Chapter 162: Ambiguity and Joy on New Year's Eve
After a few drinks, the atmosphere became tense and the situation was out of control for a while.
Qin Chuan and Wu Yichen started the "embarrassing story replay mode": one said that he held the microphone tightly last year as if he was glued to 502, and the other revealed that the other lost a bet and had to imitate a cat's meow with a meow sound at the end.
Zhong Jie was frantically finishing off the opponent on the side, and Si Yan occasionally interjected a "poisonous" comment, such as: "Is that called singing Qin Chuan? That's called running away from home." The whole audience laughed so hard that they slammed their table.
Su Nian smiled and covered Si Yan's mouth: "Stop talking! It's New Year's Day, so be more reserved."
Zhong Jie, with his sharp eyes, immediately caught this little action and started to tease, "Hey, hey, hey, those couple over there, please be careful about the impact! It's forbidden to give out 'sweet bombs' in public places! There are so many single people in this room!"
As he spoke, his eyes swept meaningfully over Qin Chuan, Wu Yichen, Liu Zhihao and others, causing everyone to burst into laughter again.
Wu Yichen and Li Yue even cooperated by making exaggerated movements of "being hit by an arrow", and the laughter in the private room almost overflowed out of the door.
After dinner, they went to KTV, where Si Yan and Su Nian were forced to sing love songs together.
The two of them held the microphone like a hot potato, the tune was lost, and the crowd really didn't listen.
When Si Yan sang the high notes, the baby in Su Nian's belly kicked suddenly. She laughed until tears came out: "It's over, the fetus is protesting, the singing is so bad that even Baoer can't stand it!"
Si Yan remained calm, putting down the microphone and even trying to make amends: "It's okay, our Bao'er is just keeping the beat, but the rhythm is a little off, it's a 'personalized accompaniment'."
The baby in my belly felt extremely embarrassed - Daddy, you misunderstood, you and my mom are really not good at singing!
"Professor Si, I finally found something you're not good at!" Lin Feier gloated openly on the side. Today, taking advantage of the fact that there were so many people around, she wanted to do whatever she wanted. Normally, she wouldn't dare to laugh at the professor even if she had the courage!
The next song "I Want to Sing to You" was Fei'er's turn. As soon as she took over the microphone and started singing, the originally noisy box suddenly became so quiet that you could hear the sound of someone swallowing.
Qin Chuan crushed the melon seed shells in his hand and whispered to Wu Yichen, "Oh my god! Sister Fei'er's voice must have been kissed by an angel. I thought it was the original singer just now!"
What's even more amazing is that Liu Zhihao silently took the microphone. As soon as the male voice came out, Wu Yichen immediately burst out laughing: "Zhihao, you are so good at hiding it! Not only is your costume design good, but your singing skills are also first-class!"
At the end of the song, Qin Chuan took the lead and said, "We must toast! If we don't, we'll be doing a disservice to this divine chorus!"
Fei'er's face flushed like a candied haws. Liu Zhihao poured the wine quickly and swiftly. Although they didn't clink glasses, he drank quickly, emptying the bottle as soon as the glasses touched. And that little smile on his face clearly showed his attitude.
Fei'er accidentally choked and coughed, and he naturally patted her back and said gently, "Drink slowly, no one is competing with you."
Seeing this, Li Yue muttered to herself: It's over, it's over, it turns out Teacher Zhihao likes "sweet girls who can sing"! I'm destined to lose to this non-er girl!
Someone blew a whistle first, and instantly the whistles echoed everywhere. Qin Chuan also shouted, "At this rate, I guess we'll have kids by next New Year's Eve, right? I'll reserve the best man position first!"
Unexpectedly, this New Year's Eve gathering brought together a couple.
The next song was a sad one ordered by Li Yue. She held the microphone and sang softly, with a hint of melancholy in her voice.
This song directly represents her mood at the moment. Some are happy while others are sad!
Qin Chuan immediately became possessed by his acting spirit, dropping the melon seeds and clapping his hands to the beat. Wu Yichen quietly handed him a glass of wine, and the three of them tacitly formed the "Singles Front Alliance."
Li Yue swallowed it all in one gulp, and instantly felt relieved: With these two funny guys around, why would I bother with heartbreak? Just laugh it off! The little emotion in her heart immediately dissipated.
Su Nian leaned on the sofa and ate the fruit that Si Yan fed her, seeing through everything.
She couldn't help but laugh in her heart: in order to help Li Yue to get together, she and Fang Xia asked Liu Zhihao all kinds of questions, from "Do you like to eat coriander?" to "What color socks do you usually wear?", but in the end, he just didn't like her.
Now it is Fei'er's singing that directly moves people's hearts - wow, what a wonderful fate!
As they were arguing, Zhong Jie looked at his watch and suddenly slammed his hand on the table. He then jumped up as if he'd been pricked by a needle, "Holy crap! It's only three minutes until midnight! Stop eating sunflower seeds! Save them for next year! Quick! Line up for the countdown!"
He was frantically adjusting the TV screen. As soon as the midnight broadcast appeared, Zhong Jie took Fang Xia's hand and shouted first: "Ten!" His voice was as loud as a slogan.
Then a group of people followed, their voices in unison.
Fang Xia, who usually counts calories even when drinking milk tea and speaks softly, forgot about being elegant at this moment. She pulled Zhong Jie's hand and shouted, her voice eight octaves higher than usual.
Zhong Jie took a quick look and thought to himself, she has this side to her. Her voice is even louder than when my mom calls me to get up in the morning!
Fang Xia glared at him, as if to say, "It's New Year's Eve, why are you slacking off?" But the smile on her lips remained.
At this time, Liu Zhihao quietly held Fei'er's hand. Fei'er did not hide, but shouted the countdown number shyly.
"Three! Two! One! Happy New Year!"
Just as the last three words fell, the door of the box was pushed open with a "creak", and the waiter came in pushing a dining cart - the double-layer cake on the silver dining cart made everyone's eyes widen.
The bottom layer was a deep burgundy berry cream, adorned with juicy blueberries and strawberries. Atop the snowy white cream, tiny fireworks and lanterns were woven into a circle. In the center, a gleaming chocolate message read "Happy New Year," with the new year's number embedded beside it. Twelve candles flickered in the warm glow.
"Come on, come on, as usual, make a wish! Everyone gather around!" Zhong Jie pulled out a chair and greeted everyone. The warm yellow candlelight illuminated the expectant faces. Si Yan turned to look at Su Nian. The two smiled at each other, saying nothing, but tacitly interlocking their fingers and closing their eyes.
Qin Chuan saw it clearly from the side and coughed deliberately: "I say, can you two stop showing off your affection? The candlelight is almost blinded by your tenderness! I made a wish to find a partner next year, but don't let you influence me. The final wish becomes a bowl of dog food!"
Without even opening his eyes, Si Yan slowly replied, "Then stay away from us when you make a wish, so that you don't end up with a half-fulfilled wish where you only find a 'dog' and no 'partner'."
The whole room was filled with laughter again, the candlelight fell on everyone's faces, and even the air was filled with a sweet and lively atmosphere.
The group of people didn't disperse until after 1 a.m. When Qin Chuan left, he stuffed a strawberry in his mouth and shouted incoherently: "Come back next New Year's Eve! No one can be left behind. Anyone who doesn't come is a puppy!"
Wu Yichen said, "I'll definitely come next year, and I'll bring a companion. I envy you! Do you know what I wished for?"
"What wish?" Li Yue was also curious.
"My wish is: I find a partner and Qin Chuan continues to be single!" Wu Yichen said and ran away.
Qin Chuan chased after her and shouted, "I wish you gain ten pounds!"
Si Yan held Su Nian's hand and walked behind. Su Nian leaned on his shoulder and smiled: "Look at them, they are so old but they are still like children."
Si Yan lowered his head to help her straighten her scarf, and said softly, "That's good. Next New Year's Eve, we'll bring the baby and watch them continue to make trouble."
Su Nian nodded, feeling soft in the heart - this lively New Year's Eve, this group of unreliable yet most reliable people, are probably the little happiness in life!
