Chapter 109: On the bulletin board

In the living room, Taylor was sitting on the sofa, holding a wooden guitar in his arms, playing the tune of "Despacito" tinklingly. When he saw the two people returning to the small living room, he pressed the strings and asked, "Are you there?" What to do?”

"Selena said you are so tall and she envies you." Link put down his backpack and smiled.

Selena glared at him with a bulging face, wanting to cover his mouth, but she couldn't do it even if she stretched out her hand.

"Envy me?"

Taylor looked at Selena in surprise and smiled, "I should be envious of you. How could you envy me? Do you think growing taller is good?"

"Isn't it good?" Selena asked sitting next to Taylor.

"No, I used to be a fat girl in school."

Taylor stopped and glanced at Link, "Girls chat, men please leave."

Link shrugged and went to the kitchen to make something for the two of them.

Taylor told Selena about her time in school. She used to be a little fat, a little hunchbacked, and often walked around the school carrying a big guitar. Everyone called her a weird girl, and no one wanted to talk to her. No one invited her to sit down for lunch at school, and she had almost no friends.

"It's not good to be too tall at all, Selena. I envy girls like you the most. You have a good figure, are pretty and cute, just like the princesses in fairy tales. Girls like you, no matter at home or You must be very popular in school, right?”

Taylor touched her fluffy braids and said enviously.

Selena blinked her big eyes and thought for a moment. She was the only daughter in the family, and she was pampered by an aunt. She was indeed very pampered at home.

It's the same at school. Because of her beauty, boys like to show off in front of her and want to date her. She is also the school's dancing queen and a star. Anyway, she has never been ignored since she was a child.

Thinking of this, she felt that it was really good for her to be like this, and she became more and more affectionate towards Taylor.

"Are we good sisters again?"

Link came out with a plate of cut fruit and saw the two of them laughing and joking together like good sisters. He couldn't help but feel that girls' emotions develop so quickly.

"Hmph! Link, you'd better not bully Taylor, or Taylor and I will beat you together."

Selina clenched her little fists and threatened him.

"I understand, you are a team."

Link smiled softly, sat down and listened to the two chatting, and then learned the guitar.

Selena is also a singer and can also play guitar. Although she is not as good as Taylor, she is much better than Link. She can play decently with a guitar on her shoulder.

So when Link was studying, Selina would be a student with Link and ask Taylor for advice. Then she would be a teacher with Taylor, criticizing Link for being too stupid and saying that she could play with her toes better than him.

In the afternoon, the Steinway piano store in New York sent a car to deliver the grand piano he ordered to his door, and he learned piano from Taylor.

Seeing these messy news, Link called Ivaca and asked if he wanted to come forward to clarify.

Ivaca said that she would not make a public explanation for the time being, and could use the scandal to promote the boxing match between him and Tyson in the future.

This is very beneficial to him personally and to Tompu Entertainment.

Link didn't object either.

However, a reporter from USA Today interviewed Mr. Thompson at a public event and asked him if he knew that Link and Eva Ka were dating.

Mr. Thompson said he didn't know. The reporter asked him if he would interfere if the two were dating.

Mr. Thompson said no generously and said he liked Link very much.

When this song became popular, many American record companies also extended olive branches to Link, hoping to cooperate with him and help him release records.

His song was able to appear on the Billboard without being promoted. If there is a professional team to promote and market it, there is a great chance that it will top the Latin Songs Chart and enter the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, or even higher.
