C31 Singing

Sheng Geng's voice grew more impassioned, but Zhao Su's pitch climbed even higher. The song was a deliberate choice by Sheng Geng, filled with several challenging high notes meant to trip up someone like Zhao Su, who had only ever sung in large choirs. However, at the moment Sheng Geng was feeling triumphant, a soaring high note suddenly erupted, immediately drowning out his voice. Sheng Geng couldn't keep up, yet the other's voice remained robust and full-bodied.

"That was fantastic!"

"Zhao Su sings so well!"

"Luo Yuyan, your boyfriend has such an amazing voice, and you've kept it so well hidden—you're really clever."

The room burst into a round of warm applause. Luo Yuyan, shyly twisting the hem of her dress, said with a hint of pride, "I actually had no clue he could sing." Her words were modest, but her eyes were filled with an unmistakable sweetness as she looked at Zhao Su. She had always seen Zhao Su in a positive light, but his unexpected excellence made her heart grow even fonder.

Zhao Su smiled humbly and said, "Honestly, I'm pretty average. I've only participated in school-organized choirs."

His humility only intensified Sheng Geng's irritation. Meanwhile, the live stream was abuzz with excitement. "Incredible!"

"The Host is so talented."

The donation board lit up with new contributions. "Flowing Straight donates 100 fish balls!"

"Tianming watches the stars with a donation of 1 rocket!"

"Liang Tong, good job with a donation of 1 rocket!"

"Amazing Third Master donates a yacht!"

"That sounds amazing!"

"The host is so talented."

At the same time, the leaderboard for donations was updated.

"Fluent Speaker donated a hundred fish balls!"

"Watching Stars with Tianming donated a rocket!"

"Hello Liang Tong donated a rocket!"

"Amazing Third Master donated a yacht!"

"Rotten Cabbage donated a diamond!"

She knew that Zhao Su wasn't keen on such social events and intended to fill him in on the day's happenings later.

"Let's ask Zhao Su to sing another song," Zhao Yingying proposed.

"I'm not ready for this to end!" Huo Yingjiao added enthusiastically.

"Definitely," the others echoed in agreement.

Sheng Geng stayed quiet, wishing for nothing more than for Zhao Su to make a swift exit.

At that point, Zhao Su announced, "Everyone, it's getting quite late. Let's plan to meet up another time."

Having earned a whopping five billion, he was ready to leave.

Zhao Su's words left Huo Yingjiao and Zhao Yingying feeling let down, but they accepted his decision.

As Zhao Su and Luo Yuyan exited the private room, Sheng Geng watched them go, a flicker of spite in his gaze.

He wasn't about to let Zhao Su off the hook so easily.
