Chapter 42: Chapter 23 part2

Ye Shuichuan helped Qi Le to simply move his things, took a look at the time, and asked Gu Bai to have lunch with them. Gu Bai knew that Xiao Le had switched bodies and that he would definitely be in contact with Ye Shuichuan pretty often so he needed to get on well with this person. He pretended to refuse twice, and finally agreed reluctantly under his warm invitation. The three found a place to have a pleasant meal but because Gu Bai didn’t have any reason to stay after that, he had to leave.

The other two went back to the apartment to chat. Ye Shuichuan advised Qi Le, “Gu Bai is a reliable person. It’s good that you’re with him."

Qi Le couldn’t explain anything to him and had to listen without saying a word. Finally, he couldn’t stand it any longer and went to bed. He slept soundly and woke up at around 4 pm, sitting in a daze for a while, before he was dragged out to dinner by Ye Shuichuan.

Qi Le sat in the car and looked surprised. “Where are we going?”

“I’ll take you to the bar to get familiar with the place. Your injuries are almost fully recovered. The boss said that you can go back to work,” Ye Shuichuan concentrated on driving. “A lot of people are waiting to see you again.”

Qi Le blinked and blinked innocently, “I’ve lost my memory and forgotten how to sing.”

“Give it a try. Your voice is so good. Even if you’ve got to learn all over again, you’ll still be fine.”

My old voice used to be good as well. But if you can’t sing, you just can’t sing. I can even sing the national anthem out of tune ah... Qi Le said sincerely, “You will regret it, I really can’t sing...”

“Let’s talk about it when we get there.”

The two of them reached the gay bar soon. It still wasn’t open hours yet. The boss had just gotten up and was immediately happy to see him. “Xiaoyuan, you’re here. Let me take a look. Are you alright now? Can you start working tomorrow?"

Qi Le hesitated and said that he couldn’t. The boss couldn’t help laughing, “It’s just memory loss. How can you really forget to sing? Come on, turn on the mic. Go up there, start singing and it’ll be fine.”

Qi Le was dragged up before he could even react to the situation. A group of staff looked at him encouragingly. “Sing something.”

Qi Le stood for a long time and forced out a tune, “Two tigers, two tigers. Run fast, run fast. Yo, yo. Mic check, mic check...”

The boss was silent for two seconds before he said, “Not bad, there’s a little rhythm. Sing something else. Don’t just read the words. Sing them.”

Qi Le took a deep breath, looked at the people below and nodded. “Mmm, don’t regret it then. You are the most beautiful cloud in my horizon. Let me make you stay with all my heart and care. Oh, stay~”

The boss was drinking water at the moment so he was the first to bear the brunt. A mouthful of water sprayed out at once. The others were all in shock. Only Ye Shuichuan nodded and genuinely praised him, “Singing compeletely out of tune is also a skill!”

Qi Le, “......”

The boss wiped his mouth and patted him on the shoulder affectionately. His face was gentle. “Be good. Rest well since you’re not fully recovered. Don’t force yourself.”

Qi Le, “......”

Qi Le quietly went down to find a place to sit and watched them get busy. Only then did he find out that Ye Shuichuan was a DJ and that the bar opened at 6:30 pm. No one was there yet. He looked around and saw Tranny and Baby Face.

“You’re here too. Come, sit with us.” Tranny, who was sitting at the bar, waved at him.

Qi Le kept quiet. He got up and went over, but when he saw Baby Face, with red, swollen eyes, mumbling to himself, he was surprised. “What is he doing?”

“I’m helping him get rid of his slave mentality and become a queen,” Tranny replied, kicking the person next to him. “Say it again for me to hear.”

Baby Face with red eyes and a deadpan expression muttered, “Who... who do you think you are? Let me... No, let Laozi tell you, if Laozi ever takes your dick again, Laozi will write my name backwards...”

“Be more fierce,” said Tranny. “Keep practicing until Ning Xiao comes.”

Baby Face choked, “Will this really make him look at me?”

“Really,” Tranny reached out a finger and pointed at Qi Le. "Just look at him. He’s a good example.”

Qi Le, “......”

Baby Face looked at him and nodded with sob.

“Go to the restroom and say it in front of the mirror. Go.”

Baby Face sniffled and turned away.

Qi Le’s lips twitched. “Do you really think that Ning Xiao will care?"

Tranny grunted in annoyance. “What do you know? It’s better if he ignores him."

Qi Le, “......”

Tranny hummed a tune, leisurely looked around, and occasionally greeted a couple of passers-by. Qi Le raised his eyebrows. “Do you work here too?”

“Mmm, but I don’t have any shifts today.”

“Then what are you doing here?”

“Looking at people. They’re all hotties. Look at that one,” said the Tranny, pointing to somewhere not far off. “Look at how handsome he is. Keep looking downwards. Look down at his dick. Tsk, tsk.”

“...” Qi Le asked, “So you’re just here to look at people?”

“And also dicks,” answered Tranny truthfully. “Soon, there will be more people. A lot of them will be wearing fitting pants. There’ll be dicks everywhere. Just watch.”

Qi Le, “......”

“Isn’t this Xiaoyuan?” The handsome bartender came over with a smile, “What would you like to drink? My treat, cocktail, beer or juice, Xiaoyuan?”

“Huh?” Qi Le regained his senses. “Oh, a glass of dick.”

Tranny, “......”

Bartender, “......”

Qi Le digested what he had just said for a second, and asked in an innocent voice, “...What did I just say?”

The bartender finally responded, smiling ambiguously at him. He took out the small, medium and large glasses. “How big do you want the dick to be, Xiaoyuan?"

Qi Le, “......”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Tranny fell to the bar top, laughing uncontrollably. All of a sudden, he glanced at the door and sat upright. “Someone’s coming. Is it a hottie... Eh, why does he look familiar?”

Qi Le looked over and immediately saw a certain idiot’s face. That person had obviously seen him as well, and ran quickly towards him. “It’s so nice to see you!”

Qi Le was horrified. “Fucking hell! How did you find me?!"

Yi Hang grabbed him by the collar, face pale. “Let’s talk about that later. Please save me ah, save me! That bastard wants to burst my chrysanthemum, ahhh!”

Qi Le, “......”

P.S. Sorry for missing last night’s update. Just a reminder, I can’t be sure exactly when my work schedule eases up. So, for the moment, I may miss certain days but will be sure to make it up (so you still get 7 releases a week). ❤
