Chapter 78

A perfect intro ended, instantly capturing the attention of everyone present.

Tang Song nodded lightly toward Tian Jing.

Immediately after, a fresh and sweet female voice rippled out through the speakers.

"You accompanied me into the cicada summer, crossing the city's hustle and bustle..."

Tian Jing's singing level was quite good, and since she was very familiar with this song, her pitch and rhythm were grasped very accurately; the only problem might be that the emotional expression was insufficient.

After all, she hadn't experienced any lingering, heart-wrenching love herself and could only rely on imagination and immersion.

And Tang Song, who had integrated the guitar performance ability from the dream, fused technique and emotion as he pleased, using arpeggio-style accompaniment to create a flowing musical sense, while also fully expressing the deep affection and helplessness in the song.

Tian Jing, who was at the center of the crowd, listened to the gentle and affectionate guitar sound, and her singing gradually became tinged with emotion.

"I really miss you so much, in every rainy season..."

Good music has strong infectious power, especially this kind of face-to-face live performance.

The diners gradually quieted down and listened to the song attentively.

Many people shifted their gaze from the dazzling Tian Jing to Tang Song, who was sitting on the stool.

At this moment, he was like a gurgling spring flowing in the mountains, cold and refreshing, full of an ascetic aura.

As their eyes met, a slight vibrato appeared in Tian Jing's singing.

Due to her fair skin, a clear red glow instantly appeared on her face and neck.

Noticing her abnormality, Tang Song revealed a warm smile at her.

After all, this date involved a system task, and the main purpose was to make Tian Jing happy.

Then, he stood up directly from the chair and moved closer to her.

Breathing in the fragrance on her, looking at her bright, watery eyes, he followed along and hummed softly.

"You accompanied me into the cicada summer, crossing the city's hustle and bustle

The singing is still wandering, your pomegranate-flower-like eyes..."

Tian Jing instantly relaxed, a big smile appeared on her face, and she swayed her body lightly while singing.

The breeze lifted her fine bangs, and her crystal-clear, snow-white face looked even better than tonight's moon.

Tang Song followed the rhythm of the song, strumming and slapping the strings, his timing extremely precise.

The clear piano sound accompanied by the "tap-tap" sound of slapping the wooden guitar had a unique rhythm.

Chords are just the torso; rhythm is the soul.

Excellent rhythmic movement makes the performance more dynamic and full of vitality.

Tang Song improvised and added rhythmic elements completely different from the original song, instantly making the whole song feel brand new.

……

Accompanied by the guitar sound flowing like a clear spring, the song ended.

Bursts of applause and cheers erupted on the terrace.

Eating barbecue, blowing the evening breeze, enjoying the beautiful scenery, and being able to hear such great music.

It was absolutely a trip worth taking.

Many people had already started posting on Moments and TikTok.

The host at the scene took the microphone and said loudly: "Our customers are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers; the performance by these two handsome men and beautiful women just now was truly too wonderful! This is also the honor of our Xinxian Restaurant! Next, our game continues; I hope everyone will come to challenge!"

Tang Song handed the guitar to Karl, said thank you, and gradually detached from the emotional state of the performance just now.

He smiled and looked at Xiao Jing opposite him, "Happy collaboration! You sang very well!"

"It's all your credit." Tian Jing stuck out her tongue at him, "Turns out you're a hidden master; you play the guitar so well, you could debut on the spot."

"Just a guitarist won't do; how about we form a group and release an album directly?"

"Okay, how about we call it... Sweet Sugar?"

"It's settled then!"

……

At the dining table, He Liting's dull gaze gradually returned to normal.

For a moment, her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Although she couldn't play the guitar, she could tell from the expression and reaction of that singer Karl just now that his level was absolutely very high.

Driving a BMW, tall and handsome, playing a good guitar, and having an outstanding temperament.

This was absolutely an excellent boy, and also the most charming one among the people she had come into contact with.

Back then, it was she who had painstakingly persuaded her to stay away from Tang Song, presenting facts and reasoning to make her have less contact with him.

Thinking back now, she only felt a strong sense of guilt surging.

But last night, Qian Qian had already rejected Tang Song, and he now had such a beautiful, wealthy companion; everything was already too late.

Li Xinghui looked at the lively crowd beside him and suggested: "Liting, I remember you sing quite well; why don't you participate too? Join in the fun."

"No." He Liting replied absent-mindedly, then added: "Brother Hui, I'm not feeling very well; I might have to go home and rest first in a while."

Li Xinghui was stunned, "Is that so? Then I'll take you back."

"No need, no need; going back and forth is quite a waste of time, and we still have so many dishes left, you eat slowly, I'll just take a taxi back."

After saying that, He Liting picked up her bag and stood up.

"Alright then, be careful on the road, and remember to let me know when you get home." Li Xinghui didn't insist further.

The two hadn't known each other for long and were just ordinary colleagues; since He Liting refused so firmly, he had no way to keep her.

He Liting finally glanced at Tang Song's direction and waved: "Thank you so much to Brother Hui today; I'll treat you to a meal later, I'm leaving first, bye."

……

Another ten minutes passed, the restaurant's small game ended, and the handsome manager took the stage again.

He invited everyone to leave comments and vote in the TikTok live broadcast room.

Tian Jing won without a doubt and successfully obtained a free meal card, which could be used directly when checking out.

The two raised their glasses to celebrate a little.

When they were almost done eating, Tian Jing sat next to him again and asked Tang Song to teach her guitar fingering.

After all, she had been a child who loved music since she was young and had also learned guitar for a few days, but she had never had a master's guidance before and couldn't get started.

Tang Song didn't hide anything and personally guided her, holding her hands and simulating the movements in the air.

Tian Jing's face became hotter and hotter; looking at his hands, she whispered: "Just now, I saw that your movements of strumming, slapping, and tapping were all especially handsome; can you take me through it a few times?"

After saying that, she turned slightly, with her back to him, and raised her hands.

"Of course, no problem." Tang Song pursed his lips and gently held her hands from behind.

Silky long hair, narrow shoulders, slender waist, thin back.

A sense of pleasure instantly surged, making his heart surge with excitement.

For Tian Jing, this company goddess, his impression was still very deep.

Every Friday afternoon tea, she was the most beautiful scenery in the activity area.

Wearing exquisite and beautiful clothes, holding a knife to help everyone cut the cake.

Her speech was sweet and cute, and she was deeply loved by the vast number of male colleagues.

However, she had a great sense of propriety in social interactions and always kept a certain distance from male colleagues.

Even Du Shaokai, who showed his devotion every day, found it very difficult to get close to her.

At that time, Tang Song would only secretly admire her a few times and discuss her a few words in the group, never thinking that he would have anything happen with her.

Now, having such intimate contact, he felt a full sense of achievement in his heart.

Tian Jing performed very cooperatively, seemingly not noticing his rapid breathing and intense heartbeat, following his movements up and down, tapping and pointing.
