Yandere Yoko woke up.
The first thing she did upon opening her eyes was look around, searching for Lin Yi.
She didn't find him.
Yandere Yoko anxiously got out of bed. Ignoring her exhausted state, she leaned against the wall and left the bedroom.
She didn't see anyone in the living room, nor did she see anyone in the bathroom.
This made Yandere Yoko feel increasingly lost; she felt as if her heart had been crushed, causing her great pain.
Suddenly, Yandere Yoko thought of something, and she hurried toward the soundproof room.
The soundproof room was where she usually sang and practiced songs. The room was covered with soundproofing panels, so even if she yelled inside, it wouldn't bother the neighbors.
After opening the door to the soundproof room, Ono Yoko finally heard the sound of a guitar inside.
Clearly, Lin Yi was inside, which made Ono Yoko breathe a long sigh of relief.
It was truly great that he hadn't angrily left just because she had cut his face.
Lin Yi stopped playing after seeing Ono Yoko enter.
He asked, "Why aren't you resting more?"
"Because... I didn't see you." Yandere Yoko expressed her feelings without reservation.
"Ah... that's my fault, I wasn't paying attention."
Lin Yi slapped his forehead, then put down the guitar, went over, and helped Yandere Yoko sit down on a nearby chair.
"I was just reviewing the guitar... I haven't played in a while, so I'm a bit rusty."
Lin Yi said, picking up the guitar again.
"Is that so?"
Ono Yoko looked at him expectantly: "Then could you play a few songs for me?"
"Hmm... I'll play one of your songs."
Lin Yi smiled: "I already loved your songs even before I met you."
After saying that, Lin Yi started playing again.
While Ono Yoko was unconscious, Lin Yi had already learned the guitar through cheating and specifically practiced several of Ono Yoko's representative works.
Playing them naturally posed no problem.
Hearing the familiar melody, Ono Yoko happily clapped along and started singing to the tune.
The performance ended.
Ono Yoko couldn't help but say to Lin Yi, "This song is one I sang when I first started my solo career... I can't believe you know how to play it."
"I know several others, too. Listen if you don't believe me."
Lin Yi chuckled, and then he started playing the remaining representative works of Ono Yoko.
This made Ono Yoko incredibly happy.
Having her own work played by someone she liked made her feel validated!
She was filled with happiness.
After playing the few songs he had just learned, Lin Yi stopped.
He then turned and asked Ono Yoko, "Yoko, it's been about half a year since you last released A Song... Do you have any plans for new music?"
"New song? Not yet, no."
Ono Yoko shook her head.
"Oh? Really?"
After hearing this, Lin Yi showed a disappointed expression.
This caused Ono Yoko's mood to plummet immediately, reflecting Lin Yi's expression change.
She quickly explained, "That's because my schedule has been too packed recently... I have to host two variety shows, participate in other variety shows, plus filming and shooting commercials... so I haven't had time to write new songs."
After hearing her explanation, Lin Yi looked somewhat disappointed: "Although I really want to hear your new song, if your work is so busy, there's nothing we can do."
"Since you want to hear my new song so much..." After realizing Lin Yi's "inner desire," Ono Yoko immediately promised, "I... I'll see if I can cancel some unnecessary variety shows and advertisements to free up some time to create new music."
Scheduling is handled by the manager and the Agency; the celebrity themselves doesn't have much power.
However, Ono Yoko could use the excuse that "fans might stop following if she doesn't release new music soon" to indirectly influence Yamagishi Eiichi's decision.
After receiving Ono Yoko's assurance that she would release a new song as soon as possible, Lin Yi checked her favorability again.
[Name: Ono Yoko]
[favorability: 1100 points]
[Status: Mild yandere.]
Just as expected!
He couldn't let Ono Yoko focus all her attention on him; otherwise, her favorability, now that she was in a yandere state, would just keep skyrocketing.
This high number was clearly abnormal.
His recent move—urging her to release a new album—had clearly taken effect.
He had to distract her!
He needed to make her realize that love wasn't the only thing in her life!
"In that case... I'll play A Song I wrote when I was in junior high."
Lin Yi smiled, preparing to show off.
"A Song you wrote in junior high? I really want to hear it!"
Ono Yoko clenched her fists, her face full of anticipation.
"Don't get your hopes up too high, it's just something I did for fun."
After Lin Yi finished speaking, he silently used the Strategy Item [A Song].
[Please select song genre. Sad song, inspirational song, praise song...]
Naturally, it had to be A Song that would make people melt from sweetness.
[Song genre selection complete... Generating.]
[You obtained "confession balloon"]
Seeing that it was a Jay-style Love Song, Lin Yi knew he was set.
confession balloon is better suited for piano; playing it on guitar feels slightly off-key.
But it didn't matter.
At worst, he would finish playing it on the guitar and then play it on the piano later.
After thinking this.
Lin Yi slowly began to play the guitar.
He plucked the strings, playing the music, and the prelude began.
Although Ono Yoko wasn't a master-level singer, as one of the most popular singers today, she possessed extraordinary intuition regarding melody!
"This tune..."
Ono Yoko was instantly captivated by the melody; she even closed her eyes and listened intently.
The tune was cheerful and relaxed, making one feel like they were basking in a spring breeze, and listening closely made it easy to fall in love.
Ono Yoko loved this kind of melody very much. She involuntarily followed the tune and hummed softly.
While playing the guitar, Lin Yi observed the change in Ono Yoko's favorability.
It began dropping from 1100 points down to 800 points.
Good, her attention is starting to shift to the song. It seems my approach is correct.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little smug.
So what if she's a yandere?
In front of me, she still has to obediently revert to her original form, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but sing the lyrics:
"Darling, falling in love with you, from that day on, sweetness comes so easily..."
