Falling Overnight

Chapter 43 Life In C Town (Part One)

All of a sudden, she heard some children shouting and laughing nearby. She turned her head and saw several children running towards her while playing. She moved forward and stopped them.

Then she squatted down and took the rest dolls in her hand. These dolls were all what Megan left for her. She cherished them very much in her childhood!

Ivy handed over all these dolls to the kids. Although these dolls were old enough, they were still well protected by her and looked very new.

Those children were all very happy with the dolls in their hands.

Day and night, she finally stood by the bridge with her hands empty. She just felt that she had put a treasure in her heart for the first time. After that, all the things she did not want to think of should have been placed in the peaceful town where she and her sister had a good memory.

From now on, she and Megan were no longer family. In fact, she never hated her sister, nor could she hate her.

The next day, Ivy got up very early and finished her breakfast in a hotel. Then she went to see the cyan boat meeting held in C town every half a year.

C town was extraordinarily lively today. People came and went, and the seaside was crowded, It was a festival when all the drivers in the town competed with each other about singing. Every boat would have a sailor and he would hire a helper.

The helper could be the sailor's family or people whom he didn't know at all. They would sing together and the audience would pick the most tacit songs.

There was no material award or other elements. But such a program was still welcomed by people in C town and other cities.

At the beginning, Ivy was standing in a good place, which was a turn of the bridge. Although she could not see it clearly, it was also a right angle and there was no other people around. What she did not expect was that a boatman would invite her to sing together.

The boatman was an old man, wearing a straw hat and wearing an amiable face. He looked at Ivy who was slightly surprised and said with a smile.

After agreeing to her his invitation, Ivy and the old man went to the town head to choose the number and they happened to draw the last number. She was relieved and began to practice singing seriously at the bow of the ship.

She and the old man chose a song named This Dynasty.

It was an old Cantonese song. She was shocked by the old man. He was good at both charm and music. It made her more determined that she must not let the old man lose face.

Gradually, more and more people came. Ivy calmed down and she cheered herself up for there were some things she could do very well.

"My town is full of your smiles.

Those nights, you and me.

Time has passed and circumstances have changed. I won't regret it.

......"

The people around, the water sound of the small Wade, and the noise seemed to have faded away from her ears. The old man seemed to have deliberately lowered the volume of the voice behind her, which set off her unique soft, graceful voice.

It was the first time for Ivy to sing in front of so many people. She slightly closed her eyes when she was singing.

When Ivy finished singing and said "never regret", she felt her nose sore. She opened her eyes and looked forward. But she find a person standing at the top of the little stone steps where the boat had to stop at the end.

From afar, she could see the faint smile on the man's face as usual. The man stood there in no hurry and looked at her carefully.

He would wait for her to travel alone and pick her up.

That day, the songs of the old man and Ivy won the highest support.

In fact, she was very grateful to the old man. He was experienced and know her feelings well.

When the old man stood in front of her and invited her to sing, he said with a faint smile, "finish the song about letting you go today. Leave it here and you don't need to take it away."

She appreciated the old man from the bottom of her heart, because he encouraged her and gave her recognition. She no longer believed that she was a pathetic woman and she could do things very well.

After saying goodbye to the old man, Ivy climbed up the stone ladder. At the same time, Edgar slightly bent down and pulled her up.

"Why are you here?" Ivy was overjoyed. Looking at Edgar's handsome face in the gentle breeze of C town, she was really satisfied with him.

She thought that Edgar would be back in a few days! She didn't expect that he would come here so soon.

Seeing that Edgar looked tired, she felt warm in her heart. It turned out that someone really cared about her.

Looking at her for a long time, Edgar sighed softly and said impatiently, "you are really sentimental."

When she heard the word "sentimental", she couldn't help chuckling.

"Edgar, you are the one who is unreasonable!" Then she rolled up her sleeves and walked away. She actually wanted to tell him that she had made a mistake again.

But when she saw him again, she suddenly didn't want to explain to him, because she felt that he would understand her.

Edgar followed her unhurriedly. He had been worrying about the little woman these two days.

He was afraid that when he was not in a city, his mother would embarrass ivy, so he finally came back to a city four days in advance. When he arrived at the villa, she was not there.

He panicked and called up his remaining subordinates at 3:00 am. No matter whether these factors would make him more trouble, he needed to know where she was! Since Edward was not here, his father had taken away his rights and he could only use a few people.

When he saw Ivy singing on the ship, his eyes lit up. He had never known her song could be so melodious. He thought she would make some noise, muddled up.

But now he saw the other side of her, like a quiet angel, immersing herself in the boat at the moment. There was also a trace of sadness in the melodious song.

Therefore, Edgar guessed that she had known the company's affairs. Two days ago, his people found out that there were two people who had entered the company together that night, not one person.

Then he asked someone to check the video in the monitoring room. It was obvious that someone had tampered with it.

So he speculated that except Ivy, her sister might have something to do with these events. Obviously, based on her expression, Ivy's sister had told her everything.

The peace in C city was pleasing to his eyes. So he didn't take her home in a hurry this time, because he knew that Ivy needed to be treated at the moment.

In the afternoon, the snack stands on the street were laid out one by one. Ivy began to walk along the street from the moment she saw the food. There were baby foods with rice flour, steamed stuffed buns, spicy food... They tried everything at the end of the street.

At last, she lifted a fish ball and couldn't eat anymore. Thus, she turned around and looked at the man who had been following her and had several snacks. Suddenly, she reached out her hand with the fish ball.

"Edgar, you are a man. How could you be so delicate? How come you get these muscles after eating so little?"

In fact, she knew that Edgar might have some objection to the food sold at these stalls. That's true. How could a rich young man like him love the food sold at such a low price? These are the food the commoners like to eat?

But today, she just wanted to be willful. Seeing her lips pouted up and her lips curled up, Edgar chuckled and lowered his head, nibbling her hand and ate the fish ball.
