While she was speaking, she kept affectionately stroking Alvin’s hair, like she was petting a little puppy, appearing particularly generous and magnanimous.

As she stroked Alvin’s head, she earnestly advised him, "Actually Alvin, you’re handsome, young, and still a Prince. You could have many women! Just one word from you and many women would be willing to submit to you! Why are you so fixated on my Xiaoran?

She’s already married, and it’s a military marriage, with kids, twins no less! If you cause trouble, that’s utterly immoral and wicked! Why put yourself through this, right?

If you like women in the Empire, how about I introduce a few to you? You can pick any figure you like, I’m sure there’s one you’ll fancy, how about it?"

"Are you a pimp?" Alvin gave her an annoyed look, knowing she was too drunk to talk to, but he couldn’t help but retort.

"Watch your words." Nangong Lin glared at him, waving her fists, "Anyway, I’m warning you, if you have improper thoughts about Xiaoran, I’ll be the first not to let you go. Have you seen fists as big as sandbags?"

Alvin didn’t want to pay her any mind, laid her on the bed, and pulled a blanket over her, covering her with a corner, "How about you stop worrying about me and take care of yourself first, alright? Rest up, I’m going back."

"Don’t go!" Nangong Lin grabbed Alvin’s hand.

Alvin turned his eyes to meet her pitiful face, and said, "Sing with me for a bit."

Then Nangong Lin pulled Alvin to sing together, singing for who knows how long, and Alvin really couldn’t take it anymore, it was practically an assault on his ears.

The key issue was that as she sang, she gestured wildly, her movements were ugly, and her voice was terribly off-key.

Alvin kept watching her, observing her various performances, finally he couldn’t help but put his finger on her lips, "Stop singing, let me sing for you."

"If I should stay. If I stay.

I would only be in Ur way. I would just be in your way. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

So I’ll go. So I’ll leave.

But I know. But I know.

I’ll think of U every step of the way. Every step I take, I’ll think of you.

And I will always love U! So I will always love you!

I will always love U! I will always love you!

U, my darling U! You, my darling baby!

Bitter sweet memories. Bittersweet memories.

That is all I’m taking with me. Is the only thing I take with me.

So goodbye, please don’t cry. Goodbye, please don’t cry.

We both know I’m not what U need. We both know I’m not what you need.

And I will always love U ! So I will always love you!"

One must admit, Alvin’s voice was really beautiful, after all, he’s a professional singer.

Nangong Lin couldn’t describe it, just felt it was of a master’s level, even though it was just soft humming, the emotion was incredibly full, the tone very beautiful, the pitch very on point, truly very, very pleasant to hear.

Nangong Lin surprisingly quieted down as she listened, involuntarily looking at him.

Even though her head was still a bit heavy, she still saw Alvin’s handsome features, his charming demeanor, especially when he was singing, it’s a feeling that’s indescribable, like being stunned!

Nangong Lin stared blankly at him, until she belatedly felt her eyes slightly wet, damn, his singing actually moved her!

"Was this sung for my sister?" Nangong Lin mumbled in a haze, asking.

Alvin turned his eyes to her, silent, and finally answered, "No, this was sung for myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Lin’s even breathing came, she had fallen asleep again in seconds.
