The two embraced and turned to the audience, tears still streaming down their faces, yet they simultaneously raised their microphones, their voices mingling, gentle yet powerful:
"Like a stream flowing around the world—embracing its birthplace—I hope you are loved—I hope you are happy—I hope my hands can shield you from the wind—I know love can lead to arguments, I know people grow old—so that 'I love you' must be said loudly—Will the train be on time? Is there food along the way...?"
During the final chorus, both of them sang at the top of their lungs, tears mixed with sweat streaming down their faces and landing on the stage.
Their voices were so relatable. Tang Qi's voice conveyed a sense of reluctance to let go, while Luo Shuning's voice expressed a longing to be trusted. The lyrics were like tiny hammers, striking the hearts of everyone.
Luo Liang was already sobbing uncontrollably, unable to speak properly, only able to mumble "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Her carefully applied makeup was completely ruined, and her black eyeliner had smudged into a mess, but no one thought she looked disheveled.
With reddened eyes, Gu Feng gently stroked her back and said softly, "A Liang, you've suffered a lot these past years..."
He knew better than anyone that Luo Liang's indifference was not innate.
After Luo Ya sacrificed her life to give birth to her three daughters, Luo Liang would think of her deceased sister every time she saw her three daughters. The guilt and fear made her choose to escape.
There is no absolute right or wrong in this matter. He only knows that what he needs to do now is to accompany her and make up for the love he owes her, little by little.
As the song drew to a close, the stage lights softened.
Tang Qi cupped Luo Shuning's face in his hands and wiped away her tears with his thumb. The two looked at each other.
The mother's voice rang out last:
"My child—I don't know if I've done enough—but one thing I'm absolutely certain of—you are the best daughter—please believe in yourself..."
As the words "best daughter" were uttered, Luo Liang slowly raised her head and looked at Luo Shuning, who was being embraced by Tang Qi on the stage.
If I could do it all over again...
If I could do it all over again...
If only I had met Gu Feng sooner...
Luo Liang's realization came from her encounter with Gu Feng at the moat after returning to China.
When she learned that Gu Feng had raised two children with no blood relation to her all by himself, she suddenly realized how foolish she had been.
He vented his self-blame and anger on the three innocent sisters.
She wanted to make amends, but for a while she didn't know how to get close to the three sisters. When they made mistakes, she couldn't help but deal with them strictly, even though she would regret it later.
So when Luo Liang learned that Gu Luo was good at taking care of his sister and was willing to talk back to him for his sister's sake, he let Gu Luo move into the apartment.
The reason she was in such a hurry was that she wanted to find some care for the three sisters as quickly as possible.
On stage, Tang Qi and Luo Shuning bowed deeply, while applause and sobs from the audience mingled together and lingered for a long time.
The pink light sticks once again formed a galaxy, and this time, hidden in the starlight were the softest love awakened by the song.
