Chapter 1 (2/2)

Unfortunately, I only had a stepmother, though she hadn't treated me badly but it certainly couldn't be considered as good either. That was why the song touched the void inside of me and stirred my heart until my uncle pushed me and said a sentence: ”Work hard to observe more and be less intruding in other's business.”

I then sobered up and wiped my face, my hands were full of water.

Later I realized that all the tears that had been acc.u.mulated over the years, had been awakened by the voice of that person.

He walked out of the studio in a very slow pace, his complexion was relaxed.

When seeing him, for a bunch of people it was like seeing a crab steamed stuffed bun that just came out of the oven, they would surround him to inquire about his well-being and complement him. My uncle accompanied by me also approached him with a flattering smile that I had never seen and said: ”Let this child follow you, you're welcome to order him around, he just nests at home and provoke gossip……”

After hearing that I instantly realized that was why my uncle was so eager to find me a job, in the eyes of my stepmother a 20-year-old that wasn't her biological son was a parasite, of course, only worth to be described by two words like ”gossip.”

(T/N: 闲话 (Gossip) = 2 words in Chinese)

He, due to respect, would then look at me, he couldn't refuse but had to nod. I thought at that moment in his eyes he didn't even realize if I were a male or female, he seemed like someone who just wanted to sleep, though in the next instant before he left, I didn't know what kind of medicine he accidentally took, but he actually turned around and smiled at me.

His gentle smile radiated from the corner of his eyes in between his eyebrows, it was very lethal especially at the time when I was lost in the desert filled with emotion, a drop of water was very precious to me not to mention that he generously gave me a bottle.

I think that it was probably also at that time that I fell in love with him.

Falling in love with a person still, needs a reason.

A person, when they are most vulnerable, it is especially easy to fall in love with another person.

I unluckily was born with Scorpio as my constellation I was destined to suffer because being born under this sign when falling in love with a person, it is very difficult to have a change of heart.

When you get caught up in the same position as me and your heart clearly understands that it is hopeless to begin with when that time comes find me and together we will sing a sad song, my friend.
