Chapter 920 - My Favorite Love Song (1/2)

Darren stretched out his hand and picked up the thing that caught his attention. His brows knitted up as he continued to stare at it for a while.

”Sweets, why is this with you?”

Xiu looked at the men's suit jacket in his hands and paused before saying, ”That... That's the jacket of the dumbest person I've ever come across in my life.”

”Oh?” responded Darren as his lips stretched out in a forced smile.

”I'm telling you the truth,” she emphasized. ”It was raining back then and he offered me a jacket. I mean, he had such a big car, he could have offered me a lift. There is also a possibility that he had an umbrella in that big car, he could have offered that as well. But no! He offered this jacket. You tell me, isn't it dumb?”

Darren nodded at her, ”Sure! I must have lost my mind to even offer the jacket.”

”Huh?”

”Then why are you keeping it even after all this time?”

Xiu scratched her head, ”I don't know. I just liked the gesture even though it didn't mean much. In this world, I've seen people walk away even when they can see you dying. I don't even know why he even offered to put his jacket on me. We were just strangers. Neither he saw my face nor did I saw his. Yet, he was willing to help. I wanted to keep it as a reminder that the world hasn't lost all the good people yet.”

Darren smiled at her before he softly started singing...

♫♪I've been holding on too long

I've been holding on too long

But those promises of forever

were never meant to be strong♫♪

Xiu's eyes went round when she heard those lyrics come out of his mouth.

♫♪I saw a notion in her eyes

in the wake of my smile

I wrote a story of our love

I wonder if she heard the call

of my yearning heart♫♪

Xiu placed a hand over her mouth and gasped in shock. That song! She sang it outside the cemetery that day when she was offered this jacket. She remembered it clearly.

♫♪Oh, look I'm dreaming again

With only my wishful thinking

Even when I know,

this is just another sad song♫♪

♫♪But I was holding onto it for too long

I wonder if she finally saw me falling apart

I wonder if she heard the melody of my heart

singing just another sad song♫♪
