After finishing the milk tea, Asher Land was about to head back to the car, but Sophie Smith refused.
"Is that it? If campus romance is just having a cup of milk tea, that’s way too simple." Sophie complained discontentedly.
"Not done yet? Do you still want to go to bed?" Staring at his impossibly handso face, she almost threw her bag at him.
"No." She, unusually, answered him seriously.
"Then what else do you want?"
"Typically, we also have to eat a al together, and go sing karaoke at night. We’ve already had dinner, so let’s go sing karaoke."
Asher Land shook his head helplessly.
"Sophie, I must say, for a pregnant woman, you’re quite energetic this late. If only you had this stamina and energy in bed." He said with a hint of regret.
What was that supposed to an?
"Are you coming or not?" She looked up at him and asked.
"Yes."
He had already agreed to make up for her regrets, they might as well finish it up now and join her to the end.
"Okay." Sophie linked her arm with his, her smile spreading.
They walked into a karaoke room, and Sophie booked a couple’s private room.
Inside the booth, colorful lights danced around, setting just the right atmosphere.
She sat next to him and handed him a microphone.
What would Asher Land’s singing be like?
She had never heard him sing before, Sophie thought, it surely couldn’t be too good. A man like him, always so aloof in front of others, probably wouldn’t get into singing.
But the results surprised her.
His voice was incredibly pleasant, deep and magnetic. When he sang a love song, it was gentle, unlike any Asher Land she had ever seen.
She was montarily lost in his singing.
Asher Land walked over to the song machine, his long fingers sliding casually before finally selecting a song.
It was a duet between a man and a woman.
Sophie nervously picked up the microphone. He sang so well just now that she suddenly felt insecure about her own singing ability.
"If I go off-key later, don’t laugh at ..."
Asher Land nodded in cooperation.
The lodious tune slowly began, and he started the song.
"Once I thought, in your world, I wasn’t so insignificant. I bravely confessed love, bravely pursued, but later I realized, the love you wanted wasn’t sothing I could give."
Sophie was captivated by Asher Land’s voice all over again, though a bit upset—why not choose a love song and set the mood to sothing so lancholic?
The lyrics switched, and it was Sophie’s turn.
She cleared her throat and started singing along with the lody.
"I think you truly don’t understand, the love I want is simply being by your side, loving you, no matter the storms, with no way out."
In a gentle sing, Sophie sang, inwardly grateful she didn’t hit any wrong notes.
Their duet was seamless, reaching the song’s climax.
Sophie was just about to sing when she suddenly felt a wave of discomfort in her stomach. She quickly put down the microphone and dashed to the private booth’s restroom.
"Ugh..." A series of dry heaves ensued, leaving her feeling awful.
"Baby, why are you causing trouble at a ti like this?" She clutched her stomach, her expression rather helpless.
Asher Land followed her into the restroom, a couple of steps behind. Seeing her state, he understood the situation, a trace of concern on his face.
"Let’s go back." Seeing her discomfort, he had no mood to stay here either.
"Okay." Sophie nodded in agreent.
