The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 134

Xia Ling walked into the reception room and observed her surroundings.

The spacious room was brightly lit, and the violin ensemble performed live on a black marble stage. The melodious songs danced around the room as the maids dressed formally in white shirts and bow ties served wine to the women and men around. The male guests wore their tuxedos while the female guests arrived in their pretty dresses, all emitting a faint fragrance from their perfumes.

They spoke softly and politely, depicting a classic scene of high society.

Xia Ling did not know why she liked grandiose events and even hosted year after year. He recalled the time Pei Ziheng kept him imprisoned, and when Xia Yu was secretly recording the hardships he was going through. These are the people who attend his reception party who are happy because of it. "A very pampered woman, she should have been out a long time ago. I told you, Director Pei will be sick and tired of playing with him one day, but you don't believe me. ”

"Who doesn't trust you? Boss Liu and I bet on how long it will take for Director Pei to kick the woman aside, haha. It's been less than two years, I won. ”

All of these pieces ate it slowly.

The only entertainment was that Pei Ziheng was not around, there was no scenery in the entire dance hall.

"It's very boring . "That was Wei Shaoyin's voice, she felt uneasy ever since she stepped into that place. “I don't like crowded places. ”

Li Lei shrugged his shoulders. "You can go wherever you like. "He doesn't like having Wei Shaoyin around, playing gooseberry on a perfect date partner."

Ah Wei was happy to hear it and firmly broke away from her Boss, looking for a corner to relax.

Xia Ling was also not so excited about the event; seeing so many familiar faces disgusted her.

Li Lei read his expression. "Are you bored?"

He nodded .

Li Lei was happy to know that he was not having fun at Pei Ziheng's cocktail reception. He seriously asked, "I'll give you something to eat, what do you want?"

“Kue hazelnut. ”

Hazelnut cakes are her favorite. Li Lei ate with her very often in the past few weeks and had found likes and dislikes. She told him to stay in place until he came back and went alone to the food table to get the cake.

Xia Ling was waiting at the side, when suddenly, she felt a pain in her shoulder – someone had hit her hard enough. He subconsciously grabbed the window sill beside him to avoid falling to the ground.

"Why are you in the way, you're blind!" The other party began to berate him before he even had time to look up. It was the voice of a young woman. “Who is here. ”

Her condescending tone made Xia Ling angry.

Xia Ling looked up to see a fantastically dressed woman in a classy custom-made dress. He has an elaborately designed breast brooch in the form of a peacock studded with precious stones.

“What do you see? You have something against me? ”The woman did not like the way Xia Ling looked at her with clear eyes and a sharp gaze. There was no trace of fear or inferiority in those eyes, and with "Hmph," the woman turned around and walked away from Xia Ling.

Xia Ling wanted to act, but took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. This is an Imperial Entertainment event in the Pei Ziheng region. He did not want to draw unnecessary attention to her or make a fuss.

He furrowed his brows and tried to stand up straight, holding onto the window sill for support.

His ankles gave way, and he almost fell down again.

A steady hand appeared before him – the nails were neatly cut, the rest of his arms were covered with white sleeves under the black suit, and titanium cuffs glittered under the light from the chandelier.

He looked up and saw that person's face clearly – Feng Kun.

It's been too long.

That was when he realized he was staring at her for too long. He picked it up and nodded his head.

His hands were still out in front of him.

He felt better and reached out to hold it.

Feng Kun exerted strength to help him calm down.

"Thank you," he said. He had already thought of the possibility of bumping into her at this reception even before she came. This old friend of hers was the friend she had missed so much, and now that they had met once again, there was so much she wanted to say to him, but there was nothing she had a chance for.

Feng Kun looked at him. "Name-sama . ”

The words were polite but secluded, nothing more than the usual formal exchange between acquaintances. However he did not leave after a short exchange. He could not determine why, but he felt that the girl standing in front of him gave him a very familiar feeling, he actually looked like Xiao Ling, they don't look like each other.

"Is there anything else?" Xia Ling asked. He felt conflicted, on one hand, he really did not want anything to do with Feng Kun and wanted him to distance himself as soon as possible, but on the other hand, he really did not want anything to do with Feng Kun, he couldn't bear to see her leave so quickly. Old friend, it's been a long time.

"I've heard you sing 'Devil of the Sea, '" said Feng Kun.

His voice was gentle like a wave, calming his nervousness that emerged from over-focusing on not revealing his identity. "It wasn't sung very well" he said.

“No, that's good. "Feng Kun smiled. “You are the first person I know who can sing Xiao Ling's song well and accordingly. ”

It was too good a compliment, and he revealed how flattered he was. "You're too good . ”

"If he's still here, he'll like you. ”

Feng Kun's voice sounded a bit tense right now, making Xia Ling a little sick inside. Before he realized, he asked, "How .. are you overseas?"

"What?" Feng Kun was stunned.

Xia Ling realized she was saying something wrong. Given that it was their first interaction, how could he ask something so personal? He tried to save his mistake. “Not-not much. I just feel that after Xia Ling dies, you will be very sad. ”

Is he sad?

Of course .

Feng Kun looked up, staring at the screen where Xia Ling's video was playing as he smiled sadly. "He is my best friend" he said, tenderly and painfully.

His heart is getting sick. Fearing that he would feel her emotional change, she turned around.

"Sorry," he said. “Someone was waiting for me there. I have to go. ”

He ran away from her. He could face all his enemies from his previous life and the hatred and humiliation that accompanied him. Yet he did not have the strength to face Feng Kun and his longing.

He was afraid he would lose control.

He walked towards the food table quickly. Why hasn't Li Lei come back from getting a cake for him? He looked through the rows of delicious food before finally seeing it.

In front of him stood a girl whose hands were on her elbows, as if they were very close. She had a beautiful hairstyle and wore a beautiful dress, and in front of her was a sparkling peacock brooch.

The girl who hit him and threw harsh words at him earlier.
