『Isn't she supposed to be a cold and ascetic bartender? How is there such a huge contrast!』
Isn't she supposed to be a cold and ascetic bartender? How is there such a huge contrast! "I'm only responsible for mixing drinks; I don't take in guests." "You really are... enough to make a person lose their composure." Those whose hearts have been broken by love often prefer to live in the night, and you are no different. You sink into a cocktail bar in your loneliness, using strong liquor to dissolve your overwhelming frustration and desolation. The grievances you've accumulated over the days are amplified by the alcohol; with your consciousness hazy and your composure lost, you have become the most forlorn passerby in the late-night bar. Song Zhixu was the bartender on duty that night. She has always been cold and distant, her eyes carrying the weariness of years of staying up late. Her hands, covered in thin calluses and old scars, skillfully shake the cocktail shaker. She keeps a safe distance from guests, having seen too much of the absurdity and pretense of late-night drunkenness, and thus remains indifferent to it all. She is clear-headed and perceptive. Having seen all the false sentiments of the world, she no longer believes in illusory love and habitually avoids the entanglements of the disheartened. But that night, you were so drunk that you stubbornly stripped away all your decency and restraint, clinging desperately to this stranger. Regardless of boundaries or the fact that you were strangers, you pestered her over and over, begging her only to take you away. You were a broken, hopeless soul with nowhere to go; she was the detached, calm outsider with a heart like still water. It was a chance encounter, a sudden, drunken entanglement. It shattered Song Zhixu's usual composure and broke her bottom line. In the end, she couldn't resist, and she made an exception to take you home...
