Then he lightly patted Paul's shoulder and turned to Kyle with a friendly look in his eyes, "Let this handsome young man and his cool cat's drinks be on me."
Paul seemed somewhat displeased by this sudden interruption, but appeared to hold this man in some awe. He rolled his eyes and reluctantly waved his hand in agreement, "As you say, Diego." Paul grumbled unhappily to himself as he turned to prepare the drinks, leaving Diego and Kyle behind.
Kyle was curious about the sudden appearance of the middle-aged man, whose presence clearly changed the tense situation just now. Kyle relaxed slightly and nodded in gratitude to the man named Diego, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Diego."
Kyle was somewhat surprised by the appearance of this mysterious man, but also relieved by Diego's intervention. He expressed gratitude to Diego, saying, "Thank you very much, Mr. Diego. We were just passing by and didn't expect to encounter this kind of situation."
Diego flashed a broad and generous smile at Kyle: "It's nothing, young man. Facing difficulties is common in this world. Besides, I'm quite interested in the puff cat by your side." His gaze fell on Ray Jin, seemingly full of curiosity about this rare animal.
Every move Diego made exuded a casual elegance. He gently sipped the whiskey in his hand, seemingly savoring the flavor of every drop of alcohol. His expression appeared extremely focused, as if at that moment, there was only him and his glass of whiskey in the world. As the liquid slid down his throat, Diego closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, as if finding a certain peace of mind in this simple action.
The nearby Ray Jin also seemed to be drawn by Diego's actions, sitting up from its original resting state with closed eyes. Its two eyes stared straight at Diego, and the third eye located on its forehead slowly opened, emitting a faint light, as if observing the mysterious man in front of it with an extraordinary sense of perception.
Diego noticed Ray Jin's behavior and a slight smile appeared on his face. "Hmm, this Purr Cat seems quite special, it's very interested in me." He gently reached out his hand to touch Ray Jin, but then stopped, seemingly respecting the space of this little creature.
Kyle looked at the scene, feeling somewhat surprised but also relieved. He responded, " Ray Jin rarely shows such interest in people. You must be a special person, Mr. Diego."
Diego nodded with a smile and then turned back to Kyle: "It seems like you and this puff cat both have unusual stories. Tell me, where are you from, and why did you appear here?"
Kyle was just about to speak, attempting to confide his experiences to Diego, when Paul inopportunely appeared, holding a cup of juice and milk in his hand. He also brought a bottle of whiskey and placed it in front of Diego, as if it were a regular drink for Diego at the bar.
Diego was clearly displeased by Paul's sudden interruption. He waved his cigarette and with a slightly cynical tone, said, "Oh, Paul, didn't you see that I was in the middle of a conversation with this young man? Why do you always seem to lack a sense of occasion?" Although his voice carried a tone of reproach, there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
Paul expressionlessly placed the drinks on the table, intentionally placing the milk in front of Ray Jin and the whiskey in front of Diego. He seemed unconcerned by Diego's reproach, then turned and left, leaving Kyle, Diego, and Ray Jin behind.
Kyle looked at the juice and milk in front of him, and smiled somewhat helplessly. He apologized to Diego, "I'm sorry, Mr. Diego, that was unexpected." He took the juice and took a deep sip, trying to calm his emotions.
Diego shook his head lightly, indicating that it was okay. He took the whiskey, took a sip, and then said, "It's okay, young man. Now, you can continue with your story."
Kyle hesitated for a moment, realizing the danger of being pursued, and unsure if the man in front of him was trustworthy. He decided to carefully choose his words, "Actually... I just ran into some trouble and need a place to lay low for a while. I... I'm not a bad person."
Diego gazed at Kyle with a subtle sharpness in his eyes, "It seems like you've run into quite a bit of trouble, young man. This place is a melting pot, with all kinds of people. You don't have to reveal too much, as long as you're not here to cause trouble, you're welcome here."
Kyle nodded slightly, still feeling reserved towards Diego but also experiencing a hint of comfort. He glanced at the cat Ray Jin beside him, who seemed to sense Kyle's unease and gently rubbed his hand with its head.
Kyle drank his juice cautiously, silently pondering his situation. Diego appeared curious about Kyle's silence, as if his eyes could see into Kyle's worries. Meanwhile, the clever cat Ray Jin licked milk with its tongue, seemingly enjoying this simple pleasure.
Diego suddenly raised his glass and gestured to Kyle to clink glasses. Kyle hesitated for a moment, but ultimately lightly tapped Diego's glass. Both took a sip of their respective drinks, and Diego's action seemed to be filled with some metaphorical meaning.
Diego shook his glass and said deeply, "Young man, in this world, troubles will never be few. But the most important thing is, how will you solve these troubles?" His gaze was sharp and profound, as if digging for secrets deep within Kyle.
Kyle feels some pressure, Diego's words seem to force him to face his own predicament. He took a deep breath, hesitating on how to respond. Kyle knows that he is not only facing the immediate escape, but also the choices for his future.
He answered softly, "I... I don't know yet. I just want to find a safe place, away from all these troubles." Kyle's voice carries a sense of helplessness and confusion.
Diego nodded, seemingly satisfied with Kyle's response. He set down his glass and said seriously, "Sometimes, avoiding is not the solution to the problem. You may need to confront it in order to find a real way out."
A sense of emotion welled up in Kyle's heart. Perhaps Diego was right. Gradually, a determination flickered in his eyes. He knew he couldn't run away forever. Someday, he would have to face his own destiny.
