I’m a vet gifted you a Perfect Castle.
The perfect line of ‘Fairytale Carriages’ was, again, disrupted by “I’m a vet.”
Everyone was excited to see him,
…
“God Vet is here! –Celebrates–”
“Vet, I’ve already followed you on Wei Bo last night!”
“Me, too!”
“Me, three!”
…
“Wait, ‘I’m a vet’ has a Wei Bo account? Why do I not know this?”
“You’re outdated.”
“You’re not only outdated, but you’ve also missed the interactions between Princess and God Vet.”
“It’s not late for me to follow him now, right? Is his Wei Bo nickname also ‘I’m a vet’?”
Those fans who didn’t know who “I’m a vet” was popped out, and Yu Zhan’s number of Wei Bo fans increased again.
“Am I stealing all the attention from you?”
“I’m a vet” typed out a comment.
Liu Man smiled, “Of course not; I’m glad to see you online.”
“I love that piece you played. I hope you’ll live-stream more of your piano playing in the future.” — I’m a vet
The rich “I’m a vet” with lots of admirers stated everyone’s wish. Liu Man’s piano playing was way too good.
“Yes, sis, play the piano for us every time you live-stream!”
“Just one piece will be enough.”
“Yeah. It’s rare for us to listen to such elegant songs.”
Liu Man said helplessly, “I’m in Shanghai right now, and it’s very inconvenient for me to play the piano. When I get back to Beijing, I’ll be able to play the piano for everyone every day.”
“I hope for sis to return soon. Not only do I want to listen to more of your piano playing, but I also miss Daylight!”
“But anyway, as someone who lives in Shanghai, I feel like where sis is, right now, looks familiar.”
“I wanted to say this a long time ago. This location is probably the music classroom in Shanghai Experimental Middle School. I graduated from this school. The piano our live-streamer is playing on is a grand piano our school purchased from Germany a decade ago. There are two pianos on campus, one in the music classroom and one in the music hall.”
There were many smart and perceptive fans. Liu Man did not know how to reply to them.
“This is strange. Doesn’t sis go to school in Beijing? Why would she be here?”
“Didn’t the school go on break? How did you get through the gates?”
“Not to mention you’re allowed to play on the piano. This is magical! How did you manage to do this?”
…
Liu Man cannot reply to these questions.
“You’ve requested on Wei Bo for the live-streamer to play the piano for everyone. Now that she has fulfilled your wish, you are asking around and intruding on the live-streamer’s privacy. She doesn’t want to answer, so stop asking follow-up questions.” — I’m a vet.
“I’m a vet” had always talked kindly. Ever since everyone realized he had a Wei Bo account yesterday, they asked him many questions about caring for pets, such as ingredients for homemade dog food, what to do when kittens caught a cold in the winter, and what to do when parrots don’t have good appetites.
“I’m a vet” had always patiently answered every question from every fan in the comment section. His words were clear and detailed, making everyone admire and trust him.
And he, being prudent, always answered everyone’s questions.
This led to everyone having an impression of him being a kind and patient elder. A common assumption was that only the elderly would have such good medical knowledge and have such a good temper to answer so many different kinds of weird questions.
At this moment, this elder who had always spoken in a soft tone suddenly commented sharply. Everyone felt uncomfortable as if they were being scolded by a teacher in class.
The few fans who were asking questions just now felt scared. They were going to apologize before Liu Man suddenly turned off the live-stream.
Oh, no. Is the live-streamer angry at us?
This was what everyone was thinking at that moment.
The truth was, Liu Man realized Xue Yunfei was standing at the doorway. She did not know how long he had been there.
“Mr. Xue, what are you doing here?” Liu Man asked, surprised. There was a hint of unnaturalness in her eyes, for she was a little embarrassed to be discovered stealthily live-streaming in the music classroom by someone from the cast.
TL’s Note: The ‘Mr.’ means Liu Man regards Xue Yunfei as a teacher/mentor.
“I was wondering what YOU are doing here?” Xue Yunfei didn’t respond but instead asked her a question. He smiled as he stroked his beard, “Didn’t I say I’m not a teacher to you? I’m only about ten years older than you, and you are making me sound much older than I am. I am more like your brother.”
Xue Yunfei could see Liu Man was feeling awkward, so he changed the topic, “Aren’t you just live-streaming? Don’t feel awkward; young girls nowadays do this all the time. I mean, everyone needs something to do when they get bored.”
Xue Yunfei extenuated the tension, and Liu Man started to explain, “Coming to Shanghai and filming is only a part-time job to me. I usually do live-stream.”
“So, you were at the pedestrian mall live-streaming with that cyber star to gain more popularity? Why does everyone call you “Hanfu Goddess”? You weren’t wearing a Hanfu, though.”
“No, she probably has no idea that I’m a live-streamer. It’s a coincidence when I met her. The first time we met each other was at a music-themed restaurant, and she was a special guest invited for performance. I was having dinner with a friend, and the restaurant happened to be hosting an event. I got randomly picked to wear a Hanfu and perform with her, and the video recorded that performance. I don’t know from when, but everyone started calling me ‘Hanfu Goddess.’”
During this time, the topic #Hanfu Goddess# was popular on Wei Bo, but Princess Man and Coco had not mutually followed each other.
Xue Yunfei nodded, then started to clarify for his purpose here, “My copy of ‘The Sound of the Wind’ got lost, and I searched everywhere for it. After thinking back, I realized this would be the only place I could’ve left it. I’m not that busy today, so I’ve decided to come here to look for it.”
Liu Man immediately thought of what she had found. She opened her bag and took out those pieces of A4 paper.
“Are you looking for these? I found them on the podium.”
“Ah, yes, yes. I was looking for this all along,” Xue Yunfei felt relieved. He took the music sheets from her and held them as if they were treasure, “Ah, I was so worried, and I’m so happy I found them. If this was left in a corner where nobody would find it, it would be acceptable. I’ve imagined the worst-case scenario; if someone found these and purposely spread it around on the internet, I would have to pay money for the company’s loss!”
Although Xue Yunfei didn’t say how much he had to pay, Liu Man could guess the number would not be a small one.
Probably because Liu Man helped him find his music sheets, Xue Yunfei had started to like Liu Man a little.
“Oh, yes, what nickname do you go by on your live-streaming platform? Do you have Wei Bo? I’ll follow it, and I’ll support you in your live-streams when I have time.”
Xue Yunfei’s Wei Bo account was verified and had a big ‘V’ on his profile. His profile descriptions read: “I’m a music composer, music producer, and an outstanding Berklee grad.”
