"Host, I'm back!" The little butterfly, who had been wandering around outside, excitedly flew to Su Ran's side.

[I recorded your song and played it for the entertainment system! He regrets not being sent to this timeline. He keeps saying that if you had been bound to it, it would have made you a legendary singer! Hehe, he doesn't have that chance.]

It really enjoys listening to you sing, and has released many songs, saying it wants to invite you to sing them.

The little butterflies chirped in her ear as Su Ran carried the tripod and walked forward with her head down. Although she didn't talk much, she would still respond to the little butterflies with "Oh," "Hmm," "Really?" and "That's great."

The little butterfly then realized that Su Ran was in a bad mood and asked her what had happened while it was away.

Su Ran shook her head and said, "Talking won't solve anything. Once you've chosen to do something, you have to finish it."

The little butterfly was completely confused, and after a while, she asked, "Are you talking about singing?"

Seeing Su Ran nod, it thought of Su Ran's maternal grandmother—the only person who stopped Su Ran from singing.

Once they reached a secluded, deserted jungle, Su Ran set up her phone.

My phone kept buzzing with private messages, like it was about to explode.

She opened the live stream, and this time, unlike the first time, thousands of people flooded in as soon as she opened it.

Everyone was expressing their curiosity and admiration for her.

Zhong Jue also followed Su Ran, and his phone beeped the moment she started her live stream.

The girl on the screen was wearing a mask and a hat, revealing only her clear, bright eyes, as if she were looking into his eyes through the screen.

Just like when they first met in the haunted house, he judged that she had a pair of eyes full of stories.

Then, the girl on the screen spoke.

"Thank you all for your attention and support. I am very grateful. To celebrate reaching 1 fans, I would like to dedicate a song to you."

She pursed her lips, mustered her courage, and said, "This time, I'm bringing you my original work, 'Traces'."

The chat in the live stream went wild, with everyone eager to hear the heavenly voice.

Even Zhong Jue, watching from behind the screen, couldn't help but become completely absorbed.

The little butterfly was stunned. Why didn't the host choose one of the songs the entertainment system had given her? But seeing the host's resolute expression, it couldn't say anything.

Do you also not want eternity?

I also long to be cherished.

hovering alone under the gaze

But the more I looked, the colder I felt.

The colorful sunlight was too dazzling.

It will burn every inch of your soul.

I just want to hide in a corner where I won't be noticed.

I pray the world will temporarily forget itself...

……

Still no accompaniment, still a cappella. Her voice seemed to possess a certain magic, drawing everyone into the world she wanted to portray.

The chat in the live stream quieted down. Everyone who heard the song unconsciously stopped what they were doing, their thoughts drifting to some unknown distance.

It wasn't until the singing stopped for a long time and the ghostly voice in the live stream expressed its gratitude that they came back to their senses. They were generous with their rewards, and the live stream was flooded with praise, with gifts almost covering the entire screen.

[Host! Not enough? One more song! One more song!]

[Host, could you sing that song again?]

Although it was a bit sad to hear, I surprisingly wanted to torture myself through it all again.

[Please sing again, host. Don't end the broadcast after just one song like last time.]

I want to hear that song, "Listen to Loneliness Sing," the chorus is still echoing in my head.

One more song!

【No, no, ten more songs!!!】

[Following the main group! 100 more songs!!!]

[Upstairs, are you trying to exhaust the streamer? Such a great voice should be insured! Streamer, listen to me, one more song!!!]

[...truly heartless]

……

Su Ran felt much better after singing. Seeing so many gifts and gaining nearly 10 new followers, she was somewhat flattered.

Especially when she saw that the top-ranked person on the gift list was named Zhong Jue, he actually gave her 100,000 yuan worth of gifts!

Zhong Jue... This name sounds familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before.

As a newly appointed anchor, Su Ran is very fond of her fans.

She returned to the stage and sang "Listen to Loneliness Sing" again, a song she had performed before.

She doesn't listen to many pop songs because of her grandmother's strict supervision, but she knows some traditional operas that she listens to with her grandmother. When she sings in a melodious operatic voice, the number of viewers in the live stream becomes even more popular.

In those few short minutes, a Peking Opera adaptation of the song "Ode to the Pear Blossom" went viral and became a trending topic!

Grandma Li is old and has presbyopia. When she heard the Peking Opera singing coming from her grandson's phone, her eyesight improved by two degrees!

"Is this a rising star? She sings so well, which teacher is she studying under?" she asked her sixteen-year-old grandson, Jiang Qiang.

"Hey, I really didn't know. She's a new streamer I recently started following. I've been watching her stream for the past couple of days, and when she started, she was absolutely amazing!" Jiang Qiang couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

He continued to praise, "That voice, that tune, isn't it better than those of your outer disciples?"

Grandma Li didn't refute it, but adjusted her reading glasses and thought for a moment, saying, "You know what, it's true."

Now it was Jiang Qiang's turn to be surprised. His grandmother was very concerned about her reputation. Although she was not entirely satisfied with the talent of those outer disciples, she would not tolerate anyone saying anything bad about them, not even her beloved eldest grandson!

"Grandma, you wouldn't be going to..."

"Give me your phone, I need to keep an eye on her."

"okay!"

Grandma Li was once a renowned opera master in Kyoto. Although she has retired, many people still come to her seeking apprenticeship, hoping she will take on an inner disciple and teach them personally. Apart from a few who she felt had some talent and were taken on as outer disciples, she has yet to have a single inner disciple.

The main problem is that kids these days are a bit restless and don't really like traditional opera; they're more into pop songs.

She had encountered people with exceptional talent before, whom she wanted to take as her apprentices, but they just didn't like opera! Grandma Li had no choice but to completely let go of her inhibitions; whether they sang or not, she was too lazy to teach them.

But now, she heard that voice again, a voice that stirred her heart, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Download Su Ran's audio and listen to it eight or ten times.

The more I listened, the more I felt that this child was really good. It would be even better if I could be her apprentice!
