The Heart of Beauty [Entertainment Circle]

"Have you heard the legend of Aphrodite and Adonis, the gods of love and beauty?" The bartender took out sherry and vermouth from the wine rack.

While pouring the wine into the measuring vessel gracefully, she told Dong Youjing this tragic love story with a slightly hoarse voice.

The story of Adonis has corresponding versions in both Greek mythology and Roman mythology, and there are many different text descriptions in later generations.But there is one thing in common in different legends, that is, Adonis is extremely beautiful, like a spring flower.

The bartender's Korean occasionally had some small accents, but this did not affect Dong Youjing's concentration, and she was quickly immersed in the story.

"...Zeus, the king of gods, allowed him to return to the human world for 6 months every year to meet with the god of love."

Dong Youjing came back to her senses, and a glass of wine was pushed in front of her. The amber liquid had a faint luster and looked very mellow and attractive.

"Adonis is a milder cocktail, you can try it."

Dong Youjing was a little puzzled, "I thought Adonis was referring to the beautiful boy?"

"Indeed." The bartender smiled, "But I think that if it were you, you would definitely be able to make the God of Love and Beauty fall in love."

Quan Zhilong couldn't stand it anymore, he was sitting here alone, and that boss would talk to Dong Youjing so openly? !

Dong Youjing took a sip of the wine in the glass, the first thing she tasted was the taste of wine, and then it was a little spicy.

She also tried drinking alcohol in her previous life, but this was the first time for a cocktail.

Dong Youjing couldn't say whether she liked it or not, but she just thought it was a bit fresh.

"If you don't like it, don't force it." Quan Zhilong said, "Is there mcktail here? Give her a glass of that instead."

Mcktail refers to a non-alcoholic concoction, often with soda or fruit juice in place of alcohol.

Dong Youjing took another sip of the wine in the glass, "It's okay, I want to finish it."

She is like a child who is eager to announce that she has grown up, even if she doesn't like it, she wants to be brave.

Quan Zhilong grabbed her hand holding the cup, and slowly released it under Dong Youjing's gaze, "At least drink slowly, don't get yourself drunk."

Dong Youjing said "Oh", "I know."

Since Quan Zhilong brought her here, it was impossible not to prepare nothing.There will be a band playing next, and they will have a lot of time together.

He asked the bartender for a dry martini, and when he got the glass, he asked Dong Youjing to change his seat.

"If you sit over there, you'll be able to see the band performing in a while." Quan Zhilong just wanted to quickly separate Dong Youjing from the bartender who had no clue.

He only knew that Dong Youjing was attractive to men before, but he didn't expect her charm to even be missed by women now.

Thinking about it this way... In fact, Dong Youjing's friend is also a little unusually clingy...

What is he thinking about? !

Quan Zhilong looked at Dong Youjing who was sitting in front of him. Under the light, her delicate facial features seemed to be covered with a layer of veil, giving her a hazy and ambiguous beauty.The girl's lips were stained with a little crystal wine, making her look even more alluring.

Quan Zhilong lowered his head and took a sip of his wine as if to cover up.

The band Quan Zhilong mentioned soon appeared. The lead singer had a very distinctive voice, and the other party was humming an old English song. It was not noisy, and added some nostalgic atmosphere to the bar.

The glass in front of Dong Youjing was more than half empty, and she was going to finish that glass of wine unknowingly.

Quan Zhilong said, "I also drank alcohol when I was an adult, but it was beer bought at a convenience store."

He recalled the past, training in the company, debuting, writing songs for the group...

Quan Zhilong seldom talked about this to others, but he didn't know whether it was because of the alcohol or the good atmosphere, he suddenly wanted to say something to Dong Youjing.

"We were still living in the dormitory at that time. I bought a dozen beers and came back, but I got drunk after not drinking much." He still finds it funny when he thinks about it now.

Dong Youjing didn't speak, and became a very quiet listener until the other party fell silent again.

"Brother Zhilong is not easy." The girl said.

"What about you?" Quan Zhilong looked at Dong Youjing, "What was your life like before?"

Alcohol did affect his thinking ability, if he was sober, Quan Zhilong would not ask such a question.

Everyone knows that Dong Youjing grew up in an orphanage, and her past must have been unhappy.

"My previous life was nothing special."

She had a smooth life in this life. Although the life in the orphanage was poor, she still had food and drink.Compared with her previous life, this was satisfying enough.

Seeing that Quan Zhilong was still looking at her, she found two small things from her memory and told him.

The wine in Dong Youjing's glass finally bottomed out, she held her chin and blinked.

Some slightly dizzy.

This feeling is between being sober and drunk, the girl's clear eyes gradually became hazy, and her articulation became slower and slower. Quan Zhilong realized something was wrong, only to find that her cheeks were slightly pink, which seemed to be drunk.

"You just had a drink." Quan Zhilong smiled helplessly.

He himself had the nickname of "pour in a glass" before, but now he drinks much better than then.Although it is still easy to get drunk, it will not cause you to lose your sobriety after drinking a low-alcohol cocktail.

"I'll get you a glass of juice." Quan Zhilong was about to get up and leave his seat, but his wrist was held.

The girl's hands were weak, slender and soft, but Quan Zhilong seemed to be frozen, and did not take another step.

"Brother Zhilong..." Dong Youjing looked at him with watery eyes, even a hard-hearted person would not be able to withstand such eyes, let alone a man who already had a crush on her.

Quan Zhilong's Adam's Apple rolled up and down, "What's wrong?"

"I don't want juice."

Quan Zhilong said patiently: "You can't drink any more."

Dong Youjing lowered her eyes, looking a little disappointed.The man's heart softened, but he still didn't let go.

He looked at the girl's long black and smooth hair, but he couldn't hold it back. He reached out and touched the top of her head, "Be good, be obedient."

Dong Youjing let go of her hand and said slowly, "That's fine."

Quan Zhilong returned to the bar and ordered a non-alcoholic cocktail for Dong Youjing.

He looked at the neat and elegant bar owner, who was also a beauty, but he didn't have any other thoughts in his mind, "You knew You Jing from the beginning?"

"Of course I know the best newcomers of this year's Blue Dragon Awards and Dae Bell Awards," the woman said.

Quan Zhilong looked suspiciously, "I'm not talking about this understanding."

"I know what you want to ask. When you came to book the place, I guessed that it would be her birthday, so I came here today." The bar owner didn't intend to hide it, "but I have no ill intentions towards her."

"Youjing doesn't like women." Quan Zhilong's face was not very good-looking.

The bar owner froze for a moment, then smiled, "Don't be so guarded against me, she looks young, I won't shoot her."

"I just came to see her today." She put the prepared drink on the bar and said to Quan Zhilong.

The man returned to the table with a glass of drink. He had just put down the glass when his eyes locked on a spot in front of Dong Youjing.

His cup was being held by the girl at this moment, and the rest of the wine in it was gone.Quan Zhilong's mind went blank for a moment. Obviously, Dong Youjing drank his wine secretly.

Use his cup.

Evidence of her "crime" remained on the girl's mouth.

The band is still playing music not far away, the lead singer's voice is lowered, and the magnetic voice is a little ambiguous.

"I'm addicted to you, honey, come a little closer..."

The bartender behind the bar left there at some point.

Dong Youjing put down the cup, raised her head and looked at Quan Zhilong who was walking towards her.

Her eyelashes are very long, like light cicada wings when they blink, covering those watery eyes.

When Dong Youjing's movie was released, some film critics praised her eye play, saying that her eyes can speak.

Only then did Quan Zhilong understand what those people meant.

As if he had been bewitched, he got closer and closer.

Dong Youjing was obviously a little dull because of drinking, she didn't speak, just looked at him like that.

Quan Zhilong felt a fire burning inside him, at first it was just a little spark, but with every step he took, the spark burned up little by little, as if his bones were crackling.

Emotions that had been suppressed for a long time ran rampant in his body, looking for an outlet.

Quan Zhilong raised one hand to hold the girl's cheek, the confused little animal seemed to have sensed the danger, and flinched slightly.

She opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the man's next actions.

Quan Zhilong's fingertips touched Dong Youjing's soft lips, bit by bit wiping away the water left by the glass of martini on it.

The girl didn't wear lipstick today, and he wiped her pale pink lips into a beautiful bright red color, resembling the flesh of a cherry, which looked extraordinarily sweet and delicious.

Dong Youjing felt the tingling on her lips, her eyes became more moist, and the end of her beautiful eyes was also stained with thin red.

The innocent face somehow brought out a hint of beauty, Quan Zhilong stopped before he lost control.

He withdrew his hand stiffly, not daring to look at Dong Youjing's current state, "Sorry, I didn't mean it just now."

"Brother Zhilong, it hurts." Dong Youjing's tone was a little aggrieved.

But to Quan Zhilong's ears, her soft voice was not so much complaining, but acting like a baby.

"I brought you a drink." He pushed the drink he just brought back to Dong Youjing, and then took back his cup without a trace.

There was no more wine in the glass, and Quan Zhilong's throat became more and more thirsty.

This carefully prepared birthday date for Dong Youjing turned out to be his own torture.

He knew that he could kiss Dong Youjing just now, and she was already drunk and didn't know how to reject him, but she restrained herself forcefully.

Quan Zhilong has always been the kind of person who follows his will. He should have followed his will, but when facing Dong Youjing, he wanted more.

Not just a kiss, but a "later".

For the first time, he wanted to have a future with a girl.

As the night darkened, the bar owner gave Dong Youjing a small tiramisu. Quan Zhilong knew that she had eaten cake at noon, so he only asked the owner to prepare a dessert that was not too greasy.

Dong Youjing seemed a little sleepy, and Quan Zhilong was going to take her home.

Because both of them had been drinking, they couldn't drive.Quan Zhilong called a familiar substitute driver, but the other party was very strict and would not reveal their itinerary.

He helped Dong Youjing to sit in the back seat, and took the seat next to her by himself.

The car drove all the way to the downstairs of Dong Youjing's community. The girl seemed not so sleepy after the wind blew for a while, but from her still somewhat confused eyes, it could be seen that she hadn't fully sobered up yet.

"I'm home." Dong Youjing unfastened her seat belt and got out of the car.

"Can you go back by yourself?" Quan Zhilong was a little worried.

"Yes." Dong Youjing nodded.

Quan Zhilong moved to a place by the window, and said: "Then send me a message when you enter the house."

Dong Youjing obediently agreed, and then waved to Quan Zhilong.

The man smiled and raised the window.

Dong Youjing didn't turn around and leave immediately, but bent down and put her face close to the glass.

Quan Zhilong looked at her with some doubts.

The girl's face was getting closer and closer before his eyes, as if she was about to kiss himself through the glass.

The man's body was fixed there, his heartbeat began to speed up, and the sound of thumping seemed to be ringing in his ears.

Dong Youjing's peripheral vision glanced at the thin sweat on Quan Zhilong's forehead, and his eyes were bent.

Her breath left a cloud of mist on the glass, and the girl drew a smiling face on it with her white fingertips.
