Chapter 3528 The love of my life
Gu Qiuyi didn't say goodbye.
Her word "bye" expressed all her wishes.
If it weren't for Ye Chen, she wouldn't have become a singer. Although she was very talented in this area, she still couldn't say she loved it.
Her core motivation was to find Ye Chen. After her accidental encounter with Ye Chen, she had already begun to think about quitting.
At this moment on the stage, colorful ribbons are flying down from the sky, mixed with the falling snowflakes, it is breathtakingly beautiful.
However, Gu Qiuyi simply waved and bowed to the audience, then stood at the entrance of the elevator and quickly disappeared from the stage.
When the colorful ribbons in the sky gradually fell, people realized that Gu Qiuyi was no longer on the stage.
At this moment, all the lights in the venue came on, and the speakers in the venue sounded the staff's reminder: "Tonight's performance ends here. Please leave in an orderly manner and avoid crowding. Please take your trash with you when you leave. Thank you for your cooperation!"
Few fans moved, instead they all cried in their seats.
Those Hong Kong and Taiwan singers often hold a concert to celebrate their retirement. Even though they know they will make a comeback in a few years, their fans will still cry at their farewell concerts.
Gu Qiuyi is different from them. Everyone knows that after she quits, she will never come back.
Xiao Churan couldn't help but shed two lines of tears. Her heart was broken because she knew that after this performance, the final countdown time between her and Ye Chen would be reduced by another three hours.
Ye Chen foolishly thought that her tears were for Gu Qiuyi, so he gently comforted her: "Okay, honey, don't be sad. Life is about constantly welcoming and seeing off friends and family, and it's the same with chasing stars."
Xiao Churan wiped away her tears, nodded gently, then stood up and said, "Let's go back to the hotel."
"Okay." Ye Chen agreed, took her hand, and left the performance venue with her.
The hotel was not far from the venue, and the two walked back in the heavy snow. When they returned to the room, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening.
Xiao Churan found the hotel staff and asked them to deliver the cake he had ordered to the room. He said to Ye Chen, "Fortunately, I still have time to go back to the room to celebrate your birthday."
Ye Chen smiled slightly and returned to the room with her.
The staff quickly delivered the cake and two bottles of fine red wine.
The cake Xiao Churan ordered was a pure white heart shape, without any fancy decorations or cheesy greetings, just one sentence: "Love of My Life"
Translated into Chinese, the most appropriate expression would be: "The love of a lifetime."
Ye Chen knew that this line of English must have been requested by Xiao Churan to the cake shop. At this moment, he was deeply moved.
Although their marriage was arranged, after all these years of hardships, it seems that they finally have real feelings for each other.
Ye Chen deliberately asked her: "Wife, what does this line of words mean?"
Xiao Churan looked at him and asked shyly, "Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "I understand, but I still want to hear you say it out loud."
Xiao Churan smiled and said deliberately: "This line of words is the name of a song."
After that, she turned on her phone and searched on the music app. Then soft music started playing, and the melodious sound came from the phone speaker.
"Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart and now you leave me
Love of my life can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me, because you don't know
What it means to me..."
"You will remember this is blown over
And everything's all by the way.
When I grow older
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you...”
The lyrics of this song are calm and sad, perfectly fitting Xiao Churan's feelings at the moment, and are also what she most wants to say to Ye Chen.
Although Ye Chen understood every word of the song, he never thought about the deeper meaning behind it.
In addition, his mind was a little hazy, because he remembered that his mother often listened to this song when he was young, but he was too young at that time and did not remember it clearly.
So, he asked with some surprise: "Honey, what's the name of this song? It sounds so familiar!"
Xiao Churan pointed to the line of English letters on the cake and said, "This is the title of the song."
Ye Chen asked again: "Who sang it?"
Xiao Churan said: "There is a British band called Queen."
"Queen..." Ye Chen suddenly realized: "I know, it's the band that sang "We Will Rock You"?"
"Yes." Xiao Churan nodded and asked him, "Have you heard this song before?"
"I've heard of it." Ye Chen said truthfully, "I heard it when I was very young, but I didn't know what it was called at that time, and I haven't heard it since then."
Xiao Churan smiled and said, "This song is nice, but it's old, probably more than fifty years old."
"So long..." Ye Chen muttered, but he was not surprised.
After all, his mother often listened to this song more than 20 years ago, so he guessed that this song must be very old.
At this time, Xiao Churan placed the cake in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel room and inserted a candle with the number 2 and a candle with the number 9.
Then, she looked at the night view of the city covered with heavy snow outside and said to Ye Chen, "Hubby, make a wish."
Ye Chen nodded, sat opposite her, closed his eyes, accompanied by singing, and made a wish devoutly.
This birthday wish came to him subconsciously.
He hoped that he could quickly eradicate the Poqing Society and Wu Feiyan, quickly confess his identity to Xiao Churan and ask for her forgiveness, and then live an ordinary life with her.
Decades later, Xiao Churan would slowly grow old, and he would have to find the right time to confess his identity as a cultivator to her, prepare more rejuvenation pills for her, and stay with her for a hundred years.
After making a wish, Ye Chen opened his eyes. Xiao Churan opposite him asked curiously, "Husband, what wish did you make? How long did it take?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "It's about our wish. Because the structure of this wish is too complicated, I recited it more silently in my heart."
Xiao Churan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Hurry up and blow out the candles! I'm still waiting to say happy birthday to you!"
"Okay!" Ye Chen smiled and blew out the candle.
Xiao Churan picked up the red wine and said to him, "Husband, you divide the cake, I'll pour the wine, and drink a few glasses with you tonight."
Ye Chen readily agreed, and then the two of them held up their wine glasses and clinked them lightly.
Xiao Churan's eyes moistened, and she said softly, "Happy birthday, husband! I hope all your wishes come true, you are healthy and safe, and live a long life!"
Ye Chen nodded heavily and said with emotion: "Wife, you too!"
Xiao Churan held the wine glass and said with a smile: "Cheers."
"cheers!"
……
Ye Chen and Xiao Churan rarely have the opportunity to sit together and drink.
However, today in the warm hotel, looking at the snow scene outside the window, and coupled with the special day, both of them felt a desire to drink.
After two glasses of wine, Xiao Churan already felt a little tipsy. She felt light and dizzy, but not uncomfortable. On the contrary, this dizzy feeling made her feel somewhat relaxed and comfortable.
In a short while, the two of them shared a 750ml bottle of red wine.
Xiao Churan's cheeks flushed, but she picked up another bottle of red wine and prepared to open it.
Ye Chen quickly persuaded her: "Wife, you have already drunk a lot, don't drink anymore."
Xiao Churan shook his head and said, "It's a rare opportunity to have such a good opportunity. Let's drink this bottle too."
Ye Chen said: "If you drink so much, you will have a headache tomorrow."
"Don't be afraid." Xiao Churan smiled and said, "There's nothing to do tomorrow anyway, so we're not in a hurry to go back immediately, right?"
Ye Chen was speechless for a moment.
Xiao Churan added, "We've been together for so long, but I've never celebrated your birthday so formally. Today is the first time, so why not just drink a little more, okay?"
Ye Chen thought that since Xiao Churan was with him, he was not afraid that she would drink too much. He could help her neutralize some of the alcohol at any time and alleviate and reduce the sequelae of alcohol to the greatest extent. Since she wanted to drink, he might as well accompany her for a few more drinks.
So Ye Chen nodded, which was considered as tacit agreement.
Xiao Churan opened the bottle and poured half a glass for Ye Chen and herself. She raised her glass and said, "Husband, this glass of wine is for you. Like you, I'm getting married for the first time, and my grandfather arranged the marriage for me. I have no experience and I'm not in the right state. In the past few years, there have been many things I haven't done well. Please forgive me."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Wife, you have done very well. When I was so poor, you didn't despise me. After Grandpa passed away, the whole family humiliated me and hoped that I would get out of the Xiao family as soon as possible. You are the only one who didn't take advantage of me when I was down. I am really touched. Thank you for all your efforts for me over the years!"
Xiao Churan pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Over the years, you have made great sacrifices for me, my parents, and this family. I should be the one to thank you."
Ye Chen quickly waved his hand: "Why are husband and wife still so polite? It's all in the wine."
Xiao Churan nodded and said with a smile: "Cheers!"
The two of them drank and chatted, and they felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
After drinking two bottles of red wine, Xiao Churan was already a little drunk. Fortunately, her physical condition was much better than that of ordinary people, so she didn't get drunk.
Xiao Churan looked at the empty wine bottle and the half-eaten cake, then said to Ye Chen: "Hubby, it's getting late. Go take a shower first, and I'll clean up here."
Ye Chen said: "You go wash it, I'll clean it up."
"No need." Xiao Churan quickly started to clean up, muttering at the same time: "You are the birthday girl, how can you let the birthday girl do the work? Go ahead, I'll clean up."
Seeing her firm attitude, Ye Chen did not insist any further.
Xiao Churan watched Ye Chen enter the bathroom, and his heartbeat began to get faster and faster.
She looked at the two empty bottles of red wine, muttered to herself to encourage herself, and said, "Xiao Churan, now that you have made up your mind, don't be timid anymore!"
