    Although he had known that Across the Starry Sky would be the beginning of her artistic career, Harrison rk didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.


    He thought of the impact this song had on Avril Green’s life in thest timeline, feeling a bit emotional.<div>


    In three years, she wouldpletely break from her family and take the path of a pioneering rock star, embarking on a life she otherwise wouldn’t have.


    In fact, she was already awakening, but it wouldn’t be until three yearster that she would break through and have a surge of creativity, going through many hardships and struggles in the process.


    “I wrote another song for you this time. It’s different from the style of Across the Starry Sky, but I think it suits your voice well,” Harrison informed Avril.


    Avril’s interest piqued, she asked, “What’s the song called?”


    Harrison: “Continue in the Next Life.”


    Avril was stunned.


    The most terrifying thing was the sudden silence in the air.


    Clever people think quickly, especially when filling in the nks.


    She wasn’t sure if Harrison had discovered something, or if the title meant what she suspected.


    She felt a bit wronged.


    The truth was that from the beginning, she never intended to fight for anything, yet things began to change gradually.<div>


    This strange feeling emerged, and she couldn’t pinpoint exactly when it started.


    The first time she saw this introverted yet bold young man with clear eyes at thepany, she was slightly curious, wondering what kind of music someone like him could create.


    Then there was indescribable astonishment, followed by her loss due to the ipatibility of their styles, and her rmendation for him to work with Leah rk.


    Likewise, she misinterpreted his frequent female perspective songs, running into small misunderstandings that becameical anecdotes when recalled.


    After that, it was her own birthday party where she watched Harrison, amoner, stand up for Carrie Thomas against Eric Mitchell.


    And then there was the night where he wrote six songs in one breath, showing his astounding talent.


    Avril thought this would be the end, but Harrison’s abilities were just beginning to unfold.


    She gradually got used to watching from afar, indirectly asking about his news, secretly listening to and repeatedly singing the songs he wrote, and helping him whenever possible – all that was enough for her.


    Avril had gotten everything she wanted in life too easily, so she never thought of actively fighting for anything.


    Having never tried to strive for something, she developed the habit of giving in when faced with challenges.


    Although her personality was assertive, she was actually quite passive.<div>


    She also knew that with her family background, love and marriage had little to do with each other.


    Since she was young, observing her seemingly perfect but distant parents’ conversation, she understood the rest of her life.


    When she told Harrison “I wish you a happy life together,” she had silently made up her mind not to disturb the couple.


    She didn’t want to lose Carrie, her like-minded friend, and she didn’t want to trouble Harrison.


    Of course, Avril knew Harrison’s character; he probably wouldn’t be too troubled and would simply reject her straightforwardly.


    She was aware of Harrison’s deliberate distancing over the past few days—how could she not understand?


    She even knew the reason for it.


    But since she never harbored any extravagant hopes from the start, she learned to be strong.


    As a result, she was able to control her emotions well and still appear as the close yet appropriately distant, refineddy from a well-known family.


    She always seemed approachable, but never too close, striking a perfect bnce.


    However, if you were to ask her if she regrets seeking help from the Capital, her answer would be three words: “No regrets.”<div>


    But despite being prepared for anything, Avril still felt a bit faint and unsteady when Harrison revealed the name of the song, Continue in the Next Life.


    The most powerless feeling was that she didn’t even have the right to me him for his coldness and indifference.


    But after all, she was Avril, ustomed to self-control. Her sense of helplessnesssted less than three seconds, before she quickly adjusted.


    Avril smiled, “It sounds like a heartfelt love song, doesn’t it?”


    Harrison nodded, “Yes. The depth of this song is on par with Across the Starry Sky. Of course, what level it will be sung at is still hard to say.”


    “Let me see the lyrics and sheet music. If it’s suitable for me, I’ll sing it. Otherwise, never mind,” she said.


    “Okay.” Harrison handed her a brand-new notebook.


    An hourter, Avril closed the notebook and shut her eyes.


    After a full ten minutes, she opened her eyes. “I’ll take the song.”


    Harrison: “That’s good.”


    Avril: “I’m not sure the feeling you’re expecting, but I believe that I will do it justice.”


    Harrisonughed, “I believe in your ability.”


    “The song feels a bit sad, but there’s a sense of extraordinary, carefree liberation in it. It gives me the feeling of letting go to gain something.”


    Avril gently stroked the notebook, a serene smile on her face, seeming somewhat intoxicated.


    In truth, she still hadn’t said everything.


    This female-perspective song also contained hints of Carrie, yet was Harrison’s kindest reminder for her.


    The song’s title reminded her of a Buddhist verse, “Bodhi has no tree, the bright mirror has no stand. Originally there is not a single thing, where can dust alight?”


    Suddenly, Avril seemed to have an epiphany.


    Harrison didn’t owe her anything.


    He never did anything to hurt her.


    She didn’t owe him anything either.


    But rtionships between men and women epass friendship as well, beyond romance.
