Chapter 395 (2/2)
“Did you like it?” Zhao Youyue asked with a smile. She was quite satisfied with her performance. Even without any cards activated, her music skills were weighty. This was actually a long-term learning process. After using a character card, no matter what she did, it would leave a piece of itself in the memory of her body. As long as she had the will to practice without the card activated, the effects of it would be good enough.
Han Leng praised her very sensibly, “Not bad, the singing was good, the guitar was well-played, it was like the temperament of a literary goddess emanating from within you.”
In Han Leng’s opinion, Zhao Youyue’s performance was not as good as the one during New Year’s Day. It lacked some deep-seated, intangible substance. Most importantly, it did not match the style of the Goddess Chu in his mind. As he had initially been eagerly looking forward to it, this left him feeling a little empty.
However, this alleviated all his suspicions. Previously, when he listened to Zhao Youyue’s music, his imagination had expanded to such a degree that he thought that Chu Luoxun had possessed Zhao Youyue. Otherwise, what else could explain the similarities between their temperaments, even down to the expression of a single note…
Zhao Youyue was still a little surprised when she heard Han Leng praising her. She thought that The Great Scholar Han of impeccably high standards would start picking on her mistakes, or perhaps blurt out some weird stuff and make things awkward. Unexpectedly, he was starting to get better at mutual commercial flattering.
Of course, this was a good thing. It showed that she had unobtrusively and imperceptibly changed and molded Han Leng. He was now a far cry from his old self. The old Han Leng was particularly awkward. He often got angry for inexplicable reasons and alienated her in a huff.
Zhao Youyue felt that this was a change for the better, because if Han Leng was still his strange old self, he would offend people too effortlessly. Not everyone was as patient and open-minded as her.
“In that case, you should start writing.” Zhao Youyue looked like she wanted Han Leng to start ‘cooking’ for her immediately.
“Write what?” Han Leng was confused.
“Just write something, anything. I want to eat books,” Zhao Youyue said this, then activated the Wen Qingyu card. Her temperament instantly softened.
Han Leng could only casually write a paragraph. It depicted the scene of Zhao Youyue’s performance just now, and how he felt when he listened to her music. He wrote it colorfully and rhetorically, of course, to hide the tinge of regret in his heart.
After Zhao Youyue “tasted” it, she commented, “It was a really delicate and exquisite cake. The cream on the outside tasted good, but the insides were a little disappointing. Yes, it was the kind of disappointment that was associated to not really seeing what you were looking forward to. It seemed like my performance just now didn’t satisfy you, so what you wrote conveyed such a taste to me.”
Originally, Han Leng did not take Zhao Youyue’s joke about “eating books” seriously, but after listening to what Zhao Youyue said, it was as if he had seen a ghost. Was this for real? Could she actually “taste” the thoughts that he had hidden, deep within his heart, as he wrote, just now? That was not possible, right?
Zhao Youyue deactivated the Wen Qingyu card and looked at him with a smile, but it only added to his guilt…
However, Zhao Youyue had no intention to spend more time on Han Leng anymore, because she soon saw that the “Two Dimensional Gate” was finally making its appearance again, after a long period of absence!
This meant that she would be able to enter a new world of works tonight, albeit at random.
What kind of world would this random new world of works be?
