A minor accident at the karaoke bar
"Do you have time after school?" Song Zhao asked.
"Yes, I have."
"I'll treat you and your two best friends to karaoke, as a way of celebrating our reconciliation," Song Zhao said with a smile.
Nanqi was stunned when she heard this.
"What's wrong? Can't believe I'd go to karaoke, or can't believe I'd treat you guys?"
Nanqi and the other girl couldn't believe it, especially since they had been at odds just two weeks ago. They never expected that they would suddenly become so close that they could eat and play together.
Nanqi shrugged and said, "Nothing, I just felt bad for making you spend money."
She jumped up and said, "If we're going home together after school, you can ride in my car."
"Okay, but you'd better ride carefully, or you'll make me fall off."
"That's hard to say. My cycling skills vary, so it depends on whether you have the guts to ride with me."
Song Zhao chuckled twice, "Anyway, I'll pin the blame on you since I fell, that way your punishment won't be removed."
Damn it!
After school, Nanqi rode with Song Zhao at breakneck speed, leaving Li Jia and Duan Peng far behind. Song Zhao had no choice but to hold on tightly to her waist.
"How was it? Was it good?"
"Are you catching a flight?" Song Zhao squinted, unable to open her eyes due to the wind.
"Huh? Can't you hear me?"
"Slow down!" Song Zhao roared.
"Oh, slow down is fine."
When they arrived at "Friends Bar KTV", Song Zhao's hair was blown into a frizzy mess, and the stray hairs on his forehead were also in a disheveled state.
"You guys go in first, I'll go to the restroom to tidy up."
Nanqi hooked her arm around Song Zhao's shoulder and said, "What's with all the fuss? There are only four of us. It'll be dark in the private room. How will we be able to see anything?"
Upon closer inspection, Song Zhao realized that the three of them weren't much better looking than she was. Besides, Nan Qi was supporting her, so she couldn't walk. She took out a small comb from her bag and combed her hair a few times.
As soon as Duan Peng and Li Jia entered the private room, they let loose and started having fun. They took off their shoes and jumped around on the sofa, singing loudly and wailing.
"Let's go pick a song, what do you want to sing?" Nanqi said, pulling Song Zhao along.
"Jay Chou and JJ Lin's songs are both fine."
“What a coincidence, I also listen to them, let’s sing together.”
"Okay, sure," Song Zhao said somewhat reservedly.
"Class monitor, it's your treat today. If you don't have a good time, you'll be at a disadvantage."
Nanqi immediately played "Rice Fragrance" for her and handed her the microphone, saying, "Come on."
"If you have too many complaints about this world..." As soon as Song Zhao started singing, the three of them fell silent. They hadn't expected her to sing so well, and they certainly hadn't expected her to sing so earnestly in a karaoke bar.
"Sister Qi, how can she be so perfect? She's beautiful and sings so well," Duan Peng said.
"That's right, otherwise how could you be my friend?"
"Daqi, so you two have made up?" Li Jia asked.
"The four of us have made up, and she invited us here to celebrate our reconciliation."
"What about your sister?" Li Jia asked.
"After observing her for the past few days, it seems that it was that scumbag who was harassing her, and it has nothing to do with her. I misunderstood her."
“Then we attacked the wrong person,” Duan Peng said, leaning closer.
Nanqi felt sorry for Song Zhao, but she couldn't bring herself to sincerely apologize to him again. She decided to make it up to him later.
"I'll go pay the bill," Duan Peng said.
"Count me in," Li Jia said.
"Don't move," Nanqi growled.
"They're singing right now, don't spoil the fun. Can't you wait until you need to use the restroom before you go?"
"Tsk, we thought you were going to rush to pay the bill," Li Jia said speechlessly.
"I'm short on cash, I'll treat you to dinner next time."
After Nanqi finished speaking softly, the song reached its climax, and she took the microphone and sang along with Song Zhao, "Remember you said home is the only castle..."
"Wow, this sounds great!"
"Encore, encore."
Li Jia and Duan Peng created a great atmosphere, and Song Zhao also sang very happily.
"Let's have a toast together," Duan Peng said, raising his glass.
Nanqi pulled Song Zhao to her side, took a bottle of Beibingyang soda and handed it to her, "Here!"
"Let's celebrate turning swords into plowshares!" Li Jia shouted.
"Let's celebrate having a new friend!!" Nanqi said.
"cheers!!!"
The bottles of Arctic Ocean soda and Coca-Cola collided, making a clinking sound.
Later, they ordered a few more upbeat songs, and Nanqi insisted on dragging Song Zhao to dance with them. Nanqi had learned Latin dance in her spare time when she was little, and although she hadn't taken any certification exams, it was enough to fool people who couldn't dance at all. So she danced the male steps, leading Song Zhao in several spins. Song Zhao got dizzy and fell backward, but Nanqi controlled the rhythm, holding her waist and catching her steadily before moving on to the next move.
In the dim light, Duan Peng danced and accidentally bumped into Song Zhao from behind. Due to the inertia, Song Zhao fell forward, and Nan Qi took a half step back with her. Her knees accidentally hit the sofa, and both of them lost their balance at the same time. Nan Qi fell backward onto the sofa, while Song Zhao fell on top of her. To make matters more embarrassing, Song Zhao's soft lips kissed her cheek, almost touching the corner of her mouth.
Both were surprised and embarrassed, their faces instantly turning crimson. Song Zhao, supporting herself on the sofa, hurriedly stood up, and Nan Qi quickly sat down as well.
"That was an accident. It's my fault for losing my footing and not catching you properly." She lightly kicked Duan Peng. "You brat, Duan Peng, you better watch your step!"
Duan Peng was so engrossed in the music that he didn't hear what she was saying at all.
"Are you alright?" Nanqi asked.
Song Zhao shook his head. "No."
"Let's take a break then." Nanqi sat up and handed Song Zhao a drink.
"Um."
Nanqi knew Song Zhao was a little embarrassed, because she felt the same way, so she tried to break the ice by asking, "Have you ever seen someone balance a bottle on their mouth?"
Song Zhao shook his head, looking at her curiously.
"Let me show you something."
Nanqi stood up, turned off the music, picked up the microphone, and said, "Stop for a moment, let me show you my special talent!"
Nanqi smiled confidently and began her performance.
She first picked up a bottle of cola, put the capped end in her mouth, and then stacked another bottle on top of it, so that the bottoms of the two bottles touched. To keep them from tipping over, she swayed slightly as she did so. Once she had her balance, she let go, and the two bottles of cola stood steadily upright.
When Song Zhao saw her perform for the first time, his heart became tense with her every move.
Duan Peng and Li Jia were even more worried for her, because she had failed four out of five times when she tried to show off, and the one time she succeeded only lasted three seconds. Li Jia always thought it was just a lucky break. So when the two bottles stood up, Li Jia cheered, and Duan Peng went over and took the bottles from her.
"Wow, Daqi is amazing!!!" Li Jia exclaimed exaggeratedly. "Right, Song Zhao?"
Song Zhao's eyes lit up, and he looked at her with admiration, applauding her. "Great job!"
Nanqi smiled smugly and said, "Now you've seen it all, haven't you?"
Song Zhao nodded, giving a thumbs-up with both hands, "Mm!"
After having a great time for three hours, they came out of the private room in high spirits. When it was time to pay the bill, Song Zhao realized that the bill had already been paid. Song Zhao looked back at the three of them, and they pushed her out, saying that it didn't matter who paid, the most important thing was to have fun.
Nanqi rode her bike to take her home. When they arrived at the entrance of her residential complex, Song Zhao got off the back seat. As she was about to say goodbye, Nanqi spoke first, "Class monitor, I think you're a really nice person."
Song Zhao smiled sweetly, "I think you're great too, and your friends are great too."
"Hehe, I actually quite like you."
Song Zhao was stunned for a moment, and her cheeks flushed red.
"Why don't you believe me? Sigh, it's my fault for leaving a bad impression on you in the past," Nanqi said, slightly dejected, but then became spirited. "Just watch my performance in the future, and I'll definitely make you look at me in a new light. Bye-bye!"
"bye…"
