As the conversation reached this point, the bartender timely placed the mixed "Tequila Sunrise" gently in front of Lin Yi.
Looking at the cocktail called Tequila Sunrise, the color gradually changed from yellow to red, like the color of the sky at sunrise, which was very appealing.
Eri Kisaki couldn't help but smile and say, "Tequila Sunrise, made from tequila, orange juice, and grenadine syrup, represents the passionate and uninhibited personality of Sagittarius… It seems that you are a person full of passion for life."
Lin Yi smiled, picked up the Tequila Sunrise, and took a small sip.
Just from Eri Kisaki's words, Lin Yi felt a strong queen aura, which instantly made him realize that the difficulty of the strategy was unprecedentedly high.
This was completely different from the high school girls and adult women Lin Yi had encountered before.
If Ran and Sonoko were enthusiastic and full of energy, and Akemi Miyano was gentle and reserved, then Eri Kisaki was intelligent and beautiful.
Not only was she beautiful, but she was also smart and had enough life experience.
She not only took the initiative to strike up a conversation, but also gladly accepted Lin Yi's praise, and her whole body was filled with the aura of a strong person.
Compared to those girls who blushed after being praised a few times, she was much stronger.
Most importantly, this kind of strong woman had long since moved beyond the superficial level of just looking at appearances.
Although Lin Yi's charm still worked on Eri Kisaki, the effect was greatly reduced.
If Lin Yi's charm could increase the favorability of ordinary women by 40 points upon meeting, then it would probably only be about ten or twenty points on Eri Kisaki.
Facing such a strong woman, Lin Yi deeply knew that if he couldn't leave a deep impression on the other person at the first meeting, then it would be difficult to win the other person's favor afterward.
Putting down the glass, Lin Yi looked at the light green cocktail in Eri Kisaki's hand and said, "Cocktails have various colors, and each color represents its different meaning. For example, green indicates that you are not in a good mood right now."
"The cocktail is a Brazilian style drink made from gin, lime juice, lemon, and mint, suitable for those who are feeling depressed. You've encountered some troubling things recently… would you like to chat with me?"
Eri Kisaki gently shook her glass, the corners of her mouth raised, her eyes smiling. "I can't tell, you're not that old, but you know quite a lot."
Lin Yi said, "Age refers to the length of time a person has been alive from birth to the present. All it can tell you is how long a person has lived. It can't tell you what a person has experienced."
"Using age to judge whether a person is mature or not is not a smart thing to do…"
Eri Kisaki did not hide her interest in Lin Yi. She looked at Lin Yi with her cheeks propped up. "However, most people's age is linked to their maturity, and some people's age is far behind their supposed maturity."
"And a small number of people's maturity far exceeds their age," Lin Yi added.
"Are you talking about yourself?" Eri Kisaki asked amusingly.
"Yes, I'm talking about myself." Lin Yi nodded in acknowledgment.
Eri Kisaki laughed a few times, then repeatedly sized up Lin Yi again, and indeed noticed a maturity in him that did not belong to his age.
"Indeed… you are more mature than your peers." Eri Kisaki nodded in agreement, then said, "But it's only a little more mature…"
She said as she used her index finger and thumb to gesture the width of a fingernail.
… … … …
Truth or Dare has been going on for several rounds in a row.
Why hasn't he come back yet?
Aoto Zendai listened absentmindedly to the other people's "Truth or Dare", her eyes occasionally looking at Lin Yi, who was sitting at the bar.
It was very obvious that her mind was completely focused on Lin Yi.
Even though Lin Yi was separated from Eri Kisaki by a seat, Aoshima Zendai could still guess that Lin Yi was chatting with the beautiful bartender.
This made her very angry and unhappy.
You were the one who asked me out, but in the end, you went to flirt with other women. What's the meaning of this?
However, more than anger and unhappiness, Aoshima Zendai felt jealousy and envy.
She really wanted to go directly and interrupt their conversation.
But she worried that doing so would cause her image in Lin Yi's mind to plummet.
Most importantly, Aoshima Zendai lacked confidence in front of Lin Yi.
She was just an ordinary bank clerk, while the other party was already Mori Kogoro's assistant at a young age. From his performance in the studio, she knew that his future achievements would be more than that.
Thinking of this, Aoshima Zendai became a little anxious, fearing that her wrong behavior would cause her to lose him.
This wouldn't work, and that wouldn't work either. Aoshima Zendai didn't know what she should do, so she could only pick up her wine glass and drink continuously.
With Lin Yi absent, she had no intention of answering other people's questions, just drinking, drinking, drinking.
When she was out, she would ask the waiter to bring another glass.
The other four actors saw her like this and tacitly didn't ask. After a few spins of the turntable, they even skipped her directly.
On the contrary, the carefree Aoshima Mina seemed to be having a great time.
… … … … … …
"Since you know I'm in trouble… then guess, what kind of trouble did I encounter?"
After Eri Kisaki finished speaking, she picked up her cocktail and took a sip, carefully savoring the sour, sweet, and bitter flavors.
Lin Yi stirred his straw and also looked directly at Eri Kisaki, saying, "There are many things that can cause trouble, but generally speaking, they can be divided into two types…"
"One is the trouble brought by work, and the other is the trouble brought by life."
"From your behavior, it's not difficult to see that you are a strong woman who dominates the workplace… If it were trouble brought by work, you should choose to face it directly, rather than drinking to relieve your worries."
"You are experiencing trouble in your life. You came alone, without bringing friends or girlfriends, which means you don't want to talk about this trouble with familiar people… I'll make a bold guess, something went wrong with your love life. Did he cheat on you?"
"You guessed it right away… how boring."
Eri Kisaki pouted. Although she said that, she was obviously very satisfied with the answer Lin Yi gave.
Being able to guess it meant that the other party had enough experience, and may even have had the same experience, able to understand her feelings, thereby producing a trace of resonance.
Moreover, if the other party could guess it, maybe they could give her some more pertinent advice.
In any case, being able to guess it was much better than not being able to guess it at all.
