Chapter 140: Please, Just Be A Person
Pei Ningle’s first original song was finally finished, named《Lost》. The recording studio sent over the post-production finished product, and the quality satisfied Pei Ningle, who was recording in the studio for the first time.
Of course, before this she had also written a few songs, and they had all been posted online. But now listening back carefully, the young girl felt even more ashamed—they were all such garbage, the sound effects were bad enough, but the lyrics and music were all black history! Delete them quick, delete them quick!
After deleting those few black history songs, good, from now on this《Lost》 is her first original.
The young girl happily thought about it, uploaded the new song’s audio to the Network Music Platform, and the video to Bilibili. This time’s video was the same as those previous cover song videos, with Pei Ningle singing to the camera herself. Only the voice in the video was completely replaced with the audio from the recording studio.
And at the beginning of the video, she could finally put ‘Pei Ningle’ in the lyrics and music original author field—Wang Heng had suggested to her whether to use an artist name or something. But after thinking a bit, the young girl stubbornly chose to use her real name.
The video had just been uploaded, and in a few minutes it already had playback volume, and people were leaving messages in the comment section below.
【Haven’t heard this song before, is it new?】
【Lyrics and music both by the UP master herself!】
【Xiao Lele is getting more and more awesome!】
On Bilibili, Pei Ningle had already accumulated over ten thousand fans, who knows how big a splash it can make next. While on the Network Music Platform side, with no fan accumulation, there was no playback volume for half a day.
The next step was to see how Mr. Agent would operate and promote it.
Thinking of Wang Heng, Pei Ningle was about to call him, but she first received his incoming call.
“The stuff I just bought has arrived, I used your address. There are probably two packages, to be used at your place, can you help me receive them first, I’ll head over soon.”
“Oh oh, sure.”
After Pei Ningle agreed, Wang Heng hung up.
The young girl couldn’t help but feel curious— what exactly did Wang Heng buy? And he even has to come to her home to use it?
After waiting a bit, the express delivery guy knocked on the room door. Pei Ningle opened the door, received two packages, signed.
Right after the delivery guy left, the young girl closed the door and impatiently unpacked the packages.
The first package contained a camera.
“Bought for filming videos? Awesome, now my video recordings’ picture quality will definitely improve a lot… And what’s this?”
Pei Ningle unpacked the second package, but for a moment she couldn’t figure out what it was.
It looked like a pink and tender princess skirt, but the size was too small, right? Even laid flat it couldn’t completely cover the young girl’s palm, a size even a little kitten couldn’t wear, what could it be used for?
“Right, that hamster!” Pei Ningle suddenly remembered that the first time she saw Wang Heng, it was through that hamster that they connected. Even more amazing was the hamster’s later transmit information operation, simply impossible to explain with common sense.
So, this little skirt was bought for the hamster? To use the brand new camera to film videos of it?
Pei Ningle immediately got excited with expectation.
————
Wang Heng was about to bring the hamster to Pei Ningle’s room, but at this moment, a problem was right in front of him.
The hamster was missing.
The cage was empty, where was the hamster?
On the table, on the floor, on the bed, even including the roommate’s bed, Wang Heng searched everywhere, but no.
Final exams had already ended, winter holiday hadn’t officially started though, but there was nothing to do staying at school. So out of the three roommates, two had already bought tickets to go home, and the only remaining Tang Hexing was busy going to the semester’s last club activity today, probably not back until after dinner.
So Wang Heng stood alone in the dormitory, wanting to look for the hamster, with no one to help.
“Where did it run off to…” He stood in the center of the dormitory, frowning in contemplation.
Suddenly, Wang Heng noticed the White Cat lying on Tang Hexing’s bed. The kitty raised its head, seemingly looking up at the dormitory ceiling. That pair of vertical pupils was filled with awe, quite anthropomorphic, just like a mortal seeing a superhero descend.
Following the little cat’s line of sight, Wang Heng looked up, and his eyes immediately lit up.
He saw that little guy who had disappeared for a long time.
The dormitory had a fan, which could send cool breeze from overhead to everyone when it was hot. But now it was early January, the fan in the dormitory had been idle for many days.
No one could have imagined, the hamster was actually lying on the fan. You know, the fan was hanging isolated on the ceiling, the nearest landing spot was Wang Heng and Wang Ke’s bedding, but there was still over a meter between the bedding and the electric fan, how did the hamster get there?
This train of thought, this action, left Wang Heng utterly amazed.
Suddenly, the hamster pointed at the White Cat and roared angrily: “Fool! Useless minister has ruined me!”
The White Cat shrank back, not quite understanding if it had made some mistake again, and could only play pitiful.
Wang Heng teased: “Cursing the cat now is useless, come down.”
Hamster: “No, I’m not coming down!”
Wang Heng: “Hurry up, your new outfit has arrived.”
Hamster: “I’m not going! Don’t think I don’t know it’s a pink skirt, and you even bought a high-definition camera!”
Wang Heng laughed even happier: “That’s so it can more clearly record your cute appearance, don’t resist, come on. Or rather, resistance is futile.”
Hamster: “I’m staying up here, see what you can do!”
Wang Heng walked to the dormitory door edge, hand pressing on the fan’s knob.
Hamster kept shouting: “Turn it on, go ahead and turn it on!”
The fan’s blades were wrapped tightly by the metal protective cover, of course for protection of the students in the dormitory, and the hamster was now lying on this protective cover. So even if the fan was turned to the highest speed, the hamster probably wouldn’t fall off.
“Do you know what allowed humans to develop and grow strong in fierce survival competition?” Wang Heng suddenly said, “One of the most important factors is being good at using tools.”
After saying that, he grabbed the broom, climbed onto his upper bunk, and gently placed the broom on the electric fan.
Hamster: “…”
Wang Heng: “I’m giving you steps now, if you don’t come down, I’ll sweep you down with the broom.”
The hamster couldn’t help but wail: “Please be human!”
Wang Heng: “No nonsense, hurry up.”
The hamster reluctantly moved its body, crawled over along the broom, jumped onto Wang Heng’s bed. Then it twisted around to run, but was grabbed by the quick-eyed and hand-fast Wang Heng.
“I shouldn’t have let you practice martial arts,” the hamster sighed, “your movements are so much faster.”
Wang Heng: “Heh, too late.”
The hamster looked up at him and said: “Can we skip the cross-dressing?”
Wang Heng: “No.”
Hamster: “What if I give you a little advance warning?”
Wang Heng immediately became vigilant: “What warning?”
The hamster’s little eyes turned: “Say it first, you can’t lose your temper!”
