Everyone cheered, and Snow Li clapped as well. Wang Zheng had come over to toast with Snow Li.
âSnow, you havenât been coming over frequently. You canât abandon your friends just because you left the team,â Wang Zheng said.
âYeah, Snow. Without your beauty, Ai Xiaolu is getting cocky.â Takumi chimed in.
Ai Xiaoluâs voice was amazing, just as she said. God was a biased one. Some people could not only beat the guts out of you, but were also superbly talented. Ai Xiaolu was one of them.
A slightly older classic that left them all awed.
Ai Xiaolu got up and bowed, still glowing with charm.
âD*mn, Xiaolu, you must have practiced it before! So professional!â Zhang Shan grumbled.
Snow Li laughed. âXiaolu held a solo concert when she was in elementary school.â
Zhang Shan and Ai Xiaoluâs banter had loosened everyone up. Saruman Snake had shown their stuff. As a representative, Annil sang the resounding Invincible Braves.
Ever since she revealed her ability for the tank role, everyone knew that this warm girl had a heroic nature.
Each planetâs character was vastly different. The Aslan people truly had the stage presence and a good upbringing. They were not just bookworms.
This was different from the deadbeats of Earth.
Of course, the Moonâs aristocrat, Achilles, could win back some pride for the Solar System, which was why everyone called Moon the Aslan of the Solar System.
A round of applause. Huiyin, who always liked the crowd, was in no hurry, and neither were they. The best must always be saved for last. Given the popularity of Huiyinâs concerts, there were few who got such an opportunity.
âHuiyin, anything wrong?â Wang Zheng asked. This girl was bad at hiding things.
Huiyin started. âWhy do you say that?â
âFeels like youâve something on your mind. Anything you can say to me? Although this Brother Wang Zheng is not that talented, at least Iâm a little dependable,â Wang Zheng said.
Huiyin suddenly laughed. âA secret. Iâll tell you in a bit.â
The door opened. Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu had arrived. Both of them had finally completed Teacher Xiao Feiâs work. Xiao Fei was not coming. After all, she was the principal, and scared of ruining the atmosphere.
âYou two are late! Three drinks each!â The bad influence, Zhang Shan, immediately caught them.
But Yao Ailun treated Zhang Shan as if he were a rock, moving in a flash to stand before the princess.
âEsteemed Princess Highness, I am Yao Ailun from Earth, ...â
He was halfway through when Lin Huiyin could not resist laughing. This guy was too unbelievable, to be able to say such things as though there was no one else around.
Everyone laughed as well. âYao Ailun, Chen Xiu. They used to be from my dorm.â
âPrincess Highness, please autograph my clothes later. My three elder sisters are all your fans!â
Chen Xiu was already picturing the looks of reverence in his three elder sistersâ eyes. They wouldnât tease him for a long time after that.
âNo problem. As many as you want.â Huiyin batted her eyes.
Who would have thought that Chen Xiu took it seriously. âMake it four, then.â
Everyone laughed again. Chen Xiu bravely performed one of Huiyinâs hits.
Ailun had totally ignored Wang Zheng, and went to Lie Xinâs side. âBabe, shall we drink together?â
Lie Xin smiled. âThe rule here is, for each drink a girl takes, the guy must drink three.â
â... Who set such an inconsiderate rule?â Yao Ailun said, startled.
âItâs your brother here. Ailun, you canât let down our Earthling pride. If you pass out, Iâll carry you home. To drink it out with our Beauty Lie here, Brother will support you mentally!â
âThen I have no choice but to accompany the beautiful lady!â Ailun shrugged off his coat. Drink!
Almost everyone had sung something, including a few off keys and broken voices. Zhang Shan, Yao Ailun, and a few others were so enthusiastic that they were basically mic hogs. In the end, Ailun had to be dragged off. This guy had taken all of their minds off the main highlight, raising the mood considerably. Only then did they remember.
âNext up, our beautiful highness, Huiyin!â Zhang Shan had suddenly taken up a role as MC.
Huiyin smiled, a small, pale hand gently tugging Wang Zheng. âLetâs sing something.â
The crowd roared. Luckily they were all friends; otherwise, the jealous looks would have obliterated Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng was so-so at singing, but that song Sky was rather suited to him. Faced with Huiyinâs invitation, Wang Zheng would never be hesitant, let alone now.
âOh? Wang Zheng, you can actually sing?â
âYeah, Leader Sir, how good are you? Let us prepare ourselves!â
âYou better not lead our princess off tune!â
âHaha, our leader is best at setting the pace, but this is the first time Iâve lost confidence in him.â
The bunch of naughty friends hollered and jeered, but Wang Zheng dealt them a new one, shocking all of them.
This duet immediately brought the atmosphere to a crescendo, because... Wang Zhengâs timbre and feel were close to the original, while Huiyinâs superb skills immediately rose the mood to a peak, prompting a crowd sing-along.
Ai Xiaolu and the rest were surprised as well. Who knew that Wang Zheng actually had this side to him?
This song Sky truly stirred their blood.
âAgainst your Saruman Snake, we of Imperial Glory will give it our best shot!â Annil declared loudly.
âA good opponent is a blessing! We of Saruman Snake will not be cowed!â Takumi hollered. In this instant, he had already discarded all those stray thoughts. To be able to be involved in such a battle was good fortune for any fighter.
âAnother song!â
âStrong request for another song!â
They were clearly hooked. When this professional sang, her skill level was clear. Huiyinâs heavenly voice pierced their souls.
Wang Zheng left the stage, leaving Huiyin to what she was good at.
Huiyin smiled and switched off the music. The room quietened in an instant. They looked at the little princess, knowing that she had something to say.
âThis next song is prepared for someone very special to me. Itâs my 16th birthday next month. I can never be with him. I hope to dedicate this to him. A song made for you â Never Left.
The moment she said this, everyoneâs minds blanked out. This...
Huiyin looked at Wang Zheng. At this moment, everyone had the same suspicion. But... this... but besides Wang Zheng, there wouldnât be anyone else, would there?
Zhang Shan, Chen Xiu, and the rest had lost their minds. Was this the princessâ confession???
Lu Die and Annil were shocked as well. Their inebriety fell from them. But they did not dare to confirm, and perhaps could not. Perhaps it wasnât. Perhaps Her Highness just favored him, and this had nothing to do with her love.
Ai Xiaolu and Luo Er exchanged looks. They saw the doubt in each otherâs eyes.
âRight here right now
âRight now
âIâve loved and lost, Iâve tasted the sweet and sour of love. Iâve shrugged off the tricks of fate, I know what I want
âAn unspeakable emotion, the sum of all that I feel. Why do I keep thinking of it, what else is there to live for...â
Huiyinâs gaze was completely locked on Wang Zheng. This was the first time she had faced him so boldly.
âWithout you, I would miss my turn as I gazed at the faraway peaks. I turn, only to find that you had never left...
âI know Iâm too lucky, because love satisfies everything... right now, in this moment, I want to be in your arms
âTo be your warmth
âTo sing for you a special love song
âPlease listen to me
âLet my world revolve around you, let my happiness be your happiness, my sorrows your sorrows.
âRight here, right now
âLet us lift our heads together and await loveâs descent, proof that this is no mere dream
âRight now
âClose your eyes and feel
âThere is a voice
âAnd it says that love never leftâ
This was the first time that Huiyin had put her own voice and emotions into her singing. A song for herself, for her first love at 16. Everyone was lost in her voice...
Huiyin had already come to stand beside Wang Zheng. She tiptoed, and gently kissed Wang Zheng on the lips.
This was the first kiss of a girl just about to turn 16. She had mustered up all the courage in her. The purest and most beautiful love story.
Time stopped. Everyone was shocked.
Huiyinsâ eyes were filled with infatuation and unwillingness, enough to melt steel to curl around her fingers. âBrother Wang Zheng, wish me happy birthday... donât forget me.â
After she spoke, Huiyin left, leaving behind a room of petrified people.
In a flash, Huiyinâs tears flowed. Outside the door, Angela was waiting for her.
Angela said nothing, only hugging Huiyin gently. âLetâs go home. Everything will pass.â
âB... but I donât want to go... like this.â Huiyin tugged at Angelaâs clothes.
Angela sighed. She knew such a day would come, but was helpless to stop it. Perhaps time was the only solution.
Zhang Shan walked over to pat Wang Zhengâs shoulder. âBrother, you are the most fortunate and unfortunate person in the world.â
He said as he shook his head. There was no choice.
For Aslanâs two princesses to love the same person would be bittersweet for any man.
Zhang Shan knew especially well that Wang Zheng had always been waiting for Aina in his heart. That was why he had given so much of himself, and laid his life out on the line.
Of course, the attractiveness of such guys was often the most fatal.
A toast, to all the beautiful first loves of this world!
