After the song ended, the surroundings remained completely silent.

A strange noise came from somewhere, and then the silence collapsed like an avalanche.

"The landlady sings so well!"

"Drink me to death!"

"I told you there are two kinds of people who can't get out of bed! This is what you two mean by not being able to sing well!" Lin Miaomiao shouted, "So this is Versailles, huh!"

Seeing Liu Yan's smile, Jiang Chao even whistled in response.

Hearing the shouts around her, Liang Zhirou suddenly remembered that there were other people nearby, and her face flushed with embarrassment.

With so many people watching, what am I doing...?

She hurriedly tried to let go of his hand, but Chen Lu refused no matter what, so she had no choice but to obediently hold his hand back and interlock her fingers with his.

Actually, she didn't really want to let go, but after finally finding the excuse that "I've already embarrassed myself anyway," she simply held on tightly.

Apart from Liu Yan and Liang Zhirou, all the other girls present were single.

So when they saw the two of them finish singing and were still gazing at each other affectionately on stage, someone suddenly couldn't help but shout:

"By the way, who made that suggestion?! Step forward!"

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Miaomiao scratched her cheek and quickly shrank back into the corner.

"Brother Chao, I know you're not convinced. Why don't you sing a song with Sister-in-law Liu Yan?" Xiao Jie mustered up her courage and urged him.

The environment has this power; under the atmosphere of a karaoke bar and dazzling lights, the atmosphere quickly becomes cheerful.

"Damn it, I'm definitely coming! It's my girlfriend's birthday today, I can't let him get away with all the show-off stuff, can I?"

Jiang Chao stood up, took the microphone, and gestured with his chin toward Liu Yan, "Let's sing something difficult!"

Liu Yan looked at him with a teasing gaze, pondered for a moment, and then said seriously, "Let's go with 'Love in the Rain'."

......

"Are you happy?" Chen Lu whispered in Liang Zhirou's ear, then suddenly gave her a light kiss on her slightly warm earlobe.

Liang Zhirou shivered, gave him a reproachful yet tender look, and then nodded almost imperceptibly.

Her cheeks are still burning.

"Your performance during the live stream, combined with what you just did, has already met the criteria for bonus points," he said softly.

"Really?"

Chen Lu nodded slightly. "You're just two points away from passing. Keep up the good work."

"It's so hard..." Chen Lu kept speaking close to her ear, and the constant warmth from his breath made her feel weak all over. She nestled in Chen Lu's arms like a lump of mud.

What reward would you most like after collecting all the Dragon Balls?

"You know perfectly well what I want most..." Liang Zhirou muttered softly. The two of them had been arguing about this issue countless times. Chen Lu just liked to ask again and again. She didn't want to say it directly; it was too embarrassing.

Chen Lu reached out and rubbed the girl's soft belly. "How could I possibly know? I'm not a tapeworm in your stomach."

Liang Zhirou snuggled into his arms like a cat, and couldn't help but whimper, "You're bullying me..."

After a while, Liu Yan finished singing a song and started cutting the cake. Liang Zhirou was also called over by Lin Miaomiao to chat, while Chen Lu sat there quietly by himself.

Jiang Chao suddenly sat down and sighed as soon as he sat down.

"What?" Chen Lu asked with a look of disgust.

"Actually, I'm a bit afraid of marriage now."

"Your change from looking forward to marriage to worrying about it to being afraid of marriage is quite significant, isn't it?"

Jiang Chao had just taken out his lighter when he realized that there were girls all around him. He sat in the far corner before lighting his cigarette, the butt of which turned fiery red in the dim room.

After all, the air in a karaoke room isn't particularly well circulated.

He exhaled a long smoke ring and slowly said, "Maybe I really didn't think it through enough before. Marriage is not a small matter."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lu looked up at Liang Zhirou, who was chatting and fidgeting with her fingers in the corner of the sofa. Seeing the girl speaking softly with her head down, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Isn't it great? You probably haven't had enough fun yet."

“You’re not old enough yet, you haven’t reached that critical point, so you won’t have so many concerns,” Jiang Chao said very seriously. “The responsibility this thing represents is not that simple. There’s a wife, children, and parents on both sides, which is a total of three families. It’s too heavy. I feel that I don’t have the ability to do it right now.”

Chen Lu then realized, "So that's what you've been worrying about."

Jiang Chao nodded slightly, glanced at Liu Yan, and quickly looked away.

"In other words, it might be because I'm not ready yet. Let's wait another two years, and by then I'll be twenty-five, which isn't too late."

He didn't seem to be seeking any advice; he was just venting his frustrations. After he finished speaking, he got up and walked to the middle, saying, "Come on, let's start!"

......

"How can you drink so much?" Lin Miaomiao glanced at her half-empty bottle, then looked up at the completely empty bottle in front of Liu Yan, looking as if she had seen a ghost.

"I had to socialize, so I practiced it." Liu Yan shrugged helplessly. "It's because you guys have such low alcohol tolerance. I only got here after accompanying Jiang Chao to a social event."

"I feel like you can drink more than him."

"Yeah, so I'm usually the one who drinks for this guy."

Liang Zhirou listened to their conversation from the side, blinking her bright eyes thoughtfully.

Because Chen Lu doesn't act like a leader in private and is one of the few males in the room, he naturally became the target of being forced to drink.

After downing a beer, I saw Liang Zhirou slowly walking over.
