Chapter 308: Do Not Persuade Others to Be Good_2
The common characteristic of these two people is that they are still unmarried. The bald-headed programmer doesn't have time to date, while the classmate who opened a foot massage parlor has too many choices, often changing girlfriends, and hasn't settled down yet. He recently broke up with another one, so he's currently single.
While they were talking, Tang Mengjie suddenly ran over and pulled Chen Feng, saying, "Chen Feng, come on, let's sing a song together. Hurry, it's about to start."
Chen Feng was pulled to stand up reluctantly and said with a frown, "I can't sing."
"You can't sing this 'Rooftop'?" Tang Mengjie looked surprised.
"I can't sing it." Chen Feng shook his head. He really meant it; he had heard the song but truly didn't know how to sing it.
"How about 'Beautiful Myth'? You should at least know that one, right?" Tang Mengjie asked persistently.
"I can sing a bit, but the song is too challenging, and I won't do it well."
"As long as you can sing, it's fine. It doesn't matter if it's not perfect; we're not in a competition. Having fun is the most important thing."
Tang Mengjie said as she affectionately hooked her arm around Chen Feng's, and they walked towards the TV. Chen Feng clearly felt the soft touch on his arm, making him speechless.
Tang Mengjie was really something. Even though Liu Ying had already mocked her, and Chen Feng clearly expressed that he wasn't interested, she still insisted on coming over.
Being a female classmate, Chen Feng naturally couldn't just push her away in such a setting. With no choice, he let her hold his arm and stood in front of the big-screen TV, then took a microphone from her hand.
The song quickly changed to 'Beautiful Myth,' which started with a male voice. Chen Feng stared at the screen and slowly began to sing.
Fortunately, the melody of this song is relatively simple, and everyone had heard it before, so it's quite familiar. The high notes were a bit difficult, but as long as he lowered his voice, he could reach them.
As Chen Feng sang, aside from some initial tremors, he became more stable the more he sang. Although it wasn't at a professional level, at least the diction was clear, and he stayed in tune.
However, with Tang Mengjie beside him acting coquettishly and occasionally casting flirtatious glances, it really made Chen Feng uncomfortable.
After the song ended, besides a few people, everyone else showed face by clapping and cheering.
"Chen Feng, you actually sang quite well, and you said you couldn't sing." Tang Mengjie lightly patted Chen Feng on the arm with an ambiguous expression, "Why don't we sing another song?"
"Tang Mengjie, do you want to hog the mic? You've been singing several songs in a row. Next, I'll sing one with Chen Feng."
At this moment, Liu Ying suddenly stood up and walked over to them, directly reaching for the microphone from Tang Mengjie.
She had been chatting happily with some classmates just now and accidentally let Tang Mengjie seize the opportunity. Now noticing, she certainly didn't want Tang Mengjie to continue pestering Chen Feng.
Tang Mengjie looked a bit upset, but she had indeed sung a few songs in a row. In front of so many people, it wasn't good for her to insist on monopolizing the mic after being called out by Liu Ying.
"Alright then, sing away." Tang Mengjie handed the microphone to Liu Ying straightforwardly, then shifted the topic, "But it's not really appropriate for you to sing with Chen Feng, right?"
Liu Ying took the microphone and sneered, "It's appropriate for you, but not for me?"
Tang Mengjie laughed and said, "I remember back in the classroom, you swore that Chen Feng chasing after you was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, wishful thinking, and that you would never have anything to do with him. That everyone should pretend not to know each other after that, and also..."
"Enough!" Liu Ying shouted, interrupting her angrily, almost unable to resist slapping Tang Mengjie.
Tang Mengjie really hit a sore spot of hers. Back then, she had ruthlessly humiliated Chen Feng in front of many classmates and said many harsh words, some of which she couldn't even remember now. Unexpectedly, Tang Mengjie remembered all of it. This was undoubtedly a stain on her life, a major blunder (a miscalculation).
Because of that incident, Chen Feng couldn't truly open up to her now, unable to be as passionately infatuated with her as he was at the beginning.
Thinking of this, Liu Ying couldn't help but resent Cao Jun again for spreading rumors about Chen Feng back then.
Meanwhile, Cao Jun was currying favor with Jiang Shasha, leaning over and whispering something with a smile, but unfortunately, Jiang Shasha didn't look amused at all and, like everyone else, was watching this scene.
"Okay. I won't sing, and neither should you. Come sit with me over there."
After saying this, Chen Feng naturally took Liu Ying's hand, leading her to his previous seat amid the surprised gazes of everyone. Then he naturally made the programmer classmate move over, making room for Liu Ying to sit beside him.
Liu Ying didn't expect Chen Feng to suddenly take her hand. This action, even between classmates, was clearly too intimate. Being adults, everyone knew what this meant.
Their gaze towards them was instantly filled with curiosity and peculiarity.
Tang Mengjie was also stunned, standing there forgetting to react. Now she understood why Liu Ying had been so against her from the start. It turns out Liu Ying already had something going on with Chen Feng.
Thinking of this, Tang Mengjie felt a wave of bitterness and discouragement. Although she was confident in her looks, compared to Liu Ying, she wasn't quite comparable.
The only advantage over Liu Ying was that she hadn't been married yet, but the fact she was once kept by someone was almost known to everyone in the class, and it wasn't any better.
Of course, she never thought of becoming a couple with Chen Feng, but just wanted to get close to him, hoping to become his lover. Even if it didn't happen, she hoped to cling to his thigh for some benefits.
"Chen Feng, Liu Ying, are you... together?"
The question came from Zhang Kewei, representing the curiosity of everyone present.
Hearing this, Liu Ying shyly lowered her head slightly but then turned her head to look at Chen Feng with affection, confessing without words. It was what she hoped for.
To confirm their relationship in front of so many classmates.
Unfortunately, Chen Feng didn't let her have her way and lightly said, "We're not technically together yet, just trying to see how it goes. Since we're both divorced, we need to be cautious."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions varied, with the male classmates showing envy and jealousy. As Liu Ying's classmates, even married Yuan Hua had thoughts about her, often fantasizing about her in their dreams.
Even though Liu Ying had a child and got divorced, she remained a beauty, as charming as ever, looking more beautiful than before. Her being single was a big draw for the male classmates, part of the reason they showed up today, hoping to seize the opportunity as Liu Ying was unclaimed.
But now Liu Ying became Chen Feng's exclusive, and it seemed Chen Feng didn't value her much.
Infuriating, isn't it?
