When Lin Ye took a blooming dahlia from Hu Die’s head, a hint of surprise flashed in Hu Die’s eyes.
“Is this a dahlia?”
“Yes, a dahlia. It symbolizes great fortune, passion and courage, bravery and perseverance. No matter what flower it’s paired with, it will always be the most eye-catching one, with other flowers merely serving as its backdrop.”
As soon as Lin Ye finished speaking, Hu Die smiled, a radiant, brilliant smile.
“Are you praising the flower or praising me?”
“Hmm… do you want to hear the truth or a lie?” Lin Ye replied after a moment of contemplation.
“Then I’d rather hear a lie.”
“Praising you.”
“Alright, it seems I was being presumptuous, but I really like this flower.” Saying that, Hu Die tucked the dahlia into her hair, then stood up, picked up her glass, and elegantly departed.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned her head back, looking at Lin Ye with a hint of playful anger.
“For your next performance, wear the two outfits I gave you.”
Hearing this, Lin Ye smiled and nodded.
“Alright.”
“That’s more like it. If you get hungry later, there’s staff meal in the back, just go eat. If it gets cold, there’s a microwave.”
“If you don’t have a ride back, just take a taxi, I’ll reimburse you.”
“Thank you, boss.”
Soon, Hu Die, with the flower in her hair, walked gracefully to a booth on the other side, chatting enthusiastically with the guests inside, occasionally laughing until her shoulders shook.
Meanwhile, inside the bar, the atmosphere had reached a new high after Lin Ye’s magic show.
Half an hour later, Lin Ye once again stepped onto the small stage in the center.
Because of his previous performance, most of the customers in the bar already knew Lin Ye was a Magician, but there were still some customers who were unaware.
For example, a group of girls who had just entered the bar.
These girls were all dressed very fashionably, with their clothing and accessories leaning towards a hip-hop style.
The leading girl, though cute, had many studs on her face—lips, nose, eyelids, and even cheeks were adorned with various studs. Her long, fiery red hair was wrapped in a patterned scarf, making her look full of vitality.
Just at this moment, Lin Ye had just stepped onto the stage, and everyone in the bar focused their attention on him.
The slightly quiet bar immediately caught the attention of this group of girls.
“What’s going on? Why is it so quiet here today?”
“Yeah, did someone get into a fight?”
“Couldn’t be, who would dare to fight and cause trouble here?”
“What are they looking at?”
“Let’s go see, then we’ll know.”
Saying that, the group of hip-hop girls squeezed into the middle of the bar, and with one glance, they saw Lin Ye standing in the center of the small stage.
“Huh? Big Sis, it’s a man!”
A Shibuya-style girl immediately spoke up with a shocked expression after clearly seeing Lin Ye’s appearance.
“Don’t call me Big Sis! That title is so low, how many times have I told you?” The Lip Stud Girl glared fiercely at the girl next to her. “And you don’t need to tell me, can’t I tell he’s a man?”
“How strange, why is there a man here? What is he doing?”
“According to my judgment, he should be performing magic!” Another girl, adorned with so much jewelry she could open a dollar store if she fell, answered while stroking her chin after a glance.
“What you’re saying is nonsense, if it’s not magic, could it be sorcery?”
After saying this, the Lip Stud Girl suddenly clenched her small fist tightly.
“No! I absolutely won’t allow a man to appear here. When he performs magic later, we’ll find a way to expose him, make him lose face, and then drive him away, understood?”
“Boss, don’t worry, Black Rose Bar is our big women’s base camp, we absolutely won’t allow men in. We’ll find a way to mess with him later.”
“Exactly, drive him away.”
“But he’s very handsome.”
“Don’t be fooled by his looks. The handsomer a man is, the more of a playboy he is. A man as handsome as him will treat you like a dog.”
“Exactly, exactly. He’s so handsome and dressed so well, he must have ill intentions.”
“As someone with experience, I’m telling you, don’t date handsome guys, and don’t be fooled by his ‘baby’s. His phone is a kindergarten, full of ‘babies.’ And don’t date ugly guys, ugly guys not only lie but are also ugly.” The Lip Stud Girl said with a serious expression.
“Wow, Boss’s words are so profound! Boss, you must have had many, many boyfriends, right?” A thin girl looked at the Lip Stud Girl with admiration.
Upon hearing this, the Lip Stud Girl’s lips immediately curved upwards.
“No need to ask, I’ve had more boyfriends than you’ve ever seen men. I’ve dated all types, and precisely because of that, I feel that soft and sweet girls are better.”
“Come on, let Boss give you a kiss!”
Saying that, the Lip Stud Girl put her arm around another girl next to her, cupped her face, and leaned in to kiss her.
And just then, Lin Ye’s voice was heard again from the stage.
“This next magic trick is quite special. I need a beautiful lady to come on stage and be my assistant.”
“To be my assistant, one must not only possess exquisite beauty but also a pure heart. However, my magic is limited, and I cannot distinguish whose heart is the purest among so many beautiful ladies present.”
“Therefore, I will let my animal companion, and also my magical assistant, Black, do the discerning.”
“Please welcome Black.”
As soon as Lin Ye finished speaking, a cat’s meow suddenly rang out from the stage.
This sudden meow instantly attracted everyone’s attention, and they all looked towards the stage, trying to find the source of the cat’s meow.
However, no matter how hard they searched, they found no trace.
Until someone let out a gasp.
“The cat is there! On his head!”
Hearing this gasp, everyone present unconsciously looked towards Lin Ye’s head.
Under the dim lights of the bar, a completely Black, elegant, noble-like high-Appearance Black cat was standing on Lin Ye’s head, its eyes emitting a green light like emeralds.
Upon discovering the Black Cat’s presence, the entire bar instantly erupted.
Simply because they had no idea when the Black Cat had appeared.
Just then, the Black Cat suddenly jumped down from Lin Ye’s head and obediently squatted at his feet.
“Black, go find the lady with the pure heart.”
“Meow~”
After meowing, the Black Cat did a stretch in place, then strutted off the stage.
Under the curious gaze of the female customers, it sniffed here and rubbed there, showing no social anxiety at all.
Everyone showed strong affection for such a cute little cat, and many wanted to hug it, but it dodged them all.
Finally, Black seemed to smell something, slowly walked to the Lip Stud Girl’s side, squatted down, and placed its left front paw on the Lip Stud Girl’s pants, turning its head to meow at Lin Ye on the stage.
Suddenly, everyone in the bar was drawn to the Lip Stud Girl.
And faced with this sudden scene, the Lip Stud Girl immediately panicked.
She had completely not expected Black to choose her.
“Could it be that my pure heart was really discovered by it?”
At this moment, she was completely unaware that Black’s small eyes were fixed on a bag she was carrying.
The bag also had a few words written on it — “Haodada Chicken Cutlet.”
