After a few years, Zhu Xingyao held a concert in Jiangcheng again. Her family and friends were all in the audience. Most importantly, Jiang Tu was also there. He was her boyfriend now. It seemed that everything was complete.
The stage lights dimmed even more. Zhu Xingyao withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyelashes, and raised her bow.
The last time Jiang Tu watched Zhu Xingyao's concert was in October 2008. Zhu Xingyao was 17 years old at that time, and her piano skills were a little immature. Now Zhu Xingyao is 26 years old, and both her piano skills and her temperament are more attractive than before.
The audience was silent, everyone immersed in the deep, mysterious, gentle and lingering sound of the cello. Many people took out their mobile phones to take photos and videos, and posted them on WeChat Moments and Weibo. Li Xixi, Lin Jiayu, Ding Xiang and others also posted.
When the song ended, Jiang Tu heard a male fan behind him say, "I wonder what kind of boyfriend a fairy like Zhu Xingyao would find."
Old Yuan turned to look at Jiang Tu. Jiang Tu moved a little, his expression calm.
Du Yunfei suddenly stopped recording while holding the SLR. He sighed in Lao Yuan's ear: "I've decided to change my goddess in the future. Otherwise, it's awkward. It's like I'm thinking about my brother's girlfriend. Just look at how cold Jiang Tu's eyes were when he saw me holding the SLR!"
At eleven o'clock, the concert ended.
Zhu Xingyao did not stand up. She smiled at the audience and said, "I have another piece of Bach that I want to give to someone."
There was silence for a second, then it became noisy, and someone shouted, "Who is it?"
Everyone looked around curiously or excitedly, trying to find that person, but unfortunately there were so many people in the audience and the lights were dim, so they couldn't see it at all. Jiang Tu was stunned and looked up at the center of the stage. She had changed into a white dress and was looking at him.
Jiang Tu looked at her steadily, his inner emotions surging like waves.
Old Yuan heard Du Yunfei's jealous and crazy voice: "I don't envy anyone in my life, I only envy Jiang Tu."
Old Yuan shook his head and sighed, "Why bother!"
After the concert, Jiang Lu was responsible for sending Shu Xian and Lin Jiayu's parents home. Along the way, Shu Xian kept asking Jiang Lu, "Is Zhu Xingyao really your brother's girlfriend? Why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"
Jiang Lu said helplessly: "Then just think of it as a dream."
Shu Xian immediately slapped him on the back: "How can that be possible?!"
Jiang Lu: “…”
Mother Lin sighed, "Jiang Tu already has a girlfriend, and she's so pretty, but our Jia Yu doesn't have a boyfriend yet, what should we do?"
Jiang Lu said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, if you really can't get married, I will marry you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped on the back again. Shu Xian scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? She is your sister. You are five years older than her!"
Father Lin smiled and said, "I just saw the guy Jiang Tu introduced to Jiayu. He's quite good-looking and seems reliable."
After all the audience left, Zhu Xingyao had an exclusive interview. The reporter asked: "Can I ask, who was that Bach dedicated to?"
Zhu Xingyao sat on the sofa in the makeup class and smiled: "I had a classmate before, he said he would be happy after listening to this Bach. We haven't seen each other for many years. I want to use this Bach to erase the bitterness of the past. From now on, it will be happiness and joy."
The door opposite the dressing room was open. Jiang Tu and Lin Jiayu were sitting inside. When he heard her words, his eyes became slightly hot. He lowered his head, stood up and walked out.
Lin Jiayu followed his gaze, she thought, Jiang Tu should be very happy now.
Xu Xiangyang saw that everyone in his circle of friends was posting photos of the concert. He sighed, "You guys didn't know how to divide into groups and block Lu Ji. He must have felt bad if he saw it."
Li Xixi looked at Lin Jiayu. Thinking of the first half of Waiting for the Stars that she had watched on the plane this afternoon, she felt a little complicated. She turned to ask Xu Xiangyang, "I thought they were done with the fight. Hasn't he let it go yet?"
Xu Xiangyang thought about it and said, "Maybe."
Lin Jiayu was silent for a moment and swiped around on the phone screen. She also thought that Lu Ji had a fight with Jiang Tu, and after all the truth was revealed, he let it go.
Not yet
Lin Jiayu wanted to send him a message several times, but finally held back.
Jiang Tu ran into Zhu Yunping outside the door. Zhu Yunping looked at him and said calmly, "Let's talk."
The two stopped at the end of the corridor. Jiang Tu stood behind Zhu Yunping, waiting for him to speak first. Zhu Yunping took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed him one. Jiang Tu took it with some surprise and whispered, "Thank you."
Zhu Yunping lowered his head to light a cigarette, then turned to look at Jiang Tu: "Did you like Xingxing when you were in high school?"
Jiang Tu didn't light the cigarette, but held it in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Yes."
Zhu Yunping narrowed his eyes: "Does Xingxing know?"
"She..." Jiang Tu took a deep breath, "She didn't know when she was in high school, but she found out later."
"You were her desk mate, and you clearly had more opportunities. Why didn't you tell her?" Zhu Yunping didn't know what happened between Jiang Tu and Zhu Xingyao and Lu Ji. He just felt that there must be a reason why his daughter beat someone up for Jiang Tu, or something happened or she knew something.
Later, when Zhu Xingyao first started receiving psychological treatment, he was not very cooperative. He heard some things from Li Xixi.
"I can't ..."
Jiang Tu swallowed his breath and said ashamedly: "I have nothing, and I will bring disaster and harm to her. Even if I can make her like me, you will not agree to her being with someone like me."
Zhu Yunping took a puff of his cigarette and looked at him closely: "You returned to China just for her?"
Jiang Tu looked at him and said firmly, "Yes."
"Can you do it now?" Zhu Yunping asked.
"Now I won't let her suffer with me. I can guarantee that her quality of life will not decline because of being with me. Perhaps compared with you, these are not enough." Jiang Tu has always been a man who can take on responsibilities. Every word he says is a promise. "But I promise that I will do my best to treat her well."
Zhu Yunping looked at the tall and handsome man in front of him, and thought of the Bach piece his daughter had just played for him, and he felt mixed emotions. That girl was very smart, and was afraid that he and Ding Yu would embarrass this boy, so she deliberately did this. Did she really think they couldn't see it
He sighed and finally asked, "No matter what her requests or shortcomings are, can you accept and tolerate them?"
Jiang Tu said: “Yes.”
He wondered, what shortcomings could Zhu Xingyao have
Maybe, but so what
The interview ended at half past twelve in the evening.
There were a lot of news and short videos about Zhu Xingyao’s concert on Weibo. The main reason was that those who came to watch the concert included Li Xixi, x Orchestra, Jiang Lu, etc., and they were all photographed by reporters who were waiting outside.
"I can understand Li Xixi and the x band going to the concert, but Jiang Lu is an e-sports player. When did he start liking cello concerts?"
"Jiang Lu has been following Zhu Xingyao before, maybe he just thinks she's pretty!"
“Can’t e-sports players appreciate music?”
"Jiang Lu is my husband, don't talk nonsense, Zhu Xingyao might be his sister-in-law."
Jiang Lu was browsing Weibo at night and saw some comments and speculations. He almost dropped his phone in shock. He quickly posted a Weibo: "The tickets were given to me by others. I won't waste them. The concert will be wonderful."
After seeing this, Lin Jiayu muttered, "Jiang Lu has been acting strangely lately. He must have done something wrong."
Li Xixi posted her contract with Zhu Xingyao on Weibo. Zhu Xingyao liked her post and asked quietly, "Where's Jiang Tu?"
Li Xixi said: "I don't know."
Xiao Kui came over and whispered, "I saw Mr. Zhu and Mr. Jiang go out together. I guess they have something to discuss."
Sure enough, Zhu Xingyao curled her lips.
The door of the dressing room was pushed open, Jiang Tu walked in, and Zhu Xingyao looked up at him.
Jiang Tu walked up to her and asked, "Can we go now?"
"Let's go." Li Xixi pulled Xu Xiangyang up, yawned, and her eyes were misty with tears. "Let's all go."
Lin Jiayu and Li Xixi left first. Finally, Zhu Xingyao slowly put on her down jacket, hat and mask. She looked in the mirror, went over to hold Jiang Tu's arm, and asked in a low voice, "What did my father say to you?"
Jiang Tu looked down at her and whispered, "What do you think?"
Zhu Xingyao was a little nervous: "Did he scold you?"
Jiang Tu's mouth curled up: "No, he asked me..."
"What?"
"Ask me if I've liked you since high school." Jiang Tu lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Have you told your father?"
"I mentioned a little bit." Zhu Xingyao vaguely said, looking up at him, "What else?"
"No more." Jiang Tu put his arm around her waist and took her out.
Xiao Kui and another male assistant Xiao Tian were paving the way ahead. Zhu Xingyao stopped Jiang Tu at the door. Jiang Tu paused and lowered his eyes to look at her.
Zhu Xingyao grabbed his collar, stood on tiptoes, and kissed him.
Jiang Tu's eyes were filled with emotions. He restrained himself and hugged her. He lowered his head and kissed her, and said in a low voice: "What time is your flight tomorrow?"
Zhu Xingyao was invited by a foreign symphony orchestra to participate in the opening of an awards ceremony. This was the schedule Hua Ling had just confirmed two days ago. Her voice was swallowed by him, and she panted: "The flight is in the afternoon."
Jiang Tu asked again: "How many days will you be gone?"
"About a week." Zhu Xingyao buried her face in his arms, "Can I go to your house tonight?"
