Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 12 [012] Backstabbing Brothers, Right?

After the whole meal, everyone's feelings were up and down, hot and cold, but Ding Wenjie's feelings were the same, very stable.

He did not hate Xu Jinhuan because he did not realize that it was Xu Jinhuan who set the trap. He could not lock on the enemy and could only hate everyone except Xie Wanqing equally, especially the three boys.

"It seems like there's not enough room in our two cars,"

After dinner, they were about to go to KTV to sing. Ding Wenjie said directly to the three boys, "Take a taxi."

"It's okay, we'll take a taxi there."

Xie Wanqing had three roommates and two classmates. There was not enough room in her own car, so she shared one person with Ding Wenjie. Xu Jinhuan and Xie Zhiqiang were also arranged to ride in Ding Wenjie's Mercedes-Benz, and they went to the KTV together.

"Can you sing?"

Xie Zhiqiang and Xu Jinhuan always went to the Internet cafe together and had never been to KTV. After arriving at the private room, he asked him in a low voice.

Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment and said, "Not bad."

"It's okay, you don't have to pretend in front of me."

Xie Zhiqiang whispered, "If they ask you to sing later, you can come with me and I will guide you."

"it is good."

Xu Jinhuan nodded. Although Xiaoqiang was sometimes a little timid and afraid of things, he was still very loyal.

"You guys order your own songs."

Seeing that neither of them had ordered any songs, Xie Wanqing came over to remind them, "Eat whatever you want, I'll pay."

When they were having dinner just now, Ding Wenjie paid the bill first. Xie Wanqing deliberately emphasized that she didn't want him to pay again. She also noticed that several classmates didn't have a good impression of Ding Wenjie, and she was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable because Ding Wenjie paid.

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "Thank you, sister."

Xie Zhiqiang said, "I'll go order."

After ordering the songs, Xie Wanqing sang "Meng Po's Bowl". Although it didn't quite fit in with the birthday atmosphere, she sang well and everyone applauded.

The remaining songs were shuffled, and whoever sang it was their turn. Ding Wenjie also sang a song quickly. Perhaps he felt good about himself, as he looked much better and asked someone to bring dice to play with him.

Xu Jinhuan and his friend were excluded because they were underage and watched them play.

"Who ordered the West Sea Love Song?"

"not me."

After the song, the girl who had been singing put down the microphone and asked at the same time. Everyone looked at each other, and Xie Zhiqiang raised his hand weakly: "Me."

"You sing this?"

Xie Wanqing chuckled, then suppressed her laughter and nodded: "Okay, it suits your style."

She was just joking, teasing her brother about his listening style, but Ding Wenjie kept his composure and chimed in humorously, "Dao Lang's songs are so unfashionable..."

It suddenly went from a sibling joke to a disparagement of taste.

Xie Zhiqiang had always had a bad impression of Ding Wenjie, and now he was even more disgusted. He pretended not to hear and said to Xie Wanqing, "I can sing anyway."

"This song is pretty good, what's so tacky about it?"

Xu Jinhuan laughed and chimed in, "I like this song, too."

Another girl also said: "I also heard that this song is adapted from a true story. It seems that there were two volunteers in Hoh Xil who were in love. They had agreed to go home after the internship, but one of them died..."

"what?"

It was the first time for others to hear about this and they were all very surprised, especially the girls, who were obviously paying more attention to this song.

Xie Zhiqiang was touched when he saw Xu Jinhuan speaking up for him. He then saw Xu Jinhuan also picked up a microphone and thought he was singing along to prove that he liked the song, so he whispered, "Sing along with me."

He really liked this song, and sometimes he would howl along with it while taking a shower. He felt like he had transformed into a lone wolf who had lost love and was wandering in the desolate wilderness. He knew that this song was rather difficult to sing.

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "Okay."

As they were talking, the ending of the previous song and the prelude of "West Sea Love Song" had already ended. Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Xie Zhiqiang nervously held the microphone to his lips and sang along with the accompaniment: "Since you left, I have lost my tenderness. Waiting on this long road in the snowy mountains"

"Not bad!" Let alone the emotion, Xie Zhiqiang even sang several tunes wrong, but it was still pretty good. Xie Wanqing gave face to her brother and specially applauded him.

"come on! Come on!"

The others also encouraged him. Although Ding Wenjie didn't think it was very good, he was Xie Wanqing's younger brother, so he thought he was giving face and said, "It's good enough that you can sing it well."

Xie Zhiqiang was extremely nervous, but when he saw that he didn't make a fool of himself, he relaxed a little. Then he noticed that Xu Jinhuan had been silent and didn't say a word.

He thought Xu Jinhuan was afraid of being embarrassed and didn't dare to speak, so he secretly kicked Xu Jinhuan and signaled him to sing along with him.

Xu Jinhuan looked at him, and was silent for two seconds. Then he smiled, picked up the microphone, put it to his lips, and sang along: "I can't wait for the blue sky of the West Sea, and I am speechless about the vast plateau."

"Remember you promised me that you wouldn't let me..."

Xie Zhiqiang was singing attentively when he suddenly felt something was wrong. It felt like the original singer was playing. But when he listened carefully, it was obviously not the original singer. Although it had the same low and vicissitudes of life feeling, it was a clearly younger voice.

He subconsciously stopped talking, but he could still hear the deep young voice echoing in the box: "You can't find it, but you have to go so far to follow the migratory birds returning south..."

???

Xie Zhiqiang turned his head, his eyes fixed on Xu Jinhuan's face, and once again revealed an expression of disbelief.

You call this "okay"?
Okay, okay, brother will take you to sing. You want to play backstab on me, right?

Suddenly, he understood why Xu Jinhuan hadn't spoken just now. It was to prevent him from shutting up...

With Xu Jinhuan around, there’s nothing I can do about it!

The others were also stunned. They looked at Xie Zhiqiang, then at Xu Jinhuan beside him, all with expressions of disbelief and astonishment.

Ding Wenjie and the others who were originally playing dice couldn't help but look up, and then followed the others' gazes over.

"Love is like a kite with a broken string. I can't hold on to the promise you made. I am anxiously waiting for the warm spring on the top of the snow-capped mountains..."

Xie Zhiqiang listened to these lines that he could never sing with feeling, and when Xu Jinhuan sang them, they sounded like a younger version of the original singer, so he simply put down the microphone.

"Amazing!"

"Hide your true potential, little brother!"

After Xu Jinhuan finished singing a song, several girls immediately applauded excitedly, and these senior students did not forget to tease him.

Xie Wanqing was also surprised, clapping her hands and asking curiously, "You sing so well?"

Xu Jinhuan said, "It's okay, this is the only song I know."

Before he met Chen Xingzhu, he seldom went to KTV, and when he did, he was as silent as Liu Laolao entering Cao Ying. Later, he often accompanied her to sing, and learned how to sing from her.

He had heard the song "West Sea Love Song" a long time ago, but he couldn't say he liked it. It was not until one day when he heard the story of its creation that he felt a sense of empathy for some of the lyrics. Occasionally, when he accompanied clients to sing it, he couldn't refuse, so he would howl a few times under the influence of alcohol.

He can't be said to have any talent in singing, his singing is just at the average KTV level, but practice makes perfect, and his emotions can be controlled freely, so at first glance he still sounds very impressive.

"Want to play a couple of rounds?"

Seeing that Xu Jinhuan had inexplicably become the center of attention, Ding Wenjie began to approach him and brought Xie Zhiqiang along as well: "Xiaoqiang, come play too. If you lose, just drink some drinks."

"How about trying a couple of rounds?"

Xie Zhiqiang had just watched them play and was already itching to try it. After hearing what they said, he was immediately tempted and urged Xu Jinhuan, "If you don't know how, I can help you. It's very simple."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "Okay, let's play."

"Then I'll play too."

Xie Wanqing also said, "If I lose, I can drink half a cup, okay?"

The others naturally had no objections. Just as two people quit, three people joined, making a total of seven people playing together.

Ding Wenjie attentively helped to bring a stool, "Wanqing, please sit here."

Xie Wanqing could see that Ding Wenjie was in a bad mood and was not good at refusing. After hesitating for a moment, she sat down between Ding Wenjie and Xu Jinhuan.

They were playing the common game of "Boasting." Xie Wanqing was the first to shout. She had never played before, so she thought for a moment and then tentatively shouted, "Ten sixes?"
