âYouâve never sung before, but youâve heard songs before, right?â
âYes, butâ¦â
âThen letâs give it a try! If youâre afraid of being embarrassed, Iâll sing with youâ¦â
When Chu Liyuan heard Jian Dan say that she wanted to sing with Zi Yan, his brows furrowed slightly. This lass really didnât care about anything else to help others!
Why was his lass so silly?But she was also so silly that she was so adorableâ¦
A sentence appeared in his mind: You protect the world, I protect you! This seemed to be a line from a movie and Jian Dan even said that the male lead in the movie was very handsome.
At the thought of Jian Dan praising other men, he felt very unhappy.
No matter what Jian Dan did, he would always be behind her and protect her!
âZi Yan, think about it. Do you have any songs that you like to listen to?â
âI like Hacken Leeâs âNever Change in This Lifetimeâ!â
âZi Yan, you like to listen to such old songs? But you do have good taste!â
âItâs because my father used to sing it to my mother.â
âOh, I see. Thatâs very meaningful! How about we sing this song then? Iâll order it.â
It was very rare to see Jian Dan sit in front of the song selection platform because she would never take the initiative to sit there. The other time was because Shen Jiaqi deliberately wanted to see her make a fool of herself.
As the music started playing⦠Jian Danâs hands that were holding the microphone nervously were covered in sweat.
Mengjiao did not expect Jian Dan to sing and she even chose a difficult Cantonese song.
As the prelude played, Jian Dan became increasingly nervous. She kept turning the microphone in her hands and taking deep breaths.
It was all for Zi Yan. In order for Zi Yan to be able to blend in, she had to go all out.
She closed her eyesâgritted her teethâand sangâ¦
âPfft!â
Sizhe did a spit take of the juice that he had just drunkâ¦
As for everyone else, they were also shocked although they were not as exaggerated as Sizhe. Even Xia Zijie was shocked. Although he had known Jian Dan for a long time, he had never heard her sing. Today, he finally knew the reason.
She closed her eyes, but she could still hear very clearly the sound of someone doing a spit take. Howeverâfor Zi Yanâs sakeâshe insisted on finishing the first verse.
âZi Yan, itâs your turn! You shouldnât be afraid after listening to me sing, right? Donât worry! You canât be worse than me! Donât worry and sing boldly!â
She watched as Zi Yan closed her eyesâtook a deep breathâand slowly sangâ¦
If she had not sung, nobody would have known. But the moment she opened her mouth, everyone was shocked!
This voice of an angel shocked everyone, including singers like Mengjiao and Zijie!
Just as everyone was mesmerized by Zi Yanâs singing, Jian Dan looked like she had nothing to live for and really wanted to crawl into a hole and never come out again.
Zi Yanâs singing was really good, but in Chu Liyuan only had eyes for Jian Dan. When he saw Jian Danâs face, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He pulled Jian Dan into his arms and gently planted a kiss on her forehead. Then, he gently said in Jian Danâs ear, âYour singing is terribleâ¦â
Jian Dan looked at Chu Liyuan with an aggrieved expression. Even Chu Liyuan looked down her. She did not want to live anymore! Boohoo! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBut I like it very much! Sing to me alone in the future!â
âHuh?â Chu Liyuanâs words caught her off guard.
She looked up and met Chu Liyuanâs smiling eyes⦠The next second, Chu Liyuanâs lips landed on hers. This kiss was different from the past. It was just a light touch, but it made her heart rippleâ¦
Because of Chu Liyuanâs words, a smile appeared on her face again. She finally felt⦠So what if she couldnât sing? So what if she was tone deaf? Uncle didnât mind. Did the thoughts of others matter?
At the end of the song⦠applause rang out in the private roomâ¦
Seeing Zi Yan sit back on the couch, Jian Dan went to her. âZi Yan, you can sing so well?â
âI didnât expect that either! Itâs passable.â
âHow is this passable? Itâs clearly very good, okay?â
âIâm sorry, Jian!â She had also heard Jian Danâs singing just now. It was really tragic. Jian Dan had made such a sacrifice for her, so she felt rather bad.
âItâs alright! Although itâs embarrassing, butâ¦â She turned to look in Chu Liyuanâs direction. âIâm quite happy!â
âHuh?â
âHehe!â She smiled sweetly at Zi Yan but did not tell her!
This was a sweet little secret between her and Uncle!
