"Brother Chen, do we really have to listen to that guy?" A long-haired boy looked at the bar in front of him and said somewhat speechlessly, "We are the well-known campus band from Yan University. How could we possibly come to sing at this kind of bar!"
"Yeah, Brother Chen!" Another boy said, "Even if we want to experience life, we shouldn't come to this kind of bar. The level here is so low. How about we contact a high-level club? My uncle owns one called Beautiful Years; why don't we go there instead?"
"What nonsense are you talking!" Chen Yixun pounded them both and said, "Actually, I think the manager at Jiudong was right. I've been thinking about why I can't catch up with Han Xiaoxiao! I always feel there's a barrier between us, like there's an invisible chasm. No matter how hard I try, I can't touch her. Now, I want to follow in her footsteps; maybe by living the life she has, I might find the answer!"
The first boy said helplessly, "It's over, our suave Brother Chen has really fallen for it. Alright, for our brother's sake, let's give this bar a chance. Let's go inside."
Half an hour later, the three of them walked out of the bar dejectedly.
"What garbage! They actually looked down on our skill level. They are small scale, coming here was a favor from us!" one of the boys said angrily.
"Exactly, they even said our skills were inadequate. We are the strongest campus band; there must be some shady business going on here!"
"Absolutely, there's definitely some shady business!"
Chen Yixun didn't say anything, and his face looked terrible too. It was the first time he had been ridiculed like this in his life!
No talent! Clumsy skills! Off-key! These terms, which he had never dared to imagine before, were spoken by the bar manager, and Chen Yixun even felt like having a major confrontation with him!
But he didn't; he found himself remarkably calm.
"Let's go back in!" Chen Yixun said calmly.
"Ah, Brother Chen, we are going back in? Wasn't the ridicule enough just now?" one boy said hesitantly. "Let's try a different bar instead!"
"Exactly, it's his loss for not recognizing our talent!"
Chen Yixun coldly said, "Didn't he say they have a resident band? Let's go in again and see if their band really is that strong!"
When the bar was bustling with people and the music started playing, Chen Yixun and his group walked in again.
As they entered, they were captivated by an uplifting female voice!
"Recalling the fuzzy childhood in memory, floating petals in the blue sky..." A famous song "Our Love" by F.I.R. Band.
This was a difficult love song to sing, which Chen Yixun had planned to perform to express his feelings to Han Xiaoxiao, but ultimately he failed.
"Our love, once gone, never returns; even now, I still silently wait! Our love, I understand, has become your burden..." Listening to the nearly perfect rendition, Chen Yixun and his mates were silent.
The seamless transition between falsetto and high notes had completely overshadowed Chen Yixun, the so-called band lead singer!
"Brother Chen, what do we do now..." one boy said awkwardly. "Let's just go back, this musician is a bit insane..."
Chen Yixun took a deep breath. "Let's go."
After coming out, the boys from this so-called strongest campus band each hung their heads dejectedly.
"I didn't expect a mere bar singer to be better than us!" a guy sighed. "Brother Chen, there's no hope for us; we might as well give it up!"
Chen Yixun looked at the guy who spoke and said, "Give it up? You want me to give up just like that?"
"What else can we do if we don't give up?" another one scoffed, "We all know, our amateurish skills are only good enough for school, but they mean nothing in the real world!"
"Guys, do you really want to give up?" Chen Yixun asked.
A guy patted Chen Yixun on the shoulder and said, "Brother Chen, when it's time to give up, just give up. Besides, the world is full of beauties; why fixate on one? Those you haven't won over are all goddesses, but once you really get Han Xiaoxiao, you'll realize that all women are basically the same once they spread their legs, right?"
Seeing that all his usual buddies were saying this, Chen Yixun nodded, "Alright then, let's disband. Thanks for all the effort, everyone!"
Hearing Chen Yixun say this, everyone beamed with joy. With their prideful nature, performing in a bar was indeed a disgrace!
"Brother Chen, let's go to Beautiful Years, my uncle just opened the place, my treat!"
"Awesome, I really need a good massage, I'm exhausted!"
...
"Brother Chen, come with us, have a blast, I guarantee you'll forget all your worries!"
Chen Yixun smiled faintly, "Never mind, you guys go ahead, I'm a bit tired and want to take a walk!"
The others didn't mind and jumped into their sports cars, driving towards Beautiful Years.
"Give up? Do I really want to give up?" Chen Yixun shook his head. "What a joke, I finally found a girl who makes my heart flutter; how could I give up that easily? But that guy was right, if I don't go through these experiences, how could I understand what Han Xiaoxiao endures?"
Chen Yixun had never realized before how hard making money was! In his world, driving sports cars and enjoying life was the norm. To him, making money was merely a matter of opening your mouth!
But after a day of torment, he realized that without his rich second generation status, he had no survival skills in society at all!
"Is this what Han Xiaoxiao has to endure every day?" Chen Yixun took a deep breath and turned back into the bar.
"Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you I don't need you as a resident singer? Your skills really need improvement!" the bar manager said impatiently.
Chen Yixun said earnestly, "Manager, I need a job, even if it's just washing dishes, I will work hard!"
The bar manager looked Chen Yixun up and down and snorted with laughter, "Go on, go on, we don't hire waiters here!"
"Manager, please! I really need a job," Chen Yixun pleaded. "You can trust that I'll work very hard!"
Looking at Chen Yixun's earnest face, the bar manager thought for a moment and said, "We just lost a cleaner yesterday. If you're willing, you can be a cleaner. Three thousand yuan a month, how's that?"
Three thousand yuan? That wasn't even enough for one of Chen Yixun's meals! But after a thought, Chen Yixun nodded, "Okay, I'll do it!"
For love, I'm all in!
