After the monthly exam came National Day.

In order to celebrate that Chi Fang passed all the exams for the first time, Feng Yu suggested inviting everyone to sing karaoke the day before the holiday.

The largest karaoke place in Jiangcheng County was opened by Feng Yu’s family, so everyone didn’t hesitate to join in. People who were not in a hurry to go home had signed up. After calculating, there were more than 20 people, most of them were boys and only a few girls.

Before going to karaoke, Chi Fang invited everyone to dinner. Originally, Zhang Ling was called, but Zhang Ling knew that they couldn’t be at ease with her presence, so she shied away and said that she would not participate as she had family matters.

The place to eat was a well-known restaurant in Jiangcheng County. The massive group of people ordered a big room and two tables were set up. They ordered dishes from the menu no matter how expensive they were, such as deep-sea lobsters, hairy crabs, and many more. Everyone was so unrestrained as if the food didn’t cost money. Those who didn’t know thought that Chi Fang had been admitted to Tsinghua University and was inviting everyone to a university celebration.

At the checkout, facing the bill that went up to ten thousand, Chi Fang swiped the card without blinking and everyone couldn’t help but cast passionate gazes at him: Rich man, let’s be friends!

After eating, the group went to karaoke.

Feng Yu called early in the morning and asked the karaoke place to reserve a large luxury room. The room was not only spacious but also had a living room. A group of them did not feel crowded at all when they entered. Exquisite fruit plates and various snacks were already placed on the long coffee table. If it wasn’t for everyone who was still not an adult, Feng Yu would have allowed people to bring in more than a dozen beers.

Feng Yu’s father and business friends were socializing in the room next door. When he heard that his son had brought his classmates over to play, he went to the room specially to let everyone have a good time and ask the waiter to deliver whatever they wanted to eat and drink.

Father Feng was wearing a suit, with hair combed to the back and the appearance of a successful person. As soon as he left the room, someone said, “Yu ge’s father looks so dignified.”

“Yeah! The big boss is indeed different!”

“Speaking of this, although I know that Chi ge and Yu ge are rich, this is the first time I know how rich they are.”

“I ate a lobster worth ¥ 588 just now, and my feet are still floating.”

“Poverty really limits my imagination.”

“It’s nice to be rich.”

“Why the heck are you guys sighing?” Feng Yu interrupted their discussion, stood at the karaoke platform with a microphone, and said, “Hurry up, choose some songs to sing! Are you guys here just to chat?!”

As soon as he said that, everyone went to choose songs in a chaotic manner.

Feng Yu looked left and right and found that Chi Fang and Jiang Li were sitting in the corner of the sofa far away from everyone. With the rotating light, he saw Chi Fang put one hand on the back of the sofa behind Jiang Li, and Jiang Li was listening to him with his head lowered. This posture from his perspective looked like Jiang Li was leaning in Chi Fang’s arms.

Feng Yu: “…” So gay.

He found that Chi Fang was becoming more and more unscrupulous recently, and the intention of sticking to Jiang Li almost made it known to the world that Jiang Li was his boyfriend.

Seeing the two of them being clingy with each other, Feng Yu subconsciously went to see if anyone around was paying attention to them and found that Nan Yin, who was sitting in the corner of the sofa diagonally opposite, was staring at them motionless.

It was no secret that Nan Yin liked Chi Fang. As the most beautiful girl in the grade, she was not only excellent in her studies but also had a very good family background. Many people thought that Chi Fang would get together with her, but she didn’t expect Chi Fang had no interest in her at all.

Seeing that Chi Fang’s lips were almost touching Jiang Li’s ear, Feng Yu felt that it would be strange that Nan Yin wouldn’t find out about their relationship if it went on like this. He took the microphone and walked toward Nan Yin’s side, blocking her gaze with his body. He then handed the microphone to her with a smile: “Nan jie, why are you just sitting here and not singing? You are in charge of literature and art in our class. You have to sing the opening song.”

Nan Yin’s sight was entirely blocked by him and she reached out to take the microphone: “What’s the point of me singing, it’s not like you guys haven’t heard it before, why don’t you change to someone else?”

“Sure, Nan jie has the final say.”

Nan Yin’s sight swept across the crowd, tilted her head, and landed on Jiang Li, who was half-blocked by Feng Yu. She took the microphone and said, “Jiang Li then.”

The volume of her words was diffused through the microphone throughout the whole room, attracting everyone’s attention and they slowly became quiet.

Jiang Li was discussing with Chi Fang the itinerary to return to City B the next day when he suddenly heard his name and looked up at her: “What?”

“Sing a song?” Nan Yin shook the microphone in her hand, “I’ve never heard you sing since I wasn’t in the same class as you before but you study so well, so you must be excellent in other fields. Today is a rare opportunity, won’t you sing a song for everyone?”

As a rival in love, Jiang Li heard a faint sense of provocation from her words, so he looked at her and didn’t reply.

When Nan Yin had used the microphone to call Jiang Li’s name, the room became quiet. The confrontation between the two made everyone feel that something was wrong, and they didn’t know what was wrong.

Chi Fang, who was next to him, looked a little unhappy. He looked at Nan Yin and said, “If you wanna sing then sing, why are you asking others?”

“I just asked him to sing a song.” Nan Yin pursed her lips and tightened her hand that was holding the microphone. “That won’t do? Ah Fang, aren’t you caring too much?”

“No—”

“Sure.” Jiang Li suddenly interrupted Chi Fang and said with a smile, “But today’s main character is Chi Fang, so I can only sing this song to him.”

Chi Fang heard what he said and turned to look at him: “Sing for me?”

“En.” Jiang Li nodded and when he got up, he whispered in his ear, “Listen well.”

Liu Jianping at the song ordering platform watched him get up and shouted, “What do you want to sing? I’ll request it for you.”

“No need, they won’t have this song here.” Jiang Li waved his hand, walked to the small stage next to the screen, connected the keyboard to the power supply, tried the tones of the key, and then began to play.

The song that Jiang Li sang was an Italian song, which was made by a foreign singer friend in his previous life. It had not been released to the public and not many people knew about it.

That friend was a homosexual and had a partner who had been with him for many years. The two knew each other, loved each other and protected each other. This song was then written by his friend on the tenth anniversary of their marriage.

As he thought the song was very good, Jiang Li especially learned it from the other party.

Jiang Li stood on the stage, his fingers flying on the keyboard, and the lights spinning above his head cast colorful lights on his face. He lowered his eyes slightly and his voice was extremely gentle. When he sang to a part, he raised his head and looked at Chi Fang in the corner.

The people present were all high school students and most of them had average academic results. They couldn’t even understand the English that they had to learn every day, let alone Italian. During Jiang Li’s singing, all of them had a look of “Who am I, where am I?” expression on their faces. They were in a daze until Jiang Li stopped, and they all praised that the first rank in the grade was indeed different.

“Jiang Li, why haven’t I heard you sing this song before? What does it mean?” Someone asked aloud.

Jiang Li wanted to return to his seat and sit down but when he heard him ask, he said, “A song I heard a long time ago, it probably means wishing my friend a bright future.”

“I see, it indeed fits the scene!”

After this short interlude, everyone started making noise again. People who sang continued singing, some were playing dice, and there was a lot of noise in the room.

In the dim corner, Chi Fang’s hand went to Jiang Li’s back and with his body blocking him, he took his other hand, lowered his head, and asked by his ear, “Wishing me a bright future?”

“That’s right.” Jiang Li held his hand back and laughed in a low voice, “I wish Chi ge to score well in exams and have a bright future.”

Knowing each other for so long, this was the first time that Chi Fang heard Jiang Li call him Chi ge. The young and gentle voice echoed through his eardrum and spread all the way to the bottom of his heart, casting ripples and making his heart throb.

Chi Fang temporarily suppressed the desire in his heart, pulled out his hand gently, and pushed Jiang Li: “…Go outside.”

Jiang Li looked at him, got up, and walked outside. Chi Fang followed behind. A boy passing by saw him and asked, “Chi ge, where are you guys going?”

“To the toilet.” Chi Fang dropped these three words without looking back and left the room with Jiang Li.

“To the toilet?” The boy scratched his head in confusion, “Isn’t there a toilet in the room?”

–Safety exit on the second floor of the karaoke.

Chi Fang pressed Jiang Li against the fireproof door, licked and kissed his lips fiercely. They kissed back and forth for about ten minutes before Chi Fang let go and put his forehead on Jiang Li’s shoulder, as if complaining and sighing, he said, “You’ll make me die sooner or later.”

Jiang Li’s lips were bitten by him and the corners of his mouth hurt a little. He didn’t know if he should laugh or cry, “Why are you acting like a dog?”

Chi Fang listened to what he said and put his lips on Jiang Li’s again. He licked the place on his lips that he had bitten just now with his tongue: “Then I will help you disinfect it.”

Saying it was disinfection but after licking it twice, he couldn’t help kissing him again. Jiang Li helplessly pushed him away: “Stop it. If we don’t go back soon, Feng Yu will come out and look for us.”

“Wait.” Chi Fang put his arms around him and didn’t let go, “You haven’t told me what was the meaning of the song you sang earlier?”

“Didn’t I say so?” Jiang Li leaned against the door with a full smile, “I wish Chi ge score well in exams…”

“Stop talking nonsense.” Chi Fang interrupted him and threatened, “I’ll kiss you if you don’t tell me. It won’t be so easy to let you go this time.”

Jiang Li looked at him and saw the expectation in his eyes clearly. He chuckled lightly, leaned over and sang a few words softly by his ear before translating them into Chinese: “The person my heart is bound to is right in front of me; I would like to use everything in exchange for falling in love with him for the rest of my life.”

Although Chi Fang knew that the lyrics were definitely not wishing him to score well or have a bright future, he didn’t expect it to be so straightforward and passionate. He even said to promise him a lifetime. The impact was not weaker than the “I like you” that Jiang Li said in the forest the last time. It was so strong that Chi Fang couldn’t come back to his senses for a while as his mind was overwhelmed by his “he wants to spend the rest of his life with me”.

Jiang Li saw that his expression was a little dazed, as if his soul was out of his body. He reached out and pinched his face: “Are you… so happy that you’re dizzy?”

Chi Fang: “…”

I’m not just dizzy, I’m literally going to heaven.

That night’s WeChat Moments were spammed by Chi Fang. The fireworks he posted were bigger than the previous ones and he spammed more than a dozen in a row. In the end, many people in Moments thought he was selling fireworks as a Wechat business.

Shortly after, a new post appeared on the No. 2 Middle School’s Bulletin Board System.

——[Shocked] The school bully of the No.2 Middle School of Jiang City is selling fireworks online as a part-time job. Those who pass by please give a helping hand, we all will then be happy ever after!!!
