Chapter 4: Midnight Singing Event

  Tang Zheng was He Xiu's university classmate. Back in university, thinking that the school clubs were not very interesting, he established a music club on his own. There were people who sang, played musical instruments, and engaged in creative work in the club, and He Xiu was also dragged into it.

  It was originally thought that this small group would disband after everyone graduated. However, many years had passed, and although everyone was busy with their own affairs, with Tang Zheng's perseverance, the club not only didn't disband but also grew stronger and stronger, becoming a well-known online music team.

  He Xiu looked at the time and said to Tang Zheng on the other end of the phone, "I haven't forgotten. I'm still at the company and will go home soon."

  Tang Zheng was a bit worried. "Will you make it in time? The number of online users is already almost 50,000. Many of them are waiting for you!"

  "Don't worry. Given how talkative Big J is, the singing event definitely won't end on time."

  Tang Zheng: "..."

  He actually found it impossible to refute.

  "Then hurry up. If you renege on your promise, the girls will go on a rampage."

  "Yeah, so stop wasting my time."

  Tang Zheng: "..."

  He hung up the phone with a "snap".

  Nearing eleven o'clock, Lin Zhen was still sitting on the sofa in Jian Yan's home, listening to the singing event. Jian Yan had already taken a shower and was now sitting beside her, writing and drawing in a notebook.

  "Today is my first day at Xingguang Department Store, and I was assigned to the Dream Wardrobe. I think this is a really great sales area. There are clothes of various prices and styles here, allowing me to come into contact with all kinds of customers..."

  She carefully recalled the things that were worth recording today, and these would all become valuable materials for her in the future. Suddenly, the host of the singing event raised his voice by eight decibels, which sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet night. "Ahhhh, I saw it. The person you've been waiting for is online!"

  As soon as his voice fell, even Lin Zhen perked up. "Is Mr. Nan Si here?"

  Jian Yan turned her head to look at her. "It's already late at night. Please don't make a noise."

  Lin Zhen smiled and made a gesture of sealing her mouth with a strip.

  She quieted down, but the host's garrulous voice continued. "Okay, don't get excited. He hasn't been invited to Microphone 2 yet. You've almost blown up the public screen. Ugh, I'm so angry. I won't invite him up. Let's chat for another ten minutes."

  "Damn, Big J is getting more and more annoying," Lin Zhen muttered softly and started typing away on the keyboard.

  "You little fairies are really so heartbreaking. I've hosted for you for so long, and yet you say such things. Wuwuwu," Big J whined pitifully a few times before returning to normal. "Okay, Mr. Nan Si, say hello to everyone."

  There was a moment of silence on YY, and then a man's voice came. "Good evening, everyone. I'm Nan Si."

  Jian Yan's hand that was writing stopped. She really couldn't believe that she could hear the voices of two such nice-sounding men in one day.

  "The public screen is going crazy. You little girls, be more reserved," Big J's voice sounded again. "Those who are brushing for me to leave, don't think I didn't see it! Okay, I'll go!"

  After the host stepped down, it became Nan Si's show. "Well, I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting. I just got off work."

  Jian Yan quietly leaned over and watched as a row of messages scrolled rapidly across the public screen.

  "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, hubby!"

  "Hubby, you've been working so hard. Don't go to work anymore. I'll support you!"

  "Hubby, you're talking nonsense. You clearly just got out of my bed!"

  "Ahhhhhhh, hubby, kiss me, hug me, and lift me up high!"

  Jian Yan: "..."

  She thought the host was right. These girls really should be more reserved.

  Nan Si said, "It's so late today. I'll sing a lyrical song. I'd like to present a song called 'She Doesn't Love Me' to everyone. I hope you'll like it."

  The soothing prelude slowly started, and Nan Si's magnetic voice followed. "She doesn't love me. It's too cold when we hold hands. When we hug, we're not close enough..."

  This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

  Nan Si's voice wasn't exactly soft. In the words of the industry, it was a typical dominant voice. But it was strange that his singing had the magic to make even winter feel warm.

  "I know she doesn't love me. Her eyes reveal her heart..."

  When he sang the chorus part, that feeling of being soothed deep in the heart came again, just like the feeling He Xiu gave her when he spoke today.

  The messages on the public screen swept across one after another like machine gunfire. Unfortunately, the time for one song was too short, and there was simply no time for them to pour out their love for the singer.

  Jian Yan was also completely immersed in Nan Si's singing within these short four minutes, as if she had experienced a fleeting love affair.

  "Isn't it so beautifully sung?!" The host Big J's voice brought everyone back to their senses. "But today you've finally come. We can't let you leave after just singing one song, right?"

  The word "right" scrolled uniformly across the public screen.

  Big J said, "Do you see everyone's heartfelt wishes? Do you have anything else you want to say?"

  Nan Si said, "Thank you all for the gifts you sent."

  "Is that all?! Mr. Nan Si, let me tell you, don't think you can get away with this so easily."

  Nan Si laughed and asked, "Then what else do you want to hear?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, "Microphone Kiss" and "Majestic and Dignified" started to be scrolled on the public screen.

  Big J coughed and said, "Well, I think a Microphone Kiss is impossible. Mr. Nan Si has never given a Microphone Kiss before, and 'Majestic and Dignified'... is even more impossible. How about this? Everyone knows that Mr. Nan Si is extremely good at imitating voices. Let him give us an authoritative female voice."

  "Hahaha, well done, Big J!" Lin Zhen excitedly slapped the table. Jian Yan glanced at her, and she immediately sat up obediently.

  Nan Si was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice really turned into a magnificent authoritative female voice. "Little brother, do you want me to teach you some happy things?"

  "Ahhhhhhhhh." Lin Zhen couldn't control herself and screamed again, and a row of "ah" and "happy things" scrolled across the public screen.

  Jian Yan was amazed again. Was this really the voice he produced?

  Even Big J went crazy along with it. "Mrs. Nan Si, Mr. Nan Si! This is really so nice!"

  Jian Yan: "..."

  What on earth is all this? It's so dirty that I can't bear to listen.

  Big J took a moment to calm down and then put forward a new request to Nan Si. "The authoritative female voice passed. This time, we want a super soothing bass voice that's off the charts!"

  Nan Si said, "This is no challenge at all for me." Here he paused slightly and then said in a deep and charming voice, "Good night, little fairies."

  After he finished speaking, the word "ah" filled the screen as if it had its own sound effect, almost overflowing from the screen.

  "Oh my god, it's so soothing. I'm so smart that I turned on the recording!" Big J laughed heartily. "But why only flirt with the public screen? Say good night to Big J too!"

  Nan Si said, "In front of so many ladies, I really don't want to call such an impure name."

  Big J wasn't convinced. "You clearly even said such a dirty thing as 'happy things'!"

  "What's so dirty about 'happy things'? It's you who are dirty."

  "… Okay, then can I ask why you're so good at imitating voices?"

  Nan Si thought for a moment. "Maybe it's because I'm good-looking."

  "..." Big J was silent for three seconds. "Since you're so good-looking, do you dare to say something in your original voice?"

  "Hmm? This is my original voice right now."

  "I don't believe it at all." Big J's voice was full of doubt. "Okay, since Mr. Nan Si has already said good night, let's let him go for now. Goodbye, Mr. Nan Si~"

  "Goodbye, everyone."

  After Nan Si finished speaking, he left the microphone. The singing event was still going on, but Jian Yan no longer planned to listen. She picked up her pen and notebook and walked upstairs. "I'm going to bed first. You can keep listening."

  "Okay, sure." Lin Zhen glanced at her back and put on the earphones.

  After returning to her room, Jian Yan couldn't fall asleep no matter what. Her mind was full of Nan Si's voice. She had never had such a restless mood before, and before today, she hadn't realized that she was a voice control.

  "Damn it!" Jian Yan took off the sleeping mask, simply sat up in bed, and picked up the tablet on the bedside table and turned it on. She searched for Nan Si in the search bar and easily found his Weibo.

  "Over 800,000 followers," Jian Yan blinked. Looking at his profile, it said, "Busy. For work matters, please contact. Only accept songs that I'm interested in."

  Huh, he seems quite prestigious.

  Nan Si didn't update his Weibo very often. The most recent post was from half a month ago, and the comments were all from fans urging him to update. His Weibo content was also very simple, either posting songs or sharing photos of food or scenery.

  "This is in City A, right?" Jian Yan looked at the buildings in the photo as if she was thinking about something. She browsed through his homepage and found an audio he uploaded below, which was an original song.

  Both the lyricist and composer were the same as Nan Si's name. Jian Yan put on the earphones and clicked play, and her restless heart finally gradually calmed down in his singing.

  This person is addictive.

  She didn't remember how many times she put the song on a loop. Anyway, when she got up the next morning, the tablet was out of power.

  She tidied herself up and went downstairs to work. Lin Zhen's high-heeled shoes were still placed at her doorstep, indicating that she hadn't left yet. Jian Yan didn't have time to care about her and picked up the car keys and went out.

  Xingguang Department Store opens for business at nine o'clock in the morning, but employees need to punch in at eight twenty, and a regular morning meeting will officially start at eight thirty. Jian Yan met Xiao Shao, whom she had met briefly yesterday, in front of the time clock. Xiao Shao recognized her at a glance and greeted her warmly. "Good morning, beautiful lady."

  Jian Yan pursed her lips slightly and forced a smile at him.

  Because of her abnormal mood last night, she thought that her androphobia had suddenly gotten better. Now it seemed that wasn't the case.

  After punching in, she quickly left. She thought that maybe it was too late last night, so she had been so emotional.

  When she walked to the Dream Wardrobe, Jian Yan found that the mannequin in front of the Bunny counter had been dressed in new styles of clothing. She was taken aback for a moment and walked up to ask her colleague beside her, "What is this...?"

  "Ah, these are the collaborative styles launched by Bunny and Tangzhi. You know Tangzhi, right? She's that very famous cartoonist, and these clothes are all the ones she drew in her comics."

  "Um... I know that, but are these clothes going on sale today?"

  "Yeah, Bunny's official website and Tangzhi's Weibo announced the launch information at the same time yesterday."

  Jian Yan was completely confused. Huh?
