After leaving the bar that night, Qiao w.a.n.gchuan told Su Yutan that he had heard the song "Pray" three times in his life, and he cried every time.
The first time was when he came to know about his life history and the story of the song.
When he heard half of it, he burst into tears. It was then that he decided to give up everything to find his mother.
The second time he heard this song was when Su Yutan sang that night on New Year"s Eve.
At that time, he had no idea that he would reunite with this song of almost 30 years old in such a moment and in such manner.
The third time he heard this song was from Jiang Miaomiao"s bar when she sang it.
He didn"t expect that after so many years had pa.s.sed, the fans still remembered his mother, awaiting her return. The cruel thing was, he and these fans do not know how long it would take to get an exact answer. It was far more tormenting than seeing a dead body or witnessing the death of a loved one.
He said that the tears that he cried as an adult were all related to this song.
“So, it"s not that I"m too fragile, but that this song and the story behind it are too painful.” Qiao w.a.n.gchuan, who had cried in front of her, explained to her solemnly and embarra.s.sedly.
Su Yutan nodded, fully respecting a man"s love of his face.
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan told her the story behind the song again.
After deciding to have him, his mother once pulled his father and ran across many temples to pray for him.
The river lanterns in that song, the incense wish before the Buddha, were all things his parents really did.
“May the babies smile as bright as the sun; May the childhood be more fun and more expansive than stars; May the youth be inspired and take root in Happy Paradise; May the dreams in their hearts be realized when they grow up.”
After he was successfully implanted into the fertility chamber, his mother once avoided the paparazzi, slipped into the reproductive service center, played a guitar, and sang this song to him who was still a ma.s.s of cells.
His mother also said, after he was born, she would sing this song to him.
But when he was born, his mother had no chance to sing to him in person.
After the Spring Festival holiday, Qiao w.a.n.gchuan moved in next door.
On the day of the move, his relatives and friends all came for the house-warming. He also invited Su Yutan to partic.i.p.ate. However, she did not want to get too involved in Qiao w.a.n.gchuan"s life, so she declined.
On Valentine"s Day, Qiao w.a.n.gchuan asked Su Yutan to have a meal together.
Su Yutan asked him, “Valentine"s Day is a lovers" holiday. Why should I eat with you?”
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan scratched his head, “Two single dogs should warm each other. How about this reason?”
Su Yutan felt that this reason was acceptable and agreed to eat with him.
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan wanted to make a reservation at a restaurant and asked her what she wanted to eat.
But she said, “What restaurant does two single dogs warmly book for each other? Let"s just eat at home. I don"t choose what to eat, except dark foods and those weird foods.”
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan was relieved, “OK! Is it in my house or yours?”
Su Yutan wanted to know how good the final design of Qiao w.a.n.gchuan"s house was. After all, he spent so much money, so she proposed to eat the meal at his house.
That night, when she walked into Qiao w.a.n.gchuan"s house, she was really shocked.
Entering the gate, what she saw was not a luxuriously decorated living room, but a fantasy forest like a fairy tale world.
In this forest, you could see everything around you without the light, because every animal and plant in the forest was glowing.
Above her head, there were lush cherry trees, and it"s branches were full of pink and tender cherry blossoms. When a breeze blew, pink petals fell like snow, disappearing into the forest, and piled up on the path, paving the entire way inside.
Beside the path were vibrantly green moss, vines, shrubs, and gra.s.ses. Dancing beautiful b.u.t.terflies shuttled between the huge and strange flowers like an umbrella, which added a little vitality to the forest.
Su Yutan exclaimed in her heart, this light and shadow effect was really realistic!
The interior designer of Qiao w.a.n.gchuan was really awesome! How many advanced holographic projection equipment did she have to use to make such an effect?
She lowered her head and looked at the cherry blossoms on the small road, she could not bear to step on it because those petals were so beautiful and real.
She caught sight of her clothes and felt that her dress was too casual. It was not worthy of the romantic atmosphere.
“Wait a minute, I"ll go back and change my clothes.” She said to Qiao w.a.n.gchuan who was in a suit, turned and ran home.
She returned home, neatly put on a light makeup and then opened the closet. Quickly glancing over a set of clothes, she finally decided on a white dress.
This was a mid-length off-shoulder dress with a lace collar and split flared sleeves. It was the one that fitted the dreamy atmosphere.
She wore the little dress with matching shoes.
Taking into account the relatively low temperature in the elevator room, she wrapped a thin shawl around her so as to avoid the gooseb.u.mps destroying the atmosphere.
After redressing, she came to Qiao w.a.n.gchuan"s home.
The moment she stepped into the door, countless cherry petals flew from her feet, flying around her like b.u.t.terflies welcoming her.
G.o.d only knows where a breeze came from with a refreshing fragrance.
The b.u.t.terflies on the flowers flew over and turned into little b.u.t.terfly fairies, which led Su Yutan toward the restaurant.
A few birds and insects, which belonged to the forest, murmured and chuckled, as if the elves hiding in the flowers were whispering.
Su Yutan thought while taking all in the sight; the most expensive and romantic restaurant would not have the atmosphere like this, right?
His expensive ring-house audio-visual system and air circulation system were really worth the money.
When Su Yutan sat down at the table, the petals of the cherry blossoms flying around her fell down the side of the table, turning into a cherry-shaped stage suspended in the forest.
On the cherry blossom stage, beautiful little flower elves wearing pink dresses and playing a variety of musical instruments formed a flower elf symphony band.
The flower elf in charge bowed to Su Yutan and said in a very pleasant voice. “Welcome Miss Su to the cherry forest in the Dream Forest. I am Sakura Ling. What song does the lady want to hear?”
She fluttered in the air with petal-like wings, keeping her eyes straight on Su Yutan.
Su Yutan asked with interest, “Can I request any song?”
“You can request any song as long as it"s publicly available.”
Su Yutan thought about it, and didn"t have a particular song she wanted to listen to at this moment, and said to Sakura Ling, “Play your favorite song!”
The music of the flower elves should be in tune with a high degree of harmony with the environment, which would be more compatible with this romantic atmosphere.
The flower elves began to play light fantasy music in a fantastic style.
On the other side of the table, a “portal door” suddenly appeared. Three people holding the tray came out of the portal door.
The leader was a man who had gray hair and a beard. He exuded an aura that was steady and wise, and he was full of the mature charm of middle-aged and handsome men.
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan introduced, “This is my housekeeper robot, called Aries.”
Behind Aries, two handsome young men, sixteen and seventeen years old with similar looks but different auras, followed one after the other.
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan said, “They are baby dove"s nanny robots. He is called Xiaowen and that is Xiaowu. They are all designed and manufactured by me. With their company, the safety and needs of the baby are guaranteed.”
Su Yutan said h.e.l.lo to three temporary guest waiters.
Aries, Xiaowen and Xiaowu all started serving the food in accordance with the standard procedures of western restaurants. Those dishes were full of color and fragrance.
