Chapter 351 Heartbroken?
Dazed, Yuliana stared at the red stud on the young man’s ear. When she returned to her senses, the man had put a mask made of feathers in her hand and said, “Today is the fifth-anniversary celebration of our bar. There is a discount for going in. On top of that, our bar has also prepared special events. We guarantee that you will not be disappointed.” The young man diligently explained and promoted the bar to Yuliana.
Yuliana looked at the feathered mask in her hand and was taken aback. She asked, “Do we have to wear this going in?”
The man smiled and answered, “Yes. Every customer who comes to the store today will be given a mask. There will be some events in the bar later, and the mask is for those events.”
Yuliana cheerfully put on the mask and entered the bar.
It was not yet nine o’clock in the evening, so there were not many people in the bar. That made the bar look a little deserted. The music playing in the bar was also soothing, and the waiters in there served wine to the customers in each interspersed seat.
Some of the customers in the bar wore the masks given by the bar, and some did not. The latter group casually put their masks beside them.
Yuliana chose a seat in a corner seat and ordered a cocktail.
A man wearing a white fox mask approached her not long after she had sat down. The blonde man was wearing a white monogrammed T-shirt and was sporting several tattoos of peculiar designs on his arm.
“Hello, beautiful lady. You’re here alone?”
He sat down directly next to Yuliana and rested his arm on the back of her chair.
Yuliana looked into his eyes, and the corners of her lips lifted up into a smile. “Yes.”
“Do you want to go over there and have fun with me?” The man glanced at the seat not far away, where several young men and women in trendy clothing were sitting. Upon seeing Yuliana look over, they smiled and raised their glasses in greeting.
Yuliana said, “No. I just want to sit alone for a while.”
The man raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Did you get your heart broken?”
Yuliana just smiled and said nothing in reply.
The man did not give up. He leaned even closer to Yuliana, and his breath brushed her cheek. “You won’t get a new man if you’re still hung up on your previous one. There are so many men in the world. Why bother being so sad for that one man? How about you look at me…” The man paused before continuing in a low voice, “I promise I won’t be worse than your ex-boyfriend!”
Yuliana really turned her head around this time and stared at the man beside her suspiciously. She examined him from his blonde hair to his straight nose and thin lips before finally setting her gaze on his deep eyes.
She raised her hand, gently brushed her fingers across those eyes, and said, “Your eyes are very beautiful.”
“My friends say the same thing. The man said proudly. “The color of my eyes is a little light. They will look quite gray in the sunlight. Everyone who meets me for the first time thinks I’m wearing cosmetic contact lenses. Please, I got this pair of eyes from my mother, okay?”
Although the man only showed half of his face, he should be young, judging by his words and deeds.
She asked, “Are you still studying?”
The man froze for a moment before asking, “Is it obvious?”
Yuliana did not confirm nor deny. Instead, she asked, “How old are you?”
“I’m a junior year student.”
“So, 21 years old?”
The man hummed in answer. “How old are you?”
“He’s 21 years old? That’s really young!” Yuliana exclaimed inwardly.
Yuliana did not tell the younger man her age, but she still had a casual conversation with him.
She had never thought that she would chat with a junior-year boy in a bar.
The activities the bar had planned were about to start.
The young man’s friend also called him over. He hurriedly took out his mobile phone, clicked on WhatsApp. and said, “Miss, let’s exchange our phone numbers. We can arrange a meet-up sometime later.”
“Okay!”
Yuliana took out her phone and clicked on the screen. Then, she found that there were several missed calls.
She froze for a while before ignoring the missed calls and adding the younger man’s phone number on WhatsApp.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
At that time, the atmosphere in the bar was gradually heating up. On the stage, the emcee was explaining the rules of the evening’s activities while young men and women cheered enthusiastically.
Yuliana sat in her seat and did not listen carefully to the emcee. Her previous two glasses of wine were not strong, but their aftereffects were quite potent. Yuliana was a bit tipsy at the moment.
The music playing in the bar also hurt her ears and left her feeling dizzy.
She got up and planned to leave,
However, there were too many people in the bar. It was a little difficult to walk through them, and the throngs of people made her feel woozy.
Suddenly, the lights went out, and the entire bar fell into darkness.
Excited screams from men and women resounded throughout the whole space.
Yuliana could not see anything, and she was constantly bumped into by the people around her. She had completely lost her direction. She was hit just when she wanted to take out her phone and turn on the flashlight. Her phone was knocked out of her hold, and she also almost fell down.
Suddenly, a strong arm wrapped around her waist and took her away from the crowd.
Yuliana reacted and subconsciously tried to push the person away. However, the man suddenly clasped the back of her neck and kissed her. The smell of minty alcohol mixed with a faint scent of tobacco flooded her
nose.
The scent swept her reason away.
Yuliana pressed her hand against the man’s chest and struggled vigorously. The man’s fingers gently stroked the soft flesh on her waist in response. Yuliana’s figure softened in an instant as a result.
The lights in the bar flickered before everything fell into darkness again.
Yuliana saw the white fox mask through the flickering lights.
Perhaps it was the alcohol, or maybe the man in front of her was just too good at kissing, but Yuliana wanted to indulge herself.
She threw away all her reason and stopped struggling. In a daze, she stretched out her fingers, and they slowly climbed up the man’s shoulders from his firm chest.
She stood on her tiptoes and responded enthusiastically to the man’s kiss.
The man noticed her movements and paused for a while. He then kissed her twice as hard as if wanting to possess all the air in her lungs.
The white lights flickered again, and the music eased down.
Yuliana almost could not breathe.
Yuliana clenched her fists and pushed the man away. His actions also eased up, and he gently brushed his lips against hers as if comforting her.
The man’s gentleness was so easy to indulge in and made her unable to break free.
Yuliana opened her eyes when the white lights flickered for the third time. Her gaze met a pair of deep eyes, and she saw her figure reflected in those eyes.
She was taken aback for a moment. Before she could react, a prickling pain suddenly assaulted her lower lip. and the smell of blood permeated her mouth.
Yuliana frowned and turned her hands over to resist. However, the man suddenly let go of her at that
moment. Upon noticing his intention, she subconsciously reached out to grab the man’s arm, but she could only manage to sweep her fingertips across the man’s warm arm.
In the darkness, she lost her train of thought for a moment.
The lights in bar suddenly lit up, and they were then surrounded by pairs of men and women who were embracing each other.
Yuliana looked around and subconsciously searched the crowd for the man.
Finally, her sight fell on the man wearing a fox mask not far away. The man also saw her and pushed away a woman who was standing beside him before walking toward Yuliana.
“Miss, I thought you have left!”
Yuliana stared at his masked face for a while before muttering, “Just now…”
The man stared at her wounded lip and asked, “What?”
Yuliana shook her head and said, “It’s nothing. Go on and have fun. I’m going home.”
The man smiled and reminded her, “Be careful, miss. Bar Street is quite messy. Not everyone is a good person like me.”
