I Fell In Love With Qing Leng Xue Shen Chapter 23
byChapter 23 The truth is true
The spotlight on the stage gently wrapped around Xie Shuhan, completely isolating him from the hustle and bustle of the audience.
Xie Shuhan stood there, his figure as tall as a pine tree, and the hem of his white shirt swayed gently with the subtle airflow, outlining his smooth waistline.
The applause from the audience gradually subsided, and the whole place fell into extreme silence. Everyone’s eyes were focused on this cold young man, and they even breathed softly subconsciously, for fear of disturbing the upcoming singing.
Xie Shuhan lowered his eyes slightly and slowly brushed the microphone pole with his slender fingers.
The temperature of his fingertips touched the cold metal, leaving a faint trace. His movements were gentle and slow.
Lu Jin in the audience held his breath, his eyes firmly locked on his hand.
The smooth wrists and well-jointed fingers glowed faintly under the light, giving him the illusion that he couldn’t take his eyes away.
He suddenly remembered how Xie Shuhan looked like holding a pen on weekdays. He was also so slender and good-looking, but now he was a little more alienated and focused on the stage.
Zhou Yan sat aside, with his hands folded on his knees, his eyes falling gently on Xie Shuhan, with a trace of imperceptible inquiry in his eyes.
He has known Xie Shuhan for so long, but he has never seen him look like this. There is a broken beauty in the coldness, like fragile crystal, which makes people want to get closer, but they are afraid of disturbing him.
At this moment, the accompaniment of “The Truth Is True” slowly flowed out.
At first, there was a soft piano sound, like moonlight shining on a calm lake, causing ripples. Then a touch of string music was added. The melody was gentle but with a hint of lingering melancholy, which instantly deepened the atmosphere of the scene.
Xie Shuhan slowly raised his head, his lips came close to the microphone, and a cold and distant voice came out.
The voice was different from the usual indifference, and it did not have the strong hoarseness left by a cold. Instead, it had a unique magnetism, like the cold wind in winter, which was refreshing yet intoxicating.
Every word was spoken clearly and powerfully, but with a kind of careless detachment, as if he was telling someone else’s story or narrating his own thoughts.
“In my boyhood without the bustling red carpet, if it weren’t for him, how would I have gone through life without being famous?”
As soon as the lyrics fell, the audience was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Xie Shuhan’s eyes swept across the audience calmly, but with a power that penetrated people’s hearts.
The tenderness and regret hidden deep in the eyes are like fine raindrops, gently falling on everyone’s heart.
Lu Jin sat in the front row and heard it most clearly.
This lyric was like a key, instantly opening a corner of his heart, making him feel a faint ache in his heart.
He thought again of the unknown person in Xie Shuhan’s heart, the person whom Xie Shuhan placed on the top of his heart and regarded as his salvation.
In those difficult years when his name was unknown and no one knew about him, Xie Shuhan would have been so lonely without that person’s company.
He looked at Xie Shuhan on the stage, cold and noble. The lights stretched his figure and projected it on the background board, making him appear so far away.
Lu Jin suddenly felt that he had never really entered Xie Shuhan’s world. He didn’t know Xie Shuhan’s past, what he had experienced, and he didn’t know who “he” was.
Xie Shuhan’s singing continued, and his voice gradually blended into the melody, adding a bit of tenderness to the coldness.
“The so-called evidence of tenderness that has been spied on is actually only one ten thousandth. There are more romantic secrets in uninhabited corners.”
His eyes softened slightly, as if he was recalling the secrets hidden in time, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, but with a hint of indescribable bitterness.
The lights on the stage gradually dimmed, leaving only a spotlight following him closely, outlining his profile more and more clearly.
The long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under the eyelids. The emotions under the eyes are complex and deep, including tenderness, regret, and the pain of not being able to love. At this moment, they are exposed to everyone without reservation, which makes people feel heartbroken.
Some girls in the audience quietly had red eyes, and the boys also looked solemn. Their minds were completely attracted by the singing, and their emotions rose and fell with Xie Shuhan.
As Lu Jin listened to the lyrics, his heart felt as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible hand, causing intense pain.
He suddenly felt that Xie Shuhan was not singing. He was clearly telling his own story.
Who is that lucky person…who can make Xie Shuhan so affectionate and unforgettable?
Looking at Xie Shuhan on the stage, he felt a surge of sadness in his heart and his eyes were slightly warm.
“I also want to declare my love with my mouth, and I always feel lucky about the future. I hope that I can get the permission of the world and call his name openly before saying my love…”
When he sang this line, Xie Shuhan’s voice rose slightly, with a subtle tremor, as if the emotions that had been accumulated for a long time finally found an outlet.
His eyes moved slowly and finally settled on a certain direction in the first row, where Lu Jin was.
At this moment, his eyes were no longer calm and distant as usual, but full of hot and strong emotions, like a burning flame that wanted to burn the person in front of him, or like a raging tide that wanted to drown the person in front of him.
There was deep affection, longing, unwillingness, and a hint of humility that even he himself was unaware of.
However, Lu Jin was immersed in Xie Shuhan’s voice and the sorrow in his heart at the moment, and did not notice the fiery gaze at all.
He lowered his head and dug his fingers on the armrests of the seat unconsciously. His mind was full of Xie Shuhan’s unlovable appearance, and the pain in his heart became more intense.
He was even thinking that if Xie Shuhan could be happy, even if the person who gave him happiness was not him, he would still be willing to bless him.
“I have really missed him and loved to see his back…”
Xie Shuhan’s voice gradually became deeper and deeper, with a hint of choking, as if he was suppressing great sadness.
Under the light, there was a faint sparkle in his eyes. They were tears that were about to fall, but he held them back and refused to let others see them.
He raised his head slightly and cast his gaze towards the distant sky, as if recalling how many times he had silently watched that person’s back over the years, from youthful to mature, from close to far away.
Every thought, every gaze, is transformed into a thousand words in the song at this moment.
When Lu Jin heard this, he could no longer hold back. Hot tears fell from the corners of his eyes and dripped on the back of his hands, causing a burning pain.
He finally intuitively felt Xie Shuhan’s love, which was deep and strong, like mellow wine, intoxicating but also suffocating.
However, this love is for the unknown person in his heart and has nothing to do with him.
He bit his lips tightly to prevent himself from making a sound, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he swallowed all the sadness and unwillingness into his stomach.
Yu Yifan, who was sitting next to him, noticed something strange about him and quietly turned his head to take a look. Seeing his face full of tears, he sighed secretly.
He knew how Lu Jin was feeling at the moment. It must be uncomfortable to feel that he is deeply in love but knows that the other person does not have him in his heart.
He wanted to comfort him, but he didn’t know what to say. He could only pat him on the shoulder and give him silent support.
Zhou Yan’s eyes also stayed on Xie Shuhan. The smile on his face had long since disappeared, replaced by a complicated expression.
He could hear the deep affection and pain in Xie Shuhan’s singing, and he could also feel the helplessness of not being able to love.
Does Xie Shuhan have someone he likes?
When the last note fell, Xie Shuhan’s voice gradually dissipated in the air, and the lights on the stage still illuminated him gently.
The scene fell into extreme silence, and everyone was still immersed in the emotions brought by Xie Shuhan’s singing, unable to extricate themselves.
After a few seconds, I don’t know who reacted first and applauded first. Then, thunderous applause broke out instantly and resounded throughout the hall.
Many audience members stood up, applauding and wiping their tears, and kept shouting the name “Xie Shuhan”.
Xie Shuhan lowered his head slightly, his movements were still elegant, but there was a bit more fatigue between his brows after experiencing emotional catharsis.
