Chapter 142: New Song

"Hey, Taylor, over here!"

Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, an open-air cafe.

Taylor heard someone calling from the second-floor terrace, picked up her sunglasses, and glanced up. It was her friend Blake Lively waving at her. She handed her shopping bags to her assistant Emily and walked up to the second floor.

Today, the second floor of the Italian cafe was reserved, with only a group of celebrities drinking coffee and chatting on the terrace.

The group included Hollywood actress Blake Lively, rising star Kristen Stewart, pop singer Katy Perry, Emma Roberts, supermodel Doutzen Kroes, and their boyfriends chatting on the other side.

"Hi, Taylor!"

Everyone greeted her.

Taylor was more familiar with Blake, Katy Perry, and Doutzen Kroes.

She also knew the others.

Emma Roberts was the niece of famous actress Julia Roberts, and Kristen Stewart became popular last year with the movie "Twilight."

They were all currently popular stars.

"Taylor, why didn't you bring Link along? Are you afraid we'll steal him away?"

Blake Lively joked as she pulled Taylor to sit down.

Everyone laughed.

Taylor also smiled slightly. Not bringing Link out was indeed partly due to that reason. None of these women were simple, and Link was quite attractive, so it was safer to be cautious.

She glanced at the men in the corner and smiled, "You didn't tell me I could bring my boyfriend. I thought it was just a girls' gathering."

"Haha, that's right. This is our girls' event, so they can only sit over there."

Blake Lively said, gesturing towards the men.

Blake Lively was a popular Hollywood actress, 22 years old this year, born into a family of Hollywood actors. She rose to fame in 2005 with the movie "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" and currently starred in the second season of the popular TV series "Gossip Girl." She had high popularity in the industry, and this gathering was also initiated by her.

Blake had a tall figure, beautiful appearance, and a small mole on her cheek, which was also very recognizable.

Taylor had known her since last year, and they often hung out. She was one of Taylor's closer friends.

"What are you guys talking about?"

Taylor asked, taking the coffee and crossing her long legs.

"Talking about your boyfriend!"

Kristen said without looking up. She had short blonde hair, a lollipop in her mouth, her legs propped up on the table, and was playing games on her phone, as if she wasn't here for the gathering but just to play games in a different place.

Blake Lively and the others looked at her helplessly. Although they were talking about Link just now, was it really appropriate to say it directly in front of Taylor?

"Link? What's there to talk about him?"

Taylor asked with a smile, not minding.

Blake smiled, "We're talking about how amazing your boyfriend is. He's a world boxing champion, a crossover singer with album sales of three to four million copies, even better than top singers. I heard he wrote all those songs himself, that's incredible."

"I love the song 'Despacito' the most. Every time I hear it, I want to dance. The rhythm is so great."

Emma Roberts swayed her shoulders, a pink headset hanging around her neck.

"Taylor, Link said in the news that he learned guitar and piano from you. Is that true?"

Katy Perry asked, wearing a white tank top, her chest also quite ample.

Taylor glanced at her chest, couldn't help but think of another woman with a large chest, and felt a bit unhappy.

"Yes, Link is very slow at learning music. I taught him for months before he could play the guitar."

"Really? So slow, yet he can write good songs like 'Despacito,' 'Dream It Possible,' and 'Unstoppable'?" Katy Perry was a bit skeptical.

Taylor shrugged, "He's very talented, learns things very quickly, and has a super good sense of music, even better than me."

"I see, your boyfriend is a genius, so enviable."

Blake Lively praised, holding Taylor's arm.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"What you were talking about just now wasn't this. You were discussing how strong Link is in that aspect."

Kristen suddenly said while playing with her phone.

The scene suddenly fell silent, awkwardness filling the air.

Even Blake Lively and the others, who were used to big scenes, couldn't help but blush at this moment, feeling very regretful. Knowing that Kristen was a conversation killer, why did they invite her? This was like placing a time bomb at their own gathering.

Blake Lively glared at Kristen, who was sucking on her lollipop, playing games with a clattering sound, completely oblivious.

Taylor blinked her blue eyes and said nonchalantly, "He is indeed very strong in that aspect. It's not a secret, it's okay to talk about it."

"Haha, I told you Taylor wouldn't mind. It's normal for girls to talk about this kind of thing together."

Katy Perry laughed.

Blake was a bit helpless. It was Katy Perry who brought up the topic first.

She even said that she personally asked Amber Heard about the size, duration, and knockout, the topic being quite explicit.

Seeing that everyone was interested in that matter, she didn't stop it.

Who knew Kristen would blurt it out in front of Taylor.

She glared at Kristen again, annoyed, and tried to change the topic, starting to talk about fashion, perfume, beauty, and movies, trying to make the conversation less awkward.

After working hard for most of an hour, the atmosphere at the coffee table became lively again, everyone talking and laughing like good sisters.

"Ah! Look, everyone!"

Suddenly, Kristen, who hadn't spoken for a long time, shouted again.

Blake Lively's heart trembled. This tomboy wouldn't be saying something inappropriate again, would she?

Kristen took the lollipop out of her mouth, removed her headphones, and pointed at her phone screen.

"Link released a new song, it's very good. Listen quickly, this song is definitely his best one yet."

"Where?"

Taylor asked in surprise, she didn't know Link was releasing a new song today.

"Link opened a Twitter account, there's a video link on Twitter."

Kristen said.

Everyone took out their phones and opened Twitter, quickly finding Link's account.

Link's Twitter account was newly registered.

Taylor was surprised to find that there were already 217,000 followers. When she clicked follow, the number changed to 231,000, increasing at a rate of several thousand people per second.

There was only one message on Link's Twitter.

It said, 'I'm very sorry for taking up everyone's public resources recently. I saw many people on the internet and media asking me to come forward and apologize. I want to say that I can apologize, but first give me a reason to apologize. Tell me what I did wrong, what I said wrong, why should I apologize? To whom should I apologize?'

Below this tweet, there was a YouTube link.

Before clicking on the link, Taylor looked at the comments from netizens.

Most of them were accusations and insults, some asking him to apologize to Kanye, some asking him to apologize to all dark-skinned groups, saying that his sentence 'They think because the current president is black, America has become a black world' hurt the dignity of the black community and he must apologize.

There were also many netizens who left messages supporting Link, saying that Link was not wrong, it was those people who were too aggressive, and they told Link to hold on and not apologize.

Taylor read through them, feeling a bit surprised.

These days, when she was at home, she was either writing songs in her room, practicing piano and guitar with Link, or playing around with him. She rarely read newspapers or went online.

And Link, every day, went jogging, training, practicing piano, cooking, reading, just like before. He was too calm, which also made her mistakenly think that there was really nothing wrong, completely unaware that things would develop like this, that it would be so serious.

So give me a reason to prove me wrong to wash this memory clean

Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes

Taylor was reading the comments when she suddenly heard a passionate and high-pitched singing voice. The voice was powerful, hoarse, like shouting and questioning the sky, making one's scalp tingle.

"This song is amazing, Link, I support you."

Emma Roberts shouted, holding her phone with red eyes.

"Link is so cool, he's the coolest man I've ever met."

Katy Perry said without hiding her feelings.

Taylor looked at the two of them and curiously clicked on the video link.

Thanks to the book friend Yue Hua for another reward, thank you very much for your support!
