Seeing this, Chen Fan placed the food Mira had given him into Macao's hands. The moment he touched Macao's body, he adjusted his circulation and stimulated his metabolism. His wounds immediately healed.
Macao instantly felt that all the injuries in his body had healed and immediately knew Chen Fan had done it.
"Sorry, I've troubled you again."
"If we're brothers, don't say that. Get some proper rest, and treat Romeo well from now on. He was really worried about you." After saying that, Chen Fan gave Natsu and Lucy a look, and the three of them headed back toward the guild.
At that moment, Romeo jumped down from Macao's body and shouted toward Chen Fan and the others' backs, "Brother Natsu, Sister Lucy, thank you! And Brother Chen Fan, I'll keep our secret safe!"
With their backs to Romeo and Macao, they waved before soon disappearing into the afterglow of the setting sun, leaving behind two long shadows.
Confession Failed
"So boring, boring, I'm so bored!" Chen Fan lay sprawled across the table, shouting wildly like a child.
"If you're bored, go take on a job," Mira said as she sorted the wineglasses beside him.
"No." Chen Fan answered bluntly. He truly had no enthusiasm for jobs; to a rich man like him, they were practically optional.
"Then sing me a song." Mira smiled at Chen Fan. This completely confused him. He had not expected Mira to actually ask him to sing for her. This was a first.
Chen Fan suspiciously touched Mira's forehead. "Mira, did you take the wrong medicine?"
"Smack!" Mira slapped his hand away. "You're the one who took the wrong medicine! Can't I just want to hear you sing?"
"Oh, oh, oh...! My passion is overflowing!" Chen Fan planted one foot on the table and roared, then ran up to the second floor to fetch his guitar.
"What's gotten into him now? Is he holding another concert?"
"Probably. Still, he sings pretty well. Who knows where he copied all those songs from?"
With a "bang!", Chen Fan jumped straight down from the second floor and landed on a table. Makarov, who had been dozing nearby, was "accidentally" kicked off and fell to the floor.
Chen Fan grabbed a microphone and announced loudly, "Hello, everyone. Give me the time of one song." Once everyone had quieted down, he continued, "Today is an important day. Mira has finally agreed to marry me. Ahahaha!" He burst into exaggerated laughter, without the slightest bit of dignity.
"Tch..."
"Tch... What nonsense. How could Mira possibly marry you?"
"Just keep lying." A wave of objections rose from below the stage.
Chen Fan ignored them and continued, "Now, I'll bring everyone a song. I hope you like it. It's called 'Hair Like Snow.'" Then he began singing on his own.
"The crescent moon like wolf fangs, my beloved wan and haggard. I raise my cup and drink away the wind and snow... Your hair is like snow, making parting heartbreakingly beautiful... In this life, I'll keep you company with wine." When the song ended, everyone was immersed in its bleak, sorrowful mood, only coming back to their senses after a long while.
Amid the sound of applause, it seemed Chen Fan's singing had conquered everyone there.
Mira's eyes had also filled with tears. The song reminded her of her younger sister, Lisanna.
Chen Fan walked over to Mira and reached out to take her small hand. At first, Mira struggled a little, but she soon gave up. Chen Fan was overjoyed. This little girl Mira had finally been won over by him, fulfilling the dream of every shut-in back then.
"I wrote this song especially for you. Would you be my girlfriend?" Chen Fan asked Mira affectionately, without the slightest shame over his plagiarism. Big Zhou, I'm helping promote you here. I'm not even charging you a promotion fee, so that's already generous enough.
The guild was utterly silent, as though everyone were waiting for Mira's answer. Mira was somewhat moved as well, her lips parting slightly. Just as she was about to say yes—
Suddenly, "smack!" Everyone turned toward the source of the sound.
They saw Bucktooth Bro, the one Natsu had once kicked flying, slam his right fist into his left palm. With a look of sudden realization, he said, "I get it now! I was wondering why this song sounded so familiar. Isn't this the 'Hair Like Blood' Chen Fan once sang for Erza?"
