Chapter 283: It Was Indeed an Illusion

Translator: Zayn_

“Uncle Jiang, you can do it!”

Under the encouragement of the little girl Yinyin, Jiang Xu Yan sang several songs in a row.

And they were all cheerful songs.

Therefore, Jiang Xuyan was tired after a while.

Tang Zinian took over after him.

Tang Zinian’s singing was not as good as Jiang Xuyan’s, but he was very good at stirring up the atmosphere.

It could be seen that most of the villagers liked such a lively young man.

After Tang Zinian finished singing, Gu Xingchen, the host, appeared again.

“Qingyou must be tired after playing the piano for so long.”

“Before Xiao Yu goes on stage, do you want to sing a song with me?”

Jiang Xuyan stood up.

“Although I’m not as good as you, 1 can still play the piano as an accompaniment. I’ll take over from you.”

Song Qingyou agreed. “What do you want to sing, Teacher Gu?”

Gu Xingchen thought for a moment and said, “I’ll say this first. My singing is average. Please don’t mind me.”

“As for what to sing, it’s up to you, Qingyou.”

Song Qingyou wasn’t very interested in singing and rarely listened to songs. After thinking for a while, she asked, “Paper Boat? Can Teacher Gu sing?”

“Sure.”

This song was the ending theme song of a period drama that Gu Xingchen had cameo’d in. Song Qingyou was sure that the other party had heard it before, so she chose this song.

Gu Xingchen’s voice was deep and gentle, while Song Qingyou’s voice was clean and ethereal. The two of them were intertwined. In addition, the two of them were actors, so they got into character very quickly. Their emotions were in sync with the mood of the song.

Even if she wasn’t professional enough in some aspects, she was still able to beat most of the idol singers nowadays.

Jiang Zhihan sat in his chair, his eyes were filled with Song Qingyou, and he couldn’t help wagging his tail.

After the song ended, Gu Xingchen asked sincerely, “Qingyou sings so well. Why didn’t you become a singer when you first debuted? Why did you become an actress instead?”

“I prefer acting.” Song Qingyou replied.

In fact, the company had only signed her because of her looks.

After finding out that she had never studied singing before, they immediately stuffed her into the production team to film.

Of course, based on Song Qingyou’s current state, she really liked acting more.

“That’s a pity.” Gu Xingchen joked, “The music industry has lost a Heavenly Queen.”

“But it doesn’t matter. There will be another Best Actress in the film and television industry.”

Song Qingyou smiled and didn’t comment.

Gu Xingchen did not expect her to respond and continued, “Next, let’s welcome the popular singer, Yu Muhuai.”

“Xiao Yu, what song are you going to sing?”

“Just a reminder, since Qingyou is holding the microphone now, if you want to sing a duet, you have to seize the opportunity.”

Gu Xingchen stuffed the microphone into Yu Muhuai’s hands.

Before Song Qingyou could open her mouth, the latter leaned closer and whispered something into her ear.

After some communication, the program team prepared the lyrics and Jiang Xuyan made an OK gesture.

After the prelude, Yu Muhuai picked up the microphone and sang, “Next year at this time, at this place.”

“Remember to bring roses, tie a tie, and remember to remember.”

When it came to the chorus, the two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding.

“I’ll give you red roses.”

” You know I love to cry.”

Yu Muhuai sang, “Don’t use your tears to face me!”

Their voices intertwined, from different lyrics to the chorus:

“I’m willing to follow you on this road of love.”

“You are the most precious-”

Gu Xingchen was sitting next to Jiang Zhihan. When he saw the two of them looking at each other, he couldn’t help but sigh, “These two people look really compatible, don’t you think so? Kitty?”

As he spoke, he wanted to poke the cat that ignored him.

Jiang Zhihan, who was already annoyed, couldn’t help but swipe his paw at him.

“Hiss-”

Gu Xingchen gasped.

Jiang Zhihan was stunned. He didn’t seem to have touched anything.

Just as he was wondering if it was an illusion, Gu Xingchen shook his hand and clicked his tongue.

“Fortunately, 1 reacted quickly. Otherwise, I would have been scratched by you.”

“I told you a dog is better than a cat-”

Jiang Zhihan narrowed his eyes and turned to Haha, who was sitting next to Jiang Xuyan, “Meow-”

“Silly dog”

“Woof!”

Jiang Haha ignored the collar on his neck and rushed towards Jiang Zhihan.

The cat nimbly jumped from one chair back to another.

Jiang Haha raised his front legs and wanted to pounce on the cat, but pounced on Gu Xingchen instead.

In the past two days, Jiang Zhihan had already experimented several times.

As long as he shouted ‘stupid dog’, Jiang Haha would definitely be ‘summoned’ over.

Since Gu Xingchen had asked Song Qingyou and Yu Muhuai to sing a duet, Gu Xingchen was the most suitable person to make trouble for.

Thus, before the two people standing in the middle could finish singing, everyone saw the husky fail to catch up with the cat and almost pounce on Gu Xingchen.

Gu Xingchen grabbed his two paws and stood up.

His chair fell to the ground.

The music stopped abruptly.

“Woof woof woof!”

Jiang Haha jumped twice, trying to struggle.

“Don’t move!”

Gu Xingchen did not let go and turned around to look for the cat.

At this moment, Jiang Zhihan was already sitting on a large stack of plastic stools.

The man and cat met each other’s eyes.

The cat looked down at Gu Xingchen.

In the latter’s eyes, this gaze was full of humanity, like a provocation.

Was it because he said that cats were inferior to dogs that this cat deliberately attracted Jiang Haha?

Gu Xingchen instantly felt a chill run down his spine.

“What happened?” Song Qingyou walked over. “Why is Teacher Gu grabbing Haha’s paw?”

“I know!” Yinyin raised her hand. “Uncle Gu wants to dance with Haha!”

“Pfft-”

Jiang Xuyan laughed out loud. His hand shook and directly hit the piano keys, making a loud sound.

Gu Xingchen could not help but laugh. In the next second, he seemed to realize that something was wrong and hurriedly let go of the dog paws.

However, Doggy Gu saw this scene.

The golden retriever groaned in grievance.

Yinyin said anxiously, “Uncle Gu, that big dog is not happy. It must want to dance with you too. Hurry up and dance with it!”

Gu Xingchen was speechless.

This time, all the villagers present laughed along.

“What happened?” Song Qingyou asked again.

“I think your cat must have become a spirit.”

Song Qingyou’s heart skipped a beat, and she thought of some of her usual guesses. She couldn’t help but slow down her tone.

“What do you mean?”

“Just now-”

Gu Xingchen told her what had happened just now.

“I see.” Song Qingyou stifled a laugh.

“Actually, in the past few days, as long as it squeaks, Haha will run over.” Jiang Xuyan wasn’t surprised. “Maybe Zhizhi called out coincidentally just now and called Haha over.”

Gu Xingchen quickly accepted this explanation.

As for Zhizhi’s gaze, it should be… Was it just an illusion?

He looked up and saw Song Qingyou reach out her hand. The cat leaned its head over, as if it was acting cute.

Therefore, it was indeed an illusion to be human-like..
