Three years later.
Xiao Xin became a music composer for an internationally renowned company.
A high-profile business dinner where celebrities from all walks of life gather together.
Xiao Xin wasn't surprised when she received the invitation, but when she arrived at the venue, she was still amazed by the dazzling and gorgeous decorations.
The venue was filled with roses, and even the overhead chandeliers were made of diamonds, making them excessively dazzling.
Someone who didn't know better might think it was a wedding.
If he hadn't seen a few familiar music partners, he would have thought he had gone to the wrong venue.
Mo Xuan saw him standing there in shock and walked towards him with two bottles of champagne in his hand.
He handed one of them to Xiao Xin: "Here you go."
Xiao Xin accepted it and said thank you.
The crowd was a bit crowded, so Mo Xuan stood beside Xiao Xin and shielded him from passersby.
The two were standing quite close. Xiao Xin glanced at him and subtly moved a step to the side.
Mo Xuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw his little gesture. "What, are you afraid I'll take advantage of you?"
Xiao Xin didn't even glance at him. "Get lost."
Mo Xuan wasn't angry. He smiled, took a sip of his wine, and asked him, "Do you know who's hosting tonight's banquet?"
Xiao Xin replied with little interest: "Not interested."
Mo Xuan scoffed: "You look a little unhappy?"
Xiao Xin pinched the bridge of her nose: "Who would be happy to work overtime?"
He didn't really want to come to this kind of event; he'd rather go home and get some sleep.
He looks a bit haggard from staying up late these past few days.
Mo Xuan leaned close to his ear and chuckled, "If I told you that this banquet was hosted by the Fu family, would you be interested?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Xuan was grabbed by the collar and forced back a step.
Xiao Xin looked up and saw Feng Lu standing behind Mo Xuan.
Mo Xuan was grabbed by the collar, turned around and saw Feng Lu, feeling confused, "What are you doing?"
Feng Lu didn't even look at him, but smiled politely at Xiao Xin and said, "Hello, senior."
Xiao Xin nodded in response, then looked away and turned to chat with the person who had approached her.
Feng Lu looked away, grabbed Mo Xuan by the back of the neck, and whispered in his ear, "I saw you harassing your senior from a distance. Did I warn you?"
Mo Xuan pulled his hand away, glanced at the flowing crowd around him, and suppressed the urge to get angry.
He stepped in front of Feng Lu and said in a low voice, "Little brat, what business is it of yours who I harass? This is an adult matter, mind your own business!"
"Don't go near the senior, or I won't care."
Feng Lu looked down at Mo Xuan, who was half a head shorter than him, and couldn't help but laugh. "But I feel like you're more like a child."
Mo Xuan rolled his eyes at him, "You're crazy."
After he finished speaking, he picked up his wine glass and walked away.
Ten minutes later, Fu Qingting walked onto the stage.
The crowd gradually quieted down and all eyes turned to Fu Qingting.
With a faint smile on his face, Fu Qingting spoke into the microphone: "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend tonight's banquet. First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce my beloved to everyone."
As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Lin in the audience with a doting gaze.
Xiao Lin smiled and nodded. After a series of rehabilitation exercises, his legs had regained sensation and he was able to walk normally.
He walked up to the podium, stood next to Fu Qingting, and smiled happily.
Looking at the happy Xiao Lin on the stage, Xiao Xin couldn't help but shed a tear.
A tissue was handed to Xiao Xin from the side, and she took it and said thank you.
"You really want to thank me?"
The familiar voice echoed in her ears, and Xiao Xin stopped wiping away her tears.
He turned around abruptly and saw the face that had appeared countless times in his dreams.
Fu Yan met those eyes he had been longing for day and night, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Xiao Xin looked at that familiar smile, and for a moment he couldn't hear any sound or see anyone else.
The two gazed at each other silently, as if they saw only each other.
After a long while, Xiao Xin found her voice and subconsciously said, "Fu...Yan?"
Fu Yan nodded: "It's me, brother."
At this point in the conversation, another round of thunderous applause erupted from the surroundings.
Xiao Xin snapped out of his daze and glanced around, only to find that everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.
The assistant walked over to Fu Yan and whispered a reminder, "It's time to go on stage."
Fu Yan replied with an "okay," then turned to Xiao Xin and said, "Brother, wait for me a moment."
Xiao Xin didn't know how to react for a moment, so she could only nod and say, "Mm."
This familiar yet strange feeling is too unreal; it feels like a dream.
His gaze followed Fu Yan's retreating figure all the way to the stage.
Then, amidst applause, Fu Qingting completed his handover ceremony.
"From today onwards, the Fu family business will officially be taken over by my son, Fu Yan. Thank you everyone."
After Fu Qingting finished speaking, he bowed to the crowd and then put his arm around Xiao Lin as they stepped off the stage.
Fu Yan was the only one left on the stage. He held the microphone and delivered his remarks in a generous and appropriate manner.
Xiao Xin's gaze was fixed on Fu Yan. She felt that Fu Yan had changed a lot in the three years since they last met. He had become more mature and composed than before, and he looked more charming than ever.
Xiao Xin stood in the crowd, hearing praise and compliments for Fu Yan all around her. Some people even took flowers, ready to show their goodwill to Fu Yan.
After Fu Yan finished speaking, he politely bowed and thanked her, then walked down from the podium and headed straight for Xiao Xin.
However, as soon as he stepped off the stage, a girl holding flowers blocked his way.
The girl stuffed the flowers into Fu Yan's hand and looked up at him, asking something.
Xiao Xin was too far away from the crowd to hear.
