Breakup at the Start: A Song That Makes Him a Legend, and the School Beauty Pursues Him

"The microphone was a gift from a friend. I didn't use it, so I'll leave it for someone who needs it. It's like giving something away for someone else's benefit. You won't accept the car or the microphone. If word gets out, I'll be so embarrassed. You're still my junior, after all." Lu Mengyao said, her face stern and glaring at him angrily.

"Alright, I'll take it then." Qin Shou figured the microphone probably wasn't expensive, so he simply accepted it.

Compared to giving away a sports car, this is relatively more acceptable.

"Come on, let's test the microphone and see if there's anything wrong with it," Lu Mengyao suggested with a smile.

"it is good."

Qin Shou was also getting a little itchy. It would be a real shame to come here and not sing a song, especially since he had a microphone given to him by the school beauty.

I requested the song "What's Wrong?" to test its effect.

"The sky longs for rain / I wish I could live next door to you / Standing foolishly downstairs / Looking up and counting the dark clouds..."

The sound quality is significantly better with a microphone than when singing a cappella.

As soon as she came out, her voice was so clear and bright.

It feels like there's no impurity at all, and the singing is very clear.

This microphone is really good!

Qin Shou got more and more into his singing.

It was as if he had received divine assistance; he performed even better than before.

After he finished singing, still wanting more, applause rang out.

"Wow, that's great!" Lu Mengyao's cheeks flushed slightly as she clapped excitedly.

Watching her actions, Qin Shou's ears warmed slightly: "So-so, the main thing is the microphone is good."

"That microphone has really found the right owner." Lu Mengyao's smile deepened.

"Thank you for the gift, senior. I won't take up any more of your time. I'll be going now." Qin Shou was still a little shy about being alone with her.

"Okay, let's go back then." Lu Mengyao was a little regretful, but she respected Qin Shou's decision.

As Qin Shou opened the door to the private room to leave, the manager paused, "Aren't you going to sing anymore?"

"Mm." Qin Shou nodded.

"Stay a little longer, sing a little longer!" the manager urged.

Qin Shou knew this was a common tactic.

Yes, the longer you keep it, the more money you can spend.

This place is extremely expensive; it's a rip-off. Even if Lu Mengyao is rich, Qin Shou can't let her waste her money.

Just as Qin Shou was about to refuse, he heard the manager reply ingratiatingly, "Today's expenses are all on the house, put it on my tab. You can stay as long as you want, but please sing one more song, you sing so well!"

"Your singing reminds me of my first love. Ah, it really touches my heart. It's better than all the pop songs these days. The Chinese music scene is hopeless. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get on the scene, but it's burying singers like you!"

Qin Shou was dumbfounded.

Why is this not going the way he expected?

"Excuse me, I'm not a singer," Qin Shou corrected.

"Huh? You're not a singer? But you sing so well, I thought you were a professional. Sorry, it's a real shame you're not a singer. I'll definitely buy your album!" the manager replied excitedly.

Qin Shou was also surprised that a stranger would support him so much.

"I'm also really looking forward to your album." Lu Mengyao's eyes were captivating as she gazed at Qin Shou.

Qin Shou's heart skipped a beat.

He used to be so insignificant that hardly anyone noticed him.

But because he can sing, so many people have started to pay attention to him and even like him, and he even feels that he is unique.

but……

He feared it was all just a pipe dream.

I'm even more afraid that after getting involved in the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry, things will have changed beyond recognition.

"I'm sorry," Qin Shou said sullenly.

He then strode forward.

"Qin Shou!" she called out.

Qin Shou quickened his pace and walked even faster.

"Ouch!" A cry of pain rang out from behind.

He was startled, then quickly turned around.

He noticed that Lu Mengyao was leaning against the wall, and she was walking with a limp on her right foot.

Her pretty face looked pitiful from the unbearable pain. She bit her red lips slightly, bent over, arched her slender waist and pert buttocks, and when she felt Qin Shou stop, she suddenly raised her face.

In the far corridor, her eyes shone like the Milky Way, brimming with tears, dazzling yet endearing: "It's okay, I'm fine, I just twisted my ankle while chasing you."

Qin Shou then noticed that she was wearing a pair of gold stilettos.

"Senior Lu, I'm sorry, please sit down, let me rub it for you!" Qin Shou was very anxious.

After helping her to sit down, he half-squatted down and took her right foot out of her shoe.

Her porcelain-white, straight long legs rested on his thighs. Her insteps were beautiful, slender and delicate, with her toenails showing a light pink hue, small and exquisite.

However, the unusual redness at the tip of the toes is visible to the naked eye.

"I often twist my ankle when I play basketball. Is this any better?" Qin Shou massaged her foot, carefully observing Lu Mengyao's expression.

She bit her bright red lips, feeling a slight pain at first: "Ah, umm, it hurts, ah, phew..."

Her eyes were brimming with tears, and her voice was soft and sweet, like a baby's.

Qin Shou's ears turned bright red as he tried to remain calm.

"Does it still hurt?" Qin Shou asked gently.

She squinted, her cheeks glistening with sweat, and replied shyly, "Much better."

Qin Shou lowered his head and continued to massage her feet.

But he heard a sob.

Qin Shou panicked.

He looked up abruptly and saw Lu Mengyao with tears in her eyes.

Qin Shou panicked: "Don't cry! Did I hurt you? If someone sees us, they'll think I'm bullying you!"

Qin Shou fears nothing but pretty girls crying.

"No...it has nothing to do with you. I'm just a little sad." Lu Mengyao lowered her head, her pitiful eyes filled with tears, her nose red and endearing. "Nobody likes me. Everyone wants to leave me."

"How could that be! So many people like you!" Qin Shou retorted.

Lu Mengyao is the school beauty. If she goes to do an internship, basically all the boys in the school will cry their eyes out.

"I've mentored a lot of artists, but as soon as they gained popularity, they were all poached by their seniors. Everyone in the company thinks I'm just a pretty face, including the artists who all think I don't have much ability and have gone their separate ways..." Lu Mengyao's eyelashes fluttered.

"If I can't produce another decent artist, I won't be able to survive in the company, and I might have to go back and inherit the family business..."

When Lu Mengyao, with red eyes, opened up to Qin Shou, Qin Shou felt sorry for her.

He never imagined that beneath her glamorous exterior lay a side of unfulfilled talent.

But when Qin Shou heard that she was going back to inherit the family business, he felt that he was the real clown.

Listen to this, they even have a family business to inherit.

All you can inherit are those cogs in the machine of the factory; even the factory girls aren't yours.

Just as Qin Shou began to feel sorry for himself, he heard her say, "I will resign and will no longer bother you. I'm sorry for making you laugh."

Qin Shou noticed that Lu Mengyao swallowed her bitter tears; her eyes were red, but she was smiling.

Her face, as beautiful as a snow lotus, was wet with tears, touching the deepest part of Qin Shou's heart.

She forced a bright smile, waved her hand and said it was nothing, then limped forward, leaning against the wall.

His heart was stabbed hard.

It turns out that she and he were from the same world. They tried hard to fight back, but were still crushed by reality.
