Chapter 106, "Encounter," but not a complete "Encounter."
Chapter 106, "Encounter," but not a complete "Encounter."
Unable to refuse everyone's enthusiastic invitations, Chen Sui finally agreed to sing another song.
With the previous song as a prelude, everyone could recognize what the second song was from the intro: it was the opening theme song of "Itazura na Kiss," titled "Encounter."
"The unique, unfamiliar scent that's unique to you."
My goal in confirming your existence is...
No need to look back and forth anymore.
Knowing that we are separated by a street corner in this life
... "
With the foundation laid by the first song, Chen Sui's second song was sung more naturally and with more emotion. Although most people's singing level is not comparable to that of professional singers, it is not a problem for them to reach the level of a karaoke enthusiast if they like to sing.
Chen Sui is just like that. She just didn't have the opportunity before. Now that she has these twenty-four listeners, Chen Sui is gradually getting into the swing of things as she sings.
"Come on, everyone, send some free flowers to the guild leader in the chat channel," Lu Zhizhe whispered, trying to be helpful.
The chorus was about to begin, and Chen Sui had just gotten into the mood. The way people meet is so strange. At first, she and Chen Che didn't get along and were even at odds, but now she was actually feeling a little...
No, no, no, I only have a tiny bit of a crush on him!
Just as Chen Sui was about to speak, she heard a familiar voice:
"We went around in circles before we finally met them."
I understand your importance more than anyone else.
After all this time, I've made up my mind.
Decided,
I've held your hand and I won't let go.
... "
Chen Sui was taken aback, turned her head and saw Chen Che walking over with a grin.
This unexpected situation caught Chen Sui off guard, and she asked somewhat shyly, "Why did you come back after you left?"
He continued singing the chorus from where he left off, so he had listened to the whole thing he had just sung without saying a word.
"Can't I come back and get something I forgot? Do you own the incubator?" Chen Che teased, looking at Chen Sui's shy expression.
"Then why did you secretly listen to me sing!" Chen Sui shrank back behind the monitor to hide her expression from Chen Che, otherwise Chen Che would have seen her slightly reddened ears.
"So what? You sing for them, but you can't sing for me too, so I can hear you too," Chen Che said, feigning dissatisfaction.
Hearing the slight displeasure in Chen Che's tone, Chen Sui didn't think much of it and quickly explained, "Hey, I didn't say I wouldn't sing for you or let you listen. It's just... I want to practice even better before I sing for you again."
Chen Che smiled and didn't tease her any further.
After Chen Che's disruption, Chen Sui absolutely refused to continue singing, even after the band members repeatedly begged her to.
I only made a promise to do it next time. Maybe I can put on an online concert sometime when I'm in a better mood. Please look forward to it!
However, even though only half of the song was sung, the money still had to be paid. If he couldn't give 100,000, he would give half, 50,000. Therefore, for this Xuanjing, Lü Zhizhe gave an extra 150,000 in wages.
The boss's emotional needs were met, the band members' salaries increased, and the band leader himself enjoyed singing. It was a win-win-win situation.
Unfortunately, a new problem soon arose: the ship didn't have enough gold to pay everyone's wages. Collecting gold already took a lot of time, and it was even more difficult to do so late at night.
After thinking for a moment, Lü Zhizhe said in the microphone, "Everyone, how about this, I will directly transfer RMB to the group leader's card, and you all send the group leader your card numbers and such, and the group leader will transfer the money to you directly."
This kind of off-game trading is usually quite sensitive. Gold farming groups often do this. They have dedicated customer service to handle the bosses, and dedicated players to play on their own accounts. They pull all the bosses into a special group, screenshot all the drops and post them in the group. They bid in gold coins and then directly convert them into RMB for settlement.
Unlicensed tour groups wouldn't do that; they take what they can get and disband once they've collected their wages.
But whether it was because the atmosphere was particularly good tonight, or because the trust between people really transcended the barriers of the internet, the vast majority of people agreed to the plan. The few who disagreed had no choice but to join the group and send her their bank card number via private message.
Soon, Lü Zhizhe transferred the money, and all the group members' account information was collected. Chen Sui glanced at the time and realized it was getting late; the bank counters had closed long ago. But she still said in the group chat, "Please wait a moment, everyone. I'll go to the ATM to transfer the money to you."
"No need to rush, Captain, you can go for the tour tomorrow during the day."
"Yes, the vehicle crashed like this today. You, the commander, have been the one who worked the hardest. You should get some rest."
Putting herself in someone else's shoes, Chen Sui was always anxious when her money wasn't in her account. So, regardless of whether the person was genuinely concerned or just being polite, she decided to go right away. After all, she was the kind of person who was serious, responsible, and wanted to finish things on the same day.
Fortunately, there are ATM machines at the school, so there's no need to go outside.
But when Chen Sui went over to check, she was dumbfounded; the ATM was under repair and unusable.
Left with no other option, Chen Sui had to call Chen Che for help, which was almost an instinctive reaction.
"Hey, class monitor, what's wrong with you staying up so late?" Chen Che had just returned to his dorm and lay down when he received a call from Chen Sui.
"Hey, Chen Che, can you come with me to the bank ATM?" Chen Sui got nervous when she got through. What if he refused?
"What do you want?"
"Hmm... I'll transfer the troupe's salary to them," Chen Sui replied.
The lights were already off. Chen Che squinted and glanced at the time on his phone screen, then at the messages in the group chat. He said with a hint of helplessness, "Class monitor, why don't you check what time it is? They already said there's no rush and you can take your time to finish it during the day tomorrow."
"Yes, I saw it, but I just want to finish it as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to sleep soundly if I keep thinking about it." Chen Sui honestly expressed her true thoughts.
Chen Che sighed but hadn't said anything yet. Chen Sui understood from his tone and immediately apologized, "Oh, it really is too late. I shouldn't have bothered you. I'm sorry, goodnight."
Just as he was about to hang up, Chen Che suddenly said, "What do you mean 'goodnight'? Wait for me a bit, I'll come over on my electric scooter."
If I really don't agree, knowing her stubborn nature, I'm worried she'll just run off to the school alone in the middle of the night. I might as well go with her.
"Hehe, okay, I'll wait for you at the door," Chen Sui said cheerfully before hanging up the phone.
A moment later, Chen Che rode his electric bike, its headlight illuminating a path, and stopped in front of Chen Sui, just like the petty hoodlum Andy Lau in "A Moment of Romance" riding his motorcycle to pick up Jojo.
