“Don’t like this song? Then I’ll change it.”
Lu Ban quickly switched tracks, a child’s tender voice singing a gentle melody.
“A wide river with waves, the wind blows and both banks are fragrant with rice flowers…”
“It’s not…”
“This is the call of the heart, this is the dedication of love, this is…”
“Wrong!”
“You’re like the fire in winter, the blazing flames warming my heart…”
“That’s not what I meant!”
Qin Tiantian interrupted Lu Ban’s song switching.
“Can you really sleep at night listening to this?”
She had heard of people counting sheep to fall asleep, of those who needed the sound of thunderstorms as a sleep aid, and also of those who would start snoring three seconds after closing their eyes, but listening to a Spring Festival Gala playlist to sleep was a first for her.
And these songs, weren’t they from three or four decades ago?
Even older than Lu Ban.
It’s said that when heaven opens a door for a person, it closes another window.
It made sense that someone as handsome as Lu Ban didn’t have a girlfriend, or even any girls around him.
Qin Tiantian thought.
“Without these, I’m afraid you won’t be able to sleep.”
Lu Ban explained seriously.
“?”
Qin Tiantian was perplexed.
How could she not sleep? With this music on, only a ghost could sleep!
“Are you sure you want to turn it off? Something very unpleasant might show up.”
Lu Ban asked again for confirmation.
“…It’s all special effects!”
Qin Tiantian hesitated for a moment before speaking with certainty.
“Oh.”
Lu Ban then turned off the music player, covered himself with the blanket, and lay down on the chair.
Qin Tiantian also crawled back under her own blanket and hugged her shark toy.
She soon fell into a deep sleep.
For some reason, Qin Tiantian, who should have felt no sense of security, felt particularly comfortable sleeping on Lu Ban’s bed, as if she were back home, falling into a deep sleep after just lying down for a while.
Without dreaming, Qin Tiantian still felt something approaching her.
A cold, soft, delicate hand seemed to gently brush across her face.
Qin Tiantian’s consciousness cleared a bit.
Was it Lu Ban? Was he taking advantage of my nap to launch an unscrupulous attack on me?
She tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt heavy and wouldn’t budge.
Qin Tiantian felt the hand move from her cheek to her neck, and then a force pressed on her neck, trying to strangle her!!!
The girl felt a choking sensation and tried to kick out, but her body was as heavy as if it were filled with lead, utterly immobile.
In the darkness where even a sound could not be made, suddenly music resonated.
It was a melody that calmed one’s mind, with an underlying sense of solemnity and reverence.
Hearing this sound, Qin Tiantian immediately felt her body relax, the pressure on her neck gradually disappearing, and she opened her eyes.
“What are you doing… eh?”
Just as Qin Tiantian was about to scold Lu Ban for his nocturnal attack, she noticed that in the dim room, Lu Ban was sitting in a chair in a corner of the room, holding his phone. The screen’s light was the only source of illumination; his blanket was properly draped over him, and he was a distance away from her, obviously not having just sat back down.
At that moment, Qin Tiantian realized that her own hands were crossed in front of her, fingers clenched around her own neck as if she were trying to strangle herself!
“!!!”
Qin Tiantian was stunned, her grip almost tightening.
“Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!”
She quickly released her grip, sat up, and didn’t forget to pull her half-fallen collar back into place.
“What just happened to me?”
Qin Tiantian looked at Lu Ban incredulously. He was unmoving, only staring at the spot where Qin Tiantian was.
No, to be accurate, he was looking at a certain void behind Qin Tiantian.
Her hair stood on end, and Qin Tiantian’s neck stiffened, feeling as though something was perched on her shoulder, as if turning her head would reveal the tattered blue Lu doll giving her a ridiculously funny smile.
Lu Ban said nothing, silently turning on the music player on his phone.
“Will you remember tomorrow, the diary you wrote yesterday…”
The melodious song echoed in the room late at night, diluting the terrifying and weird atmosphere by a few degrees.
Lu Ban placed his phone to one side, indifferently turned on his computer, and continued playing music through the computer’s player. After his phone locked and was set aside, he swiveled his chair to face Qin Tiantian.
“No problem, you should go to sleep.”
“???”
Qin Tiantian felt as if she had been doused in cold water from head to toe, a myriad of questions in her head left unanswered.
This is no problem?
The problem here seems pretty big, right?
“Well, I’m not too sure either, normally, they are adversaries. I don’t know why they are collaborating today, but don’t worry, I’ve warned them. If they ever make a fuss again, I’ll change it to playing teen idol songs.”
Lu Ban added an explanation.
“Them?”
Qin Tiantian felt the muscles on her spine twitching, her body breaking out in cold sweats despite the summer heat.
“Didn’t I tell you before? There are some strange things in my room.”
Lu Ban had the look of a waiter who had warned a customer that the super spicy level was far beyond what most could handle, yet the customer still insisted on ordering the super large, super spicy dish to impress his girlfriend, only to be overwhelmed by the heat halfway through the meal and end up being taken to the hospital while his girlfriend was chatted up and taken away by a handsome guy at the next table, leaving the waiter with no choice but to dutifully clean up the dishes.
“That was just special effects, right?”
Qin Tiantian clutched her shark plush pillow.
“Do you want to hear their story? I’ve given them names, one is Ah Zhen, the other is Ah Qiang. One day…”
Lu Ban then asked.
“No, no need, I’m going to sleep right now.”
Qin Tiantian instantly lay down, covering her head with the blanket.
“Women really are a hassle.”
Lu Ban sighed and picked up his phone.
The icon on his phone had changed to the option for Silent Lands.
He checked the progress of the task.
So far, the number of followers had just reached thirteen thousand, which was more than double the amount from before!
His meticulously edited videos and the increase in followers didn’t compare to the influx driven by influencers with followers. Lu Ban couldn’t help but wonder what was going on with the world.
“It’s still a bit slow.”
Hearing the steady, deep breathing of a person deeply asleep coming from under the blanket, Lu Ban thought to himself.
“Should I do a retweet lottery?”
Lu Ban conceptualized for a moment. He didn’t have much money, and a couple of hundred yuan would only attract a limited number of followers. Perhaps something more unique would be better.
For example, bringing someone along for the next adventure seemed like a great idea.
Just as he had finished typing the draft to post the update, Lu Ban had a second thought.
The places he explored were dangerous forbidden lands, haunted houses. Everyone enjoyed watching Lu Ban’s dangerous escapades for fun, but it would be a different story if it were their turn to go.
It would be better to make it so that the person drawn could designate someone else to bring along. That way, anyone with a grudge could get revenge, and it would be a win-win for all.
“I am truly ingenious.”
Lu Ban affirmed himself, revised the draft, and was about to send it when suddenly the default ringtone of his phone started to sound.

He quickly lowered the volume so as not to wake Qin Tiantian and ruin the peace, then saw that it was an unknown number.
A phone call in the middle of the night, could there be a problem?
Lu Ban answered the phone.
