Go Ahead If You Can!
Chapter 31
After dancing enough, Jubei and Bai Yilong did not leave immediately. Instead, they turned to the bar next door and waited for the sweat on their bodies to dissipate before going back to change their clothes.
Unlike the lively scene in the dance hall, the bar's lights were dim and ambiguous, but it was not noisy.
The guests were sitting in their booths, either chatting in low voices or toasting each other. On the stage directly above, there was a resident singer holding a guitar and singing a gentle tune. It was like a whisper in the night and did not overshadow the main character.
The two of them found a booth in the corner and sat down. There was a huge pot of money tree on the side, blocking their figures. They could only see the situation inside through the gaps.
However, for the people sitting in the booth, although their vision was slightly limited, it did not affect their ability to see the situation outside.
This hidden position was exactly what the two of them wanted. They pushed up the masks on their faces, revealing their sweaty faces. They wiped the sweat on their faces with wet tissues that they carried with them and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although this mask is useful, it's really stuffy."
Bai Yu threw the tissues into the trash can and sat on the sofa's armrest. He leaned back and looked up. "I haven't danced for a long time. I'm actually a little tired."
Zhu Yilong sat on the sofa next to him and habitually moved the sofa so that the two armchairs were close together. Although he did not dance often, this amount of exercise was nothing to him. He was quite excited at the moment.
He looked at the resident singer on the stage through the gaps of the pot of money tree and suddenly thought of someone. He leaned closer to Bai Yu and asked, "Look at that person on the stage. Does she look like Sha Ya?"
Sha Ya was an original supporting character in the drama version of Requiem. Her identity on Starfish was also a resident singer.
Bai Yu looked at the singer on the stage who had heavy makeup and was dressed in a non-mainstream way. He nodded and said, "She looks a little like her.
Speaking of which, didn't we have a scene in the past where we tried to catch Sha Ya in a bar and she ran away?
It does look a little like this place. "
Zhu Yilong also thought of that scene just now. For a moment, he felt a sense of weightlessness where reality and illusion overlapped. His eyes could not help but flicker slightly.
Bai Yu thought of something else. "Hey, Brother Long, when we go back, can we consider solving Sha Ya's case in advance?
This way, we can solve a lot of problems and save Lin Jing from being sad. "
"I think it's possible." Zhu Yilong nodded. "Let's study it when we go back tonight."
As they spoke, the female singer finished her song and switched to a new one. The tune was very soothing, with a hint of sadness.
Bai Yu listened for a while and unconsciously started to follow the beat.
I don't dare to look back, left and right, left and right, unnaturally, secretly;
Secretly, I'm always restless;
Trying to say goodnight, how empty and sad
He lowered his head and murmured, "My preference for you is too blatant.
The Clown walking, I, I feel,
Relief,,, I,,
After time has dried up, you will have nothing to do with me;
No answer, what should I do? Can't stand seeing me deceive myself.
Indulging, liking, hating, doting on, tired of, one by one, slowly fade away;
Indulging, capricious, casual, unbridled, and easily overturning all the joy.
Shouldn't be, too soft-hearted, not bold, too rigid, not decisive, playing without restraint;
Shouldn't be, giving up, giving up, letting go, cutting off thoughts, helpless and impatient.
Bai Yu was a person who liked to sing and was also very musical, but she had not heard this song before.
When she heard Zhu Yilong humming along with the song, she could not help but turn to look at him in surprise. "Brother Long, do you know what song this is?"
Just then, the song reached the interlude. The female singer hummed the chorus softly, and her voice was gentle and affectionate.
Zhu Yilong blinked, looked at Bai Yu, and said, "Little Half."
"Hmm?" Bai Yu did not hear clearly and asked in return.
"It's called 'Little Half.' I remember that your fans requested you to sing it during one of your live broadcasts."
Bai Yu did not even remember this. She said, "Oh, it's quite nice. I'll learn it later."
Zhu Yilong chuckled and did not comment on his words.
He raised his wrist to look at his watch and said, "It's quite late. Let's go back!"
"Okay, let's go after listening to this song."
However, when the song ended, Bai Yu had already fallen asleep.
Zhu Yilong only realized that she had fallen asleep when she fell on top of him. He tilted his head to look at Bai Yu's sleeping face and then looked at his watch. After hesitating for a moment, he did not wake her up. Instead, he gently adjusted his position so that she could lean more comfortably on him.
Zhu Yilong knew that the reason why Bai Yu proposed to bring him to the disco today was that he wanted him to take the opportunity to relax.
Yesterday, he had just been surrounded and chased by obsessive fans, so his control of his emotions was a little bad. Obviously, this sensitive and attentive friend of his had noticed some clues.
He was using this method to let him relax and vent the frustration in his heart.
This method of not saying anything and only using actions to express his feelings was very much in line with Bai Yu's behavior.
Zhu Yilong was very grateful for his kind intentions, but at the same time, he also felt sorry for his attentiveness.
He did not ignore the dark circles under Bai Yu's eyes.
The people in their two studios had a very good relationship. The Xiaobai in the Waves group had never been disbanded, and they often exchanged information with each other.
Zhu Yilong did not know Bai Yu's current situation like the back of his hand, but he also had a rough idea of how busy he was on set during this period of time in order to rush for his scenes.
Although the two of them would go to the world of Requiem every two days, which seemed to make a night extra long, they didn't get much rest in that world.
He needed to take on the responsibility of Shen Wei and travel back and forth between Earth and Starfish. How could Bai Yu not take on the responsibility of the Special Investigation Department?
When they returned to this world, the two of them had just become famous, and all kinds of sudden jobs had multiplied. The pressure on the set was relatively low, while Bai Yu's was much higher. No wonder the dark circles under his eyes were so obvious that even his foundation could not cover them up.
Zhu Yilong stared at Bai Yu's sleeping face for a long time before he withdrew his gaze. On one hand, he was wary of anyone discovering their corner, and on the other hand, he wanted to let Bai Yu sleep a little longer. He maintained this position for a long time, listening to music and looking at his phone, so he did not feel bored.
Bai Yu, on the other hand, was clearly very tired. Even in such a noisy environment, he was still sleeping soundly. It wasn't until the next singer on the stage played a dolphin voice that he was awakened from his sleep.
"Hiss — —" Bai Yu opened his eyes sleepily and reflexively licked the saliva that had flowed out from his bad sleeping posture. He looked around in a daze and realized that he had fallen asleep.
"Brother Long?"
He looked at Zhu Yilong beside him and immediately saw an unnatural dark patch on his shoulder. He suddenly felt a little guilty. "I fell asleep?
Your clothes … "
"It's okay. I have to change them in a while anyway."
Zhu Yilong shook his shoulder indifferently. His arm was very numb from maintaining the same position for a long time and being pressed down by a heavy object.
Seeing this, Bai Yu hurriedly pressed his hand on his arm. When he saw that the frown between his eyebrows had eased, he looked at his watch and said in surprise, "It's already so late?"
Zhu Yilong also looked at his watch. It was already past ten o 'clock at night.
They had originally planned to return to the world of "Requiem" at ten o 'clock, but now it seemed that they would have to postpone it.
However, it did not matter. One or two hours would not make a difference. He pulled down the mask hanging on his head and pointed in the direction of the door with his chin. "Let's go back?"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Bai Yu hurriedly stood up and put on his mask. "If we don't go back now, I'm afraid that we won't be able to earn enough contribution points tonight."
Therefore, the two of them quietly left the place, changed their clothes, and took the elevator back to the parking lot.
They sat in the driver's seat. One of them drove while the other called his assistant to pick him up. Finally, they found a small alley without surveillance cameras and went back to their respective hotels.
After washing up, they made a call to make an appointment and returned to the world of "Requiem" before eleven o 'clock.
…
When they opened their eyes again, the two of them were already back in Shen Wei's room.
They looked at each other, who had returned to their original costumes, and could not help but smile at each other.
"The two of us are simply rushing to the set."
Bai Yu raised her hand and touched the back of her neck. She shook her head. "This is strange. When I was lying on the bed just now, I could barely open my eyes. However, when I arrived here, I suddenly felt a hundred times more energetic. I didn't feel sleepy at all."
Zhu Yilong felt the same way. He looked at his palm. "Previously, the system said that the body in this world was reconstructed according to the physical fitness of the people in the drama. It seems that the physical conditions of the two worlds are not interconnected."
"But I'm still very tired!"
Bai Yu impolitely plopped her head on the sofa. She casually spread her arms and legs in an exceptionally relaxed position. "Physically, I'm not tired. Mentally, I'm tired.
Right now, I just want to sleep. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow! "
Zhu Yilong sat down on the single-seater sofa next to her. He smiled and said, "Don't lie here. If you really want to sleep, go to the bedroom. You can't even stretch your arms and legs here."
"I'll just lie down for a while …" Before Bai Yu could finish her sentence, her expression suddenly changed. At the same time, Zhu Yilong heard the cell phone in his pocket ring.
Bai Yu pulled out his cell phone with a gloomy face. When he saw the caller ID, he almost wailed, "Damn it!
It seems that I can't sleep anywhere. "
The caller was Wang Zheng, who had stayed at the Special Investigation Department to wait for news.
He picked up the phone. Unsurprisingly, the Li family had reported that Li Jiaqi was also missing.
They had to rush to the Li family's house immediately to check for clues.
Although Bai Yu already knew what the clues were, he still had to make this trip for the sake of the plot.
He hung up the phone and hopelessly jumped up from the sofa. However, his movements were too big, and he almost sprained his waist. He couldn't help but cry out, "Ouch!"
Zhu Yilong hurriedly reached out to help him. "Be careful!
Why are you so careless? "
"I just want to finish the plot as soon as possible!"
Bai Yu embarrassedly tugged at his messy clothes and tidied up his hair. He felt that he was handsome enough, so he walked towards the door. "I guess we'll have to stay up all night on this case. Don't worry about me for breakfast tomorrow. I'll take the Special Investigation Department to look for food. You should get some rest too."
