Dream Returns

"Let go of Simu right now! Do you know who he is?!"

The fans' screams were completely useless, and the other spectators exchanged glances. "Who is Simu?"

"No idea, but acting like that is pretty stupid."

After this brief interlude, Simu and his fans were politely "escorted" out by the burly men. As for what would happen to them, Ye Shuang didn't care either—the other party's behavior was so bizarre that Ye Shuang felt they stank.

What a huge load of crap.

"Are you alright?" Aunt Li also glanced at Ye Shuang at this moment. He hadn't expected such a thing to happen, making them a laughingstock.

"What could possibly be wrong?" Ye Shuang shook his head, not caring about it after it passed.

After all, they weren't wealthy or noble, just guest singers. And even if they were, given their relationship, they naturally wouldn't take it to heart.

The atmosphere became lively again, and soon it was Bai Yuyou and the others' turn to take the stage. One figure after another walked onto the stage holding their equipment.

"Next up, please welcome the Light Music Club of Yinshan Academy—the After-School Tea Party Band, to bring you their performance."

Seeing the girls about to go on stage, Ye Shuang perked up and immediately looked up at the stage.

Bai Yuyou and the others walked up holding their instruments, and Zhixia held the microphone to briefly introduce her members.

"Good evening, everyone! We are members of the Light Music Club from Yinshan Academy."

The audience looked toward the stage. After all, a group of youthful and beautiful girls was quite eye-catching. Perhaps due to their outstanding looks, some guys who looked like rich playboys started asking around about Bai Yuyou and the others. However, this wasn't a big problem. With Fugui and the others guarding the place, no one dared to do anything.

Upon learning that these people belonged to the bar owner, many dropped their ideas, as this boss was not someone to be trifled with.

At this moment, Bai Yuyou was holding her guitar. She originally wanted to look for Ye Shuang's position, but her beautiful eyes immediately caught him sitting in the first row. Ye Shuang was holding a glow stick, and the moment she looked over, he smiled and waved it.

Aunt Li also raised her glow stick, smiling brightly.

...

"I'm a little nervous." Tang Keke looked at the people offstage and took a deep breath. "What if I mess up?"

"With that automated guitar of yours, it'd be pretty hard to mess up," An Shiyi glanced at her. "Unless you play it with slimes."

"Blegh." Tang Keke hugged her guitar a bit tighter and stuck her tongue out.

Jealousy, it must be jealousy.

An Shiyi was only targeting her all day because she didn't have one herself. After seeing this clearly, Tang Keke decided she must properly show off what a great bosom is in front of her in the future.

"Are you okay, Taozi?" Zhixia also looked toward Taozi. There was no need to worry about An Shiyaya, but as a complete rookie, Taozi needed some looking after.

"Mm, no problem, I'm fine." Taozi smiled and nodded. Although she was a beginner, her psychological quality was very strong.

She wouldn't panic no matter what happened.

"Little Boss!"

Someone in the audience shouted. Taozi froze for a moment, then looked offstage. At this moment, nearly half the audience section lit up with pink glow sticks and LED signs reading "Little Boss".

Many burly men were holding glow sticks to cheer for her, and many others were holding up their phones, ready to record.

Taozi: "..."

"What's wrong?" Seeing Taozi's face stiffen, Zhixia asked curiously.

"N-nothing," Taozi could only say, though her fists clenched.

These guys...

Taozi suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of shame, and her previous calmness vanished.

"The next song we are bringing to you is the theme song of Fox Spirit Matchmaker, Dream Return." After Zhixia finished speaking with a smile, she returned to her position.

The entire venue went dark.

The next moment, the spotlight focused on a certain long-haired girl—

An Shiyi's long hair swayed slightly as her slender fingers nimbly began to play her bass, and then she started to sing:

"Holding half a dream that has yet to return—"

"A promise of three lifetimes, thousands of fetters—"

"On a different path—"

"Never turning back—"

Then she looked to the other side, and Linlin immediately cut in:

"The brilliant galaxy reflected in your eyes—"

"Is an otherworldly illusion never seen before—"

"Ten thousand rivers and a thousand mountains—"

"You accompany me to see—"

...

"It sounds pretty good." Aunt Li smiled and clapped. Ye Shuang also nodded. Although they weren't up to the level of professional singers, at the very least, they represented the strength of the Light Music Club. They might slack off usually, but their playing skills were still there.

Linlin continued to sing, her heroic voice especially suited for this song. "The path ahead I carve out for you—"

"Piercing through the world's demise—"

"Hiding and erasing my weak self—"

"But all the words you said—"

"Have all been forgotten—" After Linlin hummed this line, the sound quieted for a moment, and she smiled and turned to look behind her.

As the instruments paused, the spotlight fell on the long-haired girl, and Bai Yuyou's voice also rang out:

"Revolving—"

"Your hand pierces through my entire chest—"

The next moment, all the instruments played together, elevating the atmosphere of the entire venue.

"Wow." The moment Bai Yuyou's voice appeared, not only the audience but even Ye Shuang and Aunt Li were stunned for a moment, focusing on Bai Yuyou in surprise.

The girl under the spotlight played the guitar, her voice ethereal and moving, as if it could wash away one's soul.

Perhaps not professional, but her voice was exceptionally infectious, causing many people to raise their glow sticks high.

For the following time, Bai Yuyou, An Shiyi, and Linlin took turns singing their own parts.

When the song ended, the whole venue erupted in cheers.

"Ohhhhhhhhh!"

"Wuwuwu, I'm so touched, our little baby has grown up and can sing." Aunt Li looked deeply moved, while Ye Shuang beside her also felt somewhat emotional, because Bai Yuyou's singing tonight had brought him quite a pleasant surprise.

It was also his first time seeing Bai Yuyou handle such a song. Given the girl's usually quiet demeanor, it was truly rare for her to sing a song like this.

"Thank you, everyone." After finishing the song, Zhixia and the others bowed in gratitude.

"If you like our songs, please follow our band's account."

And Bai Yuyou once again looked toward Ye Shuang's direction. Facing her sweeping gaze, Ye Shuang smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Seeing this, Bai Yuyou hugged the guitar in her arms tightly, her beautiful eyes curving slightly.
