Chapter 181: I'm a Little Attracted to You



```

Indeed, the two women stood up and, swaying their serpent-like waists, walked toward Ge Dongxu.

Ge Dongxu saw the commotion picking up and thought the class reunion was getting a bit too messy.

Clearly, he wasn't the only one who felt this way, as many cast a glance at Zhou Xialiu and at Director Cui, who wore a cold smile, and frowned slightly, disdain clearly visible in their eyes.

Anyone with half a brain could see that Zhou Xialiu and the General Managers Li and Zhang were all trying to curry favor with Director Cui.

However, nobody voiced any objections. Most of them had graduated with a degree in finance and, after graduation, had mostly gone to work in banks. Those with connections stayed in the capital, while those without, like Yuan Li, returned to work in local areas.

At that time, a finance degree was highly sought after, and with just a little effort and some smarts, it was possible to land a mid-level position in a bank, like Zhou Xialiu who was a department manager at a branch in the capital. As for General Managers Li and Zhang, they had gone into business for themselves.

Still, they were only in their thirties, not long out of school. Among those attending the reunion, Cui Mingshuo had done the best for himself, holding a deputy director position in an important department at the central bank.

Since they were all from the banking system, they inevitably needed Cui Mingshuo's favor, and even if they didn't, they dared not offend him. As for General Managers Li and Zhang, being in business, they inevitably needed loans and such, and they often interacted with Cui Mingshuo and Zhou Xialiu, so when Zhou Xialiu made his suggestion, they joined in the raucous support.

Yuan Li, seeing the two women swaying their hips as they approached, also felt somewhat annoyed.

She really didn't know how to counter this move!

"Why has no one started singing? Weren't we going to sing? Sister, how about I invite you to sing a song with me?" Ge Dongxu saw the two women were almost upon him, a strong fragrance assaulting his nostrils, which made him frown slightly. A thought struck him, and he suddenly grabbed Yuan Li and stood up, saying.

Yuan Li, hearing this, blinked at Ge Dongxu and said happily, "Sure!"

With that, she and Ge Dongxu took microphones and went to the screen to pick a song.

As Yuan Li and Ge Dongxu stood up and left, General Managers Li and Zhang's mistresses were a bit stunned, not sure what to do. Zhou Xialiu couldn't come up with a plan on short notice either and could only offer an awkward laugh, saying, "Little Ge is quite crafty in his workings!"

The crowd all laughed, and the two mistresses returned to the sides of General Managers Li and Zhang, coiling around them like serpents, while occasionally pinching them and complaining that they had been sent away and embarrassed.

While everyone else was roaring with laughter, Ge Dongxu was getting worried. He leaned over to Yuan Li's ear and whispered, "Sister, I think I've never sung love songs before!"

"Pfft! And you were the one to propose such an idea! Now you have to go along with it whether you like it or not. I'll find a popular love song, and you just hum along as best as you can," Yuan Li said, finding joy in Ge Dongxu's predicament for not having sung love songs before yet stepping forward for her.

"Sister, what's with that expression? You look like you're reveling in my misfortune. I did this for you, you know!" Ge Dongxu, seeing Yuan Li not in a rush and actually looking happy, couldn't help but say with a mix of laughter and tears.

"Do I? No way. There are only love songs here, which one have you heard more of? Do you know 'Heart Rain'?" Yuan Li turned the song catalog to show Ge Dongxu.

Though Ge Dongxu had never put in the effort to learn a song thoroughly, back when he was studying, there was always a song before class—that's when, before the teacher arrived, the class would sing led by the secretary for literature and arts. Whatever song was popular at the time, Ge Dongxu would hum along. So, looking at the song list, he found he could recall the melodies of quite a few. He knew a bit of the song "Heart Rain" that Yuan Li mentioned, but remembering that its lyrics were rather sad, he thought for a moment and said, "The lyrics of that song aren't great; let's choose this one, 'I'm Slightly Attracted to You'. I like this song better and I should be able to hum it."

Yuan Li didn't have much of a reaction when Ge Dongxu said the lyrics of "Heart Rain" weren't good, but when he pointed to "I'm Slightly Attracted to You," her face flushed red, and she gave Ge Dongxu an enchanting side glance, leaving him confused by her meaningful look.

"Let's go with that one then." Seeing that Ge Dongxu seemed oblivious to the implication, Yuan Li couldn't help but throw another glance at him and said.

So the two selected "I'm Slightly Attracted to You," and the melodious tune began to play in the private room.

You and I, men and women, can't escape love

```

Who has the courage to give their true heart regardless of everything else?

What you're saying includes not just you, but also myself.

Should we continue or should we respond?

Let love take its steps closer.

I'm slightly moved by you,

Yet so afraid to look into your eyes.

A little bit moved, a little bit hesitant,

I can't believe my feelings are beyond my control.

...

Ge Dongxu was a bit uncomfortable at first, singing off-key, and people were quietly mocking him. But as a cultivator, his vocal range was much broader than the average person's, and soon enough, when he got into the groove, his magnetic, effortless voice filled the private room, quickly intoxicating the audience.

The lyrics coincidentally expressed Yuan Li's feelings at the time, and Ge Dongxu sang so well that Yuan Li quickly became emotional, especially when Ge Dongxu looked into her eyes singing "I'm slightly moved by you, yet afraid to look into your eyes," her eyes couldn't help but moisten, and at some point, their hands found each other.

"Great! Kiss! Give us a kiss!" When the song ended, someone from below started to tease.

Yuan Li, hearing the calls, really wanted to slowly close her eyes and wait for Ge Dongxu's kiss, yet she knew he was only eighteen, and he'd soon become a billionaire, while she was merely a divorced woman. How could she be worthy of his kiss?

"Go on, stop fooling around!" Ultimately, Yuan Li waved her hand at the crowd, smiling brightly as she pulled Ge Dongxu back to their seats by his hand.

"Not bad, Little Ge, have a drink." After Ge Dongxu came down, Cui Mingshuo made a point of getting up and grabbing two bottles of beer, handing one to him.

Although Ge Dongxu didn't like the man, since it was a reunion with Yuan Li's classmates, he didn't want to be rude, so he clinked bottles with him.

"What does your family do for a living, Little Ge?" After having a sip with Ge Dongxu, Cui Mingshuo casually sat next to him and asked.

"Nothing much, just a small business," Ge Dongxu replied casually.

"Doing business is great, not like us who work for salaries," Cui Mingshuo said with a laugh, though his face clearly showed a hint of disdain.

Ge Dongxu just smiled and did not continue the conversation.

"I know a number of business owners and government officials in Jiangnan Province. If you need any help with your business next time, just let me know. After all, you're a friend of Yuan Li's, and I ought to help when I can," Cui Mingshuo said.

"Yeah, Little Ge, Director Cui has extensive connections. You should toast him a few more times," Zhou Xialiu chimed in.
