Ye Xingguang pursed her lips, wanting to say how charming the lyrics sounded with this melody, a radical departure from the original essence of the song, giving it a unique appeal.
She wanted to ask who wrote the lyrics, but someone had already rolled over a huge cake. Ye Xingguang suppressed her curiosity, nodding her head, “Alright, since it’s your birthday today, I’ll join you in cutting the cake.”
Now, the bodyguards were no longer stopping the playful girls, and many of them ran onto the mirrored carpet to play.
Under everyone’s movement, starlights flickered all over the floor.
Spectacular…
In this spectacular world, Ye Xingguang held the knife with Ye Junqing, cutting the first symbolic slice of the cake.
“Junqing, what was the name of the song you were singing just now? It was great! I’ve never heard it before. I want to search for the original singer,” a guest asked.
Ye Junqing had been waiting for this question. He suppressed his discomfort and turned up the corners of his mouth into a smile, “Don’t you all want to know who the girl at my side is? Recently, a song became popular online. I just wrote lyrics for it based on her name. The song is called ‘You’re My One-night Starlight’.”
After saying this, he reached out to pull Ye Xingguang, who was distributing the cake to the guests, into his embrace.
He then said, “The last three words of the song’s title are her name—my assigned partner, Ye Xingguang.”
“What? This brilliant dancer, is the person assigned to you by the government, the Carp Girl?”
“Ye Xingguang? What a beautiful name. The Carp Girl shares the same surname with you, ‘Ye’. That’s quite a coincidence. You guys aren’t from the same clan within three generations, are you?”
Ye Junqing just smiled and remained silent. Of course, his wife would share his surname!
Ye Xingguang also found her own name beautiful. It was the young man who saved her who gave her this name.
She still remembered the young man asking her, what’s your name.
She had said, “My name is Xia Qiongqiong.”
He said, “Qiongqiong, alone and helpless, your name sounds unfortunate. How about I give you a new one?”
At that time, they were both floating on the sea surface. He looked up at the star-filled sky and said, “How about ‘Ye Xingguang’? From now on, you will be the most beautiful one-night starlight amongst the stars and the sea.”
However, she never expected that the surname the young man casually gave her happened to be the same as Ye Junqing’s. Ye Xingguang pouted her lips.
One of the girls who paid close attention to online trends exclaimed excitedly: “The most popular song online recently? No wonder it sounded familiar. I’ve got it, wasn’t it the one heavily criticized by the Xia fans and praised by Old Mr. Gu? I thought it sounded familiar. The online reviews said that this song was subpar and couldn’t compare with Xia Yanyan’s new single. But to me, it was deeply moving and really nice to hear! Can I post this song on Weibo? I just recorded a video.”
Ye Xingguang paced a particularly enticing piece of cake in front of the girl, giving thumbs up: “That’s the one. The songwriter is my friend Xia Qiongqiong, and the lyricist…is Ye Junqing. Please feel free to post it if you like it, and thank you for helping my friend gain more publicity.” noveldrama
Ha, those Xia fans claimed this song was unbearably awful, right? Ye sang it himself. She would like to see, once the video was posted, whether the netizens would share the same sentiment with the Xia fans and find it horribly unpleasant!
