Chapter 30: Day 30 of Transmigrating into an Object

She had transmigrated as Shen Wenyi’s Bluetooth earbuds again, not in the charging case, but just casually placed on the table.

She hadn’t felt it before, but now she realized something was off with her vision. She couldn’t quite pinpoint what, but in short… her field of view was extremely strange.

On one hand, she could see Shen Wenyi walking over while drying her hair, and on the other, she could also see the wall behind her?

What was going on? Had she grown an eye on the back of her head?

Just as she was wondering, Shen Wenyi came over and picked her up. Her perspective shifted, and she saw the soft, pale curve of Shen Wenyi’s ear and the smooth skin of her cheek.

She was tucked into Shen Wenyi’s ear, her entire field of vision filled with the side of Shen Wenyi’s face.

But why could she still see the wall near the headboard?

The next second, the wall moved, and she saw the other half of Shen Wenyi’s face.

So that was it!

Bluetooth earbuds came in a pair; she was split in two. No wonder her field of view was so wide.

This feeling was truly novel, her soul simultaneously receiving perspectives that normally couldn’t be seen at once.

Shen Wenyi turned on her phone, and Jiang Shiyang felt a tingling numbness wash over her entire body as an electric current vibrated a coil, producing a sound.

【Bluetooth connected.】

Shen Wenyi tapped on her music, put down her phone, and picked up the hairdryer.

The whirring sound of the hairdryer was masked by the music. Jiang Shiyang felt completely out of sorts. Every note brought a current of different intensity, and every current, in turn, caused the coil to vibrate at different strengths. All these vibrations were transmitted directly into her—fluctuating high and low, fast and slow, a tingling, numbing sensation that was simply… simply indescribable!

Ugh…

She stared at Shen Wenyi’s soft ear and the side of her face, which were so close. She could even glimpse the tip of a high, delicate nose and a corner of lips that were red without any lipstick. She felt increasingly parched.

The numbing sensation from the vibrating coil intensified. The electric currents in the Bluetooth earbuds came wave after wave. The melody of “Drunk Groove” was utterly hypnotic, a tune that was clearly languid, yet every drumbeat felt like it struck directly against her soul.

No, wait, what was up with these lyrics?!

The opening line, “You drive slow,” was fairly normal, but as she listened further… something wasn’t right?

“Just let me f you baby”? What was the meaning of that??????

Listening further, she couldn’t hold it together anymore.

Shen Wenyi actually liked listening to this type of song?

Did she just like the melody, or… Still, these lyrics were way too…

Maybe Shen Wenyi simply hadn’t paid attention to the lyrics at all.

Jiang Shiyang had heard this song before too. She quite liked the melody, actually, and normally she didn’t really focus on the lyrics either.

But that was normally!

Now that she was a Bluetooth earbud, every note, every line of lyrics felt like it was being branded into her soul. She couldn’t ignore it even if she wanted to.

Stop singing, stop singing! I don’t wanna play that game with you!

What kind of lyrics were these? They were going to be the death of her!

After barely surviving the dual torture of electric current and lyrics until the song ended, before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, the next song started.

“Ah~~~ So hot~~~”

Jiang Shiyang: !!!!!!

Who am I? Where am I? Am I hallucinating?!

It had to be a coincidence. She refused to believe that a goddess as aloof and abstinent as Shen Wenyi had a playlist filled with stuff like this!

After an ordeal amidst the “Ah~ So hot~” and the coil’s chaotic vibrations, she finally caught her breath. Her soul wiped a bead of hot sweat from its metaphorical forehead, and then she heard…

【Come on~ Let’s have fun~ We have plenty of time anyway~】

A mouthful of old blood!

The next song.

Majestic and Imposing

And the next.

【Hello baby, want a hug, gather courage, want a hug, so sweet, want a hug, ah~ ah~ ah~】

Jiang Shiyang: …………………………

So this was what they meant by “you can know a person’s face, but not their heart”?

By the time she heard “Sister’s legs aren’t just legs, they’re the spring water of the Seine River~” next, she was steady as an old dog.

Green Seductive Fox

Utterly unmoved.

“Butt wiggling, shaking it, heart going ba-bump~”

Like an old monk in deep meditation.

Heh. Shen Wenyi, ah, Shen Wenyi. So this was the real you beneath that aloof, abstinent goddess exterior.

She finally understood why Shen Wenyi secretly kissed the ring when she was alone. It turned out Shen Wenyi had also grown up, matured, and was just as easily set off as she was!

Tsk tsk.

Suddenly, she felt a sense of psychological balance. Looking back at those ugly-to-the-point-of-questioning-life male leads and eye-searing female leads from the adult films, they didn’t seem quite so unbearable anymore.

Having adapted for so long, the deep, numbing sensation from the electric current driving the coil was also becoming somewhat familiar. She finally relaxed.

This was fine. Just keep listening to music until the battery ran out.

After drying her hair, Shen Wenyi got into bed and picked up her laptop again. It looked like another night of working late.

Her dried hair fell across both sides, blocking Jiang Shiyang’s view. She squinted for ages but couldn’t break through the dense obstacles to see the screen clearly.

Shen Wenyi kept tapping away at the keyboard. Jiang Shiyang let out a long yawn. Listening to the music, she gradually grew drowsy. Being a Bluetooth earbud listening to music felt completely different from wearing a Bluetooth earbud listening to music. One came from deep within the body, piercing the soul, while the other came from the earbuds vibrating the eardrums.

She never imagined she’d actually enjoy a perk of being an object, experiencing truly ethereal music that originated from the soul.

If only the playlist could be changed.

Just as she was thinking that, Shen Wenyi picked up her phone. The soul-stirring music abruptly stopped, and a familiar melody began.

This was…

Catching a Cold in That Corner

This was practically an instrumental piece, with only a female voice going “da lang da lang da” throughout. There were clearly no lyrics, and the music was beautiful, yet it carried an indescribable sadness.

It had been a very, very long time since she had heard this piece. It was quite an old song; she remembered listening to it back in the fifth grade.

Elementary schoolers weren’t worthy of MP3 players back then. Their main channels for listening to music were the loudspeakers from shops lining the streets, or being allowed to play on the computer for a little while during holidays.

She was a tad luckier than those elementary school brats. She had Shen Wenyi.

Back then, she and Shen Wenyi hadn’t yet fallen out.

Shen Wenyi had an MP3 player, and its song list was always updated with the latest hits at irregular intervals. She used to think the MP3 just updated automatically, but later she realized it was Shen Wenyi who downloaded them.

Shen Wenyi’s mom was so nice, buying her an MP3 and even letting her download songs frequently.

Unlike her own mom, who only knew how to wield a feather duster.

Back then, during the long recess, her favorite thing was to scoot next to Shen Wenyi and share one earbud. She cycled Shen Wenyi home from school every day just to listen to music for a while longer.

Thinking back, Shen Wenyi was so good, so soft, so obedient back then. She would never curse anyone out, and every time she saw Jiang Shiyang, her smile was like cotton candy.

Now look at her. Time truly is a butcher’s knife, turning a soft girl into a venomous woman, the kind you can’t tame no matter how much you feed her. One moment she’s treating you to a meal, and the next, she bites so hard you nearly have an epileptic fit.

Catching a Cold in That Corner ended. Pillowed by the light, melodious strains of “Valder Fields,” she slowly sank into slumber.

Now this was a playlist befitting an abstinent Best Actress.

Very good. She was very satisfied.

Hopefully, when she opened her eyes tomorrow, the mission would already be successfully completed.

She didn’t know how late Shen Wenyi stayed up. When she awoke, a numbing, tingling sensation surged through her entire body. A continuous stream of satisfaction emanated from beneath her, and she jolted fully awake. Looking down—the charging case! How was she in the charging case again?!

She quickly checked the mission. No sign of completion.

Shen Wenyi had recharged her before the battery even ran out. How was she supposed to complete the mission like this?!

She had clearly been too optimistic.

The mission seemed simple on the surface, but it was actually much harder than she imagined. Shen Wenyi was so busy with work, how could she have time to wear earbuds constantly?

Normal people put their Bluetooth earbuds back in the charging case after use. Shen Wenyi was no different; she recharged them before the battery ever had a chance to drain completely.

What was she supposed to do?

She couldn’t see a single glimmer of hope for completing the mission.

A sudden feeling of discouragement washed over her. She didn’t even have another Random Item Dice to use.

Wait! She suddenly remembered she still had a Random Gift Pack she hadn’t opened yet. That was the reward from the last Mysterious Task with the Fortune and Longevity Rod. She had to open it now!

She rushed over and tapped open the Random Gift Pack, and out popped… a Random Five Senses Blocking Talisman?

What the heck was a Random Five Senses Blocking Talisman?

【Random Five Senses Blocking Talisman: Randomly blocks one of the five senses for a duration of 24 hours.】

This… seemed pretty useless.

Disappointed, she exited the inventory. Shen Wenyi’s phone alarm went off; it was already seven o’clock. She exchanged points for Human Form Duration and returned to her own body.

For the next few days, she was busy filming during the day and turning into the Bluetooth earbuds at night. Almost every time, she woke up inside the charging case. Shen Wenyi never used her continuously for more than two hours.

What could she do? There were only two days left before the mission deadline.
