Rich woman, I'm starving, time for food!

So, in the Floating Ice Restaurant of the Azure Sky Tower.

"Cheers."

Cheers!

Bai Ge and Eden sat in a good spot by the window, their wine glasses clinking together with a pleasant sound.

The waiters at this level of restaurant are all well-trained, and the guests are all very polite, but at this moment they still can't help but look in Bai Ge and Eden's direction from time to time.

Even though it was already a top-tier restaurant, Eden's arrival still made the manager feel honored. But more importantly, Eden had brought an exceptionally handsome young man to dinner with him that evening.

Moreover, anyone could see Eden's passion.

Unlike in the past when she would occasionally visit and simply admire the night view from the window, tonight this stunning beauty never took her gaze off Bai Ge for even a second.

"I can't believe my eyes, Eden actually has that kind of expression on his face!"

"My God, who exactly is that young man? Could he be the heir to a super conglomerate, or perhaps a prince from a medium-sized country?"

"What are you thinking! Do you think Eden is the kind of person who cares about status and needs to curry favor with others? Look at this video, her concert has gone viral online today!"

"Hiss! This performance... just who is this young man?!"

... 0

The whispers of the people reached Bai Ge's ears.

The Fusion Warrior's five senses are very sharp, but he didn't care because the shop assistants and customers were all very polite and didn't say anything unpleasant. Besides, the important thing right now was the beautiful woman in front of him.

Eden is inviting him to co-star with her in the future, or rather, she hopes that Bai Ge can also debut.

"How about you think it over carefully? With your talent, Bai Ge, once you step onto the stage, you'll definitely become as dazzling as me in the future. I can provide everything."

Eden did not mention any subsequent benefits.

Because she simply wanted Bai Ge to showcase his talent to the world, she was very willing to provide the young man with a stage and use her connections and wealth to pave the way for him.

They don't even ask for the slightest return.

If it were anyone else, they probably would have fainted from excitement by now. However, Bai Ge took a sip of the wine and shook his head in refusal.

"Thank you for your kind offer Eden, but I think you're exaggerating a bit. I'm not confident I can shine as brightly as you, and music isn't... something high-class for me."

"What?" Eden was taken aback.

"Music is just a necessity in my life, but my stage is not in a grand and magnificent dome like yours. It has become a part of my life, and my daily life is the stage for my music."

Bai Ge's words almost made a passing waiter drop his plate. This young man actually refused Eden's invitation. How could anyone in this world refuse Eden's free sponsorship!

Ignoring the astonishment around her, Bai Ge cut off a piece of steak, put it in her mouth, and praised the chef's skills.

Although Eden's proposal was appealing, he had already decided on his own musical style: singing didn't require a glamorous, grand stage; he could sing whenever he wanted.

For Bai Ge, music is a simple and ordinary, but essential, embellishment of life, just like milk tea and candied hawthorn sold on the street, something you can get anytime you want.

"So that's how it is. What a beautiful form."

After a moment of stunned silence, Eden revealed his sincere admiration.

She could understand Bai Ge's feelings, but she couldn't treat music as casually as he did.

Because Bai Ge has many things she cherishes besides music, but the most important thing to Eden is her music.

"But it's also wonderful to perform with you, Eden, on a stage in front of so many people, like today. Ah, it would be nice if it could always be like this."

Bai Ge's fingers moved rhythmically without her noticing.

Although the chef's carefully prepared dishes were delicious, he still savored the lingering charm of their joint performance earlier that day. However, the next second, Bai Ge revealed a regretful expression.

"Unfortunately, that's something I can't do. I have a more important mission to complete right now. After all... if the Honkai doesn't perish, how can I talk about dreams?"

"Bai Ge, who exactly are you...?"

Eden felt somewhat lost and confused. For some reason, she suddenly felt that the boy in front of her was very distant, even though he was sitting right in front of her, less than half a meter away and within reach.

But it gave Eden a feeling that it was as unattainable as the Stars in the sky.

This gave Eden an impulse, and she suddenly stepped forward and took Bai Ge's hand, her beautiful eyes looking serious as she spoke.

"Bai Ge, my friend, can you tell me more about yourself? I really want to know you better."

First update. Please give me flowers, votes, and comments!

"Bai Ge, my friend, can you tell me more about yourself? I really want to know you better."

Eden felt like a bee drawn by the scent of unknown nectar; she instinctively wanted to learn more about Bai Ge and what his life experiences were like.

That's what allowed him to play such a special melody.

Bai Ge raised an eyebrow as he looked at Eden grabbing his hand, then at the other's dazzling golden eyes, and immediately understood.

This is yet another woman influenced by curiosity.

She's another woman who wants to uncover her own secrets.

Bai Ge's first reaction was helplessness, but the next second he welcomed Eden.

"I can tell you my story, but Eden, you'd better be prepared. We'd better sign a waiver or something. I won't be responsible if anything goes wrong."

"Hmm? Does it really require paying a high price just to understand you, Bai Ge?"

"In a way, yes. So far, every woman who says she wants to understand me seems to have fallen in love with me, Eden ~ If you accidentally get poisoned by me, it will be very dangerous."

Bai Ge grasped Eden's jade hand in return, placed it to his lips, and gently kissed the back of her hand. His eyes were cunning and wicked, and he put on an air of "I'm a bad man."

To this day, many people want to explore this sea called Bai Ge. Among them are the Herrscher of Thunder who can make pots and pans submit, the genius mathematician Bronya who proved that 8 > 50,000, the extremely cute Kiana, the beautiful and flawless Pink Fairy Lady, and so on.

As a result, all of these people were shipwrecked and drowned forever at the bottom of the sea, never to be able to reach the shore in this lifetime.

It doesn't matter if these people drown, but if even Eden drowns in this sea, the consequences would be severe.

After all, there were only two kinds of people in the Previous Civilization: those who had never heard Eden's songs and those who were Eden's fans.

This entire generation are her fans; billions of online fans are no exaggeration. If someone like Eden were to accidentally fall in love with "970" Bai Ge...

The self-destruction rate of Previous Civilization will skyrocket.

Bai Ge was even a little worried that if the Herrscher descended but not many people died, and then Eden announced that he had fallen in love with him, a bunch of people would commit suicide. That would really be a dangerous combination.

The former does indeed possess the charm to make the other person fall in love with them.

The latter does indeed have a global influence.

Putting everything else aside, if Eden were to go to the United States and say that she wants to be president, her approval rating would definitely crush that of old man Deng and our dear comrade Trump.

"This makes me even more interested. Please let me try, Bai Ge. Just so you know, despite my appearance, I've never been in a relationship before."

Eden chuckled softly, showing no sign of backing down.

And Bai Ge's words made her even more curious.

Although Eden didn't know what love was, she didn't think it was more wonderful than the feeling of spiritual intertwining and soul sublimation she experienced when she and Bai Ge were playing together.

And if, by any chance, she really does fall in love with Bai Ge, then she can just keep it a secret from everyone and date him secretly.

Thinking about it, it's quite a sassy thing to do. After all, given her status as a symbol of her era, Eden's secret relationship with her fans is tantamount to keeping it a secret from the whole world.

"Okay, I did warn you."

Bai Ge handed his terminal to Eden, then shook the golden bell on the table. Immediately, a waiter came over and ran to get the violin after hearing Bai Ge's instructions.

Such upscale restaurants are always equipped with a variety of props to meet the guests' needs on the fly. Bai Ge casually asked for a musical instrument, and the latter quickly brought out a violin.

"You and I are both singers, so we must understand that for people like us, music can express ourselves better than words."

"Yes, my friend, I'm so glad to hear you play again today. I'm so lucky."

Eden opened the recording on her terminal, swirled the red wine in her glass, and looked at Bai Ge expectantly.

The supreme sound following fine food and wine is a rare enjoyment even for Eden.

However, she soon lost her appetite for alcohol.

Clank--!

As if tearing through the air, the vivid sound flew into Eden's ears.

Eden looked on incredulously. This was a different timbre from the kingly voice she heard at the concert, but she could tell that it was the same timbre that represented Bai Ge's true self.

(Unbelievable, Bai Ge, you are more complex than the most layered wine in the world, but why is this voice so melancholic?)

It's not just about sadness.

It is also about loneliness, persistence, resilience, and indomitable spirit!

Eden involuntarily closed his eyes.

She seemed to see a prisoner resisting the shackles of fate, wounded and with little hope, yet still unwilling to kneel and submit.

Like a white bird imprisoned in a beautiful cage, it is desperately trying to break free of its cage, even if it is bleeding from its head, it still tries to fly to the sky of freedom.

But that's not all. Through the Eden of Music, she gained a bridge that led directly to Bai Ge's heart. At this moment, she was closer to Bai Ge's essence than anyone else in the world.

Then she suddenly discovered it.
