Chapter 534 - 508: Stuffing Dog Food (Bonus for 1,800 Monthly Votes)

Qian was thinking about her past life with Zheng Xu. They were the best of friends in their past lives, often going to karaoke together. Zheng Xu’s voice was beautiful, especially skilled at singing love songs.

If he adapted a song originally sung by a female singer, it would have a particular charm and sound great, giving a different vibe from the original.

Once, for her birthday, Zheng Xu booked out a bar and sang love songs to her. At the time, she just thought he was being a good friend showing his loyalty.

Looking back now, Zheng Xu must have had some feelings for her, but unfortunately, she was not sensitive to emotions and didn’t notice.

Throughout this life, she witnessed the childish bickering between him and Xiaoqiang. It was lively just watching them.

For them to banter like this, it was evident they had moved past it. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be such a light-hearted teasing.

Qian was casually watching the spectacle, while Yu Minglang was seriously jealous. Zheng Xu had gotten under his skin, and he couldn’t let Zheng Xu have the upper hand.

So when Zheng Xu finally finished his song, Yu Minglang also requested one.

The moment the melody started, both Qian and Zheng Xu were taken aback.

This is...

Zheng Xu almost spat out his drink, coughing violently, while Qian’s mouth twitched.

Yu Minglang looked at Zheng Xu with extreme smugness, his eyes exuding invincibility.

"What song are you singing?" Qian was speechless.

He picked an especially rock song!

To show his trendiness, Yu Minglang explained, "This is the rock version, not the original! Listen to your brother give you something grand and passionate!"

Zheng Xu dared to sing an evocative song to his girl, something about falling in love with someone who doesn’t come home? Pah!

He had to sing a different love song to his precious Qian, to cleanse her ears from Zheng Xu’s hypnotic sounds!

Of course, the original was too formal, so he went with a rock version to show Qian he could also have lots of fun! He also wanted to show a different side of a true man. Who said he couldn’t have fun!

The song was already powerful. The rock version was practically shouted until his voice was hoarse. The loud voice he cultivated at his old job finally came in handy. This was about using strength to completely suppress Zheng Xu’s former gentleness!

Zheng Xu, after listening for a short while, was so stunned by Yu Minglang’s wild singing that he couldn’t stay any longer.

"I’m going out for a smoke."

He said to Qian, who only saw his lips moving without hearing anything, as the entire room was filled with Yu Minglang’s roars.

Zheng Xu left, and Yu Minglang flipped him off as he walked away. Heh, coward, are you scared!

Honestly, Qian wanted to follow him out too. It was just too loud...

But watching Yu Minglang sing with such dedication, his veins popping, she realized he definitely shouldn’t be allowed to play rock again. He usually sings without being off-key, so how did he end up singing like this?

Off-key was one thing, but still being unaware after veering off to the east side of town was something else entirely. Look at how invested he is!

To pursue the shock effect of rock music, he even imitated a wolf’s howl at the end?

Alright, Qian didn’t even know what to call that, but it was definitely frightening enough.

From now on, he should stay away from rock, to stop harming rock music...

Noticing his little beauty’s gaze on him, Yu Minglang turned back with a triumphant look, like a field-tested war-boss, Qian immediately gave a flawless smile and blew him a kiss.

Oh dear, please return to normal, stop howling!

Yu Minglang didn’t get Qian’s true feelings, thinking she was praising him, he got even more smug, wanting to repeat the song and showcase his masculine style!

Seeing him wanting to continue, Qian’s smile froze, and she quickly went up and hugged him from behind.

"Didn’t brother’s singing have flair? Didn’t it outdo Zheng Xu?"

"It did, it did, it really did!" Hope he wouldn’t do it again, if he did my fiancé would be scared off by the singing, love can’t withstand the test of being off-key, seriously!

"Could you sing ’Love Song 1980’ for me?" Qian actually thought he sang other songs quite nicely, just not rock.

"Why do you want to hear that one?" Yu Minglang had avoided that song ever since returning from Lone Wolf’s grave because that song held a different meaning now. Even the melody made him feel sad.

"I just want to hear it."

Qian also wanted to see Yu Minglang’s ability to handle emotions, to know if he was as resilient as he appeared.

"The 80s were a long time ago, let’s change to another song."

Yu Minglang felt it wasn’t just him, perhaps his old friends would never sing that song again. The one at Lone Wolf’s grave was the final performance.

Not wanting to push, Qian said, "It’s all in the past. If you have psychological shadows, let Mr Chen treat you!"

Yu Minglang stroked her hair, "Aren’t you feeling feisty?!"

Her eyes twinkled mischievously. As expected, Xiaoqiang was a reserved yet warm-hearted man of principle.

"Then I’ll sing you a song—by the way, is what Hai Zhao said true?"

Qian flipped through the playlist nonchalantly.

"What did he say?"

"Did you really sneak away and cry when you saw dead cats and dogs as a kid?" She hadn’t believed it before, but now she did. He truly was a sentimental person.

"..." He would have to shut Hai Zhao’s big mouth when he returned, spreading nonsense!

"Found it, this one’s for you my man, the name of this song is—"

Zheng Xu came back after a smoke, standing at the door, not hearing Yu Minglang’s heart-wrenching, beastly rock style. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, glad that his ears had been spared, he heard a gentle singing voice from inside.

This was a new English song that had become particularly popular, topping all the major charts. The lyrics were especially inspirational, and Zheng Xu had this CD in his car too.

"If the hero never comes to you, if you need someone, you’re feeling blue"

The first line was sung by Yu Minglang, clearly showing that he sang more lyrical songs several notches above his rock songs.

If your destined one has yet to come, if you feel down and need someone there for you.

The next line was sung by Qian, "If you wait for love and you’re alone."

Then they sang together, his tenderness and her nonchalance interwoven, surprisingly harmonious and unexpectedly pleasant.

This song is called Cry On My Shoulder.

Especially when Qian and Yu Minglang sang together about crying on his shoulder if she wanted to cry. It really got to Zheng Xu.
