The Nineteenth Sentence Part 2

The next day.

For the first time ever, Cloud Dweller did a livestream on Monday night.

His old ways of doing things seemed to have become disrupted and it started from when he confirmed that he would be making a trip to Rong City. He was doing more of whatever he wanted, and he was doing it more often.

Pu Tao naturally received this notification.

It had been nearly a day since they contacted each other. It forced them to have a critical moment of being “calm”.

Calm. But it was impossible to be calm.

Pu Tao did the craziest thing she had ever done since she was born.

That morning, after producing a one square kilometer map super efficiently, she rushed to the HR department and earnestly asked for this year’s annual vacation. She said that she had something extremely important to do.

Considering her excellent performance and how she rarely asked for a vacation, her boss approved it.

In the afternoon, Pu Tao packed and bought a high-speed train ticket to Shan City and embarked on a long journey: she was making first steps towards a love she could not lose out on.

There are many trains from Rong City to Shan City, and the trip was short. Pu Tao arrived quickly. ·̩̩̥͙＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ ꜱᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʀᴀɴꜱʟᴀᴛᴏʀ ᴀɴᴅ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴏɴ ꜰᴏxᴀʜᴏʟɪᴄ.ᴄᴏᴍ ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊·̩̩̥͙

She dragged her suitcase out. While she stood in the middle of the crowd, she searched for Cloud Dweller’s bookstore address on the GPS.

One was in Yuzhong and the other was in Jiangbei.

Pu Tao thought about it for a moment and chose Yuzhong. Then, she called a taxi.

She was tired by the time she arrived at The Heart’s Storage Spot. When she was approaching it, the bookstore was not closed yet. There were many people sitting there drinking tea. Customers were whispering, quietly moving around. Some were wandering around, while others were taking photos of the store’s unique decor.

The sound of Pu Tao’s suitcase wheels was a little abrupt, and she immediately picked it up and walked in.

A woman at the counter saw and signaled the store clerk to help her.

A handsome boy came to her side and carried it for her.

Pu Tao was about to decline, but the boy enthusiastically took it. “It’s my pleasure.”

He asked, “Did you just arrive or are you leaving?”

Pu Tao replied, “I have just arrived.”

The boy had a look in his eyes, it was a bit of pride. “Did you go to our store as soon as you arrived?”

Pu Tao smiled. “That’s right.”

She found an empty seat, and the boy put the suitcase down. He asked Pu Tao what she wanted to drink.

She raised her head. “An americano.”

The boy nodded and said okay.

When the coffee came, Pu Tao had just entered the Cloud Dweller’s livestream.

She put on her headphones and kept taking deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling. It relieved the extreme tension and stimulation from her ignoring her rationality.

From her headphones, the man had begun to talk.

The steady voice was spreading. It was like the moon setting as the frost came and the wind was knocking on the window of her heart.

“Today’s livestream is a little sudden.”

“But it is also not very sudden.”

Pu Tao began to fill up her money.

He said she was prostituting him for free.

Thus, she was going to make up all the “prostitution fees” tonight.

Everything would go back to zero, and they could start out again as equals with their real life identities.

The on screen comments quickly came through.

“I just want to be honest about something.”

“I’ve been voice acting for three years. I went to the conl yesterday because I wanted to meet everyone. At the same time, I wanted to meet someone.”

He said slowly:

“A girl I like. She lives in Rong City.”

Pu Tao’s hand to throw the gifts paused.

At this moment, the on screen comments were nearly in a frenzy. Some people were heartbroken, some people were booing.

Cloud Dweller seemed to be considering his words.

“I am just an ordinary person in real life. I am grateful that radio dramas have given me a special kind of experience in life.”

“I never thought I would be deeply loved by fans because of my voice acting. But I don’t want to keep hiding it. It will not be good for everyone or for her.”

Pu Tao’s heart was filled up with an unusual and unfamiliar feeling of warmth, but it made her feel peaceful.

At the same time, she panicked so much that she began to throw out all the gifts she had. She was like a child caught red handed and was trying to get rid of any suspicions.

“Don’t waste your money.”

She could always be easily found by him in the enormous crowd. The man was laughing.

“You know that’s not what I’m talking about.”

Oh my god! Who? Who? Who? AAaahhhh!

The on screen commentators had goosebumps. One after another they screamed and went on an intense search.

Unfortunately, the entire livestream had been injected with chicken blood 1 . The gifts she gave were already gone, and the name Pu Pu Pu Tao had been drowned out by the comments.

Inside Pu Tao’s body, there was a crazy rabbit jumping. Her ears were red and she took a big sip of coffee.

Is this what he likes? She was so confused that she completely lost her sense of taste, and this iced Americano coffee only had a cooling effect.

Why did I come here all of a sudden? She was silent, speechless, and could not think of anything to say. She was going to be awake until dawn.

……

Cheng Su went off the livestream.

Pu Tao was still sitting in the bookstore, swirling her cell phone. She didn’t know how she should react.

The message from Cheng Su arrived punctually: “Have you thought about it?”

Pu Tao: “What about you?”

Cheng Su: “I’ve been thinking about how to reassure you all day.”

Pu Tao: “The tens of thousands of fans you just got yesterday will be gone today, and maybe even the previous fans will leave.”

Cheng Su: “That’s fine.”

Cheng Su: “To you, I’m just Cheng Su.”

Pu Tao’s nose was tingling because of these two sentences, so she sniffled hard and typed very quickly: “Are you ready?”

Cheng Su: “For what?”

Pu Tao was so emotional that her eyes were watery, “To listen to my answer.”

Cheng Su: “Tell me.”

Pu Tao: “I asked for a vacation, and now I am sitting in your store—the Shan City one. Yesterday, we separated. Today, I came here to surprise you. Excuse my recklessness because I like you so much that I really can’t think of a better answer.”

The author has something to say:

Young people. Tsk tsk.
