Chapter 306

And there's more.

The ball lightning just captured,

every single photo on this page.

represents something.

He stared blankly at these few photos.

Completely silent.

Just like that.

After a long while.

Ning Chen faced that booklet.

Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He began to mutter to himself, "Listen," he said.

His gaze remained blank on the booklet.

"Listen," he said, "listen to the sound of that lightning, how beautiful it is."

"How I wish you were my listener."

"How I wish the song I sing could reach you."

"Do you know... how much I wish it." He murmured, his gaze still blank on the booklet.

In the live stream.

The audience all heard the streamer Brother Shiguang's voice.

【Heard it, heard it】

【We are all your listeners~】

【Love you, Brother Shiguang】

【The sound of lightning, however beautiful, is not as good as your song...】

The audience sent these comments as danmu.

Suddenly, without warning.

In the live stream, suddenly, that streamer's singing voice emerged.

He, alone, softly.

As if humming, but truly.

began to sing.

Later, I finally learned how to love.

Pity you had already gone far away, vanished into the crowd.

Later, finally, I understood through tears.

Some people, once missed, are gone forever.

White gardenia petals.

fell upon my blue pleated skirt.

"Love you," you said softly.

I lowered my head and smelled a burst of fragrance.

That eternal night.

The midsummer night of my seventeenth year, the night you kissed me.

Made me, in all the time since, whenever I sigh.

always recall the starlight of that day.

The love of that time.

Why could it be so simple?

And why is it that, when people are young.

they must hurt the ones they love deeply?

In this similar late night.

Are you, too, quietly regretting and feeling sorrow?

If only back then we could have been less stubborn.

We wouldn't be so regretful now.

How do you remember me?

With a smile or in silence?

In all these years, has anyone made you feel less lonely?

Later, I finally learned how to love.

Pity you had already gone far away, vanished into the crowd.

Later, finally, I understood through tears.

Some people, once missed, are gone forever.

The song ended.

The streamer Brother Shiguang in the frame, his gaze, remained blank on that booklet.

The faint smile on his lips remained unremoved.

The audience inside the live stream fell completely silent.

Everyone was straining to listen to that song.

Even if the sky collapsed and the earth cracked.

That sound.

That song.

Would, like flowing water,

Merge into the ears of the audience.

Flow into their hearts.

【Why does he sing such a sorrowful song...】

【It's beautiful, so beautiful!】

【Oh my god, this singing, I'm completely lost in it!】

【Later, yes, later, unfortunately we have no "what if," nor any "later." 】

【This lyric is written so well, "Later, I finally learned how to love," "Pity you had already drifted far, vanished into the crowd." Yes, we both grew after that, but everything has changed while people remain the same. You will never live in my life again...】

【I originally thought she would always dwell in my life, but the result was that I didn't know how to love her, didn't understand how to love her. In the end, we parted in haste, and life simply passed us by.】

【Every choice we make represents a new beginning. Back then, if only I had loved her a little more, if only I hadn't proposed breaking up, would our lives have undergone earth-shattering changes? Would our trajectories have merged into one?】

【This song truly stirred up so many emotions in me. It's such a pity. I have grown so much more than I was back then. Those things that once made me lose my temper now, under the erosion of time, seem unnecessary. But... alas, we have no "but," no "what if," and certainly no "later." 】

【It is truly too beautiful. Although I don't have the experiences of those above me, this song still stirred a resonance within me! Thank you, streamer, for letting me hear such a wonderful song! Thank you!】

【Yes! Yes! I don't have many stories worth sharing either, but the only thing I can say is that the streamer's singing is truly special! Specially beautiful! And it gives me a feeling that makes me want to recall some of the past!】

【Some people have completely vanished from our lives; the only thing we can do, perhaps, is to mourn them...】

【Brother Shiguang, oh Brother Shiguang, what kind of experiences could have led you to write such moving songs? You, you are truly an enigmatic man.】

【Brother Shiguang looks as if he is in great pain.】

【I feel the same. Although his face is expressionless, precisely because of that, it appears all the more desolate!】

After Ning Chen sang one song.

He lowered his head.

His gaze fixed tightly on the pink booklet.

The past, vividly before his eyes.

All from that river named "Time,"

Transformed into a great fish leaping out of the water.

Then heavily layered, falling back into the water.
