Chapter 172: Ears are Burning
“What are you saying? You invited Fan to appear at your concert? Are you crazy?”
“He accepted? Is he crazy too?”
“Big sister Bai, are you trying to ruin your singing career and become an actress?”
Meng Cai Wei, who had entered the crew a bit earlier than planned noticed Bai Zhi’s message and immediately called her. Her voice was so excited that it scared the assistant who was bringing her breakfast.
“Why are you talking so loud?”
Bai Zhi who was still half asleep yawned and said, “Fan’s good at singing, and I happen to be missing a person. What’s wrong with asking him?! Besides, this concert is about playing with music and doesn’t specify they have to be professional singers. It makes me happy, and can fulfill my contract with Tiger Cat streams.”
“Fan’s singing sounds good?” Meng Cai Wei said incredulously. “What happened to your ears? His throat sounds like a broken bell, how can he sing well? Let me tell you, there is no music cell in our family!”
“That’s you, don’t drag Fan into this, Fan’s musical talent is almost too good!” Bai Zhi yawned again and continued, “I’m just gonna borrow your brother for a bit, don’t be so worked up. Are you worried Fan is going to enter the entertainment industry? It’s just one concert, and a small scale one too. It’ll be the same as when he streams. Anyways, I’m going back to bed for a bit, I still have rehearsal later today!”
At this, she hung up the receiver and went back to sleep.
“What’s going on?”
Meng Cai Wei was a little stunned. Immediately, she called Meng Fan.
Meng Fan just finished running, showered and was getting ready to eat breakfast. Seeing Meng Cai Wei was calling, he answered the phone. Hearing that it was related to Bai Zhi’s concert, he knew that Meng Cai Wei was going to call him sooner or later regarding it and had long already made up his explanation. “I thought it sounded fun so I accepted.”
“What do you mean fun? Bai Zhi said you’re good at singing, what’s up with that? When were you good at singing?” Meng Cai Wei asked.
“What, just because I can’t sing doesn’t mean I can’t practice until it sounds good!”
Yes. This was Meng Fan’s explanation after thoughtful consideration.
Meng Cai Wei didn’t believe him for a second.
“Meng Fan, I noticed you’ve been really strange recently! Just wait, when I have time, I’m going to thoroughly interrogate you!”
Meng Cai Wei angrily hung up the receiver.
“This temper, I haven’t even told her about the studio.”
Meng Fan smiled bitterly and headed to class after finishing his breakfast.
He had arranged to eat lunch with Wu Tong. She had washed and cleaned his thermos and brought it back for him, with an extra apple inside it. According to her, it couldn’t be returned empty.
As they ate, Meng Fan told her about Bai Zhi inviting him to her concert and asked Wu Tong if she wanted to attend his afternoon rehearsal.
“I have class in the afternoon. When’s the concert? I’ll go… cheer you on crazily.”
Wu Tong already knew of Bai Zhi and Meng Cai Wei’s relationship, and she’d met Bai Zhi too. Although she didn’t watch Meng Fan’s stream yesterday, she had recorded the VOD and watched it later, so she knew Meng Fan could sing. After discovering this, she was a bit surprised but did not doubt his abilities.
Curiously, she asked, “Are you trying to break into the entertainment industry?”
Meng Fan shook his head. “I just think it’s fun, I didn’t think about it that much.”
Wu Tong smiled. “It’s said that everyone’s life is a game. Some people are in easy mode, others are in hard mode, and some are in random mode. You’re in custom mode.”
A thought suddenly flashed through his head as he gazed at Wu Tong, saying genuinely, “It depends on what it is. Regarding some things, I can choose to get by in easy mode but somehow ended up doing it in hard. Because only in difficult mode can you unlock the hidden plot.”
Wu Tong paused for a moment, then laughed. “Are you flirting with me?”
