Chapter 5, Acting Rogue

"Heartbreaker!" Tang cursed in a volume only he could hear, then turned and got into the car

"Yan Yan, you shouldn't be like this, specifically picking on the weak." Fan Congsi stood up, intending to drink on behalf of Xia Wenqian. Zhao Mingyan covered her wine glass with both hands, "If you want to be a hero saving the beauty, that's fine, but you have to drink two cups first." As she spoke, she filled another glass to the brim. Fan Congsi, feeling helpless, had no choice but to drink both cups. The crowd cheered, clapping and shouting in approval.

Accompanied by the faint crackling sound, the red embers gradually dimmed. The starry sky of late autumn, "clear as water, bright as a mirror," appeared increasingly vast and lofty. Everyone gathered branches to extinguish the bonfire, touched their somewhat thin clothing in the cold night, and yawned, saying: "Let's disperse now"

Chen Shang glanced at her without much expression and said slowly, "Are you going to practice singing as well?"

Tang Yi discussed with Zhao Mingyan, "Wen Qian does not drink alcohol, just a little to show goodwill, is that acceptable?"

Chen walked over and gently tugged at her shoulder, calling softly: "Hey!"

He Xianyong pointed at himself and said, "Am I going too?" Although he had been in the same class as Chen Shang for several years, he had never been to his home, and he was momentarily filled with surprise

A line of nine people arrived quickly at Chen's residence in two cars. The main gate of the residence was already open, and the vehicles drove straight in. Everyone got out of the cars, with Xia Wenqian and Tang Yi being the last to exit. Xia Wenqian widened her eyes and said, "This... this is Chen Shang's home, isn't it... a bit too large!" Just a moment ago on the road, she almost thought it was a park...

"Oh, are you saving it for your wife to touch?" Zhao Mingyan teased, casually ruffling his hair. Everyone burst into laughter at this. Fan Congsi was talking to her, and it was only then that Chen Shang understood, tugging at Tang Yi's clothes, "Are you going to borrow the music room from their class to practice singing?"

After dinner, with plenty of time left, Zhao Mingyan proposed holding a bonfire party, where they could both roast meat and have fun. Everyone agreed. Being an impatient person, she immediately pulled Chen Shang and Li Zhe to prepare for the bonfire party, refusing to eat properly. When Chen Shang returned from outside and saw Tang Yi and Fan Congsi eating together so intimately, he felt a surge of displeasure in his heart

As three people left, the lively atmosphere somewhat cooled down. Chen sat alone in the corner, wearing a dark expression and completely ignoring others. Fan Congsi picked up the microphone and smiled, saying, "Next, let's invite another performer from the 'Tianlai Cup', classmate Tang Yi, to present a program for everyone!" The crowd responded with scattered applause. Tang Yi was sitting on the ground eating barbecue, completely unprepared, hurriedly putting down the plate in her hands, wiping her mouth, and repeatedly waving her hands. Fan Congsi forcibly pulled her up, saying, "Stop the nonsense, everyone is waiting." Tang Yi was sitting on the ground eating barbecue, completely unprepared, hurriedly putting down the plate in her hands, wiping her mouth, and repeatedly waving her hands. Fan Congsi forcibly pulled her up, saying, "Stop the nonsense, everyone is waiting."

"I am not copying you, what does it have to do with you?" He Xianyong felt somewhat dissatisfied with his mockery

Xia Wenqian could only nod in agreement upon hearing her words

Zhao Mingyan muttered about being stingy while still going downstairs with two friends, carrying ice skates under the accompaniment of Fan Congsi

You said there wasn't any, so what happened just now

"In any case, even if you copy, you won't pass; it would be better to leave the exam paper blank and drool on it." Chen Shang's words are rooted in a story. There was a time during a joint examination when the test paper was leaked in advance, and everyone scored high, except for He Xianyong, who scored only 50 points, failing to even fill in the blanks. He hurriedly copied the answers and then lay down in the examination room, falling into a deep sleep, drooling everywhere, and ended up only completing half of the paper. This incident became a topic of laughter among everyone during their meals.

"How about I kiss you again?" He imagined the scene from a TV drama where a wealthy scoundrel teases a virtuous woman, extending his right index finger to hook her chin

Fan Congsi took two steps back and asked with a smile, "Who is the capitalist?"

You are not allowed to touch even if you want to

He Xianyong heard a loud cry, "If I got one wrong, it would be called a general mistake? If I got one right, I should celebrate with firecrackers." Tang Yi teased, "Oh dear, how can we compare with you?" He Xianyong poked her arm, raised his eyebrows and said, "Alas, for the next exam, I'll sit behind you, how about that?"

What are you responding for? Everyone is having a good time, don't ruin the mood just because of you. Besides, Aunt Han is already preparing dinner; who will eat the meals for so many people?

"Can you play the guitar?" Chen Shangyi asked her while leaning against the rack

Xia Wenqian looked at them with a curious expression. Tang Yi pretended to be nonchalant as he picked up the "Mickey Mouse" that had fallen at his feet, feeling increasingly annoyed in his heart

Fan Congsi had a moderate tolerance for alcohol. After downing two large glasses of red wine, he felt his heart racing and his limbs weak. He leaned against the stone pillar and said softly, "No need, just let me catch my breath in the cool breeze. You should sit down and rest for a while too."

Chen Shangman was unwilling, yet he had no way to deal with Zhao Mingyan, who was half-drunk and half-awake. He asked, "Aren't you staying here tonight?" Fan Congsi nodded, "I will also return to the school. Give me the car keys."

Fan Congsi, upon seeing the situation, said: "A Shang, you help Yan Yan go upstairs to sleep, I will take Tang Yi and the others back." He Xianyong and Zhao Mingyan's two friends do not live on campus, so they left first in Li Zhe's car.

What does it matter? You can find someone to drink on your behalf, don't be a wet blanket

The Chen family's music room is located on the top floor. Upon opening the door, one is greeted by a nearly 200 square meter hall and a series of floor-to-ceiling windows. The space is spacious and well-lit. In the center of the wooden floor sits a pure black grand piano, while the walls are adorned with violins, guitars, saxophones, and other instruments. A nearby shelf is filled with a variety of records.

"Hi, everyone!" Zhao Mingyan rushed in energetically, greeting everyone with a bright smile. She had two small braids hanging down on either side of her head, a sky-blue denim bag slung across her body, and wore a woolen short skirt. On her feet were knee-high sheepskin boots, leaving half of her thighs bare, giving her a youthful, charming, and vibrant appearance

Chen stared at her in silence

No, since we are playing a game, we must adhere to the rules. I lost, so I will drink two cups, how about that

Li Zhe is not very interested in musical instruments. After wandering around the practice room, he expressed his disinterest by saying, "Is anyone going swimming? There is a swimming pool downstairs." He Xianyong quickly replied, "I will go, I will go." The two of them then followed suit and left.

The game of "Counting Frogs" is simple, yet it becomes increasingly easy to make mistakes as one counts further.

"I do not drink alcohol," Xia Wenqian said with a troubled expression

The Amie group rehearsal results in the afternoon showed that they entered wearing ice skates but slipped and fell due to the dark and slippery ground, fortunately without injury. Once the panic subsided, the accompaniment of "Super Star" was about to end. Zhao Mingyan had no choice but to awkwardly announce: "Cut, pause." Everyone burst into laughter. He Xianyong let out a strange cry, urging from the stage: "Get off, get off!" Li Zhe whistled in agreement. Infuriated, the Amie group gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, saying: "Let's go, we will change our shoes and come back lighter." He Xianyong let out a strange cry, urging from the stage: "Get off, get off!" Li Zhe whistled in agreement. Infuriated, the Amie group gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, saying: "Let's go, we will change our shoes and come back lighter."

Tang Yi stared at him, blinked her eyes, and said softly: "I didn't expect you to play the piano so well." She couldn't help but look at him with new eyes

"Chen, do not go too far!" Tang Yi hurriedly turned his face away, took a step back, and pressed tightly against the back of the door

I can speak a little

Chen Shang noticed that they had fallen behind, so he stopped to wait. Upon hearing their words, he let out a cold snort. He was feeling quite displeased as he had just been scolded by Tang Yi, who called him a "wicked capitalist".

Tang's face flushed red, he glanced at Chen Shang and said softly, "Let's forget it, I'm clumsy and afraid I might break your things"

Tang glanced at the grand piano in the distance and cautiously asked, "May I play that?" It was her first time seeing such a large grand piano, and she was unsure of how it would sound when played.

Aren't you the one who said you would? Chen Shang was somewhat displeased by her refusal

Chen Shang noticed that she seemed very angry. After a moment's thought, he finally let go of her hand. Tang Yi hurriedly ran towards the door, desperately trying to pull the doorknob. Seeing her act as if she wanted to avoid him at all costs, Chen Shang felt both regret for having let go and resentment towards her lack of understanding. "Hey, what are you doing? I haven't done anything to you."

You have copied before!

"How could I possibly be bothering you?" someone said shamelessly, "Aren't you going to sing 'Sweet Honey'? I'll play the piano while you sing, how does that sound?"

Chen sat down by the piano, imagining the keys as the detestable Tang Yi, gritting his teeth and playing chaotically with a flurry of notes.

Tang Yi's hand slowly lowered from the doorknob, and with a wary expression, he reluctantly said: "You can stay, but you are not allowed to harass me again"

Zhao Mingyan made a face and said, "I insist on it."

Chen walked over slowly, twisting his fingers under the doorknob. With a faint click, the door opened, but immediately afterward, he locked it again

Even the usually composed Fan Congsi could not help but sigh, waving his hand and calling out: "Tang Yi!"

It is shameful and embarrassing; how can you have the audacity to say that

"I also love to eat mangosteen," Fan Congsi said as she peeled another one and handed it to her. Tang Yi hurriedly declined, saying, "You eat, I will get it myself." Just as Fan Congsi was about to say something, the mangosteen in her hand was snatched away by someone.

Tang Yi glanced at him, "I am in the fourth row behind." The fourth row is the "Chuhe-Hanjie" between the outstanding students and the underperforming students, and it has remained empty with no one sitting there

Well

The midterm exams at No. 19 Middle School were scheduled to take place over the weekend, which led to widespread complaints among the students. As the final bell signaling the end of the last exam rang, the reactions of the high achievers and the underperformers were starkly different. The high achievers huddled together, nervously comparing answers and stomping their feet in frustration over their own carelessness; meanwhile, the underperformers were too busy celebrating the end of their ordeal, throwing their books, draft papers, set squares, protractors, pencil cases, and other items into the air.

"What is it with me? Speak quickly." Tang Yi fixed her gaze on the door lock, her right hand twisting the doorknob repeatedly, yet it would not open. Frustrated, she stomped her foot and said to Chen Shang, "Hurry up and open the door!"

Tang Yi was also taken aback, swallowed hard, and thought he was speaking softly when he said: "Capitalists, the wicked capitalists!"

Finally finished the exam, shall we go out and relax

Chen glanced at Fan Congsi, then shot a glare at Tang Yi, swallowed the mangosteen he had snatched from someone else in one gulp, and said with a stern face, "Stop dawdling, are you done eating or not?"

Do you play any musical instruments

Tang Yi laughed and said: "This is the first time I have eaten such delicious tiramisu, it melts in the mouth and is not sweet at all." She quickly finished a small piece of tiramisu and, pointing to the purple-red object in the middle of the table that resembled a monk fruit, hesitantly asked: "What is this, can it be eaten?"

Chen Shang looked at Fan Congsi and Tang Yi, who were standing side by side, feeling a mix of emotions in his heart. After a long pause without speaking, he finally said in an uncompromising tone: "You have been drinking, so it is better to have Uncle Fu take you home."

Generally, one mistake was made

Chen nodded slightly. He has always cherished his piano, not allowing Zhao Mingyan to touch it at all, partly because she has a tendency to break things.

Tang Yi turned around in a hurry and asked him with his eyes what the matter was

You are both ugly and stupid!" Chen was so angry that he spoke without thinking.

Fan Congsi walked over and asked her how she did on the exam

"Wrong, wrong!" The crowd began to cheer.

Chen's complexion was not much better, as he swept everything on the table into his backpack in a haphazard manner

She found herself in a difficult position for a moment, glanced at Chen Shang, who had a composed expression, and stammered, "How about this, I'll go out for a walk, and I'll be back shortly." Then she dashed away.

She shouted that she wanted to go ice skating. Chen Shang, in a bad mood, said: "Zhao Mingyan, do you really think of this place as an ice skating rink? If you want to skate, go outside."

Hmph! What just happened was too sudden, and Tang Yi couldn't tell whether it was intentional or accidental. If it was truly unintentional, her reaction was rather excessive, making her the subject of his amusement. Thinking of this, she could only resign herself to her misfortune and said angrily, "I want to go back"

Tang Yi said: "I didn't say you, I didn't say you." Then, unnecessarily, he added, "No one said anything."

Zhao Mingyan covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Ah Shang, since you are being so generous today, I will not be polite!" She made a phone call and summoned her two friends to come over.

"Who cares!" Zhao Mingyan, infuriated, kicked the car door and got into Li Zhe's car with her friend. He Xianyong and Fan Congsi were the first to squeeze into the back seat. Tang Yi and Xia Wenqian exchanged glances. Chen Shang put on his sunglasses and said impatiently, "What are you still standing there for?" Xia Wenqian pushed Tang Yi and climbed into the back seat, sitting next to Fan Congsi.

"Play a tune and give it a try," Xia Wenqian excitedly urged her, pointing at the piano

Xia Wenqian sat down beside him, feeling somewhat reserved. Before her lay an impenetrable darkness, where indistinct shapes could not be clearly seen or discerned, yet she felt a sense of reassurance.

Everyone is full of admiration for the Chen family's piano room. Zhao Mingyan smiled and said, "What I like most about this place is that I can play the violin while ice skating." Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, she clapped her hands excitedly and exclaimed, "Ah, I know! The Amie group can make a grand entrance on the Starlight stage wearing ice skates." For this "Tianlai Cup," Zhao Mingyan and two friends formed a girls' band named "Amie," which means 'friend' in French.

Xia Wenqian stood up with great reluctance, having thought for a long time but unable to come up with a single joke. The Amie group had returned, and seeing everyone having fun, they did not insist on rehearsing but sat down to join in the enjoyment. Zhao Mingyan took a large wine glass, filled it with red wine, and clapped her hands while laughing, saying: "The first one to make a mistake will be given special treatment." Xia Wenqian's face immediately turned pale as she looked at everyone for help.

"Chen Shang, you are biased!" Zhao Mingyan exclaimed, accusing, "In the past, when I asked to borrow the piano, you absolutely refused, not even allowing me to enter the piano room. I also want to go to your house, I also want to go to your house." She persisted relentlessly.

Xia Wenqian felt uneasy under his gaze, and after some reflection, she realized that she might have affected him. She forced a laugh and said, "Well, you all practice singing, and I will just go out for a stroll."

Xia Wenqian applauded and praised, "Chen Shang, you are truly amazing!"

Tang waved his hand and said, "No, no, no."

What is wrong with you?" Chen Shangmin keenly noticed that she seemed to be angry

"I am both ugly and stupid, so why do you still want to kiss me? What are you then?" Tang suppressed her overwhelming anger and retorted to his insult. With a sudden snap, she unexpectedly managed to turn the door handle. She hurriedly squeezed out, glaring at Chen inside the door and cursing, "You lunatic," before running away.

What do you mean?" Tang Yi asked irritably

Chen despised his pretense of being familiar with Tang Yi, scoffing and mocking, "Even if I show it to you, can you see it clearly?" Although He Xianyong was tall and robust, with a face full of flesh, he suffered from severe myopia of 300 degrees, yet stubbornly refused to wear glasses. When he looked at things, he always squinted, which created a stark contrast with his appearance.

What is this

"Hey, could you please stop fidgeting?" Chen Shang winced a bit from the pain of her nails digging in and couldn't help but take a sharp breath

Zhao Mingyan, seeing that Chen Shang was unmoved, looked at Tang Yi with a hostile gaze and pressed, "What is your relationship with him? Why is he so good to you?"

Before Chen Shang could speak, Fan Congsi hurriedly said: "Of course. Didn't Ah Shang say that everyone is going?"

"I was called by Si." Zhao Mingyan, with her straightforward nature, had long forgotten about the previous quarrel with Chen Shang and was indifferent to his lukewarm attitude towards her. "Why haven't you been hanging out with me lately?" She stretched out her arm and patted Chen Shang's head, saying with a cheerful smile.

"Of course you can eat it," he said with a smile as he took one, pressed it firmly with both hands, causing the shell to crack open and reveal the creamy, segment-like flesh inside. He handed it to her and said, "This is mangosteen. Give it a try, see if it tastes good."

Xia Wenqian shook her head vigorously: "I cannot sing"

"What song are you planning to sing? Is it still 'Tian Mi Mi'?" Chen Shang suddenly turned his head to ask her

Do not touch me!" Tang exclaimed from a distance, frowning as he warned him

Then you can go and kiss them, I never asked you to do that said Tang with a cold laugh

You, you, you—" Chen originally intended to muster the courage to ask her if she wanted to be his girlfriend, but as a result of his nervousness, he ended up stuttering.

Tang Yi looked at Xia Wenqian, who was sitting in the front row waiting to go back to the dormitory with her, and said, "Wenqian, can you come with me? It's quite boring for her to stay alone in the dormitory."

I used to learn a bit of guitar and electronic keyboard, but now, I estimate I have forgotten everything." Tang Yi shook his head and sighed

What are you afraid of? I will reluctantly take responsibility for you.

"Do not touch my hair," Chen warned her, saying fiercely, "Do you not know that a man's hair should not be touched indiscriminately?"

Chen stood behind her, shaking his head as he listened, unable to resist stepping forward to demonstrate, "Look closely." His hands leaped swiftly across the piano keys, executing the piece in one breath. The song "Farewell" seemed to come alive under his fingers, flowing like a stream, with splashes everywhere.

Fourteen frogs, fourteen mouths, twenty-eight eyes... um... twenty-eight legs, with a splash they jump into the water... said Xia Wenqian, feeling dizzy.

Chen looked at the numerous light bulbs that had appeared out of nowhere and could only let out a long sigh: one cannot outsmart the heavens. He first went to the front of the dormitory building to bring the car over. Before he could park the car properly, Zhao Mingyan hurried over and pulled the door of the passenger seat. He pressed a button, locking the car door, and the window slowly rolled down. He said, somewhat unhappily: "You should ride in Li Zhe's car."

"What do you want? Let me go!" she said in exasperation

Tang Yi deliberately walked over and, staring in surprise at Zhao Mingyan's sleeping face, said: "She can sleep like this while standing?" Chen Shang complained: "My arm is sore and painful." Tang Yi looked at their intertwined figures, lowered his head, and remained silent

Chen extended a hand and took out a pinkish-purple Mickey Mouse-themed necklace from his pocket, handing it to her

Tang Yi sat down excitedly, playing and singing: "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, fragrant grass stretches to the sky..." This was the first piece she learned when she studied the piano. It had been a long time since she last played it, and even this simple piece was played clumsily. She forgot a section in the middle and could not continue. She stuck out her tongue and looked at Chen Shang for help.

"Pah!" Tang looked at him with disdain, "What virtue! Chen, what else can you do besides being a rogue? Don't insult my intelligence; I wouldn't even look at you.

Chen turned his head away, pretending to be calm, as he noticed the curves of her chest accentuated by the seatbelt. He thought to himself that she was quite well-endowed, which was not apparent at other times.

Only Chen Shang, Tang Yi, and Xia Wenqian remained in the piano room. Since their arrival, Tang Yi and Xia Wenqian had been looking around with their eyes wandering everywhere, occasionally touching the musical instruments placed there.

Aunt Han prepared a sumptuous dinner, and there were various desserts and fruits after the meal. Tang Yi pointed to the cake on his plate and quietly asked Fan Congsi across the table, "What is this?" Fan Congsi took a spoonful, tasted it, and replied, "Tiramisu."

Who told you to break my guitar strings as soon as you arrived? This is unacceptable

The musical instruments at the school are either missing parts or have extremely poor sound quality, and the piano has never had a tuner come to adjust it. The accompaniment tracks are all old songs. I have a practice room at home, and if you don't mind, I could lend it to you for singing practice

"What brings you here?" Chen Shang was somewhat surprised by her appearance

The two people followed Liu Laolao into the Grand View Garden, constantly looking around as they walked along the way

What are you doing?" Tang Yi stared at him wide-eyed, and the tone of her embarrassed and angry question seemed to lack a certain force, no matter how it was heard

Tang sarcastically remarked: "With your brain, you seem like a complete fool." She certainly did not want to date an idiot, someone as narcissistic as the beautiful youth in Greek mythology who fell in love with his own reflection.

He, in a fit of frustration, snapped the pencil in half and pointed at the outstanding students in front, saying: "Let them take the exam, is it really necessary for us to serve as a backdrop?" The underperforming students were provoked this time. In previous exams, it didn't matter since everyone was struggling, and many submitted blank papers. However, this time, seeing the top students in front of them diligently writing with all their might, even refusing to submit their papers early after finishing, made them painfully aware of their own situation. Out of ten questions, they couldn't answer nine, and during the exam, they felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles, with each second dragging on like a year, leading to a strong sense of disappointment.

Fan Congsi let out an "oh," thought for a moment, and said: "The music class has a dedicated instrument room, we can borrow it for a while." He made a phone call to Zhao Mingyan, she should have a way.

Chen Shang took down his guitar and handed it to her, "Would you like to give it a try?"

Neither will it

She bit her lip and said softly: "Thank you for earlier. Please sit on this step for a moment, and I will fetch some water for you to wash your face."

Aunt Han greeted everyone with a smile, inviting them to eat fruit and drink beverages. The usually quiet Chen residence suddenly became lively due to the arrival of many young guests

"It was just a mistake," Chen said, pretending to be nonchalant, though his face gradually turned red.

Chen also no longer looked for a backing track, and directly sat down on the piano bench. He did not speak, nor did he turn the sheet music; his fingers began to play skillfully on the keys, and beautiful music flowed throughout the room. "Why aren't you singing?" Seeing that Tang Yi did not respond, he stopped playing.

Although Chen Shang tried his best to remain calm, his flushed and hot ears betrayed his nervousness and panic. He stood there at a loss, and when he saw Tang Yi turn to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward and embraced her, stammering, "Hey, I, I, I will take responsibility for you."

Chen frowned as he looked at her, who was inebriated. Given her state, it would be surprising if she returned home without being scolded. He could only shout loudly, "Aunt Han, Aunt Han, please take her away."

Here, Chen Shang and He Xianyong are in a heated argument, while over there, Fan Congsi and Tang Yi are having a rather engaging conversation

"No!" Tang Yi glared at him fiercely, opened the glass door beside him, and took out the record 'Tian Mi Mi' from the wooden shelf, "Just lend me this one."

In the spacious piano room, only she and Chen Shang remained, and Tang Yi felt that the atmosphere was somewhat strange. She walked over to the record shelf to see what records were available; most of them were pop music, but there were also quite a few classical music records.

Chen's expression suddenly changed dramatically, and a once fervent heart instantly turned cold. He questioned loudly, "On what basis do you look down on me? I am handsome, wealthy, and can play the piano and compose music. The love letters I have received since childhood could fill a sack, and how many girls have sought my affection that I have turned down!"

Oh, what is there to be afraid of? Telling jokes is also a form of performance. If all else fails, we can always drink.

In no time, everyone had gathered downstairs. Chen Shang said, "I will drive myself, what about you all?" Chen Shang, Fan Congsi, He Xianyong, Tang Yi, Zhao Mingyan, Xia Wenqian, and two classmates of Zhao Mingyan made a total of eight people, which could not possibly fit in one car. After thinking for a moment, Zhao Mingyan said, "Right, let's call Li Zhe to come as well." Li Zhe had already obtained his driver's license and had always driven himself.

Tang forcefully pried his hands off her waist and said coldly, "Is it fun to tease me?" She glanced back at Chen Shang with a frown, thinking to herself, how could I have been flirted with by him, where is the justice in this!

I will naturally wear glasses during the exam In front of Chen, He Xianyong is somewhat at a disadvantage

Chen came to his senses and then noticed that Tang Yi and Fan Congsi were whispering to each other, their demeanor intimate. "What were you just talking about?"

It is actually an MP3, containing many songs, including original versions, accompaniment, and various renditions. This can also be worn as a necklace, isn't it adorable

Zhao Mingyan, reeking of alcohol, pulled Chen Shang up unsteadily and slurred, "Ah Shang, tonight... I won't leave, I'll just sleep at your place..."

"I didn't say much," Tang Yi said淡淡地.

Tang shook her head, saying, "No, I need to prepare well for singing practice." Although she had little confidence in the "Tianlai Cup," she still hoped that the impact would be lighter, so as to avoid a messy scene of being cut off or having mineral water splashed on her.

Xia Wenqian heard everyone talking about her, so she quickly turned her head and, upon hearing Fan Congsi's words, glanced at him a little longer

It's nothing, at worst I will move to the fourth row

The Chen family resides in the suburbs, surrounded by lush greenery, where one can gaze up and see a sky full of stars. Under the starlight, everyone has set up a bonfire, sitting in a circle, enjoying barbecued meat while watching the performance by the Amie group.

Tang Yi grabbed her and said with dissatisfaction: "Didn’t you say you would accompany me to practice singing? How could you run out to have fun by yourself? That’s really inconsiderate."

Several people were standing outside waiting for the bus. Zhao Mingyan clung to Chen Shang like a pillow, resting her face on his arm, eyes closed, softly snoring, almost bubbling from her nose. Everyone couldn't help but laugh at her adorable appearance. Chen Shang was both angry and helpless, muttering a curse under his breath.

"What can you play?" Xia Wenqian asked her

Tang Yi sat on the only piano stool, half-bent in his embrace, unable to move, yet dared not make a sound to disturb him, only able to sit stiffly with a flushed face, holding her breath. Chen Shang originally had no other thoughts; after finishing a piece, he turned around to see her shy expression, and his heart began to race. He couldn't help but lean over and, as he straightened up, gently kissed her warm cheek.

Tang Yi hesitated before finally opening the door to the front passenger seat. The car shot out like a swift cheetah, the alarm blaring incessantly. Chen looked straight ahead and said, "Fasten your seatbelt." Tang Yi had little confidence in his driving skills and fumbled to find the seatbelt. The seatbelt in this car was somewhat different from those in other cars, and she struggled several times before managing to fasten it.

I do not want to," Tang said gloomily

Xia Wenqian hurriedly jumped out and said: "Tang Yi, you are clearly framing me, knowing that I cannot play games or perform in shows."

"Alright, alright, everyone go, everyone go," Chen Shang said helplessly, giving a glare to the smug Zhao Mingyan.

Chen Shang saw him and Tang Yi's arms and thighs pressed closely together, and said irritably, "You get out and sit in the front, don't hinder me from speaking." Fan Congsi smiled slightly, and indeed opened the car door to get out. However, Tang Yi not only did not move over, but instead shifted closer to Xia Wenqian.

Tender and smooth, with a sweet and sour taste, it is delicious! Tang Yi nodded excitedly, not expecting that this seemingly unremarkable item would taste so good.

"Hey, what's wrong with me being your boyfriend?"

He anxiously pushed the drowsy Zhao Mingyan forcefully into Aunt Han's arms, "Hey, Uncle Fu, wait a moment." The car, which had just driven a few meters, came to a stop, and he hurriedly ran forward. The three of them sat side by side in the back, with Fan Congsi on the outer side, who asked him through the car window, "A Shang, what is it?"

Tang Yi glanced at Chen Shang, who was standing in the distance on the turntable, and whispered while tugging at her clothes: "No, this is very expensive." If it were to be damaged, she could not afford to compensate for it.

Aunt Han walked over to support her. Zhao Mingyan waved her hand away, clinging to Chen Shang's arm and refusing to let go. After burping, she said, "What do you mean?" Chen Shang, looking visibly annoyed, shouted, "Why are you making a scene when you're drunk instead of going to sleep?" Zhao Mingyan, undeterred, squinted and said, "What did you mean just now?"

Fan Congsi said he was going to wash his face. Seeing him with a flushed face and slightly unsteady on his feet, Xia Wenqian took the opportunity to follow him when no one was paying attention. "Are you, are you okay?" she asked with concern. Fan Congsi turned around and saw it was her, smiled, and said, "I'm fine, I just drank too quickly earlier. You should head back now."

"Hey, take this." Chen Shang entered and forcefully shoved the Mickey Mouse MP3 into her hand. Tang Yi, with a cold expression, refused to accept it. He tossed the Mickey Mouse onto the seat, said nothing, and just walked away.

Seeing that it was difficult to back down, Tang, not wanting to decline excessively, thought for a moment and smiled, saying: "How about this, let's all play a game, and the person who loses will perform a show. Playing together is much more fun. Everyone knows the game 'Count the Frogs', right? I'll go first, and whoever makes a mistake will perform a show."

Chen had no choice but to free one hand to loop the seatbelt around her chest and fasten it with a snap. Tang Yi whispered a "thank you," but seeing his hand still resting at his side, his eyes fixed on her, she broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "Look ahead, look ahead"

Yes, what is it?
