Xie Qing listened to Lyu Lyu's singing with admiration on his face. It seemed as if the world had fallen silent the moment she began to sing.
Many of the sailors shared his reaction, standing still until the song was over before erupting into applause. The loud cheers and clapping echoed all the way to where Xie Qing and Lyu Lyu were seated.
"It seems that you are quite popular here," Xie Qing remarked with a smile, glancing at the excited sailors. "And they hold you in high regard, Lyu Lyu."
"Yes... I have been playing the zither and occasionally singing for almost a year now to practice," the young woman replied, straightening her hair. She blushed slightly, "Even the city leader has come to listen to my songs. It's a little embarrassing."
"Embarrassing? Well... They are still quite restrained in their actions. Your voice is priceless," Xie Qing said earnestly, causing Lyu Lyu to blush even more.
