Chapter 1459: Chapter 430: Meow vs. Yan Huan

"This... this... this is not important! What matters is you!"

Seeing this, Bai Yi pressed her lips together and quickly changed her wording, waving her hands to stop and explain to her past self,

"I started listening to your music from your very first song, and I’ve been listening for a long time now... I really, really like you, and I think you have a lot of talent!"

Just as she had said, she knew what she most wanted to hear.

At this moment, when "Fan A" hadn’t been released, wasn’t what her past self needed most just encouragement?!

So, as long as she voiced it before Yan Huan, let her past self copy a BGM of "Fan A," and then later play it like Yan Huan...

"Ah, thank you..."

As expected, after hearing Bai Yi’s compliment, her past self’s eyes lit up slightly, seeming a bit uplifted.

Seeing her approach was effective, Bai Yi swallowed and organized her words,

"So, um... Bai Yi, are you planning to sing in this performance?"

"Uh, for now... I haven’t planned on it..."

"Then, do you have any unreleased new songs recently? If it’s okay, can I have a listen?"

Seeing her past self still looking disheartened, Bai Yi could only ask her to copy the USB with "Fan A" for her.

She knew that whenever she was prepared, as long as she gave it to her, she could enter backstage and play it before Yan Huan...

"Beep beep... clack clack..."

But just as Bai Yi was speaking, in Yan Huan’s eyes, the world line suddenly surged.

Looking into her eyes, she saw that at this moment, the bond symbolizing Yan Huan and Bai Yi seemed even tighter, seemingly resisting Bai Yi’s attempt to unravel it,

"Oh no, Yan Huan... this knot is much stronger than I imagined, with Bai Yi’s current approach there’s no way to undo it, meow!"

"Huh?"

"Have you forgotten, meow? Everyone’s here at the expo, you not only reunited with An Le but also did the big thing of playing the BGM for Bai Yi..."

In her mind, Meow explained the principle in a detailed and meticulous way,

"So the world line stabilizes, and will go to great lengths to prevent you from untying this knot...

"The more important the node, the harder it is to change its original track, meow!"

As soon as Meow spoke, her past self, who had been showing a bit of interest, lowered her gaze and shook her head,

"Sorry, I... haven’t prepared any new songs recently..."

This strange twist of events was unexpected yet understandable, and Yan Huan clearly felt the exertion of the world line.

Logically speaking, Bai Yi wasn’t someone who focused on appearances, and it was unlikely she’d treat her fans differently... Moreover, she didn’t really have many fans to begin with.

Yet now, that’s precisely what she did.

As if to ensure some event that would soon happen, making it inevitable.

That event is...

The person who gets that crucial USB can only be Yan Huan.

"What, weren’t you prepared?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi blinked and blurted out instinctively.

Hearing these words, her past self immediately frowned and, looking displeased, told her to leave,

"I said no, I have something else to prepare. Could you please go out?"

"I..."

Bai Yi wanted to say something more, but Yan Huan on her shoulder also spoke up, reminding her of what Meow had just told her.

Hearing this, Bai Yi felt an instant twinge in her teeth.

At this moment, footsteps from outside and Zuo Jiangqin’s voice could also be heard. As she turned around, Zuo Jiangqin opened the door.

She turned to make eye contact with Zuo Jiangqin; Zuo Jiangqin was stunned, but looked past the disguised Bai Yi, instead questioning her past self,

"Who is this? Didn’t I say, the performance is about to begin, no one except Yan Huan should come? What’s Ji Lin doing..."

"She’s my fan, she’s just about to leave..."

Hearing her mother blame her, past Bai Yi lowered her gaze but still glanced at Bai Yi, signaling her to leave.

"..."

Helplessly, Bai Yi had to get up.

As she left, she internally asked Yan Huan,

"So what do we do, if that’s the case, can’t we untie this knot no matter what we do?"

"...Not necessarily, meow."

Yan Huan thought for a moment, then instantly came up with a solution,

"Previously, we’ve always tried to keep things stable while cleverly untying the knot. But since this knot is so stable, maybe using an unstable or forceful method could untie it."

"Hmm, so?"

Yan Huan looked at Bai Yi, speaking softly,

"Since you inevitably have to give the USB to past Yan Huan, and Yan Huan inevitably has to play that BGM, what if we forcibly prevent your past self or Yan Huan from attending?"

"Huh?"

"Hmm, the consequences might be more severe if you can’t go on stage, because you have a contract... How about preventing Yan Huan from attending? Or say, stop him from playing the BGM?"

"Seems... possible?"

Standing in the hallway, Bai Yi had just nodded when the sound of her arguing with Zuo Jiangqin came from the room,

"Ah, I told you, these clothes are too flashy, hurry and change!"

What responded to her was her own signature, very pleasant voice.

"Mom! Today is an ACG exhibition, and Sister Ji said to dress according to the theme! Didn’t others show you the promotional posters and instructions from the organizers, why won’t you listen?"

"I don’t care if it’s ACG or not, no means no! Sharing a stage with those influencers is already lowering your standards, and you want to blend in instead of standing out..."
