DAEYTT Chapter 003: This is Life!

Ding ding ding...

The crisp sound of a guitar rang out.

The familiar guitar music flowed gradually from Wang Qian's hands.

Wang Qian gazed out at the beach outside, his eyes unfocused.

The clear, flowing voice spread out around him.

"Wanderer, on the road."

"Are you leaving, via, via..."

"Fragile, once proud."

"That used to be me..."

"Boiling, restless."

"Where are you going, via, via..."

"Mysterious, silent."

"Are you really listening to the story..."

His voice, like a whispered tale, entered into everyone's ears.

The whole venue was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone felt like he was singing about their own lives, something soft within them awakened.

Suddenly, Wang Qian's voice rose.

"I've crossed mountains and seas."

"I've been through crowds."

"I once had everything."

"In the blink of an eye, it all scattered like smoke..."

"I've been lost, disappointed, lost all direction..."

"Until I saw that ordinary was the only answer..."

...

Liu Lihua and Li Qingyao both watched Wang Qian sing in silence.

This song!

It truly reached into their hearts, just like everyone else, they were deeply moved.

Only those who had experienced the ups and downs of life could understand the flavor in Wang Qian's singing. The more they pondered, the more flavorful it became.

The ups and downs of life became clearer in their minds.

Even though Liu Lihua had never thought much of Wang Qian before, listening to this song, she couldn't help but admit that Wang Qian was talented.

But still, she believed Wang Qian wasn't worthy of Li Qingyao.

"When you're still, dreaming."

"Of your tomorrow, via, via..."

"Will it be better, or worse."

"For me, it's another day."

"I've destroyed everything."

"Just wanting to leave forever!"

"I've fallen into endless darkness."

"Trying to struggle but unable to break free..."

"I've been like you, like him, like those weeds and flowers."

"Desperate, longing, bitter, smiling, ordinary..."

"In the depths of fate, this is the only path I must take..."

"Time speaks, in such a manner."

"Tomorrow is already here, via, via..."

"The wind blows, the road still stretches far..."

Ding... ding... ding... ding...

Wang Qian's fingers on the guitar slowed down, his voice lowered to a whisper, each word uttered slowly and softly, as if asking in the ear, "Where have you told, your story...?"

Wang Qian stood up gently, facing everyone with a solemn expression, he bowed slightly. "Thank you all for listening. This song is called 'The Ordinary Road'. Sorry to disturb!"

With that, Wang Qian placed the guitar back in its original position and then walked lightly towards Li Qingyao's direction.

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap...

The applause erupted at this moment.

It seemed like the entire audience just woke up.

Many people stood up, applauding frantically, their eyes shining as they watched Wang Qian step by step.

The man who had spoken earlier let out a choked voice, "Waiter, bring another five hundred roses to this brother. He sang so well..."

He wiped his eyes, smiled apologetically at everyone, then sat back down.

But no one laughed at him.

Because many people were wiping tears.

A well-dressed young woman boldly stood up and blocked Wang Qian's path, "Sir, can I add you as a friend? I want to be friends with you!"

Wang Qian politely smiled and said softly, "No need, I might not come here again in the future, so we probably won't have a chance to meet again."

The young woman stared intently at Wang Qian, her eyes full of a desire to possess him, and quickly said, "If you don't come, then I won't come either. Wherever you go, I'm willing to accompany you..."

Wang Qian still smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I'm just a passerby in your life! If we meet again by chance next time, we can be ordinary friends."

The young woman gripped her phone tightly, nodding fiercely, "Okay, I'll remember what you said."

Wang Qian also nodded seriously, fully acknowledging what he said, "Of course, sorry!"

With that, Wang Qian walked past the young woman and returned to his seat.

Applause erupted again around him.

Many people sighed in admiration.

"This gentleman is truly perfect, so mature."

"He behaved so gracefully."

"He's handsome, sings so well, and has the talent to write such good pieces. And he's so polite, I really want to add him as a contact."

"Whoever can marry him will be truly lucky."

...

Wang Qian turned back to everyone and gave another smile, then his expression returned to calm in a second. He sat back down at his seat, picked up his water glass, took a sip, cleared his throat, and sighed to Li Qingyao in front of him, "I'm getting old. Haven't sung for a while, didn't perform well, sorry for that!"

Li Qingyao's eyes were a bit red, she quickly lowered her head to conceal her emotions, and said softly, "It was good, not inferior to me anymore, your singing skills are even better than before."

Liu Lihua hurriedly nudged Li Qingyao with her elbow, showing a polite but embarrassed smile, "You sang very well. Yao Yao has already signed, take a look, if it's okay, you can sign too. We still have other schedules for today..."

Liu Lihua noticed that Li Qingyao's mood was not right, fearing that she might change her mind again, she quickly suppressed her own feelings towards Wang Qian, and prioritized getting this matter done first.

Wang Qian nodded, picked up the agreements, and after confirming that there were no issues this time, he immediately wrote his name on both agreements.

Divorce agreement.

Confidentiality agreement!

The two of them signed the divorce agreement, and only needed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow to get the divorce certificate, officially ending this marriage in legal terms.

Wang Qian promised to keep it confidential, and if the secret was leaked, there would be no punishment or loss.

Of course, Wang Qian wouldn't do anything that harmed others and benefited himself, especially to his ex-wife; it would be even more unsightly if it caused a scene.

It's best to part on good terms.

Goodbye, and take care.

It's not good for anyone to make a fuss.

Wang Qian wouldn't hold any grudges against Li Qingyao.

Having experienced two lives, he looked at everything indifferently.

That's why he liked the songs "You from the Past" and "The Ordinary Road." In fact, they reflected his current state of mind.

Wang Qian put away his copy of the agreement and stood up, extending his hand to Li Qingyao, "Well, there's nothing else. I'll leave first. I wish you all the best in the future."

Li Qingyao took off her mask, revealing a face that was stunning at first sight. It was considered one of the peak Chinese faces in the entertainment industry, with a hint of Oriental subtlety and Western grandeur. Her eyes were slightly red as she stared at Wang Qian and said softly, "Do you regret it?"

Wang Qian sighed and asked back, "Regret what? Regret being with you, or regret divorcing you?"

Li Qingyao bit her lip, "Then what do you regret?"

Wang Qian reached out and gently hugged Li Qingyao, smelling the unfamiliar but expensive perfume on her, no longer the unique scent that belonged only to Li Qingyao. He said softly, "I don't regret being with you, nor do I regret divorcing you. I once loved you, took you as my reliance and home. So, I also respect your choice now. I sincerely hope you'll have a better and happier future. Let go of what's done, and move forward! This is life..."

Wang Qian let go of Li Qingyao, gave her a smile, then turned and left.
