Chapter 26 Flowers in the Air
Chapter 26 Flowers in the Air
A gentle evening breeze passed by, carrying a melodious tune to everyone.
With one hand holding a sugar painting and the other holding An Yixuan, Yu Xiaorui was pulling him along with great enthusiasm.
She and An Yixuan each drew their own sugar paintings, and they held them so preciously that they couldn't bear to eat them.
Suddenly, Yu Xiaorui tilted her ear and unconsciously stopped walking:
"There seems to be some sound."
She paused again:
"It sounds nice."
"Hmm?" Hearing Yu Xiaorui's words, An Yixuan also listened attentively.
However, the background music grew louder, perfectly drowning out the melody carried by the wind.
Unlike Yu Xiaorui, who traveled light, An Yixuan carried more items.
Besides the sugar painting, the hand holding the items also had two bags of soda and a bag of rattles hanging from its fingers.
"Want to go look for it?" An Yixuan asked.
Yu Xiaorui listened for a while longer before shaking her head.
"I can't hear you anymore. Let's go to the stalls up ahead; they seem to have some interesting games to play."
……
I'm here.
Right here.
As fleeting as a glimpse of beauty
As brilliant as summer flowers
I am this dazzling moment.
It's a fleeting flame streaking across the sky.
I'll do anything for you.
I will be extinguished and never come back.
It was a worthwhile trip!
It was a worthwhile trip!
As fleeting as a glimpse of beauty
Openness before your eyes
I am this dazzling moment.
It's a fleeting flame streaking across the sky.
I would give anything for your love.
I will be extinguished and never come back.
Springtime all the way
A road full of thorns
As fleeting as a glimpse of beauty
As brilliant as summer flowers
This is a world where you can't linger too long.
……
When the music ended, Feng Shuyuan opened her eyes and saw Shi Bai squatting in front of her, listening quietly.
"Aren't you going to play for a while?" Feng Shuyuan asked, putting his guitar aside.
"Because it sounds so good." Shi Bai said honestly.
He was about to go check out the stalls selling things when he suddenly heard a very faint guitar sound, and immediately decided to come and take a look.
I didn't know until I saw it that Sister Yuanyuan's talents are not limited to business.
Yuan Yuan seems quite different when she's playing and singing.
The corners of her mouth would unconsciously turn up, and her humming voice would be extremely cheerful.
She looked extremely happy.
Sitting there, she seemed to be radiating light.
"What song is this?" Shi Bai asked softly, as if afraid of disturbing Feng Shuyuan.
"This song is called 'Life is Like Summer Flowers,' and it was written by a singer I really like named Pu Shu."
Seeing the longing in Shi Bai's eyes, Feng Shuyuan didn't mince words. She patted her side:
"Want to learn?"
Shi Bai nodded honestly and sat down.
Feng Shuyuan placed the guitar in his hands, and chuckled as he looked at Shi Bai's somewhat helpless expression.
She recalled her first time learning guitar, and how stiff she felt then.
After briefly introducing a few necessary terms, Feng Shuyuan began...
For the first lesson, it's best to start by playing the sound.
We can do the rest of the introduction later.
"Hold the neck of the instrument with your left hand and press the strings. Use your right hand to pluck the strings at the soundhole."
After correcting Shi Bai's posture while holding the guitar, Feng Shuyuan then showed Shi Bai what sounds each string could produce.
Then, he began his first performance with Shi Bai.
What? Is it possible that someone secretly practices "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" as the first piece of music they learn?
Looking at Shi Bai's eyes, which were sparkling with excitement.
Feng Shuyuan felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.
Being a teacher feels so real.
Suddenly, Feng Shuyuan saw Yu Xiaorui carrying a rabbit lantern and pulling An Yixuan toward them.
In order not to disturb the young couple, she quickly led Shi Bai to another location.
However, it seems a bit too late.
Feng Shuyuan subconsciously pulled Shi Bai aside.
After confirming that the two wouldn't see him, Feng Shuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but then suddenly froze.
So why should I hide?
Sure enough, once I relaxed, my brain started to malfunction.
Feng Shuyuan thought to himself, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Just as she was about to clear her throat and speak, she saw Yu Xiaorui already facing An Yixuan and speaking:
"Yixuan, thank you for always being by my side all these years."
Feng Shuyuan pulled his outstretched foot back in.
Going out to bother them now would be a bit tactless.
There's no other way but to continue hiding.
Shi Bai, carrying his guitar, was dragged around by Feng Shuyuan until he was dizzy. He finally stopped to catch his breath and realized that he had entered a scene of a young couple confessing their love.
This is so embarrassing. It's definitely the most embarrassing thing that has happened to him in all these years, without a doubt.
For a moment, he didn't even dare to breathe.
"Xiao Rui?"
An Yixuan seemed somewhat surprised.
"Don't speak, let me speak."
Yu Xiaorui acted domineeringly for once, which was rare for her.
Upon hearing this, An Yixuan fell silent.
"From the moment we met, you've always been the one tolerating my little whims, playing along with my craziness and antics."
"This is the first time in my life that someone has been so kind to me."
Yu Xiaorui seemed to remember something, and her eyes began to redden.
"Thank you for giving me the life I dreamed of, thank you for accepting everything about me."
"Thank God that I met you."
"Thank you too, thank you for being in my life."
"I may not be qualified because of my imperfections, but I really hope that I can walk with you forever."
By the end, Yu Xiaorui's voice was choked with sobs.
"Silly girl, what are you thinking? I'm good to you because you deserve it. You're such a good girl."
Seeing his wife like this, An Yixuan felt both heartache and love, and quickly pulled her into her arms.
"You said you were grateful to have met me, and I'm just as grateful to have met you."
"You are my little source of joy."
"I'm honored to walk this road ahead with you, and I only hope to walk it with you. Do you understand?"
Seeing An Yixuan's anxious expression, Yu Xiaorui's eyes were filled with tears, but she burst out laughing.
"Fool."
Seeing Yu Xiaorui smile, An Yixuan felt relieved.
He rummaged through his clothes for a moment and pulled out a long, thin box.
“At the stall just now, I saw you looking at this hairpin for a long time, so I bought it for you.”
"I wouldn't deliberately try to save you money; I didn't buy it because I didn't know how to wear it."
Yu Xiaorui gave him a reproachful look, but her eyes were still smiling.
"I just secretly asked that employee how to wear this. Come on, look down, I'll put it on you."
"Mmm!" Yu Xiaorui did like it, and quietly lowered her head upon hearing this.
The night sky was clear and bright, dotted with countless stars.
The two of them looked beautiful, like a painting.
Feng Shuyuan listened to the young couple pouring out their hearts to each other, and felt a deep sense of emotion.
I never expected that my arrangements would actually come in handy.
Since I've already seen it, it would seem a bit impolite not to offer my blessings.
Thinking this, Feng Shuyuan picked up his phone and sent a few messages.
Shi Bai stared at the "culprit" with some suspicion.
Then, I was startled by a loud bang, and the guitar almost slipped from my hand.
Shi Bai hurriedly gripped it firmly with both hands.
"Boom."
Yu Xiaorui's gaze unconsciously followed the sound.
In the deep darkness of night, a tiny point of light struggles to shoot into the sky.
Then, it bloomed brilliantly in their eyes.
"So flowers can bloom in the sky too."
