Chapter 181: 54. She said: Sorry_2

"This... won’t happen today."

Yan Huan blinked and simply asked,

"Is it because the stage doesn’t allow it? After all, it’s a convention for gaming and anime culture..."

"It’s not quite that... Golden Lion Group doesn’t really restrict the performance content of the guests, as long as it’s reported in advance. However, how should I put it, artists have many paths they can take, but often we must choose one and stick to it..."

Bai Yi’s smile gradually faded, and she said,

"My mother chose one of those paths for me, perhaps it’s also a style others like?"

She flicked her hair, and when she looked at Yan Huan, that faded smile was subjectively brought back, shining brightly,

"Oftentimes fans don’t care about what kind of person you really are, they just want to see the idol they wish to see.

"As long as you’re beautiful and fit the persona they like, maybe that’s enough?"

Watching her charming smile, Yan Huan became more certain that it was a smile specially shown for him.

Why?

The next second, Bai Yi turned around, grabbed a USB drive, and handed it to Yan Huan,

"As for singing, it will remain a hobby for now, and maybe there will be a chance to sing again later.

"On the music platform, those fans are always asking about things unrelated to the songs themselves: when will you shoot a new movie, why did you behave a certain way in the variety show..."

As she was talking, she raised her eyes with a smile and softly said to Yan Huan,

"After all this time, you are the first fan to say you are my song fan, looking forward to my new songs...

"So, to not let down your expectations, I recorded the new songs I sang and the accompaniment onto the USB drive, including lossless versions of previous songs.

"Consider it my first album, even though it only has a few songs."

Let me answer that earlier ’why’.

It’s because Bai Yi truly cherishes Yan Huan, this rare fan of her music.

So, even though she had just argued with her mother and had been silently crying, she could quickly adjust her expression.

So, even though her mother showed her ugly side in front of Yan Huan, she still had to crush and swallow the burgeoning embarrassment and annoyance internally.

But looking at the USB drive she handed over, Yan Huan’s expression hidden under Perfect Expression Management momentarily faltered.

Everything made sense.

But only he and Miao knew:

He wasn’t actually a fan of Bai Yi’s songs, not even a fan at all.

It was all a lie, a scheme he concocted to resolve the issue with the modifier.

"..."

Yan Huan looked up at the smiling Bai Yi in front of him, looking at the USB drive in her hand.

After a moment of silence, he still reached out to take it.

Perfect Expression Management made his act flawless, and he showed an overjoyed expression, saying to Bai Yi,

"This... this is too precious, I will take good care of it!"

"There’s no need to cherish it so much."

Bai Yi waved her hand, looking at Yan Huan in front of her, she pursed her lips, her eyes suddenly dropping to her own skirt, not daring to look at Yan Huan any longer.

Her fingers fidgeting, she hesitated and then suddenly said to Yan Huan,

"Um, Yan Huan..."

"What is it?"

"Actually... well... I want to apologize to you, I’m sorry..."

Yan Huan was slightly startled, his eyes reflecting Bai Yi’s face, but he just asked with confusion,

"Apologize?"

"It’s just..."

Bai Yi lifted her eyes, looking at Yan Huan, her words seemed tinged with the rust of reluctance,

"I’ve always... always been very jealous of you."

"Jealous of me, why?"

"You once participated in Yasaka Company’s audition and passed on your first try, right? And not only that, you also have very good grades and reputation at school..."

Bai Yi lowered her head again, her smile shallow but still pretty,

"To be honest, you are good-looking, smart, and hardworking, kind-hearted and sincere... So, my mother has always compared me to you, hoping I could learn from you.

"But, which child would want their mother to praise someone else instead of themselves? So over time, I became very jealous, very resentful of you.

"But actually, it has nothing to do with you, you did nothing wrong, it was just my narrow-mindedness... so, I want to apologize.

"I’m sorry, Yan Huan."

Yan Huan blinked and then asked,

"So that’s the case, but why apologize? There is a saying: ’A gentleman talks about deeds not intentions’, even if you felt that way, Bai Yi, you did nothing wrong, so there’s no need to apologize, right?"

"I..."

It’s not that I did...

nothing at all.

The paint on your desk, the small stones thrown at you, secretly trailing you...

All these things, I did them all, you just didn’t know.

But how could Bai Yi say those things achieved with the help of the pocket watch, wouldn’t that expose the existence of Carefree?

So, in the end, her words choked up.

Eventually, she could only sheepishly say,

"Anyway, just... I apologize..."

Yan Huan actually knew what she was apologizing for, after all, he knew those things were done by Bai Yi using the modifier.

He was indeed surprised, thinking if he had the modifier, not asking someone to eat beef would already be generous...

But indeed, Bai Yi did so.

He looked at Bai Yi in front of him, as if he was truly recognizing her for the first time, and gave a helpless smile,

"Alright..."

"At first, when I realized the person I was jealous of turned out to be my fan, I felt a bit secretly pleased. But later upon thinking it over, the real me probably isn’t enough to be your idol, Yan Huan, right?"
