“What!”

“Shh, don’t tell anyone.” Harrison Clark made a hushing gesture and motioned for her to focus on the sheet music.

About two hours had passed, Avril Green had scanned the music sheet section by section, and gradually formed a preliminary impression in her mind based on the framework Harrison had played earlier. She seemed to grasp something.

She used the software’s automatic filter function to extract the keyboard part and pointed to the piano room, “Shall we go play the accompaniment? I’ll play the piano, and you play the guitar?”

“Okay.”

After nearly ten minutes, the piano room fell into a long silence.

Avril finally stopped mentioning money.

Her appreciation ability had always been outstanding, so she had already weighed in her heart the value of Across the Starry Sky and was aware of its heavy significance.

Avril took a deep breath, “You’re always full of surprises. Your speed and quality of creation are just astonishing.”

Harrison humbly replied, “You flatter me.”

Avril covered her mouth and chuckled as she looked at him, ‘Your humble appearance really reminds me of someone pretending to be something…

“Uh.”

“Pretentious. Hahahaha…”

She suddenly burst into somewhat hysterical laughter, appearing a little crazy.

Harrison looked at her with concern and wondered if playing her heart-stirring classic rock from a whole too years into the future had overstimulated her and caused her some psychological disorder?

After quite a while, her laughter subsided. However, she then embarrassingly looked at Harrison with flushed cheeks, “This is the first time I’ve ever dared to swear in front of someone. It’s a special experience.

Harrison understood and began to be inwardly vigilant.

He said, “It’s not really appropriate. Hearing such gentle and refined woman like you swearing makes me quite uncomfortable.”

“Okay, I won’t say it anymore.” Avril smoothed her long skirt, Now that we ve talked about me, let’s talk about you. I’ve heard from Carrie Thomas that you always seem to be very busy, constantly pushing yourself. At first, I didn’t believe it since you seemed so easygoing. But I asked around at your company, and they said after you went back to Oxfordshire, you locked yourself in the company for a few days and then sold your song. After that, you simply shut yourself in your rented house, saying you were writing a script?”

Harrison nodded, “Yes.”

-Haven’t you been resting during all these days? Why are you working so hard?

For money? That doesn’t seem like it.”

Harrison wanted to admit that writing a script wasn’t really tiring; it was the scholarly monographs and scientific and technical achievements planning proposals that wore him down.

He replied, “I do it because it makes me happy.”

“Stop lying. I can tell. You should be a very sunny person, but you always give off a sense of melancholy as if you’re carrying a heavy weight all the time. It’s because the things you want to do are far beyond what ordinary people can

imagine, isn’t it?”

Harrison felt that their conversation was eerily familiar, and alarms were ringing in his head.

He couldn’t pretend anymore, or things would definitely go wrong.

So he spread his hands and said nonchalantly, “Don’t think too highly of me. I never wanted to be famous. I just do what I enjoy and live without regrets. I’m not burdened by anything strange. I just do what I like.”

At that point, Avril’s gaze changed.

She understood Harrison’s state of mind.

When people talk to each other, it is not only about the content spoken.

Behind every sentence, there are often hidden meanings that even the speaker themselves might not realize.

Avril did appreciate Harrison even more, but she still wasn’t a decisive and daring person like Carrie Thomas. She didn’t directly speak her mind, only sighing with emotion.

“This era is fortunate to have you.”

“Well that’s a bit of an overstatement, and I can’t take so much praise.

However, Carrie Thomas is even more remarkable. I made a promise with her a few days ago.”

“What?”

Harrison told Avril about the agreement he and Carrie had made.

Not long ago, the atmosphere between them had been very warm and seemed to be heading in a certain direction. But now, it all cooled down.

Avril forced a smile, momentarily lost for words.

However, in her heart, she thought:

It’s not strange for him to be like this.

This is who he is.

“Congratulations to you both.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re really something. Even your confessions to each other are such grand gestures. I’m looking forward to the song Carrie will create.

Harrison: “So am I.”

“But don’t you think it’s too difficult and somewhat unfair to Carrie?”

“How is it fair to me then?”

“True.”

“All I can do is hope for her help. So, there’s not much I can do.”

Avril: “Can’t I try?”

Harrison: “You can’t.”

“Well, I wish you both a lifetime of happiness. It’s getting late; you should go home and rest.”

“Okay, see you later.”

Harrison left.

The words “lifetime of happiness” looked sweet, but who knows if they might also be a curse.

Who can tell what the future holds?

The next morning, Harrison’s rented house welcomed the second uninvited guest.

It was Owen the Fatso.

Harrison didn’t want to let him in to bother him initially, but Owen said he had just finished recording a purely folk album and his brain was overloaded trying to develop both folk and rock music simultaneously. He needed help, so Harrison went out to meet him and brought him into the apartment complex.

But as soon as they met, Owen didn’t discuss any serious matters.

“Master, what happened with you and Lucia yesterday?
