Chapter 155 - 155 You are My One Night Starlight_i
As the words fell, his extraordinarily handsome and distinguished face turned slightly, his gaze falling on the centre of another light source. No one could say if these words were aimed at the restless guests or at Ye Xingguang, poised to leave.
The city’s most beautiful man then withdrew his gaze.
As his fingers danced across the black and white keys of the piano, his deep, peach-blossom eyes slowly closed.
As if he was brewing emotions, countless scenes and memories in his mind rewinded like a film…
Then, everyone heard Ye Junqing’s singing voice.
No one knew that he wasn’t singing a song, but voicing his innermost feelings, a confession he had prepared for a day and a night.
A confession written into the lyrics of the song.
He hoped she would understand.
But he foresaw that she wouldn’t.
Why does it matter…
He wanted to express his sentiment to her in this way, even if she didn’t understand, as long as he alone knew.
“Close your eyes,
I can hear my own heart
Calling out for Ye Xingguang all the time
I thought
A life spent together is the trap of love
Destined to ensnare us in the ocean of happiness
Who would have known the starlight I desired is across the Milky Way
Reminiscence is a bitter song
Never doubted my desire to spend the rest of my life with you,
oh…baby …
Do you know that you are my Ye Xingguang
oh…baby …
Do you know that you are the only one I want
oh…baby …
Do you know that you are the Ye Xingguang I long for”
Ye Xingguang was taken aback. She hadn’t written lyrics to this tune, but these lines were captivating. Who wrote this?
They were truly beautiful, even more moving than the tune itself.
‘You are my Ye Xingguang’, there was even her name in the lyrics. Was it a coincidence or a deliberate act?
Ye Xingguang’s heart couldn’t help but stir as she gazed at the man singing passionately. She never knew his singing could be so enchanting…
Under the spotlight, he sat elegantly and regally at the piano. His performance on the piano was so enchanting that no one could take their eyes off him.
It wasn’t just Ye Xingguang who couldn’t take her eyes off him, there were other women in the room, all moved by the man softly playing the piano and crooning…
Ye Junqing wasn’t looking at anyone. Every movement of his fingertips spoke of his frustration, his defeat in love, his struggle about whether he should keep going.
Yes, he never denied it, in love, he was a failure, a coward who could not have what he wanted, so he had long decided to close his heart and lock up his love.
“Close your eyes,
I see your smile,
Filling up my gray world,
I thought,
Pledging lifelong love is the wind of love,
Destined to carry us to the kingdom of happiness,
Who would have known the starlight that belongs to me is just out of reach,
Reminiscence is a painful song,
Never doubted my desire to walk by your side,
But my longing can’t match the rainlight in your eyes
oh…baby …
Do you know that you are my Ye Xingguang
oh…baby …
Do you know that you are the only one I want
oh…baby …
Do you know that you are the Ye Xingguang I long for”
As he sang up to this point, Ye Junqing’s exceptional eyes suddenly opened. Again turning his head, he let his gaze fall on Ye Xingguang, illuminated by another beam of light. His fingers moved more fiercely on the black and white keys, and his song reached a crescendo, soaring to new heights.
His voice caught ever so slightly, the stunning lyrics, the breathtaking confession, rolled off his tongue once again.
“oh…baby …
You are my Ye Xingguang,
Not my one-night ray of rainlight,
If letting go, is the love that you most want but I don’t want to give,
I am not unwilling to let love go, even if it hurts
If letting go, is the love that you most want but I don’t want to give,
No matter how painful, I will let it go.
Never wanted to be single,
Never wanted no marriage,
I found out,
Destiny is a humorous song,
I want so much to hold your hand, walking along the Milky Way with you.”
