Chapter One Hundred and Ten: You Are the Song Within My Heart!
On the concert stage, Jiang Yun stood at center stage and said, “The title of the new song is ‘You Are a Song in My Heart’!”
“Oho, that title sounds lovely!”
“Lovely +1”
“Lovely +10086”
The music began to rise slowly, soft and tender.
Jiang Yun sang softly, “You are a song in my heart, a blossom opening within me.”
The instant he began, the crowd was utterly floored.
“So beautiful!”
“So gentle. Is this a love song?”
“Seems like a duet. Is he singing it with Zhou Lun?”
“Whoa, the imagination above is wild. Such a gentle love song, sung with Zhou Lun? That scene would be too gorgeous for words!”
“Jiang Yun and Zhou Lun singing a love duet? I can’t even look at that image!”
“Your imaginations are way too wild. If Jiang Yun really sang a love duet with Zhou Lun, I’d believe tomorrow’s headline would be about the two of them.”
At the venue, a beautiful female voice suddenly rang out: “You are a song in my life, memories flowing together into a river.”
The audience at the scene, and the viewers watching the livestream, all froze.
“What? What’s going on? Sounds like a woman!”
“It’s actually a woman?!”
Li Mengya stepped onto the stage in a dark blue dress, elegant and poised.
“Wow, my eyes! It’s Li Mengya!”
“It’s not Zhou Lun!”
“Li Mengya! Li Mengya!”
The audience shouted her name fervently.
Li Mengya reached the stage and exchanged a sweet look with Jiang Yun.
With the microphone in hand, Jiang Yun sang tenderly, “A song lingering in my heart, don’t be merely a passing guest.”
Through the empty air, Jiang Yun shaped a heart toward Li Mengya.
Li Mengya lowered her head, pretending to be shy.
Then she sang sweetly, “Leave a song in my life, no matter how the ending turns out.”
...
“Oho, this is killing me with sweetness!”
“Wow, sweeter than salt from 1982!”
“So sweet it could give you cavities!”
“+1”
“+10086”
Jiang Yun held the microphone in his left hand and swept his right arm up. “Come on, everyone!”
The audience spontaneously sang along: “You are a song in my heart!”
The concert venue erupted into a chorus of thousands.
“A blossom opening within me!”
Jiang Yun and Li Mengya drew close, gazed at each other sweetly, and held hands as they sang, “A song lingering in my heart, don’t be merely a passing guest...”
The place burst into waves of cheers that lasted a full minute.
“These two are sweet enough to make me sick!”
“I’m sick from the sweetness too!”
“+1”
After the duet ended, Tian Zhen walked onto the stage and said, “Thank you, little brother Jiang Yun, and little sister Mengya, for that wonderful performance!”
“Dear fans, the concert ends here. Please line up and leave in an orderly manner!”
“What? So soon?” The fans of Tian Zhen all looked crestfallen.
After the concert, Tian Zhen took Jiang Yun, Wang Feng, and Li Mengya out for a meal at Red Romance Barbecue House.
That evening, Jiang Yun drove Li Mengya back to Ocean View Gardens.
Li Mengya used her fingerprint to unlock the door.
She bent down to change into slippers, while Jiang Yun strode straight into the room.
“Why don’t you change your slippers?”
Jiang Yun rolled his eyes. “You don’t even have men’s slippers here. Every time I wear yours, my feet hurt.”
“You still have to change!”
“Fine, fine. I’ll change. Is that okay?”
Jiang Yun slipped into Li Mengya’s pink slippers and awkwardly shuffled about the living room.
“What are we eating tonight?” Jiang Yun asked.
“Let’s order takeout!”
“Order takeout? Forget it, I’ll cook.”
“No, just order takeout. You’re starting work tomorrow, so rest a little more!”
“I didn’t know you could be this considerate,” Jiang Yun teased.
“Now you know!”
Li Mengya took out her phone and ordered hot pot, then waited patiently.
Jiang Yun took out his phone and sent Li Lulu a WeChat message with the location.
A little later, someone knocked at the door. Jiang Yun went over and opened it.
“Hello! Your hot pot delivery!”
“Mengya, your hot pot!”
Li Mengya came out of the bedroom and went to the door to sign for it.
The delivery worker entered the room and neatly set out the hot pot and ingredients.
“Enjoy your meal, and please leave a five-star review!”
Li Mengya nodded.
After the delivery worker left the room and reached a corner, he muttered, “Damn, isn’t that Jiang Yun and Li Mengya? Could the rumors be true?”
...
Jiang Yun and Li Mengya began eating hot pot.
Li Mengya took out a bottle of red wine. “Jiang Yun, want a drink?”
“I only drink strong liquor.”
“You really are something, aren’t you?”
Jiang Yun froze for a moment. Li Mengya was actually daring enough to mock herself like that—she was ruining her image!
Li Mengya sat by the table, poured herself a glass of red wine, and began drinking on her own.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
As the two were eating, a knock sounded outside.
“Who is it?” Li Mengya started to get up.
Jiang Yun stopped her. “I’ll get it. It might be Li Lulu.”
Jiang Yun walked to the door and opened it. Sure enough, it was Li Lulu.
“Boss, so this is where you’ve been flirting around.”
Jiang Yun rolled his eyes.
“Boss, the luggage you asked me to pack.” Li Lulu handed the suitcase to Jiang Yun.
“Good.” Jiang Yun took it. “Go back and rest early.”
“Okay, boss!”
Li Lulu turned and left.
Jiang Yun dragged the suitcase into the room.
Li Mengya carried a set of bedding to the sofa and spread it out neatly for Jiang Yun.
After showering, Jiang Yun came out of the bathroom, went to the sofa, and collapsed into sleep.
Midnight.
A message quietly rose onto the trending list.
The next morning.
Jiang Yun was sleeping soundly on the sofa.
Li Mengya came over to him.
“Jiang Yun? Jiang Yun?”
Jiang Yun opened his eyes groggily. “What is it? It’s early in the morning.”
“Jiang Yun, look, we’re trending!”
Jiang Yun rolled his eyes. “What’s so great about trending?”
Li Mengya imitated him and rolled her eyes too. “You trend every few days. Of course you’re not surprised.”
Jiang Yun rubbed his nose. “What’s going on? Let me see.”
Li Mengya handed him her phone.
“Oh, I thought it was something serious. So the video from last night’s concert got out?”
Li Mengya ignored him outright. Jiang Yun’s attitude, as though being on the trending list was nothing at all, was truly infuriating.
Jiang Yun scrolled through the phone and looked at the comments.
“Jiang Yun and Li Mengya’s love duet is so sweet it melted me!”
“This song is really wonderful. When will the audio version be released?”
“Is this an official announcement?”
Jiang Yun looked at that comment and replied, “Yes.”
The instant he did, the comments section exploded.
“Holy crap, Jiang Yun actually replied!”
“Oh my god, what does Jiang Yun mean by that?”
“Above, are you dazed? Jiang Yun made it perfectly clear. What do you mean, what does it mean?”
However, the post only stayed up for a moment before Jiang Yun deleted it.
If Li Mengya saw it, that would be bad. She might even be upset with him.
Jiang Yun began making breakfast, since he would be flying to Hengdian soon.
He still had to film on set in the afternoon.
He had packed his schedule to the brim.
After breakfast, Jiang Yun and Li Mengya sat together for a while longer.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to the airport.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Yun pulled along the suitcase. Li Mengya put on her mask and sunglasses, and the two of them headed to the underground parking garage.
Li Mengya opened the car door, and Jiang Yun got in.
The yellow Beetle slowly drove away...
