Chapter 42

After reading it, I will leave quickly.

The melody is moving.

But what Zhao Mengmeng cares about

is not just this moving melody.

It is the lyrics.

These lyrics...

For a moment,

memories flowed, and Zhao Mengmeng suddenly thought of two years ago.

Her best friend, Si Shiya, had once told her something in private.

That morning.

Si Shiya had come to work pouting with anger.

Zhao Mengmeng asked her what was wrong, if she had quarreled with Ye Chen.

Si Shiya just stayed pouting and silent.

Later, when no one else was around, Si Shiya finally spoke.

Indeed.

She had quarreled with Ye Chen.

The reason for the quarrel was actually very simple.

It was that Ye Chen, during that period, had been fiddling with his guitar and musical instruments; originally, Si Shiya thought it was his hobby and had quite supported him.

But that day, she learned that Ye Chen had actually resigned!

He had quit his job!

Now, Si Shiya was truly anxious.

After all, the two of them were about to get married.

He had quit a perfectly good job, and the key point was that he hadn't even told her beforehand!

Of course, she loved him very much, but since both of them supported their families through their wages, if he quit his job, how would they live after getting married?

So, Si Shiya really got angry.

And Ye Chen remained the same as before in his temper.

Whenever they quarreled, he would not speak.

He would bury his head and do his own things.

It was that detestable man's pride again...

But this time, Si Shiya was truly angry.

The two of them went cold war for one night.

Zhao Mengmeng remembered that at the time, Si Shiya said,

"This time, I will definitely not go find that guy to talk first!"

"Every time we quarrel, it is me who goes to find him and give him a way out! Why should I!"

"This time, I must stick it out with him! If he does not come to apologize to me, I will never forgive him!"

Zhao Mengmeng remembered that at the time, she was comforting her while also teasing:

"Oh, come on. In my opinion, in a few days, you will have to go and ask after him and care for him obediently!"

"By then, since you love him so much, you will definitely forgive him immediately! Haha..."

"Pah! Never! This time I must make him apologize properly! It's too much, he actually quit his job, and we were talking about getting married! Should I support him without a job?! I'm so angry..."

In the memory,

Si Shiya's voice and face seemed like yesterday.

At this moment,

Zhao Mengmeng recalled that incident from back then.

In her ears, there was only the singing of Ye Chen alone in Brother Shiguang's live stream, under the wilderness and dark night.

Laughing that I cannot give promises,

How could it be, how could it be,

That you actually forgave me.

I can only forever read the dialogue,

Reading the harm I gave you.

I cannot forgive myself.

So please just pretend I am no longer here.

In this instant,

Zhao Mengmeng suddenly understood the lyrics of this song.

She understood.

She understood everything!

As if her defenses had broken.

Zhao Mengmeng suddenly raised her hand and covered her mouth.

But her whole body began to tremble violently.

Tears burst through the dam and streamed down her face.

Zhao Mengmeng broke down crying.

Here, in the middle of the night, she sobbed uncontrollably…

That morning, two years ago.

Zhao Mengmeng's best bestie, Si Shiya.

After huffily saying these things to him.

Ning Chen's voluntary apology never came.

Because, right around noon that day.

The bureau received that dispatch mission.

35. This was something that had never happened in the entire national live-streaming industry!

The song ended.

The singing streamer Ye Zi.

Finally stepped out from Ning Chen's rendition of "Stranded."

Beautiful…

Beautiful.

This was the first thing she heard in her own heart after stepping back out.

Truly, very beautiful…

What's the name of this song?

Truly, beautiful.

But…

Why does it have to be so sad…

This streamer called Brother Shiguang.

What on earth has he been through?

Why could he sing such a sorrowful melody?

Why did you have to, all alone.

Come to such a strange place.

And sing a song like this?
