Chapter 318: A Big Change
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The topic of Jia Qing’s poisoning had always brought a heavy atmosphere.
Huo Yunshen thought of a more light-hearted topic. “Jing Xi, my new single is out. Do you want to hear it?”
“Yes, of course, I want to!”
Xu Xiyan’s glossy eyes sparkled brightly, like sunlight on a flowing autumn stream.
Huo Yunshen took out an apnano player and held it out her. Xu Xiyan moved to his side and took it from him, then put the earphones in her ears and switched on the player.
The intro of the song played in the earphones. Xu Xiyan calmed herself down and listened to the music carefully.
The intro was very melodious. It was very nice, and Ni Yun’s familiar and distinct style could be heard in the melody.
“Vaguely remembering your charming eyes, bright as the most beautiful stars in the night sky, the gentlest is your hand, lighting the way out of the darkness…”
The intro of the song ended. Back when the first sentence was sung, Xu Xiyan had felt shivers in her body.
The ethereal-like music and his low magnetic voice were extremely pure and natural. There was an indescribable feeling, like an electric current that instantly flowed to her limbs. Her body trembled with excitement.
Nice!
His new single is really nice!
It was really a good song. Xu Xiyan couldn’t help but feel a strong urge to share it with others.
“It’s really nice. Let’s listen to it together.”
Without thinking much, Xu Xiyan put one of the earphones directly into Huo Yunshen’s ear.
Huo Yunshen froze when her fingertips lightly brushed his earlobe. When he had returned to his senses, the familiar melody was already playing in his ear.
Xu Xiyan leaned on the armrest of the sofa. In order to not pull onto the cord of the earphones, she had leaned very close to Huo Yunshen.
They were very close to each other. From a certain point of view, it looked like Xu Xiyan was leaning herself on Huo Yunshen’s thighs.
The scene was heartwarming and beautiful. Huo Yunshen stared at the cute little hair whorl on top of Xu Xiyan’s head. He did not dare to move an inch and even controlled his breathing for fear of ruining the tranquility of the moment.
The player continued to play Huo Yunshen’s magnetic yet gentle baritone voice.
“No starlight is as dazzling as you. Without your light the world is no longer beautiful. You came into my life, dissipating even the iciest haze…”
“I am willing to stand behind you, accompany you to see all the fireworks in the world. Huoxu, you are the belief that I insist on.”
“Huoxu. We will not necessarily have results. But still I chose to wait for you…”
After listening to the whole song, Xu Xiyan was enchanted by the beautiful mood the song had created. She had even forgotten to pause it and the song replayed.
Xu Xiyan could hear that there was a big change to Huo Yunshen’s style compared to his past work.
When singing the song “Huoxu,” his voice was sexier and more gorgeous. It was full of affection, sometimes mature and elegant, and sometimes lazy and idyllic.
His bass was vast and deep and his tenor was gravelly and moving. His versatile voice was able to reach into people’s soul.
After listening to the song twice, Xu Xiyan pressed the pause button and removed her earphone. She asked, “Mr. Huo, is your new song called ‘Huoxu’?”
“You could tell?” Huo Yunshen pursed his lips into a smile.
“Yeah, just guessing. Your song is really good. I bet after it’s released, it will win an award. I would be surprised if it didn’t.
Xu Xiyan had repeatedly heard the word “Huoxu” in the song, so she had guessed that it was the name of the song. She didn’t expect that she would get it right.
But she had not given it much thought. If she had listened to it more carefully, she would have discovered that the word “Huoxu,” which means “maybe,” was also a homonym, created using Huo Yunshen and Xu Xiyan’s first names.
“I hope you’re right.”
Huo Yunshen was very happy. He felt that Xu Xiyan’s words of affirmation and praise were way better than any award.
