My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 1063

Chapter 1063 Out Of His League

Rong Rong's guitar skills were close to professional level, and her singing voice was also very pleasant to the ear.

Watching the charming girl cradling a guitar and singing under the moonlight, Lu Tiance felt a sense of dreamlike enchantment.

That was a life experience he had never had before.

Growing up in a family where education was extremely strict, every stage of his learning and life was meticulously planned.

He was like a young sapling. The environment in which he grew and what he needed to become in the future were all part of the plan.

He possessed resources many envied, yet he didn't have much freedom to choose.

He was designed and crafted like a product, continuously refined until he became the influential Lu Tiance everyone knew.

Indeed, it was good, but it lacked many of the experiences and joys life had to offer.

For instance, he had never experienced the scene before him.

The performances he had seen and heard were mostly formal ones, held during festivals or celebratory banquets.

Occasionally, he would travel abroad for exchanges and even get invited to world-class concerts.

However, none of those performances could compare to the simple guitar playing and singing of the young girl in front of him.

Lu Tiance was actually left somewhat dumbfounded by what he heard. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

The song also attracted others in the camp. Some quietly poked their heads out to listen to Rong Rong's performance.

Such a relaxed atmosphere was rare there. A beautiful young girl played and sang to herself on a frosty, cold, moonlit night.

Once the song ended, Rong Rong looked at Lu Tiance and asked, “Tiance, what do you think?”

Lu Tiance was still in a daze.

“Tiance?” Rong Rong called out again.

“Oh! That was pretty good.” Finally, he came back to his senses.

“You didn't fall asleep, did you? You didn't hear a word I sang, did you?” Rong Rong said, sounding annoyed.

“I heard it. I heard it! You sound wonderful,” Lu Tiance quickly said.

And then, belatedly, they applauded.

Rong Rong burst into laughter. Suddenly, she found Lu Tiance adorable. Despite being a tough man, he sometimes gives off a charmingly goofy vibe.

Handing the guitar to Lu Tiance, she said, “Tiance, could you play a song for me?”

Lu Tiance quickly waved his hands. “I can't. I can't!”

He actually could.

During his middle school years, he was extremely fond of playing the guitar, even forming a band with his classmates.

Later, the principal reported to his father, and the band was quickly forced to disband.

Hence, they hid away to practice but were quickly discovered again.

Then, the few classmates who formed a band with him automatically transferred schools, and no one knew where they went.

Lu Tiance's father's belief was that indulging in material possessions would inevitably lead to a loss of ambition.

Lu Tiance's future needed to have higher aspirations, not just to be a guitarist.

Ever since then, Lu Tiance never touched the guitar again.

If he were to play the guitar, he would be reminded of those friends who were forced to transfer schools.

His birth was destined to be unlike others. He had a life path that was meticulously planned out for him. Any action that did not align with that path would be strictly forbidden.

“So, what song do you like? I'll play one for you,” said Rong Rong.

“That's great!”

The response didn't come from Lu Tiance, but rather from someone else hiding in the shadows, eavesdropping.

Because Rong Rong played and sang so beautifully, they were completely captivated by her performance.

Upon hearing Rong Rong requesting another song, they couldn't help but worry that Lu Tiance would refuse.

Lu Tiance turned his head and was surprised to see so many people eavesdropping.

He commanded in a low voice, “Everyone, come out!”

Those lurking in the shadows had no choice but to brace themselves and step out into the light.

Then they automatically lined up, standing neatly in a row, ready to be reprimanded.

Seeing them acting so formally, Rong Rong was somewhat unsure of what to do. What's the big issue here? Is it not just about listening to the guitar and singing? What's the big deal about it? Do they need to act like this?

“Hey, gentlemen, no need to be so serious. I'm honored that you're willing to listen to my singing. Please, don't make me feel awkward,” Rong Rong said with a laugh.

“Lighten up a bit!” Lu Tiance said.

Yet, those few people still didn't move, unsure of how to relax.

Their demands were always strict, with standards set for both standing and sitting. One couldn't stand casually at will nor sit arbitrarily.

“Gentlemen, what would you like to hear next?” Rong Rong asked with a smile.

“Anything goes!” everyone answered in unison.

Lu Tiance waved his hand, signaling them to sit down.

Then, just like Lu Tiance, they sat neatly cross-legged in front of Rong Rong, like a series of sculptures.

Rong Rong had never seen anything like this before, and she found it quite amusing.

However, she wasn't stage-frightened. If she could perform in a bar, she certainly wouldn't be intimidated by those few people.

And so, quite naturally, she played and sang another song, earning a round of hearty applause.

“All right. Everyone, go back,” Lu Tiance said in a cold voice.

Those few people looked reluctant, but they still got up and returned to the camp.

“You should head back and get some rest too,” Lu Tiance said to Rong Rong.

“Can we stay a bit longer?” Rong Rong wasn't ready to go back yet.

“You're tired. You can go back and rest now,” Lu Tiance insisted.

“All right. Where am I supposed to sleep?” Rong Rong stood up.

Her leg had gone numb, and she almost tripped and fell.

Lu Tiance reached out to steady her, a faint fragrance wafting over him. A slight stir arose in Lu Tiance's heart.

“I'm sorry, but my leg has gone numb,” Rong Rong said, her face flushed.

“Let me help you inside.”

“But I can't move at all. I just can't,” said Rong Rong.

Lu Tiance wore a troubled expression. “What should we do, then?”

“Carry me on your back,” Rong Rong said without hesitation.

“Umm...”

“Remember when I fell ill while we were abroad? It was you who carried me to see the doctor. What era are we living in? Are you still going to say that men and women should not have close contact?” Rong Rong said with a laugh.

Upon hearing that, Lu Tiance found himself somewhat embarrassed.

While he could be rigid, he was not quite that conservative.

Bending over, he scooped Rong Rong onto his back and headed toward the barracks.

The people watching from the shadows were baffled. “Wow! Is that Quasimodo and his wife?”

“You're dead meat if you dare to address Demon King Lu as Quasimodo!”

“I didn't say that. You've misheard me!”

“I heard you right. You did say it. So, give me a pack of those good cigarettes, or I'll report you right away.”

“Stop messing around. Tell me, what exactly is the relationship between Demon King Lu and that girl?”

“Didn't you hear? They're like siblings.”

“Do you believe it too?”

“If you don't believe it, then what do you think their relationship is?”

“I'm not sure either, but I feel it's not that simple. I think the young lady came specifically to find Demon King Lu.”

“But this girl is really beautiful. She's a university student, right?”

“That's Demon King Lu is close to! Stop overthinking it!”

“All right. I'll see if I can get her contact number tomorrow.”

“Aren't you afraid that Demon King Lu will skin you alive?”

“Demon King Lu is only ruthless toward his enemies, but he is actually very kind to his friends.”

“If they're like siblings, then I think introducing her to you wouldn't be a bad idea.”

“You're trying to punch above your weight!”

There was a buzz of discussion among the crowd, with various opinions voiced.

All in all, Rong Rong's arrival had indeed brought a unique atmosphere to that place.

Some even started to worry. Demon King Lu is a man of principle. Will he send the girl away tomorrow? If he does that, we'll try to stop him. We should either say the car is broken or can't be driven. We can come up with other reasons, but the bottom line is that we need to find a way to have the girl stay a few more days.
