Chapter 737 - 255: Li Yuan’s ’Loving Breakfast’, Qi Siyu’s Dream_2

"Psh, and I suppose I should praise you as the most wonderful man in the world?" Qi Siyu rolled her eyes at Li Yuan.

"Such empty titles are worthless to me. I don’t need anyone giving me a ’good guy card’..." Li Yuan joked. "Heh, as for how good I am, you already experienced that last night, didn’t you?"

Qi Siyu glared at Li Yuan and huffed, "You pervert! I really don’t understand how your mind, so full of lewd thoughts, can write so many beautiful songs."

Li Yuan shuddered inwardly. He knew how to write lyrics—he’d even done it in his past life—but he could never produce such classics, let alone compose their melodies.

Li Yuan chuckled. "Heh, Mrs. Qi, that’s where you’re mistaken."

"How does that saying go? ’Great talents are often great romantics.’ Since ancient times, has there ever been a gifted man who wasn’t? Think about it. Bai Juyi, Liu Yong, Tang Bohu... and that was just in the old days. There are even more now..."

Qi Siyu burst into laughter. "Hmph, you’re the great talent, so you must be right. How could a simple, weak woman like me ever win an argument against you!"

Li Yuan smirked. "Since you can’t win against me, Mrs. Qi, isn’t it time you put that mouth to use?"

"You big pervert, I’ll bite you to death!" Qi Siyu gave Li Yuan a shy glare. She moved her body with difficulty, wincing as a cold sweat beaded on her brow. Then she slipped under the covers...

Li Yuan suddenly shivered and hissed, his entire body tingling. "Mrs. Qi, you truly are a woman of your word. You said you’d bite, and you actually did!"

"Of course. That’s what you get for bullying me so much..."

"Ah, I guess I’ll just have to enjoy the pain!"

「In the bedroom next door」

Liang Jingjing checked the time. It was already ten in the morning, yet there wasn’t a single sound coming from her best friend’s room.

She muttered to herself, Could they really be spending the whole day in bed ’playing poker’? Don’t they ever get tired? Should I go give them a little surprise?

At the thought, a smile crept onto her lips. Wearing a loose, low-cut nightgown that perfectly showcased her gorgeous figure, she tiptoed to the bathroom. After quickly washing up and applying some delicate makeup, she snuck toward Qi Siyu’s bedroom, ready to give the pair a "big surprise."

Just as Liang Jingjing was about to push the door open, the sound of a guitar melody suddenly came from the bedroom, followed by the sound of Li Yuan gently strumming and humming a song.

Liang Jingjing froze, her hand hovering in midair. She leaned against the door, listening intently to the song Li Yuan was singing, committing every lyric to memory...

...

The sunset stained the playground red, as dusk sprinkled sugar down...

Hey, the glaciers and the islands, did you get to see them?

Did the love of our youth lose out to a simple ’what happened next’?

After that, I never again saw a sunset so beautiful...

When night falls, shadows disappear at the crossing...

But the warmth of your wave still joins me in my dreams...

It’s the evening wind, it’s the river of stars, it’s the song I hum...

It’s the universe’s coordinates, twinkling...

It’s the flowers blooming, the leaves falling, the fireworks soaring...

It’s us, still missing each other, but never meeting again...

Linked to the gentleness of the universe...

...

Is this... is this the song Siyu couldn’t stop thinking about? The full version... it’s just as beautiful and moving as she said. Li Yuan is truly, incredibly talented...

Listening to the slow-tempo song, a look of longing appeared in Liang Jingjing’s eyes. The short song, with its simple lyrics, sketched out a love story that was both romantic and beautiful.

Liang Jingjing murmured to herself, Siyu, I get it now. I understand why you threw yourself into Li Yuan’s arms like a moth to a flame. A tall, handsome, wealthy musical genius like him... it would be unbelievable if you *didn’t* fall for him. In fact, it’s not just you. Most women, myself included, are drawn to such romantic geniuses. Too bad a woman like me doesn’t even have the right to get close!

She glanced toward the bedroom door, an image of the scene inside forming in her mind. Li Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, holding his guitar, his eyes filled with a smiling warmth as he composed and sang a song for Qi Siyu...

Could there be anything more romantic in this world?

Liang Jingjing thought back on her own past experiences and sighed, returning to her bedroom with a heavy heart. She lay on her bed, watching the morning sun scatter dazzling light across the room. The world outside was bright and sunny, but from her perspective, it all seemed harsh and gray.

Before she knew it, crystalline tears began to well in the corners of her eyes, as if mourning a love that had long since died. The few relationships she’d had all ended in failure. And in the foreseeable future, she saw no prospect of finding the kind of love she truly yearned for. Even if she were to throw herself at a womanizer like Li Yuan, he probably wouldn’t even give her a second look...

Am I destined to live the rest of my life in such mediocrity? To find an ordinary man I don’t truly love, force a smile for a lifetime, raise children, and grow old amid quarrels over daily trifles...

As Liang Jingjing’s thoughts spiraled, she suddenly became emotional...

「Back in the bedroom」

Li Yuan put down his guitar and looked at Qi Siyu, who was completely enthralled by the music. He teased her with a smile, "Mrs. Qi, I really have to thank you for your... oral service. See? Inspiration struck immediately. So, what do you think? Are you satisfied with the song?"

Hearing Li Yuan’s words, Qi Siyu was jolted from her beautiful reverie. She snapped back to reality and shot him a fierce glare, huffing softly.
