I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 516: Chapter 516: Sing Quickly
Speaking of Du Lai, Bai Youwei glanced towards the door subconsciously, “… Du Lai has been gone for a while, hasn’t he? Why hasn’t he returned yet?”

“It’s dark outside, finding the running-chime woman safely might not be easy.” Shen Mo asked them, “Can you still hear that opera singing?”

Bai Youwei and Fu Miaoxue nodded almost simultaneously.

“The sound isn’t as loud as before, but I can still hear it clearly.” Bai Youwei furrowed her brows slightly, murmuring, “If only we knew what the singing was about…”

Since coming out of the dollhouse, she was very sensitive to the dolls in the game.

Since coming out of the hide-and-seek game, she was very sensitive to the sounds in the game, always feeling that there could be some key clues hidden in them.

But she couldn’t understand Beijing Opera, let alone Fujian Opera?

Bai Youwei looked at Fu Miaoxue, asking: “Do you understand what she’s singing?”

“That… should be lyrics from ‘Woman’s Destiny.’” Fu Miaoxue pondered for a moment, saying, “Actually, I also can’t quite remember, but when she sings this tune, I can recall a few lines…”

Fu Miaoxue cleared her throat, humming slowly along with the mournful tune amidst the sound of rain:

“In an instant…

In an instant, the cold air strikes people, thick clouds cover all around.

I can only adjust my clogs, dare not pause.

In a deserted wilderness, nowhere to shelter.

In waves, oh,

In waves, the bitter wind and rain soaks my clothes.

Ah——oh——

Oh heavens! I am weak and helpless, not leaving my family.

Just for my husband’s remains, I have trudged over mountains and waded through rivers, enduring great hardships.

Suddenly encountering wind and rain, the thunder does not stop its thunderclap.

Scaring me to the point my liver and intestines shatter, trembling with fear.

Liver and intestines shatter, trembling with fear…

Ah…”

The clear and sweet voice of Fu Miaoxue was much more pleasant than the distant eerie female voice.

She sang the lyrics in Mandarin for Bai Youwei and Shen Mo to hear, then said: “‘Woman’s Destiny’ has several long sections following it, but the voice outside did not continue singing. She’s been repeating the section I just sang. Just looking at the words, it doesn’t seem suspicious.”

Bai Youwei couldn’t figure it out either.

After some thought, she pulled out a pen and paper from her canvas bag, deciding to write down Fu Miaoxue’s lyrics.

“Sing it again, I’ll write it down.”

Fu Miaoxue remarked:” Your bag really has everything in it. You even prepared a pen and paper…”

Previously, she had heard Du Lai say to be careful of Bai Youwei, even mentioning she was a bit strange.

Could it be that Bai Youwei, like Doraemon, has a magic pocket?

Fu Miaoxue reached out to touch the canvas bag.

… The feel was quite ordinary, just a regular canvas bag, and no information came to her mind.

That means the canvas bag is not a prop.

“Hurry up and sing.” Bai Youwei looked at her somewhat bewildered, “Let’s write down the lyrics so we can find clues together.”

Fu Miaoxue absentmindedly responded.”

Without Du Lai, she lacked motivation.

Just as she prepared to sing again, she caught a glimpse of a figure reflected in the window, and her heart leaped with joy: “My boyfriend’s back!”

Shen Mo and Bai Youwei both looked over, and saw an unfamiliar figure had appeared at the window, judging by the height and build, it looked like Du Lai.

Fu Miaoxue went to open the door cheerfully.

But when she got to the door she stopped, feeling that something was amiss.

The figure in the window remained motionless.

Not making a sound, nor showing any sign of movement…

Fu Miaoxue remained silent for a few seconds. For some reason, she backed off a couple of steps, whispering to Shen Mo and Bai Youwei: “Du Lai left over the south wall, but this figure… seems to have come from the east corridor…”
