C213 Perfectly Surpassing the Scene of Great Embarrassment

"You're actually going to sing?"

Suen Haoyang was somewhat taken aback.

He had expected Lin Dong to turn him down again.

Lin Dong nodded, "Yeah, I was considering your feelings earlier. I didn't want to crush your spirit, but since you asked so nicely, it wouldn't be right to refuse, would it?"

Suen Haoyang was speechless.

He hadn't anticipated Lin Dong's brazen attitude.

He had been all set to put Lin Dong in his place.

But Lin Dong's remark left him at a loss for words, unable to muster a response.

Before, Suen Haoyang had been all talk and performance, thinking he could dominate the room and easily overshadow Lin Dong.

Yet now, he found himself completely disarmed by Lin Dong's casual comment.

Suen Haoyang stood there, feeling awkward. It didn't seem right to leave, but staying put felt just as uncomfortable.

"Master Suen, could you cue up 'My Lifelong Love' for me?"

Lin Dong, seated comfortably on the couch, addressed Suen Haoyang.

"Come on, Suen Haoyang, you wanted Lin Dong to sing, right?" Tian Meihui chimed in.

"Alright, I'm on it," Suen Haoyang replied, heading off to select the track.

He felt a surge of frustration as he walked away.

He was supposed to be the leader of the group, the one who had brought everyone together for fun. Now, he found himself playing the role of Lin Dong's errand boy, searching for his song!

But it was he who had insisted on Lin Dong singing.

Lin Dong's request had put him in a bind—if he refused, he'd come off as too proud, so he had no choice but to follow orders.

So, he had to swallow his pride, no matter how bitter it tasted.

With reluctance, Suen Haoyang found the song.

"Lin Dong, it's ready," Suen Haoyang called out.

Lin Dong nodded, "Great, step aside. Could you check if the drinks have arrived?"

"Sure!" Suen Haoyang instinctively nodded and headed towards the door.

He stopped halfway, his frustration mounting. Why should he check on the drinks? If Lin Dong wanted them, he could check himself!

As Suen Haoyang turned back, he saw Ma Chenchen and Tian Meihui gazing adoringly at Lin Dong, eagerly anticipating his performance.

Everyone else seemed to be in their own world, completely oblivious to Suen Haoyang's frustration.

Damn it!

Suen Haoyang was so furious that he clenched his fists!

His eyes burned with resentment as he glared at Lin Dong, secretly hoping for Lin Dong's singing performance to be a disaster—a spectacular flop would be ideal!

That would highlight his own excellence and superiority!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Dong, the center of attention, began to sing.

"Once upon a time,"

"Now,"

"What's gone is gone, never to return,"

"Scarlet,"

"Fallen leaves,"

"Buried deep within the dust..."

As Lin Dong's voice soared, the 'Max Level Beautiful Voice' skill, a reward from the system, was passively activated.

He was merely singing along to the lyrics casually.

Yet, his voice was automatically refined by the max level skill, transforming into a melodious tone that resonated throughout the room, carrying an otherworldly rhythm.

The enchanting melody seemed to transport everyone to a meadow scattered with wildflowers.

Bathed in the warm sunlight, everyone embraced their beloved, their eyes brimming with love.

It was as if a fairy, clad in a white gossamer gown, had stepped out from the moonlight, her graceful figure dancing in the soft glow, stirring the souls of all present!

Tian Meihui and Ma Chenchen couldn't resist clinging tightly to Lin Dong's arm, completely captivated by his voice and the profound emotions it evoked within them.

In that moment, they appeared as celestial beings under the moonlight, gazing at Lin Dong with eyes overflowing with affection.

Meanwhile, Tian Chao, Liu Wenming, and Zhou Hengyu were equally entranced, their hands intertwined with the girls seated beside them, naturally drawing closer together.

Even Suen Haoyang, who was standing at the door, was visibly shaken.

He had assumed Lin Dong was a loser, expecting his singing to be tone-deaf.

Yet, contrary to his expectations, Lin Dong's voice was incredibly pleasing, lacking the forced delicacy of his own, but rich with emotion that touched everyone deeply.

He felt as though his heart was melting.

The waiter, who had entered with drinks, was unaware of when he had arrived.

He too was captivated by Lin Dong's singing, and without realizing it, reached out and firmly grasped Suen Haoyang's hand.

Swaying gently to the sound of Lin Dong's singing, the two of them appeared as intimate lovers when viewed from behind, harmoniously beautiful together.

In that moment, everyone was utterly captivated.
