"Mr. Su, I never said my cousin-in-law's Cantonese skills are excellent!"
Xiao Yiyi was afraid that Chen Xuan would lose face, and quickly retorted, "Zheng Yan, don't just make stuff up and stir things up on purpose!"
"Where am I stirring things up? You did say that, Lu Ming and the other two can all vouch for ."
Zheng Yan pointed to the three boys behind him.
"Yes! We can all vouch for it; Xiao Yiyi indeed said that." Lu Ming nodded imdiately, with an evil, mischievous grin.
Xiao Yiyi gritted her teeth in hatred; this was a conspiracy to fra her, deliberately trying to embarrass her cousin-in-law Chen Xuan.
"Cousin-in-law, I never said that, they have ulterior motives!" Xiao Yiyi hastily looked at Chen Xuan, afraid of causing misunderstanding.
Su Linlang had already seen through Zheng Yan's little sche but hadn't exposed it in person.
He also wanted to take the opportunity to make Chen Xuan look foolish in public and to keep Zhuang Yue and Gu Ruosi away from him.
"Chen Xuan, why don't you sing a song for everyone to liven things up; it's not too hard for you, is it?"
"A grown man, if he's all coy... hehe, that's hardly acceptable."
Su Linlang had a half-smiling, half-serious look on his face.
Chen Xuan just smiled, "Alright, since Mr. Su has specially invited to sing, I will bravely perform for everyone."
"Since you ntioned livening things up earlier, how about Mr. Su accompanying with a dance?"
"Sure!"
Many classmates imdiately erupted in cheers; they all wanted to see Su Linlang dance, not specifically supporting Chen Xuan.
Su Linlang's face instantly turned red, glaring at Chen Xuan fiercely, "Why are you making such a fuss! There's hardly enough space here for dancing!"
"Chen Xuan, are you going to sing or not? Don't try to pull any tricks!"
Zheng Yan crossed his arms, grinning slyly, "Chen Xuan, I just humbly said I was paving the way for you, you must show your high-level Cantonese skills."
"If you sing worse than , then, well, what should we call it? Paving the way with a broken rock, hahaha..."
Others followed along and laughed out loud; they were all onlookers who were there for the drama.
Chen Xuan chuckled coldly to himself; this guy was only asking for trouble.
"Zheng Yan, if I sing better than you, then what?" Chen Xuan countered with a smile, deliberately setting a trap for the opponent.
Zheng Yan sneered, "If you actually sing better than , I'll kneel down and call you master right here!"
"But if your Cantonese isn't better than mine, then you have to kneel and call master!"
"Alright, deal." Chen Xuan nodded and agreed directly.
"Mr. Su, and classmates, you are all mbers of the jury."
"No backing out if you lose!"
Zheng Yan was very hyper, continually shouting.
Su Linlang didn't favor Chen Xuan either, and at this mont, nodded with a cold smile, "I'll be the notary, lose willingly! No backing out!"
Having said that, she looked at Chen Xuan, "Get ready and start!"
Xiao Yiyi stared blankly at Chen Xuan, unsure of his Cantonese proficiency.
If he couldn't outdo Zheng Yan, it would be embarrassing in public!
Zhuang Yue and Gu Ruosi both looked at Chen Xuan with curious eyes.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, "Since Zheng Yan has put on such a pedestal, it wouldn't make sense not to showcase so real skills."
"Pick any of the top ten hardest Cantonese songs, and I'll sing one!"
Upon hearing this, everyone stared wide-eyed; such an arrogant tone?
Not only daring to sing in Cantonese but also challenging high difficulty!
"How about Zhou Huajian's 'A Difficult Sutra'? It's said that Zhou Huajian himself wouldn't dare sing it a second ti!"
"Yes, yes, just that one! I've mastered the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms but haven't learned this song!"
A few mischievous boys imdiately selected this song.
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, "I thought you might pick Lam Chicheung's 'Ten and Twelve Inches' or 'Digital Life', just this one?"
"No problem, a performance of 'A Difficult Sutra' for everyone, with on-the-spot reviews."
"He actually dares to sing it? What's going on?" Lu Ming had a shocked expression, becoming unsure about Chen Xuan.
Zheng Yan's expression kept shifting, quickly speaking up, "Chen Xuan, we agreed beforehand, it has to be the original key! If you can't keep up with the fast pace and deliberately lower the key, it doesn't count!"
Hehe!
This guy was still trying to cause trouble, setting traps for him.
Chen Xuan laughed dismissively, "Lowering the key isn't skill! It has to be the original key!"
"Let's play the tune and start singing right away!"
All at once, everyone was in high spirits; fifty plus pairs of eyes were all focused on Chen Xuan alone.
Would it be a resounding success or an embarrassing public display?
Everyone was eagerly awaiting!
