Chapter 215 Surprise

Fu Yingzhou knew how fast Shi Shi could write songs. He watched as she wrote quickly in her notebook, and in no time, a song was freshly completed.

Fu Yingzhou curiously leaned over to take a look and saw three characters written at the top.

———"I Like You"

Is it that straightforward?

Shishi must really like him.

"Will you sing it for me?"

Shi Shi nodded and opened the piano lid. A crisp sound came from her fingertips.

I like you

Give me your coat

Let me feel like I'm hiding inside your body

I like you

Lend me your comb

Let me kiss you with my soft hair.

I like you

fog on the car window

It's as if your love is breathing.

Shi Shi's rendition of "I Like You" is Xu Jiaying's version. The lyrics are tender and moving, expressing rich emotions. Xu Jiaying perfectly conveyed the song with her gentle and delicate voice.

I like following you like this.

Take me wherever you want

Your face

Slowly approach

Tomorrow will gradually become clearer.

I love your heart.

A light touch on each of my fingers senses

I know

It speaks of your promises.

When Shi Shi sang this part, the two looked into each other's eyes, their gazes meeting only for one another. Just as they were gazing deeply into each other's eyes, Shi Shi's phone suddenly rang at an inopportune moment.

She looked away from Fu Yingzhou, gave him a slightly apologetic glance, and then picked up her phone. Kong Pan's voice came from the other end, urging her to come home immediately. Shi Shi hesitated, glancing at Fu Yingzhou while listening to Kong Pan's urging on the phone.

Fu Yingzhou noticed her predicament and said softly, "Sneaking out so late at night. Your aunt must be very worried. Come on, I'll take you home."

Shi Shi nodded, took Fu Yingzhou's hand, and the two left the company.

After Fu Yingzhou took her home, before leaving, she quickly gave him a light kiss on the cheek and said, "When I release this song, I want everyone to know how much I love my fiancé."

Fu Yingzhou paused for a moment, then smiled warmly as he watched Shi Shi hurry away. The night was still cold, and the lingering echo of her song seemed to still fill the air. Sitting in his car, Fu Yingzhou savored the moment, his heart filled with anticipation—anticipation of hearing Shi Shi sing that moving love song for him again.

Because Fu Yingzhou was in a hurry, and because engagements don't require as much preparation as weddings, their engagement banquet was held a month later.

The time came to the night before the engagement.

Shishi felt that Fu Yingzhou had been acting strangely lately. For the past month, he had become elusive, which was very unusual for him.

If it weren't for her woman's intuition telling her that Fu Yingzhou was still loyal to her and that there was no trace of him cheating, Shi Shi would have almost thought that their upcoming engagement was going to have some kind of mishap.

"You called me out like that, all mysterious. What's up?"

Fu Yingzhou took a paper bag from the back seat of the car and handed it to her.

"Put on the blindfold inside, I have a surprise for you today."

Well, usually these kinds of actions are marriage proposals or similar ceremonies, and Shi Shi felt she was pretty much right. She also thoughtfully thought that if Fu Yingzhou's plans weren't very romantic, she should at least give him face and pretend to be very touched.

Shi Shi obediently put on the blindfold. She sensed that the car hadn't left the city. She wondered where Fu Yingzhou was taking her to propose.

Nightlife is an upscale music bar. Don't let its simple name fool you; it's anything but. Many musicians and audiophiles in the industry love to showcase their talents here.

At this time of day, the nightlife is usually bustling, but today it's strangely quiet. Well, not exactly quiet, since there are still quite a few people there. It's because tonight, it's all singers, not audience members.

Hang Yi's phone suddenly rang. He checked the message and immediately switched to "battle mode." Picking up the walkie-talkie, Hang Yi said, "Everyone, get ready! Today's leading lady will arrive in 10 minutes!"

Pang Ying, seemingly head over heels in love, tidied her makeup one last time, grabbed the microphone, and headed to the side of the stage to prepare. Even though she was only there to help out in a small way, she was an extremely dedicated person who never took any stage lightly.

When Fu Yingzhou appeared, leading a blindfolded Shishi, Pang Ying couldn't help but sigh. Truly, there is still genuine affection in the world; one should always believe in love!

She was the first to finish that dog food!

Pang Ying, considered a former queen of pop, possesses undeniable talent. She opened her mouth by singing "A Smile and It's Over," a song Shi Shi wrote for her.

Shi Shi recognized Pang Ying's voice. Curious, she removed her blindfold. Seeing that the time was right, Fu Yingzhou stopped stopping her from removing the blindfold.

The venue was completely dark, with only a small light coming from the center of the stage. Even if Pang Ying was a flop, there shouldn't have been a single audience member!

"Is this some kind of private concert that Sister Ying is going to hold?"

Fu Yingzhou put his index finger to his lips, making a "shh" gesture, indicating to Shishi to continue listening.

After finishing her song, Pang Ying did not leave the stage, nor did any host announce her name. Instead, another person walked onto the stage from the side.

Yi Cheng is also an old acquaintance of Shi Shi.

As soon as the accompaniment started, Shi Shi knew what song they were going to sing without them even having to say a word.

It's the theme song for the TV series "The Great Detective of the Song Dynasty" directed by Jiang Haichao—"As Long As I Have You".

The previous song had a very negative message, which Fu Yingzhou didn't like. But when he heard the lyrics of this song, his smile broadened.

As long as you are in my life

Everything has changed.

May all shooting stars meet at any time

From then on, there will be no more helpless separations in this world.

I don't need to keep my eyes open to watch your departing figure.

Youth that didn't go bad

No lost love

All promises are as eternal as the stars.

After singing two songs, Pang Ying winked at Shi Shi in the audience, then turned and left the stage with Yi Cheng.

"What's going on?"

Fu Yingzhou grabbed her shoulders and said, "Just listen to the song."

They're quite good at keeping you in suspense!

Next up on stage was an old acquaintance: Hang Minmin, Fu Yingzhou's not-so-professional admirer.

She was dressed exceptionally well today, with two red buns in her hair and a little dress that looked like a Fuwa doll.

I want to send you a text message

I miss you so much.

I want to get through to you right away.

I miss you so much.

After Hang Minmin finished singing, Shi Shi secretly commented to Fu Yingzhou, "Her singing skills have improved a lot!"

Fu Yingzhou unleashed his sharp tongue: "Hmm, you're not off-key anymore."

After Hang Minmin, another familiar face appeared on stage. It was Qu Wen's boyfriend, Cheng Cheng. Shi Shi's gossipy nature was immediately piqued.

She whispered to Fu Yingzhou, "He used to sing off-key too! I wonder what he's like now."

Chengcheng sang "Treading Mountains and Rivers," a song Shishi wrote for him. Perhaps because he had sung it many times, his performance was stable until the beginning, which was not bad. However, when it came to the climax, he actually cracked his voice!

Fu Yingzhou couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Shi Shi sold too many songs, and it wasn't realistic to find them all. Since he was only going to find a portion of them, he should have found some with better singing skills!
