Not far away, the violinist had left the stage.
In the dining room, besides Gu Qingcheng, there was another noble-looking man.
A pair of slender fingers gently stroked the keys of the piano, producing a series of sharp and ear-piercing sounds.
The next moment, this pair of beautiful hands placed themselves on the black and white keys. They gently raised their fingertips and lowered them, and began to play.
If it was said that the previous zither sounded messy, the current zither was clear and gentle. The notes flowed gently like a clear spring, extremely pleasant to the ears.
Gu Qingcheng looked at the tall, elegant man sitting in front of the piano.
Her heart thumped in her chest.
Intense emotions crashed over her, making her gasp with every shocking wave.
She could not control her emotions and could only look at him.
Under the orange light, his resolute side profile looked deep and gentle. He had a high nose bridge, a perfectly angled chin, and a slightly prominent Adam’s apple. His straight back exuded his cold and abstinence.
His gaze wasn’t focused on the keys, as if he was already very confident about the song.
His long and narrow slender eyes narrowed slightly. From her angle, Gu Qingcheng could clearly see the faint shadow of his long eyelashes under his
eyes.
Noble.
Elegant.
His every move exuded the innate nobility of a king.
She was mesmerized by him.
The song was very pleasant and familiar to her.
She was so familiar with this song that her fingers on the table seemed to be on the keys as well. She could not help but press the keys with his slender fingers and play the song with him.
Each of these melodious notes was like a hug. Being held in his arms filled her heart with a warm sense of happiness.
Her heart was beating wildly. She did not even know if it was because of this song or because of this man who was playing the piano.
She was immersed in listening, feeling the stability and tenderness in her heart. Unknowingly, her nose turned sour, and her eyes turned hot.
His hand rose and fell, and the last note quickly arrived, signifying the ending of the song. Huo Sicheng, who was sitting in front of the piano, looked up at Gu Qingcheng.
Their eyes met. He could clearly see the surprise, joy, and complexity in her eyes. In the end, it was as gentle as water. Even more so were his eyes.
He walked up to her.
Up close, Gu Qingcheng could see her own face in Huo Sicheng’s dark, bright eyes. It was as if all they could see was her.
“Where did you learn how to play this song?” she asked in a low and hoarse voice, then said to him with extreme certainty, “You shouldn’t have known.
Because no one in this world should know how to play this song except me.”
Huo Sicheng opened his thin lips and said softly, “I Miss You.”
Gu Qingcheng’s pupils shrank as she stared at Huo Sicheng in shock.
Not only did he know how to play it, he even knew the name of the song.
Yes, it was that song, indeed.
This song had indeed been written by her, and she had only played it once.
It was the anniversary of her mother’s death. It was raining heavily, so she played this song in the school music room.
She called it I Miss You.
She missed her mother so much that it drove her crazy.
This was the origin of this song, and it was a song that she had only sung once.
But when he said, ‘I Miss You,’ she was a little confused.
Did he miss her, or did he just tell her the name of the song?
“I Miss You.” Her voice trembled as she stared into Huo Sicheng’s attractive eyes. “This song is called I Miss You. No one knows the meaning of this song better than me. Tell me, why would you?”
No.
She was asking the wrong question.
She wanted to ask Huo Sicheng if he missed her or if he wanted to talk about the song, but she said the wrong thing.
She felt like her brain was no longer hers the moment Huo Sicheng appeared.
Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng with a gentle gaze.
His voice was gentle. “Because I was there that night.”
He had always been by Gu Qingcheng’s side.
Not just that night in the music room.
Those countless nights.
Every year when she went to Mt. Dragon Cemetery to pay her respects, he was always by her side.
However, she had never known of his existence and had never once looked at him.
Gu Qingcheng’s heart was trembling, and her hands on the table couldn’t stop trembling.
He was there?
Was Huo Sicheng in the music room that night?
“You were in the music room too…” Her teeth chattered as she said, “I…” I didn’t see you…”
Now that she thought about it, she did not look around to see if there was anyone when she entered the music room that night.
She didn’t watch it because no one would be in the music room at night.
It was Friday night. Those who should go home went home, and those who should go out to play went out to play.
Unexpectedly, Huo Sicheng was in the music room.
She thought that he should be on the second floor.
After all, the piano was on the first floor, and the view was wide. She would definitely be able to see him at a glance.
Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng, who was holding back her emotions, and said in a low voice, “If you saw me, you wouldn’t have written this song.”
Gu Qingcheng was taken aback.
That’s right.
She used to hate him so much that she would never step foot in the place where he was.
That night, she was in pain. She would never let anyone see her painful side.
She had suffered so many injuries and grievances outside. In the end, she could only lick the wounds in her body and mind alone in the dead of night.
“Without you in my life, everything else has become nothingness. “Huo
Sicheng’s eyes were bright, and his voice was gentle.” I miss you. I want to be with you all day. I miss you; I’ve been waiting for you, waiting for you to return to my side; all I’ve been thinking about is you.” Gu Qingcheng stared at Huo Sicheng blankly.
She was tempted.
Damn it, she was moved by Huo Sicheng. She even wanted to kiss him when he looked so seductive.
She suppressed the intense passion in her heart and finally asked the question she wanted to know. “Are you reciting my song, or are you just thinking of
“Both.” Huo Sicheng replied softly, “But I miss you more. I miss you purely.”
Gu Qingcheng felt her cheeks burn, and her heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her chest.
He was too alluring.
She blushed in excitement when she heard his affirmative answer.
He missed her. He simply wanted her.
Only God knew that he was flirting with her so much that she couldn’t control herself.
“You…” She bit her lower lip and wanted to say something, but she didn’t know what to say.
Huo Sicheng reached out to hold Gu Qingcheng’s slender hand and said seriously, “Qingcheng, come back to my side.”
Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng in disbelief.
“No matter what happened in the past.” Huo Sicheng’s eyes were like stars, and his voice was soft and loving. “Tonight is over.”
Gu Qingcheng’s head was buzzing.
Huo Sicheng’s gentle expression was in front of her eyes, and his promise to her was in her ears.
Was everything that happened in the past all over tonight?
Was he really willing to let bygones be bygones and never hurt her or lie to her again?
“Qingcheng, let’s start from the beginning..” Huo Sicheng asked Gu Qingcheng gently, “Okay?”
