The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 881: Chapter 859: Interstellar Superstar 29

Xiao Mei saw Anning off, feeling quite down.

Mrs. Xiao wanted to accompany her for a walk.

Xiao Mei shook her head: ”I don’t want to go out, I want to be alone for a while.”

She took some snacks upstairs.

Before returning to her room, Xiao Mei first went to see Xiao Yuan.

She saw Xiao Yuan lying peacefully, his expression serene and calm, which made her feel much better.

Previously, every time Xiao Mei saw Xiao Yuan, he appeared in pain, which made Xiao Mei conflicted and upset.

She really felt sorry for her brother, but she was powerless.

Now that Xiao Yuan wasn’t in so much pain, Xiao Mei felt a lot better.

She was grateful to Anning.

Because of Anning, Xiao Yuan could be at peace, and their family could walk out of the shadows.

Back in her room, Xiao Mei didn’t know what to do, so she turned on her main terminal, wanting to learn something.

As soon as she turned on the main terminal, she saw a lot of notifications.

On closer inspection, there was a trending topic on Anning’s livestream.

Xiao Mei immediately found Anning’s livestream room and clicked in to watch.

She saw Anning making a lute and even said she was going to record a tutorial video, which made Xiao Mei almost jump up in excitement.

Seeing so many people sending gifts, Xiao Mei also sent a lot of her pocket money as gifts.

Anning worked on the lute for a while, then put down the finished parts and took a yellowish item from the bag behind her.

The livestream chat erupted in comments.

”What is this, Sister Ning, what is this again?”

”Looks like pottery, right?”

”Can someone tell us what this is?”

Xiao Mei smiled and started to show off: ”This is an ancient musical instrument called a Xun from the Mother Star’s ancient times, even older than the lute.”

Anning glanced at the comments section: ”Indeed, this is a Xun. I’m sure everyone is tired of the continuous instrument making, so I’ll play a piece for you before ending the livestream for today. I’ll continue livestreaming tomorrow.”

She brought the Xun to her lips and began to play, surrounded by the chaos of the materials room.

A sound both ancient and desolate filled the air.

The music seemed to transport people across time and space, back to the ancient times of the Mother Star, like a call from the depths of the universe.

At this moment, the livestream room was silent, without any comments or messages.

All the viewers in the livestream, billions of them, quietly listened to Anning’s performance.

No one made any extra movements, nor did anyone leave.

No one knew how long had passed—it could have been just a moment, or it could have been a long time—but when Anning finished the piece, many were still lost in it.

The music was truly beautiful, unlike anything in the interstellar era. It had a primitive quality, a bit melancholy, yet somewhat grand.

This piece was so different from today’s heavy metal music.

If heavy metal music strikes directly at the soul, this piece evokes deep memories of the past and a reverence for the universe...

After a moment of blankness, the livestream room exploded again.

”Wow, what immortal music is this?”

”I love it, I love it, I’ve completely fallen for Sister Ning from now on.”

”Sister Ning, I love you.”

”Sister Ning, I want to marry you.”

”Sister Ning, what is the name of this piece?”

A slew of questions flashed across the comments section.

Anning laughed and replied, ”This piece is called Chu Song, a song from the ancient Chu region. There’s also a very tragic story about Chu Song, which I’ll tell you in the next livestream.”

”No, we want to hear it now.”

”Sister Ning, tell us now, if you don’t, I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

”I want to hear the story.”

”Sister Ning...”

Another wave of gifts came flying in.

But Anning still determinedly shut down the livestream.

”Ah!”

Xiao Mei screamed in frustration when she saw the livestream screen go black: ”Sister Ning is really too bad, too bad.”

Many others wanted to curse Anning just like her.

But, although so many fans wanted to scold Anning, they couldn’t bring themselves to do it.

They still had a special fondness for Anning in their hearts, and no matter what, they couldn’t bear to blame her. After all, this was their idol, and what could they do if she was so willful? They could only indulge her.

Even though Anning wouldn’t tell the story, fans continued to pester her without giving up.

After Anning went offline, many fans sought out history experts to learn about the story of Chu Song.

However, the history of the Mother Star was too ancient, and most people did not know about it. Even those who studied history were not very clear on the things of ancient times. Fans asked many people but got no clear answers, each turning circles in anxiety.

Just as they said, that night, countless people couldn’t sleep.

Fang Xiaolian also watched Anning’s livestream.

After watching, she bit her lower lip, feeling suddenly scared.

She hadn’t expected Anning to know so much and even be able to play the Xun, an instrument that few people knew how to play even before she crossed over.

Fang Xiaolian came from an ordinary background and had no special talents. She could play the piano, but only a few simple pieces, unable to handle anything complex.

She really didn’t understand traditional instruments like this.

When she heard Anning mention Chu Song, she couldn’t help but wonder if Anning had also crossed over.

If not, why would she know so much about the Mother Star’s history?

After thinking for a while, she couldn’t help but shake her head; Anning probably wasn’t a transmigrant.

After all, Anning knew too much, mastering advanced computer skills and many other skills modern people definitely wouldn’t have, like assembling robots, which was clearly the expertise of a professional in the interstellar era.

But if Anning wasn’t a transmigrant, where had she learned so much?

At this moment, Fang Xiaolian felt somewhat resentful.

She thought, it must be because Anning came from a good family, and The Cuis provided her with many opportunities to learn various things, and her spiritual power was exceptionally high, making it easy for her to learn quickly, just like a person with high intelligence could quickly grasp and understand things.

Fang Xiaolian was intensely jealous.

Her spiritual power was lacking, her background was poor, so was she destined to be overshadowed by Anning?

Fang Xiaolian connected to Cui Anlin’s communications, and soon, Cui Anlin’s image appeared before her.

”An Lin.”

Fang Xiaolian looked at Cui Anlin aggrievedly: ”I really feel sorry for you, Sister Ning... she and you are direct siblings, but she hides so many things from you. You haven’t done anything to her, yet she doesn’t trust you and even deliberately hurts you. She said on the reality show that you were jealous of her and afraid to show your spiritual power, An Lin, where does that leave you? What are you supposed to do? Now many fans are criticizing you; she’s obviously trying to ruin your reputation on purpose.”
