Chapter 30

A group of drunk guys were also attracted by Su Yingxue's singing. When the song ended, thunderous applause erupted. After all, she was the class beauty and the school beauty, and the boys' cheers were continuous.

However, Su Yingxue didn't sing again after that. A few girls sang a couple of sappy love songs, and then for a long time, it was all Beyond time.

"Truly Love You," "No More Hesitation," "Glorious Years," "Boundless Sky"

These were definitely the favorites of the boys in the KTV at that time. However, Li Mu couldn't help but feel that the singing skills of this group were not very impressive.

The observant vice-class president noticed that everyone had been sitting there for over an hour, and it seemed that only Li Mu hadn't opened his mouth to sing. Thinking about how Li Mu had sponsored 900 yuan to get this table of drinks and snacks, she took the opportunity when the microphone was free and loudly urged, "Li Mu, you're the only one who hasn't sung. Sing a song for us!"

Since Li Mu had become a handsome guy, the girls all started to agree.

Li Mu had had a bit to drink but wasn't shy. He stood up with a cigarette in his mouth, rubbed his spiky hair, and with a bad boy look, said, "Who has the songbook? Give me 'No Longer Let You Be Lonely'!"

Chen Sheng wasn't an idol singer; he was older and not very good-looking. His singing was too沧桑 (weathered) and casual, so he wasn't popular among the young. Most of his fans were middle-aged people with some life experience. Therefore, when Li Mu chose this song, most people hadn't heard it before.

But for Li Mu, this song was full of sentiment. The lyrics, melody, and even the singing style were filled with genuine emotion. The accompaniment was just a guitar, making it even more simple and pure.

"Let me gently kiss your face, wipe away your tears of sorrow..."

"The road is long, we'll walk it together..."

"I won't let you be lonely anymore, we'll walk until the end of time..."

Li Mu's voice was naturally hoarse and magnetic, and he sang the song almost perfectly. It not only moved many to tears but also, in the ears of some discerning listeners, revealed a sense of weathered experience and reflection that didn't match his youthful appearance.

The one who was most surprised and emotionally stirred was Su Yingxue. She seemed to understand Li Mu less and less. She had known him for three years, but all her impressions of him seemed to have been completely overturned in the past few days.

For the entire evening, Li Mu only sang this one song.

He didn't drink much more, nor did he smoke much more.

Like him, Su Yingxue didn't sing again.

While the two of them were more reserved, the others became more enthusiastic. Several boys were so drunk they could barely keep their eyes open, but whenever a familiar song came on, they still joined in loudly.

Around eleven o'clock, a few male classmates went to the bathroom together. Not long after, Hu Guo, Li Mu's desk mate, ran back in a panic, pushed the door open, and shouted, "The class president has been hit! All the guys, follow me!"

A group of drunk high school graduates, with their adrenaline pumping, were quicker to react than even a porn star. Upon hearing this, over twenty boys immediately got up, stumbling, and followed the male classmate out.

Seeing that this group of guys went to fight without any weapons, Li Mu couldn't help but think, "They're just a bunch of hotheads." He then picked up a beer bottle, held it behind his back, and followed them out.

The group rushed to the bathroom door, and the scene before them stunned many.

The KTV bathroom was large, with the entrance area alone being several dozen square meters. The class president and two other classmates were cornered by four or five young thugs. These thugs were continuously punching and kicking them, and the most aggressive one had picked up a mop from the bathroom and was using it to jab at them.

Seeing over twenty people come, the thugs were taken aback. One of Li Mu's classmates shouted, "Damn, how dare you hit our class president! Let's fight them!"

The thugs were also stunned, not expecting so many people to show up.

Their private room was right across from the bathroom. Five men and three women had come, and three of the men, who were drunk, went to the bathroom together. One of them bumped into the class president, who, also drunk, instinctively said that the other guy wasn't paying attention while walking. Without a word, the other guy slapped the class president.

The three other male classmates tried to help, but the other guy went back and called the other two men out. Once they were all there, they started the fight. Five against four, the high school students were no match and had no chance to fight back. Hu Guo managed to escape and bring back reinforcements.

Li Mu had no clear memory of this fight from his previous life. He had been quite drunk and fell asleep soon after arriving at the KTV. The next day, he heard that the male classmates had fought with some young thugs at the KTV, and one of the male classmates had been stabbed in the abdomen. Although he wasn't in danger, he stayed in the city hospital for over half a month to recover. Li Mu and his classmates had visited him a few times, and he remembered that the person who stabbed him was never caught.

Combining the fragmented memories with the current situation, Li Mu had a plan. It seemed that the person who stabbed someone in his previous life was one of these thugs, and they definitely had knives. He needed to be cautious to avoid a repeat of the past.

These thugs were originally very aggressive, but seeing so many people, they became a bit intimidated. The one holding the mop pointed at the crowd and shouted, "This is none of your business, all of you get lost!"

Facing so many people, these small-time thugs were already unsure of themselves but still tried to act tough, which only enraged Li Mu and his drunk classmates, who rushed forward to fight.

The thugs realized they had made a mistake. Normally, they wouldn't have cared about these high school students, but now, seeing that they were all drunk and ready to fight, they couldn't scare them off.

The thug with the mop immediately threw it aside and pulled out a butterfly knife from his waist, pointing the sharp blade at the front row of students.

"Back off, or I'll stab anyone who comes forward!"

The thug had also had some drinks and, seeing so many people rushing over, seemed to lose his cool.

Li Mu's classmates, with their adrenaline pumping, only thought about fighting and rushed forward regardless.

The few female classmates who had come out were terrified. They hadn't drunk and knew how serious it was for the other side to use a knife.

The thug with the butterfly knife was also flustered. Seeing the crowd rush over, he swung the knife without a word.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the side and, before he could turn to look, a beer bottle exploded on his head. He felt a sharp pain and almost fell over.

It was Li Mu who had acted.

Bringing a beer bottle had been useful. He had approached from the side, caught the thug off guard, and smashed the beer bottle on his head. Blood immediately flowed down his face.

Then, before anyone could react, Li Mu grabbed the thug's wrist holding the knife, twisted it with both hands, and heard a crack as he broke the thug's wrist. The thug dropped the knife in pain.

Li Mu quickly picked up the butterfly knife, looked at the other four thugs, and saw that they had no weapons. He kicked the thug with the bloody head to the ground and, angry at their bullying, shouted at the male classmates behind him, "All of you, attack! Break their arms if they fight back!"
