“Hey, Sister Zhu.”

Chen Cheng, that guy, I don't know what's gotten into him these past few days. He's been like a man possessed, locking himself at home every day to practice playing the piano and singing.

So, Ye Zhenzhen, concerned about this guy, didn't even go home after work; she pressed the button for the 23rd floor in the elevator.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, she saw Zhu Zhe walking over in a rush.

“Oh, Zhen Zhen, you're back.” Zhu Zhe immediately put on a smile to hide her embarrassment.

Just a moment ago, Chen Cheng’s remark, ‘Zhen Zhen is back,’ had startled the sleepy Zhu Zhe wide awake.

She was suddenly full of energy, threw on her clothes, and ran out in a hurry, terrified of running into Ye Zhenzhen.

It was as if she were a thief.

Actually, it wasn't really her fault. Not long before getting out of bed, she had finally managed to get Chen Cheng to agree not to tell Ye Zhenzhen about their relationship.

As for why she wanted to keep it from Ye Zhenzhen, she felt that Ye Zhenzhen definitely liked Chen Cheng, and since she had received so many favors from Ye Zhenzhen, how could she have the nerve to compete with her for him?

But then, not two minutes later, she heard ‘Ye Zhenzhen is back,’ and Zhu Zhe went into emergency mode, completely flustered.

It was as if she were a cat that had stolen some food, only to hear that the owner was coming back.

She hurriedly put on her clothes and ran out, only to bump right into Ye Zhenzhen.

“What's going on?” Ye Zhenzhen looked at Zhu Zhe, puzzled.

“Oh, it's nothing,” Zhu Zhe said, her brain working at lightning speed. “Well, there's some kind of emergency at the hotel, I have to go.”

Ye Zhenzhen didn't suspect anything and stepped aside from the elevator entrance. “Oh, take care then. I'm going to go check on Chen Cheng.”

At the mention of Chen Cheng, Zhu Zhe blushed slightly and nodded awkwardly. “Yeah.”

“I'll be going now.”

“Take care, Sister Zhu. Be safe going to the hotel so late.”

Zhu Zhe stood in the elevator and smiled. “Yeah, thanks, Zhen Zhen.”

After Ye Zhenzhen said that, she turned around, frowned, sniffed, and smelled the air.

She hadn't noticed it before, but standing there for a while, she felt like there was some kind of smell.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a voice came out, “What is that smell?”

Zhu Zhe's breath hitched in fear. After the elevator doors slammed shut, her body went limp, and she slumped against the elevator wall.

Zhu Zhe had been in such a rush that she hadn't even closed the door.

As soon as Ye Zhenzhen walked into the room, she asked, “What happened to Sister Zhu?”

At this moment, Chen Cheng was already in the kitchen, cleaning up the tomato and egg noodles that had turned into a mushy soup.

Chen Cheng glanced at her, thought for a moment, and said, “Oh, the water pipe broke.”

“The water pipe broke? Did that issue at her hotel explode?”

Ye Zhenzhen thought Chen Cheng was talking about the rusty water pipes at the hotel where Zhu Zhe worked.

“Yeah, the waves were turbulent, overflowing everywhere,” Chen Cheng nodded.

“Oh, then she should hurry and go check it out.”

Ye Zhenzhen put the late-night snack she was holding on the dining table and walked into the kitchen. Looking down, she saw the noodles in the trash can and asked, puzzled,

“Did Sister Zhu cook this? Why did she throw it away?”

Chen Cheng washed the pot in his hands and said unhurriedly, “Oh, while practicing singing earlier, Sister Zhu got lost in the music and forgot about the noodles in the pot.”

At this moment, Chen Cheng felt like he had evolved; lies just rolled off his tongue, without him blushing or his heart racing.

Hmm?

Ye Zhenzhen looked at Chen Cheng, suddenly feeling jealous. “So you sang for Sister Zhu?”

( ⊙ o ⊙ ) ... Uh, Chen Cheng couldn't hold it together. Did he... sing?

After thinking about it, Chen Cheng nodded faintly. “Yeah.”

“Hmph! You've never sung for me.”

Hmm? Chen Cheng wore an ‘are you sure’ expression.

“Didn't I sing yesterday?”

“Rui Rui was there yesterday.”

“The day before yesterday?”

“AChu was there the day before yesterday.”

“...”

Chen Cheng realized now; she was jealous.

He had ‘sung’ for Zhu Zhe alone, but not for her.

But if Ye Zhenzhen knew it was a ‘duet,’ she would probably explode.

Chen Cheng suddenly thought about the ‘Versatile Magic Voice’ and ‘God-level Singing Skills’ that the master system had just given him. Should he try them out?

Thinking of this, Chen Cheng got excited. He put down the dishcloth, wiped his hands, and pulled Ye Zhenzhen out of the kitchen.

“What are you doing?” Ye Zhenzhen followed behind, pouting.

“Since you're here, I've written a new song. Have a listen.”

Chen Cheng pushed Ye Zhenzhen onto the sofa, then stepped back and stood in front of the coffee table.

He began to frantically recall various versions of this song in his mind, and in the end, Chen Cheng chose Dimash's.

The original version was sung by a woman; for him to sing it would be too weird. The main thing was that he hadn't experienced the extent of the ‘Versatile Magic Voice’ yet, so he wasn't confident.

Even so, he had to try it out before he dared to sing.

Chen Cheng closed his eyes and quickly recalled Dimash's live performance. While recalling, he hummed softly.

Seeing that Chen Cheng was so serious, Ye Zhenzhen also became very earnest. She sat up straight, chest out, and watched Chen Cheng's every move with rapt attention.

After recalling the entire live performance, Chen Cheng cleared his throat.

“No accompaniment; just listen to an a cappella version today.”

Mm-hmm!

Ye Zhenzhen nodded expectantly.

“Ahem~”

“Every night in my dreams”

-In every quiet night's dream

“I see you, I feel you”

-I can see you, I can feel you

“You're here, there's nothing I fear”

-With you by my side, I fear nothing

Once the climax of the song hit, Ye Zhenzhen was stunned.

She watched the passionately singing Chen Cheng with her mouth wide open. Is this Chen Cheng?

The song started with a flat, narrative tone, giving Chen Cheng time to adapt, but now he had clearly found his groove.

The high notes were ethereal and melodious, as if piercing through the clouds.

It wasn't just Ye Zhenzhen who was stunned; Lucy downstairs was also stunned, freezing in place.

Lucy, who was on the sofa looking at her phone, heard the singing and knew Chen Cheng was at it again.

Chen Cheng had been ‘harassing’ her like this for several days. Her personality was a bit reclusive now, so she didn't go to find Chen Cheng.

She was basically just enduring it.

But what was up with this high note today?

It was too piercing, so high and bright; it was completely different from the raspy voice he had been using before.

Lucy had an urge to rush upstairs to hear the live performance, but she was afraid that if she ran up, the song would be over, and she would lose out.

Lucy stood up gently, afraid of making even the slightest sound, and quietly moved to the balcony.

The song continued.

“And I know that my heart will go on”

-I know that my heart will not retreat

“We'll stay forever this way”

-We will stay together forever

“You are safe in my heart”

-Here will be your safe harbor

“And my heart will go on and on”

My heart will go on, my heart will go on

Until Chen Cheng finished the entire song, Ye Zhenzhen did not wake up from the ‘entangled and sorrowful’ mood created by the song.

For a long while, it was only when Chen Cheng raised his hand and waved it in front of Ye Zhenzhen's eyes...

Ye Zhenzhen blinked and looked at Chen Cheng with a ‘seen a ghost’ expression. “Are you really not possessed by a ghost?”

Uh ( ⊙ o ⊙ ) ... Chen Cheng, with skin as thick as a city wall, grinned and admitted, “Yeah, I invited a spirit to possess me.”

Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes. “Get lost!”

“But, did you really write this song?”
