Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he walked onto the stage gracefully with a faint smile on his face. The shirt he wore made her feel as if he was Xu Yulu from a few years ago. He looked like a silly university student.
The yellowed wooden guitar on the stage looked like it was from time to time. He picked it up slowly, walked to the stool and sat down. Reaching out with his retractable microphone to the right height, his fingers were long and white as he lightly strummed the first string on the guitar.
At this time, the surroundings were completely silent. Not a single sound could be heard.
Sun Jie also sat quietly. She used her peripheral vision to look at the women sitting beside her. On their delicate faces, she found the word "intoxicated".
It seemed like she had made a mistake. How could those Sun family's female comrades spend their time and effort on work in the future?
In such a quiet atmosphere, Sun could hear the clear male voice on the stage, "This is the final melody of the classic Korean TV series Love also Needs Fate."
At this point, Sun Jie froze in place. She had heard this song before, it was a single piece that continued to circulate on a night when she could not sleep, there were too many beautiful feelings and secrets in it.
— It's Between Us.
Yu Qihang once said, "If someone is infatuated with this song, then that person must be an infatuated seed. Perhaps in his heart lives someone whom he will never forget, leaving behind a painful scar."
She loved the song.
He actually liked to listen to it too.
"The time between us was young and naive. It was beautiful in the spring, flourishing in the summer, and the autumn and winter made us warmer. We didn't have any regrets in those days …"
Such a clear male voice broke into his eardrums, and his voice was not as cold as it usually was when he spoke. Such a voice must have been filled with deep emotions.
At this time, Sun Jie had completely forgotten her original intention of letting him sing. She couldn't help but indulge in the singing and recall her youth.
She recalled how she used to be young, and remembered how she had humbled herself to Mu Hanyu. At that time, it was as if Mu Hanyu had smiled at her, and she would be happy for a long time. She would even smile as she tossed and turned in her bed, unable to sleep.
"Between us, it is the young and inexperienced time that is interlaced with ignorant emotions. It is bright and beautiful in the spring …"
Sun Jie's mood fluctuated. The fluctuation of these emotions made her feel very uncomfortable. She even felt depressed in her heart. It was a good song, and his voice was full of emotion, somehow more touching than the original singer's, but Sun Jie couldn't stand it.
She stood up and walked out of the party alone.
"..."
Compared to the noise inside, it was very quiet outside. The big moon at the entrance of the bowl shone with a silver-gray light.
Sun Jie stood outside and suddenly didn't know where she wanted to go or what she wanted to do. She just stood there quietly in a daze.
She deliberately found a place where the light was not too strong, so that no one would be watching. She just stood there quietly, the cold winter breeze blowing mercilessly across her face, and she felt that her mind was being affected by the cold more and more.
She had forgotten how long she had been there, and she felt it was time to go back.
Suddenly, a coat draped over her shoulders, accompanied by the fragrance of lavender. She knew who it was, and also felt that he was standing by her side. She tilted her gaze and smiled, "Secretary Xu, have you given us all your birthday presents?"
Xu Yiru looked at the blushing girl and changed the topic. "Why did you come here? Is it my voice that makes you so picky that your eardrums can't stand it?"
Sun Jie took a deep breath, and pretended that she really didn't like it, "Hmm, it sounds really bad, I don't think my ears are particularly sharp. If I knew you were at this level, I wouldn't have let you gift me this birthday present."
Xu Yiru said shamelessly, "I think it was because my singing was so nice that you came here."
Could this person be more narcissistic? "Do you dare to be more shameless? I said, you don't know about your five notes, you can even improve a lot if you practice more. That's enough, go back quickly and don't do anything else.
After Sun Jie said that, she started to leave, but she didn't expect that her wrist would be held by a pair of warm hands, so she stopped, "Everyone has left, the scene has already ended. Are you going to go in alone to sing another performance?"
What? Sun Jie was stunned, just how long has she been here for? "Everyone went back so quickly, how long have I been out for?"
Xu Yiju ignored her complaint, took her wrist in his hand and said carelessly, "Let's go home."
Sun Jie didn't understand what he meant, but after hearing that, she felt her whole body freeze.
He said, "Go home?" Home?
"..."
Along the way, Sun Jie always had Xu Yiru's coat on her shoulders. She felt very warm, but her stomach was really hungry. Perhaps because she didn't eat anything, she immediately checked the cabinet, knowing that there were a lot of snacks inside.
Just as she was feeling conflicted, a man's voice came from the driver's seat. "What are you eating? Take it yourself …"
Hearing him speak, Sun Jie was overjoyed and immediately pounced on him like a hungry wolf. Sure enough, it was just like the last time she came, there were so many snacks. Sun Jie casually brought out some potato chips and a bottle of milk.
As she was eating, she suddenly remembered something. "Do you think you're really fit to be a secretary? This is serious. "
She felt that it was necessary to explain this matter clearly. To be honest, she felt that this matter was too outrageous.
"That's right!" Then he said, "Do you think I'm not fit for this position?"
Sun Jie quickly said, "Definitely not, I just feel that you're too wronged to be my secretary. If they knew you were Xu Yiru, they would have fainted from fear a long time ago."
"Isn't it normal for me to be my wife's secretary?"
Sun Jie was speechless.
"Young Master Xu, don't make fun of me. We're just one piece of paper, you know that."
"Yeah, we already have a marriage certificate. Isn't that just a piece of paper?"
Sun Jie was speechless again.
"That's only because Grandmother likes me, and …"
"And what?"
Sun Jie was worried. She put the potato chips into her mouth, chewed, and stammered, "And... "Our contract lasted three years, and it only lasted for a blink of an eye. Time passed by very quickly. If I were to go out to study, then it would be faster …"
That was just something she said casually, but Xu Yiru's grey eyes sunk.
But he didn't say anything, just quietly drove his car, unconsciously speeding it up.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the car became very quiet, Sun Jie felt uneasy as she looked over at the man. He looked very serious, without the slightest hint of a joke, but of course, he was also very cold, "Young Master Xu's throat is indeed very pleasant, even the original singing can't compare to you. If you didn't have an unforgettable experience in love, you definitely wouldn't be able to sing this feeling … Young Master Xu … Have you ever had a woman you loved deeply? "
Sun recalled a report she had read about the formation of homosexuality, which was first because it had been born naturally, and second because it had been emotionally damaged, either in disappointment with the opposite sex or in despair with love, which had led to the formation of a "true love of the same sex."
Perhaps Xu Yiju had also experienced something like this before.
That... He must have loved, and that woman had betrayed his love.
"Sun Jie!" There was something wrong with this voice. Not only did it lose its initial friendliness, but he could also hear the slight anger within it.
At that moment, the car suddenly headed for the sidewalk and stopped.
Sun Jie's heart tightened. The man had no emotion on his face. He turned off the lights, turned off the engine, and unbuckled his seat belt. She didn't understand what he was trying to do, but the woman's sixth sense told her that it wasn't going to be a good thing.
At this thought, all the nerves in her body tensed. She watched this man's every move as if she wanted to see through him.
He looked back at her, and his cold gray eyes, which had suddenly lost their gentleness, turned into a serious, unhappy face. "You've figured out your feelings? If not, then shut up. "
