That was the day when Chang Linsheng held the microphone and sang like crazy!
Han Shaojing listened quietly on the side without saying anything.
After sobering up, he asked Chang Linsheng, âIf you didnât want to get married, why did you agree to your grandfatherâs requirement?â
Chang Linsheng simply replied, âThereâs no choice, itâs my family duty!â
As long-time friends, Han Shaojing understood Chang Linshengâs helplessness. Although he loved to mess around, he was loyal to his friends and had a good reputation for keeping his mouth shut.
So, after all these years, he never told anyone else about this. Today, when he casually mentioned Chang Linshengâs good high notes, he didnât give it much thought!
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Chang Linsheng and felt a bit regretful.
He tried to change the topic abruptly, but Chang Linsheng suddenly reached out and said to Han Shaojing, âHand me the mic!â
Han Shaojing: ââ¦â
Yang Su glanced at Chang Linsheng, only to see him slightly lift his eyebrows. His eyes were as dark as the sea in the depth of night, unclear.
He said, âHey girl, Iâm not too familiar with this song and might not sing well, donât laugh at me!â
Yang Su coughed lightly and said, âDo you think I am as poisonous as you are? Besides, singing is supposed to be fun, if everyone sang like a star, what would be the point!â
Chang Linsheng nodded, âThatâs true!â
Yang Su pursed her lips, discontented and said, âYou know my name, why keep calling me âgirlâ? Donât you know what respect means?â
Chang Linsheng seemed taken aback, then smiled, âAlright, Miss Yang, the music has started, letâs focus on singing and not spoil everyoneâs mood!â
Yang Su: ââ¦â
She bit her lip and finally fell silent!
Tu Yanming and Gui Xi on the side were watching Chang Linsheng and Yang Su with keen interest.
Han Shaojing, however, was puzzling: Hmm, the two seem to know each other well! Is it really about having a good memory?
He caught Lu Yinchuâs eye, who turned his head, picked up a piece of mango with a toothpick, and served it to Nanxiâ¦a posture like âI am very busy right now, and canât be bothered with youââ¦
Han Shaojing: ââ¦â
Meanwhile, Chang Linsheng began to sing along with the music:
ââA familiar face in my dreamâ¦
ââYou are my tender harbingerâ¦
ââEven if tears cover the worldâ¦
ââI will not let goâ¦
â¦
The lyrics were intimate and Chang Linshengâs voice was pleasing. There was a depth to it with undercurrents flowing withinâ¦.
But why did his heartfelt singing always give off a bit of a solitary and unapproachable aura?
Just like how he was sitting there at the moment, isolating himself and existing by himself only!
Yang Su stared at him, to the extent that she forgot to sing when it was her part!
If it werenât for Nanxi nudging her, she would have had a huge embarrassment!
Though she was half a beat behind, she caught up and stayed in tune. After a few lines, she caught the rhythm!
â¦
In Nanxiâs view, Yang Su had a pleasant singing voice.
Usually, during their gatherings, she enjoyed singing, playing around, and was one of the typical microphone hoggers together with Zhang Mu!
But today, she sang quietly and earnestly, making the listener uncomfortable interrupting her serene soulful performance!
At the end of the song, Han Shaojing was the first to give a thumbs up, laughing, âI told you, Ashengâs high notes are incredible. Of course, junior sister Susuâs singing isnât bad either. In short, amazing!â
Yang Su smiled, raising her eyebrows, âOf course, itâs my signature song!â
Han Shaojing said, âDo you have any other signature songs, Susu? Let us know, sing another one!â
After pondering, Yang Su said to Han Shaojing, âThen you can cue âOnly Those Who Wrestle Will Winâ for me!â
Han Shaojing froze for a moment, âWow, I didnât expect that even young girls like this song. Fine, âOnly Those Who Wrestle Will Winâ it is, youâre right, if you donât wrestle, youâre definitely not going to win, letâs wrestle!â
Everyone laughed at his comment!
Chang Linsheng stood up, âI canât, need my nicotine fix. Iâll step out for a bit, you guys carry on!â Saying this, he walked outside.
Yang Su watched his retreating figure, a fleeting gloom filled her eyes!
When Chang Linsheng returned, it was almost twenty minutes later. Everyone had already sung a few songs.
Nanxi and Lu Yinchu also sang a duet, but Nanxi was a typical tone-deaf singer. It was a miracle to finish a song without being off key!
But what Yang Su was thinking about was, in twenty minutes, how many cigarettes did he smoke? Was he that addicted to smoking?
New drinks and snacks were served, and everyone stopped singing to continue drinking and chatting.
Nanxi noticed that the guys were relatively restrained tonight, probably because of her and Yang Su. The things men do at gatherings were well known. She felt a bit guilty and hoped that they didnât ruin their fun!
Their conversation mainly revolved around work. When Gui Xi was brought up, naturally Guan La was also mentioned.
Gui Xi shook his head, âYou guys know Ala, right now, she barely wants to see me. However, I get to see Dudou once a week⦠Iâll need to wear it down slowly till the right time!â
âSenior, Guan La must have a reason for treating you this way! Sheâs not the type to be unreasonable, right? Did you mess up something in the past, that sheâd rather marry someone else with your baby than to marry you? Huh?â Han Shaojing teased.
