Chapter 116 - Master Jun Is Unhappy

[ I'm so envious… ]

[ Why isn't it me? Is it because I can't give you a Myriad of Stars? ]

[ He was able to get on the rankings with a single full stop. I typed twenty words to praise the broadcaster for being beautiful and I failed. Goodbye. ]

[ Boohoo. ]

The live-stream was filled with tearful expressions. The reason for this was the pause interface on the screen.

"Sheng : . "

On the other end of the screen, Xuan Sheng, who had his legs resting on the balcony, lazily drank a glass of red wine, was very surprised to see his name in the live-stream.

"Spectator named Sheng, please tell me your request in the live-stream."

As soon as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, a comment appeared in the live-stream. It was still the same word.

"You."

In the study, Jun Shiling frowned as he looked at the strange comment.

"Can this audience be more specific?" Xia Wanyuan also found it strange.

"Up to you." The user Sheng sent another comment. This time, it was no more than three words.

Xia Wanyuan was puzzled, but since she had already done the lucky draw, she had to continue.

Without many restrictions, Xia Wanyuan followed her heart. With the sound of flowing water and insects, she completely immersed herself in the zither music.

In the Xia Dynasty, the one who had taught Xia Wanyuan the zither was the extremely famous Master Tianyin.

Master Tianyin had a strange habit. He did not like the sound of the zither or the sound of the singing. He felt that profound zither music was enough to express everything in his heart. Xia Wanyuan had learned from him. Although she was not as stubborn as Master Tianyin, she had developed a habit.

Since the audience did not request anything, Xia Wanyuan simply played the zither and did not compose lyrics for it.

The sound of the zither was much gentler than before.

If one were to say that it was a storm just now, then it was the drizzle of pear blossoms in March.

The melody of the zither was originally cold, but in Xia Wanyuan's hands, it seemed to have softened, exuding a gentleness that seeped into her bones.

When one closed their eyes, it was as if they could feel a gentle breeze blowing past. The petals swayed with the wind and fell by their cheeks. A faint fragrance came from the tip of their nose. The sunlight was warm and shone on their bodies. Time was quiet.

Just as everyone was immersed in this beautiful scene, the string melody changed and a violent storm came. The high notes of the zither seemed to be lamenting and struggling.

However, this seemingly sudden passion did not last long. Slowly, it was entangled by an extreme gentleness. The sky returned to clarity, and water flowed. The sound of the zither also became the sound of flowing water, as if it had washed away the turmoil in the world.

In this song, it seemed to contain all the beauty in the world. After the song was over, everyone felt as if their hearts had been sunbathed by the spring sun.

It was filled with warmth.

[ It's really nice… I'm going to become a fan. ]

[ Can I say that this is the best ancient melody I've ever heard? Two songs with completely different styles, but they have the same moving power. ]

[ The person in front really knows how to praise. He's not like me who only knows how to say impressive. ]

[ Count me in as a fan too. I wonder if the faces of those people who said that Xia Wanyuan pretended to be cool and leaked the theme song hurt? ]

In front of the screen, Xuan Sheng, who had been leisurely drinking with his legs crossed, gradually stopped what he was doing and glanced at Xia Wanyuan, who was seriously playing the zither in the live-stream.

Then, he closed his eyes and quietly listened to the gentle zither music. The mania that had always plagued him in his heart seemed to have been pacified by the zither music.

After the song, Xuan Sheng opened his eyes and looked at Xia Wanyuan in the video with a strange gaze.

Suddenly, he thought of something and muttered to himself, "He's so lucky."

The third lucky audience Xia Wanyuan had drawn in her live-stream was just a passerby who wanted to join in the fun. This passerby didn't know what song he wanted at the moment, so Xia Wanyuan promised that he could come to the live-stream to redeem it after the audience thought it through.

The lively live-stream finally came to an end.

The effects of the live broadcast were self-evident. The rumors that Xia Wanyuan had leaked the theme song of the drama had collapsed on its own. Two consecutive unprepared songs were enough to convince everyone of Xia Wanyuan's strength.

Xia Wanyuan switched off the live broadcast and got up to walk into the house.

Just as she entered the door, she saw Jun Shiling walking down slowly from upstairs.

"Why did you send so many gifts again?" Jun Shiling had sent five million dollars the last time, and this time, it was more than ten thousand dollars. Although Jun Shiling was rich, he did not have to send money to the Cat's Tooth Platform like this.

"Mm," Jun Shiling replied calmly with a strange expression.

Although Jun Shiling often had a cold expression on his face, he clearly revealed the words "I'm unhappy" tonight.

Jun Shiling walked to the living room and sat on the sofa drinking tea without looking at Xia Wanyuan. He did not make a sound. Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling's cold side profile and felt an inexplicable grievance from him.

Xia Wanyuan went to the fridge and cut a simple cake that she had spent the entire afternoon preparing. According to Xiao Bao, this cake was the most delicious cake he had ever eaten.

However, Xiao Bao had always felt that as long as it was made by Xia Wanyuan, it would be the most delicious thing in the world.

"Jun Shiling," Xia Wanyuan called out.

"Mm," Jun Shiling replied softly, but he still lowered his head.

Xia Wanyuan simply took the plate and sat beside Jun Shiling.

The faint fragrance of fruit and cream wafted to his nose. Jun Shiling turned his head and saw a white cake covered in fruits.

"Try it. I made it. I heard online that eating sweet food can make you happy when you're unhappy." Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling.

Jun Shiling's gaze was deep. Although he still looked unhappy, he reached out to take the cake plate.

"Is it delicious?"

Xia Wanyuan had eaten her fill that night and had yet to taste the cake she had made.

"It's okay." As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Shiling felt a little annoyed. It was actually very delicious. It was sweet but not greasy and had a rich texture. The fragrance of the fruits mixed with the sweetness of the cake, refreshing the heart.

He had never felt such emotions before. His heart was bitter. Seeing Xia Wanyuan write songs for others, especially for that strange 'Sheng', made him unhappy.

However, he, who had been used to not showing his emotions for a long time, did not know how to express this unfamiliar emotion. Hence, when he spoke, there was an abnormal anger.

Sensing that he had lost his composure, Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan's expression.

"Was the song I sang today good?"

Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan was not angry. Instead, she asked a sudden question.

"It's very nice," Jun Shiling said from the bottom of his heart.

"Then how about I write you a song too?" Xia Wanyuan smiled. "At least I won't let you spend six million dollars in vain."
