Chapter 471: Chapter 469 Not Yet_1

Sheng Lin raised her hand, "I have no problem with that."

"Us neither," Ji Haichuan, Song Ze, and Elder Zhou immediately nodded in agreement.

"Since everyone agrees, let’s start!" Zheng Pianpian picked a song named "The Winding River."

The song wasn’t particularly difficult, and one could even say it was catchy.

However, there were a few lines of lyrics that really tested one’s singing ability, and coincidentally, it was Zheng Pianpian’s and Xia Ningxing’s turns to sing these lines.

Zheng Pianpian started singing with skill, bringing the words and melody to their fullest potential.

Once she finished, it was Xia Ningxing’s turn.

A hint of mockery couldn’t help but appear in Zheng Pianpian’s eyes.

She had done her research. Aside from playing the zither, Xia Ningxing was clueless about almost everything else, let alone singing.

So she was just waiting for Xia Ningxing to make a fool of herself!

Xia Ningxing’s face remained calm as she opened her red lips, and immediately, pleasant musical notes began to emerge from her mouth.

Every word was filled with superb technique and rich emotion, possessing the power to move hearts.

It sounded incredibly good!

Everyone was involuntarily mesmerized.

The only exception was Zheng Pianpian, who wore a look of utter astonishment.

Why!

How could this be!

How could she be good at everything!

And to sing so well!

As the saying goes, without comparison, there is no harm done, but once compared, Zheng Pianpian’s performance was instantly crushed to dust!

Zheng Pianpian complained bitterly to herself.

If she had known this would happen, she would have never given Xia Ningxing such an opportunity to showcase her talents.

Spitting blood!

Utterly spitting blood!

Even after Xia Ningxing finished singing, everyone was still in a daze.

The next person due to sing didn’t even realize it was their turn.

Seeing this, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but hold her forehead, "Is my singing really that good?"

"Good! It’s so good! Truly amazing!" Sheng Lin finally snapped out of her stupor and immediately nodded like a pecking hen, her eyes filled with admiration.

Song Ze, "I was mesmerized by the singing."

"Xia, you sing so well," Ji Haichuan gave a thumbs up.

Even Elder Zhou couldn’t help but smile excitedly, "Miss Xia, you sing really well, and you have a great handle on pitch and rhythm."

"You flatter me," Xia Ningxing said modestly.

Elder Zhou, who loved talent, couldn’t help but speak a few more words, "Miss Xia, do you have any intentions of pursuing a career in music?"

As he spoke those words, it was as if he was extending an olive branch to Xia Ningxing!

Zheng Pianpian clenched her teeth tightly.

This time she not only shot herself in the foot but also helped the person she hated gain an advantage!

It was just infuriating!

"No," Xia Ningxing shook her head regretfully and replied.

Upon hearing this, a flash of disappointment passed through Elder Zhou’s eyes, but he still respected her choice, "You are doing very well in the film industry, there is really no need to step into the music scene as well, haha, let’s leave some opportunities for the other singers."

After a moment of reflection, Xia Ningxing decided to speak up, "Elder Zhou, although I have no wish to enter the music industry, my company has a singer with an extraordinary voice. If possible, I hope you can give her some support."

[My goodness, such a kind boss!]

[I have never seen a boss who cares about their employees like this!]

[The singer she mentioned is Lin Sisi, right?]

[Yes, that’s right, it’s our Sisi!]

"Could it be any more perfect, being personally recommended to Elder Zhou by the boss?"

"No problem," Elder Zhou agreed cheerfully.

Having spent time with her, Elder Zhou naturally understood what kind of person Xia Ningxing was. Since she was recommended by someone he considered very good, certainly, she wouldn’t disappoint.

Xia Ningxing didn’t expect that by coming to this variety show, she could forge such connections. She immediately pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

"With Mr. Zhou’s guidance, Miss Xia, the singers from your company will definitely make great strides. Congratulations!"

Zheng Pianpian appeared all smiles on the surface, seemingly genuinely happy for her from the bottom of her heart.

However, her fingers, hidden beneath the table, were clenched so tightly that her veins were bursting, almost suffocating under the flood of jealousy.

This time, she really did make a wedding dress for someone else!

It was infuriating!

Afterwards, Xia Ningxing and the others played a few more games.

The night grew deeper and darker.

Xia Ningxing checked the time; it was nearly eleven o’clock.

"It’s getting late. Let’s go back and sleep; we’ve got an early flight to catch tomorrow." Xia Ningxing stood up from the small bench, her eyelids starting to fight.

"Let’s go."

Sheng Lin and others nodded.

"Goodnight, everyone."

"Goodnight!"

After saying their goodnights, Xia Ningxing and the others each returned to their respective rooms.

In her room, Xia Ningxing had just arrived when she noticed a familiar scent.

As soon as she looked up, she saw a tall and handsome man lying on the bed.

He was holding her book on business studies and seemed engrossed in reading.

"You’re back?" Seeing her, he immediately put down the book and strode down from the bed with his long legs, pulling her into a tight embrace.

His hug was warm and comforting, yet carried the weariness of a hasty journey, obviously having come straight to her.

Xia Ningxing leaned into his embrace and couldn’t help asking, "Lu, when did you get here?"

"Been a while," Lu Tingli replied.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help frowning slightly, "You know I’m going back tomorrow. Wouldn’t it have been better for you to wait at home?"

"No," Lu Tingli didn’t hesitate for a second, immediately shaking his head.

He tightened his strong arms, hugging her close again: "I missed you too much. I wanted to be by your side and see you right away. I couldn’t wait until tomorrow."

His deep, magnetic voice whispered in her ear.

The breath between them was so hot that it made her earlobes tingle.

Xia Ningxing’s expression was gentle, gentler than the dim glow of the moon, as she softly said, "I missed you too."

Hearing her words, Lu Tingli’s heart surged with warmth, holding the girl even tighter, as if wishing to fuse her into his very flesh.

"The song you sang just now was really beautiful. I was completely enchanted," Lu Tingli murmured, his words dripping with adoration.

His Ningxing was so outstanding, he longed to keep her hidden away.

"Thank you for the compliment, Lu," Xia Ningxing beamed with joy.

Everyone else had praised her singing, but only when he did was she truly elated and thrilled.

Because she cared about him, his opinion was very important to her!

After that, Xia Ningxing remembered something, "Lu, is Starfish 1 fixed yet?"

"Not yet," Lu Tingli shook his head, then rested his chin in her hair, his high and sexy nose inhaling her scent.

Xia Ningxing blinked in surprise, "Then how come you had time to come here?"

"The research institute is shut for one day," Lu Tingli answered.

With such a short holiday, he had to seize every second to be by her side.

"I see!" Xia Ningxing nodded her head, then couldn’t help but yawn.
