Chapter 30: She Cried

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After leaving the hotel, Qi Yu headed straight for the beach. A few tourists gathered by the seaside, and the lights weren’t that bright. Some people suddenly hugged and kissed as they walked. Qi Yu checked out those couples, but in the end, he didn’t see Song Nian among them. 

Qi Yu licked his back teeth. When the old man passed away, he repeatedly promised the old man that he would take good care of Song Nian. If he hadn’t made an oath in front of the old man, he wouldn’t have come out now.

As Qi Yu thought of this, he walked towards the beach further away. Song Nian was actually standing by the beach with the singer, chatting casually in the wind.

The singer was a traveling singer who had been to many cities. He said he would stay for a while if he found somewhere interesting and would move when he got bored.

Song Nian looked at him strangely, “Why aren’t you settling down?”

The singer smiled, “Perhaps I haven’t met anyone who could make me want to settle down.” He turned to look at Song Nian, “What about you? Was that really your brother?”

Song Nian shook her head, “No, he’s a good friend. He came here to work, and I came here…” She paused for a moment before lifting her lips, “Alright, I came here to heal. I just got divorced not too long ago.”

There were so many things on her mind that it drove Song Nian crazy. She really wanted to find someone to talk to.

The singer was obviously a little surprised. He stared at Song Nian for a while. “You look very young. I didn’t expect you to be married.” Then, he asked again, “Then why did you get divorced? Did you have a fight? Or did someone make an unforgivable mistake?”

Song Nian thought for a moment, “No, we didn’t fight. We didn’t make any mistakes. He just doesn’t love me. I don’t want to hold on to someone who doesn’t love me forever. I don’t want us to torture each other. That’s too sad, don’t you think?”

She turned to look at the singer and smiled. The singer suddenly didn’t know what to say. There was nothing he could say to comfort her. He was still carrying the guitar on his back. He thought for a while and said, “Why don’t I sing you a song? I’m not very good at comforting people.”

Song Nian remembered the English song he had just sung in the bar. She liked listening to it, so she nodded, “Okay.”

There was a rock next to them. The singer took out his guitar to test the sound before playing and singing by himself.

Song Nian stood at the side, and her gaze fell on the surface of the sea. When the sea breeze blew over, it scattered her hair. The sea breeze was very loud, and most of the singer’s voice had been scattered. Song Nian could not hear it very well, but she still felt very emotional.

Ever since she was born, she had experienced many terrible things, but she had never cried. She wasn’t good at using tears to express her emotions, nor was she good at using tears to win sympathy. But now, for some reason, she suddenly couldn’t hold back her emotions.

Song Nian wiped her eyes and teased herself with a smile, “My eyes suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. I don’t know what’s wrong. Maybe your singing is too moving?”

The singer looked at her and paused for a moment before continuing. This was what Qi Yu saw when he came over. Song Nian was standing by the beach, covering her face with her hands, and her body was slightly bent. She was initially thin and weak, so she looked even smaller. She looked a little pitiful under the sea breeze.

Qi Yu automatically ignored the man next to Song Nian. He felt that Song Nian was probably crying, and her shoulders were shrugging, but the sea breeze blocked most of the sound.

Qi Yu did not immediately walk up but only stood not far away to watch. After the singer finished singing, he stood up and walked to Song Nian’s side, “I don’t have any tissue on me, why don’t I lend you my sleeve?”

He stretched out his arm, and Song Nian quickly wiped away her tears. She could even joke with him with a smile, “It’s okay, the sea breeze helped me dry it.”

The singer stared at Song Nian for a while, then suddenly let out a long sigh. Song Nian straightened her messy hair and turned to look at him, “It’s okay, I’m in a much better mood now. Your song…”

She suddenly stopped talking and looked past the singer toward Qi Yu, standing not far away.

Qi Yu stood where he was and did not move. Song Nian stared at him for a while and did not say anything else. She thought about it and turned to look at the singer. The singer had his back to Qi Yu, so he did not notice that Song Nian was lost in her thoughts just now. He even smiled and said to her, “It’s getting late. Let’s go back.”

However, as soon as he said that, Qi Yu walked over quickly and grabbed Song Nian’s arm. “It’s so late. Come back with me.”

Song Nian was shocked by Qi Yu’s actions, “What are you doing?”
