Mysterious Assistant of the Washed-Up Queen-Chapter 488 - 320: Chu Tian is Stunned_2

Instead, they walked slowly to the door, arm in arm, chatting idly.

"Tonight’s sky is really beautiful."

"Right? The weather’s good, there’s not a single cloud in the sky, and the stars are shining so bright, it really is beautiful."

"Pity there’s no moon. Oh, right, why isn’t there a moon?"

"Haha, because it’s New Year’s Eve. There’s no moon on New Year’s Eve."

"Why’s that?"

"Well, you see, on the lunar calendar, New Year’s Eve is the thirtieth day of the twelfth month, and on this day..."

"Wow, you know so much. Hey, with all the songs you’ve written, do you have any about the moon?"

"The moon? Of course, I do!"

"Really? Sing a bit for me, I want to hear!"

"Okay, I’ll sing a few lines."

It wasn’t often that Xu Qingqiu showed such a girlish side. He felt like he finally tasted the sweet flavor of love. The key was that it was intoxicating.

Men seemed to really go for that sort of thing. The sweeter a girl acted, and the more she praised him, the more enthusiastic he’d become, almost to the point of being unstoppable.

So, after just a few compliments from Xu Qingqiu, Chu Tian couldn’t hold back anymore. He felt like he could float.

"Crescent moon, my love looks haggard"

"I raise my glass to toast the swirling snow" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Who caused the dust of past lives to stir up right and wrong"

"The fate’s decree, how many times must one go through reincarnation"

"..."

When it came to the moon, the first song that popped into Chu Tian’s head was this one by Jay Chou. Inevitably, the impression was too deep. After all, his defining song for falling in love with Jay Chou’s music was when a classmate sang "Hair Like Snow" at a party. Since then, he’d suddenly realized that songs could be sung this way, that there was such a unique flavor to them, and he had become hopelessly hooked on Jay Chou’s music.

But Jay Chou’s songs are not just for anyone to sing. Some are indeed difficult, while others are quite easy.

Yet most people can’t capture his unique flavor, which is the hardest part.

Fortunately, in this world, there was no Jay Chou, so others couldn’t tell whether he sang as well as Jay Chou. Without comparison, he was the first. Returning to the purest form of music allowed him to appreciate the charm of the songs even more.

"Beautiful."

"So beautiful, wow, you’re really amazing, to be able to sing on the spot like that. I really want to know how many treasures you have in your mind, it’s incredible!"

"Really? Is this considered amazing? I have more!"

He was buzzed. Chu Tian really was excited, completely disoriented by the sparkling look in Xu Qingqiu’s eyes. His mouth and brain weren’t coordinating; all he could think about was how to show off.

"More? I want to hear more~"

"You want more, huh? Here it comes!"

Heh, it’s my time to shine again! Just watch, I’ll dazzle you!

In Xu Qingqiu’s continuous praise, Chu Tian lost himself, thinking only of how to show his best.

"Moonlight-colored lady, fragrant"

"How long is the love that breaks the sword with tears"

"How much it hurts, words cannot express"

"Forgetting you"

"A lonely soul drifting with the wind"

"Who spares a thought for a lovelorn man"

"On this battlefield of the world"

"Amidst thousands of troops, who dares declare themselves king..."

"To pass the barricades of love, who dares attempt... COUGH COUGH"

He almost ran out of breath singing the song. It was a good song, but unfortunately, his voice wasn’t quite up to it, failing him at the critical moment.

"COUGH COUGH, sorry, it’s a bit high here, I can’t reach it."

Chu Tian looked down a bit embarrassedly. He’d wanted to impress his girlfriend but ended up failing miserably, feeling utterly abashed.

Then he suddenly felt Xu Qingqiu, who had been holding his arm, hug him even tighter.

"It’s okay, you already did great. It’s my fault about your throat. Don’t forget, you were the strongest among those trainees. I remember when you could even sing in a female key!"

Chu Tian looked at her in surprise. He thought he would embarrass himself, but he hadn’t expected that in Xu Qingqiu’s eyes, he had always been the best. The awkwardness in his heart had vanished with the wind before he knew it.

Now his eyes were full of Xu Qingqiu’s lovely face.

"Thank you, Qingqiu."

"No, I should thank you. And Chu Tian, you’ve worked hard..."

The two stood there on the flat ground in front of the villa, bathed in the starlight, casting long, blurry shadows. Their faces drew closer and closer, until they touched.

Inside the villa, Liang Yuehong and Sister Hua chatted for a while, but eventually, the conversation faltered, their gazes drifting to the door.

"Eh? Why haven’t they come yet? Did something happen?"

"Ah? Surely not?..."

Reminded by Liang Yuehong, Sister Hua suddenly realized that Chu Tian and Xu Qingqiu had not come in.

But Liang Yuehong didn’t know the situation. How could Sister Hua not understand? Those two must be whispering sweet nothings to each other outside. Oh wait, ’personal talk’ is more accurate. It’s not strange for a young couple to want some alone time. But the key is, Liang Yuehong is here! Sister Hua fretted inwardly.

"No way, I’ll go have a look. Why haven’t they come in yet? They couldn’t have fallen asleep in the car, could they?"

Liang Yuehong was genuinely worried, so she untied her apron, spun around, and walked outside.

"Hey hey hey, Auntie, what if... how about I go instead?"

"No need, you guys sit down. I’ll take care of it."

"It’s okay, Auntie, we’ll go."

"Sit down, all of you. I’m not so old I can’t walk. You sit tight. Today, you all listen to me. It’s just a few steps; I’ll go."

With that, she didn’t wait for the others to respond, grabbed a down jacket to throw on, and wearing slippers, stepped out. Sister Hua and Yiyi were scrambling to put down their fruit and fumbling with their shoes, but they couldn’t stop her in time.
