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

The sand in front of the bars was filled with small wooden tables, and many young men and women dressed in light clothing were laughing and drinking.

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

"The navigation says this is the place."

"Let's go check it out."

The two walked hand-in-hand towards the beach. It was Su Yang's first time stepping on the sand, and he curiously bent down to take off his slippers.

"What are you doing?"

"It's my first time at the beach, I want to feel the sand," Su Yang said, laughing like a child.

"Then I'll join you," Pan Ning said, also taking off her slippers to reveal her cute feet.

Su Yang squatted down and watched Pan Ning's actions. He felt that Pan Ning had been a little off since they left the hotel.

This wasn't like her usual behavior, and she seemed to have become gentler, or rather, more feminine.

Could this girl have multiple personalities?

Su Yang thought it was a bit far-fetched. He stood up, holding his slippers, and said with a smile, "Let's go."

"Okay~" Pan Ning agreed and followed Su Yang. This time, she didn't hold his arm.

Su Yang didn't think much of it, and they soon arrived at the entrance of the first bar.

Liu Bo and Zhang Ziming were standing by a decorative beach buggy, smoking.

Seeing Su Yang and Pan Ning arriving late, Liu Bo chuckled, "What took you two so long?"

"Oh, we were just buying coconuts by the road. When we looked up, you guys were gone. Where are the other two?"

"Brother Meng is inside chatting with the owner, and Yixue went to the restroom. Let's go in."

"Okay."

After entering the bar, they saw Meng Wenzhou sitting at the entrance, chatting and laughing with a young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties.

Meng Wenzhou stood up when he saw them and said with a smile, "My friends are here. I'll head over first. Remember to come over for a few drinks with us later."

"No problem!" the young man replied with a smile, standing up.

"Did you two go on a date? That's why it took so long?" Meng Wenzhou joked, looking at Su Yang and Pan Ning.

Pan Ning glared at Meng Wenzhou and asked, "Where should we sit?"

"Come, come, over here. The owner saved us a good spot."

Meng Wenzhou led them to a window booth.

The booth was large, comfortably seating twelve or thirteen people.

With the six of them, it felt very spacious.

Su Yang didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the innermost seat. A large wooden window was on his left.

Outside the window was very lively. A rustic wooden table was placed right next to Su Yang's seat, and most surprisingly, the entire table was filled with beautiful women dressed sexily.

One of the women, who had a very elegant demeanor, was playing and singing a country folk song on her guitar. Couples around them listened quietly, leaning into each other.

In the distance, laughter and chatter rose and fell. A very bright full moon hung over the sea, casting a golden hue on the water's surface.

The beach, the beautiful women, the barbecue, the music, the beer – wasn't this the good life Su Yang had once fantasized about?

At this moment, Su Yang felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. He looked at his surroundings, free from worries, with friends by his side, parents healthy, and moving music playing.

"Hoo~"

[Ding! Detected host's extreme enjoyment and profound realization. Reward: 5 million cash and one Singing God Skill.]

Su Yang calmly rested his chin on his hand and looked out the window, listening to the beautiful music. His eyes suddenly blurred.

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

A tear slid down Su Yang's eye.

Pan Ning was startled. She patted Su Yang, "Why are you crying?"

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

Su Yang snapped back to reality when Pan Ning patted him. Seeing Pan Ning and the others gathered around him, He blushed and quickly wiped the tears from his face, "What's wrong with you guys?"

"Yang Yang, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I was just moved by the song outside and got a bit emotional."

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

"No, I was just a bit touched in that moment. Let's not talk about it. Where's the alcohol? Where's the barbecue?"

"Coming right up! We won't go home until we're drunk tonight!" Meng Wenzhou said heartily, also feeling moved by Su Yang and the music.

"With your little tolerance for alcohol, 'won't go home until we're drunk'?" Pan Ning scoffed and playfully slapped Meng Wenzhou on the back.

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

"Oh? You called for backup?"

"Heh heh, don't worry about it. Either way, you won't have an easy time today." Meng Wenzhou chuckled as he sat down on a chair.

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

Just then, Shen Yixue returned after using the restroom. All six of them were now present.

Clap clap clap~~

As one song ended, enthusiastic applause could be heard from outside the window.

The girl sitting in the center of the crowd generously revealed a beautiful smile.

"One more song!"

"One more song!"

...The surrounding customers were in high spirits, clapping and asking the beautiful singer for another song.

The girl seemed to be an 'E' person too. She laughed heartily and said, "Sure! What would you guys like to hear? You can request songs!"

"I want to hear 'Ocean of Flowers'."

"I want to hear 'On the Way North'."

"I want to hear 'Maple'..."

The beautiful singer listened to the crowd's shouts and smiled, "It seems everyone here is a Jay Chou fan! In that case, let's do 'Ocean of Flowers'! I like this song too."

"Great!"

Clap clap clap~~

Another round of warm applause erupted.

Su Yang turned his head to watch with great interest.

He had just obtained the Singing God Skill, and now all sorts of singing methods and techniques were flooding his mind, as if he was born with them.

Although he hadn't personally sung to feel how powerful it was, for some reason, he felt that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would amaze everyone.

Moreover, Su Yang wasn't a bad singer to begin with. He was considered a "mic hog" at KTVs, but that was only within the confines of KTV. If he were to compete in the campus's Top Ten Singers, he'd probably rank near the bottom.

But now, with the Singing God Skill, he was confident that he could captivate everyone the moment he sang.

Furthermore, the Singing God Skill wasn't just about mastering singing; it also deeply imprinted knowledge of how to use all musical instruments into his mind.

"Stillness falls, all the flowers bloom..."

"Distance grows, love becomes clear..."

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

Accompanied by the strumming of a guitar, everyone was immersed in the music.

"I don't want you to leave, distance can't separate us, longing turns into a sea, unable to enter from outside the window."

Soon, the song ended.

The people around them hadn't yet emerged from the beautiful music they had just heard.

Su Yang, sitting inside the window, began to clap.

As his applause started, the others instantly snapped back to reality and joined in.

"That was amazing!"

"Miss, are you a professional?"

"Yes, it was so good~"

The girl playing the guitar smiled, "Thank you, everyone. I'm actually a resident singer at a bar, but not this one. I'm just here on vacation."

"No wonder! I was thinking it sounded so good, better than many professional singers."

"You're too kind, thank you~" the beauty said with a cute smile.

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

"Me? It's alright, I guess."

"Alright? I feel like you're being modest. Why don't you go up and sing a song?"

"Nah, I'd steal everyone's thunder if I sang. I'll pass."

"Oh! If you say that, then you absolutely have to sing one today! What do you all think?" Meng Wenzhou egged him on.
