Chereads / Heartstrings Chronicles / Chapter 9 - Melody of Love and Lavender

Chapter 9 - Melody of Love and Lavender

When Yuxi went to the balcony as she didn't hear anything I said, Jeon was also looking at her in surprise.

We both watched her after making a small call to someone.

"Hello, good morning dear! Today is your day. Perform well today. I'm coming to see my dear."

Jeon and I looked at each other because Yuxi had never talked to anyone like this.

"Brother Kao, don't you think our little sister has a boyfriend"

"How can that happen? Yuxi can't do anything with my eyes closed."

"Hey, what are you two still doing in bed? I want to go to university today."

I went to the washroom put on a wash and went down. They were sitting at the dining table waiting for me.

"Kao, here's your protein shake."

"Thanks, Yuxi "

"How many years have the three of us been living alone in this house?"

"Jeon, we've been here since middle school. I won't go to Beijing again."

"Shall we go after breakfast? I need to go as soon as possible guys"

"Yuxi, why are you in such a hurry to go to university?"

"I'll tell you two after I go to university."

"Little miss, here is the bouquet of lavender," 

"Okay. We will come back for dinner."

Yuxi was in a hurry so we came home early to the university. Without going anywhere else, we went to the main hall at Yuxi's insistence.

"Miss VIP area is ready"

Sitting in the VIP area of the main hall, I also started playing a game with Jeon. The game was bigger than thinking about what Yushi was going to do. After a while, I heard the melody of my favorite song and looked at the stage.

In a tranquil lake where two swans resided,

A love story unfolded, a tale we can't hide,

A male and a female, so graceful and free,

Their love was a treasure, a sight to see.

Yes, my mother's beautiful song. I remembered how she used to sing that song while holding me in her lap. But who sings this? I got up from where I sat and went a little in front of the glass. I couldn't see his face.

"Kao, that song is sung by my little swan."

When Yuxi said that, I was waiting for him to turn to the audience.

But fate had a plan, a cruel twist in the night,

An archer's cold arrow has no chance to take flight,

The male swan fell, in the moon's silver glow,

His love cried in sorrow, with tears that would flow.

Wearing a dusty pink shirt, he sings that song beautifully. He still did not turn."Oh damn man, I wanna see your face." I whined

Two swans, once bound by love, torn apart by pain,

In that moment of heartache, the skies wept like rain,

But in heaven they found solace, a love so true,

As a fairy couple, their love was reborn, brand new.

"Oh my god, he's beautiful," I thought. His shining smiling eyes, soft dimple cheeks, beautiful short hair...I couldn't take my eyes off him. "I saw his beauty today, I missed his beauty that day," I said to myself

The female swan's heart, heavy as lead,

She couldn't bear to live without him, she said,

Her chest did burst, her spirit took flight,

Two souls in anguish now joined in the night.

"Yuxi, Aunty Lena's new disciple seems very talented"

"I think the only person who can sing Aunty Lena's song so beautifully is my baby swan."

"Yeah, Yuxi. He is pretty talented… mmm"

They soared to the heavens, on wings of pure grace,

A love everlasting, a celestial embrace,

Together they danced in the starry expanse,

Their love transcends, a timeless romance

"Why did Yuxi take us here now, ah?"

I asked her a question that was bothering me.

Now they reside in the heavens above,

Two swans turned fairies, wrapped in eternal love,

Their story is a legend, a lesson, a song,

Of love's enduring power, forever strong.

In the realm of the stars, they shimmer and shine,

A bond that won't falter, a love so divine,

In every sunset's glow and each moon's tender light,

They remind us true love is an endless flight.

So remember this story, let it never depart,

That love can endure, even when torn apart,

Two swans turned fairies, up above they do reside,

In a love that's forever, side by side.

"Kao, that kid is new to the university. I researched him. He has only one friend. He is a kid who came from a scholarship. Many people are angry with him because Aunty Lena likes him. I want to be a good friend to him. He is a kind boy kao"

"Kao man, Yuxi hasn't asked for anything before from us. Let's let her do what she wants."

"Hmm.. Shall we go now? ah… I don't like those dramatical places"

"Wait, I want to give this to that kid, let's go backstage."

Even though I didn't want to go, I followed Yuxi because I thought I wanted to see him once more.

"Swan baby,"

My heart started pounding as Yuxi ran up to the boy and hugged him. I stared at him unflinchingly.

"Swan baby here's this for you. You perform well dear"

"Oh, these lavender flowers are my favorite kind. Thank you Yuxi Jiejie!"

"Yuxi's swan sang beautifully," Jeon patted him on the back, smiling.

"Oh swan baby, I couldn't tell, this is my stupid twin brother."

"Nice to meet you, bro!"

"Sweetie, what are you doing now?"

"Yuxi Jiejie, I want to go to Shenzhen today."

"And why?"

"My grandmother is ill. Now I am going home with Miss Lena."

Even though Jeon and Yuxi congratulated him, I didn't go to him, I saw that stupid boy looking at me from time to time. His eyes are shining. There is no malice on his face. His lips shine like his eyes."Oh, are you crazy, keep looking at that boy like that? Look the other way. Otherwise, it won't be good for your self-esteem," I thought to myself.

"Yuxi, if your work is done, shall we go? I have a lecture now."

"Baby swan, be careful then. after arriving at your destination send me a text. Jeon, Since when did Kao want to learn? "

"Oh my god. Now I think his mask has changed."

I didn't think about what they were saying, I looked at the baby swan once and hurriedly left there.

@lena's madam apartment

"Yuxi is a person with such a beautiful smile, and his twin brother is also like a good person, together with that evil kao, I can't show that guy, he is always following Yushi like a demon who took a candle to the lamp. I want to punch that guy in the face. Do you know mom, Madam Lena, who treats me as her own son? However, when I was at the academy, many people said unnecessary things to me. Did I perform well today, Mom?"

"Who is this little boy talking to?"

When I gasped and looked back, Madam Lena was there. She brought me an orange drink and sat next to me.

"Ma'am, this is my mother and father. It has been 10 years since my mother left me."

I handed the photo I had to the madam and took two sips of an orange drink.

"Muyang, Feng is your mother?" Iena madam asked me and looked at me in surprise.

"Yes, this is my mother."

"God, my children, why did it take me so long to find you?"

Miss Lena hugged me and started to cry a lot.

"Madam, do you know my mother?"
