Quick Transmigration: The Villain is Destiny, the Protagonist Takes a Backseat

The nightlife is just beginning.

Ji Qiuzhe had no intention of going back. Instead, he remained seated at the bar, drinking his fifth glass of water that night.

Shen Liuyun didn't leave either. He had a slight fever today and wanted to go home to rest early, but for some reason, while singing, the fleeting glimpse of the bar kept flashing through his mind.

After returning backstage to remove his makeup, he rinsed off the remaining cosmetics with water, thought for a moment, spent another ten minutes applying light makeup, and changed into a light blue backless knit top.

The opening at the back of the dress wasn't large, just enough to subtly reveal a captivating waistline.

A cute girl with two dimples on her face when she smiled walked by and whistled teasingly.

"Hey~ beautiful lady, who's got their eye on you this day?"

Shen Liuyun didn't care about her teasing. He flicked his carefully styled hair and raised an eyebrow at her.

Qi Yiyuan asked in surprise, "What's going on? They didn't like you?"

She stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "So you've fallen for him?"

Shen Liuyun paused for a moment, then denied it: "No."

"Oh~" Qi Yiyuan nodded to herself, "So you're a little concerned, but who exactly is this special person?"

Shen Liuyun fell silent. Qi Yiyuan was the lead singer who replaced He Chongguang, and he was a third-year college student.

She was known throughout the band as someone who could read Shen Liuyun's mind, always able to easily see through all of Shen Liuyun's thoughts.

Qi Yiyuan made a gesture of using her hand as a zipper to zip up her mouth.

He gestured to her with his eyes that he understood, and she shut up.

The dance floor was bustling with activity, the colorful ambient lights flashing in various patterns, and the energetic DJ music almost pierced the eardrums. Ji Qiuzhe didn't move an inch, watching the handsome men and beautiful women twist their waists wildly, and sat melancholically at the bar striking poses.

[Host, the villain is about to appear, currently ten meters away from you.] 003 accurately reports location.

Ji Qiuzhe's expressionless face instantly changed, revealing four parts sorrow, three parts heartbreak, and three parts helplessness.

He looked exactly like a heartbroken handsome guy who wanted to drown his sorrows at a bar but couldn't drink.

Even 003 was stunned; he got into character so quickly!

Where is he/she?

[At your three o'clock position, five meters away.]

Ji Qiuzhe shifted his position subtly, changing his angle to reveal his superior jawline and delicate profile.

On the other side.

Shen Liuyun originally wanted to go to the bar, but was forcibly stopped halfway and had no choice but to sit down in a booth.

A glass of Negroni was handed to him, and he didn't resist. He took a symbolic sip but didn't drink it.

The man then went even further, saying, "Drink it all, beautiful Shen! I finally have a chance to be with you, you're not going to be so ungrateful, are you?"

The speaker was a regular at the bar, a rich second-generation heir with some money in his family.

This guy has been trying to seduce Shen Liuyun for a long time. He's also good-looking, but unfortunately, he's a womanizer. One-night stands are common for him. Shen Liuyun is a bit of a germaphobe and is allergic to rotten cucumbers.

She had never given him a kind look before, but today she hadn't been paying attention and he had taken advantage of her. Looking at Ji Qiuzhe a few steps away, she felt extremely irritated.

Ji Qiuzhe pretended for a while before realizing something was wrong and couldn't help but turn his head to look.

Then a lewd hand tried to grope Shen Liuyun.

Ji Qiuzhe looked around with a sullen face.

003 thinks he's probably looking for a suitable weapon to do something illegal or criminal.

It was terrified and turned pale, quickly advising, "Host, please don't act impulsively! Murder is punishable by death! As mission takers, we must abide by the law!"

Ji Qiuzhe gritted his teeth: [But he touched his hand, and I haven't even touched it yet!!!]

Just then, the man, not getting a response, lost face.

"Shen Liuyun, you filthy bitch, don't push your luck! Everyone knows you like to flirt! What are you pretending to be innocent for?"

He then reached out and started pouring the wine into my hand.

Shen Liuyun's face turned completely cold. She pinched the man's hand, which was trying to take advantage of her, with a little force until the man cried out in pain, before she took out a disinfectant wipe she carried with her to clean her hand.

After wiping his hands, he irritably tossed the trash onto the messy table before walking away with elegant steps as if nothing had happened.

Ji Qiuzhe was still jealous.

003 quickly reminded: [Host, the villain is coming. Be mindful of your character.]

Ji Qiuzhe then noticed that Shen Liuyun had already taken a seat on the other side of the bar, less than two meters away from him.

It's a somewhat ambiguous, yet safe distance.

"A Margarita, please."

The man wasn't sitting upright; his slightly hunched back made his protruding vertebrae particularly noticeable.

Ji Qiuzhe glanced at it seemingly casually, his ears burning, wondering who was flirting with whom.

She's wearing a backless dress!

She even changed to lighter, simpler makeup!

Damn, this style of wife is absolutely captivating!

Ji Qiuzhe silently told himself that he didn't like men and that he just wanted to play with his feelings.

He barely managed to calm himself down and avoid losing his composure.

One of them was drinking water, and the other was drinking a medium-strength cocktail. They were in perfect sync, and neither of them spoke.

Finally, after a long time, Shen Liuyun couldn't hold back any longer.

He was somewhat surprised to find that the man at the bar hadn't left. In that instant, he was certain that this man was the source of that gaze.

The thought that this man, like all other men, harbored ulterior motives towards him made him feel nauseous, but he didn't leave.

He wanted to see what new tricks the other party could come up with.

Shen Liuyun sat there for a long time, but the other party showed no intention of striking up a conversation with him.

Instead, he kept drinking water in silence, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

On one hand, Shen Liuyun felt that this man was seriously ill—couldn't he drink plain water at home? On the other hand, she couldn't help but wonder, what was the reason he was sitting there?

This was the first time a man had been by his side, yet he was completely ignored.

Shen Liuyun couldn't resist and asked the bartender for a dry martini, then moved it in front of the person next to him.

She successfully earned a surprised look from the handsome man.

Shen Liuyun smiled and said, "It's just plain water."

Ji Qiuzhe naturally recognized the cocktail in front of him and knew how strong it was.

But he pretended to be awkward, as if he were a newcomer.

"No." A blush crept across the man's face. "I'm sorry, I don't drink alcohol."

Pretending quite well.

Shen Liuyun was amused and smiled, saying as if to say kindly, "Don't worry, the prescription is very low."

Finally, he added, "It's my treat."

He knows his strengths all too well; a simple smile is enough to amaze.

Ji Qiuzhe looked at this face, which bore almost no resemblance to the previous two worlds, yet it made his heart flutter.

I can't refuse even a little bit.

It's probably normal for a man who's heartbroken in love to be infatuated with women, right?

Without hesitation, he tilted his head back and drank the clear liquid in the goblet in one gulp.

Only after finishing the drink did I belatedly realize and exclaim, "It's a bit bitter!"

Shen Liuyun's smile deepened.

"Is it good?"

"It smells good."

After Ji Qiuzhe finished speaking, his face flushed, he fainted.
