The melody of Girl In the Sea sounded in the night, surprising Pei Ying.

She’d been listening to this song for many years, but this was her first time hearing it live. Song Nanchuan stood on the beach, keeping count with his foot. The smell of the sea was infused in the air.

There was no place more suitable than here to perform this song.

Pei Ying was completely immersed in the atmosphere, the poetic sound enchanting her.

Song Nanchuan was also absorbed in his performance, and the silver moonlight landed on his body, as if it were shining for him. Outlined in the moonlight, his blinking eyelashes, the beauty mark beneath his left eye… Everything looked like a slow-motion, close-up movie scene, unfolding before Pei Ying.

At the seaside, with the sound of the violin, being together with the man she loved… The image was something that Pei Ying would remember for a lifetime.

For some reason, she suddenly felt like dancing. She took off her high heels and walked over to the water. Pointing her toes, she started dancing.

She performed the dance she’d practiced for her audition for Dancing In the Bright Sunlight. She’d spent a week learning the dance, but in the end, she wasn’t able to perform it for an audience.

Even though this wasn’t the right kind of music, her dance seemed to match well with Song Nanchuan’s playing. The cold sea water washed over her toes and wet her dress. But she didn’t care.

At this moment, she only wanted to dance under the cold, clear moonlight.

Three minutes later, the melody for Girl In the Seafinished, and Pei Ying’s dance came to a stop with the song. The two of them remained silent, neither quite coming to yet. After a time, Song Nanchuan put down his violin and turned to Pei Ying. He smiled and said, “I offer this song, Girl In the Sea, to my beloved lady, Pei Ying.”

Pei Ying returned his smile and laughed. She said, “And I offer this dance, Dancing In the Bright Moonlight, to my beloved sir, Song Nanchuan.”

Song Nanchuan’s smile grew deeper. He extended his arms and wrapped them around Pei Ying’s slender waist. In a soft voice, he asked, “Since we’re so in love, do you think it’s time to make things official?”

Pei Ying was startled once more. Seeing her confusion, he couldn’t help tensing up. “Didn’t you once say that you would marry whoever performed a violin rendition of Girl In the Sea for you? Don’t you dare back out of your promise.”

Like the stars in the sky, his eyes glistened, reflecting her image.

Pei Ying’s lips turned up. She asked him, “You can play violin? I thought you only knew how to play the piano?”

This question seemed to anger Song Nanchuan slightly. “I went to learn from Qiao Yichen.”

Pei Ying’s mouth dropped in surprise. How many times had Pei Ying been put into shock this evening?

Song Nanchuan said, “I don’t know how you were able to endure it. When he was teaching me to play the violin, there were countless times that I wanted to make GuangChen Records go bankrupt.”

“…So, how did you end up enduring it?” Since GuangChen was still going strong now.

“I decided that I should at least wait until I learned to play the violin before making his company go bankrupt.”

“….” Pei Ying was silent for a moment. “And then what?”

“And then?” Song Nanchuan looked at her. “Then, I learned how to play the violin. And since I was so happy, I decided to let him off the hook this time.”
