Gu Ren had explained that only the girl named Ye Chu could come in through the single passage. However, things did not play out as he expected.
At the other end, when Ye Zhi entered the stage, she had already missed the first performance.
She was flustered and didn’t know that Gu Ren had reserved a passage for herself.
During this concert, the surrounding fans were screaming loudly, and amidst the noisy sound, Ye Zhi’s eyes fell on the big screen.
She saw Gu Ren. His temperament was as cold as a fir tree with his tall frame and his eyes were full of icy colours.
Gu Ren walked to the piano and didn’t say a word. He was very silent, as if there was a shadow around him.
In this world, the winter they were familiar with had arrived again.
The man on the stage was sitting in front of the piano. He held a black cloth in his hand, wrapped his long and pale fingers behind his ears before tying the cloth.
The black cloth covered Gu Ren’s eyes and all of the lights at the concert disappeared. His eyes fell into darkness again.
The days of being blind in the previous life and the long-term night blindness in his later life had made Gu Ren accustomed to the dark, so his fingers groped the keys accurately even in the abyss devoid of light.
Gu Ren’s senses were very keen, and now, every subtle sound was very clear to him.
Amidst the darkness, fine specks of snow began to fall on the stage, and Gu Ren, who was wearing a black suit, was under a hazy layer of smoke.
Ye Zhi felt that Gu Ren was clearly very close to her, and yet, he was so far away. They were separated merely by the distance of a stage, but he couldn’t recognise her face.
Ye Zhi wanted to tell Gu Ren that she was right here and could hear every word and every move he made.
But could he hear her?
Gu Ren’s fingers gently landed on the keys and what Ye Zhi once said rang out in his ears.
“It doesn’t matter if your eyes can’t see, your other senses will be amplified, such as hearing.”
Gu Ren had his intuition. Because he missed her too much, he could feel that Ye Zhi seemed to be very close to him.
The stage was gradually covered with snow and the world became as white as the day he met her.
It was snowing heavily outside the concert and it was snowing on the stage, so it seemed like the two worlds were being subtly combined.
Amidst the silence of the sky, Gu Ren’s clear and clean voice sounded, as if passing through the silent snow and pouring straight into Ye Zhi’s ears.
“This song is for my fiancé.”
Ye Zhi’s heart skipped a beat and it started to beat like a drum, her vision gradually blurring.
Gu Ren continued to speak and he seriously repeated the promise he made back then, “I promised her that no matter where I am, I will always be by her side.”
His thin lips moved slightly and he said something that only they could understand, “Even if we get lost occasionally, I will try my best to find you.”
Ye Zhi’s eyes were hot and tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably. She was fortunate enough to see him again, but she felt sad again and her small sorrows were pervasive.
I am here.
Gu Ren, can you see me?
The auditorium was dark, so only a beam of light from the stage shone upon Gu Ren’s side profile.
The snow on the stage kept falling, draping onto Gu Ren’s shoulders. The snowflakes were cold and white as the frost reflected against Gu Ren’s clear facial features.
Ye Zhi watched Gu Ren’s every move and etched the sight in her heart. The joy of reuniting after a long absence made her dare not even blink.
