Since they are reborn, they must be supported by the school beauties.

Did you write Chapter 106 yourself?

After Zhang Qishuo left, Chen Cheng stood by the roadside for a while, feeling dizzy, and then took a taxi back to school.

Su Zishan called to ask if he was going to the store that night. He told her the truth: he had just finished drinking with Zhang Qishuo, drinking half a jin of liquor, so he wouldn't be going to the store.

Hearing that he had drunk half a jin of baijiu, Su Zishan complained that he had drunk too much, but also told him to rest well.

Chen Cheng asked her, "How's business today?"

"Don't worry, it's great."

Su Zishan said, "It feels like there are even more people than last weekend, especially girls. There are about a hundred people who bought tickets to come in."

Chen Cheng felt relieved.

Free tickets, complimentary drinks, and lucky draws have already secured a large number of loyal female customers for the store, which will form the foundation for future profits.

He then asked, "Has Zhao Siyan secured the hostess position for this week?"

"It's all done."

Su Zishan said, "All eight girls are college students, even better than the previous batch."

"it is good."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Then I'll go back to my dorm and rest in peace."

Su Zishan instructed him, "Remember to drink plenty of water, and it's best to keep a bottle of purified water by your bedside."

"it is good."

Chen Cheng hung up the phone and took a taxi back to school.

He had intended to go back to his dorm to rest, but the alcohol in his system gave him the feeling that it was still early and he needed to find a second round.

Right now, I don't have a second chance to go to karaoke, and I don't have anyone to go with. Asking my roommate to come along seems pointless, and I don't know where to find a karaoke bar.

After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly thought of a good place to go.

He guessed that Liu Shiyu would definitely not be in the practice room tonight, since according to Liu Shiyu's usual habits, she would go to nightclubs to drink on weekend nights instead of staying in the practice room to practice.

The practice room has a piano and is very soundproof. Only Liu Shiyu uses it outside of class time, and since it's the weekend, there might not be anyone else in the building.

Since that's the case, why not go there and entertain yourself?

So instead of going into the school, he found a small supermarket outside the school, bought six cans of beer, and then went to the School of Journalism and Communication alone.

On Friday night, only a few classrooms in the entire college building were lit up. Chen Cheng went to 409, used the key Liu Shiyu gave him to open the first door, obediently put on shoe covers, and then pushed open the second soundproof door.

He went to the piano, opened a can of beer, drank it all in one gulp, and then decided to let loose.

As his fingers touched the piano keys, many of his favorite songs immediately came to mind, the first one being Mao Buyi's "Sorrow".

The lyrics of this song have a nice artistic conception, so whenever Chen Cheng is drinking alone and wants to listen to a song after drinking too much, this is always the first song that comes to mind.

Although his piano playing is only so-so, fortunately, his piano teacher in his previous life taught him some popular songs specifically, so he can easily play and sing a dozen or twenty songs now.

Singing under the influence of alcohol is a very enjoyable pastime. Chen Cheng sang "Sorrow" and immediately found the feeling of being a karaoke king. After drinking a few sips of alcohol, he sang Guo Ding's "The Tragic Beauty".

This song is also one of Chen Cheng's favorites. The song starts almost at zero frames and builds up layer by layer, which is very good at evoking emotions. When Chen Cheng drives alone on the elevated highway at night, this song is one of his dedicated background music tracks.

After singing "The Tragic Beauty," Chen Cheng was already sweating a little, but he felt particularly good about it.

Not satisfied with that, he opened a second can of beer and sang Jay Chou's "Secret" while playing the guitar.

While Chen Cheng was engrossed in his own amusement, Liu Shiyu sat at the bustling Wild Bar, feeling utterly bored.

I thought Chen Cheng would come to work at the store today, but I didn't see him even after eight o'clock.

Coming to Wild Drinks and chatting with Chen Cheng under a different identity had become a special pastime for her. Since Chen Cheng didn't come, she lost interest in continuing to sit there.

After saying goodbye to Annie, she hailed a taxi by herself.

It was still early, and since she had only drunk half a glass of strong liquor, she took a taxi back to Jiangda University to prepare for her interview next month in the music room.

She's been busy preparing for her re-examination lately, and she practices piano in the practice room until 10 p.m. almost every night, and spends the whole weekend in the practice room.

She removed her wig, false eyelashes, and colored contact lenses in the taxi, and also took off her makeup. When she got out of the car and paid the fare, she startled the driver.

Arriving at the fourth floor of the School of Journalism and Communication, she thought the teaching building would be deserted, but to her surprise, she could faintly hear piano music in the fourth-floor corridor.

This surprised her greatly. No one else would come to the music room except for herself, so why was someone playing the piano at this time?
Upon closer reflection, he suddenly remembered that he had given Chen Cheng a set of keys, and wondered to himself, could it be Chen Cheng?

When we arrived at door 409, the piano music became clearer and clearer, and we could even hear singing. However, the soundproofing of the two doors was quite good, so we couldn't hear the lyrics and melody clearly.

She remembered that Chen Cheng had mentioned trying to write songs, so she quickly and carefully opened the first door of room 409.

As soon as the door opened, Chen Cheng's singing became much clearer.

At that moment, Chen Cheng was singing Eason Chan's "Lonely Patient".

This song is the one Chen Cheng is most proficient in among all the pieces he can play.

Liu Shiyu missed the beginning, but caught Chen Cheng singing the second verse.

"I really admire myself; I can still be humorous."
When tears fall, cover them with a smile.
I'm afraid people will see through me, and I have many concerns.
If we don't talk about loneliness, we'll all be happy...

This particular section, with its unique melody, immediately amplified the song's sense of loneliness. Liu Shiyu listened, speechless. She had never heard the melody or lyrics of this song before, and her first thought was that it must be Chen Cheng's original composition.

Moreover, as someone with a professional music background, she could tell that this couldn't possibly be the beginning of the song, and realized that she must have missed a section.

Just as she was filled with shock, Chen Cheng suddenly increased the force of his touch on the keys and began singing the chorus of the song.

"Just because I don't sing love songs with heart-wrenching intensity doesn't mean I don't have moments of heartbreak."

"I never laid my wounds bare for the slaughter, and once they healed, no one knew about my inner frustrations."

"Like a lonely patient torn between their own emotions..."

"What's wrong with extroverted loners...?"

Liu Shiyu suddenly felt that even her breathing had become a little rapid.

The statement, "I don't sing love songs with all my might, but that doesn't mean I don't have moments of heartbreak," carries a sense of lofty transcendence for her.

It's not that this song can outperform other Chinese songs, but in her opinion, this one line of lyrics surpasses all those love songs that are strained, melodramatic, and overly sentimental.

The lyrics, the melody, and the sophisticated sense of loneliness conveyed by Chen Cheng's performance were truly stunning to her.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Cheng began the second loop of the verse.

She immediately made up for the regret of missing a paragraph at the beginning.

Chen Cheng began to sing with complete absorption:
The louder the laughter, the more cruel it is.
The room was filled with body heat, making the room even colder.
If the lights are off, the emptiness will be disturbing.
But I couldn't just shout "Wait a minute!"

Next came Chen Cheng's favorite part.

He increased the pressure of his touch on the keys once more, making his emotions even more intense, and sang with great feeling:

"You say you love me, but you keep saying it,"

"You said I shouldn't have stayed in the corner,"

"Planning an escape is wrong too,"

"They even plundered my fragile rights..."

This part of the song was as devastating to Liu Shiyu as a nuclear bomb.

Before she could even react, the brilliant chorus followed: "I don't sing love songs with a hoarse voice..."

Chen Cheng enjoyed the feeling of being alone, so he was completely immersed in it. Although his voice was not as good as that of a legend like Eason Chan, it was still considered above average among ordinary people.

In addition, after singing this song many times, I've managed to grasp its essence quite well.

Deep down, Liu Shiyu was deeply shocked. She couldn't understand how Chen Cheng, who was only eighteen years old, could write such a song.

At this point, Chen Cheng's song "Lonely Patient" was coming to an end.

In the original song, Eason Chan paused at the end and then sang softly. Chen Cheng did not copy this, but sang the chorus again, and then stopped singing at the line "Extroverted lonely patients need recognition." Finally, he played a few chord notes with his fingers, which served as the ending of the song.

After finishing the song, Chen Cheng opened another can of beer, gulped down a big mouthful, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Awesome!"

For a moment, while engrossed in playing the piano, he even thought he had returned to his homeland.

However, he didn't feel disappointed when he realized he was still in the music room.

Liu Shiyu was still completely absorbed in the song "Lonely Patient" when Chen Cheng finished playing it, and only then did she come back to her senses.

She didn't push the door open immediately, but wanted to hear what Chen Cheng would sing next. However, Chen Cheng had already been singing for more than half an hour and had had his fill. He finished his third can of beer and began to clean up the mess to leave.

Liu Shiyu waited and waited in the entryway, but when she didn't hear any more music or singing, she couldn't help but push open the door.

Inside the room, Chen Cheng was putting the aluminum can back into the plastic bag. A faint smell of beer filled the air. Fortunately, Chen Cheng was self-aware enough not to smoke in the music room.

Chen Cheng was packing his things when he suddenly heard the door open. He felt a surge of tension, turned around, and saw Liu Shiyu push the door open and come in.

He looked like a teenager who had been caught doing something wrong during puberty, and asked in a flustered manner, "When did Teacher Liu arrive?"

Liu Shiyu looked at him, hesitated for a moment with a complicated expression, and then said, "I've been here for a while. I listened to you singing at the door and didn't come in to disturb you."

At this point, she smiled and said, "The song is good, and the singing is good too."

Chen Cheng was startled and instinctively asked, "How many songs did you listen to?!"

"How many?"

Liu Shiyu raised an eyebrow in surprise. It seems there's more than just this one? I'm late!

So she asked curiously, "How many songs did you sing?"

Chen Cheng said somewhat cautiously, "I don't remember either. I had a few drinks tonight and just sang nonsense."

Liu Shiyu could tell that he was unwilling to tell the truth, so she said frankly, "I only heard the song you just sang."

As she spoke, she hummed the chorus of the song from memory: "I don't sing love songs with a hoarse voice..."

He hummed a line, shook his head, and sighed, "That's really good, quite profound. You wrote it yourself, didn't you?"
