Chapter 199: Chapter 199

The drunkard fell on his face, and the alcohol sobered him up. He was just causing trouble under the influence of alcohol, but now he was kicked to the ground, filled with anger and fury.

"You punk, just you wait!" The drunkard got up, cursing as he walked away. Lin Fan’s kick was too powerful, almost making him doubt his life. He didn’t dare to mess with Lin Fan alone.

Lin Fan didn’t take him seriously at all. He was just a drunken, sleazy uncle, a type not uncommon to Lin Fan. If he hadn’t encountered this situation, fine, but seeing the girl being harassed, Lin Fan naturally lent a helping hand.

The girl was very grateful and walked up to Lin Fan: "Thank you, big brother."

Lin Fan smiled slightly: "Just a small favor, no need to thank me. Go ahead and sing."

The girl happily said, "Okay."

Then, the girl and Liu Mengjie sang a song together.

Lin Fan watched from the side.

It was his first time hearing Liu Mengjie sing. As the head of a music academy, Liu Mengjie lived up to her title—her singing was excellent, her voice and skills on par with first-rate singers, completely outshining the busking girl.

As soon as Liu Mengjie started singing, she captivated the entire audience, even the girl was surprised—was this a professional singer?

When the song ended, applause thundered down.

The girl, full of admiration, said, "Sister, your singing is amazing. May I ask, are you a singer?"

She recognized many celebrities, but Liu Mengjie wasn’t one of them. However, her singing skills were superior to many of them.

Liu Mengjie laughed: "No, I’m just an ordinary person. Girl, can I make a request?"

The girl said, "Sure, what is it?"

Liu Mengjie said, "I’d like to invite my friend to sing a duet with me."

The girl laughed: "Of course, big brother, come over quickly."

Seeing that Liu Mengjie had named him, Lin Fan could only step up and take the microphone.

The two of them immediately sang a sweet love song together.

Liu Mengjie started first, and that wasn’t much since the audience had already heard her.

But when Lin Fan began singing, the entire venue fell silent. Everyone was instantly drawn to Lin Fan’s magnetic voice.

Inside everyone was a roar.

"Oh my God, isn’t this the voice of heaven!"

"Is this an Immortal singing?"

"How can a voice be so beautiful? I’m shocked!"

The busking girl was already stunned. She thought Liu Mengjie was impressive, but Lin Fan was even more so. She even felt Lin Fan sounded better than the Song God.

The busking girl searched hard but couldn’t find any singer that matched Lin Fan, although he seemed somewhat familiar, she couldn’t recall him at the moment.

Perhaps true masters really are hidden among the people. In such an ordinary square, they unexpectedly encountered an Immortal.

Meanwhile, a large number of passersby were attracted over from all directions, all drawn by Lin Fan’s heavenly singing. Lin Fan’s voice seemed to have a certain magic, which made them come over involuntarily.

Soon, the surroundings were packed with people, tightly crowded but everyone was very conscientiously quiet, listening to the song.

Because everyone was enchanted by Lin Fan’s singing.

Singing alongside Lin Fan, Liu Mengjie’s heart was sweet. She invited Lin Fan to sing together to satisfy a personal desire—she wanted to hear Lin Fan sing. Lin Fan did not let her down; it was so good, so good it brought tears.

As the proud head of a music academy, she couldn’t help but look at Lin Fan with adoration.

When the song ended, there was a thunderous round of applause and cheers all around.

Someone shouted, and immediately it incited a chorus from everyone.

For the crowd, this was like a free world-class concert. How could it not be astonishing?

"Oh my, who are you two?" The busking girl knelt before Lin Fan, utterly convinced.

Liu Mengjie didn’t want to expose her identity, saying, "No, no, we’re just ordinary people. Girl, here’s your microphone back; we should be going."

They came over mainly to help the girl out of trouble; getting to sing a duet with Lin Fan was already satisfying for her.

With so many people around, it took a while for the two to squeeze out of the crowd. Lin Fan worried about Liu Mengjie being pushed away, so he naturally held her hand.

Liu Mengjie’s cheeks flushed, yet she didn’t pull away, feeling sweet inside.

Once they were outside the crowd, Lin Fan let go of Liu Mengjie’s hand.

"Little Fan, thank you for accompanying me tonight. I haven’t been on a date with a guy in a long time, and it was so much fun." Liu Mengjie smiled.

Lin Fan curiously asked, "With Sister Mengjie being so beautiful, there must be a lot of people pursuing you, right?"

Liu Mengjie replied, "Yes, but I don’t like any of them."

Lin Fan laughed, "Then what kind of guy does Sister Mengjie like?"

Liu Mengjie stole a glance at Lin Fan, her cheeks reddening, really wanting to say "someone like you," but too shy to say it out loud. She thought it was best for women to be a bit more reserved and subtle.

"Guess." Liu Mengjie teased, quickly walking ahead.

"How am I supposed to guess?" Lin Fan asked in confusion, following after her.

A little flower-selling girl came up with a basket of flowers, running in front of Lin Fan, cheerfully saying, "Brother, your girlfriend is really pretty. Why not buy a flower for her?"

Lin Fan clarified, "Um, sorry little sister, she’s not my girlfriend."

The little girl said incredulously, "I don’t believe it. Brother, you’re so handsome, and sister is so pretty. You must be a couple!"

Lin Fan chuckled, "Such a sweet talker you are, little girl. Okay, I’ll buy a flower for this lady then."

The little girl was very happy, took out a rose: "One rose represents true devotion, just 9.9 yuan."

The little girl was quite experienced. Lin Fan felt as if he’d been tricked by a little girl, but didn’t mind and paid her.

"Thank you, big brother!" The little girl happily walked away.

"Sister Mengjie, this is for you." Lin Fan handed the rose to Liu Mengjie.

Liu Mengjie bit her lip, shyly saying, "I’m not even your girlfriend. Why are you giving me a rose?"

Lin Fan scratched his head: "Uh... should I just throw it away then?"

Liu Mengjie quickly took the rose: "No, can’t waste it if you bought it. I’ll graciously accept it then."

Suddenly, a man with slicked-back hair, dressed in fine clothes, came over holding a large bunch of roses and knelt on one knee in front of Liu Mengjie.

"Mengjie, I didn’t expect to meet you here. I just stopped that little girl and bought all the roses, 19 in total, for you. Now will you agree to be my girlfriend?" The man said expectantly.

Seeing the man, Liu Mengjie exclaimed: "Sun Liang, it’s you!"

The man said, "Yes, it is. You rejected my pursuit three years ago, but I’m back now, back with wealth. Meeting you here proves we’re truly destined."

Liu Mengjie was puzzled: "What do you mean, coming back with wealth?"

Sun Liang said, "Three years ago, after you refused me, I couldn’t figure it out for a long time. I’m handsome and have a good character; why would you refuse me?"

Nearby, Lin Fan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

At best, Sun Liang was not ugly, quite ordinary. Who gave him the confidence to think he was handsome?

Sun Liang glanced at Lin Fan but didn’t bother with him, continuing, "I thought long and hard and came up with only one reason—I was poor! So over these three years, I worked silently and finally outlived my dad. I’ve inherited his millions, now I’m finally rich. Surely you have no reason to refuse me now."

Lin Fan held back laughter, finding it challenging, as Sun Liang was undoubtedly amusing.

But Liu Mengjie was sweating: "Sun Liang, you’ve completely misunderstood. I’m not someone who despises the poor and loves the rich. I rejected you not because I thought you were poor, but because I felt we weren’t suitable."

Sun Liang was anxious: "In what way aren’t we suitable?"

Liu Mengjie said, "It’s hard to explain, but I just don’t like you. You should move on and find a girl worthy of your love."

Sun Liang said, "I only love you. Please say yes, or I’ll stay on my knees."

Liu Mengjie felt a bit embarrassed; Sun Liang was as persistent as ever—troublesome indeed.

Lin Fan couldn’t stand it: "Buddy, didn’t you see that Mengjie already accepted my rose? She’s my girlfriend now, give it a rest!"

Both Liu Mengjie and Sun Liang looked at Lin Fan simultaneously, one with joy, the other with surprise.
