Su Ziqian had thought that she was about to be rejected, and it was to her surprise that Gu Yu agreed to her request. In that instant, her eyes lit up in a huge smile, and she ran over to the song selector and turned her head back delicately. She called out, “Yu, we’ll sing… Hiros.h.i.+ma Mon Amour, all right?”

Gu Yu’s face was shrouded in the shadows, and his expression couldn’t be seen. He seemed to hesitate for a moment–or perhaps not–before replying in a cold and indifferent tone, “Whatever.”

Hiros.h.i.+ma Mon Amour…

Like a heavy weight, those words pressed down on Xu Weilai’s heart painfully.

Xiao Chun, who was in the know, jumped up immediately. She was about to say something in protest when Xu Weilai stopped her with her sharp look and a quick hand. She pulled Xiao Chun to sit back down.

Xu Weilai looked up at the angry Xiao Chun and shook her head silently.

Xiao Chun opened her mouth to speak. “But this song–”

Xu Weilai interrupted her quickly, “It doesn’t matter!”

On the other side of the room, Su Ziqian had already selected the song “Hiros.h.i.+ma Mon Amour”, and the instrumental intro had begun to play. She walked back to Gu Yu’s side and sat down. She picked up a microphone and pa.s.sed it to Gu Yu before taking a microphone of her own and looking affectionately at the handsome man beside her.

…

You should have refused me before.

You shouldn’t have allowed me to chase for your love.

…And given me the illusion I longed for.

Leaving me a name I would never forget.

…

Gu Yu’s voice was deep, low, and had a mesmerizing quality to it. Although he didn’t sing with any emotions, his singing was pleasant to the ears, and the listeners were soon intoxicated by the sound of his voice.

Su Ziqian followed up with the female part. Her voice was extremely sweet and carried with it a strong sense of happiness that was contrasted sharply against the melancholic style of the song.
