“Oh my, who’s that ‘someone’? Has Boss Yize found his other half? Guys, how exciting!”

Sheng Yize seemed to reply with a chuckle and a very quiet “hm.”

The host was going to press for more gossip when Sheng Yize interrupted him. “Please get me ‘Courage.’”

The prelude then began to play, which surprised the host. “Um, aren’t you going to pick a song from Lord Fengfeng’s album?” Wasn’t that why they were here? To promote the album?

Chi Yuanfeng said noisily, “This will do! My brother can sing anything beautifully!”

Pfft —

An Xiaxia burst into laughter at those words.

She could almost picture the baffled look on the host’s face.

“I’ve finally made up my mind

and I don’t care what others say.

As long as you’re as sure as I am,

I will follow you to the end of the world.

I know it’s been a bumpy road

and I’ve been persuading myself all the time.

What I fear the most is to hear you give up...”

His voice mesmerized An Xiaxia the instant he opened his mouth.

She now believed that Sheng Yize was born to be a singer. His voice was deep and charismatic. When he sang a love song, he could make one think that despite the big world out there, he was singing to them alone.

“If I have accidentally hurt you

with my adamancy and caprice,

can you remind me softly?

I’m always in a rush, but for fear of missing you.

We all need courage in love

to face all the rumors.

Your one affirmative glance

is enough to make my love worthwhile.

We all need some courage

to believe that we’ll be together

...”

His singing was earnest and affectionate and he finished the song with a few beautiful croons.

An Xiaxia couldn’t help but dab at the corners of her eyes afterwards.

That was a little humiliating... The song had brought tears to her eyes...

“An Xiaxia! Have you forgotten about your ruptured eardrum?! Why are you still using that ear?!” An Xiaxia jumped at that irritated bellow. She switched off her phone right away and moaned like a weakling. “Don’t yell at me. My ear hurts when you talk so loud...”

Sheng Yize tensed up immediately and softened his tone. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have yelled at you...”

“Hm~” An Xiaxia closed her eyes. “I’m going to bed now~”

“Good night.”

–

An Xiaxia had a very long dream.

It took her back to seven years ago when there had still been some baby fat on her cheeks. She was clumsy and always a little slow in her reactions.

For some unknown reason, she and Sheng Yize had had a fight and she cried all the way home. When she reached her house and turned around, she saw that he had followed her all the way in silence. His cap was pulled low over his eyes and they looked as deep as pools. He went up to her and said awkwardly, “Please don’t cry.”

The scene then changed and she was in a karaoke house.

She had chosen “Courage” and looked forward to hearing him sing. But he had left.

She was left behind and sat awkwardly on the sofa with no one to understand her.

She cried again, but he didn’t come back this time...

–

Sheng Yize, who was keeping An Xiaxia company by her bed, was woken up by her crying in the middle of the night. He looked up with slightly unkempt hair and patted her hand with his eyes half-closed. “There, there. Don’t cry...”

There were tears at the corners of An Xiaxia’s eyes and she was mumbling something incoherent. It pained him to see her like this.

He moved closer to tuck her in and heard what she was saying.

“Don’t go...”

“I’m not going anywhere.”

“Don’t leave me behind...”

“I won’t.”

“Stay with me, always...”

“Of course.”

One talked in her sleep and the other answered, still wide awake. Strangely, the conversation went on smoothly. In the end, Sheng Yize couldn’t help but laugh.

He then shook An Xiaxia awake. An Xiaxia opened her eyes in confusion, still teary-eyed.

“Had a bad dream?” He gave her an “I knew it” look.

An Xiaxia shook her head. “I didn’t. I was dreaming about my own novel... I was the bottom and I was crying, begging the top not to leave me... and he actually answered!”

“...” The corner of Sheng Yize’s mouth twitched. “What did he say?”
