Shen Yiyue looked at Ji Mengyao who was already getting angry and tried to persuade her.

She picked up an empty bottle of wine, which showed the alcohol content: 2.2%.

No, can you get drunk just by drinking this kind of juice? This guy was clamoring to drink, but he turned out to be so weak.

They had already finished their meal and were sitting around the sofas in the living room. There were a number of empty wine bottles on the coffee table.

Ning Yu next to him had already drunk several bottles of strawberry passion fruit flavored drinks, but there was no reaction on her face.

He was resting comfortably on the sofa, and would occasionally interrupt to say a few words.

Almost half of the wine that Ji Mengyao brought had been drunk.

"What are you talking about! I haven't finished drinking yet!"

Ji Mengyao waved her hand, looking like a drunk trying to hold on, and picked up another bottle from the ground and opened it.

"Wu Di, you should also persuade her. Uh."

Shen Yiyue was just about to ask Wu Di to stop her from being stubborn.

It turned out that Ji Mengyao stuffed another bottle into Wu Di's hand.

"Give it to me!"

Wu Di took it innocently, and then Ji Mengyao's cup clinked with his.

He could only drink with her again in silence.

Shen Yiyue covered her face and ignored the two of them, with an expression that said, "Do whatever you want."

Suddenly, Ji Mengyao caught a glimpse of a neatly placed electric piano next to the window and showed a curious look: "Huh? Whose is this?"

"I got it at the base today."

Ning Yu answered.

"Xiaoyu, can you play the piano?"

Shen Yiyue heard a skill that Ning Yu had never mentioned before, and handed a piece of jerky to Ning Yu.

"Not a lot."

Ning Yu bit her jerky and answered vaguely.

"Really?! Come on, now is the time, let's enjoy it~~!"

Ji Mengyao seemed to be interested. She put the wine bottle aside and urged Ning Yu to play something.

"You guys wanna hear it?"

Wu Di didn't react much. He probably didn't care about this. He just nodded politely to cooperate with Ji Mengyao.

Ji Mengyao nodded excitedly, looking very expectant, her face flushed with alcohol.

"You want to hear it too?"

Ning Yu saw Shen Yiyue next to her also secretly glancing at her, so she turned her head and stared at Shen Yiyue.

Of course Shen Yiyue wanted to listen, but she was afraid that Ning Yu might not want to play, so she said awkwardly:

"I can do either, but it depends on you, Xiaoyu."

Seeing that she wanted to hear it but was too embarrassed to say it, Ning Yu poked her forehead.

"Just tell me what you want to hear, idiot."

"Hey hey hey."

Shen Yiyue covered her forehead and smiled foolishly, only then did she realize that her thoughts were written all over her face.

[Ding! Mission: The progress of Near and Far has been updated! ]

[Mission: Close and Far (3/?) Agree to Ji Mengyao's request]

?

Ning Yu was a little confused. Could such a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere of chatting and playing the piano after dinner also trigger a task progress update? She slowly walked to the electric piano that she had just replaced today and turned on the power switch.

She sat down gracefully on the piano stool, raised her hands to push her soft silver hair outwards, letting it fall on her gauze skirt.

Ning Yu thought for a while, and then something seemed to flash in his mind, as if he had thought of something.

This song shouldn't exist in this world, right?

“Let me play and sing a song.”

She spoke.

He slowly placed his hands on the white keys and pressed the pedal with his foot to start playing.

The prelude begins, consisting of F and F augmented triads.

The F chord, which originally sounded gentle and peaceful, suddenly had an ethereal feeling with the addition of the augmented triad with a very close interval.

After the chord inversion, the two chords are only one key different, but the atmosphere suddenly changed completely.

It feels as if you are in the boundless Milky Way, taking a slow walk along the track paved by stars.

The small apartment began to be filled with a romantic atmosphere, and the moonlight quietly sprinkled on Ning Yu's slender fingers as she played the piano.

Ji Mengyao, who was originally dazed, suddenly opened her eyes wide. This was a melody she had never heard before, but she felt it was warm and friendly.

Shen Yiyue also lay on the sofa in reverse, put her head on the back of the sofa, and stared at Ning Yu's graceful figure playing the piano.

After the prelude ended, Ning Yu slowly began to sing:

"Fascinated by your eyes"

"The Milky Way has traces to follow"

"Through the gap in time"

“It’s still real”

It is a sweet, soft, and emotional sound that seems to flow directly from the ears into the soul.

Several people were immediately attracted by Ning Yu's singing and held their breath.

She just played simple broken chords, from F to F augmented third to F6 and then to F dominant 7, progressing layer by layer.

A gradual rise is formed from 1 to #1 to 2 to #2.

With every semitone rise, it seemed as if there were little stars in the Milky Way, lighting up layer by layer.

When Ji Mengyao saw Ning Yu's playing technique, she couldn't help nodding in praise, and felt that the techniques used here were very beautiful.

Soon things changed.

"Wait till you see the silver edge."

"Wait until you can't tell the seasons apart."

"I dare say I'm addicted."

Ning Yu's singing paused, but the performance became more intense. The main song had ended and it was time to enter the chorus.

Her left hand begins to move downward, making the entire melody heavier and creating a climax leading into the chorus:

"How far will it take to get into your heart?"

"How long will it take before I can get close to you?"

Her voice seemed to be telling some long-lost story, with a subtle and helpless sadness.

The singer is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Ji Mengyao was suddenly stunned. She was no longer paying attention to Ning Yu's playing skills. Instead, she felt as if the lyrics had grabbed her heart.

I feel some inexplicable pain in my chest.

"How long will it take to enter your heart and how long will it take to get close to you"

She moved her lips and silently repeated the two lines of lyrics that Ning Yu had just sung.

In the small apartment, the people listening to the song were completely lost in their own thoughts. Ning Yu's singing seemed to give them a kind of shock that they had not experienced in a long time.

After a while, Ning Yu's voice began to rise to a high point: "How to explore."

"How lucky."

"I dare you to find that you are not alone."

"When I can still fly with you again."

The song had reached its climax. Ning Yu slowly closed her eyes, as if she was floating in the lonely and cold space.

Hearing such a moving voice, Shen Yiyue found it difficult to suppress her emotions. She felt as if there was something difficult to convey that was about to burst out from this song.

One can't help but be immersed in the story it tells.

“Traveling around is boring”

"At least you can."

"With you."

Towards the end, Ning Yu's voice gradually became low and gentle, and this beautiful but sad story came to an end.

When she paused the final arpeggio, she turned her head.

Looking at the few people who were stunned by what they heard, their expressions were different.

Ning Yu felt sympathetic:

Here I am, traveling to the end of the world, playing and singing a song from my previous life for my friends.
