15 – Goddеss’s Теаrs
Тhе mоst perfесt singing vоiсе?
Lose onеsеlf?
Jiang Ning is a singеr, and to bесоmе а quеen оf thе musiс industrу, her musicаl accomрlishmеnts arе nаturаllу еxtrаоrdinаry.
She dоеsn’t neеd this kind of bewitching аbility. Lоsing oneself—wоuldn’t that аffeсt оne’s mind?
Jiang Ning rеfused outright: “I don’t wаnt it.”
Dоn’t wаnt it?
Хiao Jiu wаs stunnеd аgаin: “Host, whу don’t уou want it? Yоu’re a singеr. This rewаrd is nothing but benefiсiаl fоr yоu.”
“It mаkes peоplе lоse their minds. I dоn’t want to hаrm othеrs аs а priсe.”
So thаt was the rеаsоn.
Xiao Jiu suddenly burst into laughter.
Jiаng Ning’s mind wаs filled with its wild, 360-degree surrоund sоund laughter.
Hеr dеlicate eyebrows furrowed tightly: “What are you laughing at?”
“Hahaha, Host, losing one’s mind is just a saying from the legend. The reward you received doesn’t have that function. It’s just a metaphor for making your singing voice more perfect.”
It wouldn’t harm others, which reassured Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was still lying in bed when suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside. The director’s loudspeaker blared: “Jiang Ning, time to get up. There’s a new task today.”
Dedicated fans had already woken up and were waiting in the livestream.
Because of the show recording, although the cameras weren’t turned on at night, Jiang Ning still dressed modestly.
In home pajamas, long sleeves and pants.
She was lying under the covers and, upon hearing the call, responded: “Okay, just a moment.”
As soon as she spoke, Jiang Ning froze instantly.
She covered her mouth in shock, her eyes wide with disbelief.
The sound that had just escaped her throat was melodious and graceful, like the clear, crisp trickle of a spring from a deep forest valley, or the mysterious, enchanting call of a nocturnal spirit bird—bewitching to the extreme.
Jiang Ning’s voice had always been pleasant, but hearing this sound now, she finally understood what true heavenly music was.
So perfect, without a single flaw.
Was this the Siren’s Voice?
No wonder Xiao Jiu said it could intoxicate people to the point of losing themselves.
With such a voice, who could resist its temptation?
Jiang Ning’s voice not only stunned her but also left the staff outside the door and Gu Chi momentarily speechless.
Within moments, everyone’s faces flushed with an unusual redness.
A unanimous thought crossed their minds: So Jiang Ning’s voice when she first wakes up is actually this captivating.
Jiang Ning’s vocal tone still retained her original quality. The Siren’s Song didn’t change her voice but enhanced its charm based on her existing vocal characteristics.
So, although everyone was enchanted enough to blush, they didn’t find anything particularly strange about it.
Gu Chi’s ears turned bright red. Seeing the directors’ reactions, his thick, dark eyebrows furrowed deeply. He coughed once to remind Jiang Ning: “Senior Jiang, the livestream has already started.”
The director and the others finally snapped out of it, laughing loudly to dispel the awkwardness of being so captivated.
Jiang Ning asked Xiao Jiu in her mind: “Xiao Jiu, what should I do? Can this voice be taken back?”
Even she felt her ears tingle upon hearing it. Using such a voice to speak to others every day would be like intentionally seducing people, wouldn’t it?
She had no interest in being a siren.
Xiao Jiu hesitated: “Isn’t it good to have such a beautiful voice?”
This voice would undoubtedly be even better for singing, but using it for everyday conversation was a bit excessive.Xiao Jiu understood her thoughts and explained, “If you deliberately suppress it, you can still control it during normal speech because the Siren’s voice changes according to emotions. If your emotions are stable, you can control the Siren’s Song, but you cannot retract it.”
So it could be controlled. Jiang Ning felt much more at ease.
She tried to stabilize her emotions and replied to Gu Chi, “Okay, I’ll be right out.”
This time, it sounded perfectly normal, just like Jiang Ning’s usual speaking voice.
Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and outside, Gu Chi also relaxed. His dark eyes, deep as thick ink, now seemed to hold a misty dampness, innocent yet tinged with shyness.
The program recording started very early in the morning, so there weren’t many fans watching the live stream at that hour.
But there were still quite a few.
Jiang Ning’s voice had sent the fans waiting in the live stream into a frenzy.
“Ahhh, is this my goddess’s voice right after waking up? Oh my god, it’s so captivating, I’m dying.”
“Heaven knows my ears went half numb. Turns out I don’t just like guys with nice voices—I like anyone with a nice voice. Wuwu, my goddess is absolutely amazing.”
“I’m dead, don’t bother me.”
“Am I the only one who noticed the director and Junior Brother Gu Chi’s reactions? Hahaha, they’re too adorable.”
“Chi Chi’s face is all red, it’s hilarious. The other guys too, their faces are flushed red.”
“Hey, you there, who are you laughing at? Dare you say your heart didn’t flutter when you heard the goddess’s voice?”
With the filming still waiting outside, Jiang Ning hurried out in her pajamas without even glancing in a mirror.
When Jiang Ning opened the door and her stunning face appeared on camera, everyone noticed how pale she looked, with red, bloodshot eyes.
Her hair was even more disheveled.
She looked as though she had cried hard the night before, her hair messy, yet she remained breathtakingly beautiful. A profound sense of fragility washed over her, delicate and pitiable.
Seeing Jiang Ning’s appearance, the director couldn’t help but recall the conversation he had overheard the night before.
So she really did know about Ye Chen and Jiang Zhi’s affair.
He truly couldn’t understand what Ye Chen was thinking—throwing away gold for a worthless sesame seed.
The director was an upright person and had always despised affairs and mistresses.
So in his eyes, Jiang Zhi had already become that worthless sesame seed.
When Gu Chi saw Jiang Ning’s slightly reddened eyes, he instinctively thought of what she had said the night before. She claimed she didn’t like Ye Chen—was that really true?
Yesterday, in front of Ye Chen, she hadn’t cried for long.
If she hadn’t hidden away and cried for a long time afterward, her eyes definitely wouldn’t look like this today.
Thinking of her hiding alone in sorrow, Gu Chi felt a heavy weight in his heart.
So she had only been putting on a brave face in front of him.
“You…”
The director looked at Jiang Ning, wanting to say something, but realizing the live stream had already started, he smiled and changed the subject. “There’s a new task today. Hurry up and gather outside.”
The fans were incredibly perceptive, immediately sensing something amiss from the director’s hesitant expression.
Seeing Jiang Ning like this, the fans began speculating about what had happened to her.
Of course, no one gave them a clear answer at that moment.
Everyone gathered on the lawn outside the villa.
He Ziyu, as Jiang Ning’s little fan, waved to her from afar upon seeing her and enthusiastically called out, “Good morning, Sister Ning.”
Jiang Ning smiled and replied, “Good morning.”Because she had successfully set up Ye Chen and Jiang Zhi last night, seeing them now put her in an especially good mood, so much so that she once again failed to control her voice.
However, this time, due to her brightened spirits, her voice wasn’t as heart-wrenching as before.
Clear and melodious, it resembled the cheerful song of an oriole, pleasant and soothing to the ear.
Yet, paired with her slightly reddened eyes, it made the fans in the livestream feel as though she was forcing a smile.
The fans felt both heartache and curiosity.
“What’s wrong with Ningningzi? It feels like she has something on her mind.”
“Same here, the goddess seems to have encountered something really upsetting.”
He Ziyu, hearing the goddess’s overly enchanting voice, hadn’t even had time to feel happy before noticing Jiang Ning up close and sharing the same thoughts as the fans in the livestream.
The goddess seemed unhappy, as if forcing a smile—what had happened?
Ye Chen and Jiang Zhi also turned their attention to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Zhi, seeing Jiang Ning as if she had been crying for a long time, felt an inexplicable sense of superiority.
So what if she’s a pop diva?
The man she likes is deeply in love with her.
Ye Chen, however, felt differently from Jiang Zhi. Seeing Jiang Ning’s reddened eyes, he felt a pang of guilt and pity. So Jiang Ning’s feelings for him ran this deep…
Gu Chi, displeased with the way Ye Chen was looking at Jiang Ning, deliberately walked over and stood beside her, blocking Ye Chen’s blatant gaze.
Jiang Ning was also skilled at acting. Having laid the groundwork last night, she continued to weave her web today.
Thus, as she passed by Ye Chen, she cast him a seemingly casual glance before quickly looking away.
That glance was filled with deep affection, and the hurried shift in her gaze carried a hint of heartache.
This moment was perfectly captured by the camera.
However, the shot flashed by too quickly for most fans to process, with only a few noticing it.
While other fans in the comments screamed “Ahhh!”, the few who had seen it quietly remarked, “The goddess must have argued with Ye Chen. Wuwu, the way she looked at him was so heartbreaking.”
But their comments were soon buried in the flood of messages.
Today’s task format differed from last night’s. Yesterday, they were paired in twos, but today the director decided on a last-minute change: all seven participants would be divided into two groups to complete the tasks.
This was different from the plot Jiang Ning had experienced in her previous nine resets.
In those nine times, the tasks for this show were always arranged in pairs, which meant Jiang Zhi ended up teamed with Ye Chen every time.
