Miaomiao was born with a soft and delicate voice. It sounded extremely sweet, and just listening to it made one feel as if they were basking in the gentle spring breeze.
Although Cheng Ruan and Yao Mingxuan had never heard Miaomiao sing before, they felt that even if her singing was out of tune, they could overlook such flaws and appreciate the sweetness. After all, when Miaomiao was called on to read texts in class, her voice was quite pleasant.
They never expected that Miaomiao was not just tone - deaf and out of tune when singing. Her singing was simply otherworldly, in a bad way.
A well - structured song was sung by Miaomiao as if she were chanting Buddhist scriptures. As soon as the first line came out, Cheng Ruan and Yao Mingxuan were stunned. They were completely dumbfounded.
“I finally see all my dreams in bloom. The young chaser's song rings so loud. I finally see...”
The singing continued. Miaomiao didn't feel anything wrong with her singing at all. She was completely immersed in her own singing world, ignoring everyone around her. She was so happy.
Cheng Ruan and Yao Mingxuan didn't have the heart to interrupt Miaomiao. After all, it was their idea to let Miaomiao sing. If they stopped her at this moment, it might seriously damage Miaomiao's confidence.
Finally, enduring the mental torture, they listened to her finish the song. Cheng Ruan quickly grabbed the microphone, trying to use her specially - learned singing skills to impress Miaomiao and make her aware of her own shortcomings.
But Miaomiao was completely oblivious. She happily listened to Cheng Ruan's singing and then clapped her hands. Then it was Yao Mingxuan's turn. He was also very supportive, clapping his hands non - stop.
The kids finally understood what a KTV was. It was a place to relax, have fun, and sing.
Moreover, Miaomiao fell in love with this place. She was truly immersed in her own singing voice. She took turns singing songs with her friends. In the end, even Cheng Ruan and Yao Mingxuan were too tired to sing anymore, but Miaomiao was still eager for more and grabbed all the microphones.
Finally, the time in the private room was up. Miaomiao skipped out of the KTV happily, while Cheng Ruan and Yao Mingxuan staggered out, looking as if they had lost their souls.
“I finally understand what it means to bring disaster upon oneself,” Cheng Ruan mumbled with a blank stare.
Yao Mingxuan retorted mercilessly, “You insisted on bringing Miaomiao here alone instead of waiting for Lao Wei. If you had waited for Lao Wei, someone could have stopped her.”
“I never thought such a sweet voice could sing such an awful song. I never even dreamed of it!” Cheng Ruan shook her head, looking on the verge of tears.
It was already 10 p.m. when they came out of the KTV. It took Cheng Ruan and Yao Mingxuan a while to regain their senses. Seeing that it was so late and they had to go to the shooting club the next day, Cheng Ruan suggested that they go to her home with Miaomiao. Her home was closer to the shooting club. They could let Miaomiao go home after coming out of the club the next day.
Miaomiao, who had never stayed overnight at a friend's house before, immediately nodded in agreement. The KTV experience that night made her very happy, and she was determined to go there again with her friends when Wei Ziqi came back.
When it was time to go to bed at night, Cheng Ruan had a nightmare all night. In the dream, she was in an empty room. Miaomiao's singing voice echoed throughout the room. The lyrics seemed to take on a physical form, pressing down on her like a mountain, making it hard for her to breathe. The voice was like that of an old monk persuading people to turn back from the precipice, rambling on and on.
Cheng Ruan just wanted to shout in the dream, “Master! Stop chanting!”
She didn't sleep well that night. The next day, with dark circles under her eyes, Cheng Ruan saw Yao Mingxuan with the same dark circles. They exchanged a knowing look and nodded.
It seemed that only Miaomiao had slept well the previous night.
But the original plan couldn't be changed. Miaomiao hated people who were dishonest and untrustworthy the most. Although the two of them were so sleepy that their legs were shaking, they still went out with Miaomiao and headed to the club.
One day and one night of playing was completely a happy time for Miaomiao but a torture for the other two. Finally, at night, after Miaomiao had enough fun with the guns, the three of them parted ways and went back to their own homes.
After getting home, Miaomiao stood beside Lin Yao, who was cooking, and told him about the happy time she had with her friends in the past two days. She expressed how she had never thought that singing could be so much fun.
Lin Yao was cutting vegetables while feeling puzzled. He didn't object to the kids going to the KTV. After all, these kids knew their limits and wouldn't do anything out of line. He was just curious that he had never heard his daughter sing before. Usually, Miaomiao didn't even hum a tune. How could she become so obsessed with singing after just one visit to the KTV?
The key was that although the kid liked singing, she hadn't hummed a single note while telling him about it.
Maybe it was just that adults didn't understand the world of kids. Lin Yao didn't take it too seriously. He thought about whether he should buy a bigger house and install a home KTV so that Miaomiao could play anytime. But looking at the house where he had lived for two lifetimes, being nostalgic, he just couldn't bear to replace it. He just thought about it and then gave up the idea.
It had to be said that the nostalgic habit of this silly dad narrowly saved him from a long - term torture of sound. If he had really installed a home KTV, this silly dad, whose sleep quality was not very good, would probably be the first one to collapse.
Miaomiao was on vacation, but Cheng Ruan and the others weren't. They helped with their family's business and could only play on weekends. So the following days were left for Lin Yao and Miaomiao to enjoy their parent - child time.
Lin Yao took Miaomiao to all the places they had wanted to go but never had the chance. Finally, the official summer vacation time arrived.
Miaomiao insisted on going to pick up Wei Ziqi in person, so Lin Yao had no choice but to let her go. However, while the kids were on summer vacation, he was about to get busy. He couldn't accompany his daughter to pick up Wei Ziqi at the airport, so he had to send the driver to pick them up.
The first thing Wei Ziqi saw after getting off the plane was Miaomiao and his mother. He felt extremely content.
Hearing that Miaomiao had stayed overnight at Cheng Ruan's place, Wei Ziqi had some ideas.
Wouldn't he be able to keep Miaomiao overnight at his place if they played late enough?
But they were almost in their adolescence, and Lin Yao definitely wouldn't agree to Miaomiao staying overnight at his place alone.
No, he had to bring Yao Mingxuan and Cheng Ruan along too.
Wei Ziqi didn't know why he was so insistent on having Miaomiao stay at his place for one night. He just felt that since Miaomiao had already stayed at Cheng Ruan's place, he felt a bit cheated and had to make it up.
