If I Have You, What More Could I Ask For In This Life? - Chapter 6.3

Translated by: Cherry

This was a huge private room, and there were all kinds of men and women inside. When they were at work, they had the uniformed look, but now, they were wearing all kinds of clothes. Some had crossed their legs and looked at Yisheng and Zhao Jixiang who were just entering, and some were doing their own things, but some were snatching the microphone to sing karaoke.

The gathering today was for everyone that had just graduated this year. They were in the transitional period between their school life and work-life, and they were full of vitality. Zhao Jixiang glanced at Xiao Zhuozi, then rushed to squeeze between Xiao Zhuozi and Song Anchen, sitting by his side. This resulted in Zhao Jixiang being to Yisheng’s right, and Song Anchen sitting on the left of Yisheng.

This caused Yisheng to feel awkward. She did not dare to look to the side. When she had just entered the room, she had met eyes with him, without his uniform, and after he took off his gold-rimmed glasses and wore a T-shirt, he still had the boy next door look, as if he had returned to how he was in high school.

Yisheng was quite nervous, her gaze was uneasy as she looked towards Zhao Jixiang, who was to the left of her. However, she saw Zhao Jixiang and Xiao Zhuozi glaring at each other, they were still having a disagreement. Zhao Jixiang suddenly stood up, walking to the song-picking station to pick songs. Xiao Zhuozi’s gaze did not move away from her at all. Yisheng did not know what was in his mind, but Xiao Zhuozi stood up as well, and went to pull Zhao Jixiang up, “I want to talk to you.”

“Let go.”

But Xiao Zhuozi used all his strength, ignoring Zhao Jixiang’s struggling and brought her outside.

Yisheng looked at the whole process, then blinked. She felt that there was something fishy about this whole situation. She was thinking when a high-pitched nurse finished singing, but there was no one going up to sing the next song.

Yisheng looked at the screen and was stunned for a moment, it was the song ‘If Love Goes On’.

“Who chose this?” A slightly plump Liu Xiao asked.

“It should be Zhao Jixiang who picked it just now.”

“But who’s going to sing it now?”

“Skip it.”

“Why skip it? It’s a nice song.”

This song was a song that she had once studied crazily. She felt like it seemed to resonate with her a lot, so she liked this song a lot. She smiled and said, “I’ll sing it.” When Liu Xiao heard Yisheng, who had not spoken at all say that she wanted to sing the song, she instantly enthusiastically handed her the microphone, “Remember to be sad.” And then, she started to clap, “Come, come, let’s listen to the great beauty, Yisheng’s song.”

Instantly, the whole room started to clap. She was a little embarrassed and could only smile. When her gaze landed on Song Anchen’s dark and shining eyes, her heart missed a beat. She took a deep breath and started to sing along to the melody.

(T/N: This song is called ?????, it’s a very beautiful song, and I’m really sorry, but I’m definitely no good at translating song lyrics so if it sounds awkward… I apologize!)

“The couple on the end of the street is just like us

As the city lights up in the evening, two more stories end in a tragedy

Letting go of the hug and going off in different directions

When I look at them, my eyes turn wet

The broken faces that are covered with tears, face different directions and did not look back

It’s as if our yesterday was replayed

A long time ago, if we continued to love, what would have happened

It was the last time I believed in eternity

Once, I was in your warm hand and didn’t need to imagine

In the long days ahead, I’ll wander around lonelily

A long time ago, if we continued to love, what would have happened

I would have faith in love without a doubt

But life is completely different

I hope that I’ll never learn how to be strong
