As soon as Luo He began to sing, Bai Tao was frozen in place. The surprising contrast caused Bai Tao a brief moment of confusion. But in an instant, Luo He's smooth and tender voice, like a clear spring, deeply captivated Bai Tao. His voice blended perfectly with the melody of Just One Last Dance. At that moment, Luo He seemed like an ethereal being, both mysterious and pure, yet carrying the warmth of the human world.
After a short daze, Bai Tao noticed Luo He gently raising his hand, signaling her to be ready for the next verse. Bai Tao, by nature carefree and easygoing, had always approached life, work, and studies with the attitude of "life is but a dream, just enjoy it." She rarely devoted herself completely to anything. Sometimes, she felt more like someone from the capital than from Donghai, pursuing not wealth, but a leisurely, carefree life. But at that moment, she felt a strong urge to sing this song earnestly. Even if she couldn't match Luo He's perfect voice, she would make sure it didn't stray too far from his.
When Luo He finished his first verse, Bai Tao slowly closed her eyes. Just One Last Dance was one of her favorite songs. She knew its background and the emotions it conveyed like the back of her hand. At this moment, she tried to empty her mind, immersing herself fully in the mood the song created. Even without looking at the screen, she could follow the rhythm perfectly, thanks to her familiarity with the song.
As the melody began, Bai Tao's voice joined in: "Just one last dance~~~ Before we say goodbye~~~ When we sway and turn around and round and round..."
Upon hearing Bai Tao's voice, Luo He subconsciously glanced at her. He was surprised to see that Bai Tao's aura had completely changed. At that moment, Bai Tao radiated a serious and deep energy, which was a stark contrast to how she had been when singing Every Moment Of My Life. Back then, Bai Tao was more focused on displaying the song's high notes, even adding a touch of playfulness. But now, she was singing with her soul. With her eyes closed and her brow furrowed, it was as if she wasn't just singing, but telling a heart-wrenching story. There were no flashy techniques, only pure emotional investment, and it was deeply moving. Luo He couldn't help but feel that Bai Tao had a past unknown to him, as if she were someone who had been through much in life.
"Just one last dance, before we say goodbye. When we sway and turn around and round and round. It's like the first time. Just one more chance, hold me tight and keep me warm…"
Bai Tao's emotional rendition of the chorus drew her deeper into the sorrowful atmosphere, making her almost want to cry, as though she herself were the one waiting for a lover to return. She was taken aback by the intensity of her own feelings. She had sung this song before, but never with such sadness. She didn't know that having Luo He beside her was making her resonate with the song on a deeper emotional level.
Not only was Bai Tao moved by her own voice, but Luo He was even more deeply affected. He was not only touched by the sorrowful and passionate tone of her singing but also by the pain that slipped through her expression. A wave of emotion hit him, and his nose tingled, his eyes filling with tears.
After finishing the chorus, Bai Tao slowly opened his eyes, signaling Luo He that it was her turn to sing.
"Let's do it together!" Luo He's eyes turned to the screen. Since he wasn't as familiar with the song as Bai Tao, he needed the screen to guide him into the next part.
In the final chorus, the two of them sang a duet. Both could hear each other's voices clearly, yet neither of them felt their own voice was out of place. It was as if their voices were always meant to blend. As they immersed themselves in the sound of each other's voices, they also relished the joy of collaborating.
Duets in love songs often serve as a breeding ground for romantic tension, and during this duet, both Bai Tao and Luo He silently began to develop feelings for each other. It was as though they had found a soulmate whose soul resonated with theirs. After the song ended, both felt a sense of regret, as though they hadn't sung enough. But they both carefully hid this feeling, afraid of revealing their true emotions.
They exchanged a tacit smile, attempting to show their gratitude for the collaboration. As their eyes met, their hearts raced again. Being alone together in the same room, the air grew thick with unspoken tension.
"Let's drink!" Luo He was the first to look away, trying to break the heavy atmosphere.
Bai Tao quickly grabbed her wine glass and clinked it gently with his. Even though they had been drinking all night, this was the first time they formally toasted.
"I know why you resist blind dates," Luo He said, taking a sip of his wine and gazing intently at Bai Tao.
"Why?" Bai Tao was surprised, never expecting Luo He to suddenly bring up this topic.
"You have a love story that's unforgettable! One that you can't let go of, one that you can't move past!" Luo He's tone was certain, as though he had already seen through Bai Tao's heart.
Bai Tao's eyes widened, confusion written all over her face: ??????
Seeing Bai Tao's shocked expression, Luo He smiled slightly, feeling even more confident in his guess.
"Tell me your love story," he said, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, eagerly awaiting Bai Tao's response.
