Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
âNothing,â Yang Ming shook his head in a self-deprecating manner. âYou donât understand what these two words mean to meâŠâ
â Ah âŠâ Shu Ya was shocked and a sense of happiness crept into her heart. Could it be⊠he hasnât forgotten me? Shu Ya was excited and she was about to probe again, but a callerâs ringtone came in.
âIâm sorry. I have a callâŠâ Yang Ming smiled. He picked up the Bluetooth headset, put it on, and then pressed the answer b.u.t.ton. âh.e.l.lo.â
âYang Ming, where are you?â Chen Mengyanâs voice came from the phone.
â Hehe , itâs Mengyan. Iâm outside doing something. Why? Is there something the matter?â Yang Ming asked.
âDo you know about Shu Ya holding a concert in Song Jiang?â Chen Mengyan said, âI heard that Uncle Yangâs group is hosting the concert.â
âThat is rightâŠâ Yang Ming glanced at Shu Ya next to him and said, âWhy? Do you want me to ask for an autograph for you?â
âIf there are signed CDs, then help me get one, hehe .â Chen Mengyan smiled craftily and said, âI just wanted you to get two tickets for the concert. I didnât expect that you still can get signed CDs!â
âNo problem. Itâs on me,â said Yang Ming. âI will call you again tonight.â
Hanging up the phone, Yang Ming smiled at Shu Ya and said, âMy girlfriend is your fan. She wants me to help her get your autographed CD.â
As for the tickets to the concert, Ming Yang Group was the organizer. Naturally, he could get as many as he wanted. Even VIP tickets wouldnât be a problem.
â Ah !â Shu Ya heard that Yang Ming was calling her girlfriend. She felt quite uncomfortable deep down in her heart and she was a little lost.
âWhatâs wrong? Donât you want to give it to me?â When Yang Ming saw that Shu Ya didnât respond, he was annoyed. He thought that she wasnât willing to give it to him. At least, I saved your life, right? Why is it so difficult for you to give me a signed CD?
âNo⊠notâŠâ Shu Ya regained her consciousness and smiled very unnaturally. âOf course, I can⊠I will give it to you right nowâŠâ
Shu Ya had quite a number of social interactions every day. There were many people who asked a request similar to Yang Mingâs, so Shu Ya usually brought a few signed CDs in the bag.
As the conversation proceeded, Shu Ya opened her handbag and took out some of the latest alb.u.ms from it.
âYou have so many of them.â Yang Ming glanced at the alb.u.ms in Shu Yaâs hands, and then took them all. He said, âGive me all of them. Probably, there will be a lot of people who would want a CD from me.â
â Ugh âŠâ Shu Ya didnât think that Yang Ming was so overbearing. All of a sudden, he took them all for himself! However, she didnât say anything but shook her head helplessly. âOkayâŠâ
Yang Ming was a little annoyed at Shu Ya for not talking so he took a little revenge. He felt that he should be strong against Shu Ya, and it would be best for her to be afraid of him. In this way, she wouldnât dare to say anything about what she saw on the Alice.
Shu Ya had just heard Yang Ming say that the words âLittle Yaâ were important to him. She felt excited. She almost couldnât wait to tell Yang Ming that she was actually that person.
However, a call from Yang Ming completely dispelled her thoughts! She was scared. It seemed that Yang Ming had a good relations.h.i.+p with his current girlfriend. Even if I told him the truth, would he accept me?
Having an important position in my heart and getting acceptance or not are two completely different concepts. Perhaps, I had become an indelible memory in his heart, but that was just a memory.
After all, the matter had been so long. Not everyone was as attached as she! Shu Ya wasnât sure, and she was unwilling to try!
It was because her true ident.i.ty was her only trump card now! If her trump card lost its effect, she would lose everything! She was scared, really scared. She was afraid that after her true ident.i.ty was revealed to Yang Ming, if Yang Ming still didnât accept her, then she really had no chance!
Therefore, this life-saving straw was more or less the last resort. If it was not the most critical moment, Shu Ya would never use it!
In contrast, Shu Ya felt that if she relied on her ident.i.ty as a celebrity and had condescended to get in contact with him and if that worked, she would naturally build a new relations.h.i.+p. If it was impossible, then she would reveal her true ident.i.ty.
After having a plan, Shu Yaâs expression returned to normal. Hmph, even though my current appearance isnât as beautiful as I used to be, Iâm also outstanding. I donât think that with my celebrity ident.i.ty I will fail in pursuing you.
Of course, this was just the inspiration Shu Ya came up with to cheer herself up. Would it be successful? Shu Yaâs heart was still fluttering.
âShu Ya, are you tired today? Then, you should go back to the hotel and take a rest. I will look for you another day since I have something I need from you.â Yang Ming noticed that they were approaching the hotel, so he spoke.
âWhat⊠what is the matterâŠâ Shu Ya was shocked.
Yang Ming hesitated. The matter he wanted to ask couldnât be explained in just a few moments, so Yang Ming was going to find another time to talk about it in detail. Moreover, he didnât want to reveal anything in advance that would alert Shu Ya!
Yang Mingâs instinct told himself that there should be some connection between Shu Ya and Su Ya, but Yang Ming couldnât find a clue.
âLife is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated..â Yang Ming faintly warned, âI hope that Miss Shu remembers what you said before. I donât want to see any news that a celebrity pa.s.sed away in the newspaper one day.â
â⊠Oh â Although Yang Mingâs words were stern, Shu Ya didnât know why she wasnât afraid. However, in order to cooperate with Yang Ming, she still nodded in fear and trepidation.
Shu Ya thought to herself. Am I stupid? If I tell others about that incident and something happens to you, what would I do?
Sure enough, it was exactly as Miss Xu expected. Once the extended Audi Q7 left the airport, it was followed by reporters. Yang Mingâs BMW X5 wasnât noticed.
Although the BMW X5 was also a famous car, in Song Jiang, Yang Ming was not the only one to have such a car. There were more people so the reporters wouldnât pay attention to such a car.
The car was parked in the underground parking lot of Tavern Heaven on Earth, and immediately a group of Ming Yang company bodyguards came to meet them. It was Yang Mingâs own territory. Those reporters simply couldnât get in, so there was no need to be afraid that Shu Ya would be seen by others.
âShu Ya, do you want to take a break first, or you want to wait for Miss Xu?â asked Yang Ming.
âI⊠will wait for them first.â Shu Ya naturally hoped to stay with Yang Ming longer.
âOkay.â Yang Ming nodded and picked up a CD that Shu Ya gave him and put it in the CD player in the car. Yang Ming didnât get out of the car and those bodyguards naturally wouldnât say anything.
The carâs audio started playing Shu Yaâs sad songâŠ
⊠I remember you had your name carved on it ⊠you put it in my hands ⊠our hearts are connected together âŠ
(Author notes: These lyrics were written for me by a group of readers. The Fisherman isnât good at these things.)
Yang Ming frowned. He appeared in a daze and lost in thought. When Yang Ming first listened to this song, he had a feeling of deja vu, but after his mother entered the house, he was distracted from this matter, so Yang Ming didnât quite remember.
Now, once again when Yang Ming heard this song, his thoughts were immediately drawn to the lyrics.
Shu Ya, who was by his side, was also in a daze. Every time she heard or sang this song, she would remember her past and remember the ring that she sold.
I am really stupid. I knew that I canât forget him and yet I made those unnecessary attempts. Great! Now I donât even know who bought this ring. If I wanted to find it, it would be even harder.
In fact, with Shu Yaâs influence, she believed that she only needed to hold a press conference and declare that she had regretted selling the ring. Perhaps the person who bought the ring would contact her.
However, Shu Ya wasnât sure because the person who bought the ring had never appeared. Therefore, he shouldnât be the kind of person who wanted to please her. So Shu Ya didnât do that.
The two people who were buried their own thoughts were listening to the song quietly. Because Shu Ya was already very familiar with this song, she didnât dwell into it as deep as Yang Ming. Shu Ya noticed from the corner of her eyes that Yang Ming was listening with focus. She was somewhat delighted hoping that Yang Ming would notice something from the lyrics.
However, Shu Ya was scared. She was afraid that Yang Ming really heard something and asked her the whereabouts of the ring. Shu Ya didnât know what to do.
After listening for a while, Yang Ming suddenly looked up and stared at Shu Ya, trying to discern something from her face.
The lyrics of the song was too much like Yang Ming and Su Ya, so he was even more convinced that Shu Ya must have a certain connection with Su Ya. However, the ability to peek into thoughts didnât activate this time.
Yang Ming opened the CD case. He took the insert out and read it. When he saw that the author of the lyrics was Shu Ya, he immediately asked, âDid you write the lyrics of this song?â
