Chapter 47

Page Forty-Six Shine Brightly! Lady Thunder Meow Meow!

As Tián Qiàn said, Lady Thunder Meow Meow’s third song was still performed behind the curtain.

Without deliberately lowering her voice, Lady Thunder Meow Meow’s full-throated girlish voice was like sweet honey, resonating with the drumbeats and striking the heart. It was beyond just “cute.”

“I’m not just someone who puts on a brave front” (I am no longer the one who only acts tough)

“It’s time to release the gathered power” (Now is the time to unleash the accumulated strength)

If the first song was like the breeze, and the second was like a raging fire, then this third song was undoubtedly like flowing water, a stream with fish leaping out occasionally.

However, because she didn’t appear even after finishing the song, some people began to suspect that she was lip-syncing. Some nitpickers thought they had discovered the truth and were excited, as if they had been injected with something, saying unpleasant things from below the stage.

“Drip drip drip drip drip”

It wasn’t the sound of a Stand user, just the sound of Uncle Léi Là tapping his foot. Perhaps thinking about seeing Lady Thunder Meow Meow in the next song, the man’s right leg had already become tense like a pile driver.

“How noisy, Uncle, can you stop tapping your foot?”

Since I was sitting on the same sofa as him, his tapping had already transferred through my thigh to the sofa, causing me to feel the movement too.

“An impatient man.” Yueyue Jie seized the opportunity to mercilessly criticize Uncle Léi Là.

“Speaking of which, what was the reason for your divorce?” Only after asking did I realize that the question might be sensitive, “Sorry, if you don’t want to talk about it, pretend I never asked.”

Uncle Léi Là shook his head, showing he didn’t mind, and spoke in a casual tone as if buying vegetables at the market.

“Oh, actually, nothing much, she wanted me to quit my job and stay home to be a house husband, taking care of the kids. Can you believe it? A man in his thirties with hands and feet could accept such conditions?”

“I don’t really care about how much money you make each month. If you resign honestly, wouldn’t the child be less likely to go astray?”

“Is it about money? I am a proud People’s Policeman!”

“Hmph, maybe someday even your life will be glorious.”

“Don’t just talk about me. Have you ever taken the time to be with your child?”

“It’s easy to say, but the company is still in its growth phase. Where do I find the time?”

“Enough!” Seeing these two about to get into another argument, I reached out to stop them, “I already know the reasons for your divorce.”

Both of them expected the other to give up part of their work to take care of the family and Lady Thunder Meow Meow, while neither was willing to let go of their own careers. This escalation of conflict led to their divorce.

“Though as an outsider, I shouldn’t interfere, but as parents, you both are quite terrible.”

“Guh…”

“In fact, I grew up in a single-parent household without a mother, and my dad wasn’t very good at being around me either. Even though we lived in the same house, we might not see each other for days. So I can understand the feelings of runaway children quite well.”

“Really? Sorry…” Tián Qiàn suddenly apologized earnestly.

I looked at Tián Qiàn with confusion, not understanding why she was apologizing.

She scratched the back of her head, somewhat embarrassed, “Didn’t I yell at you before, thinking everyone has a happy family? I didn’t realize you also had family issues, so I felt I needed to apologize… Maybe it’s due to hormonal changes? It feels a bit unlike something I would normally say.”

Of course, it’s because of the Beautiful Girl’s notebook!

“You guys worry about your own matters. Lady Thunder Meow Meow has only one song left. Two of you, just like Sister Xiàn said, even if she is your son, legally, she isn’t your daughter now. If you don’t change or compromise, you won’t be able to bring her back.”

Yueyue Jie glanced at the curtain on the stage, pondering slowly, “If she truly wants to continue on the path of becoming an idol, I can tailor the most perfect plan for her career, and Far Moon Entertainment can provide her with an extraordinary budget.”

My face twisted again. The Yueyue Jie speaking now made me angry, “Are you serious? Why does she want to be an idol? Why would she rather hang out with Tián Qiàn instead of going home? Don’t you understand the reasons yet?”

Maybe feeling my cold gaze, she placed her hand on her forehead, “I understand what you mean. I’ll try to make time to have dinner with her.”

“Eating together isn’t the point. The key is concern… What about the uncle?”

“When I’m not busy, I’ll meet her…”

“No, meeting your own child should be prioritized over work! If both of you can make time for your family, I think reconciliation isn’t impossible.”

“Re-reconciliation?”

“If you truly want to make up for the love she lost over the years, reconciliation is the best way to give her and yourselves a complete family.”

Both fell into deep thought, occasionally exchanging glances. Why was I giving psychological counseling to these incompetent parents and trying to reconcile them…

Am I some kind of community aunt?

“Sorry for keeping everyone waiting! Now, please welcome Lady Thunder Meow Meow to perform today’s finale and her long-awaited debut!”

After some pleasantries, the hostess got straight to the point, as the audience’s curiosity was already at its peak.

“Suppose I saw the sky break apart…”

The clear, unaccompanied singing came again, the unadorned girlish voice carrying a hint of naivety, like a sour-sweet unripe fruit.

In the midst of the song, the white curtain finally began to rise, marking the start of the long-awaited debut.

Black boots and stockings that went above the knee outlined a beautiful leg line.

Above the fair thigh was a bright yellow pleated skirt, adorned with starry golden sequins that sparkled on the stage.

Even if she became a girl, she still loved the color yellow so much.

The sleeveless shirt underneath was also yellow, the hem reaching just to the ribs, with the low-waist pleated skirt revealing a slender waist and flat stomach.

But an all-yellow outfit might seem monotonous and tacky, so she wore a dark blue sleeveless jacket like the night sky. The long hem of the jacket draped down to the skirt, creating a stark contrast with the gold.

Her golden hair, the same color as Thunder Tiger’s, was tied into twin tails on both sides, with sparkling eyes like stars. Lady Thunder Meow Meow’s confident aura was almost identical to Yueyue Jie’s, very cool.

Thunder Tiger was handsome to begin with, and Lady Thunder Meow Meow’s appearance didn’t differ much from before. Even now, one could still faintly see Thunder Tiger’s features. However, her temperament was completely different from that of the violent and brooding gang leader. This proud confidence and youthful vitality were truly admirable, showing the power of a teenage idol.

Yes, this Lady Thunder Meow Meow, who exuded both coolness and cuteness, was the real deal!

“Break me, more and more, feel me more…”

Once the curtain rose above Lady Thunder Meow Meow’s head, the live band’s accompaniment started, blending with her singing to intensify the already high spirits from her dazzling debut.

Glancing sideways, I saw Yueyue Jie and Uncle Léi Là with wide eyes, looking incredulously at the blonde girl singing and waving to the crowd on stage.

“Let’s reconcile!” Uncle Léi Là blurted out.

“Huh? Old Lei, are you crazy? Suddenly bringing this up?”

Uncle Léi Là turned to look at Yueyue Jie seriously, his expression solemn, and said word by word.

“I want to give her a complete family… I want to hear her call me Dad.”

The author’s note:

The third song is the ED2 of Little Witch Academia, “Transparent Wings,” a song filled with the warmth and cuteness of a young girl.

The fourth song is “Our Battlefield” from Triangle Heart, a song no less intense than “Girigiri Love Poison.”
