Gradually Drawn to You

On the Number 18, he clearly listened to the three-minute video of Son Wuling. It was uploaded privately by Son Wuling himself, and he didn't sell it for money. After all, he wasn't short of money. Sometimes when he heard this, he felt a strange sense of nostalgia, that familiar and moving melody.

As the song ended, Number 18 sat on the sofa, feeling a strange sense of emotion from Son Wuling's performance. She couldn't quite put her finger on why. Son Wuling's singing was slightly better than average; there were no off-key notes or anything like that. Even on stage, Son Wuling was very confident, though he was still far from being a professional singer, since it was just a hobby for him.

At this moment Son Wuling in the dream stood up and said curiously, "Strange, who is it? If I'm not mistaken, it should already be evening by now. Who would be singing at this hour with nothing better to do?"

What Son Wuling was thinking at that moment was unknown to Number 18. Number 18 looked at the accompaniment CD that Gradually Drawn to You on the small table, and then glanced at the microphone.

"This... um!"

Filled with curiosity, Number 18 inserted the backing track CD, picked up the microphone, and stared intently at the screen with his blue eyes! As the music began, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it along with the song, adjusting his breathing rhythm.

Gradually, I became attracted to you, both physically and mentally.

Because of your charming smile

In that endless darkness

Fly out

Hold my hand

In his dream, Son Wuling heard Number 18 singing "Gradually Drawn to You"! It was completely different from what he had heard before. This music reminded him of the feeling he had when he first heard Sister Izumi's version.

"That voice... no... no way!"

Son Wuling's expression changed slightly, and he said in disbelief, "Number 18? No way, that cold-hearted Android can sing?"

It shocked him for a whole year. Although it couldn't compare to the Izumi Sister in his memory, Number 18's singing had a unique flavor.

Son Wuling spread his hands, took a light breath, and began to sing after the next note, exhaling slowly along with the song.

Gradually, I became attracted to you, both physically and mentally.

Fragments of hope in this universe

At this moment, Son Wuling's a cappella singing synchronized with Number 18, and this original Dragon Ball GT song Gradually Drawn to You, seemingly connecting Son Wuling and Number 18.

As the music finally ended, Son Wuling in the dream let out a soft sigh, his gaze softening considerably.

"Not bad, but what are they doing on the Number 18? It looks like I can't rest anymore. I'm also worried about Cell, who was created using my main cell!"

Just then, Number 18, who had just finished singing, suddenly noticed something and quickly turned around. There she saw Android 16 standing at the door, looking at her.

"I forgot to close the door... Android 16, did you hear that just now?"

Number 18's pretty face changed slightly. She had momentarily forgotten that she was still at Son Wuling's house, and her voice was so loud. Yet, despite the loudness, Android 17 was still completely mesmerized.

"I heard it, Number 18, and Son Wuling heard it too!"

"Son Wuling?!"

Number 18's expression changed slightly. At this moment, Son Wuling was wearing a bathrobe, which had been taken off Son Goku and Son Gohan. He was yawning and looked very tired as he stood next to Android 16.

"No way, I ate a Senzu Beans and I still feel this tired? But after another nap, I should be more recovered by tomorrow!"

Son Wuling's eyes were still bloodshot. The accumulated fatigue erupted all at once. He had barely been able to open his eyes, and his body was protesting. He forced himself to eat a Senzu Beans, but he still felt very tired. This outbreak of Heart Virus, coupled with his Heart Demon, had tormented him greatly.

"You, Son Wuling, how did you wake up! Weren't you supposed to be awake for about ten days? How come? Did I just wake you up? I'm sorry, I forgot to close the door." Number 18's face turned slightly red, not from shyness, but from embarrassment, like being caught doing something wrong.

"I woke up to your singing, but it wasn't noisy, Number 18..."

Son Wuling nestled against the doorframe, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at Number 18. He felt that there was a reason why Number 18 was included in his memories and in so many Dragon Balls fanfics; she was really beautiful. No wonder Krillin was struck by lightning and was portrayed as Popo.

Son Wuling's voice was not as cold and indifferent as usual; it carried a lack of gentleness as he said, "I heard your voice!"

Number 18 felt a sudden tremor in her heart; Son Wuling's words inexplicably stirred a flutter in her heart! The blush on her face was almost up to her neck, and her usual cold and indifferent demeanor was completely gone.

"No, what's wrong with me? I was created to kill Son Wuling and Son Goku! And Son Wuling almost killed me, so what's wrong with me? I should hate him, so why can't I look him in the eye?"

Number 18 couldn't help but think to herself, clutching her chest, her heart pounding so fast, a strange feeling, her beautiful blue eyes trembling slightly.

"It sounds great, Number 18!"

Son Wuling smiled faintly and said, "Your voice is good enough for a professional singer, Number 18. I've said that to you before, but now I'm sincerely praising you. You're very beautiful! You're gorgeous!"

This time, unlike her perfunctory attitude during their first encounter, Number 18 calmed her complex and fluttering emotions, looked at Son Wuling, her beautiful eyes narrowing, and said, "Son Wuling, you've probably fooled quite a few girls with your words, haven't you? What, you want to seduce me, don't you?"

"Ha..."

Son Wuling's mind went blank. To pick her up? No, that's not right. His words were a bit ambiguous. As for picking up girls and deceiving them, he could look and be lustful, but when it came to actually getting close to them, sorry, he rejected and protested from the bottom of his heart!

Whether in his past life or now, he has always been a bachelor, an anime enthusiast, and has never had any troublesome or upsetting things happen to him. He lives a carefree and comfortable life. Finding a girlfriend is something he feels is a waste of time and energy, and it does him no good at all.

During the naivety of adolescence, love seemed novel, but as he grew up, he realized it was all bullshit! The miserable state of his colleagues and classmates from his past life, coupled with the current characters like Vegeta, Krillin, Son Goku, Tien Shinhan, made him keep his distance from things like marriage and girlfriends.

Just as Son Wuling was about to tell Number 18 that she was being presumptuous, Number 18 looked at him and said, "I'm so sorry about earlier, I forgot to close the door. Son Wuling, please allow me to refuse you, because I am Android and you are Earthling. We are different."

Son Wuling pointed at Number 18, wanting to complain, but he was speechless and couldn't utter a word. He didn't know what to say.
