Fairy Tale Town

"Huh? Does everyone not like this song?"

Yuuka had opened Zhao Yu's livestream again. At this moment, she could also see the bullet screen. Seeing the empty livestream room, she was a bit confused.

Was it because she was singing a children's song, too childish? Or was her singing voice unpleasant?

Yuuka felt a little uneasy, like a student waiting for their teacher to grade their paper.

"No, what are you guys staring at? Praise her! Doesn't Yuuka sing well?" Zhao Yu suppressed a smile and spoke to the viewers in the livestream room.

[Shocked my mom for a whole year]

[I haven't heard such a clear and standard Three Character Classic in a long time]

[To be honest, Yuuka's rendition of these two lines of national essence is quite catchy?]

[Upstairs, you seem to have awakened a rather extraordinary fetish!]

The bullet screen finally started scrolling. Many people praised Yuuka in Japanese, which finally made Yuuka breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hehe, thank you everyone, you are all really, really good people," Yuuka said with a giggle.

[Worth it, this life is worth it]

[Ah! Yuuka is truly a little angel!]

[Damn streamer, if you corrupt Yuuka again next time, I'll definitely find a chance to stab you!]

Hiss! No way? Yuuka already has die-hard fans this quickly? Zhao Yu was stunned, his mouth twitching slightly.

For a moment, he couldn't tell if this was his livestream room or Yuuka's livestream room.

"You guys are all fair-weather friends, this is my livestream room!" Zhao Yu said heartbrokenly.

[Ah? Isn't this Yuuka's livestream room?]

[Exactly, exactly, whose livestream room is this, aren't you just the translator?]

[Let Yuuka speak more, don't cross the line, Translator-kun]

"Fine, you guys are all people who forget their friends when they see a pretty face," Zhao Yu shook his head helplessly.

[IG Awesome sent a Rocket * 10]

[IG Awesome: Yuuka is cute, streamer also acts like a person]

"No, boss, you..."

[Hahahaha hahahaha]

[Considering the streamer dug up Yuuka, I'll grudgingly classify him as human.]

"Speaking of which, what was that children's song Lord Yu just taught me?" Yuuka spoke again while Zhao Yu was interacting with the Bullet Screen.

[Here it comes, let's see how the streamer explains this.]

[LOL, he shot himself in the foot this time, didn't he?]

"It's actually just a story about an elephant and a giraffe, it doesn't have any other meaning." Zhao Yu said confidently.

He had actually thought of a solution long ago, otherwise, he wouldn't have encouraged Yuuka to sing this song.

"Huh? Is it like a fairy tale? I'm a little curious..." Yuuka asked.

"Does Yuuka like fairy tales?" Zhao Yu asked back.

"Not really, I'm just curious."

"I actually happen to know a song about fairy tales?"

"Huh! Lord Yu is going to sing it! I want to hear it!" Yuuka immediately forgot her previous curiosity.

Tsk, wasn't this easy to handle? Zhao Yu's lips curved upwards slightly.

He had actually noticed before that Yuuka was a bit like a child, easily attracted by more interesting things.

That's why he wasn't worried about Yuuka asking such a question; he just needed to attract Yuuka's attention with something else.

Coincidentally, he knew a song related to fairy tales that was very popular in '16. He just didn't know if it was as famous in this parallel world.

"Let me find the accompaniment first..." Zhao Yu said, typing "Fairy Tale Town" into Baidu.

But after searching for a long time, he couldn't find any trace of the song, which gave him a subtle premonition.

Could it be that this world didn't have this song? Zhao Yu refused to believe it. He typed in the singer's name, and the result was as expected.

No such person...

"Hiss, could this be the opportunity heaven has given me?" Zhao Yu couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Lord Yu, what's wrong?" Yuuka asked when Zhao Yu didn't react for a long time.

"It's nothing. I suddenly realized I don't have the accompaniment, so I'll just sing it for you a cappella." Zhao Yu came back to his senses and said.

Although it felt a bit unethical, since the singer didn't exist, he wasn't stealing his work, right?

After all, it was a parallel world, and it didn't affect him making money or anything.

Coincidentally, Zhao Yu himself needed some popularity beyond games and Japanese girls, and this song... might just be the start of his rise.

Sorry, Brother Angang. Zhao Yu apologized inwardly, then softly began to sing.

"I heard Snow White was running away, and Little Red Riding Hood was worried about the Big Bad Wolf. I heard the Mad Hatter liked Alice, and the Ugly Duckling would turn into a Swan..."

The youthful voice echoed in the livestream, quieting the bullet screen. They stopped discussing Yuuka and listened intently to Zhao Yu's singing.

[He's up to something new again? I've never heard this song before! Is it by some obscure singer?]

[I just searched the lyrics, and I can't find this song...]

[Didn't the streamer say the accompaniment wasn't ready? He must have written it himself, right?]

[The melody is quite nice, but the lyrics are a bit confusing.]

[Isn't he singing about fairy tales? He probably just made it up on the spot, right?]

As the bullet screen was filled with questions, Zhao Yu's singing reached the most crucial line.

"There's always a colorful river winding through Fairy Tale Town, stained with the bizarre aura of magic, yet twisting in love. It flows endlessly, splashing water, then drawing a curtain of time into the water, letting all the 'once upon a time' moments reach a happy ending."

Without this part, the song might have just seemed like a casual stringing together of fairy tales. But these perfectly placed lyrics truly brought the entire song to life.

In a dimly lit room, a young girl listened to the song from Zhao Yu's livestream, a complex expression on her face, as if recalling something.

Meanwhile, a disheveled man sat stunned in his chair, Zhao Yu's singing echoing in his mind.

On the way home, an office worker sat on the subway, seemingly remembering his carefree childhood.

Everyone has a Fairy Tale Town in their hearts, but as they grow up, it gradually becomes tainted with worldly flavors.

Time never stops, burying the childhood yearning for happy endings deep within our hearts.

And Zhao Yu's song made them remember their younger selves once again.

When the song ended, Zhao Yu coughed lightly and spoke to the livestream and Yuuka, "I didn't sing very well. I didn't prepare anything, sorry."

"Not at all! It was super good! It's just... I didn't quite understand the meaning..." Yuuka scratched her head.

"Ah! I forgot, this song also has a Japanese version. I'll sing it for you next time." Zhao Yu finally remembered that he had just sung in Chinese.

When Fairy Tale Town became popular, there was indeed a Japanese cover version. Zhao Yu had listened to it for a long time, so he still had an impression of it.

"That would be great, hehe... It's a deal then." Yuuka's eyes curved into crescent moons.

She always felt that Zhao Yu was subconsciously accommodating her, but she didn't dislike this feeling. Instead, she felt a strange sense of joy.

[So amazing! He sings so well, and he's a game streamer?]

[No way? I thought everyone was just ordinary. With you being so outstanding, how can I even live?]

[Besides the Japanese girl, I didn't expect the streamer to have this move too. Following!]

[IG Awesome sent a Rocket * 20]

[IG Awesome: Your singing is very nice, I like it very much. Can you sing the Neon version now?]

As expected, a song that became a huge hit in the last world would definitely not have a bad reaction in a parallel world. Zhao Yu thought this as he thanked the boss for the Rockets.

Perhaps... the future wouldn't just be about being a streamer anymore. Maybe he could try other ways to make money.
