"You look a lot like that person." Qi Xia unhurriedly spoke, after a long while.

"Who?" The female singer wondered.

"I don't know."

"You're teasing me!"

"I’m not. You looked very similar, but also not." Qi Xia stared at her face and suddenly stretched out his hand to cover her eyes.

At that moment, Qi Xia's heart jumped slightly.

"You look exactly like her, but your eyes are different." Qi Xia suddenly smiled. The figure in his dream might look just like this. As long as she closed her eyes, it was as if that person had walked out of his dream.

The bitterness and pain in his heart were finally relieved, but the greater emptiness filled his entire heart.

"Who are you talking about?" The female singer was confused by Qi Xia's actions.

"I don't know." Qi Xia smiled lightly. He wasn’t lying nor teasing her. No matter how he thought and remembered, he could not find the name of the person in his memory.

Qi Xia loosened his grip on the female singer's wrist. He turned to leave without taking another look at her face.

"The bags of gold coins on the table are all for you." Qi Xia said.

The female singer did not look at the bags of gold coins on the table, but looked at Qi Xia's departing back. For some reason, under the moonlight, the youngster who spoke with laughter earlier had a back full of loneliness. The light of the moon sprinkled on his figure and made people feel a hand clutching their hearts.

The female singer suddenly shouted at Qi Xia's back, "Little Third Qi!"

"Hm?" Qi Xia stopped but did not turn back.

"Will you come back tomorrow?" She asked.

Qi Xia was silent for a moment before shaking his head.

"I won’t come to Qin Music Hall again."

"Why?"

"There is no reason."

The female singer sucked her lips.

"Is it because of the person that looks a lot like me?"

Qi Xia remained silent.

"You came to Qin Music Hall these past few days because you thought my eyes resembled hers, right?"

Qi Xia still did not answer her question.

"Since you said I looked exactly like her, why won’t you come anymore?" The female singer seemed to be searching for an answer. Her voice was as calm as when she sang.

"You look like her, but you’re not her. I don't know who she is, but when I see you, I am reminded of her. I seem to remember this person. Your temperament is a little bit like her, but you’re still not her. I found a trace of her existence from you, but you are not the person I am looking for in the end. Since you are not her, why should I cling to one with a similar appearance?" Qi Xia's voice echoed in the silent back garden.

Appearance was just appearance. Qi Xia was very clear that what he cared about was not the outward form of a person. The female singer was very beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. But when he really looked at her face closely, he could not ignore the disappointment in his heart.

Similar temperament, similar appearance, but it was missing the most crucial point.

The brilliance that he was looking for couldn’t be seen in her eyes.

She, after all, was not the person in his dream.

Again, no matter how very much alike they were, this was still not her.

"Are you really not coming anymore?" The female singer asked.

"Yes."

"I see. Can I ask one last question?" She asked again.

"Sure, do speak."

"Do you love her? The person who looks very much like me." The female singer’s voice appeared particularly loud in the quiet garden.

When her voice fell to the ground, Qi Xia's figure froze in place. Even though he was covered with clothes, his tense body still showed his nervousness.

"Do you love her?" The female singer's voice, like a magic spell, hung over Qi Xia's ears.
