“You look a lot like that person.” Qi Xia unhurriedly spoke, after a long while.
“Who?” The female singer wondered.
“I don’t know.”
“You’re teasing !”
“I’m not. You looked very similar, but also not.” Qi Xia stared at her face and suddenly stretched out his
hand to cover her eyes.
At that mont, Qi Xia’s heart jumped slightly.
“You look exactly like her, but your eyes are dierent.” Qi Xia suddenly smiled. The gure in his dream
might look just like this. As long as she closed her eyes, it was as if that person had walked out of his
dream.
The bitterness and pain in his heart were nally relieved, but the greater emptiness lled his entire heart.
“Who are you talking about?” The female singer was confused by Qi Xia’s actions.
“I don’t know.” Qi Xia smiled lightly. He wasn’t lying nor teasing her. No matter how he thought and
rembered, he could not nd the na of the person in his mory.
Qi Xia loosened his grip on the female singer’s wrist. He turned to leave without taking another look at her
face.
“The bags of gold coins on the table are all for you.” Qi Xia said.
The female singer did not look at the bags of gold coins on the table, but looked at Qi Xia’s departing back.
For so reason, under the moonlight, the youngster who spoke with laughter earlier had a back full of
loneliness. The light of the moon sprinkled on his gure and made people feel a hand clutching their
hearts.
The female singer suddenly shouted at Qi Xia’s back, “Little Third Qi!”
“Hm?” Qi Xia stopped but did not turn back.
“Will you co back tomorrow?” She asked.
Qi Xia was silent for a mont before shaking his head.
“I won’t co to Qin Music Hall again.”
“Why?”
“There is no reason.”
The female singer sucked her lips.
“Is it because of the person that looks a lot like ?”
Qi Xia remained silent.
“You ca to Qin Music Hall these past few days because you thought my eyes resembled hers, right?”
Qi Xia still did not answer her question.
“Since you said I looked exactly like her, why won’t you co anymore?” The female singer seed to be
searching for an answer. Her voice was as calm as when she sang.
“You look like her, but you’re not her. I don’t know who she is, but when I see you, I am reminded of her. I
seem to rember this person. Your temperant is a little bit like her, but you’re still not her. I found a
trace of her existence from you, but you are not the person I am looking for in the end. Since you are not
her, why should I cling to one with a similar appearance?” Qi Xia’s voice echoed in the silent back garden.
Appearance was just appearance. Qi Xia was very clear that what he cared about was not the outward
form of a person. The female singer was very beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.
But when he really looked at her face closely, he could not ignore the disappointnt in his heart.
Similar temperant, similar appearance, but it was missing the most crucial point.
The brilliance that he was looking for couldn’t be seen in her eyes.
She, after all, was not the person in his dream.
Again, no matter how very much alike they were, this was still not her.
“Are you really not coming anymore?” The female singer asked.
“Yes.”
“I see. Can I ask one last question?” She asked again.
“Sure, do speak.”
“Do you love her? The person who looks very much like .” The female singer’s voice appeared
particularly loud in the quiet garden.
When her voice fell to the ground, Qi Xia’s gure froze in place. Even though he was covered with clothes,
his tense body still showed his nervousness.
“Do you love her?” The female singer’s voice, like a magic spell, hung over Qi Xia’s ears.
