Hey everybody~ Hope your week is going well or I hope it's getting better soon (like mine, I'm crossing fingers).

I previously mentioned to a comment that I would find a song suited for Sunshine, the piece that Lu Xi composes. While it isn't exactly the most fitting to how it's described as gloomy and deep at the beginning and transitioning to a bright, sunny and poignant at the end, I would say it fits about 95%.

It's a solo piano work by Franz Liszt called Liebesträume No. 3 or Dreams of Love in German. It is the most popular of the three solo pieces of these set of the same name and a very technically challenging piece.

Listening to it, I think you could interpret it as the feelings one goes through as they express, feel and experience in the journey of love through the music, which is likely what Lu Xi's audience and Su Jin have felt.

I adore this version by Tiffany Poon...

Alrighty~ Here is Chapter 19!

Let's relax with some tea, everyone~

What is the next phrase after a hero saves a beauty in distress? To pledge oneself to marry their beloved?

Not too long ago, his daughter/little sister had previously mentioned that she did not understand this person. Yet, now she could put down her guard to shower in his home with nary a worry?

Still, when all was said and done, his family's young lady had already entered the bathroom. Since this was the case, while she was still occupied, they could clear up matters first. It would not be good to cause a misunderstanding with the two of them just because of their habitual paranoia.

As they glanced at each other, Su Chenghai and Su Yue immediately understood what the other was thinking as they sat down on the long sofa.

Standing by the table, Lu Xi poured tea for the two men. As that upright body bent slightly, they noticed the sleeves on his white dress shirt were properly folded to his elbows. The black crystal buttons were buttoned up to the second to last one at his sternum. With the shirt collar opened, a view of his alabaster skin was revealed. As the flawlessly white, slender hands held onto the clay teapotand the light green colour of the steeped tea entered the cup, the combination with the white gossamer-thin porcelain reflected a hazy lustre and shine(1).

(1) zǐ shā hú(紫砂壶) - This refers to Yixing clay teapots or also called Purple Sand teapots. They are made from clay that is mined from the region near the city of Yixing. These wares have a variety of designs and types of clay to make them resulting in a variety of colours that are produced from the minerals in the clay. They are prized for creating a more complex flavour to the teas and the value of a pot can vary from a few dollars to a few million.
