The Person I Like Doesn't Like Me

Singing is an art form that can be shared harmoniously with both highbrow and lowbrow tastes, unlike other art forms where works cannot be accepted or appreciated unless they meet certain standards.

Singing and listening to music are both spiritual and cultural needs, but they are quite different from art forms such as painting. Other forms are purely psychological and spiritual appreciation, while singing and listening to music can stimulate the brain through feedback from the organs, producing a kind of physiological pleasure.

Of course, not everyone will be like this.

After her roommates finished singing, when it was Liu Chang'an and Bai Hui's turn, Bai Hui gathered her thoughts and prepared to enjoy the pleasure of Liu Chang'an singing with her.

"His singing makes you feel like your ears are being... being... massaged... no, your eardrums are being given a spa treatment," Bai Hui said, holding the microphone.

Sitting here were Yan Xiang, Li Hongman, and Zhao Yu from Bai Hui's dormitory. Their gazes were somewhat peculiar, because it was the first time they had seen Bai Hui so intimately and admiringly showing affection to a boy. This naturally led them to connect the "deskmate" that Bai Hui had once mentioned with ambiguous undertones to the boy.

"Hello... Ah... Hello..." Liu Chang'an wiped the microphone, still in the style of an elderly principal tapping the microphone to test the sound.

During the prelude and melody, Liu Chang'an turned his head and glanced at Bai Hui.

Bai Hui looked at Liu Chang'an's eyes, which were no different from usual, but felt a vivid emotion in the music, and was immediately drawn into that mood.

Singing with Liu Chang'an is so comfortable. Every gesture and glance from him is like a gentle tease that draws you in.

His voice had an extremely powerful penetrating quality, and Bai Hui, standing beside him, felt the happiest because he would always give her a perfectly timed, interactive glance, instantly filling her singing with a sense of atmosphere. The feeling of being enveloped in a tender, romantic ambiance made her feel as if she were detached from reality, galloping across the plateau, experiencing the exhilarating undulations, rushing down from the misty plateau, and plunging into the rolling valleys. Looking up, she saw a Mercedes train ahead, weaving through deep, dark tunnels, passing through and entering them again and again. The intense, rhythmic clashing of the wheels against the rails seemed to be the melody of her heart, which he held tightly in his grasp, struggling.

Bai Hui opened her eyes and looked at Liu Chang'an, who was so close to her. She finally felt the joy of singing with him again. She opened her mouth, like a fish that had been jumping and wriggling under the scorching sun for a long time, and finally jumped into the water. The refreshing wetness all over her body made her feel satisfied. She put down the microphone, her cheeks flushed, hugged Liu Chang'an, and then quickly let go of him. She ran to the sofa, grabbed a glass of water, and took a few big gulps.

The roommates clapped together, but no one thought there was anything to jeer about Bai Hui hugging Liu Chang'an. It was just like many occasions where everyone celebrates by hugging each other after completing a task they were satisfied with.

"I didn't expect you to sing so well." Yan Xiang sincerely praised Bai Hui, who also loved to sing.

"No... he guided me well. I'm really not good at singing by myself. No matter how I sing, it just doesn't feel right." Bai Hui took another sip of water. It was only a song that was less than five minutes long. Especially in the second half when Liu Chang'an sang the harmonies, the feeling of being entangled and perfectly blended together was so comfortable for Bai Hui.

"Can you sing me a song?" Zhao Yu asked Liu Chang'an eagerly.

Before Liu Chang'an could refuse, Bai Hui quickly said, "Let him rest for a while; singing like this is tiring."

Zhao Yu glanced at Bai Hui, smiled, and said nothing. She carefully examined Bai Hui's rosy cheeks and moist lips, and it seemed... nothing at all. Perhaps it was because she had a boyfriend that her thoughts were a little lewd?

"Liu Chang'an, sing a solo. I don't believe you're so weak that you'll get tired after just one song," Li Hongman demanded, clapping her hands.

Bai Hui didn't interrupt this request. In fact, all the girls here felt that listening to Liu Chang'an sing was a truly enjoyable experience, like having their eardrums massaged.

"I'll sing 'The Sword and the Dream,' the theme song from the TV series 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' from over twenty years ago." This was the song Liu Chang'an had originally planned to sing.

Bai Hui listened quietly to Liu Chang'an sing, when she suddenly realized a problem: what if others wanted to sing a duet with Liu Chang'an later?

Why was she so unwilling to let others sing with Liu Chang'an? Before the previous question could be resolved, a new one made Bai Hui feel ashamed. It must be a girl's possessiveness and selfishness. Why should she share with others and make them experience it too? This had nothing to do with Liu Chang'an; it was simply because she was a selfish person.

It's like if I found money, I would definitely keep it myself. Why should I share it with others? The idea that "everyone who finds it should get a share" is really ridiculous... No, that reason doesn't convince me, because I have actually found money before, and I happily shared it with others.

Perhaps it's because Liu Chang'an is slightly more important than money... But that's not right! Bai Hui angrily recalled her life principle: money is the most important thing.

Money was her favorite thing. If others wanted to mess around with Liu Chang'an, so be it. Bai Hui looked around warily, wondering who was most likely to be the one to foolishly ask Liu Chang'an to sing a duet next.

Fortunately, everyone was sensible. After Liu Chang'an finished singing "The Sword and the Dream," he sang "Love the Realm More, Love Beauty More," and no one asked to sing a duet with him.

Liu Chang'an hogged the karaoke for a while before going downstairs to get something to eat. Yan Xiang and Zhao Yu went to the restroom together. Bai Hui didn't want to go at first, but after ordering two songs, she realized she had drunk a bit too much water, so she went over too and heard Yan Xiang and Zhao Yu talking inside the restroom.

"You were really inconsiderate just now... Bai Hui was clinging to Liu Chang'an so tightly, and you still insisted on singing a duet with Liu Chang'an."

"Yes, to us, it's just friends or classmates singing a song together, but to people in the ambiguous stage of a relationship, it becomes a big deal."

"Of course, we've all been through this, so we don't pay that much attention anymore. Bai Hui clearly hasn't been in a relationship before; she's calculating everything."

Do you think Liu Chang'an likes her?

"I heard Liu Chang'an has a girlfriend... He doesn't seem to be very interested in Bai Hui."

Bai Hui turned and walked downstairs to the bathroom. Looking at herself in the mirror, she suddenly burst into tears.
