Ah, that’s it! Chenxing thought of a Chinese song and imdiately felt brimming with confidence. Her soft voice echoed above the lawn, with an air of playful coquettishness: "Then may I sing ’Three Lives Stone’ for everyone? It should fit the the, please spare this little girl, I won’t dare to do it again next ti..."
The crowd watched her act coy and cute, and couldn’t help but laugh, especially Gu Shaocheng, whose eyes crinkled into lines as he mused: What a sly girl you are.
Chenxing was relieved to have finally won over the guests.
A pause of several seconds.
The ancient-style music, with a touch of exotic flair, began playing on the lawn, with a particularly evocative taste.
"Can’t see clearly, am I awake, the past is like smoke and water as a mirror..." Chenxing’s voice began gently: "Even if fate brings us together and tears us apart, again and again, what does it matter, our destiny is engraved on the Three Lives Stone..."
"No regrets no complaints... the passage of ti etched upon the Three Lives Stone..."
As Chenxing sang, she looked at a certain man in the audience, who was also looking at her. Their gaze was so deep and affectionate, as though everything else was re air.
At that mont, a dozen staff mbers slowly approached, pushing a flatbed trolley. Everyone looked on, wondering if under the red silk cover was the legendary Three Lives Stone?
"Wow, it’s so tall!"
"A boulder?"
"It looks to be about two ters sixty-seven!"
"Will it hold, is it fated, to keep the promises of a forr life, unclear and perhaps predestined... our destiny is engraved on the Three Lives Stone..." Unable to hold back the tears in her eyes, Chenxing’s voice quivered slightly as she sang. She even wondered if one day, if Shaocheng were to fall ill and leave this world, could they have a next life? Just the thought of facing life and death one day made her heart ache in spasms.
"With a sigh, unable to forget the mockery of fate, pulling us apart, leaving twin trails of tears on the Three Lives Stone ... No regrets no complaints, even if the heart suffers from the inevitable pain, the passage of ti etched upon the Three Lives Stone..."
She continued to sing as she walked down to the stage to et with Gu Shaocheng.
Gu Shaocheng indulgently took her hand, his movents graceful and dazzling.
His lips kissed her face, then he personally led her to the Three Lives Stone that the staff had pushed over.
Standing before the towering Three Lives Stone, her singing did not stop, and Chenxing blinked as many people crowded around.
At that mont, Gu Shaocheng’s slender hand tugged at one end of the red silk, and with a swoosh, lifted the silk.
A collective gasp arose at that mont.
Even Chenxing couldn’t help but pause her singing, as she stared dumbfounded at the huge stone in front of her.
"Wow..."
"So beautiful..."
"The carving is amazing..."
"Is this the Three Lives Stone? The color is so beautiful and clear, even prettier than jade..."
"Indeed, it’s a rare genuine piece!"
Chenxing had already held her breath, how could she still finish the rest of the song?
The director took the liberty of switching the music to the original recording, and Chenxing covered her mouth, shocked and delighted, hardly believing it, her eyes darting between Gu Shaocheng and the Three Lives Stone, she couldn’t help exclaiming: "Shaocheng, is this...?"
The photo of the Three Lives Stone he had shown her before didn’t capture the most crucial part, did it?
