"You are a little off the track, honey." Zac seemed to avoid this topic on purpose and reminded her.
As if she hadn't heard him, Essie continued, "Last time I saw a story on the magazine. There was a couple who survived the earthquake. They cherished each other very much. Every morning when they woke up, they would express their love to each other."
"Show off your love will not end up good. You just need to know it in your heart. Don't show it too obviously," Zac said slowly, as if he didn't care about it at all.
But Essie cared. As a fashion designer, she had a deep pursuit of romance. She just wanted to hear the scheming devil say to her seriously, 'I love you'.
"If you don't tell others, how do they know? They are not your mind reader." She rolled her eyes at him. Her IQ was two hundred plus. She was so slow in reaction that she almost blurted out her thoughts. He didn't understand at all. Was he infected by her confused genes?
Zac's deep ice eyes flickered under the light, and a hint of cunning flashed across his eyes. "Honey, do you have something to say to me?"
"Damn you!" She angrily kicked his calf. She was depressed, sad and disappointed. She decided not to let this dull guy touch her for three days as a punishment!
Zac shook his head and sighed. He forgave her willfulness. After all, he spoiled this little woman.
At the backstage, Eva was putting on makeup. Since she was 'humiliated' by Jim last time, she wished she could never see Jim again for the rest of her life. Fortunately, in the past two days, Jim was busy preparing for the concert, and had no time to call her to 'serve' for dinner.
When Jim came in, he glanced at Eva. Eva pretended not to see him and turned her head to the other side. He was keenly aware of it. With an evil smile at the corners of his mouth, he ignored her and walked out.
When Jim was performing, Eva was secretly watching at the backstage. Although she didn't want to see him at all, his stage was so charming that she couldn't help but turn her eyes to him. And his voice was full of indescribable magnetic, and even the stone seemed to be melted into water, not to mention her soft heart.
He stood in the center of the stage, shining like the rising sun, like the bright moon and the explosion of a super star. Mortals could only look up at him.
After the fourth song, it was her turn to sing. The first one was her solo, 'A Little Bird'. And the second one was the theme song of the 'War Emperor', which she and Jim sang together.
When she started singing 'A Little Bird', Mili's jaw almost dropped. "Does aunt Eva here to make fun?"
"This song is a reflection of aunt Eva's life. It's the most suitable one for aunt Eva to sing," Dot touched his chin and said seriously.
"That's true." Mili covered her mouth and chuckled.
