Diego suddenly regained his usual cheerful expression, and his face once again displayed the kind of smile that seemed to infect everyone around him. He suddenly stood up and walked lightly to Kyle's side. Kyle instantly felt a hint of unease, unsure of what this seemingly carefree middle-aged man would do next.
Diego suddenly slapped Kyle's shoulder, laughed heartily, and said, "Do you know what your biggest problem is right now? You're in a bar drinking juice!" His laughter was full of humor and warmth, seemingly trying to ease Kyle's tension.
Diego's laughter caught the attention of the other patrons in the bar, and they turned to look in his direction with curiosity and smiles on their faces. The bartender and the staff, including Paul, seemed accustomed to Diego's behavior and silently watched him with an understanding and tolerant look in their eyes.
Kyle was taken aback by Diego's sudden laughter and friendly pat on the shoulder, and he wore a slightly awkward yet grateful smile on his face. In Diego's presence, Kyle's nervousness seemed to be greatly relieved. He realized that even on the run, unexpected warmth and humor could still be found.
Kyle looked at this bold middle-aged man, and his guard slowly relaxed. He smiled awkwardly and replied, "I...I'm not used to drinking, and today has been eventful enough." His words carried a hint of helplessness and confusion.
Upon hearing Kyle's response, Diego showed a deep smile. He pushed the whiskey towards Kyle and said firmly and kindly, "Young man, sometimes life needs some changes. Since you've encountered difficulties, you should try something different, like... this good drink." As he spoke, he casually grabbed Kyle's juice, took a sip, and then placed the whiskey in front of Kyle again.
Kyle looked at the whiskey in front of him with some hesitation and embarrassment. He carefully said, "I actually haven't really drunk much before, and this whiskey looks expensive. I don't think it's quite suitable for me..." His voice revealed uneasiness and hesitation.
Diego, however, paid no attention to Kyle's hesitation. He gently placed his strong hand on Kyle's shoulder and encouraged, "Don't worry, young man, this drink is on me. Life is about trying new things, right? Come on, give it a try." His voice was full of courage and support, seemingly encouraging Kyle to step out of his comfort zone.
Kyle picked up the whiskey glass, his eyes flashing with a hint of curiosity and hesitation. He took a deep breath, trying to muster up the courage, and carefully brought the glass to his lips. As the whiskey touched his lips and tongue, Kyle took a small sip, but the intense alcohol taste and spiciness instantly exploded in his throat.
Kyle's face contorted instantly, his brows furrowed tightly, momentarily overwhelmed by the strong alcohol taste of the whiskey. He couldn't help but cough, tears almost rolling out of his eyes. His reaction clearly indicated discomfort from his first experience with such strong alcohol.
Diego looked at Kyle and couldn't help but burst into a hearty laugh. His laughter carried a hint of playfulness and warmth as he said, "Haha, young man, it seems you're really not used to drinking this kind of liquor! Remember for next time, take small sips, go slowly, don't rush."
Kyle's face turned a bit red, clearly feeling embarrassed. He wiped the liquor from the corner of his mouth, trying to regain some dignity, but still felt the burning sensation on his face. He nodded to show he understood, then carefully tried a small sip of whiskey, this time being even more cautious to ensure he wouldn't be choked by the strong taste of the whiskey again.
Diego looked at Kyle with a cautious expression, his smile revealing a hint of warmth. He raised his own glass and gently clinked it with Kyle's, saying, "That's it, take it slow. Life is like this glass of wine, it needs to be savored slowly." His words were full of wisdom, as if teaching Kyle deeper truths about life.
Diego's story was full of excitement and action, with each of his words carrying dramatic emphasis and intense emotion. He sat across from Kyle, holding a glass of whiskey in his hand, making exaggerated gestures from time to time, making the whole story more vivid.
Next, Diego picked up the wine glass and began to talk non-stop about his past achievements, exaggerated and funny gestures, as well as wild and absurd stories, all of which gradually eased Kyle's nervous heart.
Diego's voice was full of strength and enthusiasm, as if he could bring the audience into that thrilling space battle. "You know, young man, that time I almost lost my life at the hands of the evil king Javin!" His eyes sparkled as if reliving the passion of that battle.
Diego continued his story: "The destroyer of the evil king, the Devastator, was a well-equipped warship, loaded with the most advanced weapons and powerful shields." His voice echoed in the bar, catching the attention of other patrons.
"But I, I used a small trick." Diego's face revealed a cunning smile, as if he were sharing a thrilling secret. "I sneaked into the control room of the Devastator and with my wit and courage, set its course straight for Neo." His hand swept through the air, depicting the image of the spaceship hurtling towards the planet.
"At that moment, I jumped into the lifeboat, just like in a movie, escaping from the exploding flames." Diego's voice was deep and full of drama. "I watched the massive ship explode in Neo's atmosphere, that scene, I will never forget in my lifetime."
Kyle was deeply drawn into the story, his eyes fixed on Diego as if he himself was part of the adventure. Every movement and expression from Diego made the story come alive, filling Kyle with awe and curiosity for this mysterious middle-aged man.
