You're already divorced, why are you so anxious about him becoming a succubus?

"I never wanted to be single..."

"Yet I have a premonition that I'll marry late..."

"I'm waiting for the one soulmate in the world..."

The melody of "Late Marriage" is extremely slow, without any heart-wrenching high notes or dazzling vocal transitions, but every word and every breath contains intense and poignant emotions.

Lu Ci's voice seemed to imbue the song with some kind of fatal magic.

The song precisely dissects the deep-seated obsessions, regrets, and resentments in every adult's heart regarding relationships.

The guests below the stage listened in a daze; the once noisy bar hall was now so quiet that only the music from the speakers could be heard.

Someone took the lead and, in unison, took out their phone and turned on the flashlight.

A moment later, countless twinkling lights lit up the entire hall, and the guests held up their phones and began to sway gently and rhythmically to the soothing music.

Many sensitive girls had their eyes completely red, and some even covered their mouths and sobbed softly.

In an instant, Lu Ci's solo performance transformed this quiet bar into a mini music festival atmosphere.

……

In a corner not far from the stage.

The bar's account manager, Xiaowei, was intently staring at the three or four phone stands placed in front of him.

Xiaowei was very excited as she watched the number of online viewers in several live streams skyrocket.

She has been working in new media operations for several years, and this is definitely the first time in her career that she has seen such a natural influx of traffic without any publicity or promotion.

Taking advantage of the break in the song's interlude, Xiaowei astutely seized the opportunity and professionally guided the conversation into the microphone of the live stream:

Dear family members!

The handsome guy on stage with the divine voice is our exclusive resident singer at Twilight's Whisper! The account named "Lu Ci" in the upper left corner of your screen is his personal account.

Friends who like his looks and his singing, hurry up and use your lucky hands to follow him!

From now on, all of this guy's amazing daily life and singing videos will be released first on that account!

As Xiaowei enthusiastically promoted the product, various gift effects began to appear on the screen of the live stream.

The comments section popped up rapidly:

"Ahhh! He's so handsome! Is he a student at Jiang University?!"

"With this level of skill, you're still singing in bars? You should just become a professional singer and go on TV shows."

"Followed! Followed! Lu Ci, my husband, look at me!!"

……

on the stage.

Qin Meng sat quietly on a high stool, playing the guitar.

Her gaze was always involuntarily drawn to the singing beside her, and she frequently turned her head to look at Lu Ci's focused and affectionate profile.

Today, she unexpectedly learned some shocking news from her boss, Chen Feng.

This man, who exudes a refreshing youthful vibe, is actually twenty-nine years old!

Moreover, he had a failed four-year marriage and only recently left with nothing!

Before this, Qin Meng had always firmly believed that he was just a male college student from Jiang University who had not yet graduated.

Recalling their initial misunderstanding on the street, an unnatural blush appeared on Qin Meng's usually cool face.

She understands everything now.

That night, when Lu Ci suggested changing the location for tutoring, it wasn't some kind of dirty flirting at all.

If you calculate the time, the day after he asked for extra lessons was exactly the day the bar opened.

He's learning guitar, clearly preparing to earn money by singing in bars in the future.

As for that so-called chaotic scene she despised on the night the bar opened...

Chen Feng: "Hey! Teacher Qin, you've misunderstood. That pretty girl who was holding Lu Ci's arm is an old classmate from high school. She was just trying to help Lu Ci out of a difficult situation!"

This convincing explanation completely dispelled Qin Meng's disgust.

Looking at Lu Ci's profile shining under the spotlight, Qin Meng suddenly realized that she had developed a strong curiosity about this man who had experienced many hardships but was also very talented.

……

After the song "Late Marriage" was sung.

The applause in the hall was thunderous and lasted for a long time.

Lu Ci smiled gently at the crowd below and said into the microphone:

"Thank you all for your support. Is there anything you'd like to hear next? There's a QR code for requesting songs on the bottom right corner of each table. You can scan the code to request a song. We still have a long time tonight, so I'll try my best to fulfill everyone's requests."

Upon hearing this, the guests below the stage began searching for QR codes on the tables.

A moment later, a staff member ran up to the stage and placed a tablet computer connected to the song selection system on the stand in front of Lu Ci. The tablet displayed a real-time list of customers who had paid to select songs.

The base price for requesting a song is 99 yuan, but that's just the entry fee.

The song request page also features an exciting tipping bidding feature. Customers who like live performances or are eager to have their songs played first can tip the singers. The higher the tip amount, the higher the song will appear in the rankings.

In addition, this page even cleverly added a flower delivery order function.

This is a collaboration that Chen Feng negotiated with a nearby flower shop. As long as customers place an order in the system, the flower shop can deliver the flowers to the stage in a few minutes if the location is close, and they can also give the bar a rebate.

At this moment, Lu Ci casually turned his gaze to the song request page in front of him.

When he saw the song prominently displayed at the top of the list, he was visibly taken aback.

First song request: Mayday's "Suddenly Missing You"

The reason it was able to top the charts and surpass other song requests is because this customer added a tip amount after the song request:

Donation amount: 8888 yuan!

at the same time.

Behind the stage, on the huge LED screen, the social media profile picture of the person who gave the tip appeared prominently, with the words "NO.1" flashing brightly in a luxurious gold frame!

Holy crap!

Chen Feng, who had been closely monitoring the backend data, excitedly rushed out from backstage with a microphone, his raspy voice booming loudly in the lobby:

"Thank you so much to our VIP guest in booth number 5!! They generously requested 'Suddenly Missing You' and generously tipped us 8888 yuan! The boss is so generous! May the boss be rich!!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Even Lu Ci and Qin Meng, who were sitting on the stage, exchanged a surprised glance.

Spending nearly nine thousand yuan in this quiet bar just to request a song is incredibly extravagant.

Almost instinctively, the eyes of the hundreds of people in the room followed Chen Feng's gesture and turned to booth number 5 in the center of the hall.

It was a spacious, semi-enclosed booth, originally intended for small groups of eight to ten people.

But at this moment, that luxurious spot was empty.

Under the dim, ambiguous ambient lighting, only a solitary figure sat quietly in the center of the sofa.

When the surrounding guests curiously took a closer look at the woman, everyone couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

so beautiful!

She was wearing a form-fitting, deep-sea blue velvet slip dress.

Her exquisite and aloof makeup, coupled with her cold and noble aura, made her stand out as an outsider in the noisy bar.

Lu Ci was slightly taken aback when he saw the figure sitting in the booth.

Shen Man?
