CHAPTER 4

Lian and Heizhen are sitting at the front of the house after that energetic breakfast. While the other three are working, Yuno went out to help plant crops. Aizen, the eldest, is out hunting in the mountains; Zeus, the second child, is at a nearby village working on a construction project; and Aries, the fourth child, is copying books for someone at the market. Heizhen, the last and youngest, is simply staying at home because he has had a weak body since he was a child. In exchange, he does all of the family's housework.

"Are you bored, wife?"" Heizhen inquires, noticing Lian's constant sigh.

 

“Hmm? Kind of?”

 

"So, what are your plans? Just let me know, and I'll accompany you."

 

"It's fine," Lian said softly. "I'd like to sit here right now. I don't have enough energy to do anything else."

 

Heizhen nodded, but he appears discouraged. He believes their wife is uneasy with him present.

 

Heizhen's behavior is immediately noticed by Lian, who enjoys observing people.

 

"Would you like to hear me sing?"Heizhen immediately looks up, his face bright.

“Wife knows how?!”Lian was startled by Heizhen’s shout so she moved back wards

“Y-yeah?” she hesitatingly answered

Lian didn’t know why Heizhen has such extreme reaction about singing. Everyone in the modern era knows how to sing no? Though others can’t just hit the notes perfectly but singing is as easy as talking for them.

“Wow, I never thought wife could sing! As you know, only aristocrats from the capital know how to sing and play instruments. Commoners like us don’t know how”

Lian was startled. What? Is singing that hard in here? But back in her own world, even beggars in the street knows how to?

“Then… then wife, can…can you sing for me please?” ugh. Lian almost clutched her chest. What a good looking fellow we have here! Sure! Sure, if that would make you smile brighter, then this sister would even sing forever just for you!

Contrary to her screaming inside her head, Lian appears calm on the outside and just smile softly at Heizhen “alright”

Heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday, waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still

Beauty in all she is

I will be brave

I will not let anything, take away

What's standing in front of me

Every breath, every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday, waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed, I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer

One step closer

I have died everyday, waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed, I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Heizhen was stunned. It’s as if he’s hearing an angel singing. Their wife not only has a nice personality and good looks, she is even so talented! He felt his heart beating so fast throughout the whole time.

Seeing Heizhen not moving or even say anything even after she finish singing, Lian was kind of scared. Is her voice not that great? Didn’t she hit the notes properly? But she is singing this song everyday back in her world so she’s kind of confident on it.

“H-heizhen?”

Heizhen snapped back to reality when he heard her speak

“Y-yes wife?”

“Is it bad? Don’t you like it?”

Heizhen immediately moved closer to Lian and held her both hands before speaking exaggeratedly “I like – no!I love it! I love it so much wife. You’re really really really good at singing! I almost thought that an angel comes down to earth and singing in front of me!”

Lian breath a sighed of relief “ Thanks God.”

“By the way, wife, what is the name of that song? It’s really good.”

“It’s called Thousand Years by Christine Perri. It’s my favorite song” Lian can’t help herself but to smile when she remember her life before.

She will always sing this song every day. It’s because Thousand Years was the favorite song of her mother and she always hear her sing it. Eventually, it became her favorite song too and a day can’t pass by without her singing it. Ahh! How beautiful is her life back then. But she’s not regretting that she came to this world. Because she found a new family. Even though she haven’t met the other brothers yet, she is sure that they will get along well.
