"Is there a love duet, for a man and a woman? Wei Zhao, let's sing one together!" Feng Xiaoxiao said instead.
"I can't sing. You sing it yourself." Wei Zhao hastily called a halt to it — otherwise Shen Yushu would most likely have blown her top again.
Sure enough, Shen Yushu was delighted by Wei Zhao's answer: "Oh, Brother Shield won't sing with you. Disappointed, aren't you?"
"So what? He never could sing anyway. He won't sing with me, and he won't sing with you either!" Feng Xiaoxiao said.
"Why wouldn't he sing? We sing every day. What's that phrase again? Oh, right — 'nightly song and revelry'!" Shen Yushu said.
"Nightly song and revelry? You sing in the middle of the night?" Feng Xiaoxiao was taken aback.
"Brother Shield and Sister Yaoyao and I have a threesome every night — song and revelry every night!" Shen Yushu said, immensely pleased with herself.
"A threesome?" Feng Xiaoxiao did not believe a word of it, yet she would not be outdone: "A threesome? We got bored with that long ago. These days we've moved on to role-play and uniform seduction. Yours is out of date!"
"Wole-play and uniform seduction?" Shen Yushu's mind spun fast: "That? We play that all the time too. Sister Yaoyao and I dress up as the Pleasant Goat, and Brother Shield plays Big Big Wolf..."
"Ha ha!" Feng Xiaoxiao burst out laughing. "What kind of role-play is that? That's children playing house. What I mean is, Sister Tang Zhi and I dress up as flight attendants or office ladies... Haven't you noticed how often Sister Tang Zhi wears her school uniform? That's what they call school-uniform seduction!"
"Ah... that... oh..." Shen Yushu was flustered, but she quibbled on: "Ours is role-play too. Haven't you heard the song that goes — the wolf falls in love with the sheep, loves her like a madman..."
Tang Zhi looked at Gu Mengyao with a trace of apology and spread her hands helplessly; she had no way to explain it to Gu Mengyao, and only this could express her own innocence...
Seeing Tang Zhi's expression, Gu Mengyao was slightly startled. Could it be that Tang Zhi truly had not meant to invite this Feng Xiaoxiao here?
Tang Zhi smiled bitterly; Wei Zhao smiled bitterly too. Gu Mengyao, for her part, grew rather suspicious — just how had this Feng Xiaoxiao turned into Wei Zhao's little wife?
By now the prelude of Xu Shilan's song was already coming through the speakers. Seeing that it was the song she had requested, Gu Mengyao walked over, picked up the microphone, and said to Shen Yushu: "All right, Xiaoshu, stop arguing. I'm going to sing now!"
Shen Yushu shut her mouth and paid Feng Xiaoxiao no more attention.
And at that moment Feng Xiaoxiao could hardly say anything more either, so she shut her mouth too and listened to Gu Mengyao sing.
Only then did the mood in the private room turn a little more harmonious. Wei Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Tang Zhi.
Though Feng Xiaoxiao was there, Gu Mengyao showed no stage fright. The young miss was proud and self-assured; she did not often sing in front of outsiders, but it had to be admitted that her voice was lovely. She was no professionally trained pop star, true, but the young miss's advantage lay in her fine timbre — she had no need to imitate anyone deliberately; sung in her own voice, it was already enchanting.
In short, Wei Zhao found the young miss's singing very pleasant. He could not tell whether it was Xu Shilan's song itself that was beautiful or the young miss's interpretation of it, but for the first time Wei Zhao had taken a liking to this song, and he decided that once he got back he would download it and give it a listen.
The young miss had not finished the song — she was only halfway through — when a knock came at the door of the private room.
The young miss assumed it was the waiter bringing the fruit platter and snacks and paid it no mind; taking advantage of the interlude in the middle of the song, she called toward the door: "Please come in!"
