When Cheng Baodong was discussing with his agent how to bow down to Tao Mu, Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng were called to the Li family mansion by the elders of the two families. Then, under the eager gazes of all the elders, they were like two large real-life dolls, letting the designers toss them around with a painful look on their faces.
"I think a Chinese-style wedding is better." Mr. Song sat on a wide and comfortable sofa, crossed his legs, holding a cup of tea, watching the designer measure the sizes of the two children while explaining to them what patterns should be embroidered on the wedding clothes the two children would wear on the day of the engagement ceremony. My thoughts inevitably go back to the long time ago, when the Song family had lived together for several generations and was thriving. He said with a little regret: "I still remember our Song family back then——"
Mr. Song just said this and stopped abruptly. Perhaps he thought that the Song family would end up in a bad way, and it would be unlucky to mention it at this time. Before anyone else could react, Mr. Song, who was already suspicious, sighed and calmly changed the subject: "Chinese weddings are lively."
"And our son looks really handsome in his groom's suit." The old man of the Li family said with a smile, "The bright red suit looks festive. It means that the two children will have a prosperous life after marriage, which is a good omen."
"That's right!" He was glad that someone finally wanted him. When they made their relationship public, he had promised that everything would be done according to Tao Mu's requirements. Now that his in-laws asked for a Chinese-style engagement ceremony, the Li family would of course satisfy this requirement.
So the two children were called to the ancestral home early in the morning to have their sizes measured and their clothes ordered, and also to decide on the cakes and desserts for the engagement ceremony. As the head of Song's business, Mr. Song had learned how to prepare various state banquets from his ancestors. Now that his only grandson was going to have an engagement ceremony, Mr. Song, who had not been involved in the event for a long time, suddenly felt like giving it a try and decided to take over all the dishes and desserts for the ceremony. He might as well lead the apprentices from Song's Cooking School to run it himself. As for drinks, Mr. Song rolled up his sleeves and was also interested in brewing his own.
The Li family knew about Mr. Song's abilities, but they were also concerned about his advanced age. They were afraid that organizing the engagement ceremony would be too tiring and would tire the old man out. I didn't agree at first. Later, Tao Mu understood Mr. Song's heart knot - the Song family motto was that whenever there were weddings or funerals for the family members, all banquets had to be organized by their own family. For example, weddings are organized by the elders, while birthday banquets or funerals are organized by the younger generations. Mr. Song treated Tao Mu as his own grandson, and even gave the Songji sign to Tao Mu. Of course, we also hope that we can follow our ancestral teachings and rules at this time.
Tao Mu knew that the Song family had experienced that disaster, and now only Old Man Song was left. Mr. Song insisted on hosting a banquet for his engagement ceremony. Besides treating him as his own grandson, he also thought of his own son who died young and wanted to make up for his regret.
Thinking of this, Tao Mu certainly would not reject Mr. Song's idea. He didn't want to spoil Mr. Song's mood or make him feel regretful, but he was also worried about Mr. Song's health. So after much deliberation, I decided to entrust the engagement ceremony banquet to Songji Chef Training School. In addition to fulfilling the old man's wish, it also serves as a test of the skills of Song Ji's apprentices.
Perhaps it was because he had reincarnated too many times. Although he had many bad experiences, Tao Mu had done many wrong things in every life due to the influence of greed and obsession. He has been betrayed and rejected, and he has owed many people. So after his memory was restored, Tao Mu became more and more tolerant and obedient to the people around him. He hoped that he could fulfill all the wishes of his family and make up for the debts of many past lives, even if these debts were wrong and the old man and his father Yao and Xiao Qi’s father did not remember them.
After being manipulated like a doll by the designer for several hours, when the designer finally announced with satisfaction that everything was over, Tao Mu, who had never walked a fashion show in his life, almost couldn't breathe. Another person with a grim face was Li Xiaoheng, who had never wasted time on such things.
At this moment, Mr. Li's expression is just like the stock K-line of M shares which keeps rising. He helped Tao Mu sit down on the sofa, and their wrists were shaking with fatigue as they served tea and drank water.
Tao Mu suddenly remembered something and said, "Can I play the piano at a Chinese wedding?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked over.
Although he wanted to keep it a secret and give Li Xiaoheng a surprise later, Tao Mu still explained, considering that a Chinese-style engagement ceremony might not go well with the piano, "You know, I promised netizens before that I would sing a song for everyone as a benefit after the number of registered users on Feixun.com exceeded 200 million. I wrote this song myself, and I think it is very meaningful. I just want to play and sing it myself at the engagement ceremony, and sing it to Mr. Li——"
"How romantic!" Before Tao Mu finished speaking, Li Xiaomei had already opened her mouth with a dreamy look on her face, and said enviously: "Brother Mu is multi-talented, my brother is so lucky."
It was also the first time that Tao Mu mentioned this matter. Li Xiaoheng looked over with a little surprise, and his ears turned red: "Sorry, I didn't expect..."
Li Xiaoheng suddenly felt embarrassed when he said this: "But I can't write songs."
Li Xiaoheng frowned, his expression serious as if he had suddenly discovered that Xiaoheng Capital had suffered a huge loss on an investment. No, it's even worse than that. As Li Xiaoheng spoke, everyone in the Li family frowned. Then they racked their brains to help Li Xiaoheng figure it out.
Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard Li Xiaoheng ask solemnly, "Although I can't write songs, I can play the piano. Can I accompany you?"
Tao Mu was slightly stunned. Before he could speak, Li Xiaomei's eyes lit up and she said, "Of course."
Li Xiaomei patted her eldest brother's shoulder with a look of great relief: "That's right. Brother, you finally got it. At your engagement ceremony, Brother Mu will sing for you. You can accompany him."
As she spoke, fearing that Tao Mu would refuse, Li Xiaomei turned her head abruptly and looked at Tao Mu eagerly: "Right, Brother Mu?"
Tao Mu's song is almost finished. Let’s wait until Cheng Yi comes to Yanjing and then discuss how to make it. According to Tao Mu's meticulous personality, he wanted to do everything perfectly, so he originally wanted to wait until all the work was completed, and then take the finished product to the engagement ceremony and sing it to Li Xiaoheng.
But now, looking at Li Xiaoheng's silently expectant expression, Tao Mu's heart suddenly moved. I was actually a little impatient.
Although the work has not been completed yet, and has not even been reviewed and polished by Cheng Yi, the gold medal music producer, but inexplicably, Tao Mu just wants Li Xiaoheng to hear him sing for him in person. Even if the song isn't perfect now.
Tao Mu also wanted Li Xiaoheng to be the first person to hear this song.
Because I can really be imperfect in front of you.
Tao Mu has always been vigorous and resolute in doing things. That night, Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng returned home. Sitting in the piano room, Tao Mu rubbed his fingers nervously, and suddenly regretted it: "Actually, this song has not been completed yet. You know, I'm not a music major. I just practiced it for fun before. I'm definitely not as good as a gold medal producer like Brother Cheng. Why don't you wait a little longer——"
Before he finished speaking, Tao Mu only felt a slight heat on his lips. Li Xiaoheng, who had been standing next to him, suddenly bent down and gently kissed his lips.
"I don't want to wait anymore." Li Xiaoheng looked at Tao Mu with a gentle smile: "I hope I am the first person in the world to hear this song."
"But this song..." Tao Mu didn't finish his words, Li Xiaoheng took over in a gentle voice: "You wrote this song for me. No matter how others evaluate it from a professional perspective. For me, this song must be the most perfect."
"Because you are the most perfect in my eyes." Li Xiaoheng said, holding Tao Mu's hand and gently kissing Tao Mu's slender white fingertips. His eyes were gentle and bright, like the quietly twinkling Milky Way in the quiet night sky.
Tao Mu stared at Li Xiaoheng, and suddenly understood all the feelings that Li Xiaoheng had never said.
Tao Mu suddenly calmed down. All the uneasiness, hesitation, shyness, inferiority and lack of confidence disappeared at this moment. Li Xiaoheng was right. Between them, even time and space were not a problem, so why bother about those tiny flaws that no one cared about.
"This song is called "Beyond the Cycle of Reincarnation." Tao Mu's ears turned red, and he stared into Li Xiaoheng's eyes with moist eyes. Gently and firmly said: "To the one I love most."
