Kiss of Venus: Chapter 17

  [Previous][Table of Content][Next] 


Yu Wan’s heart started beating rapidly. Does Hu Jiao want to switch to a stronger account? The other players are also speculating which account Hu Jiao will switch into.

After Hu Jiao logged on, everyone was dumbfounded.

She changed to a nurse of the Peach Blossom Sect.

The onlookers were in an uproar. A level 90 Nurse against a level 80 Nurse. Are the two prepared to fight for a year? The player who bet on each game directly changed the topic of the bet. “Can this match end in two hours?”

Yu Wan, “....”

“I challenged you. Accept it.” Hu Jiao challenged “Fisherman's Song at Eventide” with a new login. After clicking accept, they were transmitted to the middle of the battlefield.

Hu Jiao first threw a general attack on Yu Wan. Yu Wan felt that although she was also a nurse, Hu Jiao’s attack is much higher than hers. After suffering an injury, her bracelet automatically added blood slowly back to her. Yu Wan hid away from Hu Jiao and put a healing skill on herself.

Because of the equipment, Yu Wan’s blood tank was immediately full at once. The players at the side changed the bet from two hours to two months.

Yu Wan, “.....”
Hu Jiao began to attack her again. Yu Wan turned around and desperately ran away. Her fighting skills were not good but at least she is pretty good at running away.

Hu Jiao who was sitting opposite her spoke, “Why are you running away. Do you really plan on fighting me for two hours?”

“.....” Miss Hu not only hit people but doesn’t even allow the other person to run. No matter, she is a customer so Yu Wan can only yield. She moved her avatar to face Hu Jiao and dealt many attacks on her. Hu Jiao can also automatically restore blood for herself after suffering from attacks. So, after Yu Wan hit her, her blood recovered by half.

The onlookers are heckling but nobody left because everyone knows that they aren’t really playing for two hours. According to the rules of the battlefield, if the match takes up more than 10 minutes, the damage on both sides will double and their healing skills will half. After 15 minutes, it will double and half again.

After fifteen minutes, Yu Wan’s blood supply completely bottomed out. However, out of all the planners, she survived the longest.

When “Fisherman's Song at Eventide” fell in the middle of the battlefield, Yu Wan was rather relieved. This competition is finally over.

After the battle, Hu Jiao and Yu Wan logged off. The three planners quietly stood to the side and waited for Hu Jiao to speak first.

Hu Jiao was a little tired from playing three games in a row. She massaged her wrist and glanced in their direction, “I didn’t expect the three of you to be pretty good.”

……

The room was hushed, and the three planners smiled quietly. After a while, it was the male planner who spoke first, “Miss Hu, the three of us are done battling you. Whose plan are you going to look at first?”

Hu Jiao took a sip of her coffee and said, “Yu Wan.”

Yu Wan froze and felt a wave of ecstasy wash over her. She held back her excitement and walked up to Hu Jiao with a professional air, “Thank you, Miss Hu, for the opportunity. I brought the plan with me. When will be a convenient time for you to discuss it?”

Hu Jiao hasn’t spoken yet when the male planner spoke up with doubts in his voice, “Miss Hu, since we all lost can you tell me on what basis you made your choices on?”

Hu Jiao glanced at him and slightly raised her chin, “Do I need a reason to choose whoever I want?”

“.....” Even though Yu Wan was selected, she couldn’t help but sigh. Miss Hu does have a personality.

The male planner’s face changed. Hu Jiao stood up and said, “First, she is the one who persisted the longest on the battlefield, and second, this is the most important reason, out of the three of you, her account is married.”

After hearing Hu Jiao’s remark, the three were silent. Because Hu Jiao’s first requirement was to beat her, every one devoted themselves to PvP. If it wasn’t for Li Shen’s reminder, Yu Wan would’ve forgotten about the marriage system.

When Hu Jiao saw that they weren’t talking anymore, she said to Yu Wan, “Follow me to the study.”

“Okay.” Yu Wan picked up her bag and followed Hu Jiao to the study. Hu Jiao’s study is almost the same size as Yu Wan’s entire house. She stood opposite Hu Jiao and took out her laptop and placed it on the desk.

Hu Jiao tilt her head and watched her turn it on. She suddenly asked, “What’s your relationship with Li Shen?”

The words Yu Wan said were caught in her throat by Hu Jiao’s question. She lifted her head from the computer and stared at Hu Jiao with bright eyes.

Hu Jiao chuckled and looked up at her. This is the first time she studied Yu Wan so seriously. The light shined on her light brown hair. Her hair was pushed behind her right ear revealed a silver flower stud on her earlobe.

She has a slender figure and today she a cropped leather coat and a pair of joggers. The white shirt is simple and retro. The overall impression she gives is capable, neat, and beautiful.

Hu Jiao moved her gaze away from her and said, “I saw Fisherman's Song at Eventide and Little Prince’s wedding reception two days ago. Little Prince is Li Shen’s account.”

Yu Wan’s eyes moved and she calmly said, “Fisherman's Song at Eventide is Li Shen’s alternate account.”

Hu Jiao, “....”

This is ambiguous.

“So you’re telling me you have nothing to do with Li Shen?” Hu Jiao looked at Yu Wan with a bit of interest in her eyes, “You don’t have to be nervous. I’m not the paparazzi nor am I some crazy fan. I won’t hinder him or cause any trouble. I’m just curious.”

It’s been more than half a year since Li Shen came out of the singing competition. In such a short time, he was able to gain popularity and with the meticulous management of Xingyao he strength is undeniable. This made Hu Jiao a little interested in him but when she saw him at Xingyao events, he seemed very cold.

Hu Jiao finds it very unexpected that such an indifferent person would marry in-game.

So, seeing the bride in front of her, she couldn’t help but ask.

Yu Wan thought for a while and said, “We were friends in college.”

“Oh.” Hu Jiao replied lightly, don’t know whether she believed it or not but she didn’t ask any other questions, “Show me your plan.”

“Okay.” Yu Wan took the printed version of the plan and handed it to Hu Jiao. She sat in front of the laptop and said to Hu Jiao, “This is my initial idea for the wedding. I want to hear Miss Hu’s thoughts and adjust it accordingly.”

“En.” Hu Jiao opened the file she handed over.

“I wanted to know what Miss Hu’s budget for the wedding?”

Hu Jiao said, “My and Shimin’s love has no budget.”

Yu Wan, “.....”

:)

“Just do what you think is right. Don’t worry about the money.”

“Okay.” Yu Wan answered and asked, “Apart from the game theme, do you have any other requirements?”

“Yes,” Hu Jiao looked at her, “You got married in the game so you must know how the Matchmaking Temple looks like right? I hope the wedding can replicate that scene as much as possible. The acacia tree and lake must be present.”

Yu Wan frowned. The acacia tree she saw was very large, it will be hard to find one like that. Even if they did, it didn’t mean they can use it as a wedding venue.

“What, is it difficult?”

Yu Wan smiled, “Rest assure Miss Hu. I will find a suitable venue.”

“En, that’s good.” Hu Jiao thought for a moment and said, “Oh yes. For the host of the wedding, I want to look for someone who looks like the matchmaker in the game.”

Yu Wan, “.....”

Is there an adult who would look like the Lolita matchmaker in the game?!

“Is there a problem with this?” Hu Jiao’s tone was a little dissatisfied. Yu Wan raised her head and smiled, “No, I will look for it.”

Hu Jiao was satisfied, “When you married Li Shen, you also released 999 sky lanterns right? At my wedding, you also need to release sky lanterns. You don’t need to release so many but it needs to look spectacular.”

“.....” Sure enough, anyone who is anyone will be there. Her premonition was right. She typed every one of Hu Jiao’s request onto the laptop. Yu Wan’s fingers froze and felt something was wrong, “Um, Miss Hu, I didn’t marry Li Shen.”

“As long as you understand what I want it doesn't matter.” Hu Jiao looked at her curiously, “Is your English name Lily? To be honest I am a little annoyed with Li Shen’s fans. A lot of Lilys has come into the game recently hence a Lily Guild was formed.”

“.....” Yu Wan turned the laptop around for Hu Jiao to see and stood up. “Miss Hu, let me tell you my plan. Because it is a game theme, I used a lot of acrylic glass in the design. Because of acrylic’s transparent properties, we can make effects similar to the game interface. You see, here are a few renderings I made.”

Hu Jiao’s attention was placed on the rendered map Yu Wan made. The transparent acrylic glass is inlaid with pictures and texts. With some special design and arrangement, it really does look like the game interface.

Hu Jiao raised her eyebrow and said, “I like this idea.”

Yu Wan smiled and continued, “I plan to apply this as the front desk, photo wall, and showing guests to their seats. Look at this seating chart, isn’t it similar to the master list in the game?”

Hu Jiao’s lips slightly lifted as she looked at Yu Wan, “Chief Wei said you are the best planner in the company. It looks like it is true."

Yu Wan modestly replied back, “As long as Miss Hu likes it.”

She and Hu Jiao talked for roughly an hour. When they came downstairs, the other two panners were gone. Hu Jiao sent the driver to take Yu Wan back. As soon as she got into the car, Wei Shao called her.

“I heard you made progress with Hu Jiao over there?”

Yu Wan sighed, “Wow, boos you receive news fast. I just finished talking to Miss Hu.”

Wei Shao laughed and asked, “I also heard that you got married in the game and beat the other two planners.”

“Haha. That was unexpected. We are wedding planners so we should be focusing on the wedding part.”

“That’s logical. How was your talk with Hu Jiao.”

“She was basically satisfied with the plan but had some difficult requirements. I will try to solve them.”

“Okay, I will wait for you at the company tomorrow treat you to a meal.”

“Thank you, boss!”

After hanging up her call with Wei Shao, Yu Wan thought about Li Shen again. Thanks to Li Shen’s help, she was able to progress so smoothly. She needs to thank him.

She found Li She on WeChat and opened the chatbox, thinking about what to say to him.

“I just finished the match with Miss Hu just now. Although I lost in the end, she still chose to look at my plan. Thanks for helping me, if you have time...”

If you have time, I want to treat you to a meal.

The sentence was supposed to end like this but Yu Wan didn’t send it.

Does she want to treat Li Shen out for a meal? Theoretically, in this situation, it is right to treat the other party to a meal but because she has a delicate relationship with Li Shen and he is a public figure, it may not be convenient to eat with her.

Yu Wan was still hesitant when the car came to a sudden brake. Yu Wan was pushed forward.

“Miss Yu, are you okay? A cat suddenly ran out on the road just now.” The driver’s voice came from the front. Yu Wan saw back on her seat and hook her hair behind her ear.

“I’m fine.” She smiled at the driver to show that she was fine. The driver apologized again and started on the way again.

After adjusting her seat belt, Yu Wan to check on her phone. After she saw the content on the screen, she was left dumbfounded. Because of the sudden rush, she accidentally sent the text.

……

Although WeChat allows you to delete a message that is already sent, the traces can still be seen. If Li Shen sees it, would he ask her, “What message did you send that you had to delete?”

…...Forget it, it’s more important to delete it. Yu Wan saw the message disappear on the screen and was relieved.

Li Shen: Why did you delete it? Did you suddenly change your mind about inviting me to a meal?”

Yu Wan, “.....”

What’s more embarrassing than deleting a message? It’s the current situation now. :)

Yu Wan: As a celebrity, how can you reply so fast?

Li Shen’s lips quirked up and replied, “Coincidentally on my phone.”

Yu Wan: I have no other meaning. It’s just I’m afraid it is not appropriate for you to eat suddenly.

Yu Wan: I want to thank you for this thing with Miss HU.

Li Shen: I didn’t do anything. Hu Jiao likes your plan because of your own merit.

Yu Wan pursed her lips. Does this mean she doesn't have to treat him to a meal? It’s okay, at least she conveyed her thoughts.

Li Shen: As for the meal, I will note that down.

Yu Wan saw the text and her eyes changed, “Ok.”

The screen slowly dimmed. Looking out at the changing scenery outside the window, Yu Wan realized that she has been back at A City for a while now and has not taken a stroll around the city.

The streets she once walked with Li Shen has changed slightly. The people who lived in the buildings may have changed from one batch to another. What about Li Shen’s taste? Is it the same as before?

She remembers that he used to drink white peach oolong milk tea and he likes to eat barbeque. His favorite restaurant is Lily’s Barbeque at Starlight Department store and he likes the durian crepe at the dessert shop. Yu Wan can’t stand the taste but Li Shen likes it.

She remembered the first time she ate with Li Shen. She was constantly moving her food around the plate.

At that time, she and Li Shen had just gotten together. To thank Li Shen for helping her run around wedding companies with her for a month, she specially invited him out for a meal.

Yu Wan didn’t have much money on her. She originally wanted to treat him to a big meal in two months but after she secretly kissed him that day at Lize Park…..she felt some responsibility for him.

She thickened her skin and asked Zhou Xiaoning to borrow some money for the meal. Even though she’s got the money, trouble arose on what to eat. Yu Wan likes to eat bullfrog but there are a lot of bones so it would be indecent. Yu Wan crossed out bullfrog from the list.

Hotpot and skewers work but if they do eat it, she won’t be able to stop. Since it is their first time eating together, it wouldn’t be good to eat too much right? For the sake of her own image, Yu Wan crossed them out.

Seafood? You have to feel the shell. It’s not very ladylike.

….She suddenly had a deep appreciation and liking for Zhou Xiaoning. When they go out to eat, she didn’t have to worry about her image.

While Yu Wan was still debating on where to go, Li Shen asked her first, “Let’s go for a barbeque. There is a discount this Saturday at Lily’s Barbeque.”

The word discount attracted Yu Wan’s attention and she immediately agreed, “Okay, then I’ll see you at Lily’s Barbeque.”

“En, I will wait for you at the entrance around 11:30.” Li Shen smiled.

Zhu Gan and the others who are by his side started to jeer. When Yu Wan heard the others’ voices, she was a little shy, “I will hang up first.”

“Okay.” Li Shen coldly stare at Zhu Gan who is next to him/

On Saturday, Yu Wan went to Starlight Department Store early in the morning. She was worried they won’t be able to grab a seat because a lot of people will be there for the discount. Unexpectedly, Li Shen arrived earlier than her. The two met at the entrance of Lily’s Barbeque and were stunned to see each other.

“Didn’t we say to meet at 11:30? Why are you here so early?” Li Shen asked.

“I was afraid there is going to be a lot of people today so I came a little earlier.” Yu Wan snuck a glance at Li Shen, “Why are you also so early?”

“I was worried we won’t be able to get a seat.” Li Shen smiled. He took out the number ticket the waiter gave him and handed it to Yu Wan, “I got the ticket. We can come back at 11:30.”

“Oh, okay.” When Yu Wan looked up, she met Li Shen’s eyes. The kiss on the bench in Lize Park came to mind again. Yu Wan’s face got redder.

Li Shen seemed to be thinking about the same thing as his ears turned red as well. That day, although it was Yu Wan who kissed him, he was the one who continued and intensified it. He never thought he would be greedy for the lips of a woman.

His eyes staggered around Yu Wan and coughed, “Let’s walk around the mall. Time will pass by soon.”

“Okay.” Yu Wan walked around the mall by his side. Li Shen suddenly reached out and held Yu Wan’s hand.

Yu Wan’s heart jumped. She could feel the warmth on the palm of her hand flow down her limbs. She looked at the glass window of the store and secretly looked at Li Shen’s reflection.

Li Shen held her hand and didn’t dare to look at her. He deliberately tilted his head and looked at the store next to him.

The pink on the tip of his ear hasn’t faded yet. The sight fell on Yu Wan’s eyes.

Yu Wan’s heart skipped a beat. How can there be such a cute and handsome man in the world?

She, this old aunt, is truly lucky.

The two walked around Starlight Department Store. They didn’t buy anything but they felt they had gained a lot. They passed by a cart selling ice cream cones and Yu Wan looked on longingly. She pulled Li Shen over, “This ice cream cone looks delicious!”

Li Shen remembered what she said before, “Even if it looks delicious you still can’t eat. Didn’t you say before you can’t eat cold stuff?”

Yu Wan didn’t expect Li Shen to still remember and is acting like her mother, restricting what she eats, “It’s fine once in a while.”

Li Shen still rejected her, “Still no.”

Yu Wan pouted and acted spoiled, “I’ll only have a taste. You buy one and I’ll one have a taste!”

“Hm….” Li Shen thought for a moment and gave her a pampering look, “Okay. Then I’ll buy one but you can only have one taste!”

“Okay, just a taste!”

Li Shen walked to the cart and bought a matcha flavored ice cream from the worker. He remembered Yu Wan ordered matcha milk tea before so she should like this flavor.

Yu Wan giddily clapped as he walked back with the ice cream cone, “I’ll have a taste first then you can have the rest.”

“En, but you can’t have a big mouthful.”

“I know.” Yu Wan opened her mouth and took a bite. The moment the ice cream touched her teeth, she shivered unconsciously, “So cold but it is delicious and sweet!”

Li Shen really did take the cone away after she took a bite. When he saw the teeth mark on the ice cream, Li Shen smiled, “Is it really sweet? I will try it too.”

He took a bite at the same spot Yu Wan did and said, “En, really sweet!”

Ice cream worker, “.....”

Can you two go farther to eat? :)

Seeing that it is almost 11:30, Li Shen took Yu Wan to the restaurant upstairs.

There is already a lot of people waiting at the entrance of Lily’s Barbeque. Yu Wan and Li Shen didn’t wait too long before the waiter called their number.

The two seats that were vacated are in the private room. When Yu Wan and Li Shen sat down, the waiter brought the menu over for them to order. Li Shen gave the menu to Yu Wan who started the elimination process for the dishes again.

Pork belly wrapped in lettuce must be eaten with mouth wide open. Too ugly, no. Ribs require spitting out the bones. How can she perform such actions in front of Li Shen! No. Beef tenderloin, the waiter will cut it into small pieces. She can eat it decently but it costs more than a hundred….

After weighing the options, Yu Wan ordered the more expensive but decent beef tenderloin, “I want an order of this beef tenderloin and chicken.

“Okay, anything else?”

Yu Wan looked over at Li Shen, “Do you want anything?”

Li Shen said, “An order of pork belly and ribs.”

Yu Wan, “......”

The dishes were delivered shortly after they ordered. Li Shen’s pork belly came first. A basket of lettuce leaves was placed on the table along with green pepper. Garlic and dipping sauce.

When the aroma of grilled meat wafted in the air, Yu Wan tried to suppress the saliva secreting from her mouth. After Li Shen finished grilling it, he cut two pieces into her bowl. Seeing the perfectly grilled meat in her bowl, Yu Wan wants to ask why he is testing her…..

“Why aren’t you eating? You don’t like pork belly?” Li Shen saw that Yu Wan hasn’t moved her chopsticks and asked. It was personally grilled by Li Shen so Yu Wan can’t eat it. She gave Li Shen a smile and dipped the meat into the sauce before putting it directly in her mouth.

She’s so smart, she doesn’t have to wrap it in lettuce!

Li Shen asked, “You don’t want lettuce? Wrap it in lettuce and put some green pepper and garlic. It is absolutely delicious!”

Yu Wan shook her head, “I’m good. You grilled it so well it is delicious as is.”

“Really?” Li Shen chuckled, “Then I will grill some more for you.”

Yu Wan was infected by his laugh and smiled.

Li Shen has taken the role of the barbeque griller this time. He even cut the beef tenderloin himself. Every time he finished grilling, he would give it to Yu Wan first and then started to grill something else.

Yu Wan saw that he didn’t eat much and clipped some of the contents in her bowl into his.

The discount was completely random. The customers will spin a wheel and pick the type of discount they will get. The worst is 10% off and the best is 50% off.

Yu Wan didn’t believe her luck so Li Shen went up to spin. Li Shen is indeed very lucky. He got the 50% off discount in one try.

He even had a look of wanting praise.

Yu Wan stood on her tiptoes and stretched an arm out to rub the top of his head. She then happily ran to the checkout.

Coming out of Lily’s Barbeque, Yu Wan was thinking about going to the movies with Li Shen/ She looked up at Li Shen who was walking beside her, “Do you have any plans later on?”

Li Shen shook his head, “No, where do you want to go? I’ll accompany you.”

He said it so naturally like doing anything with her is a matter of course. Yu Wan was a little bashful and thought Li Shen might be some playboy.

She calmly asked, “Do you want to watch a movie?”

“Okay, watch it in the department store?”

“En.”

The movie theater and Lily’s Barbeque are on the same floor so they walked over the side by side. There are many movie posters lined up on the walls in the waiting room. Yu Wan checked the showings on her phone and found that there are no seats available for the next screening. Even if there are seats available, she doesn’t want to watch the movie.

Li Shen saw her frowning at her phone and proposed, “Let’s go back to school.”

Yu Wan looked up at him, “Go to school?”

“En.” Li Shen bent down and moved closer to her. He stared intently with his pair of beautiful eyes, “I actually really want to try going on a date on campus.”

The university campus is definitely a sacred place for student couples. When Yu Wan was in university, she never dated and she didn’t expect that after graduating, she would have the opportunity to be a college couple.

Li Shen got a bike from who knows where that can carry Yu Wan in the back seat. Then he took her to A City’s Conservatory.

The wind blew past her shoulders gently lifting her hair. She held onto Li Shen’s waist with one hand and use the other to tame her hair that was disturbed by the wind.

“Ten things a college couple must do. Cycling, check!”

Li Shen’s voice entered her ears. Yu Wan laughed. Afraid that he can’t hear her voice from the wind, she spoke louder, “What’s number one on the list?”

Li Shen looked back and gave her a smile, “Of course it is going to the hillside of the school and doing this and that!”

Yu Wan’s face burned.

After this bike ride, all the girls in the conservatory who has a crush on Li Shen knows one thing–––Li Shen has a girlfriend.

After that, Yu Wan would come to school every day to see Li Shen. The two would appear in the dining halls, piano room, quad, library, etc. They did not leave any single dog alive.

The female students who are nursing the wounds of their broken hearts wanted to kill them after eating these dog food. :)

Finally, one day, Li Shen invited Yu Wan to the school hillside.

It’s late autumn. The leaves of the ginkgo trees that the school planted have turned yellow, paving the road in gold.

A City Conservatory has a popular street lined with ginkgo trees. Whenever the season arrives, it would create an ethereal picture. Many people who don’t attend the school will also come here and take pictures of the beautiful ginkgo trees.

Yu Wan came today to also see the ginkgo leaves. When the leaves started to change, the conservatory’s campus website has been uploading photos of the trees online and provided a reference on when is the best time to look at the ginkgo.

Yu Wan specifically picked a working day to come but unexpectedly there are still a lot of people. Walking through the street and stepping on the dry ginkgo leaves, Yu Wan excitedly exclaimed, “Your school is so beautiful! I really envy that you spend four years here!”

Li Shen raised his hand and took pictures of Yu Wan, “You’ll get used to it after four years.”

Yu Wan realized that he was taking pictures and ran up to look at him, “Ah, how can you randomly take pictures!”

Li Shen smiled, “It looks good either way.”

Yu Wan, “......”

His mouth is too sweet!

“We’re already here. Why don’t we take some pictures.” Yu Wan pulled Li Shen to her side and turned on selfie mode on his phone, “Come closer.”

Li Shen pressed his head against Yu Wan and made a heart.

With a click, Yu Wan took the photo and studied it, “Although we are good-looking, we can barely see the ginkgo!”

Li Shen laughed, There are so many people here, it won’t look nice. Why don’t we go somewhere else?”

Yu Wan curiously asked him, “Your school has other places with ginkgo trees?”

“No.” Li Shen moved to her side and whispered into her ear, “But our school has a hillside where couples usually go to fool around. Since everyone is here, no one will be there.”

Yu Wan’s ear reddened by his breath. To make matters worse, he deliberately brought it up, “Why is your ear red? So cute.”

Yu Wan, “.....”

Yu Wan harshly pushed him away and turned away, “I’m not going. There aren’t any ginkgo trees there.”

“There are no ginkgo trees but there is something else.”

Yu Wan glanced at him, “What is there?”

“You’ll know when you see it.” Li Shen smiled, “Don’t worry. With the day so bright, I won’t do anything to you.”

“......” She doesn’t believe it. Last time at Lize Park, wasn’t the day also bright.

But Yu Wan was curious and decided to follow Li Shen. The hillside is covered in grass. Even though it is autumn, the grass is still green.

There really isn’t anyone at the hillside but there is a guitar laying there. Li Shen led her to where the guitar is and had her sit down. Yu Wan saw him pick up the guitar and asked, “This is your guitar? Aren’t you afraid you might lose it?”

Li Shen carried the guitar and faced Yu Wan, “This guitar is worthless. No one will want it. When winter break comes, I will get a new one.”

Yu Wan “oh” and asked, “Are you going to sing?”

“En.” Li Shen light strums the strings, “I wrote a song for you to sing.”

“Okay.” Yu Wan was very interested in Li Shen’s song and sat cross-legged as she looked at him.

Li Shen slightly warmed up his throat and plucked a few strings, “This song is called 《Lily》.”

The gentle notes flow from his fingers as Li Shen’s voice changed the autumn wind into a spring breeze.

“Lily, I want to grow flowers for you

Lily, I want to give all the stars to you

Lily, I want to express all my love to you

I want to trace your eyebrows with my fingertip

I met a girl named Lily

On a bright summer day

Out story won’t end with summer

Spring to winter

One year, ten years, a hundred years.

Lily, I will still sing this song to you…..”

This is the first time Yu Wan heard him sing. She knows he is a student at the conservatory but she never thought he can sing so well.

The bright youth was wearing a simple sweater and a pair of jeans. Holding a guitar, he was sitting on the grass singing to her affectionately.

Only her.

She will never forget this scene in her life.

After the guitar stopped, Li Shen looked at her expectantly, “What do you think?”

Yu Wan furiously clapped, “Gish, you sing so well! You will definitely become a big singer in the future!”

Li Shen’s eyes were filled with smiles, “Do you like it?”

“I really like it!”

“I wrote this song for you.” Li Shen looked at her, “My Lily.”

“Miss Yu, we’re here.” The driver’s voice came from the front. Yu Wan returned to her sense and nodded her head in thanks.

When she got home, Yu Wan tossed her bag onto her bed and opened the curtains. There is no one in Li Shen’s courtyard, him or the Shiba Inu.

She stared at his yard for a while before turning back to her table and turned on the computer.

She listened to Li Shen’s song《Heartstring》many times and started to appreciate EDM music. She played the song on loop until she is familiar with Li Shen’s breathing pattern.

But she never dared to listen to 《Lily》.

She typed the word Lily on the music platform and the first thing that appeared on the search result is Li Shen’s live performance of the song on 《Heavenly Voice》.

She clicked play and heard the familiar tune coming from the speaker.

“Lily, the spring in the garden is because of you

Lily, the water flows because of you

Lily, my beating heart

Is also because of you.”

His singing caused the audience to scream. Even the judges excitedly said, “His voice is amazing, his tone is great, gentle and low. It is very sexy, like a man kissed by the goddess.”

When the song ended, the audience erupted into applause. Yu Wan, however, was already weeping in front of the computer before it even ended.
