Falling Overnight novel Chapter 43

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.
