Chapter 53 - 53: The Heartbeat of Rebirth

After finishing the song, the KTV had a scoring system that displayed a comprehensive score of 97 points, ahead of ninety-nine percent of the performers. Once the score appeared, Chang Hao and the others continued to tease, and even Zheng Yanyan clapped her hands, saying how good it sounded! Zhou Yuwen’s singing was truly pleasant to hear, as he had learned some music in his past life, and he himself was a singing aficionado. Speaking of which, he had gone to KTV with Chang Hao numerous times in his previous life; these skills were all self-taught. Now that he was reincarnated, whether it was bodily functions or the five senses, he felt like he had a better grasp than in his previous life. For instance, singing a song in his past life felt ordinary, but in this life, singing always seemed more delightful. Maybe this was what they called "reincarnated person’s benefits". As everyone watched Zhou Yuwen and Shen Yu finish their song, they teased incessantly. Shen Yu was clearly a bit embarrassed, occasionally stealing glances at Zhou Yuwen. Chang Hao, feeling a bout of jealousy, quickly sidled up to Zheng Yanyan, saying, "Yanyan, Yanyan, what song do you like to sing? Let’s do a duet!" However, at this moment, Zheng Yanyan’s thoughts were on Zhou Yuwen. It was evident that Zhou Yuwen’s singing skills were superior to everyone present. For a girl like Zheng Yanyan, who enjoyed going out, there were countless trips to KTV during high school. Zhou Yuwen’s display of talent had certainly made her see him in a new light. "I don’t want to sing with you. I want to sing with Zhou Yuwen! Zhou Yuwen, sing ’Bare Face’ with me later!" Zheng Yanyan was frank and open about her feelings. "Hey, Yanyan, at least let Brother Zhou rest for a while! Why don’t you sing with me?" Chang Hao immediately pleaded. Nevertheless, Zheng Yanyan had already pulled Zhou Yuwen over to select ’Bare Face’. Zhou Yuwen, however, stated that he didn’t know how to sing it. "Who are you trying to fool? Who doesn’t know ’Bare Face’ these days?" Zhou Yuwen insisted that if he said he didn’t know how to sing it, then he didn’t. "Let Chang Hao sing with you," Zhou Yuwen said. "I don’t want to, he doesn’t sing as well as you do." "How will you know if you don’t give it a try?" No matter what, Zhou Yuwen refused to sing with Zheng Yanyan. Annoyed, she accused Zhou Yuwen of being biased, only having eyes for Shen Yu! "Heh! Yanyan, aren’t you talking nonsense? Isn’t Brother Zhou Su Qing’s?" Li Qiang asked with a grin. Only then did everyone notice Su Qing. Her face indeed didn’t look very good. Shen Yu also realized this and quickly handed the microphone to Su Qing, "Qingqing, what song do you want to sing? I’ll select it for you." "Yeah! Su Qing seems to have not sung yet, right? What song will you sing, Su Qing?" Chang Hao and a few others also noticed Su Qing’s expression and hurried to remedy the situation. "You guys sing, I don’t want to anymore," Su Qing said. "Don’t be like that, we rarely get together to have fun!" "Exactly, what song do you want? I’ll select it for you!" Su Qing, the girl, would not take the initiative to expose her own shortcomings, even if there was a ninety-nine percent chance the other person knew she was tone-deaf, she would never actively admit she was. So, she opened her mouth but, in the end, said nothing. Meanwhile, Shen Yu, sitting a bit away from them, had not yet come out of the ambiance created by her duet with Zhou Yuwen just now. The song "Red Beans" they had just sung was indeed beautiful. Most importantly, Zhou Yuwen had held her hand during the song. That was the first time a boy had held her hand. Even now, the palm of Shen Yu’s hand was still a bit itchy. And then Zhou Yuwen had just sung another song, "A Life with You." That song had also struck a chord in Shen Yu’s heart. The lyrics sang, "How many people have adored your youthful face." But who can withstand the changes of time. At this moment, Shen Yu’s heart had already developed a subtle feeling toward Zhou Yuwen. She kind of liked Zhou Yuwen. But the instant she began to have feelings for Zhou Yuwen, she suddenly remembered that she couldn’t do that, because Su Qing also liked Zhou Yuwen. Then, watching Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing chat over there, lost in thought, as her thoughts wandered, Shen Yu suddenly realized that the relationship between Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing didn’t seem that close, right? They seemed to have just met. And Zhou Yuwen didn’t seem to like Su Qing that much. Could it be that she should really give up just because of Su Qing’s feelings for Zhou Yuwen? The lights were dim in the karaoke room, the only brightness came from the MV playing on the screen, its white light flickering, reflected in Shen Yu’s eyes. The images from the MV shimmered within her dark pupils, and she sat there, lost in thought, wondering about what. She was struggling, beginning to understand why Su Qing liked Zhou Yuwen so much. Zhou Yuwen was handsome and cool, possessing a maturity unlike ordinary people. He had helped Su Qing when they were younger, which proved his kindness. The phone card incident showed his quick-thinking. Shen Yu felt that even after finishing university, she might not meet many boys like Zhou Yuwen. . Would she really have to bury this budding emotion in her heart just because of Su Qing’s fondness? Shen Yu was somewhat regretful, yet also somewhat unwilling to accept this.
