Standing before Pela, Lin Feng gazed up at the sky, plucking the strings of his bass as he finished singing the song called "Happiness."

There were many definitions of happiness, and this song explained it all simply and concisely.

Fulfilling a wish could bring happiness, and abandoning a wish completely could also bring happiness. Yet people were always complicated, often clinging to happiness they could never attain, and so they felt pain and disappointment.

This... was another path I never imagined...

What a profound understanding of life. Just what must someone have experienced to write lyrics like these...

At a station where snowflakes fall, what would my wish be?

Should I choose to hold on to my wish, or abandon it completely? The former... should be better, right?

Watching Lin Feng perform so soulfully right before her, Pela found herself absorbed, almost mesmerized.

Through Lin Feng's voice, Pela could feel the depth of feeling and care he had put into it. Was this slightly sorrowful song about love, or an understanding of happiness? For a moment, she was a little confused.

Still, receiving a song personally given to her by Mr. Lin Feng was a wonderful surprise for Pela.

At least Mr. Lin Feng had not judged her because of what happened at noon. He truly treated her as a fellow band member.

"Your city is just outside the window"... that sounds like Belobog.

"I'm on a train receding like a star"... wouldn't that be the Astral Express?

As for the two paths to happiness, does Mr. Lin Feng want me to...

What a melancholy mood. Is Mr. Lin Feng going to leave soon...? That would be a bit of a shame...

With somewhat complicated feelings, Pela's thoughts gradually drifted away as she immersed herself in the beautiful, captivating melody.
