After a flurry of activity, Song Heping quickly pushed the girl away.
"No need, no need, it's okay."
The girl still looked somewhat embarrassed and said to Song Heping enthusiastically, "Then, can you give me a chance to apologize?"
"You've already apologized," said Song Heping.
The girl then smiled sweetly, "May I buy you a drink to express my apology?"
Before Song Heping could respond, she had already raised her hand and snapped her fingers, "Waiter."
The bar's waiter quickly came over, very politely asking, "Ma'am, what can I do for you?"
"Two more large beers."
"OK!"
After the waiter had left, Song Heping smiled, "You really don't need to be so formal, it was just an accident."
The girl enthusiastically reached out her hand, "Can I get to know you? My name is Niki."
"Jinny?" Song Heping could only reach out and shake her hand politely, scanning her briefly and frowning slightly.
Niki asked, "What's your name?"
"Song Heping."
On that point, Song Heping did not hide.
"Are you a tourist?" Niki asked.
Song Heping smiled, "Sort of, I came here to have fun with my company colleagues."
Niki then asked, "What kind of business are you in?"
"Private security," said Song Heping, "also commonly known as the mercenary industry."
Niki feigned surprise, her eyes widening, and after a long moment exclaimed, "Like those private mercenaries I've seen on TV? That's so thrilling!"
Song Heping just smiled, then asked Niki, "What industry are you in?"
Niki replied, "Modeling, but I'm not famous, just a small modeling agency, doing print ad modeling for others."
Song Heping said, "No wonder, you are so stunning."
Niki first laughed, then sighed, "Not necessarily a good thing."
Song Heping asked, "Why?"
Niki said, "It's easy to attract some lechers."
Song Heping, recalling how he himself had taken a few extra glances earlier, then said with a smile, "Ah... indeed."
Niki joked, "Maybe I should hire you as my personal bodyguard."
Song Heping said, "I'm quite expensive."
At that moment, the beers arrived, Niki paid the bill and tipped, then raised her glass, "Here's to my earlier faux pas."
Song Heping said, "You're too polite."
Nevertheless, he raised his glass and took a light sip.
Niki, seeing this, asked in surprise, "What, doesn't beer suit your taste?"
Song Heping shook his head.
But before he could finish shaking his head, Niki had already snapped her fingers again.
"Waiter."
The bar's waiter appeared once more.
"Bring a bottle of whiskey."
"OK, ma'am."
Soon, a bottle of whiskey was placed on the table.
"You're doing this because..." Song Heping asked, puzzled, "We can't finish all this."
Niki said, "Come on, I'll teach you a fun game."
While speaking, she picked up an empty beer glass nearby, then poured beer from the large glass into it, and after that took a small whiskey glass, filled it, and dumped it into the beer.
The strong liquor bubbled up upon hitting the beer.
"This way it has a unique flavor."
Song Heping said, "Mixing drinks can get you drunk easily."
Niki's expression suddenly darkened, the previous smile and ease disappearing.
"Actually, I want to get drunk."
She said, "I'm here because I broke up with my boyfriend, that stinky guy, he actually cheated on me behind my back."
Song Heping, surprised, said, "Such a stunning girl like you, and he still cheated on you?"
