Are You a Professional Singer?

Liu Bo and Zhang Ziming chimed in, "That's right, that's right. Since you put it that way, we have to hear your beautiful voice today."

"Can you actually sing?" Pan Ning asked Su Yang.

"A little."

"Then go sing a song."

Seeing this, Meng Wenzhou chuckled. "My little sister already told you to sing. What are you waiting for?"

Seeing several people staring at him, Su Yang stopped pretending. "Then I'll sing one?"

"Sing one."

"Sing one!"

Their voices attracted the attention of the group of beautiful women at the table outside the window.

One of them stood up and looked inside. "Who's going to sing a song?"

"Him!" Meng Wenzhou and the others quickly pointed at Su Yang.

Su Yang covered his mouth and coughed. "All right, I'll show you what I've got today."

As he spoke, he stood up, braced himself against the windowsill, and vaulted outside.

"Whoa!! This handsome guy wants to sing for us! Everyone, give him a round of applause!" Liu Bo hurriedly started cheering from inside the window.

The tourists outside cooperated by applauding as well. The somewhat dull atmosphere was instantly livened up again.

"Welcome, welcome!"

"Wow, he really is handsome!" one of the girls exclaimed as she stared at Su Yang, who had climbed out the window.

"Damn, you can tell at a glance that this handsome guy knows how to sing!"

"Not necessarily. There are so many beautiful women outside that he probably just came out to show off."

"Even showing off takes some skill. If he had nothing to offer, would he dare come out?"

"Let's hear him, then. We'll see how he does."

Su Yang swept his gaze across the tourists on the beach, then cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Everyone, I just heard this beautiful lady singing so movingly that I couldn't help wanting to sing one myself."

"This handsome guy is pretty interesting. So what are you going to sing?"

"How about The Road to Ordinary?"

"Whoa, sure, sure!"

Su Yang smiled, then turned and walked over to the table full of beautiful women, looking toward the girl playing the guitar.

The girl was watching him as well.

She had drunk a little, giving her face a faint blush. She wore light makeup, and her flowing, wavy hair was dyed dark purple. She had on a white cropped T-shirt and a pale blue short skirt.

She had a high, straight nose, curved eyebrows, and classic peach blossom eyes. A tiny beauty mark rested beside the corner of her right eye.

Su Yang did not have time to call on the system to scan her. He walked up to the girl's table and asked politely, "Miss, could I borrow your guitar?"

"Of course." The beauty smiled generously and handed him the guitar.

After taking the guitar, Su Yang sat down on the ground and tuned the strings.

Everyone fell silent, ready to hear how well this sudden performer could sing.

Pan Ning was interested as well. She sat by the window and leaned against the sill, watching Su Yang.

"Panpan, your boyfriend can sing too? He can race and sing—he's pretty talented." Shen Yixue suddenly spoke up.

Pan Ning froze, then glared at Shen Yixue. "Who told you he was my boyfriend?"

Shen Yixue stuck out her tongue. "Ziming and Liu Bo whispered it to me just now."

"What exactly did they say?" Pan Ning turned to look at Zhang Ziming and Liu Bo.

The two of them quickly pretended not to hear and looked up at the ceiling.

"What's going on?" Meng Wenzhou leaned over and asked nosily.

"Can I tell her?" Shen Yixue asked in a low voice.

"Spit it out!" Pan Ning deliberately raised her voice as she looked at Shen Yixue.

"Um, they told me they saw you holding onto Su Yang's arm. You two looked very close."

"Those two said that? I don't know anything!" Shen Yixue hurriedly distanced herself from the matter.

"Tch, I thought it was something important." Meng Wenzhou lit a cigarette, speechless. To him, this was completely normal. They were all young people; holding hands was no big deal.

Still, it confirmed what he had been thinking.

Pan Ning did not bother explaining after hearing that, mainly because she really had held onto Su Yang's arm earlier.

By then, Su Yang had begun to sing outside the window.

He sat cross-legged on the beach, holding the guitar in both hands, his eyes slightly closed.

His right fingers gently plucked the strings, and the music of the intro rang out.

"Wandering, on the road, do you want to leave? Via, via."

"Fragile yet proud—that was once what I looked like."

"Boiling, restless."

"Where are you going? Via, via."

As soon as the first few lines were sung, everyone around him was initially stunned. Then they all became immersed in Su Yang's voice, enjoying it.

The young man who had questioned Su Yang earlier fell silent too. He stared at Su Yang with wide eyes, not moving an inch.

"Damn, that sounds so good."

"Don't talk. Just feel it!"

Accompanied by Su Yang's singing, everyone around him unconsciously swayed gently to the music.

The Road to Ordinary was especially suited for listening to while traveling. Moreover, Su Yang's rendition sounded almost identical to the original—perhaps even better.

With the God of Songs' blessing, his voice had a unique quality that matched the song perfectly.

Three minutes later, the song ended.

The tourists around them all wore expressions of enjoyment.

"Applause!" Liu Bo had been moved by the singing as well. He could not help standing inside the window and shouting as he clapped.

His shout instantly awakened those still lost in the song.

Everyone began applauding along with him.

"God of Songs! That was incredible!"

"Handsome guy, are you a professional singer?"

"Seriously, that's unbelievable! I feel like you sounded even better than the original singer!"

Hearing all the praise, Su Yang felt a little smug inside. System, you gave me this skill at just the right time. Hehe. Who says showing off only counts when you pretend to be weak and then surprise everyone? This kind of showing off feels pretty good too.

He looked around and said politely, "You're too kind. All right, I'll return the guitar to this beautiful lady and head inside for a drink."

"Don't go, handsome! Sing another one!"

"Yeah, you sing amazingly!"

Su Yang smiled and handed the guitar back to the girl.

The girl tilted her head and looked at Su Yang with an appreciative gaze.

"Are you sure you don't want to sing another? You sing much better than I do, and everyone wants to hear one more."

"Yeah, handsome, sing another!" Several girls at the same table joined in, their eyes shining as they looked at Su Yang.

"Old Su, sing one more. Everyone's so enthusiastic." Meng Wenzhou leaned against the windowsill and smiled.

"All right, all right, I'll sing one more. The last one, though. Any more after this and I'll have to charge." Su Yang joked.

"How about this? I'll follow this beautiful lady's example. You can request songs. I'll sing whatever you want."

"Really?"

"As long as it isn't something too obscure, no problem."

"Can you sing Cantonese songs?"

Su Yang thought to himself, Forget Cantonese. I could even sing in Bengali for you.

At that moment, a dark-complexioned young man with a beard like Jay Chou's stood up and said, "Handsome guy, I don't want a Cantonese song. Could you sing Jay Chou's Stranded? 'After poisoning my grandma, I feel so guilty!!'"

"Shut up!" The people around him hurriedly cut him off as soon as they heard his singing.

Su Yang laughed. "Stranded? Sure. I happen to like that song too."

As he spoke, he sat down on the beach again and began to sing.

Another few minutes passed, and the final note faded away.

Under Su Yang's heartfelt singing, several girls quietly shed tears.

Clap, clap, clap~

Everyone applauded Su Yang from the bottom of their hearts.

"Panpan, your boyfriend is amazing! I thought his singing would only be decent, but I didn't expect him to be this professional. Not many people can sing Jay Chou's songs well." Shen Yixue's eyes were misty as she looked at Su Yang.

Ding! Detected Shen Yixue's favorability toward the host has increased to 30. Reward: 300,000.

Huh? Shen Yixue's favorability actually increased?

This surprised Su Yang, but her favorability was only at 30. Even ordinary friends who got along well could reach fifty or sixty, so thinking about it that way, it seemed normal.

"All right, I'm really not singing again this time. I hope everyone enjoys tonight."

As he spoke, Su Yang handed the guitar back to the girl from earlier.

The girl accepted the guitar with a smile. "What's your name, handsome?"

"Su Yang."

"Hello, Su Yang. My name is Tang Ziyun."

Tang Ziyun held the guitar in one hand and extended the other toward Su Yang.

Su Yang smiled brightly and shook her hand.

"Hello."
