Chapter 433: – So embarrassing~
Little Sloppy was Lin Jin’s best song. Back when she was still a man, when her fake voice first came to be, this Little Sloppy had been her signature song.
At that time, she wasn’t very skilled at using a fake girl voice, but in order to pretend to be a girl online, she decided to learn a song. After choosing for a very long time, she finally decided on the simple Little Sloppy. The melody was quite monotonous and had little variation in pitch. Not to mention, back then, her fake girl voice hadn’t been perfected yet her Little Sloppy still sounded quite good. She already got a lot of praise the first time she sang it to her online friends.
It was just that the Little Sloppy she sang back then was done in a sickly sweet loli voice, so much so that even Lin Jin herself felt sick. However online, there were actually quite a bit of people who liked that overly sweet voice, for example Chen Hao back then…
Now, her voice had pretty much settled into a clear and crisp girl voice. Perhaps the black cat's transformations were quite effective as not just her body, organs, and stuff were changed, but even her voice may have been tweaked to sound more like a girl’s. Nowadays, she didn’t need to put on a fake voice or anything, so singing Little Sloppy was naturally a lot easier than before.
But... singing in front of a crowd was really not an easy thing.
Lin Jin turned to look at the college girl who was probably a fan from the stream and forced a stiff smile. Then, she noticed the eyes of the surrounding crowd on her. Her hands and feet started to go cold and her body started trembling from nervousness.
The prelude of Little Sloppy began.
Lin Jin wasn’t as nervous as she had been before, but when the music started, she still felt her mind go blank and had no idea what to do next.
"Lin Jin, sing!" Wu Min excitedly shouted.
"Little… little sloppy…" After getting the first couple of words out, only then did Lin Jin suddenly snap back to reality. She realized that only the prelude to the song had just started.
But now that she had started singing, Lin Jin realized that singing in public didn’t seem as unacceptable as she’d thought.
She nervously swallowed, closed her eyes, and tried to forget the fact that there was a crowd around her.
Finally, the prelude was over.
"Little Sloppy, really really sloppy~" Her pitch was slightly off, but thankfully, it didn’t sound bad. On the contrary, the slightly off tone made her voice sound oddly cute "He is the sloppy king, he’s really a little sloppy~"
As soon as she got through the first line, she felt much more comfortable. Before the next line, Lin Jin took a quick breath and then before she had the time to think about being nervous or afraid, she hurriedly continued singing the next part.
The surrounding spectators seemed to have also caught on that Lin Jin was here this time to build her courage. For street performances like this, there indeed would occasionally be some performing arts students who came to build up their courage. It was just that there didn’t seem to be any performing arts school around here?
Of course, the crowd didn’t think too much about the details, they just knew that the girl, who had been so scared she was almost in tears a moment ago, was now bravely singing. No one knew who started it and no one knew if it was someone booing, but anyways, the crowd followed along and gave her an enthusiastic round of applause.
As a result, Lin Jin, who had just started to get used to it, was completely caught off guard by the roaring applause.
Huh?
She opened her eyes and saw the surrounding audience clapping for her. Even more pedestrians were drawn in by the noise. Her face immediately flushed bright red. She looked around in panic, finally she turned to Teacher Lin in confusion.
Teacher Lin nodded at Lin Jin, signaling for her to continue singing. However, Lin Jin misunderstood. She blinked her big teary eyes and immediately rushed straight towards Teacher Lin, she was like an ostrich burying her head behind Teacher Lin.
"It’s so scary!" She shivered as she shrank behind Teacher Lin, her mind completely blank.
Now it was Teacher Lin and Wu Min’s turn to be confused.
Things were clearly going so well, why did Lin Jin suddenly chicken out?
Why did it feel like those times when your team has a huge advantage, but your ADC suddenly gets killed and the whole game gets turned around.
“It’s so scary!” Lin Jin muttered with a pale face “They look like they want to eat me alive.”
Teacher Lin dumbfoundedly patted Lin Jin’s head. She was completely speechless at Lin Jin who had wimped out like a dog.
Zhu Dong was also at a loss. He glanced down at the stream on his phone and noticed that most of the comments in the stream chat were talking about Lin Jin’s incompetence. Of course, there were also some encouragements.
“What’s wrong with Lin Jin?”
“The f*ck, isn’t Lin Jin too much of a coward?”
“Embarrassing, embarrassing!”
“Lin Jin this time is to build her courage, right?”
“Miss Lin Jin, you can do it!”
Teacher Lin helplessly comforted Lin Jin, who looked like a scared little rabbit. She shook her head. Since the song wasn’t finished yet, she could only take the microphone herself and continue singing Little Sloppy.
Yeah, it really was embarrassing.
Lin Jin sighed. She lifelessly squatted on the ground.
So, was this task from the black cat actually just to cultivate her sense of shame? To make her become like those big celebrities who can put on a flawless performance in front of a huge crowd?
But she didn’t even want to be a big celebrity or perform on stage. She just wanted to honestly be a beautiful salted fish and slack off.
She sighed again, even having the thought of giving up this task.
Teacher Lin finished singing Little Sloppy, but the crowd’s reaction wasn’t as enthusiastic as earlier. Clearly, the crowd liked Lin Jin’s performance more.“So, Lin Jin, what do you want now?” Teacher Lin sighed, shaking her head. “If you really can’t, then let’s forget it today. We’ll find a quieter place tomorrow and slowly get used to it before coming to Wanda again.”
Lin Jin forced a bitter smile, reluctantly agreeing with Teacher Lin’s suggestion.
So she still overestimated herself, right? Being the focus of a crowd of people really sucked.
She completely could not calm down and sing or dance properly. The moment the crowd started cheering, her entire person felt paralyzed and she was completely unable to get a word out. She felt like she really was the biggest idiot ever.
So that was to say, she could only accept Teacher Lin’s suggestion.
What could originally be considered a somewhat big event ended in just ten or so minutes. Lin Jin had her head lowered as she frustratedly followed Teacher Lin, not saying a word.
“Teacher Lin, is there any way to help me feel less shy?”
Actually, Lin Jin wasn’t usually this shy, but being stared at by so many people was really a terrifying experience. Anyone without stage experience would probably panic if they were suddenly watched and cheered on by tens or even hundreds of people.
Of course, there were also some people who had nerves of steel. But although they existed, they were probably in the minority.
So, let’s head back.
Packing up their things, Lin Jin’s first street performance just hastily ended.
