From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!-Chapter 99 - 51: Mechanical Man
"It’s just fame in a very small range, not to the point of being admired."
K3 recalled something unpleasant, and his expression stiffened. Hearing this, Su Jiameng felt a bit relieved. If the whole world were immersed in the halo of Aunt Mary Su, she would be very frustrated.
Actually, Su Jiameng was overthinking it. The mainstream of this interstellar era is mecha, and novels about women fighting over cucumbers wouldn’t cause much of a stir. Even if all humans were on board, beings from other races in the universe wouldn’t appreciate such "beauty." As for songs, she rarely went to KTV to sing and release emotions, so her influence was limited.
While K3 and others were singing and playing around, everyone took a turn belting out a song, except for Su Jiameng, so she became the target.
"You have to sing today, or else you’re not giving face, ruining the atmosphere, Xiao Meng." Xu Na forcibly handed her the microphone. Su Jiameng wanted to refuse by saying she couldn’t sing, but it didn’t work. Xu Na insisted, "Even if you have to read it word for word, you still have to go! It doesn’t matter if you can’t sing, as long as you can recognize the words and read them, it’s fine!"
Su Jiameng grumbled with a black line over her face, "Nana is really ruthless, isn’t it just singing..."
Those plagiarized "adapted" songs of Princess Fusu, she couldn’t sing them. She had a psychological shadow, especially that song "Mechanical Man," whenever she saw that title, she couldn’t help but laugh, let alone singing normally.
After thinking over the songs in her head, she found her mind blank, so she had no choice but to search through the song list, hoping to find familiar songs she could sing. Luckily, she discovered a few songs she was familiar with on the list. Of course, they had nothing to do with Princess Fusu, but were songs she had encountered in her second life. Seems like the two worlds have some similarities?
"There’s no song by Princess Fusu, huh, Xiao Meng, what did you choose? It doesn’t seem to be very famous." Xu Na was quite eager to hear Su Jiameng sing "Mechanical Man," thinking it would be really amusing to hear it in her soft, childlike voice.
"I’ve heard this song before, it’s not bad." But it’s not very suitable for KTV.
Su Jiameng wasn’t great at singing, at most she could manage to stay in tune, and this song she barely sang passably. As for melodious heavenly voices, she didn’t have that talent. Xu Na grudgingly let Su Jiameng off the hook, and the group played other games.
Drinking, karaoke, and playing games. Su Jiameng didn’t expect the usually silent Xu Lei to be a karaoke master, with an excellent singing foundation and a deep voice that, with a bit of emotion, rivaled second or third-tier singers. Among her friends, she thought Lucy would sing the best, but when she opened her mouth, it left Su Jiameng thunderstruck...
Xu Na was average at singing, but she was very skilled at dancing. Even as a girl, Su Jiameng blushed and her heart raced at her moves, an indescribable allure and temptation. Of course, every time she danced, her brother Xu Lei didn’t look too pleased.
K3 was quite balanced; average at singing, so-so at dancing, incredibly unlucky at games!
Lucy noticed that Su Jiameng’s glass was filled with fruit juice, and she whispered to K3, "Boss Qin is quite thoughtful... swapping out the drinks Nana purposely swapped for her. But be careful, she might take petty revenge on you."
K3 replied helplessly, "Xiao Meng is still a kid, drinking is not right! What Nana did wasn’t okay..."
However, K3’s influence was sometimes lacking. For example, during their card game, Su Jiameng unfortunately got caught. Xu Lei thought it was K3 who got caught, so he mercilessly declared a penalty of three big bottles of wine! But when the cards were revealed, it turned out Su Jiameng was the one caught, and everyone was momentarily stunned.
K3 volunteered, "Xiao Meng is still underage, so no need for alcohol, let’s swap it for juice instead. If it really can’t work, Xu Lei and I can down those three bottles of wine..." After all, he insisted that minors shouldn’t drink!
Actually, K3 forgot that if you really calculate his current age, he technically falls within the minor category too.
"No need, I’ll drink." Su Jiameng politely declined his goodwill. She wasn’t unable to drink, just that her tolerance wasn’t very good, and she didn’t like the taste of alcohol. But since everyone was having such a good time, it would be awkward for her to be the odd one out.
Hmm, it’s just three bottles of red wine, the alcohol content seems low; she estimated it wouldn’t get her drunk, right?
Under K3’s disapproving gaze, Su Jiameng downed the bottles of red wine as if drinking plain water, and finally smacked her lips, saying, "The taste of this red wine isn’t bad, a bit sweet..."
No issues, really? Their eyes shifted to Su Jiameng’s face, wondering if the flush on her cheeks was too obvious. But Xiao Meng looked like nothing was amiss, which made them feel something was off. Even if Xiao Meng was just a minor, or even an ordinary adult, downing three vigorously potent bottles of red wine with such zeal should have left her drunk, right?
Su Jiameng claimed she wasn’t drunk; except for flushed cheeks, there seemed to be no other signs of drunkenness, so they felt reassured. Apparently, Xiao Meng, despite her age, had a pretty good tolerance—drinking three aged bottles of red wine and still acting so composed.
Then, they quickly found out Su Jiameng wasn’t just not drunk! But this girl being drunk seemed almost normal, her façade was too superb! The way she went wild with alcohol was beyond what ordinary imagination could fathom! (To be continued.
