Ye Xing returned from the theater to Ye Lan's rest room and began washing up using Ye Lan's toiletries.
Putting other matters aside, filling her stomach was the priority now.
A moment later, Ye Lan returned to the rest room with breakfast for two, sharing the meal with Ye Xing.
This was the third day.
The third day since the Star Eclipse phenomenon appeared.
However, the situation didn't seem urgent at all, appearing as if it could drag on for a long time.
It was unclear how the Night Watchers would handle it.
She only hoped they would put in some effort. The faster the matter was resolved, the sooner she could return home.
As long as the Leader allowed her to return to Yunzhang City, she could go home through the theater door right now, regardless of what might be exposed.
Of course, this was contingent on the Leader's permission.
Now, only she could ignore the dream's rule of forgetting, retaining all memories from the dream.
If she ran away, the Night Watchers might be unable to obtain new information.
Wait, Mo Tu seemed capable too. Should she let Mo Tu take her place?
This way, Ye Lan could leave early.
But Mo Tu probably wouldn't agree. From his introduction of the capital earlier, it was clear he was averse to the capital's situation. He likely wouldn't appear before the Night Watchers.
Moreover, this might expose his relationship with the Rising Sun Troupe.
In the end, she still bore the banner of hope.
Sigh~
At this moment, Ye Lan's phone suddenly rang.
Ye Lan took it out and saw a message from Secretary Ji Yun, saying she would teleport over soon and needed her consent.
Seeing this, Ye Lan was slightly stunned.
"Eh?! Ji Yun is coming?! But Ye Xing is still here!"
The two lolis began to panic.
The theater door opened instantly, and Ye Lan rushed in. Only after half her body had crossed did she realize the mistake.
"Wrong way!"
Ye Lan quickly switched places with Ye Xing.
Ye Xing passed through the theater door back to the theater, while Ye Lan obediently sat down.
After the theater door closed, Ye Lan sent a message agreeing to Ji Yun's arrival.
The next second.
Ji Yun's figure instantly appeared in the rest room, standing not far from Ye Lan.
"Ye Lan, the Leader wishes to see you."
"OK! I'm ready!"
"You look nervous. Do you need time to calm down?"
Ji Yun's observational skills were quite good; she could naturally sense Ye Lan's emotional state.
Ye Lan shook her head.
"No need, I'm very calm!"
As she spoke, Ye Lan's heartbeat quickly stabilized.
As long as Ye Xing's existence wasn't exposed, it was fine.
"Um... what does the Leader want to see me for?" Ye Lan inquired.
Ji Yun shook her head.
"I don't know either. You'll find out when you get there."
"Oh."
Thinking this, Ye Lan stood up.
Ji Yun came to her side, placing her hand on Ye Lan's shoulder.
With a spatial fluctuation, the two figures disappeared.
Meanwhile.
In the theater.
The Makeup Artist had already emerged from the painting.
She now lived like a two-dimensional character.
Ye Xing glanced around briefly.
Kong Yubai, Shu Yao, and Lian Hua were all present, but Mo Tutu's whereabouts were unknown.
That loli appeared and disappeared unpredictably, possibly observing secretly from some corner of the theater, or not in the theater at all.
Who knew where she was.
Ye Xing shook her head, deciding not to think about that loli anymore.
She would become feminine sooner or later anyway.
Just as Ye Xing was about to walk over to chat with Lian Hua and the others, a figure emerged from a nearby shadow.
Ye Xing turned her gaze towards it, stopping in her tracks.
"Troupe Leader?" Ye Xing tilted her head, seemingly puzzled by the Troupe Leader's appearance.
At this moment, the Troupe Leader calmly said, "In a few days, it will be time for the performance. We should practice for it."
"Oh, that's right."
Reminded by the Troupe Leader, Ye Xing suddenly realized it was almost the weekend.
Usually at this time, all troupe members should be preparing for the outdoor performance, especially for new plays.
Playwright Shu Yao had already prepared several scripts; they just needed to select from them.
The performers only needed to familiarize themselves with the script's story within a day, complete the script's interpretation, and turn it into a perfect stage play. It was that simple.
The Troupe Leader and others were excellent performers, with no novice behaviors. Immersing themselves in the play was simply effortless for them.
In this situation, there was no need to worry about time constraints.
Ye Xing rubbed her head, her expression slightly embarrassed.
"Um... As the troupe's Spectator, I almost forgot about the performance time. I'm sorry, Troupe Leader."
"It's nothing. This isn't a big deal, and you, Spectator, don't need to do anything. Just come to watch our performance on time," the Troupe Leader said in a gentle tone.
Ye Xing shook her head.
"Although you all are very accommodating towards me, I'm also a member of the troupe. I should remember important activities. So forgetting the rehearsal time is my fault. I can't make excuses."
"Ah, I'm happy that you feel this way. As expected of the Spectator."
"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm~"
Ye Xing nodded, then lowered her head and muttered.
"It's all because of this inexplicable Star Eclipse incident. I was suddenly drawn into it, forced to divert my attention, causing me to somewhat forget about the troupe's activities."
The Troupe Leader slightly narrowed his eyes.
"Spectator, what are you saying? Is there anything I can help with?"
"Ah... You probably can't help with this matter, Troupe Leader. Mainly because this incident is too complex. Only humans can handle it. That person might only appear in dreams. It's truly headache-inducing."
Ye Xing covered her head, already feeling a headache for the Night Watchers.
At this point, she suddenly thought of something and asked the Troupe Leader, "Hey, Troupe Leader, do you know a fellow kind called the Dream Narrator?"
"Dream Narrator? I have a vague impression."
"Oh, you don't know... Wait, you know?!"
Ye Xing finally reacted, staring at the Troupe Leader with wide eyes full of shock.
The Troupe Leader calmly nodded.
"I once embarked on a solo performance journey. A fellow kind who called himself the Dream Narrator proactively sought me out. He said he wanted to observe my truth. During that time, he constantly watched my performances. After a while, he left. I didn't talk much with him, only knowing he was extraordinary."
Ye Xing covered her little mouth with both hands, not yet recovered from the shock.
"My goodness... Has the Troupe Leader actually met the Dream Narrator?"
Ye Xing gradually came to her senses and immediately asked the Troupe Leader further questions.
"Um... Did the Dream Narrator find you in reality?"
"Yes."
The Troupe Leader nodded affirmatively.
Ye Xing then realized that the Dream Narrator didn't only exist in the ethereal dream realm.
Perhaps he was hiding in some corner right now.
The Night Watchers didn't need to enter his home turf.
They just needed to find the Dream Narrator hiding in reality to easily solve the problem!
It should be like this!
