Chapter 1817 - 1818: Night Stroll

As a woman, Xiao Xue asked herself sincerely, if a guy set up such a scene to confess to her, she felt she might accept it. If that guy were a bit more handsome, had better temperament, and more talent, then rolling in the bed together that night wouldn't be impossible.

Zhang Mengyao bit her lip, her expression unchanged, but her heart was incredibly sweet. This bastard is really one to love and hate!

Meng Yao, can I take a few photos?

At this moment, Xiao Xue moved forward, her expression expectant as she asked.

In such a beautiful and romantic picture, it would be a pity not to take some photos as mementos. Zhang Mengyao pursed her lips and smiled, saying: "No problem, go ahead!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xue immediately took out her phone and began to find the angle to take photos. When the other two roommates saw the scene, they too took out their phones and began to take photos. After they finished, Zhang Mengyao then stepped into the garden. At this time, the beautiful and melodious rhythm slowly started to play in the villa, spreading into the garden. Following the direction of the piano sound, one could see Lin Xian in the villa's living room, sitting in front of a grand piano, his hands dancing across the keys, releasing one note after another.

The garden, villa, piano, birthday party, these elements combined together, just the thought makes one feel...

Lin Xian slightly turned his head, gazed at Zhang Mengyao, and slowly began to sing softly: "Wandering the night with candles."

"Starry midnight resembles a close friend."

"Love you like old wine brewed from scars every knot leaves behind."

"Now the orioles fly, the grass grows, and the beloved is on the way."

"I know he travels through storms and sunny days, not appreciating the sunset."

"Traversing the sea of people, just to embrace you."

"Now the bright moon hangs in the air, the beloved hand throws starlight."

"I know he broke through the waves and crossed into the darkness."

"Sharing the empathetic yearning, offering salvation's warmth."

Seriously speaking, regardless of the mood or the lyrics and melody, this song isn't as good as the original.

But this song is very suitable for couples to sing, especially in this kind of scene and atmosphere. Plus, the lyrics and melody of the chorus are extremely romantic. "Now the orioles fly, the grass grows, and the beloved is on the way."

"Now the bright moon hangs in the air, and the beloved hand chooses starlight."

For girls like Zhang Mengyao and her friends, they have no resistance to it, directly hitting the depths of the heart. In a short time, Lin Xian's singing skills did not improve.

But in this kind of environment and atmosphere, singing skills simply do not matter. Moreover, when skill lacks, charisma compensates.

At this moment, he wore a suit, properly seated to play the piano, paired with his gentle and jade-like temperament, as if he were a sophisticated noble son.

In such a situation, as long as one is not completely tone-deaf, girls will imagine the sound as the most beautiful song.

Finally, as the last note dissipated into the air, Lin Xian slowly stood up, took a rose from the piano stand, and walked toward Zhang Mengyao.

Watching Lin Xian step by step approaching, Zhang Mengnao's heartbeat inexplicably sped up, even her breathing became tense.

"Meng Yao, happy birthday!"

Arriving in front of Zhang Mengyao, Lin Xian handed over the rose, with a slight smile.

Dazedly taking the rose, Zhang Mengjin took a deep breath, trying hard to control herself not to let the tears flow.

After being silent for a few seconds, she opened her mouth and asked: "What is the name of this song?" Lin Xian reached out his hand, intimately brushing her hair by her ear, chuckling softly: "Everything beautiful in the world is closely tied to you."

"Everything beautiful in the world is closely tied to you"

Zhang Mengyao couldn't help it anymore, she directly threw herself into Lin Xian's arms, hugging him tightly.

At this moment, the happiness in her heart was almost overflowing, tears couldn't be stopped and slid down her cheeks. Gulp!

Xiao Xue, not able to control herself, swallowed nervously, turning to glance at her two roommates.

Everyone exchanged a look from the other's eyes, seeing deep envy, trembling, and a sense of relief. Phew! Almost couldn't resist.

Which woman could handle this?

After a while, Zhang Mengyao slowly let go.

The shoulder of the suit was already soaked with tears, Lin Xian glanced at it, teasingly said: "Why are you drooling too!"

"Want to die!"

Zhang Mengyao was both embarrassed and angry, reached out and gave him a light smack. This bastard just ruined the atmosphere she'd brewed.

Beside them, Xiao Xue suddenly felt her stomach swell.

Oh no, too much love to digest!

The other two roommates, likewise, had faces full of resentment.

Being force-fed love, the feeling is not good.

Oh, I'm so jealous!

Lin Xian glanced at a few people and when he saw Su Zhiwei, he paused slightly then smiled and said: "Meng Yao, aren't you going to introduce us?"

"Oh oh!"

Zhang Mengyao came back to her senses, nodding her head.

Earlier she was so moved, she almost forgot!

"You know Xiao Xue, so no need to introduce her."

Zhang Mengyao pointed at her two roommates, smiling: "They're my roommates, Wei Xi and Jiang Qin."

Wei Xi and Jiang Qin looked very ordinary, their looks would barely score 70 points. The two of them smiled at Lin Xian, looking a bit nervous.

Lin Xian nodded with a smile to greet them.

Zhang Mengyao continued to introduce: "This is also someone you know, Su Zhiwei, my senior." Lin Xian certainly recognized her, but he was somewhat curious as to when their relationship got so close. It should be noted, apart from Xiao Xue and these three roommates, only Su Zhiwei was a friend invited to this birthday party.

Which clearly showed how close their relationship was.

Su Zhiwei looked at Lin Xian with her eyes filled with spiritual energy, her voice cool, her gaze assessing him. She didn't have many friends, Zhang Mengyao was one.

After all, excellent people will naturally attract each other, such as Su and Zhang Mengyao.

Regarding Zhang Mengyao's boyfriend, Su Zhiwei had a bit of curiosity.

As of now, she felt Lin Xian was quite good, but only somewhat good. After appraising him once, Lin Xian couldn't help but feel amazed, this girl not acting in historical dramas is such a waste. Her whole aura had a traditional charm.

After saying hello, Lin Xian called out: "Must be hungry, there's some snacks and BBQ here, though the BBQ is self-service."

Self-service BBQ?

Xiao Xue and the others heard this, their eyes lit up, finding it very interesting. A group headed to the BBQ area, looking at the exquisite snacks on the long table, Zhang Mengyao curiously asked: "Can we eat these snacks?"

"Of course you can!"

Lin Xian raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled.

"Okay then!"

Zhang Mengyao nodded in agreement, realizing her question was somewhat naive. She couldn't be blamed though, as these snacks were just too exquisite, looking more like props. Meanwhile, Xiao Xue, Jiang Qin, and another roommate already took out their phones, snapping away at the various snacks on the table. After over a dozen shots, they finally picked up snacks to taste. Zhang Meng took a piece of chocolate mousse, tasted it with a small spoon, and praised: "Tastes really nice!" Finished, she felt she'd probably gain ten pounds! "Xiao Xue said, mouth filled with chocolate, with an expression of happiness mixed with worry.

The party company provided snacks from Lady M Patisserie. Lady M comes from New York, known for high-end desserts. It's very popular abroad, though currently only has four branches domestically.

Luckily, Jinling had one branch too, after opening in June this year, the business quickly boomed.

Normally, if you want to buy snacks from this shop, you must order at least a week in advance. This party planning company seems to have a partnership with Lady M, allowing them to access these snacks last minute.

Regarding beverages, there were Lady Louis and Armand de Brignac series, along with some top fruit wines. After all, for 1.38 million, the quality had to be high.

Expensive, but there's a reason for the cost.

After having some desserts to ease their hunger, the women cheerfully began self-service BBQ. Xiao Xue and the others were inexperienced, only able to help around, instead Zhang Mengyao volunteered to be the head chef with her experience from Asan's BBQ.

Su Zhiwei remained quiet, unfamiliar with Xiao Xue and the other two, thus stood alone in a corner holding a glass of fruit wine, savoring the dessert.
