443 Shining Eyes (2/2)
I caught a glimpse of you
Your beautiful self
Making even the flowers smile back”
He lowered his mic, continuing to look at Iris. All of his attention was on her.
Iris smiled at him and raised her own mic to sing next. Her voice sounded light yet was still exquisite, harmonizing perfectly with the music.
”Smitten I followed you around
Not expecting anything in return
But you always knew
So your shining eyes saw me”
At this moment, the rest of the orchestra joined in playing the melody, making the music sound fuller. The other guitars and the drums added a modern vibe to the song at the same time.
Jin Chonglin gestured towards Iris and sang as if she was the only person he could see at that moment. His expression was so passionate that a few LinRis shippers in the audience already started fainting from overexcitement. He sang more to her than to the audience.
”Time stopped in that moment
The sun paled in your presence”
Iris placed a hand on her chest and also sang with much passion.
”Birdsong filled the air
As you chose me”
The pop band of electric guitar, bass guitar, and drums took the lead with a heart-tugging melody and slow tempo. The classical instruments balanced this with the light and soaring background melody.
But the stars of the instruments remained the acoustic guitar and the piano. They provided the main melody that both Iris and Jin Chonglin harmonized with. The Spanish-flavoured playing of the acoustic guitar especially added a sensual quality to the romantic music.
Iris and Jin Chonglin started singing together. Their voices sounded very different, yet they harmonized so perfectly that the audience felt goosebumps listening to them. There was a bit of a growl to Jin Chonglin's voice, while Iris' was just soaring smoothly to the heavens.
”Smitten I had followed you around
Not expecting anything in return
But you always knew
So your shining eyes saw me”
They walked together to the front of the stage, exciting their fans sitting at the front seats of the audience. More fainted.
Iris looked and interacted with the audience more than Jin Chonglin. He couldn't seem to tear his eyes away from her during the performance. So even when she wasn't looking at him, he continued to gaze at her with deep eyes burning with passion.
The LinRis shippers took this as proof that their Prince Lin Lin was completely in love with their Boss Iris. After all, he couldn't stop looking at her! Wasn't it so obvious? They squealed with giddy delight, already feeling certain that the two were really in a romantic relationship.
Iris finally returned her eyes to Jin Chonglin and looked at him. She also looked like she was professing her love to him with her eyes and her singing. The LinRis shippers squealed even harder.
She sang with so much tenderness and emotion that she looked exactly like a woman in love. There was no mistaking such a pure expression filled with love.
”As I'm singing I look into your eyes
And know you see me like I do you
Even as we grow old I never forget
The man who saw me that day”
The audience were squealing so hard from watching the romantic pair on the stage that they felt like they might vomit out their throats. To these fans, especially the LinRis shippers, the love song was more than a simple sentimental ballad. It was a love letter of their Boss Iris and Prince Lin Lin to each other.
