Chapter 60 What to do?

Chapter 60 What to do?
"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, sister. I'm really wrong! Please don't look for my dad!"

Wang Zihui stood on tiptoe and begged for mercy.

Tang Lin grabbed Wang Zihui's ear and he walked out, crying out in pain.

Tang Lin had no good way to deal with her shameless little cousin. Some people are born with thick skin and can't be hurt by a beating.

The girl she wanted to introduce to him was called Wang Na, and she was Wang Zihui's cousin. She did not show any shyness or other girlish emotions, but just looked at Xu Mingyuan who was sitting opposite her with curiosity.

Tao Shuxin also forgot to take Xiao Yangzhi to sit aside. She looked across and felt a little confused.

Xu Mingyuan wiped his mouth, wiped the table, asked someone to change the cup, and when he saw Wang Na looking at him, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

There was no undercurrent in the calm. Wang Na was the first to speak: "A girl from my class went to give you a peace apple. Did you receive it?"

"Oh, that little girl named Sun Yi?"

"Oh, you still remember my name?"

Tao Shuxin's face showed a lot of surprise, but it sounded a bit weird.

"Of course I remember. The apples are so delicious, how could I not remember her favor?" Xu Mingyuan replied as a matter of course.

"Tsk, who cares about a broken apple?"

Tao Shuxin sneered disdainfully and ignored him.

Tao Shuxin also received a lot of apples this Christmas. Actually, she didn't want to accept them, but she had no choice but to give the gifts back reluctantly.

But she didn't give it to Xu Mingyuan, and she didn't eat the apples she received. She unpacked them and gave them to her mother.

"Yes, I saw her returning to the classroom with red eyes. Zhou Peipei who went with her even scolded you. What happened? Can you tell me?" Wang Na asked curiously.

Tao Shuxin, who was listening at the side with her ears perked up, glanced at Xu Mingyuan and tutted with disdain.

"What? Do you have a grudge against her? You even specifically mentioned it to scold me." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"No, I'm just asking. I want to hear some gossip." Wang Na said truthfully with a blink of her eyes.

"You can ask your elder sister Tao Tao. She was watching the show the whole time."

"What the hell are you talking about? Who's watching you?"

Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes in disgust.

Seeing the waiter bringing over a cup, Yang Zhi picked up the bayberry juice, filled it up, and placed it in front of Xu Mingyuan.

The last time I saw Yang Zhi, she was still timid and submissive in front of Xu Mingyuan, but now they have become close siblings.

Tao Shuxin was confused and thought about it carefully.

Oh, it must be that my criticism and education of Xu Mingyuan has paid off.

Yang Zhi was still leaning against Xu Mingyuan, as quiet as a little quail.

Listening to everyone talking about her brother, she realized that her brother was so popular in school. Unlike her, she wanted to be an unknown person and be hated by others.

But it doesn’t matter. I don’t care who hates me. As long as my brother doesn’t hate me, that’s enough.

"Sister, are you going to have your final exam soon?"

Seeing that Yang Zhi had been silent, Tang Lin took the opportunity to ask.

"The exam has been completed."

Yang Zhi nodded.

"How many points did you get?"

"791.5."

"Your grades are pretty good. Are you in the top ten in the grade?"

"No, only twenty-three."

"That's not bad, she scored better than your sister Tao Tao, who was only ranked 27th in the grade."

"Junior high school is different from high school. When I was in junior high school, I often ranked first in the grade, but in high school, I couldn't even make it into the top ten. Xiao Yangzhi, you must study hard when you get to high school. The courses are very difficult now. If you don't pay attention, you will fall behind."

Tao Shuxin, who has low emotional intelligence, started to pour cold water on him.

She had no intention of showing off, she just wanted to persuade him.

"Yeah." Yang Zhi nodded.

Tang Lin, who had a higher EQ, took over the conversation and said, "Wow, are you on winter vacation?"

"No, we have to take two more weeks of classes in the third year of junior high school."

"Should we start school early too?"

"Well, classes will resume after the Lantern Festival."

"It's even worse than high school. They're still on leave for more than 40 days."

Tao Shuxin pointed at the brother and sister over there, rubbing salt into the wound.

However, Yang Zhi didn't mind taking a few more days off. She would be alone at home anyway, so it didn't make much difference whether she went to class or not.

"It's not miserable, it's us who are miserable! We only have eight days off, we can't even make it to the seventh day of the New Year."

Tang Lin became unhappy when she heard that it was vacation time.

It was supposed to be a dinner party, but it turned into a complaining session. This is the only hobby high school students have.

"I've been listening to you guys complaining all day. Why don't you think about the long vacation in June? Isn't it wonderful to think about it this way?"

Xu Mingyuan was bored and poured some oil on it.

He has a very good attitude. Although he is a little tired in the third year of high school, he is also very fulfilled. He has a regular work and rest schedule and even sleeps well every day.

Unfortunately, not everyone has such a good attitude as Xu Mingyuan. As expected, when they heard that there were only six months left, a dark cloud suddenly hung over everyone's head.

Tang Lin's father, Tang Xinghua, had ordered a set meal in advance. When the waiter brought the dishes on a cart, he went into the private room and said a few words, then did not disturb the students anymore.

"Hey, Xiao Yangzhi, come and try this. You won't be able to eat such authentic dishes in a few years."

Xu Mingyuan served her a bowl of stewed matsutake mushrooms. This thing was most likely farmed, but it was also wild game that was secretly raised.

Yang Zhi picked up the spoon and took a sip. It tasted good and felt no worse than the chicken soup sold in the neighborhood store.

Tang Xinghua did not treat everyone unfairly just because all the people at the table were students. There were more than a dozen dishes on the table, and the price would be at least seventeen or eighteen thousand yuan.

Xiao Yangzhi no longer did it behind others' back. She carefully picked out the fishbone and put it on Xu Mingyuan's plate.

Tao Shuxin looked at Xu Mingyuan, and seeing him looking back at her with pride, she pulled Xiao Yangzhi's sleeve and said to her, "It's not like he doesn't have hands, let him do it himself!"

Tao Shuxin felt depressed when she thought that Xu Mingyuan only picked coriander and celery for herself, but only the best food for Xiao Yangzhi.

It's really irritating to see people compare to each other.

But seeing Xiao Yangzhi's meticulous consideration, Tao Shuxin also had a glimmer of understanding. If she thought about herself like this, eh...

I didn't dare to think about it anymore, goosebumps all over the floor.

After finishing the meal here, the sound of toasting continued next door.

Xu Mingyuan originally planned to take Xiao Yangzhi home, but Tang Lin would not let him and insisted on taking everyone to sing together.

Xu Mingyuan originally wanted to refuse, but thinking that it would be a good idea to let Xiao Yangzhi take a turn, he nodded in agreement.

There is a special karaoke bar in the banquet building.

Xu Mingyuan was a frequent visitor to the dance hall. After having a good meal and a few drinks, everyone liked to come here to cultivate their sentiments, clink glasses with the girls, and sing a song to relax their mood.

But that doesn't mean Xu Mingyuan likes going with these female classmates. There is no fun at all. They just drink juice and sit in line waiting for the next song.

It's so boring and a waste of good time.

When they arrived at the private room of the karaoke bar, the excited people calmed down.

Everyone looked at each other, and then stood there in a daze.

"Xu Mingyuan, why don't you sing a song first?"

Tao Shuxin then handed the microphone to Xu Mingyuan.

"Sing shit, I won't sing."

"Hurry up!"

Tao Shuxin and Xu Mingyuan were deskmates for a period of time. Occasionally, I would hear him humming a few lines when he was free. Although I didn't know what he was singing, I felt that his voice was pretty good.

"Wang Zihui, go and set an example for everyone."

Xu Mingyuan commanded this little cousin who wanted to be a lackey but failed.

"Okay, I'll just sing a little bit."

Wang Zihui happily went to the song request stage to find a song.

Soon, a song "Superstar in Troubled Times" by Jordan Chan appeared on the big screen, and his tone-deaf and voice-changing voice began to torture everyone's ears.

Tang Lin originally wanted to endure it until the end, but she couldn't bear it anymore, so she ran to the song request booth and stopped the song halfway through.

"I... Sister, why did you pause me?"

Wang Zihui was in high spirits and was very unhappy when he saw his song was cut off.

"If you don't want to stay here, go home right away."

Tang Lin didn't want to pay attention to her little cousin, so she played a song called "Whose Tears Are Flying" and sang it alone.

As long as someone takes the lead, the rest will be relaxed. Tao Shuxin also excitedly ordered the first half of the moon serenade and competed with Tang Lin for the microphone.

Tao Shuxin's pitch is average, and she even led Tang Lin astray, but with her beautiful and light voice, she was able to make her singing more polished and captivating.

What was surprising was that the best singer here was actually Li Siqi. She usually had a loud voice and didn't look like a lady at all, but unexpectedly she could also raise her voice and sing in a sweet voice.

Xu Mingyuan put his legs on the table, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and shared them with Xiao Yangzhi beside him. The two of them ate the melon seeds while watching everyone laughing and playing.

"Little sister, what do you want to sing? I'll give it to you."

Seeing that the two were really bored, Tang Lin walked over and asked.

Seeing Xiao Yangzhi shaking her head, Xu Mingyuan stopped her and said, "Don't make it difficult for my sister. She can't sing."

It’s not easy to get little Yangzhi to come out and play, and asking her to sing is probably even harder than climbing to the sky.

"Then come and sing for your sister. You are already such a grown-up, but you are still shy when I ask you to sing a song. Why don't you usually be so shameless?"

Tao Shuxin glanced at him with disdain. He didn't even applaud after she finished singing, which really ruined the mood.

"I'm afraid that after I finish singing, you will be embarrassed to sing." Xu Mingyuan smiled contemptuously.

"You are such a boaster! If you had half the ability to brag, you would have been in heaven long ago!"

Tao Shuxin did not hide the contempt in her eyes.

"You don't believe it?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

Although she could see the mockery and contempt on Xu Mingyuan's face, she still stared back stubbornly: "I don't believe it!"

Xu Mingyuan is not as good as a professional singer, but after years of experience in the bar scene, singing K is a piece of cake for him.

Experience will never be lost, just like if you haven’t swum for many years, you can still swim even if you fall into the water.

"I would like to give you a song of Wong Ka Kui's "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies". I wish everyone present a smooth and bright future!"

Xu Mingyuan raised his hand. He certainly wouldn't just stand there waiting for the accompaniment to start, but instead he started off by saying something nice.

"it is good!"

Everyone started clapping before the song even started.

Although Tao Shuxin also applauded with everyone, she still felt unhappy with Xu Mingyuan.

"What a stinking fart..."

But before she finished her complaints, Xu Mingyuan had already started singing into the microphone.

"Today, I watched the snow drifting in the cold night, drifting away with a chilled heart..."

Tao Shuxin was stunned. Xu Mingyuan's slight tremor and standard Cantonese pronunciation instantly froze her in place.

Only Xiao Yangzhi had narrowed her crescent eyes, took out the mobile phone she had secretly prepared, and pressed the record button.

"Even if there is only you and me one day, oh yeah, please forgive me for my unruly and free love in this life..."

The lyrics had been sung and the background music returned to calm, but Xu Mingyuan had not finished yet. Instead, he sang another line in a low voice: "Anyone can abandon their ideals..."

Then he raised his voice: "Even if there is only you and me one day!"

After two seconds of silence, there was thunderous applause.

"Damn! Xu Mingyuan! You have some strength!"

Tang Lin's eyes widened and he was the first to shout out what everyone wanted to say.

"It's just average."

Xu Mingyuan waved his hand elegantly, feeling a little proud.

Tao Shuxin stared at Xu Mingyuan blankly and suddenly sighed.

He is only in the third year of high school and can attract girls so much. What will happen when he goes to college?
