Chapter 137 How do you sleep? (1/2)
'Hmm?' For some odd reason, Lexi suddenly felt anxious for no reason.
”What is it~? Missing Mr. main task~?” Sensing the slight change of Lexi's peacefulness, Churu asked with great interest.
'Nothing.' Ignoring Churu's usual banter, Lexi shrugged the bugging feelings that suddenly struck her.
”Hey, hey, Lexi! Why don't you sing for us, eh??” Rika elbowed her with excitement as her brows moved up and down. Her face was a little flushed as she was drinking since the beginning.
Currently, Lexi, Rika, Elliot Gong, Arnold Shen and the crew of the movie were in a large KTV room. After their satisfying dinner, Rika had a great plan on her sleeves. She merrily insisted everyone enjoy and have a drink in the nearest karaoke bar -- her treat.
Of course, the crew was tempted with the word 'free'. Hence, everyone agreed without a second hesitation; Arnold Shen wasn't an exception.
Lexi, on the other hand, was surprised by Rika's carefree personality. Since Rika was extremely famous just like Elliot Gong, she expected her to be more modest. However, Rika's behavior while on set and tonight has a vast difference.
Was she always like this?
Moreover, Lexi was in disbelief about how this whole crew treated each other. There was no contempt in their interaction, rather the whole atmosphere around them and Arnold Shen was light.
Lexi worked into different movies but there was no such dinner as lively as this in her memories… Or, was it because she was busy cooking up schemes and missed all the fun in the past? After all, most of the movies Lexi worked on, Mia Chen was always there.
Regardless, the more Lexi spent the night with them, she gradually got used to it and watched them sing and dance like there's no one watching them.
”Yes yes! I heard Miss Yang has great vocal!” One of the writers of taming hearts sat near Rika chimed in. She as well was evidently tipsy with her beet-red face.
Staff number 1: ”Oh, oh! Miss Yang, grace us with your voice!”
Staff number 2: ”*whistle*”
”Loosen up, Miss Yang and have fun! You've been quiet since earlier. Hehe!” Arnold Shen whom Lexi was the most surprised about cheered after hearing Rika's request.
Soon, all the attention was on Lexi which gave her a little discomfort. It's not that she was shy or anything of the sort, she was just adjusting with this environment.
After swallowing hard, Lexi awkwardly nodded her head. ”Alright…”
”Woohoo! Go bestie~!” Rika's face brightened up and already regarded her as 'bestie'. Whether she was a little drunk or not, Rika undoubtedly liked Lexi more and more.
Regardless of her scandals and the harsh accusations, what's important for her was, the Lexi she knows wasn't near to those articles. Also, she was probably the most real gal she worked with. Hence, the sudden giddiness.
On the corner, Elliot Gong was also having fun talking with another male artist. When he heard Lexi awkwardly spoke, his attention was caught. He already expected her to keep her quiet throughout the night as he was somewhat used to her lack of participation. However, hearing her agreeing to their request, he was mildly surprised.
'Really? She's participating and didn't reject them outright?' He thought inwardly.
”Great! Great! Rika will sing for us next! She will showcase her talent!” Arnold Shen heartily clapped his hands in delight.
”Alright alright! Since I'm in a great mood, I will sing!” As shameless as she can be, Rika instantly agreed without anyone's forcing her. She didn't even give others a chance to speak as she already seconded Arnold Shen's request.
Some of them who already heard Rika's singing could not help their face but twitch. Subconsciously, they had one thought in mind,
'She was waiting for this for sure. Good gracious, our dear ears!'

”What do you want to sing, Miss Yang?” One of the staff inquired.
”Uh,” Lexi pursed her lips, undecided what song she should pick.
Seeing that she was undecided, the staff smiled and offered, pointing at the song title, ”How about this song?”
