ICTEUWMN Chapter 111.2

They wished they could immediately see Bei Xing find Yishui and finally get a clear look at the solar term spirit who had already amazed everyone with just a single side-profile shot in the opening song.

“I don’t want to sleep, Mom. I want to watch the next episode.”

“Me too! And how is it already eight-thirty? Is the clock broken?”

“There will be a second episode tomorrow. Go to bed now, and I’ll call you to watch it tomorrow, alright?”

Faced with the twins’ protests, Mrs. Camberley, who had also watched the entire episode, comforted them while her own perception of the show underwent a significant change.

She had always thought that Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ writing was highly engaging, with fantasy and imaginative elements that made it hard for readers to stop.

But she hadn’t expected that when these fantastical and brilliant words were paired with Lightyear’s top-tier animation technology, the result would be such a perfect fusion.

A seemingly ordinary girl accidentally rescuing a magical star beast, forming a contract, and gaining mysterious powers to save the world, these bizarre and incredible plotlines were brought to life through the boundless possibilities of animation, making it impossible to look away.

It took Mrs. Camberley a long time to coax the little ones to bed. Even then, on their way to wash up, they couldn’t help but discuss the story enthusiastically.

From the glowing stone necklace to Li Chun’s dress, they even fantasized about flying to school at night.

Being an ordinary elementary school student by day and a magical girl saving the world by night!

Just imagining it was enough to make their hearts race with excitement, wishing they could find a Domi of their own on the way home from school tomorrow, just like Bei Xing.

And it wasn’t just the Camberley twins, Lightyear’s “Bei Xing’s Necklace” became an overnight sensation in countless households with children the moment it aired tonight.

The next day at school, anyone who hadn’t watched “Bei Xing’s Necklace” the night before couldn’t even join in on the heated discussions.

“It was just so amazing! And Bei Xing’s dress was beautiful. If I could wear one like that on my birthday, I’d feel just like a princess!”

“Li Chun’s long braid was magical too! There were flowers woven into it. I want to grow my hair out so I can braid it like hers.”

Because the animated characters were so beautifully designed, many of their details and outfits left a deep impression on young viewers.

For instance, Li Chun’s long black hair, adorned with flowers, sparked a new fashion trend. Similar hair accessories flew off the shelves that very day.

Many children arriving at school with their parents had braids styled just like Li Chun’s.

What was fascinating was that “Bei Xing’s Necklace” wasn’t just loved by girls, many boys were just as obsessed. Every night, they made sure to be in front of the light screen on time.

“Why do you like watching this so much? You’re a boy.”

Yu Mian looked curiously at Huo Yan, a little surprised by how he never missed an episode of “Bei Xing’s Necklace” these past few days.

“Why can’t boys watch it? I want to save the world too! Besides, a lot of boys in class watch it!”

Huo Yan felt embarrassed and tried to defend himself, but his eyes never once left the screen, afraid of missing even a single scene.

Ever since the first episode, where Bei Xing flew through the moonlit sky and encountered Yishui, then explored the campus at night only to miss him, Bei Xing had begun living a fascinating double life.

By day, she was an ordinary student. In reality, she was a girl with magical powers destined to save the world.

After gaining her abilities, Bei Xing even used them to help those around her. She revived a classmate’s beloved withered potted plant and subtly grew a blade of grass to nudge aside a stone when a teacher nearly tripped.

These heartwarming, magical moments made the show even more delightful. It sparked countless daydreams about how one could use magic in everyday life.

“If I knew Lichun, I’d ask her to help me with my Chinese homework.”

Huo Yan sighed wistfully, only to meet Qiao Ni’s stern gaze. He immediately shut his mouth, afraid she would tell his parents.

Yu Mian chuckled. That was such a classic childhood wish.

And as the show’s popularity skyrocketed, by the end of the first three episodes, the young but resolute and kind-hearted Bei Xing had finally earned Yishui’s trust and friendship.

[When Yishui agreed not to disrupt the rainfall around the school and returned to the necklace, the previously single green gemstone on the necklace was finally joined by a second blue one.]

The necklace shimmered brightly in Bei Xing’s palm. Domi was overjoyed and told Bei Xing that this was the first step to success.

However, the calm and composed Yishui within the necklace warned Bei Xing that the third gemstone, Jingzhe, had a completely different temperament from himself. If they encountered Jingzhe and made him feel uneasy, it could easily lead to harm.

This was because Jingzhe controlled the power of thunder and lightning!

It was a pale golden gemstone.

“Power over thunder and lightning? That’s so cool! I can’t wait to meet Jingzhe and bring him back to the necklace. What does he look like?”

During this time, Huo Yan had even started taking notes while watching the show, scribbling furiously in a small notebook. His dedication was so intense that even Qiao Ni found it unbelievable at times.

With more and more Solar Term Guardians being introduced in “Bei Xing’s Necklace”, and since the opening song did not specify which gemstones each character corresponded to, guessing their identities and relationships had become a trending topic.

Moreover, the spells and dialogue in the show were often poetic prayers. Many girls with neat handwriting would even copy the characters’ lines into small notebooks, creating their own script collections.

Those with artistic skills would draw simple sketches of the characters alongside the text and decorate the pages with pretty stickers, making them exceptionally exquisite.

After these were shared online, they caused a wave of amazement. In real life, if a student had such a notebook, they would undoubtedly become the center of admiration.

To Yu Mian, though, this was just a childhood scrapbook.

Who hadn’t kept a secret notebook as a child, carefully recording their favorite stars or anime characters, listing their abilities and information in neat handwriting? It was simply adorable.

“But your handwriting needs some work.”

Yu Mian commented after glancing at Huo Yan’s notebook, causing him to blush and snap it shut immediately.

“But I’m very serious about this!”

Huo Yan’s solemn expression made Yu Mian chuckle.

“Alright then. But does this mean your favorite author has changed? You haven’t been reading old books like”King of Tianshan” lately, and you don’t seem to log into “Taoyuan Restaurant” as often anymore.”

Yu Mian glanced at the large scriptwriter’s name on the cover of the notebook and couldn’t resist teasing Huo Yan.

The news that this script was written by him has been known to no one so far except Camberley and the production team who handled it.

“Ah… ah… well, you can’t compare to them! Can’t I like both?”

Huo Yan had indeed become obsessed with “Bei Xing’s Necklace” lately and had been pouring all his energy into it. He even had to beg Qiao Ni to log into “Taoyuan Restaurant” for him while he was at school, just to grab some ingredients.

But just as he was feeling flustered and guilty, he noticed Yu Mian’s silent smile and heard his cousin Huo Ting let out a quiet chuckle in the distance. At that moment, something clicked in his mind.

“This ‘Mian’… It’s Brother Yu Mian, right?! Ahh! Why was I the only one kept in the dark? Give me a spoiler!”

Clutching his notebook, Huo Yan suddenly realized the truth and wanted to throw himself at Yu Mian and kneel down to beg for answers.

Wasn’t this completely missing the obvious? The correct answer had been right next to him the whole time!

“Spoilers aren’t allowed. Isn’t it more fun to figure it out yourself?”

Yu Mian responded without any guilt.

Within just a week of its release, “Bei Xing’s Necklace” had skyrocketed in popularity. Although it was primarily targeted at a young audience, it also sparked heated discussions across the star network.

Even adults who had been struggling to find a good show or book recently found various excuses to log into different platforms, squeezing in among the young viewers to keep up with the episodes.

Though the plot might seem a little innocent and naive to adults, its enchanting transformations, breathtaking visuals, and exquisitely designed characters made it the perfect show for relaxation.

[Honestly, the more I watch, the more I think children’s animation is actually super fun. I really want to find a Domi and become a magical boy. Lately, I’ve been checking every alley corner while out on my evening walks! ovo]

[It’s so funny, I’ve noticed that so many guys are watching this too. Is this some kind of secret soft side awakening?]

[No, no, no. This is exactly the kind of animation every real man should watch. I watch it with my little sister every night. It’s very wholesome! I even help her memorize the lines and analyze the plot.]

What surprised Director Lin Ke and the production team the most was that “Bei Xing’s Necklace” did not have a drastically skewed gender ratio in its audience.

Not only did girls love it, but many boys were equally captivated by this story of a magical girl saving the world.

[It’s been so long since I felt this kind of excitement, counting down to an episode’s release while waiting in front of the screen. The last time was probably when I was reading a novel!]

[Yes,yes! I wanted to say this too! This feeling is so precious. Some people were saying the scriptwriter is just some newcomer with connections, but honestly, the writing is amazing! TwT]

[To be honest, I don’t believe this is really a newcomer. I really want to check out their previous works, this isn’t enough!]

As “Bei Xing’s Necklace” continued to dominate discussions, more and more fans became intrigued by the identity of its mysterious scriptwriter.
