How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Then give your evaluation."

Hongli twisted her body to break free from Heiyang's grasp, rolled over and lay on his chest, swinging her legs as she stared into his eyes, saying in a harsh tone, "I'm warning you, you're not allowed to say I sing badly!"

Looking at that cute little face so close to his, pretending to be fierce, Hei Yang said with a wry smile, "Hey, you little brat, you're threatening me now, aren't you? You said I was supposed to give my opinion."

"Ah? What else?"

Hong Li narrowed her eyes and drawled, "Does Lord Hei Yang have any other amazing comments besides 'it sounds good'?"

"Tsk..."

When Hei Yang saw Hong Li trying to scrunch up her little face and pretend to look dangerous, he felt no fear at all. Instead, he was completely charmed by her.

Unable to suppress his impulse, he subconsciously reached out and pinched that face, teasingly saying with a smirk, "Who are you trying to scare with that fierce look? What, is our little Li so insecure?"

"Nonsense, utter nonsense!!!"

Her fierce expression vanished instantly after being tugged, and a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed in Hong Li's eyes as she shouted, "Feel free to give me whatever you want to say!"

I just wanted to remind you to tell the truth and not to lie and make random comments!

After all, I sing so well, any normal person would give me a perfect score. How could I possibly lack confidence and threaten the graders?!

"See, that's more like it, what's the rush!" Hei Yang smiled slightly.

"Who's panicking?" Hong Li glared and said, "I'm not panicking!"

"Yes, yes, how could our Xiao Li possibly panic..."

Hei Yang's tone shifted, and he suddenly adopted a serious expression: "As for my evaluation..."

"So?" Hongli gripped Heiyang's shoulders tightly with both hands. "Just tell me already! Stop keeping me in suspense!!!"

"Ahem, that..."

Hei Yang paused, a thoughtful expression on his face: "I remember the melody of this song is supposed to be rather stirring and passionate, but Xiao Li, your singing seems a bit too gentle..."

"This song doesn't really have any strict emotional rules, does it?"

Hongli defended herself, saying, "When my mom was little, she would sometimes sing this to lull me to sleep, and it's always been this tune."

After all, the emotions conveyed by this piece can be interpreted in many ways, you can't just say it because…

Hei Yang smiled gently, watching Hong Li nervously explain to him.

He was familiar with the song Hongli sang, as it was one of the clan songs of the Five Colors family.

Moreover, after being sung for many years, even those who are not from the Five Colors tribe can subconsciously hum along when they hear this familiar tune.

Hongli chose this song probably because she was familiar with it, and it's clear that she really wanted to perform well in front of Heiyang.

Realizing this, Hei Yang stopped teasing the girl and sincerely expressed his affirmation.

"Yes, Xiao Li is right, so the version you're singing now is the perfect version in my heart."

"...You can't judge my singing based on preconceived notions."

Hong Li's voice stopped abruptly. She paused, looking at Hei Yang's serious expression: "Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh!"

"how?"

Hei Yang chuckled and brushed aside a few strands of long hair that were falling across Hong Li's forehead: "Not satisfied with my evaluation?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

Hongli blinked, somewhat suspiciously, and said, "After all that talking just now, I thought you were going to...

So you're serious now? You think my version is the best?

"What else do you think?"

Hei Yang teased, "Do you think I'd nitpick your flaws?"

"Ah this..."

Hongli subconsciously wanted to nod, but suddenly came to her senses, her face flushed, and she bit the face that was trying not to laugh: "You dog Heiyang, you're deliberately making fun of me again!!!"

"Hey, hey, be gentle, don't actually bite! Ouch~"

With great effort, Hei Yang finally managed to pull Bao Lian Li off his body.

He picked up a small mirror from the bedside and saw a clear red mark on his face. He was speechless.

He turned his head and glared fiercely at Hongli: "You brat, how could you be so heartless? You kissed her, and even used your teeth! Just wait until I find a chance to get revenge!"

"Hmph, this time it's clearly your fault!"

Hongli leaned against the wall next to the big bed, her legs stretched straight towards Heiyang, using her feet to push against him: "Just praise me if you want, why do you have to scare me for so long? You're always teasing me, always teasing me. This time I sang really seriously!"

"Well, there's no other way. I finally get a chance to be a judge, so it would be a waste not to tease you a bit."

Hei Yang smiled and reached out to grab the two restless toes: "But in the end, my evaluation was really serious, and I didn't lie to you about that."

"I know."

Hongli dodges Heiyang's large hands by swinging her legs wildly, revealing a mischievous smile: "So a 'kiss with thorns' is still a kiss, just like you... Ah?!!"

Hong Li suddenly shuddered, her expression freezing.

Damn it, I was careless!

"Hey."

Hei Yang grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, and clenched his fists tightly: "Got it."

"I surrender!"

Hong Li decisively raised her hand in surrender: "My dear husband, please have mercy!"

"hey-hey."

Hei Yang's expression was amiable, but he tightened his grip slightly: "So, which of us is in the wrong?"

"I was wrong!"

Hong Li bowed her head in humiliation to the evil forces.

"and then?"

Hei Yang urged with a smile, "Recite the words!"

"sorry!"

Hong Li gritted her teeth and pleaded at the top of her lungs, "Please forgive me!!!"

"Uh-huh."

Hei Yang nodded smugly and released his grip: "I forgive you!"

"Thank you for your understanding!"

Hongli instantly pulled her foot away, flipped over to create distance between herself and Heiyang, and looked at him with a resentful expression: "What happened to reasoning? You actually used such despicable means to force someone to admit their mistake, how despicable!"

"I won't listen, anyway, the result is that you admit you were wrong!"

Hei Yang pretended not to hear, turned to look out the window, and then changed the subject: "Oh dear, it's so dark now, Xiao Huo should have already gone to the south of the city to watch the fireworks, right?"

"Then how do I know?"

Hong Li rolled her eyes at Hei Yang, disdainful of his attempt to change the subject, but she magnanimously decided not to contradict him.

She sat down cross-legged and continued the conversation by asking, "Do you want to go over there and take a look?"

"emmm..."

Hei Yang thought for a moment, then looked at Hong Li and tentatively asked, "If I say I want to go see it, will you come with me?"

"Huh? Really? You really want to go see it?"

Hongli looked astonished. She carefully observed Heiyang's expression, trying to tell whether he was joking or genuinely had such thoughts.

So what do you say?

Hei Yang didn't answer directly. He chuckled, knowing what Hong Li was thinking: "Don't want to go out?"

"Yes...that's right!"

Hongli sighed and pouted, "It's so late already. I've been out all day, and now that I'm finally home, I really don't want to go out again!"

"but……"

After a pause, Hongli looked at Heiyang, a little aggrieved, and said, "If you were going to go see, even if I didn't want to go out, I would definitely follow you..."

Hongli didn't want Heiyang to leave her sight. Between home and the outside world, she would choose home. If she had to choose between home and Heiyang, she would choose Heiyang.

Feeling Hong Li's pitiful gaze, Hei Yang chuckled and moved closer to her, patting her head as he spoke frankly, "It's so late, I really don't want to go out either."

"Eh?"

Hong Li was stunned for a moment, a question mark popping up above her head, somewhat confused about what Hei Yang meant.

This time, Hei Yang didn't deliberately keep them in suspense. He pointed to the ceiling and said, "I think we can easily see those fireworks from our rooftop, right?"

"Well, in theory, as long as it's not in a straight line with the south of the city—the city lord's mansion, it should be visible from most areas of the city."

Hongli thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively, "After all, our family has a pretty good view, and we both have good eyesight."

"How about we go to our rooftop to take a look?"
