“Sorry about the stain on your clothes…” An Xiaxia apologized gingerly .

Sheng Yize was silent for a brief moment before he replied quietly .
He shouldn’t have expected anything .
The lights went off . Her first reaction was that the house was haunted while his was to protect her .
Falling for a dummy turned out to be such a torturous experience .
An Xiaxia was going to say something else when Sheng Yize pushed her away suddenly . She swayed and almost fell down .
A bright flashlight illuminated them and An Yibei’s voice rang out . There was concern in his usually nonchalant tone . “Xiaxia, are you alright?”
“I’m fine . ”
Seeing that his little sister was alright, An Yibei’s furrowed brow smoothed out a little .

“Why did the power suddenly go off?” asked An Xiaxia .
“There seems to be a fire somewhere nearby . The whole street has lost power,” explained An Yibei . “Dad said we’re going up to the roof to have a barbecue . ”
“Hooray!” An Xiaxia forgot all about her fear at the thought of meat . She then followed An Yibei with sparkling eyes .
An Yibei darted a look at Sheng Yize in the shadows and his face turned stern .
Sheng Yize pursed his lips and didn’t say a word .
The roof of the An family home was quite spacious . Papa An had set up the barbecue and the fire, and was skillfully grilling a variety of food .
Two tables had been set up on the side, with meat and vegetables on one and candles and flashlights on the other . The cozy look on the roof brought warmth to this early winter night .

An Xiaxia was drooling and kept her unblinking gaze on the meat . Sheng Yize couldn’t help but sigh at her adorkable face .
Papa An soon finished grilling a plate of food and served it, which was eaten up right away .
With nothing better to do, Chi Yuanfeng went downstairs with a flashlight and came back with a guitar, offering to perform for them .
He sat down properly, plucked the strings, and a cheerful tune flowed from his fingertips .
The others clapped along with the rhythm while he performed .
After a few songs, Chi Yuanfeng egged He Jiayu on . He Jiayu tried to decline but failed and had to pick up the guitar and sing a well-known love song by Starry Night .
An Xiaxia took out her phone and recorded He Jiayu’s performance .
She was going to show this to Su Xiaomo and the latter would have to buy her lunch, hoho~

The love song was all the more affectionate when He Jiayu sang it in his gentle voice . When he finished, even An Yibei — who was always picky and sharp-tongued — applauded him .
“Bother Yize, it’s your turn!” shouted Chi Yuanfeng .
Sheng Yize frowned and was going to refuse when An Xiaxia’s melodious voice rang out . “Come on! Come on!”
He darted her a look, smiled a little, and took over the guitar .
After a nice prelude, he cleared his throat and began to sing .
An Xiaxia was stunned as soon as he opened his mouth .
It was beautiful . Unexpectedly beautiful .
He was singing a slow and gentle English song which An Xiaxia didn’t quite understand . She only knew it sounded really nice .
However, she soon realized something wasn’t right .
Why had everyone turned toward her?
“Do I have something on my face?” An Xiaxia whispered to He Jiayu, who sat the closest to her .
He Jiayu was taking by surprise, then broke into laughter .
An Yibei snorted in disdain, while Chi Yuanfeng began to protest .
Even Papa An was smiling knowingly at her .
Sheng Yize kept his gaze on her . Despite the dark sky and the dim light, his eyes were as resplendent as the stars .
Aaah!
An Xiaxia was driven crazy . What on earth was Sheng Yize singing?!
