"Wow, our account gained dozens of new fans."
On the ride home, Zhi Xia looked visibly excited. She checked the Light Music Club's account and found that they had suddenly gained dozens of followers.
"Let me see," Tang Keke leaned over to take a look.
"Dozens isn't that much, is it?"
"It's still progress," Zhi Xia said, quite satisfied. They were just playing music for fun as amateurs, so getting any recognition was the greatest satisfaction.
The Light Music Club's social media account currently only had three thousand followers, and two thousand of those were brought in by the funny MacArthur video from before. Most of them had followed the account to laugh at Zheng He and just forgot to unfollow.
It was already eleven o'clock at night. Even though there was no school tomorrow, it was still a bit late.
"Go back and get some good rest," Ye Shuang said.
"Okay!"
Out of safety concerns, Ye Shuang chose to personally drive everyone home. First were Lin Lin and Zhi Xia. Since they happened to be neighbors, they reached their destination very quickly.
Next was Taozi.
"Good night, Brother Ye," Taozi politely bid Ye Shuang farewell after getting out of the car.
"Mm, rest up early, Taozi. You must be tired tonight, right?" Ye Shuang smiled.
Taozi gently shook her head.
After watching Ye Shuang's car drive away, she hailed a cab to go to Sweet Bar and continue working.
"And then there's..." Ye Shuang looked at An Shiyi and An Shiyaya. "Ducky, where do you live?"
"I live in the same neighborhood as Little Yu," An Shiyaya immediately raised her hand and said.
An Shiyi froze for a moment and cast a confused glance at An Shiyaya. "You live in the same neighborhood as us?"
An Shiyaya: OvO?
So, you didn't know?
"But I guess that's normal. After all, you're just a clone. Little Yu would definitely know," An Shiyaya said, crossing her arms.
"Heh," the corners of An Shiyi's mouth curled up.
"What?!"
But since An Shiyi and An Shiyaya lived in the same area anyway, Ye Shuang dropped them off together.
"Good night."
Ye Shuang said upon arriving at their destination.
"Oh," An Shiyi replied, looking very bored. It was obvious she hadn't had enough fun tonight.
"Good night, thank you!" An Shiyaya happily waved goodbye to Ye Shuang and the others.
...
In the blink of an eye, only Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke were left in the car.
"Brother, wasn't our performance tonight absolutely amazing?" Tang Keke said, not forgetting to strum an air guitar, even though it was completely off-beat.
"Mm, it was indeed very unexpected," Ye Shuang glanced at the rearview mirror and nodded.
Especially when Bai Yuyou started singing.
"Yuyou, your performance tonight was fantastic," Ye Shuang couldn't help but praise Bai Yuyou. He even felt a little touched the moment she finished singing.
He almost felt a sense of pride, like a father watching his daughter grow up.
Bai Yuyou was sitting in the passenger seat eating snacks. Hearing Ye Shuang praise her, she blinked her beautiful eyes, looking very happy.
"Ye Shuang, eat this," Bai Yuyou didn't forget to feed Ye Shuang some snacks.
"You eat it."
"Oh."
...
It was already past one in the morning by the time they got home. Even Ye Shuang felt a bit sleepy and considered taking a shower tomorrow instead.
Looking at Tang Keke beside him, Ye Shuang added, "Keke, take a shower and go to bed early."
"Okay," Tang Keke rubbed her eyes and yawned. She was usually good at staying up late, but perhaps because she was too tired tonight, she couldn't hold on any longer.
Ye Shuang also returned to his room. He sat on his chair, and perhaps because he was a little sleepy, he decided to close his eyes for a moment.
But that moment turned into sleeping until past two in the morning.
...
"I actually fell asleep?" When he woke up again, Ye Shuang rubbed his aching neck and stretched uncomfortably. "I almost got a crick in my neck."
But a second later, he noticed a figure beside him. Bai Yuyou was sitting next to him, hugging her clothes, her face resting on the desk as she slept soundly. The tie on the girl's chest was slightly loosened, giving a clear view of the upper half of her slimes.
"Yuyou..." Seeing that Bai Yuyou had actually fallen asleep on the desk, Ye Shuang gave her a surprised look and then reached out to gently nudge her.
"Yuyou, don't sleep here..."
Bai Yuyou slowly opened her eyes and looked around in confusion. Finally, she sat up straight, still hugging her clothes, her voice a little groggy, "Ye Shuang."
"How did you fall asleep here?"
"I saw that you fell asleep, so I just laid down next to you for a while to keep you company." Bai Yuyou's voice was soft, her ahoge drooping slightly, looking very sleepy.
"Go sleep in bed," Ye Shuang said.
"Let's take a shower together," Bai Yuyou said.
"How about we skip the shower tonight? We can wash up tomorrow morning."
But hearing Ye Shuang say that, Bai Yuyou shook her head. "If we take a shower together and sleep holding each other, we'll sleep very soundly."
"Alright."
The two of them had to go take a shower first. Originally, they only planned to rinse off quickly under the showerhead, but in the end...
"It still ended up like this." In the bathtub, Bai Yuyou was now sitting on Ye Shuang's lap, her eyes slightly narrowed from the warm bathwater. "Taking a bath is so comfortable."
The girl's hair fanned out on the surface of the water, looking like a jellyfish.
Feeling the familiar touch on his lap, Ye Shuang rested his cheek on one hand against the edge of the bathtub, just quietly watching her.
"We can only soak for ten minutes," Ye Shuang didn't forget to remind her. If they soaked for too long, they would probably wake up completely.
The girl in front of him didn't respond. Ye Shuang took another look and found that Bai Yuyou seemed to have fallen asleep. Her eyes were closed, with only the moisture clinging to her long, slender eyelashes.
A faint pink flush adorned her snow-white cheeks. Ye Shuang leaned back a little, trying to let Bai Yuyou lie more comfortably.
But Bai Yuyou seemed to wake up, turning her head towards him. "Ye Shuang."
"Hmm?"
Bai Yuyou turned around in the bathtub, her slimes pressing against Ye Shuang's chest. Her eyes seemed to shimmer with a misty haze as she directly kissed Ye Shuang.
The sudden touch made Ye Shuang zone out for a moment. Soon, Bai Yuyou sat up slightly straighter, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness.
"Ye Shuang, did you watch me properly tonight?"
Ye Shuang swallowed hard. The peaks of her slimes were still pressing against him. He slowly averted his gaze and said, "Mm, your performance tonight was indeed very good."
"That's good. Ye Shuang needs to watch me properly..." Bai Yuyou said as she leaned into Ye Shuang's embrace, nuzzling against him before quickly quieting down.
By the time Ye Shuang recovered his senses, he realized that Bai Yuyou had fallen asleep once again.
"Looks like she really is exhausted." Seeing the sleeping girl's profile, Ye Shuang reached out and gently pinched her cheek.
As if remembering something, he reached out again and slowly stroked the hair on the back of her head. "..."
