Chapter 35: Sharing the Melody
The Next Day.
Night Lan woke up early and went to knock on her neighbor’s door.
Dong dong dong!
“Mo Tu, get up! I have something good to show you!”
A moment later, the door opened.
A black-haired man with a straight face looked at the black-haired loli standing at the door, and his mouth twitched slightly.
“Aren’t you a little too eager to come knocking? How about letting people sleep?”
Night Lan was as bold as ever, looking like she was completely in the right.
“At your age, how can you even sleep? Lazy sleeping is no good! You need to get up and build the country!”
Mo Tu rolled his eyes and leaned against the door.
“Well? What do you want?”
Seeing that he went straight to the point, Night Lan pulled out a portable tape recorder and handed it to him.
“I have a song for you to listen to!”
“Oh?”
Mo Tu had a doubtful expression, took the tape recorder from Night Lan and put the headphones on.
After pressing the play button, a familiar voice quickly resonated.
Mo Tu narrowed his eyes, humming along while recalling something.
After a few minutes, he took off the headphones and asked, “What did you record this voice for?”
Night Lan didn’t answer and instead peered curiously at him. “Anything wrong with you? Feeling unwell?”
“Huh?” Mo Tu was puzzled at first but quickly realized, getting a sweat drop on his forehead.
“d*mn, you’re treating me like a lab rat now, huh?”
“Don’t mind those details. Tell me if there are any adverse effects on the average person?”
Mo Tu sighed and returned the tape recorder to Night Lan.
“No, you can be at ease.”
“That’s great! Well, I’m off then, thank you for your help!”
Saying that, Night Lan turned and left, leaving Mo Tu bewildered in the wind.
“d*mn, when did she become such an annoyance?”
Who’s responsible for turning this obedient loli into such a pest?
Is it life? Is it the world? Or is it moral decay?
Wait, could it be that she only acts this way towards him?
“Forget it, it’s kind of interesting.”
It wasn’t just this, Mo Tu was also very curious about how things would progress.
Without his involvement, what interesting trouble would these two loli cause each other?
This was something to look forward to.
…
Night Lan arrived at the Night Watcher Base and went straight to find Bai Yu and Zero Meow.
“Bai Yu! Zero Meow! I have something good to share with you!”
Zero Meow, who was busy drawing, looked up with confusion.
“What is it, meow? Is it some lewd pictures?”
“No, meow.”
Upon hearing this, Zero Meow revealed an uninterested expression and lowered her head to continue drawing.
“If not, then it’s not interesting, meow.”
Bai Yu wasn’t as laid-back as Zero Meow and seemed quite intrigued by whatever Night Lan wanted to share.
“Then what is it? I’m excited.”
Night Lan sat down and eagerly pulled out the tape recorder, almost ready to share it with them immediately.
“It’s actually a song.”
Hearing this, Zero Meow shot a glance over.
“A song? What song? Is it the new song by Qing Liao Songstress?”
Night Lan shook her head. “Nope, you wouldn’t know.”
Zero Meow put down her drawing board and looked proud.
“Since you insist, let me hear it then. This cat is very strict; if it’s a bad song, I might criticize it.”
Night Lan ignored Zero Meow and gave her one of the earphones.
“Hehe~ You listen first and think of what to say.”
Bai Yu also leaned over, picking up an earphone to listen.
The room fell silent. Bai Yu and Zero Meow sat motionless, listening to the music.
Night Lan waited on the side, feeling somewhat nervous and uncertain.
After all, sharing a troupe member’s work with others for the first time—she couldn’t be anything but nervous.
She was only brave enough to share it with Bai Yu and Zero Meow, who were her close little loli friends. As for the others, well, forget it.
Sure, that experimental subject neighbor doesn’t count.
“Mmm…”
Listening through the earphones, Zero Meow’s eyes lit up.
Geez, what a nice voice!
Even though there were no lyrics, the melody and emotion in the voice were so captivating, instantly immersing Zero Meow into it.
If she had to describe it, it rivaled the great Qing Liao Songstress.
“Uwah~”
After finishing the song, Zero Meow took off the earphones with anticipation and stared at Night Lan.
“What’s the name of this songstress? I need to follow her. Such a moving voice that I’ve only discovered now—what a shame! Does she have more songs?”
Night Lan shook her head.
“I’m afraid it disappoints you—she’s not a songstress, just a friend.”
“Huh?”
Zero Meow widened her eyes, shocked.
“What a pity that such talent isn’t made a songstress. If she became one, she might perform alongside Qing Liao Songstress!”
“You think so highly of her singing?”
“Hmph~ Do you think I’m just anyone? Although I’m still young as a Night Watcher, I have plenty of experience as a music critic. With my years of cultivated musical sense, this voice will surely make her famous once she starts performing!”
Bai Yu took off her earphones, agreeing with Zero Meow.
“Um~ I don’t know her level in the industry, but I agree that her singing should win over many fans.”
After hearing that, Night Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew someone else would recognize the singer’s talent.
It’s not just for one “audience performer,” or it’d be wasted.
Then, Zero Meow excitedly grabbed Night Lan’s hand. “Night Lan, persuade your friend to start performing! I want to be her first fan. If she gives concerts later, I’ll definitely be there!”
Night Lan chuckled gracefully.
“This… I’ll mention it to her. If she doesn’t want to, there’s nothing I can do.”
“Let me persuade her then. Once she knows the benefits, she’ll definitely agree!”
“Oh… She isn’t available to meet now.”
“Really? That’s such a pity. I was looking forward to meeting her too. Oh well…”
Zero Meow sat down dejectedly, wearing the earphones, probably cycling through the songs again.
Such high-quality music deserves multiple listens. It’s rare, man. Combine it with a good track, and it could go viral online.
Given the resources, another world-famous singer might emerge.
“Hehe~” Night Lan just laughed without a word.
Just then, her Night Watcher device rang, announcing some special notification.
Night Lan looked at it, tilted her head.
“Meeting?”
