The Goddess is a Little Pitiful, I Invested in Her! - Chapter 20

Chapter 20: This Guy Isn’t Too Bad After All…

Director Li, along with the chubby talent agent and a few others, went to look for Lian Qingxue. They arrived at the stairs of the small building and saw Xiao Yu alone, kicking the roots of the grass gloomily and muttering to herself.

“Favoring love over friendship!”

“They left me out!”

“They’re all bad people!”

As Director Li approached, she asked, “Xiao Yu, what are you doing?”

Upon seeing Director Li, Xiao Yu instantly put on a pitiful face, “Director! Qingxue is being deceived by that Qi guy! We three came out together, but they went off to have fun without me! I tell you, that Qi is not a good person!”

Director Li found this amusing. Lovers would naturally want to spend time alone. Why would they bring her along? But she felt a bit sorry for the girl who was left behind and looked so wronged.

Looking back at the chubby talent agent, Director Li asked, “Where are Qingxue and the others?”

Xiao Yu hesitated a bit, “They should be on the rooftop? Director, do you need something?”

“This uncle has some business with her, Xiao Yu, lead the way.”

Xiao Yu glanced at the chubby agent, nodded, and led them towards the rooftop.

…

On the rooftop, Qi Yun and Lian Qingxue were sitting side by side on the railing. Lian Qingxue was still in her ancient dance costume, her face still flushed from the dance.

“How was my dance?” Lian Qingxue asked nervously.

“Graceful as a startled swan, delicate as a wandering dragon!” Qi Yun responded without hesitation.

“No way it was that good! I want to hear your real thoughts!” Lian Qingxue said with a shy smile.

“Do you really want to hear the truth? It may not be as flattering.”

“Hmm!” The girl’s heart quietly lifted.

“What I was thinking was: Damn, she’s so beautiful, will she marry me, will she marry me!!”

“…What… what did you say!” Lian Qingxue turned her head away, not daring to look at Qi Yun.

“I couldn’t help it. I don’t have any class, and when I saw you dancing so beautifully, who had time to dress up their words?” Qi Yun said unabashedly.

After a moment, the girl couldn’t help but giggle.

After laughing for a while, Lian Qingxue noticed the guitar beside Qi Yun.

“What are you doing with a guitar?”

Qi Yun lifted the guitar in his hand, which he had borrowed from a child at the orphanage. The guitar was not fancy and looked a bit old, but it was clean, showing that the original owner cherished it. Qi Yun had managed to borrow it thanks to Lian Qingxue’s good reputation.

“Since you performed for me, I wanted to perform for you,” said Qi Yun with a smile.

“Really?” Lian Qingxue’s eyes sparkled.

“Why did you send Xiao Yu away then?”

When Xiao Yu saw that they were about to leave her behind, the look in her eyes was as if she was watching a cheating couple. It was heartbreaking.

Lian Qingxue couldn’t help but laugh now, and Qi Yun also wanted to smile, feeling that they had been somewhat inconsiderate.

“Because this song, I only want you to hear.”

Qi Yun placed the guitar on his lap and gently strummed the strings.

…

Xiao Yu and the others were almost at the rooftop.

A guitar tune rang out.

They all paused involuntarily.

Then they heard the young man’s singing voice.

“You accompany me into the cicada summer, beyond the city’s noise. The song is still wandering, your eyes are like pomegranate flowers.”

Xiao Yu’s heart stirred. Was Qi Yun singing?

On the balcony, the girl was leaning on her hand, looking dreamily into Qi Yun’s eyes.

“I really miss you, in every rainy season. What you chose to forget, is what I can’t let go of the most.”

Qi Yun’s singing seemed to have improved a lot due to the body enhancement capsule. Now when he sang, it sounded much better than before.

Xiao Yu and the others went up to the rooftop.

Under the moonlight, Qi Yun was playing the guitar and singing, with Lian Qingxue leaning on one side, looking at Qi Yun.

In their eyes and hearts, there was only each other.

It seemed that their world could no longer accommodate a third person.

This scene made them all hold their breath, not daring to interrupt.

Qi Yun’s voice rose slightly as he sang the chorus:

“How could I fall in love with her, and decide to go home with her, giving up all of my everything, it doesn’t matter.”

Qi Yun looked at Lian Qingxue’s delicate face and softly sang the last line.

“Paper is short, but love is long, the story of our youth can’t be fully told.

My story is still about you,

My story is still about you…”

The sound of the guitar fell, and the rooftop was silent.

Lian Qingxue heard Qi Yun say, “Lian Qingxue, will you go home with me?”

She couldn’t help but nod gently.

…

Xiao Yu watched from the side, pouted, and quietly said, “Actually, this guy is not bad…”
