"After talking for so long, who the hell is this guy?”
"Can you do it? If it doesn't work, can Erke come up instead?"
"God Ze! You should take it easy…"
The doubts on the bullet screen made Zhao Ze shake his head helplessly. It took a lot of courage to sing behind Erke, so it wasn't impossible for the audience to make such a scene and make him lose his mind.
"System, upgrade my Singing Proficiency to Advanced!”Zhao Ze, who had already decided to do his best, thought to himself heroically.
"Singing Mastery has been successfully upgraded. The current skill is advanced. 500 Shadow Points have been deducted.”
A familiar system notification sounded. Zhao Ze, who had been unusually heroic just a moment ago, asked in a daze,"How…how much?"
" 500 Shadow Points."
The emotionless voice made Zhao Ze feel like killing someone. "So…I'm broke again?" he said coldly, enunciating each word.”
[Host has 30 Shadow Points left.]
"F * ck!"
After cursing, Zhao Ze gave up on bargaining with this emotionless robot. After pondering for a moment, Zhao Ze turned to Erke and said in distress,""I'm so annoyed! Why don't you pick a song, Erke?”
Er Ke blinked her eyes in a daze. How would she know what kind of songs Zhao Ze could sing after being separated for a few years? What if she said something that Zhao Ze wasn't good at? The nursery rhymes from before were obviously not suitable for this situation.
"Forget it, I'll just sing a few lines.”Zhao Ze shook his head and didn't continue to make things difficult for Erke.
Clearing his throat, Zhao Ze could clearly feel a sense of relaxation that he had never felt before. He could easily perform the high or low notes that he could only think of in the past. His perfect voice even made the advanced singing that he had just redeemed useless.
The few notes that he casually hummed had an inexplicable sense of rhythm. The voice was so pure that it did not contain a trace of impurities. Even Zhao Ze himself was immersed in it. He naturally hummed a tune that he had once dreamed of but could not reach.
"This is…a cappella?" Erke opened her eyes wide. She was both expectant and nervous.
The slightly depressing tune accompanied Zhao Ze's deep voice, which inexplicably gave Er Ke a heavy feeling. It was as if there was something very heavy pressing down on her heart, and she couldn't help but feel depressed.
What shocked Er Ke even more was that the song that Zhao Ze was singing didn't have any lyrics at all. It was as if he was really just humming. However, there was an inexplicable magic to it that made her heart sink deeper and deeper.
Just as Er Ke was about to suffocate, Zhao Ze's voice suddenly rose. His voice became ethereal and pure, but it also carried a trace of regret, as if it was the final struggle of an old man in his twilight years. The conflicting feelings made Er Ke frown involuntarily, and a trace of sorrow and unwillingness inexplicably welled up in her heart.
At this moment, Zhao Ze raised his voice again. His voice was so high that Erke couldn't help but tremble a few times. However, Zhao Ze's high-pitched voice didn't sound like a normal person's roar. Instead, it was abnormally calm, as pure and holy as the whispers of angels in heaven.
After the song ended, Zhao Ze opened his eyes in excitement. Before he could say anything, Erke hugged him.
"It's so nice! Your voice is the best I've ever heard! " How could you…How could you…" Erke gestured anxiously, trying very hard to find a suitable adjective.
"Empty Spirit?" Zhao Ze reminded her in embarrassment.
"Yes, yes, yes! It's ethereal!" Erke hurriedly nodded and asked excitedly,""What song were you singing just now? I feel like it's trying to express something…but I really can't understand it without the lyrics.”
Zhao Ze smiled and explained," This song is called Dedication. The first part of the song is about the selfless love of a mother. The middle part is about the helplessness and unwillingness of an old man in his twilight years. As for the last part…"
"What's the last thing?" Erke asked anxiously.”
" I don't know..." Zhao Ze shook his head and said gently,""You can treat it as a reward for its children to its mother, or it can also be its mother's last blessing. In short, it was what you thought it was.”
Zhao Ze, who had been an orphan for two lifetimes, could not understand the meaning of the song even if he sang it himself. However, just as Zhao Ze said, different people would have different experiences. Perhaps everyone had their own understanding of motherly love and their own contributions.
Erke nodded thoughtfully. She glanced at the silent Zhao Ze and asked cautiously,""This song…was it written by you?"
"Beep! In this world, there are a large number of resources missing, and the song of Dedication does not exist. Please find out the specific situation yourself. This service fee is 10 shadow points.”
Puff!
Suppressing the urge to vomit blood, Zhao Ze nodded awkwardly and explained guiltily,"Although I don't really understand the feelings of a mother's love, I think…it's probably like this, just like the old principal back then.”
Erke's heart ached for him for some reason. She patted Zhao Ze's shoulder gently, hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said,""Don't be too sad. In the future…I will accompany you.”
Zhao Ze chuckled and flicked Erke's little head affectionately. He said gently,""Stop talking nonsense. I'm done singing. Come and sit down.”
This rare act of intimacy made Erke so excited that she didn't know what was going on. In a daze, she cooperated with Zhao Ze's actions. When she came back to her senses, she found that she was already sitting in the main seat.
Rubbing the spot on her forehead where Zhao Ze had flicked her finger, Er Ke giggled foolishly.
"What are you laughing at? You're so happy." Zhao Ze asked in confusion.
Erke, who had been giggling, was startled and forgot to maintain her ladylike image for a moment. She flew into a rage out of humiliation and said,""I just want to laugh. It's none of your business!"
Zhao Ze was dumbfounded by her fiery words. He stared blankly at Erke, whose temper had suddenly changed, and complained in his heart,""Brother Shikamaru didn't lie to me. Women are the most troublesome things in the world.”
