Although he had known that Across the Starry Sky would be the beginning of her artistic career, Harrison Clark didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.
He thought of the impact this song had on Avril Green’s life in the last tiline, feeling a bit emotional.
In three years, she would completely break from her family and take the path of a pioneering rock star, embarking on a life she otherwise wouldn’t have.
In fact, she was already awakening, but it wouldn’t be until three years later that she would break through and have a surge of creativity, going through many hardships and struggles in the process.
“I wrote another song for you this ti. It’s different from the style of Across the Starry Sky, but I think it suits your voice well,” Harrison inford Avril.
Avril’s interest piqued, she asked, “What’s the song called?”
Harrison: “Continue in the Next Life.”
Avril was stunned.
The most terrifying thing was the sudden silence in the air.
Clever people think quickly, especially when filling in the blanks.
She wasn’t sure if Harrison had discovered sothing, or if the title ant what she suspected.
She felt a bit wronged.
The truth was that from the beginning, she never intended to fight for anything, yet things began to change gradually.
This strange feeling erged, and she couldn’t pinpoint exactly when it started.
The first ti she saw this introverted yet bold young man with clear eyes at the company, she was slightly curious, wondering what kind of music soone like him could create.
Then there was indescribable astonishnt, followed by her loss due to the incompatibility of their styles, and her recomndation for him to work with Leah Clark.
Likewise, she misinterpreted his frequent female perspective songs, running into small misunderstandings that beca comical anecdotes when recalled.
After that, it was her own birthday party where she watched Harrison, a commoner, stand up for Carrie Thomas against Eric Mitchell.
And then there was the night where he wrote six songs in one breath, showing his astounding talent.
Avril thought this would be the end, but Harrison’s abilities were just beginning to unfold.
She gradually got used to watching from afar, indirectly asking about his news, secretly listening to and repeatedly singing the songs he wrote, and helping him whenever possible – all that was enough for her.
Avril had gotten everything she wanted in life too easily, so she never thought of actively fighting for anything.
Having never tried to strive for sothing, she developed the habit of giving in when faced with challenges.
Although her personality was assertive, she was actually quite passive.
She also knew that with her family background, love and marriage had little to do with each other.
Since she was young, observing her seemingly perfect but distant parents’ conversation, she understood the rest of her life.
When she told Harrison “I wish you a happy life together,” she had silently made up her mind not to disturb the couple.
She didn’t want to lose Carrie, her like-minded friend, and she didn’t want to trouble Harrison.
Of course, Avril knew Harrison’s character; he probably wouldn’t be too troubled and would simply reject her straightforwardly.
She was aware of Harrison’s deliberate distancing over the past few days—how could she not understand?
She even knew the reason for it.
But since she never harbored any extravagant hopes from the start, she learned to be strong.
As a result, she was able to control her emotions well and still appear as the close yet appropriately distant, refined lady from a well-known family.
She always seed approachable, but never too close, striking a perfect balance.
However, if you were to ask her if she regrets seeking help from the Capital, her answer would be three words: “No regrets.”
But despite being prepared for anything, Avril still felt a bit faint and unsteady when Harrison revealed the na of the song, Continue in the Next Life.
The most powerless feeling was that she didn’t even have the right to bla him for his coldness and indifference.
But after all, she was Avril, accustod to self-control. Her sense of helplessness lasted less than three seconds, before she quickly adjusted.
Avril smiled, “It sounds like a heartfelt love song, doesn’t it?”
Harrison nodded, “Yes. The depth of this song is on par with Across the Starry Sky. Of course, what level it will be sung at is still hard to say.”
“Let see the lyrics and sheet music. If it’s suitable for , I’ll sing it. Otherwise, never mind,” she said.
“Okay.” Harrison handed her a brand-new notebook.
An hour later, Avril closed the notebook and shut her eyes.
After a full ten minutes, she opened her eyes. “I’ll take the song.”
Harrison: “That’s good.”
Avril: “I’m not sure the feeling you’re expecting, but I believe that I will do it justice.”
Harrison laughed, “I believe in your ability.”
“The song feels a bit sad, but there’s a sense of extraordinary, carefree liberation in it. It gives the feeling of letting go to gain sothing.”
Avril gently stroked the notebook, a serene smile on her face, seeming sowhat intoxicated.
In truth, she still hadn’t said everything.
This female-perspective song also contained hints of Carrie, yet was Harrison’s kindest reminder for her.
The song’s title reminded her of a Buddhist verse, “Bodhi has no tree, the bright mirror has no stand. Originally there is not a single thing, where can dust alight?”
Suddenly, Avril seed to have an epiphany.
Harrison didn’t owe her anything.
He never did anything to hurt her.
She didn’t owe him anything either.
But relationships between n and won encompass friendship as well, beyond romance.
