To Love You Again

Chapter 850: A mellow song

Jang Shin who was the weakest in alcohol among men was dancing wobbly with a red face. "This dance ...is...a tribute for Lu Jin!"

Tang Yin who could hold her liquor well was supporting Jang Shin and blowing the kiddie trumpet in a lively tone.

Jang Shin's dance was stiff with no rhythm. Although he did not match the beat, his stiff moves, and confident expression while dancing made everyone laugh.

A harmonious atmosphere was in the air as the lively tone and laughter echoed everywhere.

Jang Shin's drunk dance was a good show.

Lu Jin who rarely laugh was influenced by the warm and free atmpsohee. He also laughed with others while shaking his head.

Lu Yin Ze would glance at his brother from time to time, seeing his brother was enjoying this little party, made the smile on his face turn into a grin.

As long as his brother was happy, he was happy too,

Bivia Chang was laughing hard the most. She was also a bit drunk. She hooked her arm to Tang Xinyang's shoulder and pointed toward Jang Shin who was imitating a tribal dance.

"Xinyang, tell me. What do you like about that guy? He is not even good at drinking and dancing!"

Tang Xinyang who was not even slightly drunk raised her brow. She was clapping and supporting Jang Shin well. "What's wrong with him? His dance is very good. Besides, he is very cute when he is drunk. Hmm...if  I have known he would be like this I should have invited him to drinking long ago."

Bivia Chang: "...."

How could love be so blind?

She also has a boyfriend. If Huo Dian acted like this, she would pretend she did not know the guy.

Guan Gu Ri's face was so red. But he was still sober. "Jang Shin, can you try singing this time? If you continue to dance I am afraid you would vomit out of nowhere."

Jang Shin halted. He squinted his eyes, "Then...uhm...what song?"

Tang Yin raised her hand, "How about my song?

"I don't know any of your songs."

Tang Yin: "..." Are you really my friend?

Tang Xinyang, the supported girlfriend helped her boyfriend and the audience. "Jang Shin only knows old songs."

Lu Yin Ze's ears perked. " Do you know the song 'If I can turn back the hands of time'?"

Lu Jin raised his head in surprise. Wasn't that song...their mother's favorite song?

Jang Shin nodded. "Yeah. Want me to sing it?"

Tang Yin also recognized the song. "Oh! I will play the chords! Jang Shin, since you have me the best songwriter of all time as your instrumental, you should do your best and give the song justice!"

Jang Shin did not feel the pressure but become more confident instead. "You have nothing to worry about. Although I am good at dancing, I am better at singing!"

Jang Shin was a coward when sober but have tremendous courage when drunk.

Tang Xinyang clapped. "Woooh! I guarantee everyone that Jang Shin's voice is much better than Tang Yin!"

Bivia Chang stopped laughing. Tang Xinyang's assuring words made her more doubtful.

Tang Yin instructed a butler to bring the guitar. She strummed the guitar as she signal Jang Shin to start.

Xiong Zhi who was half-drunk was leaning on Linfeng.

The group turned silent as the slow, rhythmic strum of the guitar sounded. Everyone looked at Jang Shin.

(Song If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time by Song by R. Kelly)

"How did I ever let you slip away, never knowing I'd be singing this song some day~"

Everyone: !

Who would have thought that Jang Shin's voice actually sounded good?

Tang Xinyang giggled. She felt very ticklish. She was confident in Jang Shin's voice because she heard him sing before. She fell harder to him when that tempting mouth let out such a melodious tone.

"And now I'm sinking, sinking to rise no more~

"Ever since you closed the door."

Jang Shin's voice was soothing and deep.

Xiong Zhi who was leaning on Linfeng's shoulder sobered a bit. She listened to the song quite contently.

"If I could turn, turn back the hands of time~"

Xiong Zhi looked at Linfeng's handsome side profile. The latter felt her gaze and looked back at her. Those eyes naturally turned gentle.

"Then my darlin' you'd still be mine~"

Xiong Zhi held his hand under the table, in return, Linfeng squeezed her hand. Such mutual love was a bliss.

"Funny, funny how time goes by

And blessings are missed

In the wink of an eye~"

Guan Gu Ri hummed. He also heard this song when he was young. His mother and Lu Yin Ze's mother played this couple of times.

"Why oh why oh why

Should one have to go on suffering

When every day I pray

Please come back to me~"

Lu Yin Ze smiled sadly at this song. Now that he was listening closely, this line poke some sour wounds. A hand patted his head gently. He looked up to see his brother smiling down at him.

"So you still remember this song." Lu Jin said in a low voice.

"How could I forget this? Mother always sang and played this song every time. Then she always tells us the story behind this song--" Lu Yin Ze halted.

When they were young, their mother would always play this song everywhere. At bedtime, their mother would sing this song as a lullaby. If they could not sleep, she would tell her sons the story behind this song.

That this song was playing when their mother and their father first met. This song made their mother remember the sweet meeting with their father.

Lu Jin just smiled sadly at Lu Yin Ze's act of stopping his words midway.

Ever since the two met, they have never once mentioned their father.

"If... I could turn,

Turn back the hands of time~

Then my darling you,

You would be mine~"

Jang Shin's smooth and relaxing voice soothed everyone's heart. The lyrics were tragic and sorrowful. But strangely, it calms them.

****

After the mellow song, Jang Shin went back to being wild again.

Tang Yin who was holding a guitar never put it down. Another song was played.

The group was very lively. Those who knows the song sang loudly, and those who did not only laughed.

There was even a time where Lu Jin was put in the hot spot and everyone tried to force him to sing.

Unfortunately, Lu Jin doesn't know any songs except the kiddie song that he heard when he was a child.

In the end, under everyone's strong persuasion and Lu Yin Ze's shining eyes, Lu Jin embarrassedly sang the kid's song 'One Penny'.

Everyone knew this song. Even Xiong Zhi who lacked childhood heard it before.

This song became popular with the group. To encourage the embarrassed Lu Jin to sing, they clapped to match the rhythm of the song. Since everyone knew this song as a child, they sang together in the chorus while beating their own hands and legs.

The room was truly lively.

A long while later, when most of the bottles were turned over, Jang Shin who drank plentily finally collapsed.
