Chapter 65: Instantly Transformed Into A Little Fangirl

“Music creation?”

Jiang Mengwei tilted her head, looking puzzled. Though music creation isn’t limited by age, the adorable little girl in front of her…a middle schooler? No, no, maybe even an elementary schooler.

She didn’t deny that some gifted children could display their talents early on, but Ye Xiao looked way too young for that.

“Eh~ Big Sister, you’re so mean! You must be thinking some very impolite thoughts~”

“Pfft~” Jiang Xin chuckled, watching the precocious Ye Xiao.

“You’re quite a funny little girl!”

“Of course~ So, Big Sister, would you like to keep in touch with someone as interesting as me and add me on WeChat?”

With a smile, Jiang Mengwei took out her phone without a word.

Beep~

With a quick scan, WeChat info appeared on Ye Xiao’s screen: 25 years old, female.

She was likely not a college student, maybe a graduated student or a teacher?

“Oh right, Big Sister, I don’t even know your name yet~ I’m Ye Xiao.”

The elegant long-haired woman tapped her phone screen, and soon Ye Xiao received a message on WeChat.

“Jiang Mengwei—such a beautiful name! So, can I call you Sister Jiang, or maybe Sister Mengwei?”

Ye Xiao asked excitedly. While other older sisters she knew were cute too, this was her first time meeting such an elegant and beautiful one.

I really, really love big sisters!

“That’s fine, but Xiao Xiao, if you’re here on the eighth floor alone, won’t your siblings be worried?”

Jiang Mengwei asked with concern, still assuming Ye Xiao was just a child.

“Nope~ because I’m already an adult!”

Ye Xiao, now sitting comfortably on the bench beside Jiang Mengwei, dangled her feet, swinging them back and forth.

“An adult? Kids shouldn’t lie! How about I help you find your family?”

“I’m serious! I’m really an adult!”

When the big sister doubted her, Ye Xiao puffed her cheeks like a little hamster, then pulled up her digital ID on her phone.

Jiang Mengwei glanced at the birthdate, covering her mouth in surprise—Ye Xiao was only 3 years younger than her.

But she certainly didn’t look like an adult.

At that moment, Ye Xiao noticed her phone had multiple missed calls besides the one she had just hung up on.

Oops, looks like I forgot about a big sister with… unique interests.

“Oh no~ I’m gonna stand up Sister Mengyue!”

“Mengyue?”

Jiang Mengwei looked slightly curious, the name sounded familiar, though it probably wasn’t someone she knew.

Ye Xiao, how can you be thinking of other sisters when you’re with this one? Focus!

Ye Xiao gave her cheeks a firm pat, leaving them a bit red and making Jiang Mengwei feel a twinge of sympathy.

“If it’s urgent, you should go find her, Xiao Xiao.”

Ye Xiao shook her head; how could she mention another woman while with a lady?

“Don’t worry about it, Sister Jiang! The other sister can just hang around the campus for a while~”

She quickly texted Li Mengyue to wait at the university cafeteria.

“Sister Jiang, actually, I came to tour Binhai University alone today. Your piano playing is so beautiful, you must sing wonderfully, too!”

Ye Xiao clasped Jiang Mengwei’s hands, her eyes sparkling.

“Well… people have said that, but…”

Jiang Mengwei brushed back her hair—she hadn’t sung in ages.

Ye Xiao tilted her head, gazing at Jiang Mengwei curiously as if trying to read her thoughts.

For some reason, being stared at by such a cute girl made Jiang Mengwei feel her face heat up.

“Why are you staring? Is there something on my face?”

Jiang Mengwei asked, a bit self-conscious. Ye Xiao was an odd girl.

“In that case, have you ever thought of debuting, Sister Jiang?”

Ye Xiao’s mental leaps left Jiang Mengwei taken aback. They were just talking about singing, and now suddenly… debut?

“What?”

Jiang Mengwei was stunned, she had never considered it.

Her family expected her to become a music teacher and eventually get married. Debuting felt foreign and distant.

“Please, please, Sister Jiang, would you sing something for me? Or maybe, I could write a song for you to perform?”

Ye Xiao hadn’t just wanted to develop games, as the head of a well-rounded company, her vision was to excel in every area.

Bringing the brilliance of past life’s culture to fully illuminate this world.

Since arriving in this world and finding none of the artistic works from her past one, she’d set her sights on this goal.

“Xiao Xiao, you can write songs? That’s amazing!”

Jiang Xin Hai humored Ye Xiao as if she were a child, unaware of the implications.

A little girl writing songs? Most people would laugh it off or expect a cute but simple tune.

Creating music isn’t easy, even for a talented person, songwriting and composition take time.

[Sister Tongzi, don’t I still have a basic skill proficiency I haven’t used yet? It’s selectable by domain, right? I’ll apply it to music!]

[Deep Blue, plus some Skill Point!]

[Pathetic host, my name isn’t Deep Blue, you know~]

With the skill’s activation, Ye Xiao suddenly felt a flood of musical knowledge, enough to make her want to improvise on the piano in front of her.

Ye Xiao now had a deeper respect for Sister Tongzi’s power. This “basic” proficiency was surprisingly advanced.

She could now play any instrument she knew, reaching around a level 10 for the piano.

This is way too OP—maybe it’s because I chose “music” rather than one specific instrument?

[Haha, now you see how powerful I am!]

Sister Tongzi preened.

[Sister Tongzi, you’re amazing~ I’m your biggest fan~]

Ye Xiao turned fangirl instantly, showering Sister Tongzi with admiration.
