"Alright, let's leave before he changes his mind."
Hsieh Shih-chi also knew that Xue Yifan was in a lot of pain. She didn't want him to stay here and embarrass himself. After all, it was her meet-and-greet with her fans tonight.
"Bro, is this okay?"
Although Hsieh Shih-chi had spoken, Xue Yifan didn't dare to leave immediately. Instead, he asked for my opinion in case he had to suffer some physical pain.
"Yeah, didn't you notice that you're ugly to my girlfriend?"
I was a bit disgusted. Although Xue Yifan wasn't disfigured, his awl-like face really made people panic.
Xue Yifan felt awkward. He was never afraid of comparing his looks with others. He never thought that one day, his looks would be so low that he didn't dare to show himself in public.
Soon, Xue Yifan left dejectedly. His eyes were filled with resentment.
After Xue Yifan left, the atmosphere became a bit weird. Fortunately, the beautiful emcee wasn't a newcomer. "Alright, since the special guest has left, let's continue with our interactive segment."
"Sir, wait, wait," the beautiful emcee shouted when I was about to get off the stage.
"What?"
I turned around and asked indifferently. The beautiful emcee smiled apologetically. "I just wanted to ask if it's convenient for you to tell us the story between you and Xiao Qi."
It was obvious that this girl was a bit afraid of me. The scene of me beating up Xue Yifan was still fresh in my mind.
"Not interested."
I shook my head and rejected her bluntly. Actually, I was hesitant. At this moment, it seemed that I should make it clear to the audience that I didn't care about Xue Yifan's overbearing attitude, and not that he was Hsieh Shih-chi's boyfriend.
But after thinking about it carefully, what I said was the same as spilling water. If I denied it, how awkward would Hsieh Shih-chi be?
Looking at her expression, she didn't seem to be against it. Since the girl didn't mind, what else could I say? I'd better explain it to Guan Ruolan after I get off the stage.
"Alright, sir, why don't you interact with Xiaoqi for a bit?"
The beautiful host's watery eyes revealed a pleading look. In her headset, there were instructions from her superiors. At present, the total number of viewers of the major live broadcasting platforms has reached 40 million, which is almost the highest in history. Of course, what happened just now is no longer a gimmick, but a real gun.
This undoubtedly satisfied the appetite of the netizens who loved to watch the show.
I wasn't a cold-blooded person. Since the girl was begging me like this, I might as well agree. As for how to interact with her, I really didn't know.
Since I was right next to her, Hsieh Shih-chi was nervous and shy at the same time.
"Why don't we sing?" The beautiful host suggested when she saw that we were a bit reserved.
The fans in the audience also strongly requested me to sing a love song with Hsieh Shih-chi.
I was afraid that sister-in-law and the others would find out and sing a love song to each other.
Wasn't this just licking blood from the edge of a knife and courting death in fancy ways?
"Cough, I don't know her songs."
I smiled and couldn't help but blush. Such a big scene gave me an indescribable sense of satisfaction. No wonder there are so many talent shows nowadays. So many people want to become famous. However, only a few people can control the stage. For example, Hsieh Shih-chi, she was born for this stage.
"Huh?" My words were met with a wave of astonishment.
They really didn't expect that I, as Hsieh Shih-chi's "boyfriend", didn't know how to sing her songs. If they didn't see my methods, they would definitely think that I was pretending.
"Xiao Zhuang Zhuang, it's fine. What song do you want to sing? Just tell me, I can do it."
Xie Shiqi pursed her lips and did not get angry. Her bashful look was especially beautiful and alluring, so much so that many of the audience below the stage kept snapping away.
"Alright, let's sing 'The You Who Used to Be'. Is that okay?"
I pondered and said. I have always liked this song. Ever since I was young, I was hesitant. Now that I have a direction, I have gained a lot from the ups and downs along the way. Of course, I also have other reasons for choosing this song.
After a while, the accompaniment started. Hsieh Shih-chi and I sang this song together.
"Once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword, seeing the prosperity of the world … The girl who once made your heart ache has now disappeared without a trace. Love always makes you yearn for it, but it also makes you feel annoyed. It once covered you with cuts and bruises …"
Compared to Hsieh Shih-chi's cheerful singing style, I was more melancholic. Through these few lyrics, I vaguely expressed my own thoughts. To be honest, I didn't want Hsieh Shih-chi to fall in love with me. Because I already owed her enough emotional debt.
For a girl who treated me sincerely, I especially couldn't bear to let her down. However, I only had so much energy. For example, now that I have come to the capital, Nan Yun has a few wives waiting for me. In addition, Hsieh Shih-chi's celebrity status gave me an invisible pressure. It's not that I don't deserve her, but I prefer to live a quiet life.
Because I don't want to let Hsieh Shih-chi down, I have been keeping a distance from her. This is a contradictory mentality. However, I feel that this song symbolizes that I have gradually matured from a young age.
Most of the people in the hall were youngsters. This song resonated with them. Even though they were full of uncertainty about the future, they didn't stop moving forward.
However, I noticed that although Hsieh Shih-chi was very focused on singing, she didn't seem to understand my intention. Instead, she looked at me affectionately, which made me feel a little guilty. If I didn't guess it wrong, Hsieh Shih-chi still didn't know that I have more than one female confidante by my side.
Based on her personality, once she knew the situation, she might keep a respectful distance from me. Before she completely understands me, she might still be happy. However, when the time comes, she would blame me for playing with her feelings.
