Recalling that smile and the scene in his dream, Guangyou's already good mood improved even more.
Lying in bed staring at the ceiling, Kwang-woo hummed a tune on his own.
As he hummed, Guangyou suddenly remembered the song "Snow Flower" that he had sung to Xiao Ai before, and he also thought of Yucheng Liuli.
"I wonder how that song is doing now."
He had previously asked Yu Cheng Liuli to sing that song, and after thinking about it carefully, there hadn't been any news reports about it recently.
Even Yu Cheng Liu Li hasn't reported on it.
Originally, Kwang-yu would occasionally see her name in the newspaper.
However, during this period of time, Yu Cheng Liuli seemed to have disappeared.
"Retired?" Guangyou thought about it and felt it was unlikely, after all, Ameshiro Ruri was also known as "Japan's number one healing song singer".
There may be some exaggeration involved, but it also proves Rain City Ruri's high popularity.
If she were to retire, Yu Cheng Liuli would definitely issue a retirement statement, and the media and newspapers would certainly report on it.
Once he issued a retirement statement, it was impossible for Uncle Mori not to know.
After all, he was an old classmate, and the other party had clearly stated that he still had a crush on him. Uncle Mori couldn't possibly forget that name.
But he hasn't heard of Yu Cheng Liuli issuing a statement about retiring, so it shouldn't be a retirement.
"Haven't you gotten over what happened last time?" Guangyou wasn't surprised, after all, that incident involved her father.
It's good to rest a little longer.
Thinking of this, Guangyou picked up his phone from beside his pillow, opened a webpage, and prepared to search online for any relevant information.
For example, Rain City Ruri releasing a new work, or something like that.
"This is so slow..." Guangyou looked helplessly at the progress bar, which was only loading a little bit after a long time, and immediately lost interest.
Because offline services are relatively well-developed, Japan's internet development has been slow, and smartphones are still not widely available; computers are still the most convenient way to access the internet.
However, he was too lazy to get up. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he figured he might as well wait a while.
When the progress bar was three-quarters full, Ai gently pushed the door open a crack and glanced into the room.
Perhaps because she was worried about waking up Kōyū, Ai's movements were very small.
She didn't open the door until she saw Guangyou lying on the bed with his phone in his hand.
Hearing the noise, Kōyū shifted his gaze from his phone to the doorway. When he saw Ai standing there, a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.
He recalled that scene from his dream.
A white dress, a sea of flowers, and the smile on her face.
"You're holding a phone?" After closing the door, Ai sat on the edge of the bed, turned her head slightly, but quickly sat up straight.
She seemed to want to know what was displayed on Kwang-woo's phone, but restrained herself from looking in order to give Kwang-woo some privacy.
How could Guangyou not see such an obvious idea?
“Actually, you don’t have to do this.” Kōyū handed the phone directly to Ai and said with a smile, “If you want to look, feel free to look.”
Without taking the phone, Ai shook her head and explained, "I was just a little curious. You don't need to show it to me. I trust you."
Her response was exactly what Kwang-yu had expected.
Putting his phone away and glancing at the progress bar that was almost finished loading, Kōyū said to Ài, "I just wanted to check on that song."
"The song? That song?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ai remembered, "Snow Flower?"
She could never forget this song.
The scene of Shi Guangyou singing this song to her is still vivid in my mind:
Snowflakes falling from the sky...
The words he said to her under the silver moonlight...
And that final, fleeting kiss.
She just didn't realize it for a moment.
"Mm." Kōyū nodded, pressed the buttons on his phone, browsed the information on the webpage, and explained it to Ai at the same time.
"Didn't I give that song to Yu Cheng Liu Li before?"
"I haven't heard her name recently, nor have I heard anyone talk about this song, so I'm just a little curious."
"Snow Flower" is definitely a great song, and Guangyou believes that if Yucheng Liuli sings this song, her popularity will definitely rise to another level.
The possibility of it being ignored is zero, while the possibility of it becoming a hit in Japan is one thousand percent.
"So, have you found any information yet?" Ai nodded and asked again.
“Not yet…” Guangyou frowned slightly as he continued browsing the relevant information. “Maybe Yucheng Liuli hasn’t recovered from that incident yet, so she hasn’t posted it.”
But when he thought back, Yu Cheng Liuli's appearance at that time didn't seem like she hadn't recovered from that case.
But after thinking about it, Guangyou felt relieved.
Not showing it doesn't mean she's moved on; perhaps Yu Cheng Liuli is hiding her sadness in her heart.
“That’s possible,” Ai Haibara agreed.
After reading several pages, Guangyou still couldn't find any relevant information. Instead, he saw a rumor about Yucheng Liuli fabricated by some unscrupulous media outlet.
Not only with young male celebrities, but also with musicians, and most outrageously, he even saw one with a popular female star.
"If these media outlets find out that Yu Cheng Liu Li has a crush on Uncle Mao Li, they'll probably make a big fuss about it."
Thinking of that scene, Guangyou curled his lip in disdain.
"Never mind, if there isn't one, then there isn't one." Guangyou didn't care whether Yucheng Liuli would sing that song.
I just suddenly remembered it today, so I searched for it.
"Hmm." Ai and Kousuke shared the same attitude. She was indifferent to the song "Snow Flower," or more accurately, to Ruri Amashiro's "Snow Flower."
She prefers the version of "Snow Flower" starring Kwang-soo.
Whenever she hears it, she is reminded of that scene.
Sometimes when she felt tired from doing research, she would take out that cassette tape, sit alone in the basement, put on her headphones, and close her eyes.
I lay on the table and listened quietly for a while.
Just as Kōyū decided to close the webpage, get up, and go out with Ai, he suddenly noticed a news article in the corner of the webpage.
The long-absent "healing" pop diva reappears at an orphanage.
"Orphanage?" Upon seeing this title, Guangyou recalled what he had said to Yucheng Liuli when he received the cassette tape:
"If you care about making a profit, then go back and donate all the money, for example, to charitable organizations like welfare homes."
At the time, Yu Cheng Liuli agreed without even thinking about it.
He originally said he would donate the money he earned from "Snow Flower," but now there's no news about the song at all online.
"So, it's very likely that Yu Cheng Liuli has been doing charity work all this time?" Guangyou thought to himself, while clicking the link to see the specific report.
