She could not help feeling stunned; her heart pounded thunderously at his affectionate gaze.

  Suddenly, he gave her a quizzical look and a gentle smile. “Do you like music?”


  She nodded. “I like it very much.”


  “Shall I sing you a song?” he asked.

  Yun Shishi’s face lit up in surprise. “Eh? Is that okay?”


  “Yes! I specially prepared a song for you. It’s Heavenly King Lin’s song and I wish to sing it to you.”


  With reddening cheeks, she clapped her hands eagerly. “Alright!”


  The setting was at a café. Inside, a grand piano was placed on the romantically decorated music stage. Gu Xingze slowly took his place before it.

  Somehow, when the superstar sat before the grand piano, his gentle side profile instantly glowed and his elegant temperament became apparent.

  No wonder he was the king of acting and soulful prince of love songs. Tenderness rippled in his gentle and delicate eyes when he dipped his head slightly.

  He placed his fair hands on the monochrome keys; his beautifully long and slender fingers, which seemed to be carved out of jade, should belong to an outstanding pianist.

  He turned his face slightly and gave her a deep look.

  Her entire body stiffened as she felt something poking at her heart. The loving tenderness in his eyes was apparent.

  This was no act.

  It felt so real to be that.

  Her heart suddenly ached.

  He gradually started to play the piano. Along with the jingling piano sounds, his soft and magnetic voice flowed out gently.

  “Love yourself and someone will love you

  This optimistic saying

  Happiness feels so real

  I can’t find the right adjective

  Silence is concealing this overflowing passion

  All that remains are interjections

  The sense of peace when you say my name……”


  He played the song so wholeheartedly that every note seemed to be engraved in the listeners’ souls, causing their hair to stand on end and goosebumps to appear on their skin.

  His voice sounded so gentle and beautiful. At the emotional part of the song, his gaze lowered with a slight frown and his thin lips slowly parted to harmonize with the melancholic and affectionate piano sound. The listeners could not help feeling the urge to burst into tears.

  “The fallen leaves pen out a poem

  Time is slipping but our story has just begun

  This is the first time

  I’ve experienced love that can be generous yet selfish

  You’re my keyword

  I’m not sure if the best way to love is a verb or a noun

  I long to tell you my deepest feelings

  But I’ve forgotten the words

  There’s a time for everything, even for tears and laughter

  I’m not afraid of unspoken subtexts……”


  Through the microphone, his mellow and slightly languid voice, which needed no post-rendering, was already very textured.

  Someone once commented that his voice had a mystical draw to it. Just listening to it once was enough for the listener to be deeply fascinated and feel mushy on the inside.

  That particular song was a very sad love ballad, which Heavenly King Lin performed at the Golden Song Awards.

  Gu Xingze’s cover of the song had his uniqueness.

  The entire set fell into silence.

  Even the directors were deeply engrossed in the song.

  The song was so well-sung!

  This was also why no one dared to refute his well-deserved title of King of Songs at the Golden Song Awards.

  His vocals were simply perfect!

  Cast and crew alike could not help but indulge in it.
