The peacock demon adjusted Zhan Yan’s look and pulled him into the studio to start shooting.

Qi Ye, by virtue of his identity as a game designer, managed to get a spot to watch. From time to time, his eyes would light up, and he would whisper things like “My cub!” and “Amazing!” in a breathy voice.

Zhan Yan, on the other hand, was in the gossip system watching the flamingo demon and the peacock demon sort out their relationship.

…You guys are too fond of gossiping!

[Flamingo demon Yan Hang to peacock demon Kong Meng via telepathy: “Hey, what about the other one? Aren’t there two roles to shoot?”]

This wasn’t a formal shoot, just a few test shots to decide on the makeup. After adjustments, it was almost noon, so everyone took a break for lunch.

During the break, Zhan Yan heard that Lan Xiqiao’s assistant had called in the morning, saying there was a small accident and she couldn’t come in the morning, having to wait until the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Lan Xiqiao rushed over. When she arrived, Zhan Yan had just finished his solo shots. It was his first time in front of a camera, so he was a bit unnatural and lacked a sense of the camera. The peacock photographer told him to relax and do whatever he wanted.

So, the excited Qi Ye started pulling Zhan Yan to pose and recite lines.

At first, Zhan Yan was a little embarrassed, but later he was coaxed into playing along.

He propped up his falling jacket with one hand on his hip, and held a grape still glistening with dew in the other, smiling with curved eyes: “Are you sure? Once you eat my grape, there’s no turning back.”

Lan Xiqiao: “I’m sorry for making everyone wait.”

Zhan Yan turned his head, and Lan Xiqiao had just entered the door, her face full of apology. Seeing him, she gave a friendly smile: “You must be Xiao Yan, right? I’m sorry to keep you waiting so long.”

Zhan Yan was slightly embarrassed, not knowing if she had seen his chuunibyou moment just now.

Fortunately, Lan Xiqiao didn’t chat much. After greeting everyone, she went to get her makeup done.

Zhan Yan felt she looked a bit haggard. Although she came with makeup on to cover it up, she exuded a feeling of forcing her spirits up.

Makeup removal was necessary before applying new makeup, and it was even more obvious after she took it off. The entertainment industry really doesn’t nurture people.

Lan Xiqiao was experienced in front of the camera. After her makeup was set, she began to teach Zhan Yan how to face the camera and led him to finish the duo shots first.

She was good at teaching, and Zhan Yan quickly found his camera sense.

During a break, Lan Xiqiao yawned.

“Didn’t Sister Lan sleep well last night?” Zhan Yan asked.

Lan Xiqiao: “I slept enough, just been dreaming a lot lately.”

She felt that although this kid from Sister Ji’s family was a bit startling at first glance, after spending some time with him, she found him particularly kind. The non-human feeling that was a bit startling before was purely due to the makeup.

Lan Xiqiao hadn’t slept well for several days in a row, so she couldn’t help but start chatting with Zhan Yan.

Lan Xiqiao came from a background in Chinese opera, able to both sing and act. After entering the entertainment industry, she was both an actress and a singer. The only regret was that she couldn’t write songs.

For a singer’s song to become popular, unless one has an extraordinary voice like Zhan Yunkai’s, it mostly depends on having a good song, just as an actor with great skills needs a good role to shine.

The competition in the entertainment industry is so fierce now; finding a good song is really not easy.

Perhaps it was due to thinking day and night, but after the New Year, Lan Xiqiao started dreaming. At first, she dreamt every few days, but recently it had become a daily occurrence. Each time, she dreamt of a peerlessly beautiful song, with a soul-stirring melody and very moving lyrics, the kind that would become a timeless classic if written down.

But every time she woke up, Lan Xiqiao couldn’t remember it, which made her very heartbroken.

Lan Xiqiao had already tried many methods, such as placing a recorder by her pillow to record immediately upon waking up from a dream.

But perhaps Lan Xiqiao was too sleepy. She would go back to sleep after recording, and when she woke up and turned on the recorder, she could only hear a series of strange noises caused by her being too close to the microphone.

Zhan Yan was curious. He wanted to hear this song!

And for a person to dream of a song for several consecutive days, this felt very unusual.

He opened the gossip system, trying to see if he could find any clues.

[The ghost Lin Yihao believed he wrote a great work that would surely become popular in his lifetime, but he died suddenly before he could publish it. The ghost Lin Yihao is very unwilling and decided to find a lucky person to transmit all his inspiration to.]

[The ghost Lin Yihao chose Lan Xiqiao to inherit his great work.]

[The ghost Lin Yihao attempted to send a dream to Lan Xiqiao, but due to his weak power, the dream sending failed.]

…

[The ghost Lin Yihao attempted to send a dream to Lan Xiqiao, but due to his weak power, the dream sending failed again.]

…

Lan Xiqiao’s poor condition recently was not only because she didn’t sleep well due to the dream sending, but also because the ghost repeatedly sending dreams caused the yin energy on her to become heavier and heavier.

This was easy to solve. Zhan Yan now had the attention of two demons. He chatted with Lan Xiqiao for a while longer and saw from the gossip system that the two gossip-loving bird demons were also curious.

Flamingo Demon: “Do you want to know what’s going on?”

Peacock Demon: “Of course, I also want to hear what song it is.”

Flamingo Demon: “Shall we enter her dream tonight and listen?”

Peacock Demon: “Okay, if it’s good, we’ll help her remember this song.”

Problem solved.

The game’s promotional advertisement was shot quickly. With Lan Xiqiao’s guidance, the two finished the required photos and videos in one afternoon and evening.

After returning home at night, Zhan Yan saw his brother bring back a large bag of egg tarts.

The aroma of freshly baked egg tarts was rich, the sweet milky flavor mixed with the scent of butter and eggs, irresistibly tempting.

Zhan Jinli ate an egg tart in two bites. Xingxing stood by the sofa, twitching his ears in indecision. He wanted to eat, but he didn’t want to bow down to the bad guy!

Zhan Yan was also enticed by this aroma. Fortunately, he had his sister’s cookies to feed on!

The sister brought back butter cookies today, fragrant and crispy, melting in the mouth, delicious to death.

Seeing that Xingxing was almost unable to resist, Zhan Yan signaled his brother to give Xingxing a bite.

Zhan Jinli used a small spoon to scoop a bit of the soft and tender egg custard from the middle of the egg tart into Xingxing’s small food bowl.

Xingxing meowed reservedly.

You gave this to me yourself.

The brother and sister pair peeked over the back of the sofa to watch the fun.

Xingxing couldn’t wait to eat a bite of the egg tart filling.

Blech—patooey!

He turned to the water bowl next to him and started drinking water frantically.

The two mean-spirited adults hid behind the sofa, holding back their laughter. When Xingxing turned back, they quickly ducked below the sofa back.

Xingxing ran over to Zhan Yan for comfort.

“Meow-woo—”

So disgusting! It’s so disgusting!

Zhan Jinli continued to sit on the sofa, chomping on egg tarts.

Xingxing’s small cat eyes widened, looking at Zhan Jinli in disbelief.

He eats such disgusting things; it seems his hunting skills are really poor.

Xingxing decided to forgive Zhan Jinli for the bad food he gave. He eats even worse himself!

The gossip system showed that Lan Xiqiao didn’t sleep all night last night and only fell asleep at five o’clock this morning. She slept right after finishing the ad shoot and started dreaming again.

Zhan Yan’s spirits lifted. Although he couldn’t hear sounds through the gossip system, he could see the lyrics. First, let’s see what the lyrics are like.

Anyway, as long as Lan Xiqiao remembered it, she could produce this song sooner or later. Everyone would be able to hear it then.

The two big bird demons, the flamingo and the peacock, also secretly潛入Lan Xiqiao’s dream, preparing to hear what song could be so soul-stirring.

[Flamingo demon Yan Hang and peacock demon Kong Meng in Lan Xiqiao’s dream heard the song created by the ghost Lin Yihao:
“The Greatest Fruit is the Banana”
Bananas don’t need to spit seeds, you can eat them after peeling.
Monkeys snatch the banana, happily flying into the jungle.
Humans have evolved too much, can only continue to work.
Humans continue to work, without the great banana.
The greatest fruit is the banana.]

[Flamingo demon Yan Hang and peacock demon Kong Meng covered their ears in pain and fled Lan Xiqiao’s dream in a hurry.]

[Flamingo demon Yan Hang and peacock demon Kong Meng beat up the ghost Lin Yihao and handed him over to the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau.]

[Lan Xiqiao woke up from the dream with a start, clearly remembering dreaming of two big birds chasing and hitting a person, while also remembering the song “The Greatest Fruit is the Banana” which she found extremely soul-stirring in her dream.]

[Lan Xiqiao began to doubt life.]

[Flamingo demon Yan Hang and peacock demon Kong Meng, when reporting the ghost Lin Yihao for privately and repeatedly entering an ordinary person’s dream, causing the other party to be entangled with yin energy, at the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau, had “the greatest fruit is the banana” looping endlessly in their minds. The more the two demons thought, the angrier they got, trying to beat up the ghost Lin Yihao again, but were stopped by the people from the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau.]

[Flamingo demon Yan Hang and peacock demon Kong Meng used magic to reproduce “The Greatest Fruit is the Banana” for the people of the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau. The people of the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau began to doubt life, hoping to buy a pair of unheard ears at a high price.]

Zhan Yan: …Pfft.

[You think it’s a good thing the gossip system doesn’t have an audio function.]

When sleeping at night, Xingxing expressed that when it grew up, it could also reluctantly hunt to feed Zhan Jinli.

Eating such disgusting prey every day is too pitiful.

Zhan Yan thought of Xingxing’s rapidly advancing expressive and comprehension abilities. Just how much did his brother chatter to Xingxing when he wasn’t home?

Opened the gossip system, started searching.

His brother indeed stopped being a mute social phobe when facing small animals and spoke directly.

[Zhan Jinli nimbly dodged the sneak attack of the little kitten Xingxing, saying: “I warn you, do not approach me.”]

[Zhan Jinli swiftly grabbed the scruff of the little kitten Xingxing’s neck, saying: “You are just a little kitten, don’t be ungrateful.”]

[Zhan Jinli scooped up the little kitten Xingxing who almost fell off the table trying to pounce on him: “Heh, stupid little kitten.”]

[Zhan Jinli said to the little kitten Xingxing, who was tired from playing and dozing off: “Xingxing, you are just a little kitten, do you understand what a little kitten is? You must have cat morality, do you know what cat morality is? An excellent little kitten will not extend its claws to people…”
The little kitten Xingxing was extremely annoyed and, fighting off sleepiness, showed its claws to Zhan Jinli.
Zhan Jinli said: “You still extend them! You, this little kitten who doesn’t abide by cat morality, will not be liked by anyone!”]
