7 What? You wrote this song yourself?
"Wow, these lyrics sound so romantic!"
"Romantic my foot! Is this what you call romantic? This is childlike innocence, okay?"
"Yeah, listening to this makes me feel like I'm back in my childhood! It's so therapeutic!"
"Oh dear, my eyes are getting a little wet just listening to this. My family is from the countryside. When I was little, I used to chase dragonflies barefoot in the fields, and I would sneak over to pick fruit from my neighbors' houses, only to get stung by their bees..."
"Exactly! I also got stung by a bee while stealing someone's flowers. My lips swelled up bigger than a sausage... Ugh, I'll never forget that feeling!"
"Did you hear that? 'Smile! Success isn't the goal; making yourself happy is the real meaning.' What wonderful lyrics! I usually feel so tired and stressed living, and the lyrics of this song are simply divine!"
"Yes, yes, yes, these lyrics are absolutely amazing, they have such a healing quality!"
"Waaaa, I'm in love with you, bro! You sing so well, and your lyrics are so beautiful!"
"No, who told you he wrote this song himself?"
"Oh, really? I listen to music every day, but I've never heard this song before!"
"That's not necessarily true. You haven't heard that he wrote it himself? Besides, you can listen to music online now, with dozens or even hundreds of new songs released every day. Can you honestly say you've heard them all?"
"Hey, why are you so argumentative? If there were such a good song online, it would have been a hit by now. Why would we need to argue about it?"
"Hey, stop arguing! What's the point of us fighting here? Little Swallow, why don't you go up and ask?"
"Yes, go ask around. If you find out the song, I'll give you 500 fish balls as a reward!"
"500 fish balls? Seriously? That's less than 5 yuan! You guys are so stingy! Yanzi, go find out what song this is, and I'll give you 600 fish balls as a reward!"
"Yes, yes, go ask around, I'll give you 100 fish balls!"
"I'll offer 50!"
"I'll offer 666!"
……
Instantly, a bunch of tip notifications appeared in Xiao Feiyan's live stream window, making her beam with joy, her smile extending to her ears.
Because she arrived when Zheng Ning sang the song for the second time, she didn't hear Zhu Kai's introduction of the song.
But since the viewers have started making a fuss, I definitely have to go up and ask them for the sake of the live stream.
"I never expected that making this impromptu trip would have been such a good decision!"
She chuckled smugly.
Then I waited patiently for the young man to finish singing.
To be honest, she didn't understand the song at first.
But after listening to half of the song, I gradually understood its meaning thanks to the comments on the screen.
"I have to say, this song is really well written. We really live such stressful lives. Making ourselves happy is what gives life meaning..."
Her lips pursed, and her eyes were fixed on Zheng Ning's face. Gradually, she felt herself becoming somewhat drawn in.
The atmosphere in the live stream was completely stirred up, and the number of people sending gifts suddenly increased significantly.
This made Little Swallow so happy that her eyes were practically splitting with joy.
Anyway, whether it's playing games or doing pranks, as long as someone sends gifts, that's fine. Look, another airplane flew by in a flash.
This impromptu outdoor live stream was quite a pleasant surprise!
After the second rendition of "Fragrance of Rice," the tourists watching all had smiles on their faces and generously gave the song enthusiastic applause.
Many trendy young people continued to record Zheng Ning with their phones, eager to show off to their friends and family that they had met an interesting busker.
"Hey, you know what, the response here today is actually pretty good!"
Zhu Kai took a bottle of room temperature mineral water out of his backpack and handed it to Zheng Ning.
"Indeed, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. And look at all these people, layer upon layer... there must be at least seventy or eighty of them, right?"
The group chatted briefly, but unexpectedly, the middle-aged man who had been holding the Connie camera and whose eyes looked a little moist squeezed over and took out a 50-yuan bill from his pocket and put it in his guitar case.
"Young man, you sing well, and the lyrics are great too. Uncle supports you!"
"Hey, me too. This young man is really talented. He sings well, and the lyrics are... By the way, did you really write this song yourself?"
The man next to him, whose eyes were also somewhat red and whose face was lined with deep wrinkles, also took out a 50-yuan note and put it in.
"Ah, yes, Uncle, I did write this song myself..."
After singing on the spot for more than ten minutes, Zheng Ning's nervousness finally subsided a bit.
"Oh? You wrote this yourself? That's impressive! This song is really good; it reminds me of when I was a kid, running around in the fields catching frogs and dragonflies..."
The man patted him on the shoulder, and at the same time turned around and smiled at the person who had just been holding the camera.
"Wow, handsome! You really wrote this song yourself? That's amazing! Here, it's not much money, but it's a way to show my support!"
The fashionable girl, who was holding her boyfriend's arm, forgot all about their sweet nothings and quickly ran up to put a 20-yuan bill into the box, then smiled sweetly.
After that, people came over one after another and put varying amounts of banknotes into the guitar case, which soon piled up into a large stack.
"this……"
This scene left Zheng Ning completely dumbfounded.
He came here saying he was "busking".
But actually, it was mainly to test my courage and also to increase my popularity by completing the tasks posted by the system.
But I didn't expect everyone to be so polite.
In just a short while, that pile of banknotes must have already amounted to several hundred dollars, right?
Is being a singer really that lucrative?
No wonder so many people are desperate to become stars; the money comes so fast!
He then sang more than a dozen other songs before announcing that the performance was over and asking everyone to support the song "Rice Fragrance" online.
"Hey handsome, wanna be on camera? I'm a streamer!"
He, his sister, and Kai were packing up to leave when they suddenly saw the pretty girl who had been closest to the selfie stick earlier hopping over.
"Hello, streamer? Oh, hello, which platform do you stream on?"
Zheng Ning also watches live streams, but mostly he watches game streamers to improve his skills and learn some tricks.
This girl is dressed so elegantly, she might be in the so-called "beauty zone".
"Oh, I'm a streamer on Jiyu Live, my name is Xiaofeiyan."
She smiled sweetly and nodded to Zheng Ning and the two people next to her.
"Wow, Little Swallow? I know you. I think I've even watched your live stream. Aren't you the one who plays Battle Royale?"
Zheng Jingjing suddenly realized what was happening and quickly reached out her hand in surprise.
"Haha, didn't recognize me at first, huh? I'm not wearing makeup today... I didn't expect to run into my fans here, nice to meet you!"
After exchanging pleasantries, the atmosphere among them became warmer.
"I'm doing a live stream outdoors, and the chat is filled with sand... My viewers all think your performance today was amazing. Can we get to know each other?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the viewers in the live stream went wild again!
"Oh, Little Swallow, didn't you say you weren't here for a blind date?"
"Have some self-respect! You're embarrassing your fathers. How can a girl be so forward?"
"Hey fangirl/host, watch your expression! You're drooling all over your chin!"
"Yanzi, Yanzi, quickly ask him if he's livestreaming? My friend said he's going to send him rockets!"
"Your friend? It's actually yourself, you traitorous ninja... Swallow, ask quickly, I've helped you subdue this damned traitor!"
……
The live stream was noisy and filled with joy.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Feiyan finally got to the point, wanting Zheng Ning to also greet the viewers in the live stream and perhaps ride on his popularity.
"Hey everyone, how are you?"
When I felt sleepy, someone handed me a pillow.
Today, I came out to increase my popularity, and I just happened to run into a streamer who took the initiative to chat with me, so Zheng Ning naturally greeted the camera.
"Haha, the handsome guy smiled at me!"
"That handsome guy's smile is so cute and so healing! Yanzi, move us closer, I want to lick him!"
"Hey, you know what, I think this guy has a lot of my younger self's style. He's already 80% as handsome as I was back then!"
"What nonsense are you spouting? Even a dog on the street is more handsome than you!"
"Hey streamer, quickly ask my friend if he's streaming!"
