Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 121 : Found

Today Xifeng's stream was slightly different from usual. At the fans' suggestion, tonight's streaming plan had changed to singing.

After all, games would eventually become boring, and fans always wanted to see something new, so Xifeng could only try her best to satisfy them.

Xifeng was clear that her singing ability could only be considered passable at best—the kind that wouldn't assault people's ears too badly when sung at KTV.

However, while her software wasn't great, her hardware was overwhelmingly powerful. Just this voice alone was enough to instantly kill most of Bilibili's popular singers.

"I've already posted the song list in my updates. Viewers who want to request songs can send the song title in the comments, and I'll randomly select one song to sing. Limited to songs on the list only."

Xifeng's song list wasn't extensive, with roughly over four hundred songs. Most were Japanese songs, followed by a small portion of Chinese and English songs, plus some songs in various obscure languages.

Perhaps due to her melancholic personality, Xifeng preferred listening to sad songs. The vast majority of her playlist consisted of such songs, though there were also quite a few otaku-oriented anime songs.

The audience's enthusiasm for song requests was quite high. Soon the comments were flooding the screen with various song titles. Xifeng randomly selected one comment: Kana Hanazawa's "Renai Circulation."

A song with extremely low difficulty. Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief—actually, there were many songs on her playlist she had barely listened to. It would be terrible if she picked one of those.

She cleared her throat, opened the backing track, found her feeling, and began to sing.

"でも　そんなんじゃ　だめ (But that just won't do…)"

The clear voice like a nightingale singing alone under the moon instantly captured most viewers' hearts—crisp and melodious like mountain spring water, yet ethereal and leisurely like riverside mist and rain.

Before she even finished the third line, the comments had transformed into Awei's mass grave.

"Love me, crispy."

"Awei got sour."

"It's all your fault, Awei died again."

"Awei come out and go through the motions."

"Awei please roll out and then die."

The extremely soft loli voice paired with the already cute melody and lyrics was enough to ignite anyone's lolicon soul.

And when they learned this voice came from a boy's mouth, many people became even more excited.

"ふわふわり　ふわふわる (Fluffy-fluffy, fluffy-fluffying…)"

"My ears are getting pregnant."

"Woo woo woo I want a daughter like this too."

"Ahhhh Xiyue I want to have your babies."

After finishing one song, Xifeng's stream popularity had surged to about five times what it was at the start, and the viewer count had multiplied several times over.

The response was even better than expected. Xifeng's confidence immediately increased. She took a sip of water and smiled: "Thanks everyone for your support. The next randomly selected song is... Akari Morohoshi, Yui Ogura, and Rina Hidaka's 'Little Adventure.'"

Good, though not very familiar, she could still sing it looking at the lyrics.

"Why does the streamer's playlist have so many otaku songs?"

Someone raised this question, immediately getting agreement from many people. They had looked through the playlist and found it indeed filled with lots of anime otaku songs, commonly known as "tough guy must-listen songs."

"Isn't this great? Would you rather hear a cute girl sing 'Graceful White Birch, Vast Blue Sky' or 'A Little White Poplar, Growing by the Sentry Post'?"

"You make a good point, but I must correct you—Xiyue is a boy."

"Isn't that even better?"

"It's 2020, surely no one still cares about gender? Right? Right? Right? As long as you can get off to it, who cares about anything else?"

This was also a unique landscape in Xifeng's stream. Every time she went live, there would always be people arguing endlessly about whether Xiyue was male or female. There were always wife-faction people who refused to admit Xifeng was a boy no matter what, as this would shatter their fantasies. Of course, most people didn't care either way.

"Fufu, yeah yeah, fufu, fufu, hey, hey, wow!"

This song's anime concentration had reached excessive levels. Many lyrics in the original had no actual meaning—just three cute girls making adorable, meaningless sounds together that could melt anyone's heart completely.

Coming from Xifeng's mouth, the destructive power increased another level.

After the second song ended, the stream's heat reached new heights, much livelier than when she usually streamed games. Song request comments flooded joyfully, with many donation messages popping up from time to time.

"The next song is... Ai Kayano, Saori Hayami, and Haruka Tomatsu's 'Secret Base ~Kimi ga Kureta Mono~ (What You Gave Me).'"

Seeing this song, Xifeng froze for a moment. She had actually drawn her favorite song.

Often, encountering a favorite song was like marrying a newlywed wife—listening to it dozens of times on repeat daily without getting tired. But before long, you'd get sick of it and become fickle, gradually burying this once-beloved song at the bottom of the pile, never touching it again.

Xifeng was usually like this too, but this song alone she had loved for a full seven years since high school in her previous life, never changing.

Simply because every time she heard this song, she would remember that white-haired girl who, despite being heartbroken, held back tears and forced a smile, softly saying "Found you," before gradually fading away with the breeze.

"君と夏の終わり　将来の夢 (You and the end of summer and the dreams of the future…)"

The girl displayed her voice to the audience. The sad yet melodious tune instantly quieted the previously noisy comments. The deeply emotional and melancholic voice seemed to carry soul-piercing magic, making many viewers who had been busy with other things unconsciously put down what they were doing and listen seriously.

They say songs can convey the singer's emotions, and this song depicting deep childhood friendship resonated spiritually with many people. For a moment, the stream was as quiet as if comments had been turned off.

"最高の思い出を… (The best memories…)"

As the backing track ended, the stream that had been silent for so long instantly erupted in stormy, intense discussion.

"Xiyue is amazing!!! (voice crack)"

"Unfortunately I'm uncultured, one 'holy shit' conquers all."

"Damn, I actually cried listening."

"Embarrassing to say, I got wet too."

"Menma, I found you."

Without exception, all positive reviews.

"Thank you everyone for your support. I'm very happy that you all like my songs." Xifeng smiled happily, the fluffy ears on her head bouncing up and down constantly from joy. "The next song is..."

Her smile froze on her face. Xifeng's expression instantly became as ugly as if she'd eaten a fly, though because she was wearing a virtual skin, viewers couldn't see her rich facial expressions.

"...Azis's 'Hop.'"

Xifeng was dumbfounded. Who had stuffed this kind of song into her playlist?!
