Chapter 62: You're Gentle and I'm Naive

  She was originally a KTV song master on starry nights, and after rebirth, her voice became even better, and she also received her grandmother's orthodox training, making her truly stunning.

  The starry night has finished singing, but no one applauds or speaks. Everyone maintains a listening posture, as if they have entered the realm of the song and haven't come out yet. "Too beautiful" is what everyone thinks in their heart.

  "There's no need to be so exaggerated," Xīng Yè said with a bright smile.

  "Wow, Starry Night, you sang so well!" Chu Yuanyuan exclaimed first, "I've never heard such a good voice before."

  Everyone also says it's better than a song star singing. The boy asks what song this is, why haven't I heard of it if it sounds so good?

  The starry night heart way, indeed Wang Fei has not sung it yet, but was preempted by herself. However, she did have early preparation, the starry night explained "This 'again see kitchen smoke' is an old song, like Teresa Teng, or Korean singer Baek A-yeon, many singers have covered it before."

  Dong Ping sighed: "Even if it's a singer, I'm afraid they can't sing as well as Luo Xingye. He can attract us into the realm of expression in his songs, and I've never experienced that with any other song."

  Dong Ping's words were unanimously recognized by everyone, and many people said that Luo Xingye, you can go to be a singer, you will definitely become popular.

  Jia Luo heard people praising Xing Ye all night, and he was so pleased with himself that it seemed as if they were praising him instead. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but say: "What's the big deal? Xing Ye is also quite skilled at singing operas."

  Everyone listened and could still sing opera, they all cheered and asked Xing Ye to sing a piece, with great enthusiasm.

  Xing Ye gave a white-eyed glance at the silly-smiling Jia Luo, this guy would only cause trouble.

  "If everyone is happy, then it can't just be me talking. Why don't we take turns performing a program? For example, let Lu Xuechang go first, what do you think?" Xing Ye quickly shifted the topic to Lu Chuan's body.

  The words of Xīn Yè immediately got a response from the girl, successfully diverting attention away from himself.

  Lu Chang looked at the smiling little fox-like Xing Ye, and couldn't help but feel a bit resentful. This girl didn't want to sing, so she pulled herself down, did she want to see herself make a fool of herself?

  "Just now Luo Xingye let us know what is called heavenly music, so I shouldn't make a fool of myself again. However, since everyone is so enthusiastic, I don't want to refuse either. Let me recite a short poem for you," Lu Chuan stood up steadily and said with his magnetic male voice, then he recited a segment of Xu Zhimo's "Accidental".

  I am a cloud in the sky

  Sometimes cast a shadow on your ripple...

  Don't be surprised

  No need to be happy...

  Vanished in an instant.

  We met on the dark sea at night.

  You have your way, I have mine.

  It's good that you remember too

  It's better if you forget

  The light of mutual understanding shines at this gathering!

  Wow, all the girls were in a trance-like state, Lu Jing's gaze swept over each girl, making them feel as if he was reciting for himself alone.

  Even on a starry night, one can't help but admit that Lu Cheng is perfect in every way, whether it's his voice or expression. He seems to be born for the spotlight and always manages to show off his best side. Looking around at the infatuated young girls with stars in their eyes, if I hadn't accumulated a decade of life experience, wouldn't I also be gazing at Lu Cheng with an equally infatuated expression?

  Boys don't have such a strong reaction, and the charm of Da Shuai Ge on the road hasn't reached the point where it can kill both men and women. People like Dong Ping who know that this is Xu Zhimo's poem can still appreciate it, while people like Jia Luo who run around all day can't even understand the poem recited by Lu Xun.

  "What's he carrying on his back? I don't understand." Jialuo asked Tengfei, who was also on the basketball team.

  Teng Fei shook his head, looking at the girls on the other side who were all in a state of infatuation. He said, "I don't know either, but it seems like the girls really like this set. It must be some kind of trick to pick up chicks. I'll go practice and maybe I'll have some girls fall for me too!"

  Lu's smooth recitation received a warm welcome from the girls, and Lu smiled as he sat back down. However, after his high-profile performance with Xing Ye, no one else dared to come forward and perform.

  However, due to these two small interludes, everyone's atmosphere became even more lively, and later on, many boys and girls swapped seats, with laughter growing louder.

  Chu Yuanyuan pulled Xing Ye together to go to the bathroom.

  "Have you called Wang Yu Jiao?" Xing Ye asked Chu Yuyuan in front of the washbasin, leaving this matter to Chu Yuyuan.

  "Don't mention it, I just said a word and she almost spat on my face, with an attitude as if we were sworn enemies. If you didn't know better, you'd think we had some deep-seated grudge against her." Chu Yuyan said indignantly, "She's being so nice and considerate to us, but she still acts like this, it's really unbearable. 'Starry Night' is just being kind-hearted, inviting her to join us, if she really came, would we be able to enjoy ourselves? Just looking at that cold face of hers makes me lose my appetite."

  "That's it, forget about it then. I won't bother with her from now on." Originally, Xīng Yè still wanted to make amends, and there wasn't any unresolved conflict between them; they were classmates after all, no need to become enemies. Taking this opportunity to talk things through was a good idea, but unexpectedly the other person didn't appreciate it at all. Xīng Yè's consistent principle is that I should do what I can, and I've made an effort. If you still won't forgive me, then I won't force it."

  "Who else hasn't... The words of last night are still unfinished."

  The door of the bathroom was opened by someone and a young figure walked in.

  What a coincidence, it was actually the school flower Qian Meixuan. She saw Xing Ye and the other person and was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered, probably also knowing that they were students from the same school, and nodded her head.

  "Is it Mei Wan?" Chu Yuyun said as soon as she came out of the restroom.

  "She should also be here for dinner, right? This restaurant is close to school, it's inevitable that classmates will come over." Xing Ye said.

  "I heard that..." Chu Yuanyuan lowered her voice, and Xing Ye had to lean in close to hear what she was saying.

  "Luoxing Ye, wait a minute." A soft and gentle female voice came over.

  It was Qian Meiyuan who chased out of the bathroom and stopped Xingye.

  Qian Meiyuan looked at herself in surprise with Xing Ye and Chu Yuanyuan, and hurriedly introduced herself, "My name is Qian Meiyuan, I'm from Class 2 of Senior Three. We're classmates."

  "Xīn yè diǎn diǎn tóu wèn dào: 'Qián xué jiě, nǐ yǒu shén me shì ma?'"

  Translation:

  "Starlight nodded and asked, "Qian Xue, is there something on your mind?""

  Qian Meiwan glanced at Chu Yuyuan and whispered: "Can Luo Xingye have a few words with you alone?"

  Thinking of her relationship with Lin Yan at night, I was afraid that what she wanted to say would have something to do with Lin Yan, so I said to Chu Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, I'll chat with Qian Xue for a while, you go back first."

  Chu Yuanyuan was both worried and curious, but since Xing Ye had said so, she didn't have a reason to stay behind. "Mm," Chu Yuanyuan took another look at Qian Meixian before turning around and heading back to her room first.

  "Qian Xuejie, what's on your mind? Just say it." Xing Ye looked at Qian Meiyan's gaze wandering over her body, but she didn't speak up, so she asked proactively.

  "Ah" Qian Meiyuan withdrew her gaze, considering how to speak up. Seeing that she could stand calmly and confidently in front of herself, she knew that this was a girl with her own opinions, beautiful appearance, fashionable dress, and if the watch on her wrist was genuine, then her family background should also be quite good. In that case, it wouldn't work just by saying a few nice words, so she had to be careful in responding!

  "I came specifically to apologize to you." Qian Meiyuan said softly.

  "Apologize? What are you talking about, Qian Xue? I don't understand, specially? Are you here at the Four Seas Restaurant just to find me?" Xing Ye smiled and said, but in her heart she was also shocked. She wasn't here for Lin Yan, so who could it be...

  "No, that's not it. I'm also here to eat, and I specifically called out to you when I saw you." Qian Meiyan didn't expect a single sentence to be seized upon by Xing Ye, fortunately she didn't seem to be intentionally picking a fight, and didn't continue saying anything.

  "Actually, I'm here to apologize on behalf of Jin Weiwei. She's been feeling terrible these past two days, regretting what she did. She's just a naive kid who doesn't know any better. Please don't hold it against her, I've already talked to her and she realizes her mistake now. Really, can you please forgive her?" Qian Meiyuan looked at Xing Ye with big, watery eyes, pleadingly, her voice trembling on the verge of tears, as if they would fall at any moment if Xing Ye didn't agree.

  If a man were stared at by her like that, he would probably offer his heart with both hands. Xing Ye thought to herself.

  Under the starry night, she couldn't help but take a closer look. This girl was only seventeen or eighteen years old, yet she already had a full-fledged womanly charm. It wasn't hard to imagine that in a few years, she would definitely grow into a perfect and exquisite woman. Such a woman's elegance and allure were deeply ingrained in her bones, and she would use her natural advantages to gain people's favor. She could manipulate men and women of all kinds to do her bidding, yet remain forever detached, maintaining a flawless image.

  In the starry night, I have a love-hate feeling towards this kind of woman. In my past life, she had also imitated this kind of woman, but some things are innate, and no matter how well you imitate them, when you meet the real one, you will still be defeated.

  This girl with a troubled life may have been able to better understand such skills because of her poor life, in order to protect herself or get what she wants.

  But all of this seems to have no effect on Xing Ye!

  Lu Chang and Jia Luo came together, probably because they heard Chu Yuanyuan say something.

  "What's wrong?" Lu asked Qian Meiyan, they were relatively familiar with each other.

  Qian Meiyan saw Luochuan and Jialuo coming over, her expression softened by three points, and she said softly: "It's okay, it's okay."

  Luocheng looked up at the starry night sky, and even Jialuo had an expression as if he wanted to say something under the stars.

  On a dark starry night, you pout and say it's nothing, but with such a sorrowful tone, the feeling is that you've been wronged and don't want to say, and I'm the one who's having a hard time for you. I thought to myself, fine, you can pretend to be weak, and I'll play dumb.

  "Hurry up and frown, saying: "How can nothing be wrong? Qian Xue's sister is getting more and more sad, but I don't understand what she's saying. She says to apologize, and then says that Jin Weiwei is very sad and regretful, and then asks me to forgive her. What should I forgive? I haven't been coming to school for the past few days because of my illness, today is the first day I came back to class, did something happen in the past few days? I don't know, Qian Xue's sister, can you say it again?"

  Staring with a pair of big eyes in the dark night, she didn't blink and kept looking at Qian Meiyuan, as if afraid to miss a single word she said.

  Luocheng listened to Xingye say this and also looked at Qian Meiyuan.

  Qian Meiwan saw that the three of them were staring at her, and she said in a soft voice: "Really, there's nothing going on. I just heard from Weiwei that she had some conflict with Luo Xinye, you know what kind of personality Weiwei has, she's not a bad person. I'll apologize to Luo Xinye for her, they're all classmates and live in the same dormitory, so they should get along well."

  Qian Meiyan has a style of helping friends in trouble, regardless of her own sacrifice. Xing Ye's heart is secretly angry at night, you only say that we are quarreling, which means both of us have responsibility, why don't you mention Jin Weiwei finding someone to intercept me? Isn't it obvious that you're biased?

  So, Xing Ye deliberately pouted her mouth, furrowed her brow, thought for half a day, and then with a face full of confusion, said: "I don't have anything going on with Jin Weiwei? I don't remember having any disputes? How did Qian Xuejie Jin Weiwei tell you?"

  "Oh" Lu Chang looked up at the starry night and asked Qian Meiyan, "What contradiction did Jin Weiwei say?"

  Qian Meiyan's expression became even more helpless, as if Lu Cheng's questioning was a betrayal and hurt to her.

  Staring at Lu Chun's helpless face under the starry night, huh, this is interesting, the relationship between these two is worth studying!
