ll revered and enfeoffed by successive feudal dynasties, reaching the highest official rank and status as ministers. This formed one of the two hereditary families in Chinese cultural history—"Souther...Chapter 670: Manly Deeds
Looking at this girl's appearance, Xiao Yu nodded secretly to himself. Zhang Qiu Zhan’s family had been living in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions since his grandfather's generation, but their ancestral home was actually in Northeast China. So although Zhang Qiu Zhan grew up in the south, he still possessed a certain straightforwardness characteristic of people from Northeast China, and his personality was somewhat carefree.
The girl had a very shy and delicate personality, which complemented Zhang Qiu Zhan's character perfectly.
"Hello, Third Sister!" Upon hearing Zhang Qiu Zhan's introduction, Xiao Yu quickly stood up to greet her.
"Hello, Fourth Brother!" After hearing Xiao Yu's greeting, the girl also hurriedly looked up and greeted him.
It wasn't until Wang Jing raised her head that Xiao Yu could clearly see the girl’s appearance. She didn’t look very beautiful at first glance, but she was pleasant to look at for a longer period of time. Moreover, her looks were quite distinctive; he noticed that her "eyebrows were thick and dark, her philtrum full, her cheeks plump, and her chin substantial, almost resembling a double chin!"
"Truly a face conducive to one's husband’s success," Xiao Yu thought secretly in admiration when he saw the girl’s appearance. When he first noticed Wang Jing's features, he observed that her facial features were brimming with the five elements of prosperity.
After Xiao Yu greeted this young lady, Wang Chengzhi and Guo Liang also stood up to greet Wang Jing; they had met a few times before so they considered each other acquaintances.
Around after everyone exchanged greetings, the door outside was filled with chattering sounds.
"Xiao Mei and the others are here!" Upon hearing this commotion, Guo Liang told Xiao Yu and the others. As soon as he finished speaking, their private room's door was pushed open from the outside. Three girls walked in amidst enthusiastic chatter.
When he saw the three girls enter, Guo Liang stood up and introduced them to Xiao Yu and his friends.
Zhou Xiaomei, who is Guo Liang's girlfriend, is a senior at Huadaxue. Her father is also a gold member here, so she holds an ordinary membership status herself.
The other two girls are Zhou Xiaomei's college classmates: the taller one named Xia Xiu and the shorter but curvaceous one called Wang Ying. All three of them were very pretty.
Guo Liang introduced these three girls to Xiao Yu and his friends.
The Guo family and Zhou family have multiple business collaborations, so their relationship was tacitly approved by both sets of parents, even somewhat encouraged.
Both understood what the adults were thinking, so they naturally started dating. However, due to familial reasons, despite not having any bad feelings towards this girl, Guo Liang had always felt that it was a marriage arranged by their families, and he never brought Zhou Xiaomei to meet his friends.
Back when Guo Liang was younger and more spirited, he resented the parental arrangement like a thorn in his side. But after returning from the deep sea, he joined his family's company and worked diligently. Over time, he became much calmer and more composed both verbally and in action.
Additionally, seeing how well their parents got along wasn't just business partners but rather like two sets of close friends, it was as if they were him and Zhang Qiuzhan; this changed his attitude towards the relationship with Zhou Xiaomei. The thorn had been slowly worn down.
This is why after Xiao Yu arrived here, Guo Liang called Zhou Xiaomei over — he wanted to formally introduce her to his friends and brothers during this opportunity.
Upon receiving Guo Liang's call, Zhou Xiaomei was very excited. She liked Guo Liang but could sense that there was still a distance between them in her heart. This was clear from the fact that he had never introduced his friends to her before.
Despite this, Zhou Xiaomei never said anything; she knew that such matters couldn't be rushed. She could only gradually and patiently try to win Guo Liang over, melting away the distance between them.
Tonight, right after having dinner with her dormitory friend, she received a call from Guo Liang asking her to come to Jinqin Garden's clubhouse where he would introduce her to some friends. This made Zhou Xiaomei very excited because it indicated that the distance between Guo Liang and her had gradually melted away and that he was starting to let her into his circle.
Especially after hearing Guo Liang's introductions here, she realized these people were not just ordinary friends of Guo Liang but also his brothers. Her excitement increased, as it seemed the distance between them had completely disappeared.
Hence, Zhou Xiaomei was extremely enthusiastic in her behavior. Unlike her introverted friend Wang Jing, Zhou Xiaomei's personality was bold and outgoing, so she quickly got along with Zhang Qizhan and Xiao Yu.
After becoming acquainted, they left the tea pavilion for a karaoke room. With these girls around, the atmosphere became much livelier; even Wang Chengzhi sang a few songs with that shorter girl who was quite voluptuous.
"Fourth Brother, don't just sit there! Come on, come and sing a song! I'll help you choose one!" Zhang Qizhan couldn't help calling out when he saw Xiao Yu hadn't sung any song so far.
It turned out that the tall girl had initially been talking to Xiao Yu from time to time. However, she would only get a cold reply for each question she asked him, which made her gradually ignore him.
"Yeah! Fourth Brother, come on, sing one!" Hearing Zhang Qizhan's words, Zhou Xiaomei saw that Xiao Yu hadn't moved and started nudging him beside the microphone.
"This... okay then, I'll sing 'Nan Zi Xing' [A Man’s Way]!" Xiao Yu wasn’t refusing to sing but was at a loss as he hardly had any interest in current pop songs. He could hum some lines of only a few of them; the rest were beyond his reach. To avoid embarrassment, he hadn't sung anything until now. But seeing Zhang Qizhan and Zhou Xiaomei’s insistence, he thought for a moment and recalled the one song he knew well.
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, a pained look appeared on Zhang Qizhan's face; there was no music for this song in their current setup.
"Fourth Brother, if you don't want to sing, just say so! You know this song doesn't have music!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Zhou Xiaomei pouted and said.
"Yeah..."
"If you don't want to sing, just say it out loud..."
Upon hearing Zhou Xiaomei’s words, Zhang Qiuzhan and the two girls who came with her also started teasing him.
"But I really can’t sing! Or... shall I perform an a cappella" At this moment, Xiao Yu was somewhat at a loss. These people were all his brothers; they came out to have fun, so he couldn't dampen their spirits. Moreover, even the sister-in-law he met for the first time had joined in the teasing, so after some thought, he said.
"Alright, an a cappella is fine too..." Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, the three girls said after thinking about it.
“Cough cough…” After walking to the center of the room and clearing his throat, Xiao Yu prepared himself.
Xiao Yu planned to sing "Nan Zi Xing" in Song Que’s style. With Zhong Kui's memories in his mind, Xiao Yu was proficient in Tang poetry and Song lyrics; he also played the guqin very well, so naturally, he excelled at composing verses as well. Therefore, after standing there for a moment, musing over it, he found a way to perform an a cappella.
"The land of Yan and Huang is full of heroes; one can stand up against a hundred men without fear...... A man draws his sword and travels a thousand miles, cutting down enemies along the way..... A man acts with brutality...A man should kill people and do so mercilessly; great achievements will be remembered for eternity in this act of killing..... To kill one person is to commit a crime, but to slay ten thousand makes you a hero. If one kills nine million people, then one becomes the greatest among heroes......"
After Xiao Yu finished singing, there was dead silence in the entire room; everyone stared at him with shocked expressions. This song had made them feel as if they were right in the middle of a battlefield covered in corpses and blood, watching as Xiao Yu stood there holding his sword with millions of bodies behind him. Furthermore, while he sang just now, some killing intent inadvertently seeped out from him, making everyone feel like a god of slaughter was standing right next to them.tly, Wu Shouye and Zhang Dahan didn't stop them. It was Xiao Yu's grand opening day today, and they did not wish to stir up trouble either. Wouldn’t it be easy to settle accounts with them after today...
