Chapter 254 (2/2)

Zhao Youyue appeared to be an extraordinary person now, in the eyes of the other classmates, giving out the legendary “Aura of An Ambitious King.” Their knees were begging to meet the ground, so that they could worship this being!

The song that she decided to play was not a famous classical music, but a song created by Chu Luoxun, the genius composer — “The Song of Youth.”

One would certainly know that this was a very vigorous and uplifting song. It would easily find its way to its listener’s hearts!

After silently reciting “To the God of Music, please heed my call,” she began to perform!

Initially, everyone simply enjoyed it as any normal person would, for they knew little about classical music, let alone the song she was playing. It did not take long before they were absorbed in her music, which tickled and teased their imagination!

Even Lao Qiu was no exception!

He felt that he had traveled back to the time when he was a student. Who wouldn’t want a wonderful period of youth? Who wouldn’t hope that his first love could sing the song of youth with him?

Everyone seemed to have traveled back to their freshman year. They could feel again the anticipation and anxiety that they had when they were about to enter senior high school. The next year would be just as exciting now

Some found themselves back on the basketball court, playing happily with their best friends; some had returned to the school’s library and were reading their favourite books alone; some walked hand in hand with their crushes, strolling around the school; some were earnestly cleaning the classroom which seemed to filled with the colourful rays of the sunset

Under the influence of the melodious violin sound, everyone recalled their most joyous and sweet campus moments, for the past one year. Some laughed, while some cried as unrequited love was a thing of sweet sorrow. It was a pantomime that could turn into a tragedy after the confession is made.

For most people, the school uniforms would be their couple shirts, and the graduation photo would be the only photo of him and her.

There would be several regrettable moments in everyone’s wonderful youth. However, after many years, one would realize that they were a part of the song of youth, the pieces that formed the soul of the song.

Han Leng’s eyes glazed over and he stared intently at Zhao Youyue. Affected by her penetrating music, he recalled the thoughts that he had already given up

He now realized that he never gave up, all this while. It had only been strengthened during the period when he often spoke about Chu Luoxun being the one he loved the most.

Nonetheless, he knew that she would forever see him as a friend.

Even though he was not her friend, he still wanted to own the one he had sincerely admired before, after looking at her for many times. He had never once given up his love for her. It had only been the illusion of absence, brewing and churning with the intensity of the tides, under cover of dark clouds(1).

Eventually, Han Leng laughed, as he realized all this. All the anger that he had accumulated for the past few days disappeared in the flawless sound of the violin!

He utterly indulged in the world shaped by her music

The outside of the classroom had become crowded too, and everyone was blown away by the song of youth. None of them made a sound!

Everybody was listening to it in silence

This was a miracle. This was a scene which would only appear in the novel, but, now, it had manifested in reality.
