Chapter 47: Unable to Resist at All
Just as Qing Liao was about to take a bath, her special phone tone suddenly rang.
It was a peculiar sound—Qing Liao hadn’t heard it in ages.
She remembered setting this unique notification for only one person.
“Could it be…?”
Qing Liao’s mind quickly conjured up the image of a cute little figure. She walked over and picked up her phone to take a look.
It was from a special contact:
【Qing Liao~ Guess where I am?】
“Night Star?”
The text made Qing Liao’s mind drift slightly. She had no idea how long it had been since she last messaged Night Star. Perhaps four or five years.
For that long, this was the first time Night Star had reached out.
Qing Liao always kept Night Star in her heart. After all, just recently, Night Star had been posting those enchanting songs online—how could she possibly forget?
“Singing like a star, yet operating as a mere web songstress—it’s a bit lazy for a songstress, really. Hardly any new songs at all!”
Qing Liao mumbled to herself, quickly listing the flaws in her head.
She figured if Night Star put in more effort, joined a reliable company, and grabbed more resources, she’d become the next world-renowned songstress easily.
But Night Star seemed to have no intention of doing so, which she proved by continuing to post music online.
Shaking off her thoughts, Qing Liao began carefully analyzing the message Night Star sent.
The hint about guessing where she was seemed suspicious.
After all those silent years, a vague message like that was quite a challenge.
Qing Liao suppressed her urge to reply with a barrage of complaints and typed back.
【Where are you?】
【Guess! It won’t hurt anyone to guess~】
【Still can’t guess!】
Qing Liao had no idea what game Night Star wanted to play, but seeing her finally take the initiative, her heart leaped joyfully.
But the other party decided against making Qing Liao guess.
【Why don’t you get up and open the door then?】
【What?】
【The hotel room door. Come open it and you’ll see!】
This made Qing Liao snap fully awake.
A terrifying suspicion swirled in her mind.
“No way…?”
Trusting Night Star, Qing Liao stood up and walked to the door. Her agent was resting in the next room, leaving her alone in here.
*gulp*
She swallowed nervously, looking at the door before her.
After a brief internal struggle, she swiftly opened the door.
Two figures stood there: a silver-haired loli and a white-haired girl.
Qing Liao instantly recognized them – it was Night Star and Kong Yu Bai.
“…..”
Qing Liao covered her mouth, her eyes widening in shock. This was impossible!
Night Star placed a finger to her lips.
“Shh~ Don’t say anything!”
“Uh-huh…” Qing Liao nodded without hesitation.
Then Night Star and Kong Yu Bai entered the room. No one noticed the unusual behavior.
Once inside and the door was locked, everything grew silent.
Night Star let out a sigh, smiling at the still-stunned Qing Liao. “Qing Liao, long time no see. Think of me?”
Qing Liao snapped out of it, instinctively replying, “Of course not. A world-class songstress is always busy—how could I think of anyone else?”
“Really now?”
The smile on Night Star’s face widened. It felt like old times.
Despite the years passing, Qing Liao’s sharp demeanor was still there. How nostalgic!
But Qing Liao would likely drop down into depression later for saying that and turn antisocial.
“Absolutely true!”
Seeing Night Star’s playful smile, Qing Liao panicked internally.
While she wasn’t sure why Night Star hadn’t aged, her personality remained the same.
In front of her, Qing Liao couldn’t treat Night Star like just another small loli.
Then Night Star moved closer, ready to pounce.
“I don’t believe it. Here, lick me to prove it.”
“No! That’s too much!”
Qing Liao’s face turned cherry-red, clearly unable to handle Night Star’s enthusiasm.
As everyone knows, dealing with such arrogant behavior requires a shameless approach.
One needn’t take their verbal push-back seriously.
Of course, this only works among close friends.
Night Star took some time to figure out how to handle Qing Liao’s arrogance.
After all, becoming depressed means being incredibly unhappy, and Night Star didn’t want her friend feeling down.
Judging by Qing Liao’s response and the timeline matching with Kong Yu Bai’s, Qing Liao clearly hadn’t forgotten her—what a relief!
Night Star spread her arms, eagerly waiting for a hug.
To get an arrogant person to be honest, make them follow their true feelings.
In response, Qing Liao’s cheeks flushed rapidly. With visible difficulty, she whispered under her breath.
“Never! Even though Night Star’s still so small, we’re probably around the same age. How embarrassing? You should act your age. I’m a world songstress; I don’t just hug anyone, especially Night Star. Even if you try to act cute, I won’t do it. It’s not—definitely not…”
Her voice grew softer until it was barely audible.
Night Star didn’t budge from her hug position, determined to receive the embrace.
Seeing this, Qing Liao’s face reddened even deeper, her internal struggle evident.
What to do?
In her memory, Night Star had once been her greatest idol, soaring through the sky on gigantic stages, etching a profound impression on her.
Since then, Qing Liao wouldn’t forget Night Star.
Now, her greatest idol was seeking a hug in a cute manner.
Should she reject this?
Absolutely not!
Qing Liao mentally snapped, squatting and embracing Night Star’s soft body.
“Long time no see…”
“Hehe~ Honest Qing Liao is so cute. So, Miss World Songstress, eager to catch up? We’ve been apart for so long, you must have lots to say.”
“Yes, indeed… but let me hug you first for a while?”
“Huh?”
Oh no, the petite and soft loli might fall in love with the world songstress!
