If you're not going to marry me, why are you flirting? If you dare run away, I'll sever yo

The overhead light pierced the darkness, encircling the two people on the left and right sides in the center of the stage.

Qi Nan lowered his eyes and tuned the guitar, his fingertips lightly plucking the strings, and a soft prelude slowly flowed out.

The singing then began.

"Finally found an excuse to let the alcohol take hold."

"Express all my feelings"

"Loneliness deepens, silence lingers in the corner of the dance floor."

"You said too little or too much."

"It will make people more fearful."

"Whoever indulges or spoils another will be the first to relinquish their freedom."

"In the end, it will always be me."

"My feet dangle in the air, wandering between your coldness and passion"

.....

Xia Ningqi stood on the stage holding the microphone, her makeup bright and beautiful, her voice melodious yet tinged with melancholy. Having practiced many times, she sang the heartfelt emotions in "Queen of Heaven" perfectly in just a few lines.

During breaks in her performance, she would occasionally turn her head, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the person playing the guitar beside her, her eyes flickering slightly.

Qi Nan kept his head slightly lowered, his fingertips flying across the strings, the melodious guitar music steadily supporting the singing. During the interlude, he looked up and met Xia Ningqi's gaze. The moment their eyes met, the air seemed to slow down.

The spotlight shone on the two, one singing softly, the other playing the strings in accompaniment. Their voices and the sounds of the strings intertwined and mingled, silencing the audience. Everyone was captivated by their perfectly synchronized performance.

"Qi Nan plays the guitar so well! How come I've never heard him mention it before?"

Looking at the two dazzling figures on the stage, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a pang of bitterness spreading throughout her body.

Why didn't I see how good he was when he was pursuing me...?

Until the very last line of the lyrics, "Until that time, you will no longer be sung about as a diva in my heart," fell.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

"You sang so well! I feel like my ears are pregnant!"

"Sister is so beautiful, I love her so much!"

"I'm rooting for Sister Qi! This year's Most Popular Award goes to you alone!"

Their expressions change faster than turning the pages of a book.

The curly-haired man and the bespectacled man had somehow formed a united front.

"Weren't you going to make a bet?"

"Cough cough."

"I take back what I just said. It seems that it's hard to say who will be the most popular this year."

After all, no one expected such a dark horse to emerge out of nowhere, especially since this dark horse is an enhanced version of ProMax.

With her stunning looks, captivating vocals, and sudden, unexpected charm, who could resist her?

Let's return our attention to the stage.

Xia Ningqi bowed, and as she left, a rare, faint smile appeared on her face.

"My goddess smiled at me!"

"Bullshit! He was clearly smiling at me!"

"That smile reminds me of my first love."

"You have a good memory; you can still remember things from kindergarten so clearly."

...

Keep up with Qi Nan's pace.

Xia Ningqi peeked out and asked, "How did you think of my singing today?"

"You did a great job. I'll reward you with a lollipop when we get back."

"You're sick. Who wants to eat your lollipop?"

"Haha," Qi Nan laughed, turning around. "I thought you'd be nervous, but you sang even better than usual."

"You...you played quite well too."

Somewhat surprised, Qi Nan pointed to himself and asked, "Are you praising me?"

"What else? Are you praising a ghost?"

Qi Nan's eyes narrowed into crescent moons. "Thanks, I'm really happy to be praised by you."

Xia Ningqi's throat was dry. She grabbed Qi Nan's collar and said, "Can you please stop treating everyone like this?"

"What do you mean?"

Qi Nan didn't know what he had done wrong; after all, this had always been his personality.

Xia Ningqi let go, her long eyelashes drooping slightly. "Fine, you've probably flirted with plenty of girls anyway, so do whatever you want."

"I didn't..."

Just as Qi Nan was about to defend himself, a girl suddenly lunged at him from the side and hugged Xia Ningqi tightly.

"Hey sis, you smell so good! Can we go on a date?"

Xia Ningqi was startled.

Looking down, he saw the girl burying her face deeply in his chest, looking like she was thoroughly enjoying herself.

"Who...who are you?"

Xia Ningqi looked flustered and somewhat at a loss.

"My name is Ye Anran, and I'm a sophomore in the School of Fine Arts."

"Well, we don't seem to know each other, do we?"

"It's okay, it's not too late to get to know each other now. As for feelings, we can start cultivating them slowly from now on."

"Huh?" Xia Ningqi struggled, "Your drool is dripping onto my collarbone!"

"Hehe, sister, you're absolutely gorgeous~"

She was clearly a cute girl, but now her smile makes her look like a slut.

Qi Nan stepped forward to help and forcibly pulled Ye Anran off Xia Ningqi.

"Hey kid, you need to be mindful of your image in public. Even though our Ningqi is delicious, you can't just put it in your mouth in public. That could get you arrested for sexual harassment."

tasty?

It's like you've actually tasted it...

Ye Anran put her hands on her hips. "Who are you? You're not my wife's boyfriend, are you?"

No, that's not it.

"Then why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Qi Nan glanced back at Xia Ningqi, who was hiding behind him.

"Because you seem to have scared her. She doesn't usually get that close to me on her own initiative."

"Tch~"

Ye Anran gave a soft snort, then transformed into her cute and cuddly form. "I meant no harm, I just wanted to make friends with Xia."

"Forehead..."

Qi Nan turned his head. "Would you like to be friends with her?"

"Just regular friends are fine, but anything else is out of the question."

"Okay, then let's just be friends for now."

It has to be said that Ye Anran does have a very deceptive face; without revealing her true nature, she is so cute that it's hard to resist her.

Then, she took out her phone.

"Xia, let's add each other on WeChat first. That would be the first step."

A knife is hidden beneath a sweet smile.

First, I'll take the first step, and then... and then I'll devour you little by little... because this beautiful face... can only belong to me....

"Can I ask you first, why do you want to be friends with me?"

"Because you're beautiful," Ye Anlan said, her eyes shining. "I've loved beautiful things since I was little."

"Forehead..."

Having no other choice, Xia Ningqi had to add her as a friend to avoid further entanglement.

Qi Nan casually remarked, "You added her contact information without even asking me first?"

"Sorry, no male contacts appear in my WeChat list."

"I see..."

Qi Nan was 90% certain that this girl named Ye Anran was a lesbian.

Seeing that the other party had added their contact information but still hadn't left.

Xia Ningqi asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"

"Xia, how much do you want to sleep with me for one night?"
