The autumn breeze was refreshing.
A fallen leaf drifted into the window and fell onto her hair.
Her fingers were slender, snow-white. She wasnât wearing any accessories, yet those hands were still pretty.
Mo Liuxi gazed at her; his eyes sparkled.
On such an afternoon, hearing her singing, while sunlight poured on the floor, Mo Liuxi felt that his serene heart was plucked along with the strings.
It was peaceful and beautiful.
Sadly, the second half of the song was incomplete. Yan Su couldnât finish the music, but raised her head and said to him, âI havenât composed the rest of the song yet.â Her cheeks were slightly red.
âDo you need to compose the music too?â Mo Liuxi knocked his lap with his slender fingers while asking the question.
He didnât hear Li Ming mention that. Li Ming shouldnât be so hard on the singers.
âNo. I tried to compose the music, since I have written the lyrics,â said Yan Su with a soft voice. âEven if Director Li doesnât pick me, I can make some small changes and make it a new song of mine.â
âYou composed the music all alone?â Mo Liuxi was surprised. He had no experience in the music industry yet, but he knew that composing a song was not easy. Many young singers didnât know how to compose these days. Most of them had teams doing it for them.
She created such a beautiful song all by herself, meaning that she was talented indeed. It also meant that as a singer, she was outstanding in many ways.
âYeah.â Yan Su nodded. âMy team makes good music, but I prefer to do it myself. Do you think Li Ming will like it?â
âHow am I supposed to know? Iâm not him,â Mo Liuxi said. Then, he noticed the disappointment in her eyes.
âBut...â he slightly moved his delicate thin lips, and continued, âI think some parts in this song are a little too high-pitched. In fact, you donât need to emphasize the treble. Itâs not what touches people. Whatâs more important is that you want your music to resonate among other people, donât you? Iâve listened to your songs. Itâs a little hard for some other people to sing those songs. If you made them a little easier to sing, more people will want to sing your songs in karaoke clubs, when the movie becomes popular. That will be a new source of income, and itâll also help to build your fame.â
Yan Su paused briefly, pondering over his words. He seemed to be right. Earlier, her team had talked to her about that too. âWhich part do you think needs to be lower?â
Mo Liuxi walked to her side and bent over to look at her notebook. He pointed at one line of the lyrics and said, âHere.â
âYou have such good memory. You only listened to it one time, yet you have already memorized it.â Yan Su responded with surprise.
Mo Liuxi was happy to be complimented by her. People always complimented him, and he normally ignored the compliments. However, it felt nice when those nice words came out of her mouth.
âIâm a director. I surely have a good memory.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âCheck the lower-pitched version then.â Yan Su picked up the guitar.
Mo Liuxi closed his eyes to feel the music carefully. âIt doesnât need to go that low.â
Yan Su adjusted the music again.
He was listening, while she was trying to perfect the music.
More and more classmates walked past the room, as the class was about to begin.
âItâs about time for class.â Yan Su put down the guitar and stood up.
âEh.â Mo Liuxi glanced at the leaf which was lying on her hair the whole time. Abruptly, he reached a hand toward her hair.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Yan Su raised her head and saw the boyâs velvet-like, soft hair and eyelashes in the sunlight. His dark eyes sparkled like stars. She could even see her reflection in his eyes.
Mo Liuxi slightly turned and looked straight into her black, shining eyes.
