Chapter 379
Ye Junqing hadn’t reached the best viewing point when the heavenly voice pierced his ears. The lyrics brought back vivid memories of his shared life and trials with Little Mermaid.
“Fate decreed you would be my insurmountable ordeal. Protecting me is a sickness, and you’re already seriously ill.”
Ye Junqing laughed. Little Mermaid, did you actually dare to write these lyrics?
Are you so sure I wouldn’t be able to overcome this ordeal?
Yet his heart was delighted by these lyrics.
He walked to the entrance of the passageway leading from the backstage to the stage. His tall figure stood there, quietly watching the girl on the stage singing for him.
Today she wore a white strapless dress adorned with tiny, glittering diamonds. They sparkled under the stage lights, drawing all eyes. Like the brightest heart in the night, her appearance stirred his heart, making it hard to look away.
“I can’t forget your kindness, but I wish we’d never met, even though you were my first sunshine…”
Ye Xingguang didn’t want to sing that song, but her sister-in-law said the public would anticipate it. Every time she sang it, her emotions got out of control and her heart ached. Each high-pitched note was a howl from her heart, echoing its agony.
Sharing the most painful part of her heart with the audience through her singing was not a pleasant experience.
Thinking of the young boy who died for her, tears threatened to spill from her eyes.
Ye Junqing frowned slightly. He had never understood one line in her song – “I wish we’d never met.” What did it mean?
She clearly said he was her first sunshine, so why did she wish they had never met?
Ye Xingguang held the microphone. As her emotions broke down, her voice soared and shattered the audience’s expectations. Even those who had seen videos of her performance online were not prepared for the force of her live performance. It was truly breathtaking.
As the song came to an end, the audience erupted into thunderous applause.
Ye Xingguang held the microphone, rallying votes: “I hope that everyone can cast their valuable vote for Ye Shiting tomorrow. I want to tell everyone that if you vote for him, you will never be disappointed. He is the best and most promising choice! Plus, you will have good fortune—trust me, I’m not wrong.”
After she cheekily winked at the audience, another wave of cheers swept through the crowd.
Then she bowed deeply to the audience and gracefully exited the stage.
The moment she reached the entrance to the backstage passageway, a man had been waiting, quickly engulfed her in his arms.
Her tears were yet to dry, Ye Junqing leaned forward, kissing her forehead. His voice was full of tenderness, “Why is it that though you can’t forget his kindness, you’d rather have never met?”
He felt the lyrics needed to be revised: while it made him ecstatic to be her first sunshine, he was unhappy that she wished to have never known him.
Ye Xingguang blanked for a moment, her emotions dipping low as she shook her head: “It’s nothing, just song lyrics.”noveldrama
“Only song lyrics?”
Ye Junqing believed it was not that simple. He led her to a quiet place backstage, pinning her between the wall and his chest as he wiped away her tears. His voice was soft and irresistibly persuasive: “Tell me, darling…”
Ye Xingguang covered her face with her hands, unable to control her emotions. She choked out: “Because meeting me was the greatest misfortune of his life because meeting me, death claimed him. It would’ve been so much better if he had never met me; then he wouldn’t have died.”
