Chapter 111 The aloof academic genius is totally in love with him! (21)
The last day of the holiday.
The students in the experimental class got together for a meal, and afterwards went to a karaoke bar.
Song Zhihuai would never have participated in such events before, but Chu Yu specially invited him this time.
Song Zhihuai had to work the day shift that day, so he definitely wouldn't be able to make it to the dinner party, but he should be able to make it to the karaoke bar.
He was afraid of breaking his promise to the girl and disappointing her, so he only told her to try his best to come, and if he couldn't make it, he would definitely take her to karaoke alone next time.
Inside a KTV private room.
The room was dimly lit, with only occasional flashing light strips illuminating it.
Familiar melodies echoed through the room.
Seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boys and girls sat on a spacious sofa, their laughter and singing filling the air.
Chu Yu is tone-deaf and comes to this kind of event purely to listen to people sing, while Xu Jiayue is less willing to sing in front of so many people.
So the two huddled together on the sofa in the corner of the room, chatting and eating snacks. Xu Jiayue leaned close to her friend's ear and asked, "Is the class monitor coming or not? What did he tell you?"
Chu Yu shook her head and whispered in her ear, "I don't know either. He has to go to work today and can only come after he gets off work. He'll come if he can make it in time."
Actually, Xu Jiayue wasn't the only one waiting for Song Zhihuai to come.
The reactions of all the students in the class were almost identical when they heard that the class monitor had agreed to go to karaoke together.
Song Zhihuai once participated in a singing competition outside of school because the competition had sponsors and the winners received a prize.
Not many people know about this; at least Chu Yu only heard about it today.
This made her even more eager to hear Song Zhihuai sing.
The two girls were chatting so enthusiastically that they didn't notice that all the sounds around them suddenly disappeared.
It wasn't until she heard someone call Song Zhihuai's name that Chu Yu realized what had happened.
The door to the private room was pushed open from the outside, and the bright light from the corridor shone behind the boy, casting a shadow of light on his tall and straight figure.
Song Zhihuai seemed not to have expected to receive everyone's attention after opening the door. He paused for a moment before greeting everyone in a low voice, "Sorry I'm late, please continue."
As he spoke, his gaze swept around the large private room, and after locking onto his target, he quickly walked straight to that corner, ignoring the jeers and commotion around him.
Chu Yu stared at him from the moment he appeared, watching as the young man strode towards her without hesitation, stopped beside her, and then half-squatted down. "May I sit here?"
She and Xu Jiayue had been occupying a small three-seater sofa. When Song Zhihuai said that, the two of them very cooperatively moved to the side, making room for him.
Song Zhihuai thanked her softly, got up and sat down next to Chu Yu, handing her the bag he was carrying.
"what is this?"
The room was poorly lit, and the flickering light strip didn't shine on it for a long time. It wasn't until she took it that she could barely make out that it was a milk tea bag.
I opened the bag; inside were two cups, both hot.
Song Zhihuai leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Your period just ended, so don't drink anything cold. The other cup is for your friend."
This was the first time the two of them had been so close, using this perfectly legitimate excuse.
The boy's hot breath as he spoke sprayed onto her neck, and at that moment she was extremely grateful that the lighting was dim and no one noticed her flushed cheeks and ears.
"Thank you."
Xu Jiayue felt a little conflicted when she took the milk tea. She could only smile and drink it all down, even though it was a bit of a "dog food" (a term for public displays of affection) mixed with milk tea.
The classmates already knew about Song Zhihuai and Chu Yu's situation, but Song Zhihuai was usually aloof, so no one dared to joke about him casually.
Lu Yi was probably the person he was closest to in the class. With constant encouragement from his classmates, he finally mustered up the courage to take the microphone and call out to Song Zhihuai:
"Squad leader! You've come all this way, what song are you going to sing?"
Chu Yu subconsciously turned her head to look at Xu Jiayue. The light shone perfectly on the girl's face, and all the secrets buried in her heart seemed to suddenly have nowhere to hide at this moment.
Xu Jiayue's gaze fell on the boy holding the microphone in the center of the private room, her eyes filled with undisguised budding excitement.
Song Zhihuai's voice rang in my ears: "What do you want to hear?"
Chu Yu tilted her head to look at the boy who was so close to her, her lips curving slightly upwards. "There for you, is that alright?"
Song Zhihuai didn't answer immediately, staring at her intently for a few seconds before saying, "Okay."
The boy got up, walked to the karaoke machine, selected a song, and took the microphone to adjust it.
"This song, 'There for You,' is dedicated to my deskmate."
Inside the room, meaningful "oh"s rose and fell in an instant.
Chu Yu nestled on the sofa, holding her milk tea, pretending not to see the stares around her.
Song Zhihuai's voice was deeper and more magnetic when he sang, and his English pronunciation was also unique.
Like a gentle English gentleman softly singing a love song.
……
So when your tears roll down your pillow like a river
I'll be there for you
When you're screaming, but they only hear you whisper
I'll be loud for you
But you gotta be there for me too
……
Chu Yu could no longer hear any sounds around her.
She suddenly remembered that sentence.
"We once expressed our hidden affections most freely among a large group of friends."
But I only looked into his eyes, and I didn't care what the millions of people were cheering for.
After the song ended, the boy put down the microphone and returned to her side.
"Are you satisfied, my princess?"
When he went on stage, he said, "This song is dedicated to my deskmate."
He stepped down from the stage and returned to her side, asking, "Are you satisfied, my princess?"
Chu Yu had a vague feeling that some things would change completely from today onwards.
It seems that Song Zhihuai came here today just to sing a song for her, and then sat next to her and became invisible.
"Jiayue."
"What's the matter?"
"How about you go sing a song? Don't leave yourself with any regrets."
Xu Jiayue turned to look at Lu Yi, who was laughing and joking in the crowd, and thought for a few seconds before saying, "Okay."
I got up, walked to the karaoke machine, and selected "Coward".
I'm afraid of wasting the illusion of emotion.
I hate how I'm so prickly and defensive.
……
I like seeing you furrow your brow.
Call me a coward
Your expression was more ambiguous than that of a friend.
Lonely titles, sweet reproaches
It is unique and exclusive.
……
Chu Yu silently observed Lu Yi's reaction, trying to glean some details from his expression.
"Why are you looking at him?"
Song Zhihuai suddenly leaned closer and asked a question in a nonchalant tone.
The little girl had been staring at Lu Yi for at least a minute.
What catches your eyes?
A brightly colored, eye-catching bag.
Chu Yu couldn't help but chuckle, somewhat incredulous, "You haven't discovered what's going on between them yet, have you?"
The boy paused, clearly unaware of what she was referring to.
"She's always so attentive to me; I thought Teacher Song was just being overly sensitive!"
Song Zhihuai looked into her eyes and explained earnestly, "Because it's you."
Because it's you, I feel it with all my heart.
——oo——
Please remember to leave a loving review, little ones, in recognition of how hard I've worked these past few days!
Kiss kiss~
