We moved to Golden Courtyard

"Hmm? That works?"

After that, the beautiful prelude began again, and Mei played it while humming softly. This piece currently only had this melody; it had neither a name nor lyrics.

When the music ended, a sense of melancholy filled my heart once again.

After listening to the story again, Ai Li suddenly looked at Xu Qi beside her.

"She is not desperate."

"Ok?"

Mei also looked at Airi, pondering the other's words and her own current state of mind.

"This is a piece of music full of sadness, but it is not hopeless. In fact... besides the melancholy in my heart, I also felt a lot of strength!"

Xu Qi's eyes suddenly widened!

"Because for my sister, she never despaired... even when her father died fighting his illness, even when she was the only one left in the world..."

Ellie's bright eyes were fixed on Xu Qi beside her.

"I think this might not be a piece of music to commemorate his father, even though the sadness in it comes from that unforgettable memory. But that's not what Eden really wanted to express."

She was commemorating... the boy who gave her the courage and hope to keep living, and who told her that she wasn't alone in this world.

Mei stared blankly at Xu Qi.

She didn't know what happened in Eden's past, but from Ellie's few words, she could tell that Eden in the past must have had some kind of relationship with Xu Qi!

"Live on...live on! Even after witnessing the tragedy of life, we must fight with all our might to live on! This is the cry I hear in this piece of music..."

Xu Qi clenched his hands tightly together.

"In Norse mythology, the Valkyrie drives the Chariot of Dawn day after day, guiding the spirits of the dead. But that chariot both welcomes death and gives birth to souls."

That was a... chariot leading to dawn.

Mei seemed to have thought of something and quickly took the paper and pen and handed them to Xu Qi.

"The name of this piece should be 'Akatsuki no Kuruma'."

In the following days, Eden continued to lock herself in her room, and apart from Xu Qi, very few people saw her.

And Xu Qi...

He was the same.

However, one was composing music, and the other was writing lyrics.

Neither of them asked what the other was doing or how far they were progressing.

Except for the occasional moment when Eden is overcome with emotion and bursts into tears, whenever this happens, Xu Qi will stop his own creation and go to comfort the sister in his arms.

day to day……

Perhaps the time span shouldn't have been so long. Almost two days later, as if by telepathy, the siblings both put down their pens.

Xu Qi stood up and, seeing this scene, slowly embraced Eden's body from behind.

"elder sister."

"It's called 'Akatsuki no Kuruma' (The Chariot of Dawn), right?"

Xu Qi nodded with a tired smile.

With trembling hands, Eden wrote a name on the first page of the entire piece—Akatsuki no Kuruma.

"This is our child, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's a child that my sister and I created together."

One writes the lyrics, the other composes the music, and neither of them needs to look at the other's work anymore; it's almost taken for granted that...

If it was written by him/her, then it is definitely possible.

With a sense of satisfaction, Eden leaned back deeply.

It's over... The feelings she had kept buried deep in her heart for over a decade were finally expressed today.

No... no, it's not over yet.

"To the recording studio, to the recording studio... I'm going to sing her out."

Xu Qi looked at Eden's current state with heartache. She had just recovered from a serious illness and her body wasn't even fully healed, yet she had already engaged in three days of intensive creative work. This was truly...

“It’s alright, Xiao Qi…” Eden reached out and stroked Xu Qi’s cheek. “I’m going to sing it out loud. This is… a song that belongs to you and me.”

In the recording studio, almost everyone from the Golden Garden was present, including Bronya and the others.

Upon hearing that "Dawn's Car," composed by Eden and with lyrics by Xu Qi, was completed, they drove directly from the company to the studio.

Everyone stood outside the soundproof wall, making no sound, quietly waiting for Eden's performance.

Inside the recording studio, Eden had changed into her brown dress and was sitting quietly at the piano.

She had already read Xu Qi's lyrics.

Just as Eden had imagined, it was the most fitting and perfect lyric in her mind.

Upon seeing the lyrics provided by Xu Qi, she already knew how to sing the song.

Xu Qi helped Eden set up the lyrics and music, and finally confirmed with his sister that she was in good condition before leaving the recording studio.

Once outside the soundproof wall, like everyone else, he held his breath. He knew perfectly well that no sound would travel through here, but...

They were just nervous.

Turning on the recording equipment, Xu Qi saw Eden looking over and gave her an OK sign, indicating to his sister that they could start.

……

The sound of a piano began, gentle and soothing.

It was just a simple prelude, yet it seemed to capture everyone's heart.

Bronya's eyes lit up—she'd got it!

And this was the last thing she could still let her mind wander.

……

Lying prone under the swaying shade of the trees, sobbing.

I gaze at myself, a complete stranger.

The guitar plays chapters about the deceased.

A shooting star falls for those who will never return.

……

Without any technique or embellishment, her natural voice flowed forth from Eden's heavenly vocals.

The moment the song began, everyone seemed to finally understand—she was never a businesswoman, and what she pursued was never wealth.

She is a true singer.

The full, sincere, and emotionally charged singing resonated with almost everyone present.

Xu Qi slowly closed his eyes. Perhaps only he knew how much emotion Eden had poured into this piece of music.

Tears streamed down Xu Qi's cheeks.

……

Watching the car depart at dawn

Orange petals are now swaying somewhere too.

Before the once-comfortable dawn returns.

Please do not turn off the lights.

The wheels started to turn

Chapter 974, 966: I only have you... Xiao Qi

Not everyone has the privilege of witnessing the birth of a classic. But today, everyone at the Golden Garden is fortunate enough to witness the birth of a classic – "Akatsuki no Kuruma".

When the song ended, while others were still immersed in the deep sorrow, Xu Qi had already broken free.

He rushed into the recording studio, and I would say it was exactly as expected.

The moment the song ended, Eden's tense mind relaxed, his eyes closed slightly, and he fell backward...

In her dazed state, she could only see a shadow rushing over and pulling her into its arms.

The comforting scent quickly lulled Eden to sleep in the other's arms.

"Sister! Sister!..."

When Eden awoke again, the familiar ceiling came into view. He'd always heard Xu Qi jokingly say something like, "Ah, the white ceiling."

Now I can finally understand some of it.

Eden turned his gaze and saw Xu Qi lying on the headboard, and for a moment he was a little dazed.

Thinking back to last year, Xu Qi was lying in a hospital bed like this, but I was abroad at the time.

When Eden first heard the news, she was extremely anxious. She only breathed a sigh of relief after Su confirmed with her that Xu Qi was not in any danger.

Mei was with Xu Qi that time.

Now, it's me lying in bed while Xu Qi sleeps next to me.

As the older sister, I'm being taken care of so much by my younger brother...

They really can't be considered very competent.

At this point, I should stop treating Xu Qi as a younger brother and start treating him as a husband. Thinking about it this way, I feel that it's only right for Xu Qi to take care of me.

Hmm, an adaptable younger brother.

With a slight movement of his arm, Eden lovingly patted Xu Qi's head.

They say that companionship is the most enduring expression of love, and it seems to be true now—Eden's heart is truly melting right now, and she's probably willing to grant any request Xu Qi might make later.

Seemingly sensing someone's touch, Xu Qi gently shook his head. When he looked up and saw Eden awake, he quickly sat up and asked.

"Sister! Are you... alright? Is there anything bothering you?"

"It's okay, Xu Qi, how long... have I been asleep?"

"It wasn't long, only half a day. I just took a nap. Sister Xian'er said that you were like this because you were too tired."

Eden glanced at the sky outside.

You can even see glimpses of sunset colors.

"Akatsuki no Kuruma"... is finished.

The moment I finished, I did feel a sense of relief, and then I fell into a deep sleep.

"Sister, why don't you rest for a while? I'll go get some food."

Xu Qi was about to get up when Eden gently pulled her hand.

"elder sister?"

"I'm not hungry, Xiaoqi. Can you stay with me for a while?"

Bathed in the light of the setting sun, a unique color and tenderness shone in Eden's eyes.

Xu Qi stared for a while, then nodded silently.

She wanted to sit back down on her little stool, but then she saw Eden pat the spot next to the bed.

"Forehead?"

"You don't want to?"

How could that be?

Xu Qi climbed onto the bed from the other side, and had just sat down when Eden leaned back and nestled into his arms. She greedily enjoyed Xu Qi's embrace, feeling rather clingy.

Even the sister who stands at the top of the world and is known as the "Golden" Eden can be this clingy?

Xu Qi found it somewhat cute.
