Zhou Xuan's "magnanimity" made Gu Ling feel relieved at heart.
The two chatted for a while longer,
and then Bai Guang and Si Yuer arrived.
Si Yuer was straightforward and greeted Gu Ling upon seeing her: "Sister Ling, has your incense been burning well?"
"It's burning brightly. With the Young Master here, how could it not?"
Gu Ling glanced at the bashful Bai Guang, sizing her up from head to toe, and said, "Your figure and looks are great, but your personality seems a bit too reserved."
"Personality is indeed an issue, but even with reservations, there's a style of singing to match," Zhou Xuan said, then asked Gu Ling if there was a place to try out singing.
"Of course there is."
Gu Ling led Zhou Xuan, Si Yuer, and Bai Guang to her lounge.
When it came to trial performances, Gu Ling was a professional—she herself was an exceptional songstress.
Once inside the lounge, Gu Ling asked Bai Guang to sing a song.
