You all chase after the innocent school beauty, then I'll choose the rebellious female school b

After Xu Lingjing finished singing "Invisible Wings," the lingering sound seemed to still echo in the private room.

Everyone gave a warm round of applause, and the atmosphere was completely ignited.

Almost the instant the applause ended, Gu Xingzhou stood up.

He straightened his clothes and, without even waiting for Lu Yuan to speak, confidently walked onto the small stage and naturally took the microphone from Xu Lingjing.

Xu Lingjing stepped aside, a perfectly timed smile playing on her lips, and encouraged him in a clear voice, "Gu Xingzhou is indeed the bravest among the boys. Keep it up, I believe in you!"

With the encouragement of the goddess in person, Gu Xingzhou felt a surge of passion in his chest, and his fighting spirit soared even higher.

Sitting in the corner of the sofa, Lu Yuan took in all of this and was truly impressed.

Xu Lingjing truly lived up to her reputation as someone who understood human nature and was adept at winning hearts. With just a few words, she could make Gu Xingzhou devoted to her and willing to do anything for her.

This ability to control the situation without making a sound is truly admirable.

As soon as Gu Xingzhou stepped onto the stage, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Several girls showed great interest, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

Moreover, he was the first person after Xu Lingjing to dare to break the deadlock and go on stage before the other boys.

Compared to the group of "cowards" in front, his courage was magnified infinitely, and the halo effect was instantly maximized.

It's important to know that 2010 was an era full of romanticism.

Relationships between men and women are gradually moving from the conservative to the open; this era is destined to belong to the brave.

At social gatherings, being bold enough to take the initiative can win a girl's heart. If you also know some techniques and romance, you'll have an even better chance.

This is why many clueless but impressive boys flocked to the scene and began to fawn over girls without any limits, which laid the groundwork for the later-prevalent "simp economy".

When Gu Xingzhou first stepped onto the stage, he was actually a little nervous.

But encouraged by Xu Lingjing and met with the sparkling eyes of so many girls, his desire to perform was completely ignited.

"Gu Xingzhou, which song do you want to sing?" Lin Yan asked, looking up with expectant eyes.

"This..." Gu Xingzhou held the microphone, suddenly finding himself in a dilemma.

He was so focused on looking cool on stage that he completely forgot to think about which song he was going to sing beforehand.

Although it wasn't his first time at a karaoke bar, he rarely sang, so his mind went blank for a moment.

"Can you sing 'Little Dimples'?" Lin Yan blinked and offered her an invitation.

"The one by JJ Lin?" Gu Xingzhou asked in return.

"Yeah, you should know how, right?"

"Of course." Gu Xingzhou nodded with absolute confidence. If he said he didn't know such a popular classic love song, he would lose all face today.

"Then let's sing a duet!" Upon hearing this, Lin Yan immediately stood up, picked up another microphone from the table, and confidently walked onto the small stage.

Wow~

A deafening commotion and whistling immediately erupted inside the private room.

After all, this is a sweet love song sung by a man and a woman. Even if the singer is not in the mood, the listener is bound to take it to heart.

To be honest, Gu Xingzhou's target today is Xu Lingjing.

He was already planning how to pursue her. Although Lin Yan was pretty, she was not as stunning as Xu Lingjing, so she was not on his list of considerations.

As Gu Xingzhou turned around, he secretly glanced at Xu Lingjing out of the corner of his eye, thinking that perhaps she could help him out of this predicament, for example, by saying that such a duet between a man and a woman was not appropriate.

Unfortunately, Xu Lingjing simply sat quietly on the sofa, smiling and looking at them expectantly.

In other words, Xu Lingjing just wanted to watch the excitement and didn't care at all whether Gu Xingzhou was going to sing a duet with a girl.

What if it were Lu Yuan?

If Lu Yuan had been the one who went on stage just now, and sang a love song duet with a girl, how would Xu Lingjing have reacted?

Will there be even a hint of displeasure?

Gu Xingzhou felt increasingly aching and uneasy as he thought about it. But he absolutely couldn't show these feelings, so he had to hide them and reluctantly agree to the duet with Lin Yan.

As the familiar accompaniment melody began, the voices of a man and a woman drifted over:

"I'm still looking for someone to lean on and someone to hug..."

Gu Xingzhou's singing voice is somewhat similar to JJ Lin's, and his rhythm is just right, which shows that he is indeed not a person without musical talent.

Lin Yan and he worked together very well, her eyes full of surprise, clearly very satisfied with Gu Xingzhou's performance.

The duet between the two won enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Perhaps inspired by the pink atmosphere, Ouyang Yue was also eager to sing a duet with Wu Kun.

Wu Kun was indignant backstage, thinking the boys were too cowardly, but now that it was his turn, he instantly chickened out.

He can't sing at all.

But now, the more he says he can't do it, the less people are willing to let him go, and they insist on pushing him up to show off his skills.

With no other option, Wu Kun had to bite the bullet and go on stage, showcasing his appallingly bad singing voice.

Ouyang Yue actually sang quite well, but no one wanted to hear Wu Kun sing anymore. That wasn't singing; it was just sound pollution.

Having learned from Gu Xingzhou and Wu Kun's "precedents," several other boys followed suit and went up.

Even though the singing was just so-so, the female students from the University of Finance and Economics still politely applauded.

Some girls even volunteered to go on stage and sing along with the boys who were a little insecure about their singing.

For a time, everyone was in high spirits and had a great time.

Time flew by and it was already afternoon. Everyone was finally tired from singing, their throats were hoarse, and they were ready to leave the KTV to go eat.

Before leaving, everyone tacitly agreed that this was the best time to add each other's contact information.

So Lin Yan took the lead and added Gu Xingzhou on QQ.

Perhaps because the duet experience was good, Gu Xingzhou was happy to add her as a friend.

It's worth mentioning that even the usually unremarkable chubby Zhong Daming added a slightly chubby little girl as a friend, showing that everyone who came to this social event gained a lot.

After leaving the KTV, we all went to find something to eat.

Lu Yuan could have treated everyone to the meal, but they felt it wasn't right for him to pay for everything. After all, there were over twenty people, and even if they ate cheap food, it would still be a considerable expense.

After discussing it, everyone decided to split the bill.

After the meal, Lu Yuan paid for everyone's meal first. Later, the male students from the University of Science and Technology gave the money directly to Lu Yuan, while the female students from the University of Finance and Economics gave the money to Ye Yixian.

It was already afternoon, and before we knew it, the sky had turned a hazy gray, as if covered by a layer of lead-gray gauze.

"Oh dear, is it going to rain?" The girls looked worried when they saw the weather; none of them wanted to get soaked in the downpour.

"Don't worry, everyone. The rain isn't coming anytime soon. Let's eat in peace. If it does rain, just stay in the restaurant for a while and go back when the rain stops," Lu Yuan reassured everyone gently, dutifully fulfilling his role as leader.

We all went to find a restaurant serving Northwest Chinese cuisine.

More than twenty energetic college students walked in together, and the boss was overjoyed, immediately and warmly inviting them to take a seat.

Lu Yuan made overall arrangements, dividing the 22 people into two tables, with five men and six women at each table.

He deliberately arranged for those who had mutual attraction to sit at the same table to increase opportunities for everyone to get to know each other.

Everyone cooperated and quickly took their seats. The atmosphere at the table was harmonious, with people chatting and laughing.

Jiang Yiqing and Xu Lingjing happened to sit next to Lu Yuan. They were high school classmates with Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian, and were old acquaintances, so no one would think anything of them sitting close together.

But Lu Yuan felt immense pressure sitting there; all three girls beside him liked him!

Steaming hot dishes of Northwest cuisine were served, filling the air with their aroma, but Lu Yuan felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

I don't know if I'll be able to finish this meal peacefully.
