I Want to Waste Away Time With You: Chapter 4

The report which was neatly arranged was handed to Lu Wei Xi and Fang Jing to proofread. Lin Yi Xuan, who had heard their conversation from the tip of his ears, couldn’t help but glance at Lu Yu and ask, “Who are you talking about?” 

“Even if I tell you, you won’t know. Hurry up and calculate the data. After we proofread this and write a conclusion, we will be done.” Fang Jing reached out and took the report from him before giving him the cold shoulder. 

Lu Wei Xi smiled and didn’t say anything. She looked down and carefully looked over the data in her hand.

After more than thirty minutes had passed, Lu Wei Xi looked up from the datasheet and saw the man in the corner taking a bite of the cake.

This cold person likes to eat sweets?

The research report is quickly finished with the cooperation of the four people. Everyone began to pack up to leave, except for Lu Wei Xi. She lowered her head and hesitated. She had given them an excuse earlier so that she could stay back. 

After everyone else had left, Lu Wei Xi slowly crept closer to the corner. Worried that she would look obvious, she took out her phone and began to scroll through Weibo.

After looking over today’s popular posts, she moved over to the “special attention” tab.

There is only one person on it, Wonder, who has not posted anything in two years. 

No avatar, no description, no V-shaped logo, not even an original Weibo post. This person, who does not take care of his account, already has fans reaching over 900, 000 followers. On those two forwarded posts are varying types of messages from his fans.

Does he even look at it?

Lu Wei Xi scrolled through the comments. As if infected by the enthusiasm of the fans, she couldn’t help but also leave a message. 

Wonder dada, I don’t know if you will see this message but I really like your voice. Before I heard your voice, I never thought I had a voice fetish. But, even if I do, I am only obsessed with your voice. Maybe liking someone will make you use any means possible to get closer to them. I will work hard, I won’t try to look for you. I just want you to notice me one day.”


That day….will it ever come?

Obviously, they are very close, close enough that when she looks up, she will see him. 

Can see him, but can’t approach him. In a sense, isn’t this the longest distance?

When she finished catching up on Weibo, she took out her earphones nervously opened the Kugou app, and played the ancient-style cover of Wonder's which she downloaded this morning.

This song is called “Yu Gui” and it tells a touching love story during a time of war. 

Honestly speaking, sitting a distance away from the master himself and listening to his cover song….this feeling, is as if she is in a dream. This happiness is incredible. 

When she tapped the play button on the screen and his voice played through the earphones, her heart skipped a beat, because... it was so nice.

“Seeing you stand before the army, 

As if it were a lifetime ago, reunited on the field,

With bloody battles near at hand,

A thousand loving words could not be voiced,

Millions of beacon fire lit up the night, creating a bloody scene,

Which Ming Dynasty sword shall bury you and me…..”


The soprano is clear and resounding, the tone cold and distinct, with a bit of mourning and restraint as well as gentleness. This voice filled with emotions could pierce through anyone’s heart. 

“I wish to share a nuptial wine this month, this night, under the wind and stars, 

Respect this promise, this world, this life with this cup of wine,

The ceremonial music has not ended,

The battle drums have not been exhausted,

You betrayed me, the country, our memories.”


You betrayed me, the country, and our memories….for a moment, it seemed as if she turned back in time, to the endless chaos of the battle drums and the raging fires. The fire beacon in place of the ceremonial red candles, giving one’s life on the battlefield in their wedding robes. His voice was filled with desperation and tenderness. No need to revisit the place, no need to worry. There is only one chance in a lifetime so it is already precious. 

This is the first time Lu Wei Xi heard such a mind-blowing song. The moment he opened his mouth, even the heavens lost color. There is only one voice that enters her ear and her heart. Every word and every sentence created a ripple in her heart, making it hard for her to ignore. 

His usual coldness and deepness could not be heard as he showcased a strong and desperate feeling. Every pause is like a flower blooming and withering with no regrets about his demise. This Wonder, indeed, scared her.

The mysterious Wonder could be regarded as a legend in the online entertainment circle. The person really fits into his name.

When the song ended, Lu Wei Xi took a deep breath and only then did she notice the goosebumps on her body. All she could muster up was this person’s voice….is really scary. 

After listening to it three times, she couldn’t help but post on her Weibo––

“I wish to share a nuptial wine this month, this night, under the wind and stars, respect this promise, this world, this life with this cup of wine. Wonder dada’s voice is so amazing that I don’t know how to describe it….The first time I heard him sing, I was scared off. Isn’t he a CV, why does he sing so well? This is foul QAQ”

She pressed the send button and looked over at the man sitting there quietly. The constant silence and calmness with the lingering coldness make him out of reach.

She looked at Jian Chi and suddenly felt that he was far from her reach.
