Trial Of Love Chapter 23 - Reach For The Stars

Elizabeth was given a two-day break from shooting. Since she had nothing to do at home, she went to the company to see if there is anything interesting to do.

As she was heading to w.a.n.g Ji's office, she noticed one of the company's new singers was looking depressed in one of the company lounge rooms. The room was chaotic and there were piles of paper everywhere. She quietly steps inside and picked one of the scramble papers and opened it.

"The lyrics aren't that bad."

It startled the young boy as he turned around to see who it was. He quickly tided himself up and greeted the person who just came in, "Sis Li Zi, sorry for all the mess."

"No biggy."

Whilst the boy picked up the pieces of paper on the floor, Elizabeth notice the dark clouds around him, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No, I can do this myself..."

"I didn't mean picking the paper on the floor, I mean to help you cheer up?"

"I'm fine Sis Li Zi," he made a fake smile.

"Tell me what's wrong?"

The boy gave up and sighed, "The music company I'm sighed with is pressuring me to release a new song. I only have until tomorrow to write a new song or they'll cancel my contract."

"I see..."

"The worst part, this is the first time I'm writing my own song."

"Then let me help you, but first you need to fix yourself."

The young boy smiled embarra.s.s of how he looked.

"Once you're done, meet me outside the company."

Once he was done cleaning the lounge room, he went to freshen up himself. Afterward, he went outside the company building and waited for the girl.

Moments later, a silver BMW stop in front of the young boy. The pa.s.senger's window then rolled down and a familiar person's voice shouted out. "Lu Han."

Lu Han moved closer to the car as he saw who was inside the car. "Sis Li Zi?"

"Get in."

Lu Han quickly got inside the incredible car, it was the first time he ever rode such a luxurious car.

"Sis Li Zi I didn't know you were..."

"I just borrowed it, this isn't mine but my friend."

However, Lu Han was not convinced since she joined the company people saw her being dropped off by such a luxurious car.

'I wonder why Sis Li Zi won't admit that she from a rich family. Could it be she's married already? Could this so call friend be her boyfriend or lover?'

"Lu Han before we go I need to ask you something?"

"What is it Sis Li Zi?"

"Do you trust me?"

"Of course I do, why..?"

"Then hold on tight." She smiled as she started the car and step on the gas making such roaring sound.

Along the highway, Elizabeth was driving at such speed as if she was in a racetrack. Lu Han was so frightened when he saw the speed meter has gone over 90 and almost at 100. He stayed quiet and kept everything to himself.

'What the h.e.l.l is going on? Who is this girl beside me? I really wish she'll slow down a bit.'

It surprises Lu Han when they reach the outskirt of the city in no time and was closing to the country road. As they reach the countryside, Elizabeth pressed a b.u.t.ton which then automatically opened the roof of the car. At the bright light blinds them and the fresh breeze blew across them. She took a quick glimpse at the young boy beside her who was smiling from ear to ear.

"Sis Li Zi this is amazing."

"I'm glad you like it."

As they stop by and visited some of the historical places, forest parks, and museums in the area.

Lu Han was already filled with so much life as inspiration and ideas flow into his mind like a river.

"Did you have fun?"

"Of course, Sis Li Zi thank you."

It was already sunset when they returned to the company.

Elizabeth stops in front of the company to drop Lu Han off.

"Sis Li Zi thank you."

"You go ahead, I'll just park the car."

Back in the lounge room, Lu Han was already working on the song melody when the girl arrived. Seeing the young boy working so hard, she realized something and grab her phone out.

"So you're working on the melody already?"

"Sis Li Zi, your back," Lu Han said as he places the guitar down and greeted her, "I've also written the first verse but I'm not so sure if it's that good."

"Let me see."

Lu Han handed her the music sheet as she sat down on one of the couch. Lu Han was so anxious as she stared eagerly at her who was reading the lyrics carefully.

"The lyrics aren't that bad, but we need to change some of them to make sure they'll harmonize with the melody later."

As the two of them work on the lyrics and melody together. Lu Han could not help it but be curious if whether she was a musician before.

'I wonder if Sis Li Zi was a music artist before. The fact she has such a nice voice when she serenaded Mrs. Chen and she could make the song on the spot.'

After working for a few hours, a man came knocking at the door. "Excuse me, Miss Li Zi?"

"That's me," She smiled as she walked towards the door.

"That would be 548.50."

"Here and keep the change..." She then grabs the food and drinks and placed them on the table. She prepared the table as she called the boy over, "Lu Han, come let's energize our brain."

Lu Han stood up from the floor and joined the girl at the table as they dine together.

After they finished eating, Lu Han went back to work whilst she cleared the place up. She then excused herself since she needs to call home and inform them that she won't be coming back.

When Elizabeth step back inside the room, she gazed at the boy who was fast asleep on the floor still holding onto the pen whilst the guitar beside him.

She went to the closet and grab a blanket and covered the boy, lifted his head slightly to place the pillow.

Seeing the boy working so hard until he pa.s.sed out just made Elizabeth smiled, she realized everyone in the company really are working hard just like w.a.n.g Ji mentioned.

"Reach for the stars Lu Han."

As the young boy drifted off to sleep, he felt like he was dreaming of an angelic voice singing for him as he soon dreamt that his dreams of being a top singer came into reality.
