Why is this the case?

Xia Jing was puzzled at the bottom of his heart.

The appointment had been going on for about four hours, and it was now two o'clock in the afternoon.

Ye Ya in front of him was holding a microphone and singing English songs.

The singing is not difficult to hear, but the lyrics are simply sung.

I can't understand English, but I order English tunes, and I sing in a meowing voice no matter how I listen to it.

Ye Ya's interest in karaoke may be by accident or necessity.

Going back to the roots, it was revealed at the beginning of the date.

The guy who entered the city like a hillbilly was fresh to everything he could see.

Every time you see a signboard, you ask, "What's that?" ”

Even the person who met the tissue paper would make her curious to ask, "What is that person doing?" ”

Xia Jing, who was annoyed by the question, decided to go shopping at the large department store in front of the station in the morning. I also came to this department store once when I was shopping for Lin Yu's birthday gift before, and Xia Jing's wishful thinking was "I don't need to explain it one by one when I came here...... After that, Xia Jingjie followed Ye Ya to the Hanfu counter that she would never visit - it seems that Ye Ya fell in love with this store when she first visited this department store - and ended up buying a Japanese hairpin that Ye Ya liked very much and gave it to her, but it didn't matter.

Lunch is also served on the spot at the department store, and perhaps the problem is that you should not decide to go back to the street in the afternoon. Frankly speaking, Xia Jing's body was also a little slack.

On the way, Yaya saw the sign of the karaoke and asked Xia Jing curiously.

When Xia Jing explained to her the moment when karaoke was gone, her eyes suddenly changed.

"I want to go in~" The eyes that sparkled like a child were obviously begging...... If you want to ignore those eyes, at least you must have the coldness to turn a blind eye to the abandoned cat left in the corrugated box.

Of course, Xia Jing is not the kind of person who is ruthless.

Incidentally, the clerk was visibly confused. It's no wonder that Xia Jing is a clerk, and he will be surprised to see a beautiful girl in a gorgeous Hanfu and a sullen teenager come to the door.

As soon as he entered the box, whether it was the light switch, TV, record player, speaker, or remote control, Ye Ya asked all the questions, and it took twenty minutes to start ordering songs.

In this way, about forty minutes have passed since the start of the song, and Xia Jing has not yet ordered the song.

Forget it, it's not bad—Xia Jing thought to himself.

Singing should help relieve stress anyway, and Xia Jing is not bored.

After the singing, the music came to an abrupt end.

Ye Ya let out a cheerful sigh and put the microphone on the table.

"What? Tired of singing? ”

As soon as Xia Jing asked, Ye Ya smiled.

"Well, a little bit...... And his voice is hoarse."

"I'll order a drink. What do you want to drink?"

Xia Jing pulled out the menu from under the songbook. Seeing this, Ye Ya's eyes widened.

「…… What is that for?"

"Huh? Oh, you can use it to order drinks and food."

By the way, I forgot to explain it to her before. At the moment when Jing Xiajing told her, "As long as you choose what you want to eat from the menu, and then use the walkie-talkie to order, the waiter will help deliver the meal"-

「…… Summer view!"

"Huh?"

Ye Ya snatched the menu from Xia Jing and screamed in shock.

"What is this...... There's even a cake! Why are you hiding that I have such a thing?"

"I—I'm not hiding it......

"It's amazing! How can you choose from so many types?"

Yaya couldn't wait to order food. The question of the drink seemed to have long since disappeared from her mind.

"Wait a minute. Didn't we just have lunch? You've had a Big Mac hamburger steak set."

Her gobbling up makes people wonder how this petite body can fit so much food.

"Don't worry, it's another stomach that holds dessert."

"You've already eaten dessert too? Didn't you eat three balls of gelato?"

Ice cream is bought at roadside stalls after leaving the department store.

"Well, but I didn't eat the cake."

"What kind of fallacy is that?"

This guy is hopeless. Her central nervous system, which controls the stomach pouch, has lost its function at all.

I had no choice but to attack on the rational side.

"Think about it, eating too much dessert will cause tooth decay?"

After Xia Jing was a little uneasy and kindly made a threat, Ye Ya frowned, full of complaints.

"Well, even you said the same thing to Ana."

"I care about you as much as Ana, okay?"

"I thought you were the only one who wouldn't say that......

Ye Ya then puffed out her cheeks sadly.

Look at her putting on such a pitiful expression, how can she be so ruthless to object...... Ahh

Xia Jing didn't say a word and raised the white flag.

"It's really okay to take you...... If you insist on eating it, you can only choose one."

However, Xia Jing has no intention of fully surrendering. If there were no restrictions, she would definitely order a mountain of desserts that she couldn't finish eating, and even a four-year-old would turn blue when she saw it.

"There are so many things, but can I only pick one?"

「……」

Ye Ya's eyes turned to look at it, although this small action as if he was begging made people can't help but beat his heart faster, but he must not agree softly. Besides, Xia Jing's purse is about to bottom out.

After thinking about it for a while-

"I'll choose a snack too. And then give you half of it, okay? That way you'll be able to eat two flavors at once."

"Oh, yes. I see! Xia Jing is so smart!"

"There's nothing to be happy about being praised for something like this......

However, Ya seems to have accepted such an arrangement. I saw her staring at the menu with a serious expression on her face.

"You were so happy when you saw candy before, didn't you refuse it as long as it was sweet?"

"Huh? What do you say?"

Ye Ya's mind seemed to be no longer here.

"When I didn't say it." Xia Jing smiled wryly and leaned back on the sofa.

He thought to himself: at least don't order juice for drinks, order a cup of oolong tea or something.

......

How did it come to this?

Lin Yu held a straw in his mouth with an unhappy expression.

The tracking date operation has been going on for more than four hours.

But now, inexplicably, jujube is holding a microphone and singing a song in front of Lin Yu.

In all fairness, Anno's singing voice is really not very good. And only pick weird tunes from beginning to end.

Things will turn out like this, it's all to blame Xia Jing and Ye Ya for running karaoke. Lin Yu and Lan Yang, who had been following them all the way, were unwilling to wait outside, so they had to follow them into the store.

Since they are all here, they find Anno and Anai to meet by the way - unexpectedly, this move is no different from self-destruction.

"Idle is idle, do you want to sing?" It was Anno who originally proposed this. "Otherwise, Sister Anye, will you sing?" Seeing that no one raised their hands in approval, Lin Yu said without thinking. The result is a state of affairs.

…… To put it bluntly, Lin Yu's casual words are the real cause.

Lin Yu looked around the box.

Lan Yang was playing the tambourine as if he didn't care about anything, while Anai didn't praise Anye, who was singing hard, and clinged to the front of the door, observing the situation outside through the glass. Waiting for the target of the people in the third box in front of them - Ye Ya and Xia Jing left after singing karaoke.

It's over.

Anno put down the microphone contentedly and drank the orange juice in his hand.

"Eh, who's going to sing?"

She looked into the box and asked.

"That, Sister Anno......

"Ah, Lin Yu, do you want to sing? You can take it and see it."

Yasuno handed over a heavy songbook.

「…… No, it's not! It's not a matter of the song. What I want to ask is, is it a good time to sing here?"

We're not here to play.

"Huh, ahh...... Well, that's okay. Don't worry."

Lin Yu sharpened his eyes and noticed Yasuno's uncertain gaze and the momentary blankness. She must have forgotten all about her purpose.

"Look, isn't this a secret room? It's much safer to stay in a box than to be in a crowd. And everyone is very tired in the morning, right? Now is a great opportunity to rest."

"That's true, but ......."

Knowing that she was arguing with reason, Lin Yu couldn't argue with it.

Putting aside the physical level, Lin Yu's spiritual level is indeed as Anye said, and he has accumulated a lot of fatigue.

Just watching Xia Jing walking hand in hand with Ye Ya without knowing how to do it was enough to teach people to be angry, but I didn't expect to give a gift in the end. Ye Yacai is not the kind of girl who will be bought by gifts! Lin Yu was so angry that his brain was congested, and he almost left the purpose of tracking behind him and stepped forward. If Lan Yang hadn't stopped it in time, Lin Yu would have sacrificed that human blood a long time ago.

It's the same for lunch. Xia Jing thoughtfully helped Ye Ya, who didn't even know how to hold a knife and fork, cut the hamburger steak - could it be that he thought that he could capture Ye Ya's heart with such an inconspicuous little action?

- Actually, Ye Ya was not only successfully bought by the gift, but even seemed to be firmly grasped in her heart, but Lin Yu chose not to see it. To be precise, I don't want to see Ye Yan's beaming appearance.

Choosing to stay in a karaoke box is not without its benefits, at least not to continue to accumulate anxiety in that regard. It's just that, on the other hand, I am very curious about Ye Ya and Xia Jing being alone in the secret room and don't know what they are doing. Moreover, it is really difficult to relax when bombarded by a series of song compilations.

"What's the next song......

Anno picked up the playlist again and flipped through it.

Lin Yu was about to faint, and she couldn't bear Anye's singing.

Having said that, Lin Yu can't be replaced by snatching the microphone and holding on.

She hadn't heard much music herself, so she didn't know a few songs. The only thing that is familiar is the theme song of the TV series that is played every Sunday, and the problem is - after thinking about it for a while, Lin Yu immediately died of a heart.

"Ah, that...... Sister Lan Yang, do you want to sing a song?"

Lin Yu chose to turn a corner and ask Lan Yang for help.

Lan Yang often sings poetry secretly when he is bored. Although the poem has neither melody nor musical accompaniment, it should be similar to singing. Lin Yu was full of expectations that she would not hate singing, but ......

"It's my first time at karaoke."

Sure enough, I still got a cold answer.

"Do you have any familiar songs?"

"That's right, Senior Sister Lanyang, you can sing and watch it too."

Anno also instigated, perhaps because he was afraid that if this continued, it would become a solo concert.

「…… Shall I sing?"

Lan Yang blinked.

"Well, you tell me the number, and I'll enter it for you."

Lan Yang stared at the air in a daze at first, and only after a while did he take the song list handed by An Ye with an expressionless face and began to read it carefully.

Lin Yu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, there was a hint of anticipation. Lan Yang's voice is beautiful. When she sings poetry secretly, even people outside Xia Jing will be fascinated by it, and her singing voice must be first-class. Lin Yu didn't want to criticize Anye's bad singing, he just wanted not to be brainwashed by a series of singing in the future.

"Ah, I'll sing this song."

Lanyang stopped turning the page.

"Where's the number?"

Anno used the remote control to enter the number read out by Lan Yang

......

Xia Jing and Ye Ya left the karaoke room at about four o'clock in the afternoon.

Later, Xia Jing couldn't resist Ye Ya's stubborn fighting, and ordered a total of four cakes.

Although I really want to comfort myself that "it's worth it to see Ye Ya's happy expression", it is also a fact that the purse has lost a lot of blood.

After three hours of karaoke, Xia Jing only sang three songs...... I always feel that this guy has completely misunderstood the culture of karaoke. The next time you have the opportunity to go with someone else, you must remind her that karaoke is sung by everyone in turns.

Anyway, it's been a pretty good time.

Due to the current tense situation, it is inconvenient to stay too late, Xia Jing decided to end today's trip and take Ye Ya back to the station. Since the bus for the two to return went in different directions, they broke up in front of the station.

"Are you still having fun?"

On the way back to the station, Xia Jing asked, Ye Ya smiled and bowed.

"Well, I also made you pay for hairpins. Thank you, I will cherish it."

"It's a pity, it's a bargain."

"It's not about the price, it's about the heart you bought and gave me."

Ye Ya doesn't change his old appearance, and such embarrassing words can be said generously. However, Xia Jing seems to be slowly feeling paralyzed recently, and he can feel happy calmly in his heart, rather than being ashamed.

The two arrived at the bus terminal in front of the station and checked the time.

Xia Jing's train would not depart until twenty minutes later, and Ye Ya's would be fifteen minutes later. Although it is the departure terminal, it is only a small country town after all, and it is a weekend holiday, so there are not many departures.

"Looks like we'll have to wait a little longer."

After the two sat down side by side on the bench—

「…… Summer Scene."

Ye Ya, who was sitting on the side, suddenly changed his tone - muttered in a slightly serious voice, "Thank you."

"Huh?"

Xia Jing tried to pretend to be confused.

"Ask me out today to cheer me up, right?"

…… It seems that she still sees through it.

Ye Ya took Xia Jing's hand, rested her head lightly on his shoulder, and snuggled up to him.

"I'm too uneasy to help myself. All I think about is my mother, Li Qi, and the sword...... I've been trying to let go for the past few days, but I just can't do it."

"Of course...... It's not something that can be easily put down."

Blood relatives, relatives and friends, and the position of the patriarch, all of them are aimed at Ye Ya. Just being able to maintain calm on the surface is already very commendable in Xia Jing's eyes.

Perhaps the tense nerves were soothed, and Ye Ya began to speak slowly in a faint voice:

"That's Ah Le, not my mother—I hope so. But if that's the case, how can I interpret my memory? Why did my mother ...... my sister? If I'm wrong, how nice it would be."
