Chapter 78 Critically Ill
Leng Bingbing really had the urge to pull out her gun."Sis Cop, you can't come in," Xia Tian blocked the door without moving. "My wife said for you guys to wait a bit; you’ll receive a call shortly t...Chapter 77: Heavenly Melody
"Team Leader Wang, it's not that... I just...
I don't know what’s going on," the bald man was at a loss after being scolded by Wang Jian.
"Brother Tian, leave this matter to me. It's such a trivial issue; there’s no need for you to personally handle it," Wang Jian ignored the bald man and addressed Xia Tian with utmost respect instead.
He paused momentarily before looking at Ding Bao, his tone tinged with displeasure: "Brother Leopard, how are you handling your work Such a minor issue shouldn’t be beyond your capabilities. Why bother Brother Tian"
"That’s right, Senior Wang is correct!" Ding Bao agreed outwardly while inwardly cursing: "Tell him directly, and he’ll make me hand over the nightclub to that bald guy."
Ding Bao was still bewildered by the situation but could sense that his bet this time had paid off. Brother Tian’s background turned out to be even more formidable than expected.
"That's right, little rascal! Leave such trivial matters for them to handle and let me go sing," Liu Meng wanted to pull Xia Tian away with her.
"Auntie, if you want to sing, do it here. This is the best private room; we’ll find another place," Wang Jian immediately responded.
"Really Alright then! You all get out quickly, I need to start singing!" Liu Meng promptly started shooing them away while inviting the other two women: "Xiao Man, Xin Xin, let's go sing!"
"Brother, we’ll leave first," Wang Jie tried to exit.
"Hurry up and get out!" Seeing the bald man hesitate, Wang Jian shouted at him.
The bald man was startled and hurriedly got up, leaving with his four buddies in a rush.
"Brother Tian, Sister-in-law, take your time," Wang Jian bowed respectfully as he left the private room. Inside, only Xia Tian and three women remained.
"Come on, little rascal, sing me a song!" Liu Meng handed the microphone to Xia Tian.
Xia Tian scratched his head: "I don't know how."
"What do you mean I thought you could do everything!" Liu Meng was somewhat displeased and then passed the microphone to Liu Yunman, saying, "Little Man, why don’t you sing one"
"Auntie, let me choose a song first," Liu Yunman had no choice but to take the microphone. She knew that Liu Meng wouldn't be familiar with any songs from after the new millennium and ended up singing an old song called "Just Like Your Gentle Affection."
Liu Yunman sang quite well. To be honest, ever since Xia Tian heard Zhao Qingqing’s performance, he felt like everyone else sang pretty well too.
"Beautiful beautiful! Sing another one!" Liu Meng clapped her hands and acted like a happy little girl.
Liu Yunman had to sing again. After she did, Liu Meng said it was beautiful and asked for another song. This went on until Liu Yunman sang five songs in total before she finally felt uncomfortable and handed the microphone over to Sun Xinxin.
"Little rascal, there aren't enough people here. Let's call back those others we just saw and have them sing," suggested Liu Meng. Xia Tian had no choice but to give a call to Big Fatty, asking him and his group to come singing right after they finished their business.
Soon enough, Big Fatty arrived with Ding Bao, Black Three, Wang Jian, and the bald man, followed by some other men and women. Liu Meng made each of them sing a song. Though this bunch didn't know what status this youthful fairy-like girl had, they still dared not offend her. Therefore, even if they couldn’t sing, they had to give it their best shot with their limited skills. Lo and behold, the room became lively indeed. The livelier the place was, the happier Liu Meng became.
Ouyuan Man secretly smiled to herself, wondering how many years this auntie had spent in loneliness. It was only natural for her to be happy now that she finally had a chance to enjoy some company.
"Auntie, didn't you say you wanted to sing" After what seemed like ages, Ouyuan Man couldn't hold back and encouraged the auntie, "Why don't you sing us a song!"
"Sure! I'll sing too!" Liu Meng giggled as she stood up. "None of you are allowed to talk; just listen to me singing!"
As soon as she said this, everyone in the private room fell silent.
"Auntie, what song do you want to sing I'll go and order it for you," Ouyuan Man asked.
"No need. I'll just sing my own song!" Liu Meng waved her hand dismissively before picking up the microphone and starting her a cappella performance.
I quietly lie in bed,
Unable to see the outside world,
But I can hear their voices,
I try my hardest to speak with them,
Yet they cannot hear my voice,
I can only sing my songs,
That's just the voice of my heart...
People were unaware that they had been captivated, seeing a lonely maiden slowly recounting her sorrows. Her ethereal and pure voice seemed to have no impurities at all. At this moment, everyone suddenly realized what heavenly music truly was; this was heavenly music!
Unconsciously, Liu Yunman's eyes were filled with tears. She fully understood the pain Auntie had endured for sixteen years. If someone really fell into a coma for sixteen years, it wouldn't be too painful. But the real pain came from not being able to truly fall asleep. She could sense the world outside but no one could hear her voice. Unable to communicate with the outside world, she was only left to compose songs and sing them to herself over and over again. It was through this method that she had endured those long sixteen years.
Summer's heart was also heavy; he felt the loneliness in Liu Meng's singing. He seemed to see the Goddess Sister who, despite having him by her side for sixteen years, always appeared very lonely. There was a kind of loneliness that no one could understand. From listening to Liu Meng’s voice, Summer sensed the similarity between Liu Meng and the Goddess Sister. They both had this kind of loneliness, but Liu Meng suffered due to being in a coma for sixteen years while the Goddess Sister wasn’t in a coma; she had him by her side, as well as three masters on the mountain. But why was she still so lonely
Unknowingly, the singing stopped, yet the room remained silent, everyone immersed in the unparalleled music.
"Why isn't anyone clapping Did I sing badly" Liu Meng complained unhappily.
"Auntie, it's not that you sang badly; it was too good. Everyone is still savoring it!" Liu Yunman wiped her eyes and tears away.
"Really" Liu Meng was a little happy but still somewhat doubtful.
"It really was very beautiful. I've never heard such beautiful songs," Summer held Liu Meng's hand, "Dream Sister, from now on, I won't let you feel so lonely anymore."
"Little rascal! You said it now, no lying!" This time, Liu Meng truly became happy. Some people say that once one gets used to loneliness, it’s not scary anymore. But in fact, for someone who had been lonely for sixteen years, the fear of loneliness still remains; she never felt like she got used to it.
"This song is really pleasant to listen to!"
"Really, it's much better than those singers."
"Exactly, even that Zhao Yujie can't compare to嫂子's song."
If嫂子went into singing, she would surely become the most popular star immediately.
That's right, all those Kings and Queens of the music industry would have to make way!
...
The others in the private room finally reacted and started praising her, this time they weren't just flattering her but genuinely thought so.
"Ahem, you guys continue singing! I want to listen to your songs!" Liu Meng cheerfully shouted.
"Auntie, your voice is so beautiful, how can we still have the face to sing" Liuyunan said somewhat helplessly.
"No, no, I think you all sound pretty good too. In any case, please go ahead and sing! I like it lively," Liu Meng quickly responded.
Summer spoke up, "Since Sister Meng says so, then sing away. Sing whatever you want, whether it's good or not doesn't matter, the important thing is to be lively." With his words, even if Ding Bao and others felt embarrassed about singing, they had no choice but to do so, and the private room once again became bustling with activity.
There was no doubt that Liu Meng was the sole star of the evening; everyone was busy making her happy, and she indeed looked delighted. They kept playing until nearly midnight before finally calling it a night—only because Liu Meng had fallen asleep in Xia Tian's arms.
Liu Yunman drove the three of them to Xuefu Mingyuan. She wanted to head back herself but Sun Xinxin invited her: "Sis Yunman, why don't you stay here We can manage with just the two of us."
"Alright." After glancing at Aunt Liu who was lying in Xia Tian's arms, Liu Yunman agreed.
At this moment, Liu Yunman and Sun Xinxin had become quite familiar. Sun Xinxin also learned about Liu Meng’s background; she found out that she actually fell into a coma for sixteen years. Originally somewhat jealous of Liu Meng, Sun Xinxin no longer harbored any ill will toward her.
After someone falls into a coma for sixteen years and wakes up, even if they do something outrageous, there would be people willing to forgive them. Moreover, what Liu Meng was doing now wasn’t really outlandish at all.
Liu Meng slept soundly but held Xia Tian tightly in her arms. Naturally, Xia Tian ended up sleeping with Liu Meng on the same bed that night. Unfortunately, Liu Meng was too deeply asleep; Xia Tian didn’t feel right taking advantage of it to do something while she was out cold, so he just obediently embraced her and slept through the night. Of course, considering his habit, there was no way for him to avoid testing a particular part of her body for its elasticity and size.
The next morning, Xia Tian woke up to the sound of his phone ringing.
"Who is it" Xia Tian answered groggily.
“Xia Tian, it's me. Could you come over My grandfather’s condition seems to have worsened!” Liu Mengyin’s anxious voice came through the line.
“Alright, don't worry, beautiful sister. I'll be there right away.” Xia Tian woke up immediately.
Hanging up the phone, he heard Liu Meng's sleepy voice from inside his arms: "Little rascal, where are you going"ldn't see her anytime soon."Mind your own business," the girl glared fiercely at Xia Tian. She remembered him well—the guy who had smashed her Ferrari and molested her—so she immediately recognized hi...
