Chapter 40: Bad Girl (3k for follows)

Most KTVs around the university follow a budget-friendly route, and since Xucheng College is adjacent to rural areas, the standard of the KTV at the school gate can be imagined.

When Chen Yansen pushed open the private room door, a 50-inch screen came into view; the microphones were wired, with long cords coiled all over the floor.

Tang Zhenzhe held the microphone, singing Andy Lau's "Ice Rain" with deep affection.

"This kid is hopeless; singing 'Ice Rain' won't help him chat up girls."

Chen Yansen shook his head inwardly.

It was 2010; Li Yuchun, Jolin Tsai, Fish Leong, and BY2 were the hot singers girls fawned over, and at the very least, one had to sing songs by the QQ Big Three; if you sang "Ice Rain," girls would think you were accompanying elders to sing.

"Brother Sen, you're finally here! What song do you want to sing? I'll pick it for you." Meng Xibo jumped up and called out with a smile.

"Brother Sen!"

"Classmate Chen, you're here!"

The others also enthusiastically greeted him one after another.

"Sorry, I had some things to do this afternoon, keeping everyone waiting; you guys keep singing, I'll just sit down and have some water."

Chen Yansen waved his hand and made an excuse.

He sat on the edge of the sofa, several meters away from the girls, obviously uninterested in them.

After hanging up Song Yuncheng's phone call, calls came one after another.

Chen Yansen went out to answer a few times, but later found it troublesome and simply replied via text message: Tomorrow at 9 AM, come to the second floor of the Entrepreneurship Park for a face-to-face meeting.

"Whose songs do you like? Shall I sing along with you?"

At some point, Su Meiling had quietly sat down and spoke to Chen Yansen in a soft, gentle voice.

She had specially worn a lace short skirt today, revealing straight, long legs; her top was a white chiffon blouse, with her figure's curves faintly visible; this kind of pure-yet-seductive outfit easily made young boys lose their heads.

Chen Yansen glanced casually and shook his head lightly, saying, "You guys play, don't mind me."

It wasn't that Su Meiling wasn't pretty; rather, in his past life, he had dated several gentle girls like her, and before long, the other party wanted to marry him and have children.

Isn't just dating sweet enough?

He deeply resisted this type of girl from the bottom of his heart.

"Hehe, Brother Sen, since you're here, it's so boring just sitting; what do you want to sing? I'll pick it for you!"

Tang Zhenzhe finished the chorus, put down the microphone, and advised with a grin.

Seeing his expression, he probably thought he had performed well just now and definitely left a good impression on the girls, especially Su Meiling.

Zhu Xiaopeng, Meng Xibo, and Wang Zhengqiang also joined in the teasing; in their view, since Chen Yansen hadn't even touched the microphone after entering, he was likely tone-deaf, so they kept persuading him with the mindset of watching a show.

There weren't any bad intentions; mainly, Chen Yansen's impression on them was too excellent, and they also wanted to see Chen Yansen embarrassed.

Only Song Yang stayed silent, staring down at his phone; the screen was densely packed with text, and he was actually reading a novel!

"Th-then let's pick 'Bad Girl'."

Chen Yansen looked at Su Meiling, smiled slightly, and said deliberately.

The implication inside and out was: Brother doesn't like good girls; he only likes bad girls!

Bad Girl?

Xu Liang's song?

Everyone looked at each other in silence.

You see, at this time, admitting you loved listening to the QQ Big Three's songs was absolutely a shameful thing; no one wanted to admit they were non-mainstream.

His words, however, made another girl's eyes light up.

She had originally been playing with her phone while looking down, but now she immediately sat up straight, gazing intently at Chen Yansen.

The familiar intro slowly played.

Chen Yansen took the microphone, pulled over a chair, sat in front of the screen, and left everyone with a tall back view.

The Rolex on his wrist shone brilliantly under the lights; the combination of a white shirt and black casual pants, no matter how you looked at it, was completely out of place with this song.

"Back then I let go of your hand, turned around with only 'take care' left."

"You didn't even say a word, yet cried for a long, long time."

As soon as Chen Yansen opened his mouth, everyone froze; the few who originally thought he was tone-deaf awkwardly glanced at each other.

His voice was deep and full of texture; his tone even surpassed the original singer; he sang with both confidence and nonchalance, giving "Bad Girl" the flavor of a bad boy.

This was a male-female duet love song; after Chen Yansen finished the male part, he intended to continue singing the female chorus, but unexpectedly, a charming and cute female voice suddenly came from behind:

"In whose embrace will there be a feeling? In the loved-up late night, I am missing you; clearly I changed for you, yet cannot return to the past..."

Chen Yansen turned around and saw a girl in a denim short jacket winking playfully at him.

In terms of looks, she was in no way inferior to Su Meiling; one was lively and straightforward, the other gentle and lovely.

Hey, this is the kind of fun-loving girl Boss Chen likes; she won't cling when parting, and there's no burden when playing.

Chen Yansen curled the corners of his mouth and beckoned to that girl.

The other party understood his meaning instantly; holding the microphone, she hopped over in two or three steps to stand before him, placing a soft little hand in Chen Yansen's palm.

This scene instantly stunned everyone else.

Both were natural in expression, without a shred of awkwardness, holding hands as they finished the entire song.

"Are you a bad girl?"

Chen Yansen moved the microphone away, leaned close to the girl's ear, exhaled a puff of warm breath, and asked in a lowered voice.

Inside the girl's denim jacket was a white camisole; perhaps because they were close, along the neckline, a squeezed and deformed snow-white contour was clearly visible.

"You guess."

Seeing Chen Yansen holding her hand without letting go, the girl giggled; while no one was paying attention, a little hand even gave his abdomen a touch.

After all, Chen Yansen was tall, handsome, and wealthy; it was normal for girls to favor him.

Su Meiling stared fiercely at the two, her silver teeth grinding with a creaking sound; the matchmaking event she had painstakingly organized had ended up benefiting someone else.

"Wow! Brother Sen, you look so cool when you sing!" Song Yang was the first to snap out of it, saying with full admiration.

After the others came to their senses, they also clapped and praised one after another.

To be fair, both of them sang really well, and their coordination was extremely tacit.

Chen Yansen smiled, returned to his seat, and the girl in the denim jacket followed over; she leaned close to Chen Yansen and said, "My name is Xu Xingxing, Xu as in 'speech and noon', Xing as in 'little star'."

"Not small, not bad at all."

Chen Yansen lifted his wine glass, clinked it lightly against hers, and said in a low voice.

"I don't know if I'm a bad girl, but you are definitely a bad boy."

Xu Xingxing followed his gaze, then realized there was a possibility of exposure, quickly pulled her clothes together, and responded softly.

"Then why did you sit over here?"

Chen Yansen took a sip of wine and teased with a smile.

"They are too honest, no fun!"

Xu Xingxing pointed at Tang Zhenzhe and the others, pouting.

"I feel the same way."

Chen Yansen glanced at Su Meiling and replied in a cold tone.

In his previous life, Chen Yansen's personality during university was much like Tang Zhenzhe and the others, and girls had categorized him in the 'no fun' category.

Afterwards, the two drank and rolled dice, talking and laughing.

Xu Xingxing had a good figure and looks; before Chen Yansen arrived, Meng Xibo and Zhu Xiaopeng had both approached to chat her up, but she acted as if she didn't want to play, claiming to be socially anxious, which made the two back off.

Now the two of them understood: she wasn't truly socially anxious, she was just socially anxious only toward them.

The group sang until six in the afternoon before finishing, then went into a restaurant for dinner.

During this time, except for Su Meiling speaking a bit less, the others continued to chat enthusiastically about university life.

On the way back, Tang Zhenzhe said with a smile, "Brother Sen, if you chase Xu Xingxing now, you'll probably win her over in two days."

"Why would I chase her?" Chen Yansen looked speechless and asked back.

"Uh, looking at her, she definitely likes you; if you chase her, it'll be done!"

Tang Zhenzhe was stunned by his question, stumbled for a moment, then explained with a look of frustration at his lack of progress.

"If she likes me, let her come chase me."

Chen Yansen smiled faintly, not seeming to be joking.

"Damn! No wonder you're Brother Sen, my vision was too narrow!" Tang Zhenzhe suddenly slapped his head and grinned.

"Huh? Brother Sen, why didn't you drive today?"

Zhu Xiaopeng saw him walking back to school like everyone else and asked curiously.

"I returned the car to the rental company."

Chen Yansen didn't think much of it and stated the truth.

"Ah? So that Mercedes was really rented by you?"

Zhu Xiaopeng was startled; for some reason, he felt the pressure Chen Yansen gave him drop by ninety-nine percent.

"Idiot! The car might be fake, but a person's ability to make money can't be fake!"

Zhu Xiaopeng's expression was too obvious; not only did Chen Yansen see it, but Song Yang did too, and Song Yang silently cursed disdainfully in his heart.

"Yeah, several hundred a day."

Chen Yansen played the victim; he simply didn't care about others' opinions. For him, the eight-hundred-a-day Mercedes E300 solved many troubles for him and also helped him gain many opportunities.

The world is just like this: first respect the clothes, then respect the person; if you drive a Maybach or a McLaren, pretty Misses will come to you on their own.

Back in the dorm, the group was still highly enthusiastic, constantly chatting about the pretty girls in their class and the intellectual senior girls from the second year, and before they knew it, it was nearly eight in the evening.

"Damn! I haven't taken a shower today! Only ten minutes left until eight, and the bathhouse is closing!"

Wang Zhengqiang suddenly shouted loudly, startling everyone.

After reacting, the group immediately started packing their toiletries; if they were a step later, they would have to shower with cold water, and although it was summer, that feeling was not pleasant.

"Forgot to tell you guys, I rented a room in the teachers' apartment behind, so I won't be staying in the dorm at night anymore. If the counselor asks, just tell the truth."

Chen Yansen stood up to take his leave and, before going, told Tang Zhenzhe one thing.

"Brother Sen, you're moving out to live alone already in your freshman year?"

Tang Zhenzhe held his washbasin, stopped in his tracks, and asked.

"I'll come back during the day, I just won't sleep in the dorm at night. I'm leaving first; you guys run faster. I heard the bathhouse uncle turns off the card reader five minutes early every day."

Chen Yansen reminded them.

"Damn! Only nine minutes left!"

"Bobo, wait for me!"

"Aqiang, you didn't take your shampoo!"

After a chaotic scramble, only Chen Yansen remained in the dormitory; he smiled freely and walked slowly toward 0418.

"Will she come?"

Chen Yansen stepped up to the fourth floor, his gaze landing on the door of 0418.
