Failure at online gaming could not stop Jia Zhi Qing from pursuing the beautiful possibilities of the virtual world.
He quickly found a new form of entertainment: YY.
Elio’s Notes: YY is a Chinese voice-chat platform commonly used for online singing rooms.
At first, he was content to listen. But after listening for long enough, he grew restless. Determined to astonish everyone the moment he opened his mouth, he practiced day and night at home. Once he thought he was ready, he dragged Xiao Bai over to be his audience. It became one of the ten things he regretted most in his entire life.
Once Xiao Bai understood what YY was for, he became excited.
Because of his schedule, he could not go sing at Pyramid very often, and YY solved that problem perfectly. From then on, “Jia Zhi Qing’s Personal Stage” acquired a brand-new star performer. Jia Zhi Qing, the singer who had almost been ready to astonish everyone with his debut, developed a phobia of listening to music because of Xiao Bai’s singing, and his singing career was cut short before he ever got his chance to shine.
Three days later, Lian Jue Xiu returned after finishing a shoot and found Jia Zhi Qing sitting at the computer playing Minesweeper. Looking at the unplugged network cable, he asked in confusion, “Why aren’t you online?”
“This way Xiao Bai can’t find me.”
He had barely finished speaking when Lian Jue Xiu’s phone rang.
“It’s Xiao Bai.”
“Don’t answer!” Jia Zhi Qing said nervously. “Xiao Bai is holding a solo concert on YY.”
“…” Lian Jue Xiu answered the phone, pinched his voice into a strange accent, and said, “Sorry, I’m not Lian Jue Xiu.”
The End.
