Yan Qi’s expression turned slightly troubled at her father’s request.
“Dad, did you forget why we came out today?”
Hearing his daughter’s question, Yan Zhenyi paused before quickly replying,
“How could I forget? We came out to buy new phones for you and your mom.”
Only after saying this did he realize his mistake and hurriedly apologized,
“Sorry, I forgot you don’t have a phone right now.”
“It’s fine, Dad. Once we get the new phones, I’ll download Electronic Diva Jizige’s song right away so you and Mom can listen.”
“Good. Then let’s hurry to the phone store and get your new phones.”
With that, the topic of Electronic Diva Jizige was set aside, and the family no longer lingered on the street.
Soon, they continued toward their destination—the Chrysanthemum Phone Store.
After walking for over ten minutes and taking a few bus stops, they arrived at the store, its sign adorned with a prominent chrysanthemum logo.
“Alright, we’re here. Come on in and pick out the phones you want,” Yan Zhenyi said as they stepped off the bus, gesturing toward the store.
Without much discussion, Yan Qi and Li Caifeng nodded and followed him inside.
After browsing the selection, Yan Qi and her mother each chose their new phones.
With a swift swipe of his card—spending 7,000 yuan—Yan Zhenyi finalized the purchase, and the two brand-new Chrysanthemum phones became theirs.
At the service center next door, they replaced their destroyed SIM cards.
Once her phone was set up, Yan Qi didn’t forget her promise to her father. She opened the built-in music app and searched for Electronic Diva Jizige’s account.
Finding it quickly, she used a bit of data to download the song she had sung while transformed.
Stepping back onto the bustling street—where playing music wouldn’t disturb others—Yan Qi eagerly asked her father,
“Dad, I’ve downloaded Electronic Diva Jizige’s song. Do you want to listen now?”
“Oh, it’s already downloaded?”
Yan Qi smiled.
“Yep! I got it while you were chatting with the store clerk earlier.”
Remembering their earlier agreement, Yan Zhenyi nodded.
“Since it’s ready, go ahead and play it for us.”
“Okay, you won’t be disappointed! But before we start, let’s move to that pavilion across the street so we don’t bother anyone.”
Getting her father’s approval, Yan Qi pointed to a nearby resting pavilion.
Yan Zhenyi glanced at his wife, who nodded in agreement, before saying,
“Sure, we’ve got time.”
With that, the family crossed the street and settled into the quiet pavilion.
Once her parents were seated, Yan Qi tapped the play button without hesitation.
The instrumental track of The Courageous Ones—the song she had sung as Electronic Diva—flowed from her phone’s speakers, instantly capturing Yan Zhenyi and Li Caifeng’s attention.
The melody was irresistibly catchy, impossible to ignore.
As the prelude built to its climax, the Electronic Diva’s one-of-a-kind voice joined in, blending seamlessly with the music into a breathtaking harmony.
The resulting song was unlike anything Yan Zhenyi and Li Caifeng had ever heard, leaving them utterly mesmerized.
Only when the final notes faded did they snap out of their daze, still craving more.
“I never expected this new singer you mentioned to compose such an incredible song—and her voice is just as amazing! She’s truly something else,” Li Caifeng praised, her tone full of pleasant surprise.
“That voice… once isn’t enough. Xiao Qi, can you play it a few more times?” Yan Zhenyi pleaded, already completely won over as a fervent fan.
Seeing their reactions, Yan Qi—the very singer they were praising—couldn’t help but feel delighted.
She happily obliged.
“Of course!”
With that, she restarted The Courageous Ones on her phone.
After five or six replays, Yan Zhenyi finally looked satisfied. Beside him, Li Caifeng wore the same contented expression.
“Should I play it again?” Yan Qi asked with a smile.
Thanks to the Electronic Diva’s skill—subtly purging their mental fatigue—Yan Zhenyi now looked refreshed.
“Not for now,” he replied.
Turning to her mother, who had also been listening intently, Yan Qi asked,
“How about you, Mom? Want to hear it again?”
Similarly revitalized, Li Caifeng shook her head.
“I’m good for now too.”
“In that case, let’s head home,” Yan Qi suggested.
But just as she spoke—
“Wait a second, young lady!”
A voice suddenly called out to her.
