Chapter 24: His Confession to Her
Han Di walked up to her side, suppressing the urge to hug her, and softly said: "Do you like it? If you do, I'll give this rose garden to you."
"Send it to me?" Xia Xingxin pointed at herself with her finger.
"Uh-huh. I'll give it to you."
"Are you going to pick all these roses and let me take them home? Han Di, that won't do, they will wither."
"No. What I mean is that this rose garden belongs to you now. You can come here every day to admire and take care of your roses."
"Come here every day?!"
"Of course you don't have to come every day. But now these roses are yours, if you don't take care of them often, they will wither..."
"How can I possibly keep running to your house?!"
"This doesn't matter at all, no one will say anything about you. Because this place belongs to me, I have the final say in everything."
"Don't... Hey, I came here today to accompany you in practicing your song, didn't I? If you're not going to practice, then I'm leaving."
"Hey! Xing Xing!" Han Di Sheng was afraid that Xia Xing Yin would leave, so he immediately grabbed her hand. "Let's go practice. Go to the swing set."
Han Di sat down on the swing with his guitar, Xia Xingyin sat beside him. Han Di gave her a slight smile and said before playing: "The song I'm going to play for you was thought of last night when I couldn't sleep, the lyrics were written in a bit of a hurry so they might not be very good, but it's sincere..."
"Hmm, shall we begin?" What's the point of saying such nonsense? She was just going to tell him her thoughts after listening anyway.
"Okay. Stars, listen to this song seriously." Han Di's long and white fingers gently plucked the strings of the guitar, and a pleasant melody came out from it.
The prelude is still pretty good...
The prelude ended, and Han Di began to sing along with the melody that followed:
The girl sitting next to me
Did you feel my heartbeat?
Because of your restlessness
Because you're even slow at breathing
Watching you every minute and every second
My heart is soaked in joy
Even now I am still young
Your love will not be lessened either
Forever and ever
My heart is filled with your goodness
My eyes are filled with your smile
～
The girl sitting next to me
Don't think I'm joking
This song is played only for you
Because of you I will happily smile
Watching you every minute and every second
My heart is soaked in joy
Even now I am still young
Your love will never be less
Stars stars stars stars
My heart is filled with your goodness
My eyes are filled with your smile
……
Han Di's fingers slowly stopped playing, and he looked at Xia Xingyun with some tension, "...how is it...?"
With such straightforward lyrics, she should have gotten it by now... Should I... accept him?
But...
"Han Di, these lyrics seem a bit strange..." Reaction of Xia Xing Yin...=_=
"What's strange?"
"It's just that last line of lyrics, those two 'stars' were inserted too stiffly, it would be better to repeat the previous line's 'forever' instead."
"..."-_-|| Didn't hear if he was confessing to her or... pretending not to know on purpose...
"Also."
"Anything else?..."
"This song seems like it's for confessing one's love?"
"Mmm!"
"Your creation is pretty good. Sing it to that girl Han Di likes and she'll definitely accept you." So, I'll be off then?
"Stars, are you kidding me? -_-#"
"What?"
"The lyrics are so straightforward, can't you really hear it?"
"Huh??"
"This song... is sung for you, was created for you..."
“o_o……”
"So, I'm confessing to you... Now, give me an answer?"
“……”
"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you implying something?"
"No!" Xia Xingxin jumped up from the swing, somewhat flustered, and explained to Han Di: "Han Di... my feelings for you... are just friendly feelings, like those I have for Zhen Shu..."
"So you're refusing...refusing my heart's desire?" Han Di asked, his voice somewhat choked, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, not expecting her to refuse him...
"Sorry......" Xia Xingxin bit her lip and looked at Han Di apologetically.
"Was it said because you didn't want me to be sad?"
"Uh... sorry, Han Di..."
"Rather than this, Xing Xing... just accept me directly, that way... I won't be in pain..." Han Di said sadly to Xia Xing Yin.
"...I couldn't do it this way..." Disliking him but accepting him is a kind of deception.
Han Di didn't say anything else.
Xia Xingxin stood beside the swing, also silent...
The quiet atmosphere lasted for about five minutes, and Han Di's lips moved slightly. "Would you like to sit down next to me...?"
“……”
"Besides confessing... I have some other things I want to say to you."
Xia Xingxin pursed her lips and sat back on the swing.
"Stars, do you know that you are the first person to seriously listen to my music... not treating my music as a joke. Only your ears are serious about listening to every melody I play... so far only you have treated my music with such seriousness..."
"Maybe it's just that you haven't given others the chance to listen to your music? They might also listen seriously to your playing."
"Are you talking about those girls in school? Geez, those girls only stare at my face with extremely concentrated attention, they can't hear the music. When I finish playing, apart from clapping and asking me out, they can't express any opinions related to the music..."
