Chapter 14: Chapter 14 I Want to Sing a Song for You
Pei Jinxi unexpectedly looked at Mo Qianli, slightly tipsy, and smiled at her.
"Little brother, come here," she called to Pei Jinxi with a wave.
"Really, really?"
Pei Jinxi took a deep breath, turned back to the owner, and said, "Boss Zheng, I remember you have a guitar here."
Mo Qianli looked at Pei Jinxi in surprise.
He could play the guitar?
His long fingers picked up the guitar, seriously plucked the strings, and simply tuned it. He looked up and asked, "What would you like to hear?"
"'Lover,' can you sing this song by Pei Jinxi?"
"Sure, he definitely can," Mo Qianli said, patting Pei Jinxi on the shoulder with a raised eyebrow and a smile.
Joking, this is Pei Jinx himself. How could he not know how to sing his own song?
Pei Jinxi looked at Mo Qianli with a smile that was not quite a smile, and after shifting his gaze filled with deep meaning, he indeed began to strum the guitar strings.
"The firelight descends at the final moment.
The world is strangely bright.
When the ocean engulfs the desert,
The thorns are also covered with seaweed.
Malice melts out of the glaciers.
Darkness fills the earth.
You turn and embrace me.
Because you are my lover,
And I am the one who loves you.
Even if your embrace is my doomsday,
I'm willing to dive into your whirlpool."
Pei Jinxi's voice was slow, soft, slightly bright yet deep. On stage, he had a dazzling brilliance, and here, he could shine just as brightly.
It was as if he were born to be in the spotlight.
Pei Jinxi watched in the direction of Mo Qianli, his gaze slowly softening as he looked at her.
Those dark, night-like eyes seemed to hide a whole world. Mo Qianli stared at him, and a smile slowly appeared on her face.
"Wow, that sounds so good."
"I think this version sounds even better than the original!"
"Yeah, yeah, and this guy looks so much like Pei Jinxi."
"If it weren't for seeing him at this little skewer shop, I would have thought it was him."
"Relax, there's no way such a big star would come to a place like this."
"Yeah, he'd be mobbed by fans to death."
A few young girls watched Pei Jinxi with bright eyes, each showing their affection.
"Handsome guy, may I get your WeChat..." someone asked with hopeful eyes, batting her eyelashes at him.
Pei Jinxi smiled and pulled Mo Qianli to his side.
"You are still young. Leave me to sister here. She just went through a breakup and really needs me right now."
"..."
The young girls looked at Mo Qianli and Pei Jinxi in surprise.
Their minds started concocting a romantic love story.
"Wow, so you guys are a couple?" someone said.
"That makes sense, why else would you be out so late on a date together?"
Mo Qianli was startled and waved her hands, "No, no, don't make things up."
The girl narrowed her eyes, "So, it's the little brother pursuing the sister, and the sister hasn't agreed yet? Sister is so lucky to have such a handsome guy chasing her. Sister, just say yes. Otherwise, we're going to confess to him, and you might regret it."
Ha, these young girls, really...
Mo Qianli tucked her hair behind her ears and looked at them, "What do you know? It's because you lack restraint that all the little brothers now like big sisters. All this talk about confessions, only kids confess. Adults just seduce,"
"Wow, sister is fierce!"
"Learned it, learned it."
Mo Qianli proudly raised her head under the admiring gazes of the kids and gave Pei Jinxi a challenging look.
