Shi Mo on the stage seemed to sense his parents' gazes and winked at them.
This unintentional little gesture warmed Shi Heng and Su Niannian's hearts.
No matter how decisive he is in the business world, in front of them, he will always be the child who acts coquettishly and asks for candy.
…
A month later, the movie "The Stars Never Leave" starring Su Qian was released amid great anticipation.
At the premiere, Shi Heng and his family sat in the center of the VIP viewing area.
The lights dimmed, the big screen lit up, and a beautiful melody slowly flowed. It was the theme song composed by Su Qian for the movie, with a touch of sadness and tenderness.
The movie tells a story about waiting and reunion. The hero loses his wife at the wedding. Five years later, fate makes them meet again, but the heroine has lost her memory. The hero makes the heroine fall in love with him again, and the two live happily together for the rest of their lives.
This was the only novel written by Night Watchman fifteen years ago, and also his last work.
Only Shi’s family knows that the original author of this movie, “Night Watchman”, is Shi Heng himself.
The prototypes of the male and female protagonists in the story are Shi Heng and Gu Youran.
In the movie, the heroine played by Su Qian stood under the bell tower, looked up at the bronze bell, and whispered the lines:
"If there really is reincarnation, would you still be willing to meet me again?"
The camera cuts to the protagonist's monologue:
"I don't believe in gods or Buddhas, but I am willing to wait for nine lifetimes in exchange for a chance to meet you again."
Shi Heng's fingers tightened slightly, and Su Niannian gently held his hand, her fingertips gently stroking his palm, as if silently comforting him.
In the darkness, Shi Mo turned his head to look at his father, "Dad, when you wrote this story, you probably never thought that your sister would perform it one day, right?"
Shi Heng snorted lightly, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. His eyes never left the screen, as if he saw himself long ago.
After the premiere, Su Qian trotted over with her skirt lifted up and took Shi Heng's arm.
She put on exquisite makeup today, with sparkling sequins on the corners of her eyes, which was particularly dazzling under the light.
"Dad," she blinked, her tone filled with rare nervousness and anticipation, "Do I act like... Lenna when she was young?"
Shi Heng deliberately put on a stern face, but the tenderness in his eyes betrayed him, "Not even close. She wasn't as noisy as you back then."
Su Niannian walked forward and gently tidied her daughter's messy hair. "Don't listen to his nonsense. You acted very well."
It was not until they grew up that Su Qian and Shi Mo learned that their father had had a deep and unforgettable relationship with their mother.
The woman named Gu Youran is also the rock star Lenna who shocked the music world.
After the movie was released, both the box office and word of mouth exploded.
Film critics praised Su Qian's acting, saying that she "perfectly interpreted the tenacity and tenderness deep in the heroine's soul."
…
Two months later.
On the evening of December 29, the Beijing Gymnasium was brightly lit and packed.
Today is Su Qian’s solo concert.
Shi Heng, Su Niannian and Shi Mo sat in the VIP box and stared quietly at the central stage.
The concert started on time.
The stage lights suddenly dimmed, and a spotlight hit the center.
Su Qian, wearing a silver tasseled performance costume, slowly rose from the lift platform.
As the first note sounded, the whole audience instantly boiled over.
The two-hour performance was wonderful.
Su Qian sometimes performs lyrical slow songs with deep emotion, and sometimes brings explosive rock performances.
The audience in the audience waved their glow sticks to the rhythm, and the entire stadium turned into a sea of stars.
Su Qian sang the last song, but did not bow as usual.
She took a deep breath and said, "Today is my beloved father's fiftieth birthday. For the next song, I would like to invite my music teacher—my mother, Ms. Su Niannian!"
The whole audience was in an uproar.
Shi Heng's body suddenly stiffened, and he realized that Su Niannian was no longer in the box.
The lights on the side of the stage suddenly came on brightly.
Su Niannian was wearing a black leather jacket and leather pants, with a silver sequined vest underneath, and walked out holding an electric guitar.
Her long hair was tied up high, her makeup was delicate and bold, and she exuded a long-lost stage charm.
"Mom...Mom?" Shi Mo widened his eyes and looked at the cool figure on the stage in disbelief.
Shi Heng didn't say anything. His eyes were fixed on the stage, and his pupils contracted violently.
At this moment, he seemed to be back twenty years ago, when he first saw the radiant Gu Youran on the stage in the Dark Night Bar.
Su Niannian walked to the center of the stage and smiled slightly towards the box where Shi Heng was.
"Fifteen years ago, I wrote twenty-nine songs for the first half of his life. Today, I want to dedicate this new song to the second half of his life - 'The Answer of Time'."
Su Niannian's slender fingers gently plucked the strings, and the prelude poured out like flowing water.
She looked in the direction of Shi Heng, her red lips parted slightly, and her singing voice pierced the entire venue:
The hourglass of time turns back,
I saw my younger self standing on the street corner,
Waiting for someone you love.
The wind was very cold at that time.
Until your figure appears,
Relight my star—"
Her voice is low and magnetic, and every word is full of affection.
As the rhythm grew stronger, her fingers danced on the strings, and an explosive solo instantly ignited the whole audience.
"If love is a long wait,
I want to be the most stubborn pendulum in your life.
The regrets of the first half of my life were written into songs.
The promise of the second half of life is told with the rest of life——
