Chapter 338: Chapter 338: Rational or Irrational

While everyone was marveling at Jiang Qin’s music, some haters who couldn’t stand her also appeared.

The number of nitpickers always increased when it came to war.

When the reporter fixed the camera on Jiang Qin, many malicious comments flooded the livestream chat.

[??? What the hell? All the other females are wearing Combat Suits, so why is she still in a dress?]

[I get that it’s in a female’s nature to want to look beautiful, but is that really necessary on a battlefield? A dress would be a huge hindrance if she had to run for her life.]

[I’m a soothing master too, and I think it would be really hard to work alongside this Miss Jiang Qin. Her music is so disruptive to one’s thoughts.]

[Oh? But I’m seeing that with her music, the females’ Spiritual Bodies are coming out to work without any deep soothing at all? And from what I know, soothing performed directly by a Spiritual Body is supposed to be much stronger than soothing with just Calming Power, isn’t it?]

Whether that person left the livestream or just realized they had no ground to stand on, they never replied.

But someone else pressed the issue:

[Hey? Where’d that soothing master from before go? Why so quiet all of a sudden?

Feeling ashamed?

Isn’t the real reason you couldn’t work with Jiang Qin because you lacked the Courage to go support the front lines?

Whatever her faults, at least she rushed to the battlefield for the greater good instead of hiding on the Star Network talking trash about people.]

[And as for those of you attacking her for wearing a dress, of course a bunch of infertile males like you wouldn’t get it.

A tight-fitting Combat Suit is uncomfortable for a pregnant female. Don’t you know that?]

[Of course they don’t. You can tell they’re the kind of slackers who failed every basic life skills class.]

…

It was only then that everyone realized Jiang Qin had gone to the battlefield while pregnant.

Those who had been acting salty were instantly left speechless.

Meanwhile, on the front lines, a large number of male and female reinforcements arrived at the camp.

The moment Wen Xueli and her two partners arrived at the camp, she wanted to head to the front lines.

Her Calming Power was also extremely potent under the influence of Jiang Qin’s music!

She couldn’t wait to go help the warriors, but her partner stopped her.

“Lili, don’t be in such a rush. The soothing masters’ position at the front is already surrounded by Alien Beasts. Even if we went now, we wouldn’t be able to link up with them. Why don’t we settle in, recover our strength, and get ready to relieve them in shifts? When they get tired and pull back, you can go in with the other new soothing masters.”

Wen Xueli knew her partner had a point, but she was still a little disappointed. “Ah, but does this mean I won’t get to see Qin Bao?”

“Miss Jiang is here to support the front lines. Our goal should be the same as hers. If she found out everyone was just here for her, she’d probably be very disappointed.”

More than disappointed, she would be furious!

Jiang Qin had snuck onto the battlefield without telling a soul. She even specifically asked her fan site masters not to reveal her location or take pictures. And for what reason?

It was precisely because she was afraid they would get swept up in their fandom craze and recklessly follow her to the battlefield.

Most of her fans were adults, and minors weren’t allowed on the battlefield anyway.

But even adults have their irrational moments.

And as it turned out, there were. Quite a few, in fact.

Returning to the camp, Jiang Qin felt her vision go dark.

Yet the fans, completely oblivious to having done anything wrong, all stared at her with star-struck eyes.

“Qin Bao! Qin Bao! You looked so cool playing your instrument!”

“Qin Bao, I’ve been a fan for so long! I never had a chance to see you before, but now I finally get to meet you in person!”

“Qin Bao, can I get a picture with you?”

“Miss Jiang Qing, I’m not just a devoted fan of your music, I’m also a secret admirer. Could you give me a chance to pursue you?”

Hearing this, both Yun Xie and Lan Yuyan looked over.

One’s gaze was lazy, yet it held a distinct coldness.

The other’s gaze was gentle, but his smile didn’t reach his eyes.

At that moment, they were both thinking the same thing: ’Who is this male? What gives him the right to try and be our rival?’

But when they looked, they saw a male with a face so youthful he might as well have been a minor, and they both let their guard down.

Yun Xie: ’Tch, just a kid.’

Lan Yuyan: ’Oh, just a child~’

Surrounded by the crowd, Jiang Qin reluctantly posed for photos and signed autographs before trying to reason with them.

“The battlefield is dangerous. You shouldn’t have come here so rashly. Even for a celebrity, you should put your own lives first. There is no one you should love more than you love yourselves.”

“No, no, no, Qin Bao, I love you more than I love myself!”

“Miss Jiang, I love you too! To face life and death with you would be the most romantic thing in the world!”

“Don’t worry, Qin Bao, we thought this through carefully before coming.”

“Miss Jiang Qing, I… I’m willing to face the danger with you, too! I want to protect you!”

Yun Xie and Lan Yuyan: ’What is wrong with these people? Have all the males gone insane today???’

Jiang Qin: ’…Words fail me.’

’She was telling them to cherish their own lives, right? How did this turn into a mass love confession?’

The war correspondent diligently broadcast this scene to the livestream as well; after all, it had been a long time since he had seen a female so deeply adored.

However, Jiang Qin frantically shouted, “Lan Yuyan, stop that reporter!”

If more of her fans saw this, it was highly likely that even more irrational people would rush to the battlefield just to chase after their idol.

It wasn’t that she thought it was a bad thing for people to come to the battlefield, nor did she wish for everyone to simply hide away in safety and comfort.

What she disliked was their reason for being here: it was all for her!

It was utterly irrational behavior.

It also placed immense pressure on her. The feeling that people were willing to throw away their lives for her sake was a heavy psychological burden to bear.

So, Jiang Qin continued to reason with them.

After the third attempt, she gave up on those who still insisted on staying.

She wasn’t a god, after all; she couldn’t force them to do what she said.

She had warned them of the pros and cons three times, analyzed the situation for them three times, and pleaded with them three times. That was more than enough to fulfill her obligation.

Before they left, the bright and beautiful young women said cheerfully, “Qin Bao, you all go get some rest. We’re heading to the front.”

“That’s right. Starting today, we can soothe in shifts, so you won’t be under as much pressure.”

“We might die, but Qin Bao, being able to do something meaningful alongside you… it makes me truly happy!”

Then there were the young males, each one standing tall and proud.

“Miss Jiang Qing, you may not understand how much those late-night songs meant to me.

Without them, I might have taken my own life during one of those long, lonely, painful nights.

It was your singing that gave me a reason to stay in this world!”

“Me too. One night, I had a knife to my wrist, but I accidentally brushed against my Light Computer.

I heard Miss Jiang singing ’Chapter,’ and I just… stopped. I wanted to hear the rest of the song…”

“Don’t worry, Qin Bao. We may be young, but we’re not crazy. We just want to do what we feel is right!”
