In the crowd’s attention, Stanley Batton had Xyla Quest on his arm as they walked onto the stage.
Then, the two of them sat side by side in front of the Chinese zither.
After Xyla had done adjusting the microphone in front of her, the two of them began to sing and play the zither together, according to what they had discussed earlier.
Stanley started the song. “Listen to the lonely disconsolate flute, in the endless night deep in the clouds.”
Xyla continued, “Right and wrong are all in the past. They’re merely dreams when I wake up.”
Stanley followed, “How can we measure the praises, blames, gains, and losses…”
Together, they sang in unison. “Fiery blood is rustling from the cold blade.”
Though this was the first time the two of them sang together, they made a perfect combination on the stage.
Whether it was the Chinese zither, or the singing, they were all pretty outstanding.
The audience was truly amazed by the chemistry between them.
Those who were originally skeptical of their performance began to nod their heads as well.
On the other hand, May Conner, Bailey Ronson, Emily Quest and Tom Sullivan were all dumbfounded.
None of them had ever imagined that the two of them would be able to work together so well.
On top of that, they had no idea how beautiful their voices were. They could not deny that their rendition of some parts of the song was better than the original soundtrack.
As Bailey and May looked at how excited the crowd was, they were both under the weather, as if needles pricked their hearts.
Who knew that their plan not only failed to embarrass Xyla and Stanley, but it attracted even more attention to the two of them?
However, the lovebirds on the stage were totally unaffected by anyone or anything off stage. They were deeply immersed in their own performance.
They were the perfect definition of love.
