“Thank you.” Facing this man who had saved her, she seemed only to feel grateful.
He walked over to the television set aside, turned it on. “Why don’t you relax a bit? Is there any interesting news today?”
It was the noon news special segment on TV. “The concert by Fengshen at the Martial Arts Hall was originally scheduled for tonight, but it was suddenly changed a week ago for reasons unknown. Now, let’s take a look at the live report from our on-site correspondent.”
Feng Hua’s face changed, her foundation failing to cover the paleness. The screen displayed Feng Jian Ya. His wild long hair was still the same, and his eyes still held that indifferent, cold gaze towards the world. He stood in the center of the stage, hands in his pockets.
The music started, and the background noise grew louder. Fans who knew every album, every song of Fengshen, had never heard this prelude before, a melancholic and gentle melody, like whispering sweet nothings to a lover on a rainy night after losing love.
“I made a wish to the stars, promising to bring you happiness. My vows are like light and shadows in the sky, dancing emptily, always filling your eyes with tears and sorrow. I blame myself for my inability, for not keeping the promises I made. I don’t want you to leave, but fate keeps playing its cruel game. When you left, you told me you loved me, your tender smile like a sharp blade cutting through my soul. I’ve been waiting for your redemption, distant angel, how can you bear to leave me alone in the rain, letting it soak my heart?”
Feng Jian Ya’s mournful, tragic voice echoed through the room. Scenes floated before Feng Hua’s eyes: promises under the stars, sweet moments together, the heartbreak of departure… it all hurt so much!
“At this moment, in this world, the only woman I love,” Ya spoke into the microphone, a sad smile hovering at the corners of his lips, his usually distant eyes now showing human emotion, accompanied by the music. “She’s going to marry someone else. I can’t bring myself to wish her well. Two people who truly love each other were torn apart by fate twenty-one years ago, and I can’t laugh and wish you happiness.”
