Make a Friend, Don't Be Nervous

Night Encounter Bar.

Located just a street away from Caiying.

Though not particularly large, it was the most popular bar in the area.

There was only one reason for this - all drinks were free for women aged 18-30.

Under this policy, many office workers would come here for a drink after work.

Of course, having a drink was just a pretext; the true purpose was crystal clear, just like the bar's name - Night Encounter.

Although drinks were free for women, very few single women actually came here. The name itself revealed the intentions of those who visited, so few were willing to walk into this tiger's den.

However, this also meant that any women who did show up were fully prepared for everything, including nighttime activities.

The bar was dimly lit with soft music playing, and many men sat like hunters with their drinks, scanning the room.

But today was strange - there wasn't a single woman in sight, much to everyone's disappointment.

"No luck today," someone shrugged, speaking to their companion.

"Hey, let's wait a bit longer. It's not like we have anything else to do."

Just then, the door opened, and Hoshino Kannon walked in wearing an ultra-mini skirt and black thigh-high stockings.

Her entrance seemed to come with its own spotlight, drawing every eye in the bar.

More accurately, drawing hungry and fevered gazes.

Who was Hoshino Kannon? She was a beauty on par with Su Qianmo!

Even in a fictional world full of beautiful women, she would be considered top-tier. Her appearance here was nothing short of spectacular.

Add to that her thigh-high stockings - as everyone knows, stockings that hug the thighs are beyond salvation!

"Damn, what a beauty!"

"Wow, we picked the right night! She's gorgeous!"

"Usually, the girls who come here are just average, but I never expected someone this beautiful to show up!"

Before Hoshino Kannon could even take a seat, a man approached her with a cocktail.

"All alone tonight, beautiful?"

"Mm." Hoshino Kannon gave him a glance and let out a small grunt, then turned to the bartender: "Is it free?"

The bartender nodded with a smile: "Of course it's free for a beauty like yourself visiting our humble establishment."

"Good." Hoshino Kannon scanned the display case and ordered a drink.

"You don't sound like you're from around here, beautiful," the man sat next to her with a sleazy smile.

"Mm." Hoshino Kannon remained cold, nodding slightly before taking a sip of her drink.

"Hey, you shouldn't drink alone. Let's drink together."

As he spoke, he moved to clink his cocktail glass against hers.

But just before the glasses could touch, Hoshino Kannon pulled her glass away: "Do you need something?"

"No, no, just wanting to make friends," he said with an awkward smile.

Make friends...

Hoshino Kannon pursed her lips, suddenly dropping her cold demeanor: "Yes, that's right. I'm here to make friends."

Hearing this, the man's face suddenly lit up with excitement.

This was his chance!

Absolutely his chance!

The possibility of something happening with this beauty was like a blessing from heaven!

But he couldn't rush it. A top-tier beauty like this wouldn't be easy to win over. He needed to chat with her first - if the conversation went well, they might even end up at a hotel!

With this in mind, he suppressed his excitement and forced a smile: "Where are you from? How long have you been in the magical city?"

"Well..." Hoshino Kannon thought for a moment before answering: "I'm from Sakura Country. I've been here... one day."

"Sakura Country?" The man suddenly perked up, quickly adding: "So you're a Sakura girl! You know, I have a special fondness for Sakura girls."

"How about this - since you've only been here a day, I could be your free tour guide? What do you say?"

Clearly, he had mistaken Hoshino Kannon for a tourist from Sakura Country.

Hoshino Kannon glanced at him, her eyes narrowing playfully: "You just want to sleep with me, right?"

"Huh?"

He was stunned, completely unprepared for such direct words from her.

Hoshino Kannon was no naive innocent - her former profession involved using her beauty to seduce assassination targets before striking. How could she not see through his intentions?

She was here for the free drinks, not to find a hookup.

Looking at the playful smile on her beautiful face, the man couldn't tell what she was thinking, and stammered: "Is... is that possible?"

"Hmph." Hoshino Kannon snorted with amusement: "What do you think?"

This rhetorical question left him stunned again. He looked her up and down carefully, and immediately felt ashamed.

Hoshino Kannon's figure wasn't the mature type like Su Qianmo or Liu Mingrui, but rather the cute girl type, though for some, her charm surpassed the mature type.

Coincidentally, the man opposite her had a preference for cute girls.

But preference aside, he knew his own worth. She was a beauty who looked like she'd stepped straight out of an anime - how could she possibly be interested in a mere office worker like him?

Realizing this, he smiled awkwardly: "Sorry about that, I was too forward."

"Mm." Hoshino Kannon nodded and ignored him.

Feeling embarrassed, the man made some small talk before returning to his previous spot.

But as soon as he left, other men in the bar began approaching Hoshino Kannon one after another.

However, predictably, they all left disappointed.

"Sigh, how could a beauty like her possibly be interested in us?"

"That's normal."

People whispered among themselves.

Just then, the door opened again, and two men wearing floral shirts and silver chains walked in.

As soon as they entered, they spotted Hoshino Kannon at the bar, and their eyes lit up.

They exchanged glances, gave each other a knowing look, and sat down on either side of her.

"All alone, beautiful?"

"You look familiar, miss. Have we met?"

Hoshino Kannon glanced at both of them: "Familiar? You've seen me before?"

The one on the left, who had long hair, shook his head and smiled: "No, I just think you look like my future girlfriend."

Hoshino Kannon: (⊙_⊙)?

Yue~

Hoshino Kannon felt sick.

What a cheesy pickup line.

"Do you need something?" Hoshino Kannon turned and gave him a look of contempt.

The one on the right, who had dyed yellow hair, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and offered one to her: "Come on, beautiful, let's be friends. Don't be so tense."

"If we hit it off, maybe we could go get some late-night snacks together."

As he spoke, his hand moved inappropriately toward Hoshino Kannon's shoulder.
