Chapter 673: Humph, who allowed you to kiss me?

Chuxia was shocked and confused. The strange and handsome music company boss in front of her seemed like a familiar old friend, but she could not piece together the past he described in her memory.

Lin Lang looked at Chu Xia's confused and helpless appearance, sighed softly, and pretended to be disappointed: "It seems that time can really change a lot. Even Sister Chu Xia has forgotten me."

Chu Xia took two steps back embarrassedly, leaned against the door to calm down a little, and mustered up the courage to say: "Director Lin, you are not trying to take advantage of me, are you? I, I am not a frivolous girl."

There was both vigilance and a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.

Lin Lang smiled gently and said, "Sister Chuxia, you misunderstood. Since you can't remember me, I will help you recall it."

"When I was a kid, my mother once took me to her best friend Guan Tingmei's house to play. It just so happened that you, Chu Xia, were also playing at Aunt Mei's house that day. You are only one year older than me, and we had a lot of fun at Aunt Guan's house that day."

Chu Xia's eyes were full of surprise, and she said in astonishment: "Guan Tingmei is my uncle's ex-wife, and you actually know my ex-aunt!"

Lin Lang continued, "Yes, Aunt Mei is my mother's best friend."

"When you were little, you were like a beautiful little princess. You left a very deep impression on me. Your smile was very sweet. Even after so many years, I can still remember it clearly."

"I remember the day I met you at Mei's house, you were wearing a pink princess dress and a bow hairpin. As soon as we met, you gave me a peach-flavored lollipop. In my impression, you also taste like peach."

Chu Xia heard this and exclaimed, "Oh my God, I remember now! You are the naughty Xiao Lang who came to play at my aunt's house that year!"

"I never imagined that a naughty little boy like him would become a wealthy businessman with several companies under his name."

Chuxia's eyes were full of disbelief, and memories came flooding back like a tide. The image of the little boy who used to laugh and play with her and the handsome, wealthy and domineering president in front of her gradually overlapped and separated.

Lin Lang looked at Chu Xia's reaction, his smile deepened, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and teased: "Why, in Sister Chu Xia's heart, I can only be a naughty kid?"

Chuxia completely let down all her defenses, and the innocent memories of the past surged into her heart like a warm current, making her eyes become exceptionally gentle.

Chu Xia seemed to be driven by an invisible force. She raised her hand involuntarily and gently pinched Lin Lang's cheek. She squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly, "Xiao Lang, I never thought you would become so handsome when you grow up!"

"When I was little, I thought you were a cute little boy. I didn't expect that after so many years, you are still the same as when you were little, so cute that I can't help but want to pinch your face."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Chu Xia realized belatedly that the man in front of her whose face she had pinched was not the little boy she played with back then, but her future boss of a music company.

"Uh……"

Chuxia suddenly felt like a child who had done something wrong. Her face felt hot and she quickly retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted. She looked like a frightened deer, flustered and embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I pinched your cheek because I lost my temper. Are you angry?"

Instead of being angry, Lin Lang thought Chu Xia looked extremely cute.

He also raised his hand and gently pinched Chu Xia's cheek, smiling and teasing: "Why would I be angry with Sister Chu Xia?"

"We are childhood playmates. Don't be so restrained in front of me. Just treat me as a good friend you haven't seen for many years. This way, you will feel more comfortable and at ease when you get along with me."

After hearing this, Chu Xia raised her eyes slightly, mustered up the courage to meet Lin Lang's burning eyes, her cheeks flushed, and asked with a hint of shyness: "Then, should I call you Xiao Lang, or should I call you Director Lin?"

Lin Lang raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a charming smile, and replied without hesitation: "When there are outsiders, you can call me Director Lin. When it's just the two of us, I'll call you Sister Chuxia and you can call me Xiaolang, okay?"

After hearing this, Chuxia felt relieved. A bright smile instantly appeared on her face, and the tension and uneasiness in her heart disappeared at this moment.

Then, Chu Xia nodded gently, with a sparkling light in her eyes, and said softly: "Okay, then it's settled."

Lin Lang turned and walked to the wine cabinet nearby, took out two exquisite crystal glasses, poured two glasses of red wine, shook them gently, and handed one of the glasses to Chu Xia, "Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate our long-awaited reunion."

Chu Xia took the wine glass a little awkwardly, and her fingers accidentally touched Lin Lang's hand. She shrank as if she had been electrocuted, and her cheeks became even redder.

"Reunion after a long absence."

Chu Xia shyly clinked glasses with Lin Lang and pretended to take a sip of red wine, trying to calm her inner turmoil.

The reason why Chuxia just pretended to take a sip of red wine but didn't actually let the wine touch her lips was because her parents had taught her to be wary of others and not to drink alcohol given by strangers.

After all, Chu Xia hadn't seen Lin Lang for many years and didn't know the current Lin Lang at all.

After taking a sip of red wine, Lin Lang asked with a smile: "I never thought that after so many years, I would unexpectedly meet Sister Chu Xia in the Super Girl talent show. How have you been these years?"

Chu Xia smiled faintly and replied softly, "Actually, I'm doing fine. I'm now an elementary school music teacher. Because I love singing very much, I signed up for Super Girl."

At this point, Chu Xia's eyes flashed with disappointment. She lowered her head slightly and said with some frustration: "But my results are not satisfactory. I didn't even make it into the top three in the Shanghai Division. You won't laugh at me, will you?"

Lin Lang looked at Chu Xia's slightly lost look, his eyes full of heartache and encouragement, and said seriously: "How could that be? Your voice and singing style are very recognizable. It's those judges who don't know how to appreciate your talent."

"Now I am your Bole, are you willing to be my thousand-mile horse?"

When Chu Xia heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, and the haze of loss in her eyes was swept away.

She looked at Lin Lang with a smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and replied impatiently: "Of course I do!"

"You don't know, when I heard that Maitian Music wanted to sign me as a singer, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep last night."

"I have always longed for the opportunity to sign a contract with a music company and become a professional singer. I didn't expect this opportunity to come to me like this. It was you, Xiaolang, who gave it to me. I am really grateful."

Lin Lang looked at Chu Xia's excitement and started laughing. He picked up the wine glass, shook it gently, and said, "Sister Chu Xia, no matter what difficulties you encounter on the road of music in the future, don't be afraid. I will always support you."

After saying that, he raised his glass, clinked it with Chu Xia again, and drank it all in one gulp.

Chu Xia was deeply moved after hearing this, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Director Lin, ah no, Xiao Lang, thank you so much, I don't know how to thank you."

"Sister Chuxia, don't be so distant with me. You have talent and it should be seen."

"After you officially sign with Maitian Music, I will tailor songs for you and help you prepare an album. I believe that it won't be long before you can stand on your own stage and shine."

Chu Xia's eyes were slightly red with excitement. She nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Xiao Lang. I will definitely work hard and will not let you down."

Lin Lang began to follow the routine, with the corners of his mouth raised to outline a charming smile, and asked: "Sister Chuxia, I once wrote a song for you, do you want to listen to it now?"

Chu Xia's eyes widened, full of surprise and curiosity. She leaned forward slightly and said in surprise, "Really? Xiao Lang, you actually wrote a song for me! Of course I want to listen to it."

"Of course it's true. I'm going to sing for you now."

Lin Lang put down the red wine glass, walked to the corner of the office, picked up the guitar, and returned to Chu Xia. He plucked the strings with his slender fingers and continued, "The name of this song is "Ningxia". I wrote it many years ago when I suddenly thought of you."

"At that time, I always recalled the good times I spent with you when we were children, so I got the inspiration." His voice was soft and soothing, as if he was talking about a precious memory.

Chu Xia's eyes lit up after hearing this. She couldn't help but clap her hands and said expectantly, "Wow, I'm all ears."

Lin Lang gently pressed the strings with his left hand, and began to pluck the strings skillfully with his right hand. The light and familiar melody of the song "Ningxia" slowly flowed out.

The melody was light and warm, with a hint of longing, as if it could make people see the scene of them playing together in their childhood.

Lin Lang's voice is deep and magnetic. In this quiet office, every note is infinitely magnified and his singing is full of tenderness.

"In the quiet summer, the sky is dotted with stars, and my heart is filled with longing, longing for your face..." While singing, Lin Lang looked up at Chuxia from time to time.

The moment their eyes met, Chu Xia felt her heartbeat suddenly quicken and her cheeks became hotter.

Her eyes followed Lin Lang's soulful singing closely, with an intoxicated look on her face, as if the whole world was left with only the two of them and this moving song.

After the song was over, Lin Lang's fingers slowly stopped and the office fell into a brief silence.

Chu Xia was so moved that she clapped her hands vigorously, tears of excitement flashing in her eyes: "This song is so beautiful! I didn't expect you to sing so well. I can't believe that you wrote such a touching song for me."

Just when Chu Xia was still deeply moved and savoring the tenderness in the song, Lin Lang suddenly moved close to her, and with gentle but irresistible force, he planted a kiss on Chu Xia's cheek.

This sudden action made Chu Xia's eyes widen instantly, her eyes full of shock and disbelief.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Chu Xia came back to her senses and a blush quickly appeared on her face, spreading from her cheeks to her ears.

She reached out her hand in a panic and wiped the face that Lin Lang had kissed. Her voice trembled slightly, and she said with a hint of anger and shyness: "Xiao Lang, why are you still taking advantage of me?"

"Huh, who allowed you to kiss me?"
