That was the harmonica song that he taught Emma. Other than Emma and him, not a second one knew of this tune throughout all these years. After Emma became missing, during his toughest and darkest days, he had played it thrice. However, for those three times, he was alone in the depths of hell. No one was around him. This rearranged harmonica song was very tough to play.
The leaps between the musical notes were very big. Without a musical foundation, it would be hard to learn it. Emma had a tough time learning it that year. The first time she played the harmonica, she was quite bad. However, she put in a lot of effort and was very talented. After learning for a few days, she was quite adept at it. After her, he did not teach any other person.
When Ye Chu played it, he almost went crazy. He thought that he had finally found Emma and that she was right in front of him. However, he never expected that Ye Chu was not Emma. The girl on the stage, clad in pink, was like a princess that had descended onto Earth. She was playing a song that belonged to them.
As the stage lights fell onto her, it shrouded her in colorful starlight. At that moment, her beauty was unique and charismatic. The harmonica was a lesser-known instrument. While many may know how to play it, only a few could genuinely play it well.
Emma played it extremely well, performing the song that he taught her that year without alteration. She did not even miss a single note. Ye Tingyun looked at Emma on the stage dazedly.
It was solid evidence.
He knew, and he had accepted Emma’s identity. He had also convinced himself that Emma was Emma. Perhaps, it had been his one-sided wish for all these years. Little Emma had long forgotten about him.
However, when this tune came out, he remembered the kiss by little Emma that gently landed on his cheek. Little Emma had said, “Big Brother, you must come and find me.” She said, “When I grow up, I want to be your bride.”
He said, “I will definitely look for you.”
I will protect you for all my life.?
This sweet touching moment was like those in silent films from the old times. The scenes flashed one by one across his mind. Even though it was only a few snippets, he could still feel his heartstrings tugging at that moment.
That was when he started having feelings for a little girl.
He was someone who believed in fate. He knew that she was the person he was looking for the moment he saw him. He had sufficient patience to wait for her to grow up, but he never managed to grow up beside her.
When he met Emma, his situation in Paris was not good. His Big Brother did not want to see him and locked himself up in the castle for the entire day, unwilling to see anyone. Butler Luther said that Big Brother had his own troubles, so he assumed that Big Brother had been thinking about the Ye Family and did not want to see anyone from the Ye Family. He was already in a frustrated mood. He was pinned between the Ye Family and his Big Brother like a sandwich biscuit.
Emotionally, he was leaning towards his Big Brother. However, in his family, there was his biological grandmother and a vast family network. Hence, he could only complain to Emma. Afterward, it was what Emma said that woke him up.
He gave up everything in the Ye Family and started from scratch. He did not want anything in the Ye Family and left it all to be inherited by his Big Brother. He did not like the heavy burden of his family pressing onto him.
Hence, he withdrew from the inheritance competition.
When Emma’s house was burned down, the police said that it was an accident. Back then, he was only a mere teenager. He could not even check the files, let alone have the power to investigate this issue.
He could not track where Emma went.
Luckily, there were no children in the corpses. He thought that perhaps Little Emma was still alive. He went to the Ye Family in Europe to seek help, wanting them to help him find Emma.
However, the European Ye Family raised some conditions for the exchange. They wanted him to become the Ye Family’s heir and follow their orders. That statement drove him off the cliff.. He refused the conditions raised by the European Ye Family while also losing the best conditions to find Emma.
