Chapter 239
My face looked a little distorted from the swelling after a night of crying. I put on heavier makeup to hide
it. I put on a snow–white casual long dress with silver sequins embroidered on the hem andbed
my clean hair to naturally drape on my back.
I wore the white strappy sandals with pearls I had recently bought while shopping with Colin, carried my
beloved guitar, and stepped out of the apartment.
I didn’t expect Felix to be waiting for me in front of the apartment building.
When he saw me, a hint of surprise and delight shed through his bright eyes.
He was in an all–ck attire. Looking at him like this gave me a headache again.
With the way we were dressed and how we were about to perform in front of thousands of people, it
would be a shame if we didn’t generate some gossip–worthy news.
If I had known earlier, I would have worn something colorful. It would have been better than me in all
white and him in all ck. We looked like angels descending to Earth.
At 8:00 pm, the performance officially began.
The outdoor za, capable of amodating thousands, was packed with people asser lights
sliced through the night sky like arrows.
Every face was brimming with joy.
The student council chose a male and female host. The male host was dressed in a silver-
gray tailcoat. He had broad eyebrows and a tall, handsome stature. Meanwhile, the female. host was in
a bright red knee–length dress. She had delicate features and a radiant smile:
After a brief and lively opening speech, a group of young students appeared on stage from various
entry points amidst thunderous apuse. They danced with passionate exuberance. in the deafening
music, greatly igniting the atmosphere of the performance.
I was sitting in the waiting area on the side of the stage, waving the glow stick in my hand. It excitedly
screamed with the others, but I was unable to express the joy I felt.
After the dance, a senior came on stage with a bass guitar and sang a very old but explosive. song,
“You Are Not Alone“.
The entire audience joined in the chorus. Most of the teachers and students swayed their bodies to the
music, with moonwalks sweeping across the venue.

I stood up excitedly too and sang loudly with the rhythm, nearly throwing my glow stick.
Somehow, the scene of watching a performance with Colin during our New Year’s shopping spree
suddenly ovepped with the current moment.
The same lively scene, the same frenzied audience, the same excited me, and the same sea of waving
glow sticks.
That year, to give me a clearer view, Colin pulled me through the crowded sea of people. I could still
remember theints of people nearby. Everything was vivid in my mind.
The difference now was that Colin was no longer by my side.
My high spirits suddenly dipped at this realization. Even the glow stick in my hand felt like it shouldn’t
be waved anymore.

Fortunately, the song I was about to sing contained a gentle sadness. Given my current mood, it would
inadvertently help me deliver an even better performance.
My act was scheduled toward the end.
Standing on the stage under the watchful eyes of thousands, the spotlight quietly shone on my head
and cast a pattern of light in front of me. I strummed the guitar strings as the apanying music
flowed.
“I’ve walked through the breeze you’ve passed, does this count as an embrace?
“I’ve walked the paths you’ve taken, does this count as a meeting?
“I still like you so much, wishing to be with you until we’re old.
“I still favor you the same, only for your gentleness…”
The sound system was excellent. The song,sting just over four minutes, quickly came to
an end.
I didn’t know if it was because Felix and I sang too well or because the audience, ustomed to the
passionate performances before us, found our subdued presentation uniquely appealing. But there was
a full 30 seconds of silence before a thunderous apuse erupted.
