Chapter 83: Bitter Sweet First Love

"Ms. Han Xiu Nan, please enter the stage." The assistant called the leader of the three women.

As Han Xiu Nan was about to enter the stage and passed in front of Li Lian, she shot a cold glare in annoyance.

-'You are getting over all of your head, newbie!!'

Xie Hue Lin who has been stealing glances at Li Lian couldn't miss the intense glaring from Han Xiu Nan and gave a grin. 'It seems I have found another comrade.'

---

Minutes passed and finally the turn of everyone who waited for Li Lian to make her performance came.

"Ms. Yue Li Lian, please enter the stage." The assistant called her name.

Li Lian nodded and stood with her eye-catching charm and thanked the assistant for calling her name with a gentle smile. "Thank you."

"Er..." The assistant who was charmed by her smile flustered and nodded. "Y-Y-Your welcome."

Qing Jiang Mei who has been wearing a sour expression from the other auditioner's boring performance lit up as he heard Li Lian's name was called.

As she arrived at the stage, Li Lian gave a polite bow toward the judges and audiences before lightly cleared her throat.

"Ms. Yue Li Lian, please start from line 4-18" Qing Jiang Mei spoke.

Xie Hue Lin's eyes twitched. '4-18? When u was my turn, he only told me to sing until line 12... Why is he giving her more time to perform? Ah... Is Qing Jiang Mei possibly one of her 'Backers'...? What a wh*re...' Xie Hue Lin sharply commented.

"I understand, please take care of me." Li Lian answered.

For a moment, Li Lian closed her eyes and the next time she opened her eyes.

A twinkling yet sad eye sparkled through her face, making her expression mellow and enchanting.

[Here you are, under the daydream sky.

The perfection of the night, the manifestation of the light.

You alone, standing under the moonlight.

Lonely yet perfect.

The sky seemed to melt.

Take me away.

With you, take me away.

Once again, the moon beside the night sky.

Whenever I gaze at you- my heart was in a state of bewilderment.

When one time the sky become one, I would like to stay with you.

Not perfect yet so lovely.

Hiding from the gaze of the moon, I'll leave my feelings here for you.

Don't fade, stay with me.

Before the morning came, please stay by my side.

The moon beside the night sky, please.

Only this time, please grant my wish and take me away.

And let me shut off these feelings before this sweetness engulfed me.

And wake me up.

Take me away with you.

Take me away.

Oh, moon beside the night sky.

How beautiful yet shattering.]

The hall became silent as Li Lian's voice mellowly echoed through the room. Eyes filled with unconditional love that was clouded with guilt.

A sorrowful thought was hidden behind the sweet tune.

Even as Li Lian finished her song, no one move for even an inch, their eyes were unmistakably taken into the meaning behind her fragile voice.

'Yes!! This is it!! This is what I wanted this song to mean!' Qing Jiang Mei excitedly stood from his chair and abruptly clapped his hand, bringing an end to the people's reverie.

Following Qing Jiang Mei's clap, everyone also gave a round of applause.

They couldn't hide their desire in wanting to hear more of Li Lian's singing and, shouted.

"Please continue!!"

"No!! Please sing from the start!!"

"Why did the judges stop it there!!"

"Ms. Yue!! Please continue!!!"

At first, they couldn't understand why Qing Jiang Mei told Li Lian to sing more lines. However, after hearing her singing voice, she could very understand his reason!!

Her voice is too beautiful that even they want more!!!!

Even the judges want Li Lian to continue her singing.

On the seat of the audience, Xie Hue Lin and Han Xiu Nan couldn't restrain themself and was also amazed by her singing.

It was almost as if they have just seen the perfect image of Song Ru's feelings when she first saw Wei Shuen.

Clicking her tongue, Xie Hue Lin avoided her eyes from Li Lian's almost blinding figure. The shadow of Li Lian always chases her everywhere.

The perfect older sister without a single flaw.

He Chang Min's eyes fastened from her singing voice. Gently, his eyes almost looked sorrow for a moment. -'Lian-Lian, your voice is as beautiful as always... Always endearing and lingering.'
