the things I did with Zhao Yang, but she still can smile? Ha. So dangerous.’

Lai Jiayi nodded. “Yes, I’ll order that one!”

‘As long as Zhao Yang doesn’t order anything for now– ”

“Alright, then…what about you, Mr. Zhao?”
