The School Beauty's Super Rogue-Chapter 308 - 306: When I Miss You, You Are in My Heart

Qiao Jiaying held the microphone, her gaze piercing through the crowd, directly fixing on Qin Hao, and said, "I’m not in the best condition today, so my singing might not be very pleasant. I hope everyone can be understanding."

There was another wave of enthusiastic applause from the audience. Qiao Jiaying gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and then her gaze traversed the crowded room to land on Qin Hao.

The music started, and the bar hall immediately quieted down.

The melodious tune softly echoed; it was a classic old song that everyone was familiar with.

.......

"It was just because I glanced at you in the crowd, and then I couldn’t forget your face."

"Dreaming of a chance encounter one day."

"Since then, I began to feel lonely, missing you."

.......

Qiao Jiaying’s voice was as clear and ethereal as ever. This song, once a hallmark performance by diva Wang Fei, was rendered even more beautifully and movingly by her.

Everyone was captivated, lost in Qiao Jiaying’s singing. Qin Hao’s eyes lit up, quietly sitting at the back, he smiled and cast an appreciative glance toward Qiao Jiaying too.

Meanwhile, in Chen Xinrou and Song Ying’s ears, it was as if a thunderbolt had struck! Qiao Jiaying’s singing was so melodious and lingering, yet they couldn’t grasp a single line.

Because the song’s meaning was too obvious, it was an unabashed love song!

And the person Qiao Jiaying was dedicating the song to was Qin Hao!

Their gazes, complex, turned back to glance at Qin Hao at the back, his eyes deeply communicating with Qiao Jiaying on stage. The world only heard the singing and saw Qiao Jiaying. Yet they didn’t know that Qiao Jiaying’s eyes at that moment were only fixed on Qin Hao.

All the people, all the surroundings—were merely the backdrop for just her and Qin Hao. Through the song, they conveyed emotions that no one could fully understand, yet no one could guess.

The thought of this drove Song Ying almost mad with jealousy!

This was my goddess, Qiao Jiaying! Now she’s singing a love song to a man, with such focus, such passion!

She and Chen Xinrou looked at the sweetly blissful smile on Qiao Jiaying’s face, and at Qin Hao’s appearance of complete enjoyment at the back, the flames of jealousy nearly made them lose their senses.

On stage, Qiao Jiaying’s singing continued, gradually reaching the climax that almost everyone could hum along to.

.......

"When thinking of you, you’re at the horizon"

"When thinking of you, you’re right in front"

"When thinking of you, you’re in my mind"

"When thinking of you, you’re in my heart"

........

These four lines repeated, the pure and beautiful melody with Qiao Jiaying’s clean voice, resonated in everyone’s ears and hearts.

Almost instinctively, an identical thought surfaced in all the audience’s minds.

The person Qiao Jiaying wanted to dedicate this song to must be someone she constantly misses, ingrained in her heart and mind.

The music gracefully subsided into silence. Qiao Jiaying finished the song, while Song Ying stared blankly at everything, her heart filled with astringent jealousy, making her stand dumbfounded in the crowd, unable to utter a word.

Unknowingly, as Qiao Jiaying finished singing, the glass in Song Ying’s hand slipped to the floor. However, the subsequent loud applause and cheers masked the sound of the glass shattering, with no one paying extra attention to Song Ying and Chen Xinrou at this moment.

Wow—ah—!!!

"One more song!"

"Qiao Jiaying! Qiao Jiaying!! Qiao Jiaying!!!"

The whole venue chanted Qiao Jiaying’s name, fervent fans squeezing Song Ying and Chen Xinrou aside, eager to get closer

to shake hands with their idol, get an autograph.

At this time, the security arranged by Qin Hao was almost overrun by the crowd. It was only Dong Wei’s quick reaction that called some security personnel over swiftly, safeguarding Qiao Jiaying off the stage peacefully.

Song Ying watched Qiao Jiaying’s departing back, glanced at Qin Hao, and found Qin Hao also leaving, feeling extremely bitter. She was just a member of Qiao Jiaying’s fan club, whereas Qin Hao could make Qiao Jiaying sing privately for him, and it was even a love song!

The disparity was as vast as heaven and earth.

Her gaze was complex with resentment as she glanced at Chen Xinrou and sighed, then said:

"Xinrou, how did you offend Qin Hao in the past? I understand you. Normally, with someone as impressive as him, with your usual personality, why would you recklessly offend him?"

Song Ying’s question was one that Chen Xinrou had no way to answer. She could only sigh too, her eyes complexly gazing at Qin Hao’s now-empty seat, lost in thought.

After Qiao Jiaying left the stage, the audience in the bar was too enthusiastic, making it impossible for her to appear again. So, she went to a private room on the second floor.

There, Qin Hao was already waiting for her.

"You sang beautifully, star of stars."

"Tsk tsk, I underestimated your impact. If this weren’t my bar, you’d definitely be surrounded by fans today, signing autographs until your hand cramped."

At this, Qiao Jiaying shyly smiled and said, "Well, then when there’s an opportunity, shall we sing a duet on stage together?"

Qin Hao smiled but said nothing.

Qiao Jiaying, however, rolled her eyes playfully, slightly tilting her head, and said to Qin Hao again, "Since you said I sang well, is there a reward?"

Qin Hao was taken aback, then asked, "What reward do you want?"

Qiao Jiaying immediately walked over, boldly opened her arms, and said, "Of course, a hug from you."

Qin Hao looked at her, seeing her cute demeanor like a little girl, he helplessly chuckled and then directly stepped forward, embracing Qiao Jiaying.

This was his second hug with Qiao Jiaying. This time lasted a bit longer than the first, with Qiao Jiaying’s softness lingering against Qin Hao’s chest a bit more.

Qin Hao gently patted her back, and then they parted, but Qiao Jiaying’s face was already flushed red.

She said a bit flustered, "Then, I’ll get going now, the endorsement matter?"

Qin Hao nodded to her and said, "Okay, I’ll see you off. Regarding the endorsement, just come over to sign the contract directly."

"Alright then!"

Qiao Jiaying nodded happily, and then Qin Hao also escorted her out through the back door of the bar.

After sending Qiao Jiaying away, Qin Hao habitually watched the car carrying her leave, then also left the bar.

The night was deep tonight,

Qin Hao furrowed his brows, feeling an inexplicable anxiety, as if in this long dark night, an invisible beast seemed ready to devour him.
