Beijing-Hong Kong Affair

Chapter 6 Misfortunes never come singly
Lin Xian said unconfidently: "I'm not very good at singing, just pick a song at random."

Jiang Yunian stared at Lin Xian for a few seconds, then turned sideways and asked his friend to order a song called "Brave" by Miriam Yeung.

I don't know why, but the moment I saw her, I felt that this song was very suitable for her.

The moment the prelude sounded, Lin Xian clenched the microphone.

This song is one she often listens to.

Whether on the way to her part-time job or on the way to school, when Chen Ji was not around, this song accompanied her for countless days and nights.

Towards Chen Ji, she had only a lonely courage.

But now, that lonely courage has come to an end, leaving only the embarrassing pain.

Jiang Yunian’s friends were all jaw-dropping. Someone who had never sung before not only sang today, but also sang with the young girl.

It is a wonder of the world.

Jiang Yunian's voice was very steady. The first part he sang had a low pitch. After singing a section, he turned around and motioned Lin Xian to continue singing.

Lin Xian took a deep breath and began the most glorious Sheniu event to date in her broken Cantonese.

When the sound that was comparable to a disaster came, Jiang Yunian frowned.

But Lin Xian herself didn't feel that way, and she kept chasing after him, waving her flag and shouting: "Others never agree with me, and even reason doesn't allow it, but I still devote myself to it and don't feel the pain at all..."

Jiang Yunian didn't expect that a girl who spoke so softly could sing so badly, with no pitch to sing in the right tune.

Not only him, but everyone present was shocked.

Jiang Yunian really wanted to stop her, but when he turned around and saw tears flashing in the little girl's eyes, his movements froze.

It turned out that she was crying, and only by singing this song did she dare to let out her emotions.

How could he have the nerve to stop a girl who was heartbroken and hurt.

I could only sing along with her silently, trying my best to help her get the tone right.

At the end of the song, Lin Xian burst into tears.

She turned her face away, wiped her tears carelessly, and then bowed deeply, "Gentlemen, enjoy your time. I'll take my leave first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man had already retreated.

Jiang Yunian looked at her back and fell into deep thought.

"I dare say this is the worst song I have ever heard. It doesn't suit her face at all."

Jiang Yunian glanced at the people around him and replied calmly, "I think he's OK. He's quite genuine."

"Master Jiang, you are not attracted to her, are you?"

Jiang Yunian did not respond, but sent a message to Vivian, telling her clearly to let Lin Xian leave.

Lin Xian outside the corridor took a long time to calm herself down before she came out of the emotions of the song just now.

She secretly swore in her heart that this was the last time she would cry for Chen Ji.

From tomorrow on, there will be no more Chen Ji in her world.

She still has to complete her studies and become a qualified doctor.

As soon as she returned to the lounge, Vivian held Lin Xian's arm and said, "Xian, you performed very well tonight. You can go first."

Lin Xian was shocked. "Is it all right now?"

Vivian smiled flatteringly, "Yes, the guests in Room 606 are very satisfied, so let's just ignore the bottle of wine."

Lin Xian felt a little uncomfortable with the arm being held by a stranger. She just said a few words of thanks and changed her clothes.

"Vivian, can I have this dress, please?"

Vivian was stunned, "Of course, you can take it."

Lin Xian scratched her head embarrassedly. She knew that this request was a bit abrupt, but for someone who had no money and no luggage, having a pair of clothes to change into was better than having nothing at all.

She put the skirt into her schoolbag and saw the pure gold tie clip lying quietly in the compartment, which was so dazzling.

Lin Xian asked Vivian about where to recycle gold jewelry and hurried downstairs. Adults don't have that much time to be sad about the passing of time, and she still has to find a way to solve the problem of accommodation and dinner tonight.

You can't just let yourself sleep on the streets.

Lin Xian rushed to the nearest gold jewelry recycling store and handed over the pure gold tie clip in her pocket.

The other party took one look and said, "No, it's fake, it's a stray item."

Lin Xian caught a fake word from his mouth and shook her head repeatedly: "Take a closer look, it can't be fake, it was brought back by my friend from abroad."

The person in the queue behind explained to Lin Xian in Cantonese: "Sister, this is gold-plated, not pure gold."

Lin Xian noticed that the old man who was doing the inspection had a look of disdain on his face, and he mocked the person next to him in Cantonese: "I don't know if he is stupid or not, so stupid."

Although she couldn't understand Cantonese very well, she could still see the contempt in other people's eyes.

Lin Xian's heart sank to the bottom at that moment.

How could it be fake?

Qiao Zijin's family is quite wealthy, so they wouldn't buy fake goods for her.

Lin Xian hurriedly opened the dialog box with Qiao Zijin and asked in a tactful tone. A red exclamation mark appeared as soon as the message was sent.

[The message you sent has been rejected by the other party. ]

Lin Xian grabbed the tie clip on the table and walked out of the store. She couldn't understand why Qiao Zijin, who took the initiative to show her kindness, would lie to her?
The night was dark and the streets were crowded with people.

People in Hong Kong were in a hurry, and no one noticed a girl squatting on the ground at the entrance of the alley at the corner of the street, staring blankly at the screen of her mobile phone.

The phone battery has 7% left.

Should she buy the nearest plane ticket back to Beijing, or stay here and find a part-time job until school starts?

The airfare is not cheap, but the prices in Hong Kong are not something she can afford at the moment.

Without time to hesitate, she made up her mind to stay and find a suitable part-time job as soon as possible to earn some living expenses.

As for where to stay tonight, she really hadn't thought about it.

Lin Xian looked up at the sky, and the bright light around her fell at that moment, abruptly separating her from the city.

Just as she stood up, Lin Xian received a call from a friend.

"Hey, Shiya, what's wrong?"

"Xianbao, did you arrive safely?"

Lin Xian keenly noticed the strangeness of Jian Shiya. Jian Shiya had the straightforward personality of a girl from Northeast China. She never dragged her words when speaking and never laid the groundwork.

After four years in college, she has long been accustomed to Jian Shiya's outspokenness.

However, when she heard this sentence today, she knew that she had something to say but didn't know how to start.

"Shiya, if you have something to say, just tell me. I have arrived at the port city safely."

"Is Chen Ji that kid with you now?"

Hearing Jian Shiya's inquiring tone coming from the receiver, Lin Xian instinctively felt that it was not a good thing.

She tried her best to adjust her tone, her voice a little muffled, "He's not here, I'm alone outside now."

"Is that brat busy dealing with those bad friends? He left you aside again. I'll teach him a lesson for you later!"

Jian Shiya relies on the fact that she is one year older than Lin Xian and calls herself the older sister whenever something happens.

Although Jian Shiya and Chen Ji had never even met each other, Lin Xian felt inexplicably relieved after hearing her words.

"I know. Sister Jian is amazing."

The two chatted about some random things before Jian Shiya finally got to the point, "I just got a piece of news today that your scholarship will be cancelled."

Lin Xian almost lost her balance and held onto the railing beside her. "How did you know that? Why did you cancel mine?"
