Testing the Water (1)

After Shan Yatong left Xiao Youtian, he drove his BMW to the Bright Moon Guild Hall in the city. It was also the best entertainment venue in the city. After disembarking from the car, Shan Yatong entered the Bright Moon Guild Hall through the back door. At that moment, his phone rang.

The caller ID was Li Nan. Shan Yatong opened the cover of his phone and said, without waiting for him to speak, “I’ve already arrived at the guild hall. Which room are you in?”

“Okay, I got it.” Shan Yatong closed his phone and walked upstairs without the help of a waiter. He seemed to be very familiar with this place.

As soon as he knocked on the door, the door was opened. Li Nan came to the door with a bright smile. “Yatong, you’re finally here. It’s only you. You didn’t come with your assistant? No wonder he didn’t know where you were when he called your assistant.”

Shan Yatong glanced at Li Nan and smiled. “Director Li is in a good mood tonight.”

“That’s right. Li Nan isn’t his normal self tonight.” Xiao Qishen also walked out the door. He grabbed Shan Yatong’s hand and dragged him into the room.

There were nearly 20 people in the room. There was red wine and white wine on the table. The entire room smelled of alcohol.

Being pulled by Xiao Qishen to sit down on the sofa, Heavenly King Xiao didn’t realize how much of an ass-kisser he was being and asked, “What song do you want to sing? I’ll help you.”

Shan Yatong took the glass from the lighting master and smiled. “Whatever. I don’t care about this.”

Other than the film crew, there were also a few main actors present. When Luo Yanqian heard Shan Yatong’s words, he said, “Yatong, can you sing a lot of Senior Jing’s songs?” His tone was filled with anticipation. “Can you sing some of Senior Jing’s songs?”

Shan Yatong drank the wine in his glass and said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “It’s not just him. I can also sing yours and Brother Xiao’s. However, you already said that. Of course, I can’t refuse.” The wine glass was placed on the glass table; with a clang, he asked, “Which song do you want to hear?”

Wei Ming, who was standing by the side, had heard about the rumors regarding Shan Yatong’s lip-synching. Listening to the conversation between the two of them, she was certain that the rumors weren’t true. However, she wanted to hear how good he was for someone who hasn’t received professional training in singing Gong.

“Yatong is singing live. That’s great. Hurry up and sing,” Liao Ran excitedly remarked.

Li Nan sat in a corner of the sofa, drinking wine while observing Shan Yatong’s expression. With only a weak light left in the room, almost no one noticed that he was observing Shan Yatong.

“It looks like Mr. Luo really likes my senior,” Xiao Qishen smiled as he helped Shan Yatong to sing. It was as if he didn’t realize that his words caused Luo Yanqian’s face to turn pale.

After the song ended, the entire room kept saying “encore”. Shan Yatong wasn’t humble either. He smiled and accepted it, but the eyes of someone from a corner lit up.

“Good kid, he’s amazing!” Li Nan patted Yatong’s shoulder and said with a smile, “It’s been years since I’ve heard anyone sing this song so well. Come, let’s have a toast.”

“Li Nan’s praise is a little too much.” Shan Yatong raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp. Xiao Qishen, who was sitting beside him, looked at the two of them with a smile. He hid the doubt in his eyes. Li Nan rarely took the initiative to persuade him to drink. Today, he actually took the initiative to drink with Shan Yatong. What was he planning to do?

As if he didn’t notice it, Shan Yatong and Li Nan made a ruckus. Not long after, a few bottles of wine were empty. The people next to them began to jeer, and the director’s assistant even cheered for Director Li.

After drinking the wine, Shan Yatong’s face turned a little red. Xiao Qishen was infatuated. He looked at Shan Yatong’s moist lips and felt the urge to kiss him.

As he drank, Shan Yatong felt that something was wrong with his body and his brain became dizzy. He smiled bitterly. He had actually forgotten that it was Jing Anjue who didn’t get drunk easily, but this body.

“I’ll go to the bathroom.” Shan Yatong stood up and prepared to walk to the door. He had already forgotten that each room had a separate bathroom.

“Mu Yan, there’s a bathroom inside. Why are you walking outside?” Li Nan put down his wine glass. There wasn’t a trace of a smile on his face, but his tone was tinged with ridicule from his close friends. “Haven’t you changed your habit of not using the private room bathroom?”

After he finished speaking, he waited for the young man who had already walked to the door. However, there was no reaction. The young man didn’t seem to know that he was calling Mu Yan. He didn’t seem to have any reaction to the name.

“Aiya, Yatong, are you drunk?” Xiao Qishen saw that Yatong was wobbling as he held onto his waist and ate tofu. He turned around and said to the people behind him, “I’ll accompany Yatong to the bathroom. You guys take your time.”

He closed the door and cut off the noise. Xiao Qishen lowered his head and asked, “Are you alright?”

Shan Yatong placed half of his weight on his body and shook his slightly dizzy head. “It’s alright.” He turned to look at the closed door. It turned out that this piece of wood had this idea. However, this piece of wood had been forgotten. Even if he was drunk, as a person who was used to acting, he wouldn’t reveal his tricks.
