"The next song is - 'Sound of Voice'!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the venue dimmed instantly. Jiang Yiyu walked to the white piano placed in the center of the stage. He put down the microphone, sat down, and placed his fingertips on the keys. The prelude of the song that Song Shengsheng had heard countless times sounded, and his face appeared on the big screen.
The camera switches to a long shot, showing him sitting alone in the middle of the huge stage with a piano, surrounded by lake-blue starlight. He has become the brightest star in this small world tonight.
He sang a confession song for his moon, and the stars in the sky were witnesses to his love...
He changed the last line of the lyrics to: "If I could go back in time, I would tell you earlier that I love you, I love you very much..."
Song Shengsheng, sitting in the audience, replied softly, "Me too."
This moment feels like the happy ending of a love story, but it is not the end of a grand love.
…
After the concert, it was already late, so Song Qing and Wang Jing drove the grandparents home, and Song Ming was taken to the celebration banquet by Wen Jing.
Song Shengsheng sat in the lounge backstage, watching the staff busy packing up and waiting for Jiang Yiyu to come back from welcoming and seeing off guests.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, most of the staff in the lounge had left, and Jiang Yiyu finally pushed open the door of the lounge.
Song Shengsheng put down her phone, looked up at him, and felt that she should say something, or stand up and give him a hug, but perhaps due to her personality, she suddenly became shy. The two looked at each other, feeling a little awkward.
Jiang Yiyu closed the door and cleared his throat. He lowered his head and touched the bridge of his nose sheepishly, then asked, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, it's good. It's really good."
Jiang Yiyu walked over to her side. Song Shengsheng moved to the other side of the sofa. Jiang Yiyu sat down and twirled his fingers awkwardly: "Fortunately, I didn't mess it up this time."
"What?"
"Surprise! Didn't the surprises I prepared before always go badly? For example, that time in Jiangcheng, I took you hiking in the middle of the night hoping to propose, but it ended up being a complete mess, and you even scared me... And when we first got together, you came to visit the crew, and we went to a midnight show together. You chose a horror movie, and I was almost scared to death. I had to rely on you to protect me..."
Song Shengsheng chuckled and said, "Who knew you were so timid? You're afraid of everything."
"But I'm feeling brave today. Do you want to come with me... to see the empty stage?"
Song Shengsheng was stunned for a moment: "Don't you have to attend the celebration banquet?"
"I don't want to go. I want to stay with you." He extended his hand to Song Shengsheng: "Can you please not ask so many questions this time and just come with me?"
Song Shengsheng smiled and nodded, then placed her hand on his palm.
Jiang Yiyu held her hand, and they both stood up. Song Shengsheng followed him, and went back to the venue and onto the stage with him.
The venue was empty without the audience. Jiang Yiyu sat down at the piano and patted the seat beside him. Song Shengsheng sat down next to him. He put his hands on the keys and played a short and lively tune. Song Shengsheng smiled and asked, "Will anyone come to chase us away?"
Jiang Yiyu sighed softly and smiled helplessly: "My dear, why are your focuses always so strange? Just sit back and relax, I have already made all the arrangements."
"Um?"
Jiang Yiyu raised his arm and put his arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his arms. He leaned his head against hers and whispered, "This is Jiang Yiyu's concert, singing for Song Shengsheng alone. So, please, my only audience, take a seat in my heart. The performance is about to begin."
He tilted his head and kissed her forehead, then withdrew his arm and started playing the piano again. He looked at Song Shengsheng tenderly and sang the love song he wrote for her again.
There is no excessive music or lights, only them, the love that he has accumulated through years of hiding his heartbeats, and expressing his heartfelt feelings through singing.
He said, I love you.
He said, I am so lucky to have met you.
…
After singing a song, Song Shengsheng was already in tears. She turned her head away and wiped her tears hurriedly.
After finishing her tidying, she turned around and looked into his affectionate eyes with a smile: "Jiang Yiyu, I love you too!"
…
At the end of October, in late autumn, Song Shengsheng welcomed her wedding with Jiang Yiyu in Mingyuan.
At the end of September, just after the concert ended, Jiang Yiyu told her that he wanted to have a wedding.
The two of them thought about many wedding plans together, such as a beach wedding, a church wedding, and a traditional hotel wedding...
These plans all seem good, but they are somewhat clichéd. Song Shengsheng also doesn't like social occasions that are too crowded and too lively.
After several rounds of communication, she told Jiang Yiyu that her ideal wedding would be one with a few tables of relatives and close friends, all happily and simply blessed.
Because there were only a few people invited, she didn't have to worry about style or matching. She could wear a Western wedding dress or a Chinese wedding gown. She simply went through the ceremony, ate and drank as she pleased, and was casual and free. Many years later, she was still very happy when she recalled it.
This was the feeling she wanted.
After hearing this, Jiang Yiyu hesitated, because in his imagination, he wanted to give Song Shengsheng a wedding that would not attract worldwide attention, but would definitely be the best and most grand one within his ability.
He said he wanted to make her a real princess.
Song Shengsheng was very happy to hear his thoughts, but she still made it clear that she did not want their happiness to be noticed by too many strangers.
In the end, Jiang Yiyu chose to respect her ideas.
