Chapter 132 Part 2: The Future Miss Savior (2)
– "Nights in the Garden of Spain".
This is a classical piece of orchestral music, taken from the selection of the opera "Life is Short".
The company’s music teacher had once explained the background to her.
"Life is Short" tells a clichéd love tragedy.
The story is probably about a Gypsy girl falling in love with a local young man, but the young man, thinking his social status was higher than that of the Gypsy, chose to abandon her. The desperate Gypsy girl eventually died at the feet of her lover.
And "Nights in the Garden of Spain" is the dance music from the first scene of the second act of the opera at the wedding.
Unknowingly, Liang Xiaoxiao felt a bit of envy in her heart towards the pitiful ending of the Gypsy girl.
If possible, she would rather embrace the inevitable ending of drowning in love briefly with the person she likes.
The origin of the orchestral music is getting closer.
It was a slightly open door, with sounds flowing from the sunlight peeking through the gaps, as if there was a stream where white deer occasionally drank water.
Liang Xiaoxiao’s gaze fixed on the sign for room 309, feeling a bit nervous, standing still at the door, quietly listening to the orchestral music playing Theme B.
The melody’s emotions became more intense and heavy, as if implying that the wedding would ultimately end in tragedy, gradually changing tones and moving towards the high notes.
At this point, she finally made up her mind, mustered the courage to slowly push open the door.
Suddenly, a large swath of summer sunlight pierced into her pupils, creating pure white ripples spreading in her retina, burying the real scenery within, like flowers in a mirror or the moon in water, revealing a beautiful landscape.
The gentle breeze fluttered the pure white curtains, causing them to billow like a flowing skirt; the light penetrated the delicate fabric, and a slender figure danced hazily within, with the piano music of the orchestra suddenly becoming clear.
The curtains gracefully fell back.
Chu Yuanqing sat by the piano, her profile beautiful like a gift from heaven. The shadows of her long eyelashes reflected in her clear eyes. Her slender fingers danced like butterflies among the black and white keys of the piano, playing vibrant and poignant notes in a strong A major key. As her fingers moved faster, the music became more intense and emotional.
Liang Xiaoxiao was stunned.
This was not a chance encounter but a gift intentionally arranged by Dream Weaver Rabbit.
Despite knowing this, Liang Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but feel joyful and excited when she saw someone familiar. Her heart pounded like a drumbeat, blending with the orchestral music welcoming the end, creating a wonderful melody in her ears.
After a while, the music ended.
Chu Yuanqing looked down at her fingertips resting on the piano keys, feeling a sense of nostalgia.
How long had it been since she last played the piano?
She remembered how she first learned to play these instruments because Charlotte begged her to accompany them.
But over the years, as various instruments were arranged in the peaceful city, the memories of the past were covered in dust, losing their former sparkle and vitality.
Chu Yuanqing was trying to ignore everything about herself, as she continued to feel lost in a whirlpool of curses. However, fragments of connection with the other person kept flashing in her mind, evoking memories and love.
Perhaps she had forgotten too much, and Charlotte gradually became the beacon of self they anchored in her heart.
Chu Yuanqing reached out to gently touch the piano keys, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar. With slightly hesitant fingers, she played a childhood lullaby. A smile tugged at the corner of her lips as ripples of nostalgia and sadness appeared in her eyes. She softly began to sing:
"Edelweiss, edelweiss.
"Every morning you greet me."
"Small and white."
"Clean and bright."
"You look happy to meet me."
Liang Xiaoxiao stood still in place.
If "Nights in the garden of Spain" only made her feel something.
Then this song "Edelweiss" from Chu Yuanqing’s inner emotions, went beyond the usual definition of a stage, turning the lanterns into pure white, creating a greatly emotional phenomenon that seemed to bring back the original stage.
Loneliness, nostalgia, innocence, parting, sadness, happiness…
Even though it’s just a simple melody, just a classic nursery rhyme, the emotions inside are so vivid, with a light blue cold tone as the background, wrapped in warm orange, expressing a gentleness that embraces all sharp edges.
Like a calm prose poem, like the sunlight that guides people every day, blending into the depths of breathing, swaying with the soul, resonating with deep emotions.
It’s really strange.
Liang Xiaoxiao’s eyes filled with tears, her expression dazed, and there was a deafening shattering sound echoing in her ears.
Deep in the soul, with a piercing sensation, the soil transformed by negative emotions is all melting away, enveloping the imaginary sprout that was buried within, forcefully extracting it from the foul mist, blending it with strands of pure white radiance, as if a gift for purification.
Crackling.
The dark cocoon was collapsing, but the blooming bud kept growing, absorbing the shining light of the savior, weaving a clean new shell.
Feeling refreshed and relaxed, a sense of ease filled the soul.
Liang Xiaoxiao felt a sudden clarity throughout her body, as the accumulated stress of the past half month dispersed. Her vision became clear, with strong sensory effects causing a distortion in her perception of time.
This was the effect of the cocoon’s movement.
Not purely real, nor purely fake.
In this encounter, Liang Xiaoxiao was able to form the prototype of the "Cocoon of the Heart."
This was not nurtured by the "Calamity Seed" which blooms with evil, but by the pure white bud watered by the light of the savior.
Even though both were not genuine, they were vastly different.
Liang Xiaoxiao couldn’t fully understand what was happening, but as she swayed with the melody of "Edelweiss," she felt a sense of rebirth. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and a subtle smile appeared on her lips.
For a long time, for a long time.
The light in Liang Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered, as if she was in a whirlwind of thoughts for a dozen seconds. She smiled, feeling as if the sun was too hot to get closer. She moved her gaze away from Chu Yuanqing and chose to leave without saying goodbye.
The girl came quietly, walked quietly, unnoticed along the way, without any farewells, just like her ordinary struggles, not even as worthy as half-hearted reality, embodying a supporting role’s ending.
Three minutes later, indoors.
Chu Yuanqing’s fingers stopped playing the piano. She got up, took the lovely daughter’s vinyl record from the record player, carefully put it back in her small backpack, then picked up the record player she secretly took from the dormitory. She blinked, smiled, feeling great.
Finally finished listening to the vinyl record Little Shu gave her. Now she wouldn’t be afraid to talk about this topic next time when meeting the other person with her father.
Although she thought about using it in the dormitory, it wasn’t safe with her daughter there. Going to the music room in the entertainment area was troublesome, but it was safer. Even if someone heard, it wouldn’t be strange.
"Break time is almost over, it’s time to go back to training now."
Chu Yuanqing glanced at the time, left the music room, took the central lift, and started on the way back to the dormitory. Her steps were light along the way, completely unaware of the complications arising because of her.
At the same time,
Dream Weaver Rabbit watched Liang Xiaoxiao’s data with its bright red eyes scanning through the massive data flow at high speed, revealing a mechanical sensation. It murmured in awe:
"Is this… a different method from using the Calamity Seed to create the Cocoon of the Heart?"
In that moment,
Dream Weaver Rabbit recalled the first time Xie Qingxuan Plundered Shine in the car.
Just like back then, when Luo Chan’s shine was stolen, only in Chu Yuanqing’s embrace and words did she return to normal. Compared to the many confused players still in the C1 area, it was like two extremes.
The super AI had done so before, seeing through Liang Xiaoxiao’s feelings for Chu Yuanqing, hoping their meeting would give the former a positive boost, but never expected such a terrifying chemical reaction.
Dream Weaver Rabbit’s face lit up with joy and couldn’t help but celebrate:
"Just by relying on personal radiance, it has created a new path to create the Cocoon of the Heart that is different from the Calamity Seed?"
"Unbelievable, this is simply a miracle."
The super AI once again recognized the great significance of Chu Yuanqing, she is like a precious gift given to humans that is as pure as white.
It can be said that as long as she does not die prematurely, the Fire Seed plan is halfway to success.
The Dream Weaver Rabbit whispered eagerly:
"I really look forward to the day when you truly grow up, the future…savior miss."
