[BL] Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend

Ch43 - A Steady Gaze, No Expression

"I will never fall for anyone else, I only like Xiao Yuan—"

Song Xuanhe snatched Zhou Nan's phone. When he saw that the voice message had already been sent, he didn't even ask Zhou Nan when he had gotten Xiao Yuanmu's WeChat information and instead quickly went to delete the message.

When he saw the "Your message has been deleted" notification, he sighed in relief. He then kicked Zhou Nan, who had on an innocent expression. Song Xuanhe threw the phone back at Zhou Nan and asked, "When did you even get his WeChat info?"

"At Song Jiabao's reception last time." Zhou Nan glanced at the glass of wine in Song Xuanhe's hand. "That time you ended up drunk."

Wasn't that also the day he had called Xiao Yuanmu "Daddy?"

Zhou Nan had touched his sore spot. Song Xuanhe's expression turned rigid. The glare he directed towards Zhou Nan was as sharp as a blade. However, by the time Zhou Nan looked over at him, his eyes had already curved into a friendly smile.

"Now that I think about it, I didn't get to drink enough with you last time. You have to try my handiwork today." Song Xuanhe beamed as he called a waiter over. He whispered into the waiter's ears. The waiter hesitated for a moment before giving an affirmative answer and leaving.

Zhou Nan didn't know why, but he felt like the occasional glances that Song Xuanhe—this handsome fellow with a deceiving face— was giving him felt a bit weird. Furthermore, when the other had said, "Taste my handiwork," it felt like he had actually been saying "I'm going to kick your ass."

However, these thoughts disappeared when he saw Song Xuanhe's nimble and beautiful drink mixing skills and especially when he saw the end product. It was an ombre-coloured cocktail in a wine glass, the colour going from grey to blue. Zhou Nan's eyes widened in amazement.

"A cocktail I have specifically made for you. Make sure to drink it all." Song Xuanhe pushed the drink to Zhou Nan's side, beaming.

"Of course I'll finish it. But, when did you learn how to mix drinks? And, you're so good at it too." Zhou Nan was astonished. He raised the glass and looked at it from the bottom. Even though the cup had swayed, the drink still retained its ombre effect—the colours didn't mix together.

The waiter who had brought the necessary mixing tools and alcohol to Song Xuanhe was shocked. Even the bartender, who had followed along to see which guest had wanted to mix drinks, was astonished. The fact that the bartender could mix drinks here was evidence of his skill. However, despite all the years he'd spent mixing drinks and participating in competitions, he had never seen a drink like this before.

The beautiful colours and that ombre effect...the alcohol used in it had been expensive too. If he could learn how to make that, it could become a signature drink.

The bartender looked at Song Xuanhe with an ardent gaze. However, when he remembered who Song Xuanhe was, he became dejected. The people who could come drink here were not people he could casually seek connections with. He was different from the waiters. He had only been hired to work.

While Zhou Nan was astonished, the young lady sitting next to Xiao Shenglin had also widened her eyes. She looked at the ombre colour in the glass with fondness on her face. The drink looked like a cloudy sky clearing up or a hazy morning. Her mood bettered as she looked at it.

"Xuanhe gege, how did you make this?" Xiao Ranyun thought it was stunning. Her favourite colours just so happened to be blue and grey. This cocktail made her eyes light up. If it weren't for the fact that it would be rude, she would have already snatched the glass out of Zhou Nan's hands to get a better look.
