The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend
/ The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend Chapter 9
Jia Li broke into a smile as she saw him near the stage and started to croon lines from his favourite song by Aerosmith .
Tang hummed the lines in his head as a swarm of emotions flitted through him and he was transported back to the first time he had heard the song on his iPod . He had been naturally gifted with a sexy baritone suited to sing the rock songs and most of the girls in town were crazy about his voice . He had spent the whole night learning the song and its nuances . During lunch break, the next day, he had taken Jia Li aside and sung it for her .
"Oh, I absolutely love it", she had gushed, hugging him hard .
Advertisement"I think you should perform this as your first song now onwards for any of our band's performances" .
"Did you really like it so much", a delighted Tang had asked?
She had shaken her head and told him, "if you don't believe me, wait for the girls' reactions when they first hear it" .
But he had never ever sung it for anyone else after that .
"She remembers that the song was special to me . It was the first declaration of my feelings for her", he thought as Jia Li brought the song to its culmination .
Amidst loud cheering and applause, she came down and took Tang by hand to take him up to the stage .
"Did you think we were going to let you get away", shouted Chung from the drummer's post .
"But I haven't sung even in the shower for the past ten years", protested Tang .
"Yeah? And do you think I have been giving live performances all this while? Stop making excuses . Now tell me what song are you going to perform so that we can cue it", she muttered in his ears .
"Ok, I will do it but on one condition – you have to sing with me", he told her .
Her eyes widened for a second while she tried to make an excuse to extract herself without giving away the reason behind it .
He held her arm and said intensely, "just this once", forestalling any half formed thoughts in her head .
She broke the gaze and nodded mutely .
She took the microphone, "thank you for your appreciation . We are being joined by the star of our now defunct band – Xie Tang . "
In the meanwhile, Tang had a quiet word with Chung and Li Jie . After that, he joined Jia Li on the centre stage .
"Good evening everyone . You are lucky enough to witness our first performance after a decade", said Tang as people laughed and clapped .
