Chapter 1344: Dream Lover / Xiaolu on Stage

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“No wonder I think he is acting weird!” Chen Mengyan was not stupid. “It turns out that he had seen you and Lin Zhiyun being too close, so he came to tell me about it! I was wondering why he suddenly told me about Sister Lin.”

“I hope he can settle down.” Yang Ming sighed and said somewhat helplessly, “My Mengyan doesn’t like me to beat people up, but some people deserve a beating!”

Chen Mengyan heard Yang Ming’s words, and she could not help but smile. “What kind of analogy is that? Let’s just ignore him. I do not believe that Sister Lin will fall in love with someone else. If you beat him up, that means you do not trust us.”

After listening to Chen Mengyan’s words, Yang Ming quickly explained, “How could I not trust you all? I’m just afraid that this guy will become annoying.”

“There are more annoying people. Are you going to beat them up one by one? Are you an ambassador for peace?” Chen Mengyan said, “You’re still acting like this. You aren’t young anymore. Can’t you be more mature? Do you know how worried I am when you fight?”

“Alright, I will listen to you.” Yang Ming also knew that Chen Mengyan never liked him fighting. Unlike the girl – Jing Xiaolu, Chen Mengyan’s upbringing was different from an early age. She was not excited when she saw a boy fighting for her.

Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan entered the auditorium in a low-key manner. They walked from the aisle to their seats, but the students with keen eyes saw them.

“Yang Ming! Yang Ming! Yang Ming –” The students cheered spontaneously as they saw Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan.

“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss-” Seeing Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan holding hands, the students couldn’t help but get excited…

In their view, Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan were a perfect match between a boy and a girl. They were indeed the ideal couple. Seeing their affection on the stage, the students hoped their relationship would go further.

On the stage, several players were singing rock and roll. When they suddenly heard the audience’s cheer, they were still complacent at the beginning. They thought that their voices were more powerful than Xu Wei and Cui Jian. Then, they escalated their singing.

But when they listened carefully, they found that it was not right. Why is the audience cheering, “kiss?” Who is to be kissed? Who is kissing?

After listening carefully, their faces turned sour. It was because the people below the stage shouted: “Yang Ming” instead of Rock and Roll Little Wang. This guy was depressed for a while. Motherf*cker, is my performance incomparable to a poetry recitation?

He had been preparing backstage, so he didn’t see Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan’s shocking scene. Hence, Rock and Roll Little Wang was wondering how a poetry reading could attract so many people.

Most likely, it was because of Yang Ming’s popularity! Everyone supported the poetry reading, and it was actually to support Yang Ming, so they cheered. Thinking of this, Rock and Roll Little Wang was a little discouraged.

Originally, he wanted to make a hit in the school art festival. His idea was to set up a campus band. Then, he would write some songs and start a concert. It was best to release an album. Then, he would be famous.

Therefore, before the rehearsal, he deliberately found the Student Union cadre and persuade them to arrange for him a slot behind a poetry recital performance! Why was this arranged? It was because Rock and Roll Little Wang thought about it. Comic dialogues, short films, piano playing, solo singing, and so on were very attractive. However, this poem recitation was not interesting, so Rock and Roll Little Wang had the Student Union arrange his performance to be after this poem recitation!

There was a purpose why a poetry recitation was scheduled beforehand. Rock and Roll Little Wang could utilize the sharp contrast with the boring poetry recitation to bring out the shock from Rock and Roll when he came on stage. With that, he could get more support from the students.

But what he didn’t expect was that Yang Ming replaced You Zhengmin, who was supposed to recite poetry, at the last minute. As a result, he shot himself in the foot.

However, it couldn’t be helped. Since Rock and Roll Little Wang had to go on stage, he could only admit that he was unlucky. He held his throat and continued to scream on the stage. The audience below stage had an enthusiastic response. They were just not responding to him.

Yang Ming glanced at Chen Mengyan; she was shy and looked down. Yang Ming suddenly lifted Chen Mengyan’s little face with his hand and kissed her brazenly.

It happened in a glimpse; Yang Ming didn’t kiss for too long. He didn’t want to be seen by the people in the audience, but even then, the students in the audience still erupted!

Everyone stood up and cheered loudly. Whistles, light sticks, and applause filled the entire hall. Yang Ming also pulled Chen Mengyan back to the seat during the outburst of cheers.

“What did you do just now?! You scared me to death.” Sitting down, Chen Mengyan patted her chest and said, due to the aftershock, “You suddenly kiss me and let others see a joke.”

“When you were backstage, did you not initiate the kiss?” Yang Ming smiled and said.

“It was because there were fewer people!” Chen Mengyan finished speaking and she blushed again. “Hmph, you’re making fun of me. I will ignore you.”

However, despite this, Chen Mengyan had no intention to ignore Yang Ming. Her small hand tightly held Yang Ming’s big hand.

“Probably, the singer on the stage would hate us deeply.” Yang Ming pointed to Rock and Roll Little Wang who was on the stage and was uncomfortable.

“What does it have to do with us?” Chen Mengyan rolled her eyes at Yang Ming.

“Right, can’t you remember when we were sitting side by side in the auditorium for the first time?” Yang Ming suddenly had a very warm feeling, holding Chen Mengyan’s hand, feeling very steady.

“How can I not remember?” How would Chen Mengyan forget it? She and Yang Ming had a close relationship for the first time; they started watching movies together since Grade 12. It was also from then that the two people had settled down in their relationship. “I was bullied. Zhang Bing thought we had a puppy love…”

“Did we not?” Yang Ming was a little brazen. “You helped me do that at that time…You still want to say that you weren’t my girlfriend?”

“I dare you to say that again. Do you believe that I won’t help you again?” Chen Mengyan’s face was flushed as she heard it, glaring at Yang Ming, but then she became discouraged. “Ai, now I can’t threaten you. In a month, when it is inconvenient for me 1 [1], during those few days, you can find someone else…”

Yang Ming seemed to hear a hint of jealousy from Chen Mengyan’s words. He was shocked and wanted to say something, but then he heard Chen Mengyan say, “However, I can join others to boycott you.”

Looking at Chen Mengyan’s gaze, Yang Ming shook his head.

“I am tired. I’m going to close my eyes and rest for a while. You can find Sister Lin to play around.” Chen Mengyan did not want to snub Lin Zhiyun because of her chatting with Yang Ming. Hence, she rested her head on the back of the chair and closed her eyes.

“Sister Mengyan, look! Jing Xiaolu is on the stage!” Lin Zhiyun suddenly turned her head and said to Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan.

“Oh?” Chen Mengyan naturally knew Jing Xiaolu. The misunderstanding in the past was resolved, and now she was helping Yang Ming handle things. Chen Mengyan had no bad feelings about her, and their relationship was not bad. When she heard Lin Zhiyun’s words, she quickly opened her eyes and looked at the stage.

Sure enough, Jing Xiaolu came on stage. It was just that… why did she dress so familiarly? Chen Mengyan thought about it and knew who Jing Xiaolu who was imitating. She touched Yang Ming with her arm and said, “Hey, your dream lover came onto the stage.”

“Ah?!” Yang Ming was shocked. Did Chen Mengyan notice there was something flirty between Jing Xiaolu and me? His face changed, and he quickly looked up at the stage…

Xiaolu on Stage

At first glance, Yang Ming was relieved and realized why Chen Mengyan would say that! Jing Xiaolu’s costume on the stage was based entirely on the popular celebrity, Shu Ya, in concert.

Is she also a fan of Shu Ya? Yang Ming shook his head. It seems that Shu Ya is really popular now. Even Jing Xiaolu has become her fan. I wonder how Jing Xiaolu would feel when she found out that the famous celebrity, Shu Ya, is her sister 1 [2] too…

Wait… Yang Ming really wanted to slap himself. Motherf*cker, why did I think about this? Jing Xiaolu has nothing to do with me now. Why did I count her in? Yang Ming quickly shook his head. Did I fall for her?

Jing Xiaolu sang the song “Recover Lost Love” from Shu Ya’s new album. Since Jing Xiaolu’s voice was great and her imitated actions and expressions were also in place, it attracted huge cheers from the audience when she just sang a line.

“I didn’t expect that. Was Xiaolu’s singing always so good?” Chen Mengyan suddenly forgot about the matter where she had to rest previously and suddenly became spirited.

Yang Ming was also amazed. He had never heard Jing Xiaolu sing. Such talent would allow her to participate in a talent show like Super Girl [3]. But thinking about it, singing was not Jing Xiaolu’s development direction. She should have been fascinated with her career now.

“We should invite her to karaoke some time…” Chen Mengyan said casually, but after she realized that Yang Ming was looking at her incredulously, her face blushed. She said shyly, “Previously, you were also not at home. Sister Lin, Jiajia, and I were bored. We went out and strolled around, but we fell in love with KTV…”

Yang Ming didn’t expect Chen Mengyan to go to these entertainment venues, but he was fine with it after giving a few thoughts. When he was in high school, Chen Mengyan was naturally an obedient kid; she would not go to such entertainment venues. However, now she was going to college; it was very common to go to KTV to sing together with classmates. Since the last time Shu Ya invited Chen Mengyan to sing on the same stage, Chen Mengyan also took a fancy to singing. When she was at home, she would sing one or two phrases.

However, Yang Ming felt that it was necessary to remind Chen Mengyan with a few words, “Mengyan, when I am not at home, you should try not to go out and stroll around, especially at night! You three are so beautiful. What would you do if you meet bad guys? KTV is a particularly complicated place. Anyone could be there…”

Hearing that Yang Ming cared about her, Chen Mengyan felt warm and amused in her heart. She smiled, “We went to the Nightless Club where the bosses know us.”

Yang Ming patted his head and felt that his words were a little funny. I’m really over concerned. The Nightless Club is my territory, and Bao Sanli is in charge of it. When Chen Mengyan and the girls go, who dares to find them trouble?

Even without this relationship, Uncle Chen was now the bureau chief of the city bureau. Which unconstrained gangsters dared to offend Chen Mengyan? Most likely, as long as Chen Mengyan says who her father is, those who want to have ill intentions on her will sneak away.

“I see.” Yang Ming nodded and smiled. “But it’s not safe to go outside at night. How about this? I will have Bao Sanli move the Nightless Club’s sound system to the house. Let’s just sing at home.”

“I don’t want that. We will lose the atmosphere like that.” Chen Mengyan shook her head. “Moreover, I go with my classmates sometimes. How can I take them home?”

“Alright, then you should be careful.” Yang Ming heard Chen Mengyan said this but said nothing. However, Yang Ming had already made plans. Victoria should have gradually become familiar with the environment here. He was looking for an opportunity for her to meet Chen Mengyan. With that, she could protect Chen Mengyan in secret. Thinking of this, Yang Ming also was assured in his heart.

Jing Xiaolu’s voice once again evoked a climax of the party, which made the atmosphere of the party active again. However, Jing Xiaolu did not accept the audience’s plan to have her sing another song. She sang this song because Yang Ming’s car recently played the MP3 of this song. Jing Xiaolu thought that Yang Ming liked to listen to this song, so she practiced secretly and sang to Yang Ming at this party.

Jing Xiaolu was actually unwilling to perform for others. The current Jing Xiaolu was different from before. She would find some ways to make herself a celebrity in the school in the past. Now, she just wanted to appear nice in front of Yang Ming. For others? Jing Xiaolu was too lazy to bother.

After going down the stage, Jing Xiaolu deliberately looked in the direction Yang Ming was. She knew that Yang Ming, Chen Mengyan, and Lin Zhiyun were sitting together. Jing Xiaolu initially wanted to join them, but after weighing the pros and cons, Yang Ming wouldn’t be willing to have her hanging around him so badly. Hence, she sat with Ge Xinyao.

Under the dim seas of the crowd, the lights were gloomy. Jing Xiaolu didn’t have a special ability like Yang Ming’s x-ray vision and telescopic vision. After looking around for a long time, she didn’t see Yang Ming. She had to go back to her seat and sit down helplessly.

“Xiaolu, I thought you would confess on stage!” Ge Xinyao was disappointed. She saw that Jing Xiaolu tried very hard to practice this song recently. She also knew that Jing Xiaolu sang this song in dedication to Yang Ming. As for others, Jing Xiaolu would definitely not care.

Ge Xinyao originally thought that Jing Xiaolu would say something at the end of the song. At the very least, she would hint it secretly, suggesting that her song was sung for someone. However, Ge Xinyao was disappointed. Jing Xiaolu stepped down without saying anything.

“What confession?” Jing Xiaolu didn’t understand what Ge Xinyao was saying.

“Confess to Yang Ming!” Ge Xinyao said, “I thought that you would give a hint to Yang Ming. This is a good opportunity. Why didn’t you catch it?”

“Confess? Opportunity?” Jing Xiaolu finally understood what Ge Xinyao meant. She couldn’t help but smile bitterly. “Sister Xinyao, are you not trying to kill me? Didn’t you see Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan showing deep infatuation previously? If I went to confess to Yang Ming, Yang Ming could get it, and Chen Mengyan would get it naturally, too. What should I do if they were hostile toward me? You thought I am Lin Zhiyun! Chen Mengyan’s position in Yang Ming’s heart could be seen from the previous performance. If Chen Mengyan wanted to obstruct it, am I not completely out of business?”

“Lin Zhiyun… Didn’t Chen Mengyan accept her?” Ge Xinyao asked inexplicably.

“Can that be the same? Sister Lin has gone to bed with Yang Ming. I’m still a virgin!” Jing Xiaolu said amazingly, “I have to fight for a chance to dedicate myself. Otherwise, it will always be an unstable factor.”

“Puff…” Ge Xinyao listened to Jing Xiaolu’s words and almost choked with a sigh of relief. “Then… I wish you a quick dedication…”

“Thank you…” Jing Xiaolu winked her eyes and was very happy with Ge Xinyao’s blessing.

“Right, Xiaolu. There is a class reunion in a few days. The class monitor, Xu Zaibao, back then called and asked the two of us to participate.” Ge Xinyao was in the same class as Jing Xiaolu when they were in high school.

“Xu Zaibao? He could find me?” Jing Xiaolu was surprised after hearing it. This was also one of the dumb rich guys who Jing Xiaolu had fooled. He spent a lot of money on Jing Xiaolu but did not earn any advantages.

“I don’t know, but he also invited you.” Ge Xinyao shook her head. She hadn’t kept in contact with Xu Zaibao for a long time. “But the class reunion probably is also the result of many people discussing it in the group. It is most probably the result of everyone’s discussion. At the very least, everyone should be notified beforehand.”

“Then, are you going?” Jing Xiaolu thought about it and asked Ge Xinyao.

“Of course, I’m going. I’m going to bring Bi Hai along. Although your Brother Hai is not in our class, he is also from our school. He is from the year ahead of us. Many of our classmates know him.” Ge Xinyao had the intention to show off in front of their classmates. Bi Hai had now changed from the original punk to the property manager of the city’s largest villa district, bringing out quite some fame.

Since Yang Ming built the villas in the original Shanty Town, which bordered the previous villa area, the property company in the villa area was under the responsibility of the original Wang Group. Now, Ming Yang Real Estate of Ming Yang Entertainment had taken over it.

Bi Hai was a great fellow. The most important thing was that he had a connection with Yang Ming, so Bao Sanli asked him to be the property manager in the villa area. From a small security manager to a property manager, it was a breakthrough.

After the completion of the new villas here, Bi Hai was in charge of the property. The residents here were rich; the property fees were quite high. The property manager’s job could be said to be a luxurious job. Not only could one make connections with dignitaries, but also the salary and bonuses doubled. Even his car had changed from the original broken van to the current Volkswagen Magotan [4].

Moreover, this Magotan car license belonged to the security company. It was the privileged civil police number plate that had become capital for Ge Xinyao to show off.

Hence, she must attend this class reunion. The most important thing was to let her classmates, who looked down on her before, see how well was she now!
