Reborn to prepare for the college entrance exam, you're letting me retire and make a comeback?

Lu Qian didn't expect that in less than a minute, he would once again become the focus of everyone's attention.

That's why the game of spinning a bottle is full of unknowns.

Because you never know if the person the bottle opening is pointing at the next second will be yourself.

However, Lu Qian remained quite calm when he saw the bottle opening pointing at him.

After all, he's not afraid to play this kind of game.

The private room fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a commotion.

"Wow! Lu Qian, it's you!" Zhang Qian clapped her hands and exclaimed.

Her gaze swept back and forth between Lu Qian and Chen Yufei, and she teased with a smile, "Sister Yufei just flicked your forehead, and the heat hasn't even worn off yet, and this bottle is already on you again. It seems you two have quite a connection. Shouldn't you become god-siblings?"

"?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yufei almost lost her composure, which she had been trying to maintain.

She and Lu Qian had only known each other for a short time, so how could she suddenly feel like they were siblings?

But knowing the other person was joking, she chuckled and said, "Actually, it's not impossible."

"Sis?!" Chen Yufei exclaimed in alarm. "Lu Qian is my best brother! How could you possibly recognize him as your godbrother?!"

His mind was a complete mess; something just felt off.

He felt uneasy because he thought his sister's interaction with Lu Qian tonight was a bit too intimate.

Damn it, could Lu Qian really have feelings for my sister?

I treat you like a brother, and you're trying to date my sister?

Seeing her younger brother's anxious expression, Chen Yufei found it somewhat amusing and laughed, "Wouldn't that be even better? True brothers become true brothers, making our relationship even closer!"

"???"

Chen Yufei was rendered speechless by his sister's logic. He opened his mouth, his face turning red as he stammered, "I...no...this..."

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Qian laughed so hard she almost fell over.

Even Lu Qian, who hadn't said much, couldn't help but laugh.

Of course, he wouldn't acknowledge anyone as his older sister, since that would be similar to how he used to acknowledge pretty girls as his god-sisters when he was in college.

If you're going to acknowledge someone as your father, it should be in a way that makes the older woman call you "Dad" at certain times; that's what makes it interesting.

"You know what, I think it's a good idea!"

At this moment, Chen Jianye, who was watching from the side, chuckled and joked, "Yufei has another younger brother, Yufei has another brother, and Xiao Lu, why don't you recognize your uncle as your godfather? Wouldn't that be great?"

He was simply enjoying the spectacle and found the banter between the young people quite amusing, and he also genuinely had taken a liking to Lu Qian.

However, Lu Qian just smiled and didn't say anything.

You can't just randomly adopt a godfather.

Years later, this title will be a matter of male dignity.

Shen Xinyi was already sulking, and seeing Chen Yufei and Lu Qian being teased by the siblings made her feel even worse.

"Alright, alright, stop making a scene."

She said to Lu Qian, "Lu Qian, since the bottle has landed on you, you can start now."

"So, are you going to choose truth or dare?"

Her beautiful big eyes were fixed on Lu Qian, with a hint of urging.

Upon hearing this question, Lu Qian was momentarily at a loss.

His experience as a reborn individual was interrupted by a ten-year gap, and many details from his high school years had long since become blurred.

If asked questions like "When was the first time you fell in love?" or "What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done?", he'll find it hard to make his story sound natural and will easily give himself away.

Therefore, truthful answers should be ruled out first.

"As for the grand adventure, that's a bit troublesome."

He also realized that Chen Yufei and Shen Xinyi were competing with him, and if it were a dare, they might make some strange requests, which could make the situation difficult to control.

In comparison, choosing to go on stage and sing is actually the safest option.

"If I sing well, I can show off a bit; if I sing just okay, it doesn't matter much. After all, it's all about participation..." Lu Qian thought to himself.

Having made up his mind, he met Shen Xinyi's gaze and smiled slightly: "How about I go up and sing a song to liven things up for everyone?"

"Singing?" The group of people were taken aback.

Zhang Qian blinked curiously: "Lu Qian, you can sing?"

"Yeah, I've never heard you sing before?" Chen Yufei scratched his head, looking puzzled.

Chen Yufei also cast an inquiring glance.

Shen Xinyi frowned slightly. She had never heard of Lu Qian singing before, let alone performing on his own initiative in this kind of situation.

"Is he any good? I hope he doesn't embarrass himself..." She felt inexplicably nervous for him.

If Lu Qian knew what the girl was thinking right now, he would be so angry he'd jump up and down, wanting to spar with this illiterate girl and let her know how powerful he was.

"I know a little, but not much."

He didn't explain anything, just said, "Just singing whatever comes to mind."

Then he stood up and glanced at the small stage area in the center of the box, where he saw a dusty folk guitar in the corner.

He said with a smile, "I guess there won't be any audio for this song, so I'll just use this guitar to accompany it."

I walked straight over, picked up the guitar, and tested the pitch.

The strings are a bit loose, but they're still usable.

He sat down on a high stool in the center of the stage, holding his guitar, and began adjusting the microphone height.

How could he be so sure there was no dubbing in the karaoke room?

Hearing Lu Qian's words, Chen Yufei frowned, seemingly understanding something: "He wouldn't be going to sing a song he wrote himself, would he?!"

A karaoke bar of this caliber must have bought the copyrights to a lot of songs, and Lu Qian confidently said that there was no accompaniment for the song he wanted to sing in the karaoke bar without even looking at the song library, which very likely means that he composed the song himself.

After all, original songs definitely don't have corresponding accompaniment in karaoke.

Furthermore, the fact that he can do the guitar solo shows that he is very familiar with the song's soundtrack...

That's pretty much it.

"Wow! An original song?!" Zhang Qian and Chen Yufei exclaimed at the same time, their eyes widening in surprise.

For a high school student to write a song is considered a very high-level skill!

"His songs... probably aren't too bad, right?"

Shen Xinyi's heart jumped, fearing that Lu Qian would sing a cheesy pop song and make a fool of himself.

In fact, many people in the audience were still taking a wait-and-see approach to Lu Qian's songwriting project.

In their view, songwriting is not as simple as writing an essay. To create a good song, one needs musicality and experience, which is extremely difficult...

What kind of original songs can a high school student with limited life experience write?

Many people were already feeling uneasy, worried that Lu Qian would be embarrassed later.

Lu Qian ignored the whispers and probing gazes from the audience.

He lowered his head, his fingers gently brushing across the strings, producing a few simple notes.

"Shen Xinyi is right. When it comes to singing, you can only bring out the feeling when you're truly emotionally invested..."

Lu Qian thought to himself, "Since I'm going to sing anyway, I might as well choose a song that's somewhat representative..."

He needs a song that can express his current state of mind.

Lu Qian recalled that he had been away from his hometown for many years in his previous life, and his soul had wandered for a long time. Everything had changed, and he had long forgotten when he had set off.

And now he has been reborn and returned to this familiar starting point, where he sees those he once missed...

A clear mind, a flash of inspiration.

He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the private room, looking towards a distant place.

With a gentle pluck of the strings, music flows from the fingertips.

"Leaving home for thousands of miles, I must strive to be the best I can be..."

"What surges even more than my tears is my courage..."

……

……

Outside the private room.

Su Yuwei, Zhao Mingzhe, and another woman named Wang Lili had just stepped out of the elevator and were heading towards their reserved private room.

"This floor is the VIP area."

Li Ming said to Su Yuwei with a boastful tone, "Su, look, those large private rooms have the best views and the most advanced equipment. I guarantee that the owner of that Maybach we just saw is most likely in one of these rooms."

He spoke with a smug tone, as if showing off his erudition.

Look at my strength, how could I not take you down?

That's how awesome it is!

"Wow!" The two girls exclaimed in unison, their eyes filled with longing and admiration.

Three parts are genuine amazement, seven parts are just for show for the rich kids.

After all, the rich kids are responsible for the consumption, so we should also give them enough emotional value.

Wang Lili excitedly shook her best friend's arm: "Weiwei, we can't believe we're actually eating in the same place as people like them! Just thinking about it is so exciting!"

"Yes, but such people are too far removed from us. We can only dream about them," Su Yuwei sighed.

She said that, but in her heart she was thinking that she must get into this circle in the future.

"How could that be!"

Wang Lili said to her best friend, "Weiwei, you're so pretty, you'll definitely find a rich second-generation heir and live that kind of life. We girls should have ambition!"

"Haha, then I'll take your kind words." Su Yuwei replied with a smile.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and people are grouped by their kind of birds; a girl will have a certain type of best friend.

In fact, Wang Lili is even more materialistic than Su Yuwei. She often discusses very gold-digging topics with Su Yuwei in private.

Su Yuwei became such a jerk largely due to the influence of her best friend.

Listening to their conversation now, it's clear that something is already brewing.

Most girls like them are like this: they are like a copper lock, and after being opened a few times by a golden key, they get a little gold dust on them and start to think they are a golden lock.

In this era, countless cases have already proven that it is virtually impossible to achieve upward social mobility through physical means.

Rich people aren't stupid, or rather, the "stupid" people they're interested in aren't rich at all.

Just as the two were about to continue their previous conversation, a faint singing voice drifted from a nearby private room.

"Leaving home for thousands of miles, I must strive to be the best I can be..."

"What surges even more than my tears is my courage..."

The three of them stopped in their tracks.

"what?"

Upon hearing the song, Zhao Mingzhe frowned and listened intently. "The melody of this song is quite unique. I've never heard it before. Could it be a new song?"

Su Yuwei was also drawn in by the singing.

The sense of resilience in the lyrics inexplicably touched her heart.

"That voice... why does it sound a bit like Lu Qian's?" Su Yuwei's heart skipped a beat.

But the next second, she shook her head with a self-deprecating smile.

She must be possessed. How could someone like Lu Qian possibly appear in such a top-tier VIP room, and how could he possibly sing such a profound song?

She dismissed the absurd thought, smiled at Zhao Mingzhe and the others, and said, "This is probably an internal song for wealthy people's own circle, right? We don't have access to their circle, so naturally we haven't heard of it."

"Yes, yes, Yuwei is right!" Wang Lili immediately chimed in. "That's definitely true. We don't understand the world of the rich!"

She thought so too, because only in this way could she explain why she had never heard such a beautiful song before.

A materialistic girl like her naturally has a filter on that circle, and she can win herself over in no time.

But if one day you really end up on someone else's plate, then you'll have to behave yourself.
