Singing for You

"Let's review it. There were quite a few parts I didn't understand." After the commotion died down, Zhou Liu turned to DM and said.

"Haha, then let's review it!"

DM laughed. "First, let me explain why this handsome guy won."

"Stop keeping us in suspense and spit it out. I really want to know how Wang Ge won. There were several times when he was just a hair away from losing, and I thought Chen Yanxi had it in the bag." Chen Man'an spoke impatiently.

The others all said they had felt the same way.

"It's simple." DM swept his gaze over them and revealed the answer. "The crime committed by the character Wang Ge played was actually theft, not the murder that Miss Chen had been trying to prove. That was because Wang Ge had framed Huang Wenyan for the theft right from the start, then used that crime to eliminate him."

"In other words, Wang Ge's crime had already been pinned on someone else. From the moment Huang Wenyan was eliminated, Wang Ge had effectively become a law-abiding citizen with no criminal record!"

As soon as he said that, the others suddenly understood and all turned to look at Chen Yanxi.

But they found no surprise on Chen Yanxi's face. She was perfectly calm, as if she had already figured it out.

Chen Man'an said thoughtfully, "In that case, all Wang Ge had to do to eliminate Chen Yanxi was find evidence, while Chen Yanxi had to fabricate nonexistent evidence to frame Wang Ge. Chen Yanxi's game was several times harder than Wang Ge's..."

"Wang Ge, you old schemer!" Huang Wenyan, who had been made the scapegoat, gnashed his teeth.

"That's called tactics. Do you even know what tactics are?" Wang Ge said smugly.

"What are you putting on airs for? Even if that was the case, you were still nearly eliminated by Chen Yanxi several times." Zhou Liu couldn't stand Wang Ge showing off and added, "So Chen Yanxi is still the awesome one!"

"That's right, Chen Yanxi is more impressive!" Chen Man'an chimed in.

Huang Wenyan and Yang Songyue also nodded in agreement.

"...As long as you're happy."

Wang Ge shrugged indifferently and said with a beaming smile, "Besides, Xixi is my girlfriend. If I can find such an awesome girlfriend, that makes me pretty awesome too, doesn't it?"

Zhou Liu and Huang Wenyan exchanged glances, speechless.

Damn it, he still managed to show off.

Chen Man'an, meanwhile, complained to Chen Yanxi, "Look at Wang Ge's smug, petty face. He's so annoying. Aren't you going to do something about him?"

Chen Yanxi merely smiled softly without saying anything.

"Forget it. Let's go, let's go. This is no fun." Zhou Liu shouted, "I'm never playing an intelligence game with you two freaks again."

"Damn it, if I ever play a murder mystery game with you two again, I'm a dog!"

"That's right. Let's go, let's go sing at KTV. I refuse to believe we can't beat you two at singing!"

And so the group set off again. The four of them were fired up, striding forward with their chests out and heads held high like generals marching off to war.

Wang Ge and Chen Yanxi still followed at the back, whispering to each other.

"Can you sing?" Wang Ge asked Chen Yanxi.

"I can't." Chen Yanxi shook her head.

"Then I'll sing for you." Wang Ge winked at her. "Actually, I'm pretty good at singing."

As he spoke, he spent five hundred system points to raise his Singing Skill, which had originally been only Lv2, to Lv3.

He had only four hundred points left.

Chen Yanxi pressed her lips together without saying anything.

It was still a little early to go to KTV, but since Chen Yanxi couldn't stay out too late, Zhou Liu and the others expressed their understanding.

It wasn't as if they could only sing karaoke at night.

The haunted house and murder mystery game had let Wang Ge and Chen Yanxi steal the spotlight. They had to win back some face through karaoke!

All four of them were regulars at KTV, and their singing was quite good. None of them was willing to admit defeat in this area.

Soon, they arrived at a nearby KTV and booked the most expensive private room.

Zhou Liu treated them.

"I'll give everyone a demonstration first."

Once everyone had taken their seats, Chen Man'an cheerfully picked up the microphone first. "Ahem, I'll make a fool of myself~"

"Stop pretending to be modest, An'an. Everyone knows how good you are," Zhou Liu couldn't help saying.

At that, Huang Wenyan and Yang Songyue burst into laughter.

"What did you say?" Chen Man'an glared at her boyfriend angrily after he had undermined her. "Isn't there still a newcomer, Chen Yanxi?"

"Don't mind me. I can't sing." Chen Yanxi sat in the corner and spoke.

"You can't sing? That really is a shame. I was hoping to compete with you." Yang Songyue smiled.

"Haha, I suppose there really are no perfect freaks in this world."

Huang Wenyan laughed. "Chen Yanxi is already so impressive in every other area. If she could sing too, we'd really have to die of shame."

"Exactly. Not being able to sing is only normal." The others nodded one after another.

Wang Ge glanced at them, then suddenly spoke. "Ahem, everyone, did you forget about me?"

"You?" Huang Wenyan shot him a sidelong glance. "What the hell do you count as?"

"Heh." Wang Ge swept his hair back with an especially suave flourish. "I may be unworthy, but I am precisely the 'perfect freak' you were talking about."

"Ugh..."

A chorus of retching immediately rang out through the private room.

Even the corners of Chen Yanxi's lips unconsciously curved upward into a tiny smile.

"Everyone, I didn't hear wrong, did I?" Chen Man'an said in an exaggerated tone. "A perennial second-place loser who can't even come first actually has the nerve to call himself 'perfect'? Do you believe him?"

"No!" The other three answered in unison.

Wang Ge's expression immediately darkened, while the curve at the corners of Chen Yanxi's lips grew a little wider.

"Wang Lao Er, Wang Lao Er. You didn't get first place, but your skin certainly keeps getting thicker."

"Haha, exactly. If you're so capable, get first place before you start bragging."

Wang Ge looked strange when he heard that.

He reached out, pulled Chen Yanxi into his arms, and said with a radiant smile, "There, I've already gotten first place."

Chen Man'an: "..."

Huang Wenyan: "..."

Yang Songyue: "..."

"Damn it, you beast." Zhou Liu couldn't help cursing.

"Damn it, you beast!"

The other three repeated it indignantly.

A trace of helplessness appeared on Chen Yanxi's face, while Wang Ge laughed heartily like a child who had won some competition.

Chen Man'an decided to stop paying attention to the beast. She picked up the microphone and prepared to sing one of her strongest songs to warm up the room.

"Xixi."

While no one was paying attention to them, Wang Ge lowered his voice and whispered beside Chen Yanxi with a laugh, "I know what I just said may have been a little rude to you, but I also know you'll definitely forgive me, right?"

Chen Yanxi forced a stern expression. "What if I don't forgive you?"

"Then I'll sing for you." Wang Ge winked at her.

Hearing those words again made Chen Yanxi laugh.

She reached up and adjusted her large-framed glasses, then nodded lightly.

"Okay."
