Chapter 240 (1/2)

Song of the Spirit

Gu Yuan came to visit Chu Luoxun alone. He had his head bowed down, as depressed as a human can be, as if he was the one dying.

If it had not been for Lin Meiyue, he wasn’t even sure if he would have the courage to visit Chu Luoxun.

Chu Luoxun noticed his saddened look. She cheered herself up, smiled at him and said, “Being sent into the ICU was a slight roadblock. That is my first time being in an ICU. The place makes me nervous…Hey, don’t give me that look, you’re visiting me!”

“I’m…I’m sorry!” apologized Gu Yuan immediately.

“Oh! You have even brought me my favorite cake. I want to eat it outside.” said Chu Luoxun with a wider smile.

“It’s freezing outside…” advised Gu Yuan.

“I don’t want to stay in the ward!” said Chu Luoxun capriciously.

Chu Luoxun asked Gu Yuan to carry her on his back to the rooftop.

As Gu Yuan was carrying her on his back, he grew all too aware of how light she actually was. He finally realized how much Chu Luoxun was suffering from her disease.

At the same time, he felt like he was carrying the whole world. Her smile from the beginning was like a reminder to him that she was a perfect goddess who could kick away any form of disease!

He remembered that being his first time being in such close contact with her. He suddenly hoped that he could carry her on his back forever. He recalled all the good times he had with her. He knew her hobbies very well. She loved dolls and sweets. She was a very soft-hearted and normal girl.

However, in the past, he never dared get close to her. He always felt that she was too brilliant. She was unattainable, beyond his reach. It was only until this moment that he noticed that she was as much a mortal as he was. That was why she wouldn’t be immune to diseases.

The two of them reached the rooftop. Chu Luoxun saw the snow falling from the sky. Her smile grew wider. She could not help but praise the beauty of snowflakes.

Chu Luoxun was gently placed on the bench. She asked, “Still playing the piano?”

“Not anymore.”

“So you’ve found the abyss again.”

“I can’t continue playing anymore. Music has taken those close to me, one after another…”

“Don’t you still have Meiyue? Besides, I’m feeling great as well! You still have me!” Chu Luoxun smiled and said, “My surgery will be on 18th February. I will recover. I will never stop struggling until the very last moment. This is your fault, all because of you and Meiyue! Why am I so attached to this world? It’s all because of the two of you!”

That’s true. Chu Luoxun’s original body, Zhao Youyue, had always been a firm member of Lin Meiyue’s fan club. She will never stop supporting them as a couple.

18th February would also be the day of Gu Yuan’s finals.

“Why don’t you struggle a little bit more? Aren’t we both best at struggling? We have already entered the finals! Let’s do it again!” Chu Luoxun tried her best to encourage Gu Yuan.

The moment Gu Yuan heard the word ‘again,’ he remembered the picture of his one and only public ensemble with Chu Luoxun. He had been expecting to have a second one. However, due to her health condition, that window has passed.

Everytime Gu Yuan thought of the picture; there would be infinite power flowing out from within his body. However, he replied, “I have not touched the piano for a week. My fingers have…”

“Isn’t that the same as our first performance together?”
