After the song ended, the KTV scoring system displayed a score of 97, indicating they outperford 99% of singers. The crowd, led by Chang Hao, cheered, even Zheng Yanyan clapped and complinted how great the performance was.
Zhou Yuwen's singing was truly impressive. He had learned so music in his previous life and was a singing enthusiast. He often went to KTV with Chang Hao back then. Now, with his rebirth, his physical and sensory abilities felt sharper, making his singing even better. Perhaps this was a perk of being reborn.
Seeing the reactions, with Shen Yu blushing and occasionally glancing at Zhou Yuwen, Chang Hao felt a pang of jealousy. He quickly sidled up to Zheng Yanyan, saying, "Yanyan, what song do you like? Let’s sing a duet!"
However, Zheng Yanyan’s thoughts were on Zhou Yuwen. His singing skills clearly surpassed everyone else’s. As soone who frequented KTV in high school, she was impressed by Zhou Yuwen’s performance.
“I won’t sing with you. I want to sing with Zhou Yuwen! Zhou Yuwen, let’s sing 'Bare-faced Beauty' together!” she boldly declared.
“Co on, Yanyan, give Zhou a break! Sing with !” Chang Hao pleaded.
But Zheng Yanyan was already pulling Zhou Yuwen to select the song.
Zhou Yuwen insisted he didn’t know how to sing it.
“Who doesn’t know how to sing 'Bare-faced Beauty' these days?”
Zhou Yuwen remained firm, “I don’t know how to sing it.”
“Then let Chang Hao sing with you,” he suggested.
“No, he’s not as good as you.”
“How do you know if you don’t try?”
No matter what, Zhou Yuwen refused to sing with Zheng Yanyan, who complained that Zhou Yuwen was biased, only caring about Shen Yu.
“Hey, Yanyan, aren’t you being unreasonable? Isn’t Zhou into Su Qing?” Li Qiang interjected.
The ntion of Su Qing made everyone notice her. Her face indeed looked a bit off.
Shen Yu realized this and quickly handed the mic to Su Qing, “Qingqing, what song do you want to sing? I’ll pick it for you.”
“Yes! Su Qing hasn’t sung yet. What do you want to sing?” Chang Hao and the others tried to cover up their previous mistake.
“You guys sing. I’m not singing,” Su Qing said firmly.
“Co on, we rarely get to hang out!”
“Yeah, tell us what you want to sing and we’ll pick it for you!”
Realizing her mistake, Zheng Yanyan joined Shen Yu in enthusiastically offering to help Su Qing pick a song.
But Su Qing was resolute, refusing to sing.
The more she resisted, the more they insisted, making her visibly upset. Shen Yu, feeling guilty about her earlier chemistry with Zhou Yuwen, was particularly frantic.
They even put the mic in Su Qing’s hand, but she was adamant.
“I said I’m not singing!”
“Don’t force her if she doesn’t want to sing!” Zhou Yuwen intervened, taking the mic. “If you want to sing, just pick your own songs. If Su Qing wants to sing, she can do it herself.”
With that, Zhou Yuwen selected the song “Having You for Life” for himself. This cald the situation, and Su Qing gave him a thoughtful look but said nothing. She suspected Zhou Yuwen might be a reborn person like her but couldn’t be sure.
Rebirth could happen in many ways—at the sa ti or at different points. Su Qing felt Zhou Yuwen wasn’t the sa person she rembered, but she didn’t know his origin. His clever way of defusing the situation confird to her that he was protecting her because he knew she was tone-deaf.
Indeed, despite her many talents, Su Qing had no sense of pitch. This had led to many embarrassing monts in her previous life, making her dislike such social settings. Even though she knew many famous songs, she had no intention of becoming a singer this ti around. She was content to blend in.
Zhou Yuwen’s solo performance of “Having You for Life” showcased his singing talent. Despite Zheng Yanyan’s insistence on a duet, he declined, suggesting she sing solo so he could gauge her ability.
Zheng Yanyan reluctantly agreed, but Chang Hao kept interrupting with his mic, annoying her until he laughed it off.
Zhou Yuwen sat beside Su Qing, who asked, “You know, don’t you?”
“Know what?”
“That I can’t sing.”
“You can’t sing? Really?” Zhou Yuwen feigned surprise.
Su Qing didn’t easily reveal her flaws, even if the other person likely knew. So, she said nothing more.
anwhile, Shen Yu, still not over the earlier duet, felt her heart flutter when Zhou Yuwen held her hand. It was the first ti a boy had held her hand, and it still tingled. His subsequent solo performance of “Having You for Life” deeply resonated with her.
The lyrics spoke of youthful beauty and enduring love, stirring complex feelings in Shen Yu. She liked Zhou Yuwen but rembered Su Qing liked him too. Watching Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing chat, she wondered if they were really that close. They seed to have just t, and Zhou Yuwen didn’t seem particularly interested in Su Qing.
Should she give up her feelings for Zhou Yuwen just because Su Qing liked him? The dim KTV lighting, the flickering screen, and her inner turmoil made Shen Yu ponder deeply. She understood why Su Qing liked Zhou Yuwen—he was handso, mature, kind, and clever. Even if she went through university, she might never et another like him.
Should she bury her feelings for Su Qing’s sake? Shen Yu felt both regret and defiance, her heart echoing the flickering MV screen, beating with emotion.
