Chapter 681: Li Xiao is Crazy with Jealousy

Cai Xiaotang also couldn't help but stare at the other person for a few extra moments.

Then, in the next second, she realized that the other person was also looking in her direction!

Perhaps it was because her Eastern face was simply too conspicuous, but the bassist first froze for a moment, then suddenly winked at her and raised an eyebrow.

In an instant, the girls at the surrounding tables all looked over at Cai Xiaotang.

"Cough..."

Cai Xiaotang was not used to being watched like this and gave an awkward cough.

Li Xiao took in the interaction between the two, his uninjured hand clenching into a fist, and a flash of displeasure instantly crossed his eyes.

Immediately after, the music suddenly started up.

The band on stage began to play, instantly lifting the atmosphere of the entire bar.

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but be infected by the atmosphere here; she quickly ordered her food and called for a bottle of wine for herself, drinking it unhurriedly.

Li Xiao still had injuries on his body and couldn't touch a drop of alcohol, so he could only sit quietly to the side, glancing at the bassist on stage from time to time, silently counting the time in his heart.

They had already been here for nearly half an hour...

When did she plan to leave?

Li Xiao looked at the wine bottle in front of him, wanting very much to have a glass himself, and felt sour inside.

But Cai Xiaotang didn't look anxious at all.

She wasn't very hungry; she ate two slices of pizza slowly, then held her wine glass, sipping it in small mouthfuls while focusing on the stage.

The song the band was playing was somewhat unfamiliar, but that didn't stop the people offstage from cheering for them.

When the song reached the middle section, there was even a whole segment of a bass solo.

"Wow..."

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but be drawn in, nodding along to the rhythm of the music.

To her surprise, in the next second, that bassist suddenly looked up in her direction again!

And he blew a flying kiss directly at her!

Then he reached out and grabbed a rose from the decorations next to the stage and threw it toward Cai Xiaotang!

"Ahhh! Over here, over here!"

Other female fans offstage screamed enviously at the stage.

The bassist just smiled and shrugged, ignoring the cheers of the others, and continued his playing.

Cai Xiaotang subconsciously reached out and caught the rose, feeling a bit flattered.

Was this... specifically for her?

That's interesting...

She smiled, held the rose in her hand, and waved it at the stage, smiling brightly, feeling that this experience was quite novel.

However...

Someone sitting to the side finally couldn't sit still anymore.

"Do you like watching band performances?"

Li Xiao finally couldn't help but ask loudly over the music, trying hard to cover up the jealousy in his tone.

Isn't he just someone who plays an instrument?

Watching so intently...

And she even accepted someone else's flower and smiled so happily at someone else!

"What—did—you—say?" Cai Xiaotang didn't hear clearly what he asked, her attention entirely on the stage in front of her.

Li Xiao had no choice but to lean into her ear helplessly and repeat, "I said! Do you really like watching bands?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Cai Xiaotang nod heavily and answer affirmatively, "I think this is cool!"

Li Xiao finally got his answer, a dark light flashing in his eyes, and he suddenly sat back in his seat, his gaze sweeping casually toward the stage.

She thinks it's cool?

Then it just so happens that there's an opportunity today...

Li Xiao's expression darkened slightly as he quietly waited for the performance on stage to end.

Finally—the enthusiastic song came to an end, and the band on stage stopped to take a break.

Cai Xiaotang was full and satisfied, leaning back in her seat, intending to stay a while longer to listen.

But just then—she caught a glimpse of Li Xiao beside her standing up.

Thinking he was going to the restroom, Cai Xiaotang didn't say anything.

But to her surprise, she then saw Li Xiao walking straight toward the stage!

"Wow..."

"What does that guy want to do?"

A small wave of discussion instantly broke out offstage.

Cai Xiaotang also looked at the stage in surprise, unable to react for a moment.

What is Li Xiao going up there for?

Could it be that he wants to join them?

Cai Xiaotang was stunned, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Li Xiao casually pick up an unused bass nearby.

"Wow~~~"

The drummer on the side couldn't help but whistle, his eyes sweeping toward his own band's bassist.

The rest of the band members also immediately and tactfully retreated to the side with their instruments, and someone even took the initiative to help plug in the bass in Li Xiao's hand.

"Thank you!"

Li Xiao casually said thanks and lightly plucked the strings twice with his fingers.

"Hum——!!"

The bass's low-frequency sound instantly resonated throughout the entire venue.

Li Xiao, however, frowned slightly.

His left hand was fine, but his right hand was still wrapped in a plaster cast, making his finger movements slightly hindered.

Cai Xiaotang frowned as she watched the stage, wanting to speak but hesitating.

What is this guy making a scene for!

Doesn't he know his hand is still wrapped in a plaster cast!

Why did he run up there!

She was anxious and finally couldn't help but shout: "Li Xiao! What are you doing up there! Do you not want your hand anymore!"

Hearing her voice, Li Xiao couldn't help but curl his lips, but he said nothing, only smiling wantonly at her.

"Didn't you think it was cool?"

As he spoke, he hung the bass over his body.

Everyone present was a foreigner; hearing the two of them speak, they immediately showed puzzled expressions, all curious about what the two of them meant.

"hey……"

The bassist also walked over, and seeing that Li Xiao still had an injury on his hand, he seemed to want to say something.

Li Xiao didn't give him a chance to speak, only softly spitting out one word.

"battle?"

He raised an eyebrow at the other person, his voice neither loud nor soft, just enough for everyone in the front row to hear.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the bar was pushed to its peak!

"battle! battle! battle!"

Almost everyone was shouting the same word, looking at the two people on stage with anticipation.

The bassist no longer declined and casually strummed the instrument in his hands twice.

"Hum——!"

The bass's low-frequency sound spread through the venue once again!

"wow！！！！!"

Everyone off-stage cheered along.

"Boom!"

The drummer started the beat first, and the keyboardist and guitarist followed closely behind, though the two of them didn't show off, merely providing a foundation for the bass's sound.

The next second—a bass sound with a heavy metal flavor entered everyone's eardrums from the speakers.

The bassist played a string of notes first, coordinating perfectly with his own band, and the audience immediately cheered as well.

Cai Xiaotang, however, was so nervous she didn't dare to even breathe, watching the calm and composed Li Xiao on stage, inexplicably breaking into a cold sweat.

Can this guy actually do it or not!

Why is he showing off for no reason!

She was so nervous she didn't even notice what was being played on stage, only seeing that after a burst of music ended, Li Xiao curled his lips and slowly raised his hand.
