    Chapter 103 Hilda deliberately sent someone to the bar upstairs to seduce you?

    The fifteenth floor of the cruise ship is a bar and casino, and also the money pit of this ship, barely worthy of being called extravagant, after all, the number of people on this ship is limited.

    When Song Ji’an walked into the bar, the music on the stage was deafening, and the people in the dance floor let out a burst of exclamations. Someone ordered a dozen bottles of champagne and opened them directly in the pool. The sprayed liquor drenched everyone, but in this atmosphere, it became an stimulant before the carnival. The lights overhead quickly dimmed, and someone held a microphone and stood on the highest stage, the only light focusing on her.

    “Good evening, ladies,” she said with a smile, “Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Now it’s our special show, everyone can enjoy the beauty of tonight, without keeping any unhappiness or sadness in your heart, because the theme of our night is freedom and carnival.”

    As her words fell, cheers rang out from the dance floor. Song Ji’an took advantage of the darkness to turn to a bar counter. It was quieter than other places here. The bartender looked at her for a while before handing her a glass of tequila.

    “You look a little tired?” she asked with a smile.

    “I’m okay,” Song Ji’an took a sip of the wine. The lemon and salt made its taste much richer, like drinking a newly released drink. In fact, she had already felt tired when she first walked in here.

    She was clearly only twenty-three years old, but in the huge vibration and noise of the sound, she felt that her spirit had been greatly persecuted.

    Everything here made her unable to adapt. In the dim light, people could only hear each other clearly when they were close, and there was an ambiguous atmosphere everywhere.

    The bartender was not a full-time bartender, but a bored passenger on the cruise ship. She and her friend were the initiators of the party tonight. The way she looked at Song Ji’an was like looking at prey.

    Song Ji’an suddenly asked, “Am I your target now?”

    The bartender was slightly stunned, and then laughed out loud at her straightforwardness, “Yes, but it seems you don’t want to be my target.”

    “I’m just here to drink,” Song Ji’an shook her glass at her, “I probably can’t meet your needs.”

    “Is that so?” The bartender placed another glass of wine in front of her, “Maybe you can? I actually just want to find a lady to taste the wine I made tonight. Our ideas match perfectly.”

    She pointed to the noisy dance floor next to her, “It’s too noisy over there, and it’s difficult for me to integrate. My friend arranged me here and asked me to wait for my inspiration muse.”

    Song Ji’an saw the other person’s face and sincere green eyes under the flowing light that jumped here. She was a standard Nordic girl, smiling brightly and generously.

    “My occupation is a bartender, but I’ve recently encountered some bottlenecks,” she winked at her, “If you’re willing, you can be the only audience for my works tonight.”

    Song Ji’an glanced at the two glasses of wine in front of her and nodded slightly: “Perhaps it’s my honor.”

    “My name is Ellie.”

    Objectively speaking, the wine that Ellie mixed was very delicious, even too delicious.

    After Song Ji’an took three or four small sips, she keenly felt that the taste changes became more and more complex, but she could still barely name the wines at the entrance based on her past experience. As she drank more, Ellie seemed to show off her skills and made the wine more and more complex. The movements on her hands were extremely complicated, and the flames slowly rising in the glass attracted the attention of many people.

    The only quiet little corner in the venue was suddenly crowded with people.

    “This is a whale song,” After Ellie’s words fell, the wine that was pushed to Song Ji’an suddenly burst into a low moan. It was the sound of flames and ice rubbing against each other, but strangely, it made people seem to hear a brief whale song.

    A burst of exclamations rang out around her, and Song Ji’an took a shallow sip.

    This was already the eighth glass of wine she had drunk. Her face flushed, and there was a little more confusion in her eyes.

    The taste of the whale song was a little bitter. Song Ji’an lowered her eyes and looked at the black and white blended wine. She hooked her lips and leaned over the bar, leaning close to Ellie’s ear and slowly asked: “Who sent you here? Valma or Hilda?”

    Ellie paused when she heard this, and then said, “What are you talking about?”

    “Is it Hilda? She doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would use such obvious tricks.” Song Ji’an ignored her answer and continued, “Is it Valma? It’s very in line with her character and behavior, but Hilda has her under control. How could she give her a chance to do these things?”

    “So, it’s still Hilda, right? Trying to disguise it as Valma’s handwriting,” Song Ji’an laughed, “Miss Ellie, what is your mission? Get me drunk or hold me back?”

    “Maybe it’s another mission?” Ellie simply stopped pretending. She turned her head and leaned close to her ear, “Like seducing you, to see if I can find some of your weaknesses for her?”

    A tiny light flickered in those green eyes, like a deep pool, filled with ridicule.

    Song Ji’an drank the glass of whale song, raised her hand and pushed her away, “Thank you for your hospitality tonight, it doesn’t matter what you want to do.”

    She didn’t care what Hilda or Valma wanted to do. When she drank Ellie’s third glass of wine, she noticed something was wrong. The other person’s skills were too superb, and the wine she made was surprisingly delicious. The subsequent glasses were even at the master level. Ordinary bartenders would hardly have this kind of technique. She absolutely did not believe that such an excellent bartender would wait by the bar to chat up a strange woman, and then contribute all her enthusiasm so easily.

    Song Ji’an got up and didn’t look back.

    Those deafening noises were left behind by her. Ellie stood behind the bar, with a look of surprise on her face. Then the phone in her pocket vibrated. She glanced at the name on it and went to the bathroom to answer.

    “Yes, I’m on the fifteenth floor,” Ellie said, “Oh, I just didn’t want to join, so I sneaked on the ship. I’ll get off the ship at the next stop and go all the way to Finland. If my grandmother sends a message, just ignore it.”

    “Oh, right, I ran into that girl named Song Ji’an in your negotiation target.”

    Hilda on the other side said: “You ran into her? She just went to the fifteenth floor?”

    “I ran into her,” Ellie touched her nose and said truthfully, “I may have caused you some trouble. I had a happy conversation with her tonight, but she thought I was sent by you.”

    Hilda: “…”

    “What did you do?” Hilda asked keenly.

    “I just mixed her a few more glasses of wine,” Ellie said a little guiltily, “I just happened to see her and wanted to see what kind of person could make you fail.”

    Hilda took a deep breath and had already determined from her tone that she was lying, so she said expressionlessly: “Behave yourself, get off the ship at the next stop immediately, I will notify your grandmother to pick you up. If you mess around again during this process, I don’t mind throwing you off the ship.”

    “Don’t, Sister Hilda,” Ellie quickly begged for mercy, “I know I was wrong. If my grandmother catches me, she will definitely throw me to Greenland to feed the polar bears.”

    The response she received was a hung-up phone.

    Ellie sighed and scratched her head a little trouble, and then simply went back to the bar.

    Who cares, since she can’t escape no matter what, she might as well have fun tonight first.

    When Song Ji’an took the elevator down from the fifteenth floor, the alcohol had already begun to evaporate, and her brain became a little dizzy, but her sanity still existed.

    She thought about whether to tell Sheng Jia about what happened tonight, but her hand was faster than her brain and had already pressed the button for the eleventh floor.

    She didn’t come back to her senses until she stood in front of Sheng Jia’s door.

    She realized that this didn’t seem to be necessary.

    Although tonight’s events were strange, they didn’t actually have any impact on her or Sheng Jia. It was just a Nordic girl who had a conversation with her.

    But before she could leave, Sheng Jia’s door opened first.

    Sheng Jia behind the door had probably just finished taking a shower. Her long hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, she was wearing gold-rimmed glasses on her face, and she was wearing simple shirt and trousers.

    Song Ji’an was slightly stunned. She looked up and down at Sheng Jia, and finally asked curiously, “Why did you suddenly open the door?”

    “I heard your footsteps,” Sheng Jia replied.

    “Is that so?” Song Ji’an looked back at the thick carpet on the ground and subconsciously stepped on it twice, “There’s no sound, your ears are really sharp.”

    Before she could finish her words, Sheng Jia grabbed her and pulled her into the room. Song Ji’an frowned slightly, shook off Sheng Jia’s hand, but fell on the sofa because of the reaction force.

    “What are you doing?”

    Sheng Jia closed the door and brought a cup of sweet soup from the table and handed it to her.

    “What is this?” Song Ji’an looked confusedly at the steaming soup in front of her, feeling that the tip of her nose was shrouded in a sweet orange flavor.

    Sheng Jia leaned slightly and held one of her hands, placing the sweet soup firmly in her palm.

    “Hilda just called me to apologize, saying that her family’s close friend’s child met you on the ship and did something ridiculous, and hoped that you and I would forgive her.”

    “A close friend’s child?” A layer of drunken water mist covered Song Ji’an’s eyes, “So that wasn’t someone Hilda deliberately sent here?”

    Sheng Jia realized that too much alcohol intake might really affect the current level of intelligence.

    Hilda had absolutely no need to do such a superfluous thing to add to the trouble. If it were Song Ji’an in a sober state, she would never make such an outrageous guess.

    Sheng Jia could even imagine how embarrassed Song Ji’an would be if she remembered what happened tonight after waking up tomorrow.

    Oh, right, Song Ji’an will have amnesia after a hangover.

    Then she won’t remember.

    Sheng Jia’s eyes flickered slightly, and a long-lost sense of wickedness surged into her heart.

    “You’re saying that Hilda deliberately sent someone to the bar upstairs to seduce you?” She said amusingly, “What can she get from that?”

    “Then how do you know she’s not trying to alienate us?” Song Ji’an blinked while holding the sweet soup. She saw the water droplets falling on Sheng Jia’s hair and wanted to reach out and catch them to prevent them from wetting her shirt.

    “Why do you think this will alienate our alliance?”

    Song Ji’an blurted out: “Then if I take the bait, wouldn’t you suspect that I’m helping them? Wouldn’t our fragile alliance be alienated?”

    “But you didn’t take the bait,” Sheng Jia sat on the coffee table and looked at her, “Is it because the other party’s methods didn’t work?”

    “Actually, no,” Song Ji’an recalled and said slowly, “She was a very powerful girl, her bartending skills were very excellent, and she brought me a visual feast.”

    “Then why didn’t you take the bait?” Sheng Jia continued to ask.

    “There’s no why,” Song Ji’an took a sip of the soup and immediately felt a warm feeling in her stomach, “In this situation, every string in my brain is tensing up, how could I be easily attracted by anyone? It would be good enough not to be suspicious, the more excellent, the more suspicious.”

    Sheng Jia laughed, but paused slightly when Song Ji’an tilted her head, she saw a red mark on her earlobe.

    “What is this?” She raised her hand and pinched her earlobe.

    It took Song Ji’an two seconds to slowly realize what Sheng Jia was doing. Her whole body stiffened and she slapped Sheng Jia’s hand away, “Don’t touch me!”

    The overly Fierce reaction stunned both of them. In front of Sheng Jia, the place she had just touched quickly turned red, almost merging with the red mark.

    “You don’t let me touch you, but you let others put lipstick on it?” Sheng Jia frowned and said as calmly as possible: “The bathroom is over there, do you want to go wash it off?”

    “I don’t know when it was put on,” Song Ji’an put down the sweet soup and got up to try to pass Sheng Jia to go to the bathroom, but at this moment she suddenly realized that the two of them were sitting so close, even their legs were touching.

    She raised her leg and stepped over Sheng Jia’s knees. The mirror in the bathroom was large and clear. She saw the red mark on her earlobe almost at a glance. It was most likely that Ellie deliberately rubbed it on when she was chatting with Ellie.

    Song Ji’an wet the washcloth and wiped it clean, but she didn’t go out right away.

    She supported herself on the bathroom counter and closed her eyes, recalling the reaction her body had when Sheng Jia touched her ear.

    She reacted instinctively because she had just suddenly realized that she had no resistance to Sheng Jia’s touch, whether physically or mentally. This made her feel a little scared, and she instinctively wanted to push Sheng Jia away from her side.

    Perhaps it was the alcohol that catalyzed the hormones, making her difficult to control. This was understandable.

    Her brain was telling her that she couldn’t continue to stay in Sheng Jia’s room any longer. She couldn’t accept the strange atmosphere between Sheng Jia and her, which made her feel particularly dangerous.

    When Song Ji’an came out of the bathroom, Sheng Jia was already processing documents on the high table. She looked serious, as if she didn’t take what happened just now to heart. Song Ji’an breathed a sigh of relief.

    “I’ll go first,” she said, “If I can’t wake up for a while tomorrow, you can ask the butler to wake me up.”

    Sheng Jia didn’t look back, she only pointed to the soup on the table, “Drink it before you leave. You drank eight glasses of cocktails in a row, aren’t you afraid of alcohol poisoning?”

    “They were small glasses,” Song Ji’an retorted, “A little bit, it’s not that easy for me to get alcohol poisoning.”

    “Don’t say anything, if you don’t want to have a headache all day tomorrow, just finish drinking it,” Sheng Jia moved her finger on the touch screen, closed the document she had been looking at, and then looked at her, “A hangover headache plus the cold wind blowing from the Arctic Ocean, I don’t want to bring you on the ship vertically, and take you down horizontally.”

    “You…” Song Ji’an looked at her with some hesitation, but in the end she didn’t say anything. She walked over and drank the bowl of soup in one go.

    “You can say anything you want to say directly.” Sheng Jia looked at her expressionlessly.

    “Are you angry?” Sheng Jia asked her to say it, so she really opened her mouth.

    Sheng Jia: “…”

    “Why should I be angry?” She asked rhetorically.

    “How would I know?” Song Ji’an said, “Anyway, you look weird now.”

    “And very mean,” she didn’t forget to add.

    Sheng Jia: “…”

    Sheng Jia was speechless.

    She took a deep breath, smiled lightly at Song Ji’an, and said politely, “Then Miss Song Ji’an can go back to sleep after drinking the soup now. I wish you a good dream.”

    Song Ji’an nodded. The alcohol affected her brain, making her speak particularly bluntly. She snapped her fingers at the door and said with a smile: “Now you’ve become very polite, very courteous, and very hypocritical. A master of changing faces, I wish you a good dream too.”

    After saying that, she quickly opened the door and then used her fingerprint to open the door to the next room.

    Sheng Jia sat in place and rubbed her eyebrows, and then got up and walked out of the door. Song Ji’an really fell into a coma quickly under the influence of alcohol as soon as she entered the room, but she knew to lie down on the bed to sleep, but she only knew to go back to the bed to sleep, whether it was Sheng Jia’s door or her own door, she didn’t remember to close them all.
