\u201cIt\u2019s title is\u2014\u2014\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201c\u300aThe twilight in the moonlight\u300b.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

In the dim room, the man\u2019s sweet, rich voice resounded in Qi Mu\u2019s ears. The next moment, the piano\u2019s clear sound filled the room.<\/span><\/p>

It was a gentle adagio. Each key corresponded to a soft, singing tune. The tone was low and melodious, akin to a sea breeze on a moonlit night. Even the ending tremolo was ethereal.<\/span><\/p>

Min Chen was right. This adagio was really slow, so slow that even Qi Mu could follow and keep up with his fingers.<\/span><\/p>

Even in his first life, Qi Mu had never played the piano. This was his first time.<\/span><\/p>

He watched as his fingers danced across the black and white keys. It was so fascinating, he couldn\u2019t help but get excited.<\/span><\/p>

Under his fingers were Min Chen\u2019s calm and steady ones. If Qi Mu\u2019s fingers were like a child\u2019s first steps, there was no doubt…<\/span><\/p>

Min Chen\u2019s fingers were like a man standing on top of the world.<\/span><\/p>

At first, Qi Mu only felt the novelty of playing the piano. But as the piece went on, he began to immerse himself in the music.<\/span><\/p>

In the soft, beautiful melody, he saw a brilliant beam of moonlight. As clear as water, the world was shrouded in its cold glow. However, a long, narrow ribbon split the world in two, the dividing line between sea and sky.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The setting sun gradually sank, but hung firmly over the sea, dyeing the vast sky with its dazzling light. Looking as if they were puffs of steam, the clouds lingered over the distant sea.<\/span><\/p>

The two wonders that shouldn\u2019t coexist, moonlight and twilight. But, they were both present, silently competing. However, neither was more brilliant than the other. They only enveloped the world below in their masterful scene.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The melody stopped but Qi Mu was so immersed, he didn\u2019t return from his reverie.<\/span><\/p>

After a long time, he grabbed the man\u2019s arm and looked up to him. Softly, he asked, \u201cTwilight in the moonlight?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Min Chen met his gaze and nodded, then whispered, \u201cYes, it\u2019s \u300aTwilight in the Moonlight\u300b.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu had always been smart. If he wasn\u2019t, he wouldn\u2019t have been able to live so peacefully in the orphanage. If he wasn\u2019t smart, he wouldn\u2019t have been able to keep what was left of the inheritance from his adoptive parents when they passed away. And if he wasn\u2019t smart enough, he wouldn\u2019t have been the deputy concertmaster of Wei Jiao by the virtue of his own strength.<\/span><\/p>

Such a name, and such feelings brewed into the melody, inexplicably reminded him of several memories.<\/span><\/p>

In the end, Qi Mu couldn\u2019t stop himself from smiling. \u201cYou seldom write such a soothing piece, Min Chen. You used to pay more attention to skills, like your \u300aD Major\u300b that was completely for professional musicians.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

At this, Min Chen elegantly raised an eyebrow. He was very interested in hearing the youth\u2019s evaluation of him.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAlthough your music style varies, you still retained the German style of classical music. In fact, your music is still dominated by it. It\u2019s very orthodox, formal, and magnificent. But this \u300aTwilight in the Moonlight\u300b, I think\u2026 you\u2019ve made a great change in your style. If Mr. Lyon heard the melody you just played, he might write a long and colorful review on it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Having finished the short, unfinished piece, Min Chen gently held Qi Mu\u2019s waist with his left hand. With his right hand still resting on the keys, he looked at the young man and said, \u201cI was inspired by something and came up with this song. I saw my Muse Goddess on a moonlit night, though\u2026 God cast the wrong gender.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Of course Qi Mu knew what he meant. Raising his eyebrows, he said, \u201cOh? How pitiful your Muse Goddess is. Why don\u2019t you find another one?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Seeing the young man pretend to be angry, Min Chen smiled, then shook his head. \u201cBut it\u2019s him that I want, not a goddess.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cBut he doesn\u2019t need you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

As soon as his voice fell, Min Chen pulled Qi Mu\u2019s waist forward, until he fell into his warm chest. Raising his head, Qi Mu saw Min Chen with his lips slightly curled up. He murmured, \u201cReally?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

With this question, a warm, familiar breath swept across Qi Mu\u2019s lips.<\/span><\/p>

After several months of separation, seeing the man again and meeting him with such a passionate kiss, it was impossible for Qi Mu to not be moved. Sitting sideways on the black stool, he wrapped his arms around the man\u2019s waist and responded to the kiss.<\/span><\/p>

Min Chen\u2019s left hand tightly wound around Qi Mu\u2019s waist while his right hand caressed his hair. The tip of his tongue swept through a familiar space, sucking against his lover\u2019s with each breath. When he got a response, the temperature instantly rose.<\/span><\/p>

The rhythm between their lips and tongue created an ambiguous sound in the quiet piano room. In such a dim environment, Qi Mu felt his mind gradually dulling, until only the man he loved was left in his sight, and they…<\/span><\/p>

They hadn\u2019t seen each other for a long time.<\/span><\/p>

Such warmth, such tolerance, such love that was as deep as the ocean, he was unable to restrain himself. He even acquiesced the man to the next step.<\/span><\/p>

(For the complete version of this chapter, please refer to the Author’s Note.)<\/b><\/p>

Qi Mu rested on top of Min Chen, hugging him gently and exchanging warm kisses.<\/span><\/p>

Min Chen carefully kissed the corner of Qi Mu\u2019s ears, kissing away the physiological tears overflowing from the intense pleasure. They kissed as embraced each other, gradually slipping into another heated love affair.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

When Qi Mu woke the next day, he was promptly folded by the pain in his waist.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cCough\u2026 It hurts\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Feeling like he\u2019d been run over by a car, Qi Mu collapsed on a soft pillow and opened his eyes in a daze. For a moment, he couldn\u2019t react.<\/span><\/p>

Only when the familiar footsteps padded in from the doorway did he wake again. Instantly, he grabbed a pillow and hid his face in it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As soon as he stepped inside, Min Chen saw a black head of hair burying itself like an ostrich. \u201c…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Love and lust were truly evil!<\/span><\/p>

Thinking of how he had fallen under lust and made those ambiguous sounds, Qi Mu almost collapsed.<\/span><\/p>

How could that kind of sound come from his throat?!<\/span><\/p>

Well\u2026 It was<\/span> an illusion, it had to be!<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHave some food, I made porridge.\u201d The man\u2019s voice was low and helpless.<\/span><\/p>

The soft quilt Qi Mu was lying on suddenly sank and he shifted, expressing his reply in action.<\/span> I\u2019m not eating, absolutely not!<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Seeing the young man\u2019s actions practically screaming, \u201cI won\u2019t move this pillow even if I die\u201d, Min Chen smiled softly, still holding the porridge for Qi Mu. After some thought, he said, \u201cWell, you need to rest a bit. So I called the Palisade Theatre this morning to ask for a leave for you, and your conductor, Wallace, happened to answer\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu stiffened.<\/span><\/p>

Min Chen continued, \u201cWell, he asked me who I was and I said I was Auston Bertram. He sounded surprised, then asked what happened, and I told him\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhat did you tell him?!!!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Throwing the pillow aside, Qi Mu stared at the man with wide eyes.<\/span><\/p>

With great foresight, Min Chen grabbed the pillow and placed it on the edge of the bed. Offering the small bowl in his hand, he whispered, \u201cWell, I lied to you. I told Daniel to do it, I didn\u2019t call the Palisade, myself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Although the young man still wore an expression that said, \u201cI don\u2019t want to pay any attention to you\u201d, at least he was agreeing to eat his porridge.<\/span><\/p>

Handing the spoon over, Min Cheng caught sight of his pale face and he frowned. In a whisper, he asked, \u201cIs your behind uncomfortable?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu choked on the porridge. \u201c<\/span>Cough, cough, cough\u2026<\/span><\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Finally, Qi Mu gnashed his teeth and said, \u201cIt\u2019s fine, but there\u2019s some pain in my waist.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

After the second round, Qi Mu was quite groggy. He vaguely remembered Min Chen carrying him to the bathroom to clean him. After that, he thought there might\u2019ve been a third round, which he couldn\u2019t bear to think of\u2026\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu covered his face with his hands. He swore to himself that he wouldn\u2019t pay any attention to Min Chen for the entire day!<\/span><\/p>

But Min Chen\u2019s next words left him mortified.\u00a0 \u201cBy the way, when he heard about you, Lance called your phone. It was a little over half an hour ago. He called three times and I answered the last one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu had a bad premonition. \u201c…What happened then?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHe asked me what happened to you,\u201d Min Chen continued, looking calm. \u201cI told him you weren\u2019t feeling well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHe asked me if I was taking care of you and I said I was. Then, he asked when I returned and I said yesterday. Finally, he asked why you weren\u2019t feeling well and I said\u2014\u2014\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Min Chen\u2019s face was blank. \u201cBecause your little girlfriend is back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c……………………\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
