CHAPTER 125: 123, A SONG FOR DUANMU YUNJI: NEEDING SOMEONE’S COMPANY

After Boss Lady Chen Guo finished singing, the stage was handed over to others.

But these folks were all about entertaining themselves.

Like the guy on the stage.

"Blow, blow, I blow with pride!"

That tune, it could have blown all the way to Siberia. Yet he looked so enraptured.

Luofeng couldn’t help but boo. The audience below joined in with a chorus of boos.

The guy on stage finally felt awkward, but he kept blowing away.

Duanmu Yunji, feigning provocation, said to Luofeng, "Why don’t you go up and sing a song?"

"So you brought me here just to hear me sing?" Luofeng teased with a smile.

Duanmu Yunji wouldn’t admit it and said, "Not at all. I genuinely enjoy coming here to relax. Whenever the pressure gets too much, I come here to listen to music and lift my spirits!"

Of course. She didn’t admit it, that’s true. But what she said was indeed genuine.

As Duanmu Yunji watched her beautiful fingers, she continued, "Practicing piano is really exhausting, seeing no hope, let alone a future."

Luofeng just wanted to say, if there’s no future, then don’t play the piano with those beautiful hands. Do something else; the future might be much brighter.

"My biggest goal is to win at the Chopin International Competition, but it’s extremely difficult. It requires talent, and my talent is probably just average!"

"Sometimes, I actually feel like giving up, like most of my classmates. After graduating, just find a piano-related job, or work in a training institution, or teach students myself. That wouldn’t be bad either, very relaxing..."

After Duanmu Yunji finished speaking, she took a sip of juice.

"So, young man, I brought you here just to share my life with you, no intention of goading you into singing."

If he had been an oblivious man, he would have immediately asked why she was sharing her life with him. But Luofeng understood what it meant. When a girl shares her life with you, that means she has a significant Good feeling towards you.

"Um, have you ever sung here?" After consoling her with a few words that things would get better, Luofeng asked.

"Of course."

"Then how about you sing one more time?" Luofeng inquired.

"No problem. After I sing, will you sing too?" Duanmu Yunji asked.

"Sure!" How could he lose face? Ever heard of the Singer Spirit Card?

Seeing this, Duanmu Yunji’s eyes lit up with anticipation. Without further ado, she tidied her long, straight, waist-length black hair that draped over her curvy hips, patted her cheeks, and walked onto the stage.

She quickly chose a song. As the intro started to play, Luofeng realized he hadn’t heard the song Duanmu Yunji was about to sing.

"Youth hasn’t aged, love has fled first

Loneliness has built a nest in the depths of my heart

Memories spread throughout my cells

The stories personal experience could tell,

Only the leading role remains, apart from me..."

Duanmu Yunji’s voice was on the delicate side. The song she sang carried a sorrow of parting.

Listening, Luofeng suddenly thought about leaving Capital City tomorrow.

Luofeng looked at her Desire List, and then some issues came to his attention. But it was clear. The Good Feeling Degree between the two was at least over eighty. Their relationship had obviously progressed further. After all, she was willing to take Luofeng to her childhood haunts and had also brought him to this sober bar, a place she liked. That was enough to prove her Good feeling towards Luofeng.

Luofeng fell silent. Being a good man is so tough. And back in Shanghai, there were still so many beauties. What to do? I still have to leave tomorrow anyway.

"That was amazing! Another one!"

"The young lady is pretty, and her voice is lovely too."

The bar patrons made a commotion, clearly not just admiring her voice. Her figure was exceptional as well.

"Next up, the gentleman from Table 27 will perform for us. Sir, are you ready?"

Duanmu Yunji ignored the patrons’ raucous cheering and turned her beautiful, large eyes towards Luofeng below the stage.

Most patrons in the sober bar were regulars. Naturally, they knew which direction Table 27 was in. Everyone turned to look at Luofeng.

Luofeng stood up with composure. Young, successful, and not one to feel inferior, especially since his attractiveness score had risen so much, he naturally wouldn’t suffer from stage fright.

What everyone saw was just Luofeng calmly walking to the stage.

When Luofeng reached the stage, Duanmu Yunji handed him the microphone.

Taking the microphone, Luofeng said, "To the young lady, also from Table 27, you sing beautifully." Recalling the lyrics he’d just heard, he added, "Next time I meet you, I’ll definitely say hello first."

Duanmu Yunji gave Luofeng a light punch on the chest, her face slightly flushed as she turned her head and left the stage.

Then she went back to her Table 27.

Luofeng discussed song selection and accompaniment with the staff.

Soon, Luofeng found a song called "Need Someone By My Side" in the music library.

The intro quickly began to play. Duanmu Yunji recognized the song at once. "Need Someone By My Side?" she thought, recalling her own song, which expressed a sorrow of parting. And his song was about needing someone by his side? Her emotions couldn’t help but become tangled.

With Luofeng’s Singer Spirit Card activating his professional skills, the performance was absolutely awesome.

His voice, filled with magnetism, resonated throughout the sober bar.

He had the emotion, he had the vocal quality.

In a word, he was channeling Ronald Cheng!

Of course, when the Singer Spirit possessed someone, they could choose an artist’s vocal style and characteristics. But it was only an imitation, sounding similar but definitely not identical.

And the Ronald Cheng whom Luofeng chose to channel was absolutely perfect in terms of voice and emotion.

Paired with that very magnetic vocal style...

One could only say that Ronald Cheng, who clearly could have been a God of Song, instead wanted to become a comedic actor like Lord Xing.

"So good!"

"Need company, young man? How about me?"

"Young man, you sing so well!"

Luofeng ignored the shouts from the female patrons and, looking towards Duanmu Yunji, said, "Thank you, to you at Table 27! I’m very happy to have met you in this vast sea of people. Hello!"

As he headed back to Table 27, Luofeng sneaked a peek at her Desire List, noting her feelings for him had grown stronger.

At least an eighty-five Good Feeling Degree now.

Is it really that easy for a talented boy to charm girls?
