I was rebellious by nature, but I ended up becoming a top influencer.

Qi Tian looked at the three of them, smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, he reached out and took Song Miaomiao's guitar, then stepped onto the small stage.

Looking at the patrons below the stage, some clinking glasses, others whispering sweet nothings, no one seemed to care about him. Even Du Jin and his two companions were just drinking their beer by themselves.

The only two people staring at him were Chen You, the bartender with a tattooed arm, and Song Miaomiao.

Chen You kept wiping the cup with her hands, but her eyes were fixed on me.

Song Miaomiao chewed gum, sat sideways at the bar, and waved her fist at herself.

Hello everyone, I am Qi Tian.

Knowing that no one was paying attention to him, Qi Tian still gave a proper self-introduction. After a slight pause, he continued, "I've brought a song I wrote myself called 'Unavoidable Love,' I hope you all like it."

"Singing the original version? That's quite an arrogance!"

Du Jin and Gao Guangcai exchanged a glance, both seeing a mocking smile on each other's faces.

These days, nine out of ten singers who perform in bars will claim to have original songs, but none of them are readable. Over time, these singers, battered and bruised by reality, all obediently go on to sing catchy tunes or old songs.

There's no way around it; if I sing anything else, I'll be immediately booed off the stage.

Are you doing this for a living or out of pure passion?

So when Du Jin and the other two heard that Qi Tian was going to sing the original song, they were already prepared to see him get booed off the stage.

……

"Sing the original version? Why don't you sing the currently popular 'Secret Love'? It's incredibly popular on Kuaishou. You're quite handsome, young man, don't cry later!"

A woman in a red low-cut dress held up a small beer bottle and gestured towards Qi Tian on the stage, which immediately drew laughter from the audience.

[This guy has a really sunny look. I like guys who wear white T-shirts and jeans; they look clean and neat, and it's very pleasant to look at them.]

Singing original songs? Are you kidding me? Sing popular songs well first before showing off!

[Don't speak, listen first. I hate people like you who start mocking others before they've even done anything.]

……

The fans in the live stream had just heard Chen You say that a newcomer was going to perform, and they didn't expect that this newcomer would be quite handsome.

He has a handsome face with well-proportioned features, and what's most captivating are his bright, clear eyes.

A clean-shaven chin, without deliberately growing long hair or a beard to appear artistic. Clean-shaven fingers, without unsightly long nails.

A clean white T-shirt and jeans, paired with black walking shoes, and long legs—he looks like the boy next door, radiating sunshine and comfort.

A light and pleasant guitar intro played in the bar. Few people drinking there would bother to listen to a newcomer sing, especially one that was supposedly an original song.

I can't forget the first time I saw you.

a pair of charming eyes

Your image in my mind

Unable to dispel

... "

Qi Tian's gentle voice, transmitted clearly through the microphone amidst the noisy bar, reached the ears of all the patrons present.

At first, everyone was a little indifferent, but when the second verse started, a few of the girls' eyes lit up.

"Hey, listen, this song is actually pretty good. How come I've never heard it before?" A short-haired woman in a beige T-shirt looked up from the dice game on the table and looked at Qi Tian, ​​who was playing and singing.

"Didn't he just say he wrote this song? This guy's pretty good; he can sing, write, and play instruments!"

Another young woman at the table, wearing a black dress, was also drawn to the conversation: "Should I have him give you a massage tonight?"

"Get out of here, you LSP."

……

The girls played around while listening to Qi Tian's singing. You could tell that in the first part, Qi Tian's voice was a little low, but as it went on, he became more and more confident and his voice opened up completely.

After a "Oh... Oh...", the chorus begins.

I'm just afraid I'll fall in love with you.

I dare not get too close.

I'm afraid I don't have much to give you.

Loving you also requires a lot of courage

... "

The folk singing style blending hip-hop and vocals, the explosive high notes in her true voice, and the unintentional switching between her true and falsetto voice immediately captivated many people in the audience.

The patrons, who had initially paid little attention, gradually quieted down. Many of them put their arms around their booths, drinking beer while glancing at the young man who was strumming the guitar with crisp, clean strokes.

I'm just afraid I'll fall in love with you.

Perhaps one day I will be unable to resist...

Missing someone only makes you suffer.

Falling in love with you was something I couldn't help.

... "

The woman in the red dress who had previously shouted "Don't cry" was prepared to kick people off the stage, but when she heard the chorus, she suddenly stopped getting up.

The second verse of the chorus continues the pleasant transition between true and falsetto voices, along with a slightly playful ending note. Many drinkers couldn't help but take a sip of their beer, a thought flashing through their minds: "Not bad."

The ladies in the beige T-shirt and black dress, who had already noticed Qi Tian, ​​simply abandoned their companions and turned their entire bodies towards Qi Tian on the stage.

Du Jin and his two companions, who were originally about to mock Qi Tian, ​​suddenly stopped drinking and exchanged surprised glances.

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent upon their first move.

Those other drinkers were just laymen watching the show, while the three of them were experts.

This song seems pretty good.

This kid's singing skills seem pretty good too.

Am I hearing things? In Miao's bar, I actually heard a voice even better than Sister You's singing?!

You know what, this song is actually pretty good, and the melody is quite catchy.

[Isn't this better than the fast-paced hit song Gao Guang and his girlfriend sang earlier? Isn't it better than Du Jin's crap song "Social Bro"?]

[A clean-cut young man, singing a sweet and adorable song—I enjoyed it!]

……

As Qi Tian got into the zone, his mellow and bright voice became increasingly captivating.

The verse was played on repeat for the second time. This time, there were many more people listening, chatting casually with their drinking buddies while listening to Qi Tian sing.

"Holding your hands, feeling your tenderness"

It's really hard to breathe.

I cherish your innocence

It hurts me to see you suffer.

……

Oh...oh..."

The girl in the beige T-shirt and the girl in the black dress looked at Qi Tian on the stage as if they were confessing their love to their beloved, expressing their heartfelt feelings for him.

The way he gazed so intently ahead made the two young ladies envious.

"Damn, does this guy already have a girlfriend? Otherwise, how could he write such a sweet love confession song?"

The girl in the beige T-shirt suddenly muttered a curse under her breath, and the girl in the black dress immediately chimed in, "All the good men have been taken by scumbag women."

"Hmph, should I add a super-trust account later? Just to test the waters?"

"And you're one to talk! You're such a pervert, aren't you in heat? But I've got my eye on you too, what am I going to do?"

……

The woman in the red dress sitting next to me was listening when she suddenly tilted her head back and drank all the beer in her bottle. She then took out her phone and scanned the QR code on the table.

Two lines of brightly colored text flashed across the LED screen behind Qi Tian.

"Ai Mei presented Qi Tian with 100 roses for the 12 tables!"

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have laughed at you!"
