Super Rich by Doing as You Please

After parking their bikes, Xu Yun and Chen Xin began to stroll hand in hand through the campus.

They looked just like a pair of university students in love.

As they walked, the two of them arrived at the school’s sports field.

A lot of people were gathered there, and it looked like some kind of event was going on.

”Come on, let’s go check it out.”

Xu Yun pulled Chen Xin along and they headed over.

It turned out that the school’s music club was holding a spontaneous, special ”concert.”

They didn’t have a stage; a crowd of students had gathered in a large circle.

And in the very center of the sports field, there was only a simple sound system and a single microphone.

A chubby girl was singing ”Later On.”

”Gardenia flowers, white petals, fall on my blue and white dress~”

”I love you, you softly say~”

”I lower my head and smell a sweet fragrance~”

”That eternal night, midsummer at seventeen, the night you kissed me~”

”So for the rest of my days, whenever I sigh, I’ll always remember the starlight of that day~”

”Why was love back then so simple~”

”...”

The girl’s appearance may not have been remarkable, but her voice was truly beautiful.

It seemed that back in school, the girls who were good at singing were always the chubby, kind of cute ones.

From the moment she started singing, the atmosphere of regret for things lost infected everyone around, and they spontaneously began to sing along with her.

As they sang, they also turned on their phone flashlights and waved them back and forth, just like at a real concert.

Chen Xin, swept up in the moment, also began to sing along loudly.

”Later on, I finally learned how to love~”

”But you had long since gone, disappearing into the sea of people~”

”Later on, I finally understood through my tears, that some people, once you miss them, are gone forever~”

”...”

While everyone was still reminiscing about someone they once loved, the chubby girl had already left the ”stage.”

The girl hosting the event continued to invite the next ”star” to come up.

Xu Yun listened for a bit and realized that anyone in the crowd who wanted to sing could just go up, grab the mic, and become the star of tonight’s concert.

Xu Yun smiled and teased, ”You want to go up and sing a song?”

”I wouldn’t dare.”

Hearing this, Chen Xin’s head immediately started shaking back and forth like a rattle.

As a girl with social anxiety, asking her to sing in front of so many people was just too much.

”Why don’t you go up and sing a song?”

Chen Xin smiled. ”I’ve never heard you sing before.”

”I’d love to, but I’m tone-deaf.”

Xu Yun joked self-deprecatingly, ”I’m afraid if I go up there, everyone will run off before I can even sing a few lines.”

”It’s okay, no one will laugh at you.”

Chen Xin said, ”Besides, I’d really love for you to sing a song for me.”

”Alright, for you, I’ll go for it today.”

After hesitating for three seconds, Xu Yun said, ”Then you’d better listen closely.”

With that, urged on by the host’s call for volunteers, Xu Yun passed through the crowd in front and walked to the center of the ”stage.”

He was already good-looking, and over the past few days, the system had cultivated a unique charisma in him.

So the moment he appeared, he was met with a warm welcome from a large number of girls.

’When did such a handsome guy show up at our school?!’

Never mind how he sang. With looks like that, they were already in love.

For many university students these days, principles took a backseat to a pretty face.

Since Xu Yun dared to go up, he obviously wasn’t planning on embarrassing himself.

He might be tone-deaf, but he was a man with a system.

And since Chen Xin wanted to hear him sing, he was going to put on a real show for her.

So, before going up, Xu Yun had immediately spent money in the system store to redeem a temporary singing Skill.

So now, even if a god of singing were to show up, he was confident he could compete with them.

The female host of the event hadn’t expected such a high-quality guy to come up. She asked happily, ”Student, may I ask which department and class you’re from?”

”Software Engineering, Class 3.”

”Can you tell us your name?”

The female host smiled. ”I’m sure a lot of people here would like to know the answer to that.”

”Xu Yun.”

After getting the information she wanted, the female host silently committed it to memory.

She asked again, ”Mr. Xu, what song would you like to sing for all of us?”

Xu Yun looked at Chen Xin, who was standing at the edge of the crowd, and answered, ”Favoritism.”

Hearing the name of the song, Chen Xin’s heart was suddenly filled with a sweet sense of happiness.

The music began to play.

Xu Yun began to sing.

”Let’s erase yesterday, now you’re here before my eyes~

I want to love, please give me a chance~

If I’m wrong, I’ll bear the consequences; I’ve decided you are the answer~

...”

Empowered by the system, Xu Yun’s voice was a pleasant surprise.

Through every melody and lyric, he sang of a stubborn kind of love—a love that would never give up, that wouldn’t let go no matter the hardships or obstacles, a love that gives its all.

It was a love that let one’s beloved feel its persistence.

A love that knows no boundaries, fears no ridicule, and persists even if it must cross the divide between mortals and gods.

A love that would persevere even against the whole world.

A love that holds the other’s hand even through pain and hardship.

Listening to Xu Yun’s singing, Chen Xin’s eyes reddened with emotion, feeling as if every lyric was a message meant for her.

She, who had been hesitating, confused, and worried, suddenly understood.

No matter how many other women were around Xu Yun, she was the one and only for him.

His love for her, just like the song he was singing, was a form of favoritism that no other woman received.

At that moment, it was as if she had made some kind of resolution. She looked at the charismatic man in the center of the stage, her gaze gradually growing firm. She suddenly felt confident in her own ordinary self.
