Chapter 255 Reunion (4)
Singing is unintentional, listening is intentional.
When the men sitting on the sofa heard this song, they all put down their chopsticks silently, with different expressions on their faces.
Lin Zhou leaned back on the sofa, looking at Tian Xin's back, thinking back to the days when he couldn't see her. The pain was indeed as deep and untouchable as the song said. Even though they were inseparable now, how long would it take for her to say "I do"?
Lin Hai looked at Li Jing, who was bored and kept ordering songs in front of him, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Perhaps because he had already won the beauty, Gao Cheng was very calm. He looked at Gao Wen who was singing with Tian Xin in front of him with a face full of doting!
Only Zhang Shuai looked annoyed.
The bottles in front of him were all empty, piled messily on the table. He leaned back on the sofa with his arms folded, not sure why he was feeling this way.
——I am willing to do it for you——I am willing to do it for you——I am willing to do it for you——Forget my name——As long as you are sincere——Respond to me with love——I am willing to do anything——I am willing to do anything——For you——
The ethereal ending sounded on the last note, and Tian Xin opened her eyes and ended the performance. She had never sung this song before, and she felt that the lyrics were too straightforward and she really couldn't sing it.
But this time, she was actually immersed in it, and felt vaguely touched.
There was warm applause from several people in the room. She turned around and looked at Lin Zhou, her face slightly hot.
Li Jing came over and teased her, "Hey, you can actually sing such a blast. Are you using the lyrics to express your feelings to someone?"
"I think so," Gao Wen said, "Back in school, her favorite songs were by Faye Wong. Of all her songs, this is the only one I've never heard her sing."
“…”
"Is that so?" Gao Cheng took over the conversation and teased Lin Zhou: "Dude, this is where you're wrong! They've made it so obvious, why are you still sitting here?" As he spoke, he raised his head and said, "Speak up!"
“…”
Lin Zhou was still leaning on the sofa. After hearing Gao Cheng's words, he just smiled softly and didn't react.
After last time's experience, he knew Tian Xin didn't like this kind of public confession, as it would embarrass her. Furthermore, they had been together day and night for the past few days, inseparable, and he had heard her admit that she loved him, but just needed time. So why should he rush into this?
"A girl is singing a song, why are you making such a fuss? Just enjoy your meal!" He picked up a piece of barbecue and handed it to Gao Cheng, signaling him to stop talking with his eyes.
This move really surprised several people. Gao Cheng felt a little embarrassed when he heard him say this. After taking the barbecue handed over by Lin Zhou, he quickly turned his head and looked back.
Tian Xin didn't react much. Hearing people teasing her like that, she just smiled awkwardly and ran to order a song without saying anything.
But Li Jing thought her reaction was like being wronged. How could this be acceptable? Even at this point, Lin Zhou still had this attitude? She immediately exploded. Without a word, she walked up to him and slapped him on the shoulder: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you mute? Aren't you usually so polite? Speak!"
These words were somewhat like "disappointing iron but not steel", and the other people were all confused by her actions! Lin Hai quickly came over and pulled her away: "What are you doing?"
"It's none of your business, get out of here!" She shoved Lin Hai aside, intending to continue hitting Lin Zhou. Gao Wen and Gao Cheng, standing there in a daze, probably hadn't expected her to do this. Unsure how to persuade her, they turned their gaze to Tian Xin.
Tian Xin was very calm. When Li Jing shouted the first sentence, she stopped what she was doing, but still pretended to order another song. She just pricked up her ears and didn't move.
At this moment, she glanced at Gao Wen, Gao Cheng, Zhang Shuai and Lin Hai and saw that they were all looking at her, while Li Jing was standing in front of Lin Zhou with an aggressive look, as if a debt collector had encountered a scoundrel who refused to pay back the money and started a battle.
It would be hypocritical of her to pretend she didn't understand.
"What are you doing?" She walked over with a smile, glanced at everyone, and said jokingly in a light-hearted tone: "It's boring! It's just a song, why are you making such a big deal out of it! I don't even know who requested this song..."
"I...I ordered it," Gao Chengli immediately raised his hand and responded, "I wanted to sing it for my wife, but I didn't expect you to get there first!"
"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Gao Wen immediately followed up.
"Mistake, mistake..."
"What mistake? Are you stupid?" Li Jing turned her head and looked at Tian Xin, who looked nonchalant. "Let me tell you, he and I were engaged when we were kids, and it just so happens that our two families are interested in getting married. If you keep being so hesitant, I'll..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could this be possible?" Lin Zhou was visibly panicked and quickly turned to explain to Tian Xin: "That's not true. She was just talking nonsense. Please don't misunderstand..."
"I'm not talking nonsense. Ask Lin Hai, right?"
The pressure instantly fell on Lin Hai, and everyone's gaze shifted to him. This was a serious matter. On one side was a good buddy, and on the other... he couldn't offend them. No matter what, he would die a miserable death.
"Uh..." He took a breath and quickly exhaled, his words stuttering and knotting in his mouth: "It should... it seems... maybe... I don't know!"
"Do you want to listen to what you said?" Li Jing rolled her eyes and said in a frighteningly cold tone.
"Oh, okay. What's the big deal? I was betrothed when I was still in my mother's womb. Does that count? Stop it!" Tian Xin lied casually.
"Yes? Who?"
"Yes? Who?"
Lin Zhou and Zhang Shuai asked at the same time.
The anger now turned back to Tian Xin. Li Jing was about to explode with rage. She coldly asked the others, "Is this the point? Huh? Is this the point?"
Seeing that no one answered, she turned to Tian Xin again, and this time her voice was more penetrating than before: "Hey, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? He has chased us here and called several of us to set up such a situation. Do you really not know what's going on or are you just pretending? And you-"
She turned to look at Lin Zhou again, her eyes and tone full of dissatisfaction: "Everyone has helped you to this point, why are you pretending to be a grandson? Can you be more ambitious? Will you die if you confess your love?"
“…”
Lin Zhou's Adam's apple suddenly moved violently, and his face looked extremely unnatural. Tian Xin could even hear his rapid breathing.
Lin Hai and the others standing by felt even more embarrassed, and no one dared to interrupt.
How could this be a confession? It was clearly a massive forced marriage. The worst part was, before the male and female protagonists had said anything, she, a childhood friend and semi-close best friend, got excited first, even acting like a matchmaker, as if she'd be ready to tear this apart in a second if they didn't finally get married today.
Wow! Li Jing is awesome!
"So, he chased me here, called all of you here, and staged this whole thing, just to confess his feelings to me?"
