The dinner is coming to an end.There were still more than half of the dishes on the table that looked like a full Han banquet, and they were still too rich to know what to do, which made Yang Xi feel deeply guilty for the host of the banquet.How many people in this world are struggling to make a living, and even eat the last bite of pickles for breakfast, but how many people are squandering delicacies from mountains and seas.If it is true that evil is rewarded with evil, why are they still here at ease?Yang Xi felt puzzled and sighed.

After a commotion at the adjacent table, Gerna, the host of the banquet, was pushed and shoved by the crowd.

Gerna's fair cheeks turned pink, probably because of drinking too much red wine.But everyone here knows that although Gerna is easy to get drunk when drinking, it is only a superficial phenomenon.At the party two years ago, there was a rich German businessman who conspired against Gerna and wanted to get her drunk, but in the end, Gerna made her drunk.Since then, Gerna's drinking capacity has been well-known in many circles, making people frightened, and no old man dares to make a fool of herself.

"My singing is far worse than yours!" Gerna pretended to be shy and shy, her big blinking eyes captured the souls of half of the people.The well-decorated stage at the front of the banquet hall is big and ostentatious, and the spotlights are so blinding.

"Sister Na sang very well in ktv last time, so don't be modest!" Lin Dong, who was opposite Lin Anqiao with curly hair, first lined up his hands, his eyes bright.

Gerna's bewitching eyes fixed on Lin Dong, making Lin Dong blush and lowered his head.Gerna pursed her lips and smiled softly, and pointed her slender fingers at the table: "Thank you, the second son of the Lin family, for your kindness. But Tana can sing better than me. Let her play a song from her album just released last year."

As soon as the words fell, Tana, who was drinking tea, stopped in place, frowned, and looked at Gerna anxiously.Ever since Tana separated from her Mongolian father and returned to live in Luoxi City, Gerna especially liked to make her as ostentatious as possible—this annoyed the already eye-catching Tana even more.Gerna didn't care about Tana's embarrassment at all, and helped her up without saying anything: "How is it?"

All the people present agreed, and warm applause followed.

Tana had no choice but to stride towards the stage with those slender legs.Yang Xi looked at Tana, who was walking very gracefully, with a smile in the distance, her eyes were full of encouragement and enthusiasm.

"Then I'll sing "Happy Face" for everyone, please ask the technical department to play the accompaniment." Tana bowed deeply amidst the cheers and applause.She took a deep breath and picked up the phone.

After Lin Anqiao heard the title of the song, her fingers holding a cigarette stayed in the air, and she also stared at the stage seriously.It wasn't because Tana was so beautiful, famous or sang so well—not to mention that Lin Anqiao had never heard Tana sing.She only vaguely remembered that many years ago, this old song by Qi Yu was played on the international cruise ship to Paris.In a French environment full of loneliness, the song made her feel sad enough to cry.

The soft music sounded, and the whole hall was instantly quiet.Tana's voice is very soft, like a young girl in love telling a poignant love story.It was the first time Yang Xi heard this song, and she was deeply intoxicated by it.

As a veteran singer in the entertainment industry, Tana has a high-pitched voice with ease and is not harsh at all. The ethereal melody infected everyone. Many people present closed their eyes and listened carefully.

It is still such a steady melody, such a light but hesitant melody.

只要 你 轻轻一笑

我 的 心 就 迷醉

只 有 你 欢颜 笑语

Accompany me on the long journey

.....

Lin Anqiao couldn't help closing her eyes.Accompany me on the long journey... In this life, will there be someone who will make me intoxicated and make me happy?The future is so confused and full of shackles.She felt sour in her heart, and her eyes were involuntarily moist.

After the song, warm applause sounded like thunder again, making Tana bow again and again shyly, and then gracefully stepped off the stage.

"As expected of Namei's younger sister, this song should only exist in the sky!" Lin Wenlong also whistled, and the flesh on his face was piled up.

Gerna tilted her head, her waterfall-like hair fell to her chest: "Thank you for your compliments, Tana will definitely continue to work hard in the future!"

Suddenly, Gerna changed the subject, looked at the table of Lin's family, her eyes became penetrating like a fox: "Brother Lin, how about some songs from your side?"

After Lin Wenlong heard this sentence, he quickly excused himself: "Sister Na, I can sing very out of tune, so don't hurt me."

After Lin Wenhu heard this sentence, he proudly pushed Lin Dong: "Go, show it."

But although Lin Dong looks like a tall man of 1.8 meters tall, he is very shy and not outgoing in character.Therefore, he could only lower his head and tug on Lin Wenhu's sleeve, no matter how much Lin Wenhu persuaded him, he would not go up even if he died.

Lin Anqiao was also very helpless, and the cigarette in his hand was about to burn out.The only defect she inherited from her father was tone deafness.If it is said that most people go home out of tune, then Lin Anqiao ran out of tune and went to grandma's house.When she was young, her father asked her to play the violin in order to cultivate her sense of music, but after several months of practice, she still couldn't distinguish the pitch, which drove the violin teacher very crazy.After changing several instruments, Lin Wenlong was disappointed with Lin Anqiao, so he stopped caring about her music.If the child is tone-deaf, what can he do?

Gerna seemed to have planned it long ago, and she directly cast her eyes on Yang Xi who was sitting quietly beside her.Most of the people in Lin's family were out of tune, and Gerna knew about it a long time ago.She just wanted to find a legitimate reason to hate Lin Anqiao's unsightly girlfriend.

"Mr. Lin's little girlfriend will sing one, how about it?" Gerna looked at Yang Xi with a smile, and saw that Yang Xi's scalp was numb.Lin Anqiao beside Yang Xi was also startled, and unconsciously put out the cigarette, watching Zeerna's every move.

Lin Anqiao was quite clear about Gerna's purpose, and even hated this woman.

Tana looked at Yang Xi worriedly, and then at her sister.She wants to stop her sister—since she doesn't want to, don't be so aggressive.

But before Tana could open her mouth to stop her, Yang Xi stood up decisively from her seat.Yang Xi actually likes to sing very much, and being able to perform in public is a dream.However, what is more embarrassing is that Tana, who is a music major, has just finished singing. Comparing her profound singing skills with her own, she can beat herself to pieces.In the subconscious of others, they will definitely compare themselves with Tana unconsciously.And I will be the one who is trampled underfoot.

Suddenly, she thought of that afternoon a few months ago, when she lay on Lin Anqiao's back and asked "Do you care what other people think?"She laughed, and she suddenly understood that other people's ideas are the most useless thing.That being the case, it's better to live in a chic and unrestrained way, and live by your own temperament.Everyone has their own characteristics. It's just that I haven't received professional training. Don't I even have the right to perform in public?

Yang Xi stood up and bowed to Gerna very gracefully: "Thank you for your kind invitation. I have never learned vocal music, so I made a fool of myself." Go to the bright and wild stage.

Lin Anqiao had never heard Yang Xi sing, but she was sure that since her family was not rich, she must have never learned vocal music, so she was sweating for her.I'm afraid that Gerna will catch on to this ridicule again, Lin Anqiao is sitting upright and frowning tightly, but she can taunt if she wants to, because she is used to being teased by her second uncle - but will Yang Xi be able to bear it?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yang Xi stepped onto the stage covered with a red carpet.The little brother from the technical department next to him was facing the computer, with sweat beading faintly on his forehead.

"I'll sing "One Hundred Years of Solitude," Yang Xi didn't show any tension on his face, which surprised Gerna, "Thank you everyone."

Lin Anqiao froze for a moment after hearing the title of the song.She had never heard of this song, but somehow felt a sense of desolation.A hundred years of loneliness, who is lonely, and what kind of loneliness is it?

Although the title is called One Hundred Years of Solitude, the accompaniment sounded with a rock style, and there was no sense of loneliness.The sound of electric guitars and drums swayed in the banquet hall, giving the illusion of a punk concert.Lin Anqiao thought, did he play the wrong accompaniment, but seeing Yang Xi's calm expression, there should be no problem.

Yang Xi took a deep breath, and parted her thin lips lightly.The people present didn't expect anything, because the thin girl on the stage didn't have amazing facial features, nor was she a professional singer.But when Yang Xi opened his mouth, everyone present was shocked.Yang Xi's voice has a psychedelic feeling, ethereal like Faye Wong, and sad like Cai Qin, but I still can't find a suitable word to describe Yang Xi's voice, because her voice is so unique.Yang Xi's singing voice is always flaunting: I am me, I am Yang Xi.Even without any singing skills, there is still a unique sweetness.

Lin Anqiao unconsciously closed her eyes again and listened quietly.The accompaniment does have a hot rock style, but it does have a kind of loneliness that cannot be described.It's like a person standing on a plank that never sinks, floating aimlessly on the sea, seeing only the blue sky without a cloud:

But when I close my eyes and open them again

I only see camels in the desert

The back is real, the person is fake, there is no attachment

100 years ago you were not you and I was not me

Sorrow is real, tears are fake, there is no cause and effect

100 years later without you and without me

.......

After the song ended, Lin Anqiao came back from his thoughts.When the singing stopped abruptly, the venue was completely different from that after Tana finished singing. It was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.In this way, after more than ten seconds, there was applause no less enthusiastic than Tana.

Gerna's face became a little embarrassed at this time, the smile on her face continued to escalate, but the violence escalated: "Tana, how do you think she sings?"

Tana glanced at her sister, raised her head and said frankly, "If Yang Xi received professional training, she would become the best singer."

Yang Xi looked at Tana flattered, and curtseyed with a smile on her face.

After Yang Xi returned to his seat, Lin Anqiao grabbed Yang Xi's hand with a full face of excitement: "You are amazing! Tana's evaluation is very correct." The excitement on Lin Anqiao's face was like that of an inexperienced young Like a child, it makes Yang Xi's heart itch.

The business leaders at the venue also began to praise Yang Xi one after another, making Gerna's face more and more uneasy.Lin Anqiao discovered this in time, and hurriedly pulled Yang Xi up.

"Miss Gerna," Lin Anqiao smiled politely, "Let's take our leave first, thank you for your hospitality today."

Gerna didn't hold back either, she stood up and nodded, half-squinting her black and blue eyes as she watched the backs of Lin Anqiao and Yang Xi disappear at the end of the corridor.
