A stylishly dressed young woman stood in front, holding a microphone, and sang in a hoarse voice: "...Your heart is clear, longing for true feelings..."
Lin Chacha, Lin Xiaoxue, and Lin Taozi all sang along, singing so enthusiastically it was almost unbearable to watch. Xiao An calmly drank her iced soda on the side, not even glancing at the TV out of the corner of her eye.
"It's really fun, just as good as a karaoke bar, it's just that there are no private rooms, otherwise it wouldn't be bad at all." Yan Xin was quite happy, and she decided that she would also request a song to sing later.
In reality, what is called karaoke is just a rural karaoke bar. People don't really know what "OK" means; they just know it's for singing.
As long as you're willing to pay, you can request a song, then grab a microphone and sing. None of us have much musical talent, but it's just for fun. Whether the song is good or not, everyone will applaud.
After the woman finished singing "Clearly Your Heart," Yan Xin requested a song called "I Want a Home." Actually, she wanted to sing "Blue and White Porcelain," but that song hadn't been released yet, so she couldn't request it. Luckily, she had recently learned the song "I Want a Home."
There was someone else ahead of Yan Xin who had ordered before her, so she had to wait until that person finished singing before it was her turn.
"...Don't worry about how it will end in the future..." This is a song called "Parting at the River," which was a very popular song in this region.
"Sister, sister, I want to sing too!" Lin Chacha pleaded with Lin Xiazhu.
"What are you going to sing? Congratulations or the national anthem?" Lin Xiazhu asked expressionlessly. If it weren't for the fact that there weren't many people in the karaoke bar tonight, she would have left with her people long ago. It's not a place for children to stay. And now this kid wants to sing.
"No, no, I'm singing 'Tomorrow Will Be Better,' I just learned it." Lin Chacha didn't notice her sister's strange behavior and just wanted to grab the microphone and sing a song.
“I also want to request a song. I can also sing ‘Tomorrow Will Be Better’,” Lin Xiaoxue said.
Lin Taozi was also eager to try. This girl was much more talented than her older sisters in singing. Seeing their hopeful eyes, Lin Xiazhu finally gave in.
"Let's sing together, the three of us will sing together later." Lin Xiazhu went to select a song.
After selecting a song, I heard Yan Xin singing: "I want a home, a place that doesn't need to be big... I want a home, a place that doesn't need to be too luxurious, a place I can think of when I'm tired..."
Tsk, she sings with such genuine emotion. Isn't she just looking for a home of her own? In fact, she does want to go home, but some things in this world have changed, and she can't go back.
She can't go to the capital. According to the trajectory of her previous life, she was born two years ago, in 1993. Now she is babbling and walking unsteadily. She has transmigrated. Will she be born in this world again?
She was genuinely uncertain, even somewhat afraid, feeling that things had veered off course and her life had long since gone astray.
Yan Xin felt down after leaving the karaoke bar. On the way back, she listened to Lin Chacha and the others chattering away, while she walked at the back with her head down, not saying a word.
Xiao An walked quietly beside Lin Xiazhu. The boy didn't say a word all night, just quietly kept them company while they went crazy.
"Is Xiao An Karaoke Bar fun?" Lin Xiazhu asked.
"I'll just go take a look." This meant there was nothing more to say; if he hadn't been there before, he wouldn't want to go at all.
Too noisy.
Seeing that there were no streetlights and the road ahead was quite remote, Lin Xiazhu called out to Yan Xin behind her, "Hurry up, it's just singing a song, why are you being so dramatic? Do you want to squat down and have a good cry?"
"...How can you be like this? I'm so upset, can't you even comfort me? Instead, you make sarcastic remarks. Don't you think I'm pitiful and miserable?" Is life easy for her?
"When will I be free? When you come of age, or when your three younger sisters all come of age?" Was that dream real? Will she really return to the future then?
I have absolutely no confidence; it's so frustrating.
"Alright, what's the point of thinking so much? So just like before, don't think about it. The more you think, the more you'll get stuck in a rut. You can't change anything anyway, so just live your life properly," Lin Xiazhu said helplessly.
"Sister, what are you and Mom talking about?" Lin Xiaoxue's eyes darted around quickly, sensing that something was off.
Lin Chacha lowered her voice and said, "Sister, Mom's confused again."
"Hmm." What else could Lin Xiazhu say? She could only let Yan Xin take the blame, otherwise how could she explain what kind of heavenly book they were talking about?
Back home, everyone went to their rooms, but Yan Xin suddenly ran to the rooftop. Lin Chacha had been watching her closely, worried that something might happen to her. When she saw Yan Xin go to the rooftop, she felt something was wrong and quickly went to call her sister.
"Sis, something terrible has happened! Mom ran to the roof. Do you think she might do something stupid?"
"What stupid thing could she do? She wouldn't jump off a building, would she?" Lin Xiazhu didn't care much. Yan Xin wouldn't die. She was bound by some rule, but in any case, she could only live for a certain period of time.
She didn't think Yan Xin would do anything stupid, like knowing she wouldn't die and still jumping off a building. If she ended up crippled or disfigured, things would only get worse. She couldn't possibly be so foolish as to harm herself.
If she really has a mental breakdown and does something stupid, it's not something she can control. She can't possibly watch over a living person every day.
But Lin Chacha insisted on taking her to the rooftop, so she had no choice but to go. When she got to the rooftop, she saw Yan Xin standing on the edge with her eyes closed and her arms outstretched as if she were flying.
"Mom, don't do anything foolish. Dad is gone, but we're still here. We'll grow up quickly and take care of you. I'll earn lots of money to support you in your old age. You have to live well." Lin Chacha rushed over and hugged Yan Xin's waist.
"What are you yelling about? I'm just getting some fresh air. Who said I'm suicidal?" Yan Xin pushed away Lin Chacha, who was clinging to her tightly, with a stiff face.
But Lin Chacha quickly clung to her again, hugging her tightly to prevent her from jumping off the building again. Lin Chacha was certain that her mother wanted to jump, even though she wouldn't admit it.
"Don't bother yourselves so late at night, go wash up and go to bed. I'll take you sightseeing tomorrow." Now that we've moved to the county town, we definitely need to get to know it well first.
After saying that, Lin Xiazhu stopped paying attention to them and went downstairs to sleep.
Yan Xin: "..." Although she didn't intend to jump off the building, she was really in a bad mood. Couldn't someone just talk to her?
"Cha Cha, you're still the best to me. I'll definitely treat you well if I have the chance in the future." Yan Xin meant that if she could go back to the future and see Lin Cha Cha again, she would definitely treat her well.
Alas, it seems that Lin Chacha from her previous life has already passed away. This is what Lin Xiazhu told her. Lin Chacha married poorly and her health deteriorated significantly. She passed away a few years ago.
Lin Chacha in this world is still alive and well, and with Lin Xiazhu protecting her, she should have a good life in the future. However, she doesn't know Lin Xiazhu and the others in this world, so she can't be nice to Chacha. She should be nice to her now.
"Mom, you're already very good to me, so don't take it too seriously." Lin Chacha was used to her mother being like this, after all, this wasn't the first time she had said this.
Whenever she does something for her, her mother looks touched and says she'll treat her even better. She's really out of her mind.
