Seeing that he had no place to sit and didn't want to stand, Lin Yi patted Eri Kisaki's shoulder and said, "I don't have a seat, let's drink somewhere else."
Eri Kisaki said with a slight laugh, "That guy just now stood silently to flirt with me. You've only been standing for a moment, and you're already impatient?"
"I'm not him."
Lin Yi picked up his wine glass and waved his hand, signaling her to follow.
Eri Kisaki pouted but still picked up her wine glass and followed.
After Lin Yi sat down in a booth, Eri Kisaki chose to sit opposite him.
"How many drinks have you had?"
Lin Yi asked.
"This is the third glass," Eri Kisaki said.
"Then I'll drink three glasses first."
Lin Yi, confident that he wouldn't easily get drunk, immediately poured himself three glasses of wine without a word.
His showmanship was outstanding.
Eri Kisaki fell for this, or rather, girls generally fall for this.
They like straightforward men.
After finishing the three glasses of wine, Lin Yi just looked at Eri Kisaki without speaking.
Eri Kisaki was past the age of shyness, so she naturally looked back at him without backing down.
Seeing that this trick didn't work on Eri Kisaki, Lin Yi said, "I've noticed that we have quite a connection."
"Hehe..." Eri Kisaki laughed and said, "Is it really okay to use such a cliché line as an opening?"
"No, I'm serious."
Lin Yi said with a "sincere" expression, "The last time I went to a bar was when I met you."
"I don't believe it."
Eri Kisaki shook her head.
"What do you think of this bar?" Lin Yi suddenly changed the subject.
"It's alright..." Eri Kisaki said, "Not particularly good, but not particularly bad..."
Lin Yi said with a smile, "Then what do you think... where else needs improvement?"
"Well, there are many places to improve. First, the color of the lighting—the cold tones aren't quite right. Switching to warm tones should be a bit better..." After Eri Kisaki suggested some improvements, she paused, seemingly realizing something. "You're the one who opened this bar?"
"Yes." Lin Yi nodded, then said shamelessly, "I've been so busy I haven't had a moment's rest lately just to build this bar... You know, it's not easy to find a good location in Tokyo. And opening a bar in such a prime spot... is even harder."
Actually, it was quite easy; he just kept throwing money at it... "It's a bit hard to believe." Eri Kisaki was slightly surprised. Of course, she wasn't surprised that Lin Yi had money, but that he was the owner of this bar.
After all, there were so many bars in Tokyo, yet she just happened to walk into this one.
These words made her start to understand why he said there was a strong sense of fate between them.
Since Lin Yi was the owner of this bar, what was his relationship with the pair of sisters who were the managers?
Eri Kisaki wanted to know, but she was well aware that the relationship between the two of them was very peculiar. They were attracted to each other, yet they didn't even know each other's names.
Since they didn't know names, she couldn't curiously pry into his affairs.
Therefore, Eri Kisaki could only suppress this question in her heart.
"Come with me! This isn't a place you should stay!"
In the quiet and elegant environment, an untimely voice appeared, instantly ruining the atmosphere.
The conversation between Lin Yi and Eri Kisaki was also interrupted.
Lin Yi looked at the table where the trouble was occurring with some displeasure. Security guards were already heading over to handle the issue.
He then asked Eri Kisaki, "Do you come here often to drink?"
"Yes." Eri Kisaki nodded.
"Does this kind of thing happen often?" Lin Yi asked.
"It's alright," Eri Kisaki said, swirling her glass. "Compared to other bars, the probability of things happening here is lower. The troublemakers are usually kicked out by security."
Lin Yi didn't say anything, just watched the security guards get into a dispute with the troublemakers. He set down his glass, stood up, and said, "I'll go handle it. Wait a moment."
After saying that, he walked toward the scene of the disturbance.
Eri Kisaki held her glass and watched from a distance, waiting to see what would happen.
"Saya! Come back with me! This isn't a place for you!!"
A man shouted at a beautifully dressed girl.
"Why can't I come? I'm already eighteen!" Saya said unhappily. "Ippei! Even if you are my brother, you can't control me this much!"
"Sir, whatever it is, please talk about it after you go back." A security guard reached out, wanting to pull away the young man named Ippei.
"You want me to leave? Fine. I'll take my sister with me right now." As Ippei spoke, he reached out to grab Saya's wrist, intending to drag her away.
But Saya was surprisingly strong, and she actually managed to reach a stalemate with her brother.
The security guards felt a headache coming on. What they feared most was family members coming to cause trouble.
Even an honest official finds it hard to settle family quarrels, let alone security guards responsible for watching the floor.
Just as they were unsure how to handle it, Lin Yi arrived. He waved them back to stand guard while he handled it himself.
Looking at the two people in a tug-of-war, Lin Yi grabbed Ippei's hand directly and pulled him away with brute force.
"Who are you?" Ippei shouted at Lin Yi in dissatisfaction. "No matter who you are, this is a family matter. It's none of your business. Go away!"
As he spoke, he tried to bypass Lin Yi again to grab his sister.
Seeing his unreasonable posture, Lin Yi knew this guy was a seasoned street thug.
To deal with such people, one had to use force.
Lin Yi grabbed his wrist and gave it a hard twist, making him howl in pain.
Pushing the man away casually, Lin Yi said, "I am the owner of this bar... If you have family matters to settle, go home and settle them. Don't make a scene here; it affects my business."
"Isn't that exactly what I'm doing, taking her home? Don't stop me!" Ippei still insisted on taking her away.
"I'll go back! But not right now!!" Saya shouted from behind.
"Is that how you talk to your brother?" Ippei shouted angrily.
Lin Yi saw that this guy was not only a thug but also a complete blockhead.
Normally, he would have had the security guards take him away and give him a good beating to solve everything.
But not now. Eri Kisaki was watching, so Lin Yi had to show a mature performance.
