You hidden in my heart - Chapter 27.2

Chapter 27.2

Under the dim lights, Lu Yuling stared at Li Xining with twinkling eyes, and after a few seconds, his gentle and smiling voice came through the microphone, filling the entire bar. “Today a girl turns eighteen; let’s sing this song to that girl.”

 The atmosphere in the bar instantly became lively, with some cheering, applauding, and booing.

 Li Xining’s cheeks instantly turned red, and her heartbeat quickened. It seemed like a fire was going through her body. Boiling.

 Her face also became hot, and it was so hot that she couldn’t breathe smoothly. Fortunately, her hands were cold, so she immediately put her hands on her face, trying to cool herself down.

 But her eyes were fixed on Lu Yuling.

 This bar was big, and there were lots of people sitting under the stage. However, compared to the huge stage, this scene was just a small part. However, at this moment, in Li Xining’s eyes, Lu Yuling was like a scornful person: the King of all living beings. And she only had him in her eyes. Apart from him, everything was dim.

 Lu Yuling was also looking at her. Even though the room was dark, he could still see her red cheeks.

 He wrote a song for her, but it wasn’t the right time to give it to her. So, he chose a different song today that was very important to him.

 He had been listening to this song since he was a little kid, and he learned how to play it on the guitar. It was the first song he played on the guitar, and it was also the first song he learned on the piano.

 His mom used to sing this song a lot before she died. But when he was young, he didn’t get it because he didn’t know Cantonese and didn’t understand the words.

 [Tl: Cantonese is a language that belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language family and is spoken in the Pearl River Delta and the city of Guangzhou in China.]

Until he met Li Xining.

 That snowy day, that stairwell, and that candy. Even if thousands of stars in the future were brighter than the moon that night, the beautiful scenery couldn’t be compared, and it would never make him appreciate it more.

 It was his beam of light.

 Lu Yuling took a big breath and said the name of the song, “At Night,” into the microphone in a quiet voice.

 Then everyone in the bar cheered, but Li Xining ignored it and only noticed Lu Yuling with the guitar.

 The lights on the stage got dim.

 The bar got quiet, and the band started playing a gentle, soothing tune. The atmosphere in the bar instantly became calm.

 With Lu Yuling’s low-mellow and magnetic voice, time seemed to return to an unforgettable place.

 Looking back slowly, the nights that once belonged to each other.

 Honghong is still you, giving me the bright sun in my heart.

 Like silly tears, I hope you can be considerate and forgiven.

 I will leave you tomorrow morning. The road may be lonely and long, and there are too many things to do in one moment.

 It’s a pity that we are about to be on both sides, so I have to gaze deeply at this moment.

 Even if thousands of songs are floating on my road in the distance in the future,

 Even if thousands of evening stars are brighter than the moon tonight,

 They can’t compare to the beauty of this night.

 And they will never make me more beautiful. I appreciate

 Oh, even more, because you and I sing.

 Oh, tonight…

 This song has a touch of sadness in both the melody and the lyrics, but it made people forget to leave, just like taking a sip of old wine—not strong, but the aftertaste was endless—and it made people intoxicated unconsciously.

 Li Xining didn’t understand much Cantonese, but she had been listening carefully and hard to every word he sang. She heard “Thousands of Evening Stars,” “Tonight’s Moon,” and “Sing with me tonight.”

 She was concentrating, but her understanding was intermittent, but she was still moved by the song. Like a pebble thrown into a calm pond, ripples appeared in her heart, and her heart began to sway uncontrollably.

 The feeling of heat passed; her cheeks were no longer hot, and she kept staring at him, seeing the twinkling stars in his eyes and witnessing the shining stars on his body.

 When the song ended, Li Xining’s eye circles were still a little red, as if she were drunk, her cheeks were slightly tipsy, and her heart was racing. This was the best birthday gift she had ever received, and she would probably never forget it in her life.

 There was a wave of warm applause in the bar again. After hearing the applause of others, Li Xining came back to her senses and immediately joined the crowd of cheers.

 Lu Yuling stood still on the stage. After the applause died down, he looked at Li Xining with curved eyes, smiled, and softly opened his lips. “Happy birthday.”

 Li Xining froze and felt dizzy as if she had fallen into a gentle land.

 She was really drunk but sober.

 Happy birthday—just two words, but like two drumsticks, he hit her heart hard, knocking her heart open directly, and he walked in.

 The love mixed with gratitude became a thing of the past in an instant. On the day she turned eighteen, she had the most unforgettable birthday, listened to a beautiful song, and completely fell in love with someone.

 From now on, he will be the eternal king in her heart and the only and most beautiful lover.
