Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

A group of people played noisily from eight until eleven o'clock in the evening. Except for Su Qing, who firmly refused to sing, everyone else sang at least a couple of songs, including Lu Lin, who had sat aside and not participated in the socializing until then.

After entering the KTV and learning that Zhou Yuwen had booked a luxurious room, Lu Lin's face showed a bit of surprise, but it was only a slight surprise, and she didn't say much after that.

She continued sitting there quietly, listening to others sing.

Eventually, she couldn't resist any longer and lit up a slim cigarette.

Li Qiang had a crush on Shen Yu, but since Shen Yu ignored him, he had to shift his attention to Lu Lin, constantly stealing glances at her.

Seeing Lu Lin smoking, he boldly grinned and asked, "Can I have one?"

Lu Lin glanced at Li Qiang and handed him a cigarette.

She even pulled out a lighter and lit it for him. Li Qiang, pleasantly surprised, said he could do it himself.

But Lu Lin still helped him light it.

The two of them smoked and had a couple of drinks.

Zheng Yanyan and Chang Hao were singing, and Zheng Yanyan told Chang Hao to shut up because she wanted to sing solo, but Chang Hao insisted on playing the accompaniment.

"Get lost,"

"Hey hey,"

Just as Zheng Yanyan was about to start a fight with Chang Hao, Chang Hao stopped her and motioned for her to look in a certain direction. Curious, Zheng Yanyan turned her head and saw Lu Lin and Li Qiang smoking together.

Zheng Yanyan and Chang Hao exchanged a look and immediately walked over, understanding each other instantly.

Li Qiang felt somewhat foolish while with Lu Lin, as he had never seen a girl like her before and didn't know how to pursue her.

Meanwhile, Lu Lin just kept on smoking, turning her head to see Zhou Yuwen chatting with Su Qing.

Lu Lin seemed thoughtful.

After thinking for a while, she asked Li Qiang, "That roommate of yours, Zhou Yuwen, is he very rich?"

Li Qiang, still cautious while talking about Zhou Yuwen, waved his hands and said, "I don't really know."

"Oh," Lu Lin sounded disappointed.

After a pause, Li Qiang said, "Old Zhou is different from us; he seems to be involved in the underworld."

Lu Lin was startled, "The underworld?"

Li Qiang nodded vigorously, just about to continue speaking.

At that moment, Chang Hao came over and asked, "What are you two chatting about that's so fun?"

Seeing Chang Hao approaching, Li Qiang stopped talking and gave a sheepish grin.

Chang Hao said to Lu Lin, "Sister Lin, this isn't good, smoking without calling me? Only smoking here with Big Strong?"

Saying so, Chang Hao naturally picked up Lu Lin's pack of cigarettes and asked what kind they were.

Indeed, compared to Li Qiang, Chang Hao was truly better at making friends. Lu Lin chuckled, leaned back on the sofa, and said it was burst beads. "Do you want to try one?"

"Sure,"

So the three of them started smoking. Zheng Yanyan looked on at the scene, speechless.

"Lu Lin, coming to KTV wasn't meant for you to smoke. You should at least sing one song."

Lu Lin replied, "I really can't, why don't you ask Zhou Yuwen to sing with you."

Zheng Yanyan glanced at Zhou Yuwen, who was chatting with Su Qing, and pouted, "He doesn't have the time. What song do you want to sing? I'll pick one for you."

"I can't."

"You're already here, just sing one song," Chang Hao also suggested.

"Yeah, why not sing a duet with Li Qiang?" Zheng Yanyan teased.

Li Qiang hurriedly waved his hands. In fact, Li Qiang felt somewhat inferior. He said no way, I'm terrible at singing.

"Don't make it difficult for others!"

As he said this, Li Qiang stole a glance at Lu Lin, afraid that she would reject him.

Lu Lin, however, just chuckled lightly, "Then just sing one song."

"?" Li Qiang was taken aback, not expecting Lu Lin to agree.

Actually, Lu Lin didn't care about all this. She had been sitting on the sofa the whole time with her legs crossed, and even asked Chang Hao to help her choose songs.

When Chang Hao asked her what song she wanted to sing,

Lu Lin asked Li Qiang what song he wanted to sing.

This really stumped Li Qiang. He thought for a long time but couldn't find the right song. He had heard "Bare-Faced," but he didn't know how to sing it, and "Little Love Song" was not bad.

But Lu Lin said she didn't like to sing that song.

"Do you know 'Thousands of Que Songs'?" Lu Lin asked.

"I've heard it," Li Qiang said.

He had heard it, but he didn't know how to sing it. Lu Lin said it was no big deal, that he should just hum along to the music and she would lead him.

Since Lu Lin said so, Li Qiang definitely agreed.

So they selected "Thousands of Que Songs," and when the music started, everyone was indeed taken aback. Li Qiang had thought about singing along, but when Lu Lin started singing, it was in Cantonese.

This made everyone in the room take a second look, including Zhou Yuwen, who took a closer look at Lu Lin. He found that Lu Lin had good singing skills and her Cantonese was very standard.

Slowly looking back

At the evenings that once belonged to us

Zhou Yuwen could also sing this song, and Su Qing, knowing that Zhou Yuwen liked it, asked him in a pique why he wasn't singing along.

Zhou Yuwen said with a smile, "It's her solo performance, why should I add to the chaos?"

Su Qing snorted coyly, saying, "I thought you wanted to steal the spotlight."

Zhou Yuwen laughed, looking at Su Qing acting all jealous like a young girl. He said, "If you weren't chasing after me to be in a relationship, being friends would actually be possible."

Zhou Yuwen spoke sincerely. She was his ex-wife after all, and she had been reborn with him. He couldn't just ignore her, but what he needed now was to keep a certain distance from Su Qing, to ensure she wasn't as controlling as she had been before.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing felt a pang in her heart and said, "So you mean to say, you can be friends with me?"

"Why not?" Zhou Yuwen said with a laugh, analyzing their relationship with Su Qing—they came from the same place and attended the same school.

"Look, you're so pretty. I'd definitely like to be friends with you, but I really don't intend to date in college," Zhou Yuwen said.

Hearing Zhou Yuwen say this, a smile crept over Su Qing's lips that she couldn't hide, yet she didn't want to admit it. She struggled for a long time before speaking in a voice too soft for Zhou Yuwen to hear, "Huh, what did you say?"

"I said you're really pretending!"

Su Qing said.

Zhou Yuwen nodded, asking, "With so many flaws, why do you still keep chasing after me?"

"Hmph, you know why I do this, don't you?" Su Qing stared at Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen shook his head: "I really don't know."

Su Qing was too lazy to expose him now. She still thought it highly likely that Zhou Yuwen had been reborn with her, but there was a small chance that he was the original person from this world. However, none of these mattered much.

Although she didn't know why Zhou Yuwen was adamant about not dating, it was fine, considering that she had already dated him for several years in her previous life. This lifetime, she thought, should be devoted more to herself.

Therefore, Su Qing actually agreed with Zhou Yuwen's idea of not dating but just being friends, so Su Qing said that she planned to go abroad for further studies during her sophomore year.

Zhou Yuwen said that was your own business, you just decide for yourself.

The two, putting aside Su Qing's obsession, had a pretty enjoyable chat.
