Chapter 51: S City Encounter 2

  Whatever they said next, I didn't listen to it anymore!

  Not long after, Zhuang Junfan returned and said that Yao Keman invited everyone to her bar to have fun. Everyone agreed, no one could help it, this group of people were crazy.

  After settling the bill, they drove their own cars to meet in front of Yao Kemeng's bar. Along the way, Ling Shan kept scolding Jiao Susu for her mistakes.

  This bar is one of the most famous art bars in S city, although it's a small capital emotional music bar, but every night is crowded, as soon as we entered the door, we were attracted by the whole bar atmosphere!

  We all know that Zhuang Junfan was discovered by a talent scout here in the past, so many classmates want to apply for a job here and one day become as famous as Zhuang Junfan.

  But unfortunately, there are countless professional singers, and the bar requires the best singers. As for me, a university student with no experience who hasn't even graduated yet, I don't stand a chance at all.

  Yao Kemeng reserved the seats closest to the stage for us, considering Zhuang Junfan's face, and specially allowed us to go on stage to sing.

  Classmates cheered and jumped up, eager to try out their own singing voices.

  Among the classmates, the first one to go on stage was naturally Jiao Susu. She was a proud and arrogant person who would never let others take the spotlight. Her song "Change Yourself" with its super strong rhythm stirred up the emotions of the entire audience.

  I unintentionally went up to sing a song, and quietly sat on the side watching my classmates play and laugh wildly.

  Ling Shan, not willing to fall behind Jiao Su Su, went on stage second to perform a song. English songs are her strong suit, so she sang Pitbull's "Timber", instantly energizing the scene.

  Then, two or three more classmates went up and sang their favorite songs. Someone shouted, asking Zhuang Junfan to go up and sing.

  No matter the strength and experience, Zhuang Junfan was definitely one of the most outstanding among our classmates. Seeing everyone's enthusiastic invitation, Zhuang Junfan stood up graciously, and a cheer erupted in the bar.

  He stepped onto the stage with big strides and told the band behind him a song name.

  Another Paradise... This is a duet!

  I saw Jiao Susu was about to volunteer to sing the female part, but Ling Shan quickly stood up and loudly called out my name: "Xiao Xian, you've never sung a song before, aren't you good at singing this one? Go ahead!"

  With Ling Shan's recommendation, all eyes were on me. I didn't want to go up at all and hastily shook my head. "No no no, I won't sing."

  Ke Zhuang Junfan was actually standing on stage holding a microphone and shouted out my name: "Xiao Xian!"

  This time, it's not just my classmates who noticed me, but the whole bar is paying attention to me. If I delay any further, it would be too impolite, so I can only muster up the courage and stand up.

  Since I started learning vocal music, I also have a lot of performance opportunities every year, but this time the feeling is completely different. I was so nervous that my legs were shaking, which made me more apprehensive than when the female ghost floated in front of me.

  At the prelude, I clearly felt tense, Zhuang Junfan put down the microphone and whispered in my ear: "Don't be afraid, just treat it as a regular practice lesson, you can do it!"

  I have no confidence in myself, but at this moment seeing the other person's warm and affirmative gaze, I feel more empowered!

  Isn't it just singing? I've studied for ten years, can't even conquer this small stage?

  I took a deep breath and under Zhuang Junfan's lead, I sang the song beyond its normal level.

  As we walked off the stage, a group of little girls rushed over to ask Zhuang Junfan for autographs, and I sensibly retreated to one side.

  Just as I was about to go back and find my classmates, a black shadow flashed in front of me, grabbed my wrist and went towards the balcony of a bar.

  I recognized his figure and didn't resist in order not to draw attention from others. When we reached a secluded area, I impatiently shook him off.

  "What's wrong? Don't you know to call someone by their name when something is up?"

  Shu An was still wearing the same outfit as before in the restaurant, with a look on his face that was similar to when I first met him in Baishan Town.

  "Who told you to go up and sing with that man?"

  He actually had the nerve to ask me this question?

  "Hey, joke, I'm a vocal major, what's wrong with me and my classmate going on stage to sing a song? Do you need to approve it too? Why don't you just go deal with your own little romance?"

  He furrowed his brow, pulled out an iron box from his bag. I thought he was going to take out some kind of secret treasure or magic tool judging by the size and appearance of the box. But instead, he pulled out a cigarette, lit it up, and looked at me with a cold slant: "You're not just being jealous, are you?"

  I chuckled and said, "Eat your vinegar? I'm not sick!"

  "As long as you're not ill, that's all!" He puffed out a smoke ring and reminded her, "Guan Xiaoxian, you should be very clear about your own weight in jin and liang. Don't get lost just because some man is slightly affectionate towards you. You must remember, the men who are so affectionate towards you are absolutely not because of your looks or talent, but have other ulterior motives!"

  "Idiot!" I muttered under my breath. I had originally thought that when we met again, he would be a bit more polite to me, and I would let bygones be bygones, but it seems that's not going to happen!

  I'm quite sure this guy is here to pick a fight.

  "Don't blame me for not warning you, it's better if you don't come to this bar again, and right now, immediately, go home!"

  "What's it to you?" I raised my head high, my dad doesn't even care where I go, and now he's suddenly concerned, who does he think he is.

  Unexpectedly, he suddenly bellowed: "Get out!"

  A gust of cold wind almost blew me down. When I came to my senses, I realized that the two words were not shouted at me.

  He looked at me with a gloomy face and asked, "Where did you go to mess around and bring back this vengeful spirit?"

  I was stunned for a moment, thinking of that factory girl ghost who kept coming out to buy soy sauce all day long. Could it be that Shu An was talking about her?

  "Did you see her?"

  "Let your hair down and show me!" He pinched the unfinished cigarette between his fingers, his tone slightly softer.

  Only a genius would know the tone he used, saying let me see your hair when it's down, what that chicken-skin feeling is like. I wasn't going to bother with him, but thinking about how weird my hair was, maybe he now knows what's going on, so without another word, I let it down for him to see.

  Seeing that my hair had grown down to below my chest, he frowned and instructed: "From today on, every day you must cut off the amount of hair that grew out the previous day!"

  "Why?"

  "Why so many whys? Just do as I tell you!"

  "What for?"
