part five: someone you loved

part five:
someone you loved

Shancai was getting swept away by the piano by one of her favorite songs. She couldn't help but listen to songs that make her think of him. Was it painful, yes, but she knew these feelings for him will never go away.

She finds herself delving into deeper emotions every time she drowns herself in these types of songs. 

She began to sing.

Daoming Si was about to step forward but was held back by Meizuo, as a way of saying wait.

While Si was overwhelmed with rage and impatience, he let himself stand still, which surprised himself. Because his vision was red - and he wanted nothing more than to run to the love of his life and hold her tight so she'll never escape again.

Shockingly, Zenguang and Yingyue have never heard their mother sing. Hum, yes, but never sing her heart out. They stared at her with eyes of woe.

Xiaoyou even found herself astonished by the emotion in Shancai's voice.

"I need somebody to heal, somebody to know..." Shancai closed her eyes as pleasant daydream crossed her mind, "It's easy to say, but it's never the same. I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain..."

F4 was at lost for words. Not only was seeing her again an overpowering surprise, but that voice.

Shancai was the type to hold back how she felt. But they guessed time changes everything. This was a different Shancai.

Daoming Si felt his breath hitch. He took in her comforting melody and emotion into the song. He paid deep attention to her angelic voice and vulnerability.

Shancai opened her eyes to find herself on a ballroom floor, wearing a beautiful white dress. Her eyes trailed up to see her handsome groom. The love of her life. Then their eyes met and she sang to him.

"And now the day bleeds into night falls, and you're not here to get me through it all. I let my guard down, then you pulled the rug," she brought him closer so they would slow dance, "I was getting used to being someone you loved."

Ah, that smirk of his. Probably at the fact that she's singing to him. 

"I knew you love me," he said cockily and she wanted to smack him.

"Not today, AhSi," she pouted. She felt something nudge her from behind and she looked to see her - their beautiful children. 

"Can we dance with you and Papa?" Zenguang asked shyly.

Si smiled and answered, "Of course, my son." The newlywed couple was being held by their little angels.

Shancai continued to sing, "And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes. I fall into your arms," she caressed his face gently and she felt a tear roll down her face, "I'll be safe in your sound til I come back around."

Then in a matter of seconds, he turned into white pedals and floated away, and she couldn't reach him. They didn't even share a kiss...

But her children were still by her side, and that is enough for her to remain happy. So she held them tight.

Shancai opened her teary eyes, "But now the day bleeds into nightfall and you're not here to get me through it all. I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug. I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved."

After a few seconds, she was swarmed with applause. And she looked at Xiaoyou and her kids, making her smile brightly.

Meanwhile, Si managed to find himself again and left the building, his friends following right behind him. 

"Where are you going?" Meizuo asked, shaking Si's shoulder over and over. "Dude, snap out of it."

Luckily, Meizuo managed to block Si's punch. He expected it honestly, knowing that Si lets his anger get the best of him.

"Snap out of it?" Si almost screamed, "You expect me to be calm after finding out the love of my life is alive? That I could have done something!?"

"You tried, Si, don't forget that," Ximen reasoned. "We tried looking for her, she was just a few steps ahead of us. You shouldn't blame yourself."

Si clenched his fists, not knowing what to do or say next. 

He only knew one thing: make sure Shancai never leaves him again. 

[with Shancai]

"So auditions will be held tomorrow, the same time. I hope you guys bring everything you've got!" Shancai bowed and dismissed everyone. 

Her best friend hugged her, "Shancai! That was so beautiful, I cried! I didn't know you had such a lovely voice."

Shancai blushed and her children was hugging her legs.

"You've got to tell me how it was living in the States," Xiaoyou said. "I need to know how you've changed."

Shancai felt her breath hitch.
