Chapter 245 - My Sky, My Love, My Lifetime... (1/2)

Dylan panicked... He completely lost his calmness.

And the first possibility that crossed his mind was; either she passed out somewhere or she hit her head and passed out somewhere. These two were the only logical scenarios to him. He tried to find her in the parking lot but of no avail. She was literally nowhere to be found.

Where the hell did she vanish?

”Don't tell me she went back inside to drink more?” Dylan thought out loud before running back towards the entrance of the bar.

Just as he entered, he heard a singing voice...

♪♫Sunday morning, rain is falling

Steal some covers, share some skin

Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable

You twist to fit the mold that I am in♪♫

Finding that sweet, soft, but a bit raspy drunk voice oddly familiar, Dylan took a turn towards the live stage built inside the bar. And just as he thought, he found Xiu up on the stage holding the mic in one hand and the alcohol bottle in the other hand. What he couldn't understand was why did the music band actually cooperate with her silliness?

However, it didn't take him long to understand that as she continued to sing...

♪♫But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do

And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew

That someday it would lead me back to you

That someday it would lead me back to you (someday)

That may be all I'll need (all I need)

In darkness, he is all I see (all I see)

Come and rest your bones with me

Driving slow on Sunday morning

And I never want to leave♪♫

Maroon5's 'Sunday Morning' wasn't an unfamiliar song to him. It was a famous song when he was a teenager. Obviously, he had sung it in his drunken stupor at least once in life. But that didn't mean he appreciated the way Xiu vanished without a word just to sing a song. So what if she was good at it? Although he didn't want to admit it, she really had good control over her voice as if singing like a professional.
