At this moment, Sylvia’s expression appeared somewhat unnatural, and her inner feelings were tinged with a hint of irritation.
(Just because I wanted to avoid mentioning this, that’s why I waited so long to contact you!)
Otherwise, Sylvia would have contacted Fang Li much earlier.
But for Sylvia, finding Ursula was the most important thing.
The reason Sylvia had come to this Asterisk City, entered Queenvail Girls’ Academy, and become the world’s number one Diva was all to find Ursula, her Teacher.
If it weren’t for this, Sylvia’s unselfish personality might not have driven her to strive so hard to become a world-class famous idol.
In this situation, Sylvia had managed to endure for over a month without contacting Fang Li. However, this was also because she speculated that Fang Li still didn’t know Ursula’s whereabouts, which allowed her to endure for so long.
After all, Fang Li had previously mentioned that he possessed clues, not knowledge of Ursula’s whereabouts. Otherwise, Sylvia would have visited him much earlier.
But now, with just a single sentence from Fang Li, he had easily shattered over a month of Sylvia’s efforts.
In response, Sylvia could only smile wryly and somewhat angrily said, “You really don’t know how to be considerate.”
“Well, I’m sorry, but my motto is ‘an eye for an eye,'” Fang Li grinned and said, “Who made you enjoy teasing me so much?”
“You are a petty man,” Sylvia’s cheeks even started to puff up as she said, “Be careful you don’t end up without a girlfriend in the future.”
“It’s alright,” Fang Li casually returned, “After all, I have you as a backup.”
Sylvia was nearly left speechless by that statement.
If anyone else had heard that, they might have felt the urge to throttle Fang Li.
Making the world’s number one Diva a backup?
Only you could come up with something like that, right?
However, Sylvia had a second thought. Reflexively, she asked, “Is this your way of confessing?”
As soon as these words left her mouth, Sylvia regretted them.
Wasn’t this making the conversation steer further into that direction?
Clearly, this was something she had been trying hard to avoid!
However, the next moment, Sylvia found herself falling into silence.
Because on the other side of the Space Screen, Fang Li suddenly fell silent.
Seeing Fang Li immersed in silence, Sylvia started to feel uneasy and hesitated as she asked, “What happened?”
“…Nothing,” Fang Li sighed, smiled faintly, and said, “It’s just that, perhaps my confession was a bit too heavy for you. So, I’m telling myself to rein it in.”
With this statement, Fang Li’s smile on his face appeared somewhat indifferent.
This time, it was Sylvia who fell into silence.
At this moment, the only thought echoing in Sylvia’s heart was: “It seems that this person has an extraordinary story.”
And it was definitely much heavier than Sylvia had imagined.
It was only now that Sylvia realized something.
“I thought I already knew him well enough…”
After all, Sylvia had, to some extent, gathered information about Fang Li.
So, that’s why Sylvia had been so unreserved in contacting Fang Li.
But now, Sylvia realized.
“I don’t know anything about him at all…”
On the contrary, Fang Li knew enough about Sylvia.
Because he even understood the significance of Sylvia being in this Asterisk City.
Not to mention, Fang Li had clues related to this.
As these thoughts flashed through Sylvia’s mind, the topic on the other side of the Space Screen suddenly shifted.
“You contacted me for the sake of your Teacher, right?”
“…Yes,” Sylvia suppressed her thoughts and looked directly at Fang Li, speaking sincerely, “If you have any clues, I hope you can share them with me.”
Sylvia’s words received Fang Li’s response, which was quite expected.
“I do have clues about finding your Teacher.”
“Moreover, I also know why your Teacher suddenly disappeared, leaving you searching for her for so many years.”
Such words made Sylvia’s heart skip a beat.
Sylvia had once mentioned that Ursula was her singing Teacher, her world.
But this Teacher had suddenly disappeared one day.
To find her Teacher, Sylvia had put in so much effort, and it had eventually led her to this Asterisk City. However, in the process, Sylvia had carried a nagging doubt.
That doubt was why Ursula, who had been her Teacher, had disappeared without a trace for so many years. This was highly unusual.
“If your Teacher is safe and sound, she should definitely know about your existence, right?” Fang Li said, “You’re already a world-class Diva, well-known by everyone. If your Teacher is fine, she should be aware of your current situation, but she hasn’t come to find you.”
So, Ursula either had some reason preventing her from contacting Sylvia, or something had happened to her.
Sylvia took a deep breath and asked seriously, “Is it the former or the latter?”
The former meant there was some compelling reason. The latter meant something had happened.
To this, Fang Li replied casually, “The latter.”
Sylvia clenched her fist suddenly.
Shortly afterward, Fang Li said, “But don’t worry, for now, your Teacher won’t have any problems. You can think of it as her being in a deep sleep and hasn’t awakened yet.”
“Deep sleep? Hasn’t awakened yet?” Sylvia was puzzled.
What was going on here?
“I won’t tell you the details for now,” Fang Li glanced at Sylvia, “If you understood, you would probably start wandering around places like the Redevelopment District again, just like before, right?”
The world-class Diva’s disguise in the Redevelopment District wasn’t merely for leisure; it was to search for Ursula.
That’s why Fang Li and Sylvia had crossed paths in the Redevelopment District.
“Anyway, I’ll help you with your Teacher’s matter,” Fang Li said, “Until then, you can focus on being a Diva without any worries.”
Hearing this, Sylvia couldn’t help but speak up.
“Why?” Sylvia sounded puzzled. “Why are you helping me like this?”
Hearing this, Fang Li laughed.
“Because I’ve already received my reward.”
With these words, Fang Li abruptly ended the communication.
Staring at the now-vanished Space Screen, Sylvia stood there in a daze for a while.
It wasn’t until some time had passed that Sylvia smiled.
“He’s truly an interesting person. I’m becoming more curious about him.”

at this point i would be afraid that fang was setting her up from the start. he “coincidentally” meets her, then by the next time they speak he is suddenly the dark horse of the town and also knows everything about all my secrets and also knows where the person i have been searching for all this time is but wont tell me for unknown reasons. this isn’t “mysterious”, this is shady and also creepy.
