Chapter 9 (2/2)

The melody's lively tune and of remorse, interwoven together, seemingly contradicting and subtle, making people guess if the protagonist was sad or just reminiscing of that person who likes to drink that bitter black coffee, an unforgettable memory tangled with hazy feelings making people care more.

Su Yang deliberately sang a song that will help him acquire some goodwill from this person.

Originally Su Yao and Fu Zhou met in a cafe, a shy waiter and an older man who only ordered a cup of black coffee, it was supposed to be full of wonderful memory, but everything turned into a mess.

He wanted to make Fu Zhou remember this memory, the way he sigh's about the lack of fate, about how he doesn't know how to express his feelings, making it seem like his love is too cheap.

Besides, men, if you go easy on them, you won't be cherished. If you are aloof, sophisticated, it will cause them to worry more about you going away.

The crisp and melodious voice gradually settles down, and in this silent night it seems extraordinarily lonely, but it set off a burst of shallow ripples.

Su Yang slowly raised his eyes and asked: “Was it good?”

Fu Zhou didn't speak, giving him a look, before he gently nodded his head:

“It was good, just a little unexpected.”

Su s.h.i.+ chuckled and said: “Did my song surprised you. If I said that this song was created by me, would you be more surprised?”

Fu Zhou shook his head: “No, no one would write such a strange song, what's it called?”

Su Yang looked at him then slowly said: “Yang – Guang – Zheng – Hao”

“The sun is just right…” Fu Zhou rolled this words with his tongue and whispered: “Sorry.”

Su Yang frowned a bit, pretending to be confused: “Why apologize.” Hey, did you finally got back your conscience and regretted what you did to this young master.

“I don't know, our relations.h.i.+p used to be pure, but then I dumped you, and you retaliated by smearing on my reputation. Now I offer wealth and you give me your cooperation but listening to you singing that song makes my chest stuffy.”

“…” Su Yang looked at his handsomely dazed face, all of a sudden, countless cool expressions appeared in his mind that he wanted to say.

Originally, this task was considered a failure, even now there is still no progress, unexpectedly, he found out that Fu Zhou doesn't really know what love is! In other words, this guy has an emotional flaw!

No wonder he treats everyone with that same gentleness, although he has a wide variety of friends very few truly matters to him. In fact, he is innocent, he's just used to showing his perfect side in front of people.

Seemingly affectionate but deep down, he is actually ruthless, that is what made Fu Zhou.

The original owner was a slag, the president is not a slag but a husband of an adulteress!

——System, are you kidding me?

——No

Fu Zhou looked at his suddenly ugly expression and carefully asked: “Are you unwell? Why don't you go back to your room to rest.”

Su Yang heavily nodded, reviewing the key components, the difficulty instantly upgraded by several levels in an instant. He must reorganize his plans.

Fu Zhou looked at his departing figure, his heart getting increasingly upset.

The purpose of having Su Yang stay was for him to treat his own untold disease. Unfortunately, no progress has been made. Except for that night, he suddenly became angry and then everything went back to before. Since then, there has been no situation where the same thing happened.

He's been thinking about that all that these days that he forgot to consider what Su Yang would feel about it, they've already broken up but he stubbornly pinned him to his side, letting him sink deeper into love, not minding if it right or wrong.

If it was just anyone, he wouldn't have such concerns but the subject is Su Yang, why wouldn't he care?

Su Yang dumped himself on the bed, hatefully monologuing: “d.a.m.n it, I mean, I've been carefully fighting for so long in order not to lose blood, didn't know that I was fighting a BOSS and not a regular mob, his defensive power is too high! ”

The system said: “You didn't completely lose your blood though, last time it went up by 7%.”

“Yes, and then I threw the bowl of porridge at him…” He grabbed his hair and cried: “How did it go up last time?”

System answered: “I don't know what happened last time but tonight it rose to 11%, it seems like singing a love song strategy is effective.”

Su Yang got up and climb to his feet excitedly: “It unexpected rose! Finally, something to look forward to…”

He touched his chin, his thoughts flas.h.i.+ng quickly, so it wasn't emotional defect isn't the problem, as long as he is willing to patiently wait. Besides, who wouldn't be afraid if that progress also reduced itself to zero?

After thinking about it, he happily hummed a tune as he went into the bathroom, and the song is all about that 11%. Did he sing a few more songs? Well, that's just being delusional, but the road ahead is getting brighter and full of hope.

After showering, he wiped his hair with a dry towel and walked out of the bathroom.

Fu Zhou never entered his room and he usually sleeps naked. At this point, he doesn't bother to put on pajamas anymore.

As a result, two people caught sight of each other… Two people became stunned.

If you asked Su Yang why isn't he hurrying to get dressed? That's because the system has been ringing in his ears, halting him in his actions.

Current Progress: 12%

Current Progress: 13%

Current Progress: 14%

Current Progress: 27%

Then system finally stopped.

Su Yang is cool about it, uh, Fu Zhou is very chill about it too. It's a happy ending.

SuYang: Face, think kind of thing has already been thrown away ╮(╯▽╰)╭.

*to gauge the heart of a gentleman with one's own mean measure (idiom) = projecting one's shortcoming on someone

Yang – Guang – Zheng – Hao = means ‘The sun is just right'

MMP = Chinese internet slang for saying something ‘cool', ‘exciting' etc.

The lyrics just kept becoming hilarious every line, I feel like he mostly just sang his dislike for black bitter coffee hahaha…

Anyway, I really wasn't able to understand much of that explanation about the song. It was so cheesy too, something sweet and repet.i.tive was going on that part…
