A Little Moved

As they walked, the two of them spotted several retro-style bars on the beach not far ahead.

The beach outside the bars was filled with small wooden tables. Many young men and women dressed in cool, revealing clothes were drinking and chatting happily.

Su Yang looked at the crowd and asked, "Is it over there?"

"The navigation says this is the place."

"Then let's go take a look."

The two walked toward the beach arm in arm. It was Su Yang's first time stepping onto a beach, and he crouched down curiously to take off his sandals.

"What are you doing?"

"This is my first time at the seaside. I want to feel the sand." Su Yang smiled like a child.

"Then I'll do it with you." As Pan Ning spoke, she also took off her sandals, revealing her adorable feet.

Squatting on the ground, Su Yang watched Pan Ning's actions. He kept feeling that something had been off about her ever since they left the hotel.

This wasn't like her usual behavior. She also seemed to have become gentler—in fact, a little more feminine.

Could this girl have multiple personalities?

Su Yang thought about it and felt that the idea was ridiculous. He stood up, holding his sandals, and smiled. "Let's go."

"Okay~" Pan Ning followed Su Yang, but this time she didn't link arms with him again.

Su Yang didn't think much of it. The two soon arrived outside the first bar.

Liu Bo and Zhang Ziming were standing beside a beach buggy used as decoration, smoking.

Seeing Su Yang and Pan Ning arrive late, Liu Bo smiled. "What took you two so long?"

"Oh, we stopped by the roadside to buy coconuts. When I looked up, you guys had disappeared. Where are the other two?"

"Brother Meng is inside chatting with the owner, and Yi Xue went to the restroom. Come on, let's go in too."

"Okay."

After entering the bar, they saw Meng Wenzhou sitting by the entrance, chatting and laughing with a young man who looked about twenty-five or twenty-six.

When Meng Wenzhou saw them come in, he stood up with a smile. "My friends are here. I'll go over first. Remember to come over and have a few drinks with us later."

"No problem!" the young man replied with a smile as he stood up.

"You two went off to flirt, didn't you? What took you so long?" Meng Wenzhou joked as he looked at Su Yang and Pan Ning.

Pan Ning glared at Meng Wenzhou. "Where are we sitting?"

"Come, come, over here. The owner reserved a great spot for me."

Meng Wenzhou led them to a booth by the window.

The booth was very large, big enough for twelve or thirteen people.

With the six of them sitting there, it felt extremely spacious.

Su Yang didn't stand on ceremony. He went straight to the innermost seat and sat down, with a large wooden window immediately to his left.

The scene outside was lively. A solid-wood table happened to be placed beside Su Yang's seat, and most strikingly, the entire table was occupied by beautiful women in sexy outfits.

One of the women, who looked particularly elegant, was holding a guitar and singing an English country song. The couples around her leaned against each other and listened quietly.

Laughter and playful voices rose and fell in the distance. A bright full moon hung over the sea, tinting its surface golden.

Beach, beautiful women, barbecue, music, beer—wasn't this the wonderful life Su Yang had once imagined?

At that moment, Su Yang felt more comfortable than ever. Looking at his surroundings, he had a worry-free life, friends by his side, healthy parents, and beautiful music.

"Phew~"

Ding! The host has been detected to be enjoying himself immensely and has gained deep insight. Reward: 5,000,000 yuan in cash and one Singing God Skill.

Su Yang propped up his chin nonchalantly and gazed out the window. Listening to the beautiful music, his eyes suddenly grew misty.

At some point, Pan Ning had sat down beside Su Yang. Seeing that he had been staring out the window ever since sitting down, she stood and leaned over to look at his face.

She saw a tear slide from Su Yang's eye.

Pan Ning froze and patted Su Yang. "Why are you crying?"

"What?" Meng Wenzhou, Liu Bo, and Zhang Ziming immediately perked up at those words. The three quickly stood and walked over to look at Su Yang.

Pan Ning's pat brought Su Yang back to his senses. Seeing Pan Ning and the others surrounding him, he immediately flushed and hurriedly wiped the tears from his face. "What are you all doing?"

"Yangyang, what happened to you?"

"Nothing. Hearing the song outside brought back some memories, and I got a little moved."

"Damn, so you're a sentimental guy too." Meng Wenzhou reached out and shook Su Yang's hand.

"No, I was just touched for a moment. Forget about that. Where's the booze? What about the barbecue?"

"It'll be here soon. Today, we're drinking until we drop!" Meng Wenzhou had also been infected by Su Yang and the music, and he spoke boldly.

"With your pathetic tolerance, you think you can drink until you drop?" Pan Ning shot Meng Wenzhou a disdainful look.

"Don't get cocky. I'm telling you, I came prepared today! You're going to suffer later."

"Oh? You called someone?"

"Hehe, don't worry about it. Anyway, you're not going to have an easy time today." Meng Wenzhou plopped down into his chair with a grin.

Pan Ning rolled her eyes, not taking Meng Wenzhou's words seriously at all.

Just then, Shen Yixue returned from the restroom. All six of them were present.

Clap, clap, clap~~

A song had just ended, and enthusiastic applause came from outside the window.

The woman sitting in the middle of the crowd generously revealed a beautiful smile.

"One more song!"

"One more song!"

...The surrounding customers were in high spirits, clapping and calling for the beautiful woman to sing another song.

The woman seemed to be an extrovert as well. She smiled cheerfully and said, "All right! What would everyone like to hear? You can request a song!"

"I want to hear 'Floral Sea.'"

"I want to hear 'Journey to the North.'"

"I want to hear 'Maple.'"

Listening to the crowd's shouts, the beautiful woman smiled. "Looks like everyone's a Jay Chou fan. Then let's do 'Floral Sea'! I happen to like this song too."

"Okay!"

Clap, clap, clap~~

Another round of enthusiastic applause rang out.

Su Yang turned his head with great interest.

He had just obtained the Singing God Skill. At that moment, all kinds of singing methods and techniques filled his mind, as though they had been innate to him.

Although he hadn't personally sung yet to find out just how incredible he was, for some reason, he felt that the moment he opened his mouth, he could amaze everyone.

Besides, Su Yang had never been bad at singing. At KTV, he was at the level of a microphone hog, but that was limited to KTV. If he entered a school singing competition, he would probably rank near the bottom.

But now that he had the Singing God Skill, he was confident that he could captivate everyone with a single opening note.

The Singing God Skill didn't just grant mastery of singing. How to use every kind of musical instrument was also deeply imprinted in his mind.

"Everything has stopped, all the flowers in bloom..."

"The clear love has grown distant..."

Just then, a melodious song drifted in from outside the window.

Accompanied by the guitar, everyone was immersed in it.

"Don't leave me, distance can't keep us apart, longing turns into a sea that can't enter through the window."

The song soon ended.

The people around them still hadn't emerged from the beautiful music.

Su Yang, sitting inside by the window, began clapping enthusiastically.

When the applause rang out, the others instantly came back to their senses and joined in.

"That was beautiful!"

"Miss, are you a professional?"

"Yeah, it was so good~"

The female guitarist smiled. "Thank you, everyone. I'm actually a resident singer, just not at this bar. I'm traveling here too."

"No wonder. I was wondering how you could sing so beautifully. You're better than many professional singers."

"You're too kind. Thank you~" The beautiful woman smiled adorably.

Inside by the window, Meng Wenzhou looked at Su Yang and asked, "Old Su, how's your singing?"

"Me? It's all right."

"All right? I think you're being modest. Why don't you go up and sing one?"

"Forget it, forget it. If I sing, I might steal the spotlight from the others. I'd better not."

"Oh! Since you put it that way, you absolutely have to sing one today, right? What do you all think?" Meng Wenzhou egged him on.
