Chapter 21: The Legendary Bonding (Part 2)

  "Senior, that girl sings Chinese songs pretty well, don't you like Chinese too?" Kim Heng-joon was very happy. Muzi Qi liked Chinese, he knew that. Now, it's rare for junior high school students to learn Chinese, and even in high school and college, there are few people who study it. In his understanding, Zheng Xiuyan learning Chinese songs must be because of Muzi Qi.

  "Hmm..." From the beginning until now, Mokuzi Aki didn't dare to look directly at Yuri, instead he kept staring at the TV, even when Yuri was singing, he only glanced at her with the corner of his eye. He didn't know when he became like this, lacking the courage to even look straight at someone, let alone pay attention to other things...

  The music slowly came to an end, Zheng Xiuyan was quite satisfied with her performance just now, and the Chinese pronunciation was also in its best state in the past few days. She walked down from the small stage, sat back in her seat, and as soon as she sat down, she couldn't help but ask Mu Ziqiu, "How was it? The pronunciation just now."

  "It's okay, as long as you can distinguish between flat and sharp tones."

  "Oh." Zheng Xiuyan's tone didn't change at all. What she felt about this comment, only she knew.

  "Now it's your turn, sing a song!" Yuri snatched the mic from Zheng Xiuyan's hand and handed it to Muzi Qiu. Yuri still couldn't forget Muzi Qiu's wooden expression earlier. The three people present had all sung, leaving only Muzi Qiu.

  "Today, for the first time, Mokuzi Aki faced Yuri head-on. That deep-seated, rich chocolate scent that had been buried in his heart slowly spread over every part of his body. 'I...', a single drop of sweat as big as a bean rolled down from the right side of Mokuzi Aki's face, tracing along the contours, dripping into his clothes and disappearing without a trace."

  "I'm going to the restroom!" Mu Zi Qiu said, and suddenly stood up, rushing towards the door of the private room. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared outside the door...

  Inside the room, Zheng Xiuyan stared strangely at the door that was left shaking, her notebook tightly grasped in her hand, as if thinking about something; Yuri looked blankly at the microphone in her hand, hesitating whether to hold it up or put it down.

  "Earlier... Tae-oh, although he has a lot of musical knowledge, his voice isn't good. Later on, don't let him sing songs." Kim Heng-jun looked at, not Yuri, but Jung Soo-young, took a sip of soda, and spoke with a hint of request.

  Jung Soo-yeon heard Kim Heng-jun's words, but didn't show any reaction. She opened her notebook and continued to look at the Chinese lyrics inside, not saying a word. "Muzi Qiu, was it because of this reason that he said he wouldn't sing last time?"

  "Really? Is that guy's singing really that bad? I'm curious to hear it, just how bad is his voice?" Yuri seemed to have discovered a new continent or something, and instead of discouraging Mokuzu from singing, she became even more interested in his voice.

  "Yuri!" Zheng Xiuyan turned her face and glanced at Yuri, with only coldness in her eyes.

  "Really curious......" Yuri suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and goosebumps appeared on her chocolate-colored arm.

  Outside the door, Mu Zi Qiu didn't go to the bathroom, but instead stood at the entrance, leaning against the wall, taking deep breaths to calm down the suffocating feeling in his heart. Just now, his heart was racing like it was going to jump out! He really wanted to take over the microphone and sing a song that expressed his emotions at that moment, but his voice was truly unbearable...

  "Do you really want to hear? Are you curious?" Yuri's words in the private room, Muzi Qiu didn't miss a single word and heard everything, "Sing a song, what's wrong with that? Afraid of losing face? Is it?"

  With a determined look, Mu Zi Qiu adjusted the large black-framed glasses on his face and seemed to have made up his mind. He turned around and re-entered the private room. As soon as he stepped inside, he was met with three pairs of eyes staring at him, but his body froze, unable to move...

  "Ji Qiu, come back, I'm about to sing another one!" Kim Heng Jun smiled and picked up the remote control, flipping through the directory, seemingly carelessly taking over the microphone from Yuri's hand.

  "Come and sit down." Zheng Xiuyan looked at Mu Ziqiu and said lightly, but this light tone was not disdainful or perfunctory, rather it seemed to have put the matter of each person singing a song just now behind her.

  Yuri didn't say anything and just quietly drank soda, leaning her body to the side and looking at the catalog being flipped through by Kim Hyeon-joon, searching for a song she wanted to sing.

  Muzi stood for a long time, her eyes fixed on Yuri who was searching through the directory while drinking soda beside Zheng Xiu Yan. Just as Kim Heng Jun finished singing, she finally gathered up the courage to rush over and grab the microphone from his hand. "Heng Jun ge, I love that song the most!" After saying that, she walked onto the small stage, her head bowed and staring at the microphone tightly grasped in both hands.

  Kim Heng Jun was snatched the microphone by Mu Zi Qiu, at first he was stunned, and then a bitter expression floated on his face, flipping through the directory to find the song area, finding that song, pressing the number on the remote control, afterwards, the music in the speaker slowly started to sound...

  Familiar melody, familiar lyrics, yet at this moment in an unfamiliar environment, or rather, in front of "outsiders", Muzi Qiu didn't know why she had to grab the microphone, was it because she just wanted to hear herself? Or was it that she really wanted to sing?

  Although I know you're there

  But I couldn't get close

  ……

  "Blue Rain", the title track of their debut album, is one of Muzi's favorite songs. Muzi's vocals are really bad, and it's not just an exaggeration - the first two lines are very flat and the three people sitting on the couch can already hear the heavy noise! However, Muzi has good music theory knowledge, having learned from Lee Hyori at DSP since he was young. During his trainee days, Lee Hyori would sit in the back and quietly listen to the teacher's lectures, and because of her influence, Muzi studied very diligently despite having poor vocals since childhood.

  Afraid of being unable to comply

  When you left, I promised you

  "Muzi Qiu, your singing skills are great! However, this voice..." Zheng Xiuyan supported her chin, gazing at Muzi Qiu who was singing on the small stage.

  A promise not to cry over memories...

  This sentence represents the powerful black, jade bead-like high-pitched sound, which ordinary people can't sing! Only saw Mu Zi Qiu's head slowly rising with the slow-rising tone and slowly soaring up! In the end, Mu Zi Qiu's entire face was raised, and the microphone was also held to the top of his head! The voice also rose slowly with the slowly rising head, gradually climbing higher, finally, as if falling into the nine heavens, but this is not a swan goose, but a black duck...

  "How terrible!" was Yuri's first thought, but her face didn't show any disgusted expression, she just listened quietly, although the voice really sounded very masculine, but it wasn't to the extent of being noise...

  "This sentence, I didn't have the confidence to sing it, but unexpectedly, he climbed up so easily!" Zheng Xiuyan was very surprised. From this sentence on, she no longer listened to Mu Ziqiu's voice, but only analyzed his singing skills!

  "Senior's strength is indeed very strong, it's just that this voice, it's a bit disappointing. Sigh, I really feel sorry for senior." The two often mixed together in DSP, training dance and singing skills together, Kim Hyeong Jun was very familiar with Muzi Autumn's strength, which also made him sigh, heaven is indeed biased...

  "I really sang... I really sang..." Muzi Qiu's hands holding the microphone were shaking slightly at this moment, and under his large black-framed glasses, his eyes glanced sideways at Yuri, but Yuri's face seemed to have no change, only then did he calm down and continue singing.

  Harsh words from a deceitful mouth

  Can't erase your silhouette at all

  Because I know

  You always come back in my dreams to sleep with me

  The rain falling inside the umbrella

  Will never stop
