Chapter 279

~5 min read 930 words

There are no ifs in this world.

The past holds no room for nostalgia.

What is gone cannot be reclaimed.

Xu Zhao slowly closed his eyes.

He thought of his relatives who had passed away years ago.

The song ended.

Zhao Xinghe was reflected in Ning Chen's eyes.

He lowered his head, his eyelids dropping once more.

The cold wind howled; he did not know what to do next, nor where to go.

Moonlight and starlight.

Scattered across the vast sea.

For a moment.

The entire world fell silent and desolate.

Inside Brother Shiguang's live stream.

It had already exploded into chaos.

【Brothers, what did I just experience?】

【This singing, these lyrics, absolutely obliterate most existing songs!】

【I hereby declare: Brother Shiguang is my god!】

【A cappella! It was a cappella! Brother Shiguang sang without his guitar for the first time!】

【Oh my god, so a cappella can produce songs of this caliber!】

【Nothing else to say, just two words: f***ing good!】

【Came here by reputation, and the streamer truly did not disappoint me!】

【Brother Shiguang has added another new song!】

【Does anyone know what this song is called?】

【Brother Shiguang didn't say?!】

【Judging by the lyrics, it should be called "Regret There Are No Ifs"!】

【Yes! I think that's the title too!】

【Is it really an original? It's too good!】

【Damn, I originally thought of the streamer as a sleep-aid streamer, but this little tune of his woke me up right up; it felt like you were crossing Meng Po's Bridge, and someone used their singing to forcibly drag you back! F***ing good!】

【Did anyone record this? This is Brother Shiguang's first original song sung a cappella!】

【I recorded it! I recorded it!】

【These lyrics are written so well. "Regret There Are No Ifs," indeed. Most of us, after doing something wrong, want to make amends, but some things simply cannot be changed. People remain while circumstances change; flowers in a mirror, the moon on water. If only this, if only that. Regrettably, we have no ifs.】

【Listening to Brother Shiguang's song, I suddenly remembered my own past. That year, I quarreled with my boyfriend. In a fit of rage, I scolded him. He simply couldn't take it anymore and proposed a breakup. I immediately agreed.】

【At the time, I thought he would come find me in a few days to apologize. But in the end, a long time passed and he never came. I discreetly inquired and learned that on the very day of our breakup, he was in a car accident and died.】

【Actually, that day I just wanted him to apologize to me. I never thought we would really break up, nor did I ever think I would never see him again. I didn't even know any news; I didn't even attend his funeral. If, if... Regrettably, there are no ifs.】

Looking at this Miss's story.

Inside the live stream, a chorus of sighs arose.

Everyone began to recall their own ifs.

【If I hadn't wanted ice cream, maybe my father wouldn't have died in a car accident.】

【If my temper had been a little better, we wouldn't have broken up.】

【If I hadn't taken the last of the money to gamble that day, maybe my mother wouldn't have committed suicide.】

【If...】

【If...】

【If...】

Everyone has their own regrets.

But regrettably.

There are no ifs.

The ruts of time continue forward; in this world, nothing seems likely to change because of this.

It is just that, by your side, one person will be missing.

Tianyin Music Company.

A person in charge stood there with his mouth agape.

He took two steps back.

He nearly fell to the ground.

A staff member nearby immediately steadied him.

The person in charge pointed at Brother Shiguang, his speech somewhat stuttering: "He... h-he... how did he just sing it a cappella?"

Someone said, "Perhaps it was the depth of his emotion. He is truly a damn, yet charming, bastard!"

"Wuwuwu, it made me cry!"

"Sorry everyone, I got emotional. I don't want to spend my whole life working, only to look back in old age and say, 'How good it would have been if I had been braver back then.' There are no ifs in this world! I quit! Goodbye!"

The others stared in shock at the fellow who said this.

That guy really did pick up his things and leave...

Everyone's eyes snapped to Hearing Lan Ying, not far away.

Lan Ying was still watching the livestream, her gaze lost in thought.

She wasn't paying the slightest attention to that guy who'd just said he was done.

No one knew what she was thinking at that moment.

192. The One Who Chases Lightning

Ye Zi was intoxicated by it.

Who would have thought—

Brother Shiguang, on this very night,

would sing a song a cappella.

For Ye Zi, this little fan-girl,

it was like a meteor slamming into the Earth.

An utterly violent impact!

Ye Zi instinctively raised a hand to her lips.

She murmured, "This song is really beautifully written."

This night

was destined to be extraordinary.

Plenty of companies were keeping a close eye on Brother Shiguang's livestream room at all times.

All for news like this.

In an instant,

the news that Brother Shiguang had released another new song blew up across every platform.

Someone uploaded a video online.

In less than five minutes,

the view count blew straight past a hundred thousand!

This—

is the traffic that streamer Brother Shiguang brings!

A person so hot

is simply a walking headline.

Whether it's the travel-livestream content.
