The two quietly listened to Li Shen singing on the screen. They have to say, Li Shen’s singing is really captivating.
Zhou Xiaoning currently feels very awkward. She is worried whether Yu Wan would cry but at the same time, she is enjoying Li Shen’s singing. In fact, she never told Yu Wan that she likes Li Shen’s songs….
“Cough, cough, uh…” Zhou Xiaoning added another piece of meat to Yu Wan’s bowl, trying to break the tense atmosphere, “There is a really popular TV series called 《The Last Journey》, have you heard of it?”
Yu Wan lowered her head and poked the beef in her bowl, “Where do I have the time to watch TV?”
“True. This TV show stars Wen Ke and Yu Kaize. It is about the funeral and internment business. 《Heartstring》is the theme song of the series.”
Yu Wan froze and let out a soft “Oh.”
Looking at her expression, Zhou Xiaoning finally put down her chopsticks and asked Yu Wan, “Honestly speaking, is there any possibility of reconciling with Li Shen?”
“Reconcile?” Yu Wan knit her brows and stared at Zhou Xiaoning who was sitting in front of her.
Zhou Xiaoning wasn’t fearful. She never liked to wade through water. She can feel that Yu Wan still likes Li Shen and since there is still affection, why can’t they reconcile? “Yes, reconcile.”
After a few seconds of silence, Yu Wan put down her chopsticks and pulled her lips into a smile, “Ningning, I was the one who chose to break up with him at that time. If I try to reconnect with him now that he is popular, wouldn’t I lose face?”
Zhou Xiaoning, of course, knew Yu Wan wanted to break up that year. She was especially ruthless and decisive about it. Zhou Xiaoning was also very clear that Yu Wan really loved Li Shen so the sudden breakup made her even more surprised.
“Why did you break up?”
Yu Wan smiled and took a swig of the milk tea like it was beer, “It already passed, what’s the point in talking about it. Besides, Li Shen might already have a girlfriend.”
Zhou Xiaoning disagreed, “I don’t think so. There hasn’t been any news from the entertainment reporters.”
Yu Wan, “....”
She revealed a tight-lipped smile. Yes, you can find out about Li Shen from entertainment reporters.
After the last chorus of 《Heartstring》was sung, Yu Wan looked at Li Shen through the screen and sighed, “Li Shen has changed a lot over the years.”
He has matured and become more indifferent.
Zhou Xiaoning replied, “People will change. Haven’t you changed? What matters is if it was for better or worse.”
Yu Wan looked down in a daze. Did they change for better or worse?
Perhaps it is for the better.
This evening, Zhou Xiaoning and Yu Wan talked until two in the morning before they went to bed. Perhaps she had a friend with her because Yu Wan finally had a good night's sleep and had a dream. A bright and neat teen sitting across from her was tenderly gazing at her with a guitar in his hand as he sang, “Lily, for one year, ten years, a hundred years, I will still sing this song for you.”
When she woke up in the morning, Yu Wan’s eyes were wet. Fortunately, Zhou Xiaoning had already gone to work so she didn’t see her sorry state.
Yu Wan got up and washed her face. She put on a long printed robe over her t-shirt and trousers and walked out to the balcony to relax her muscles. She hasn’t slept until ten o’clock for a long time. She was satisfied and her spirit was much better.
There is some sunlight peeking out today. Although it isn’t very hot, it is still fairly warm. Directly facing the balcony is a villa where a Shiba Inu is happily playing in the garden.
The apartment unit that Yu Wan bought is located next to the villa district where the roads are interconnected. Because of the close proximity to the villa district, she bought this building, making it also the most expensive in the area. She didn’t hesitate when buying the house. Even though it is expensive, the environment is good.
The Shiba Inu in the garden seemed to have noticed someone looking at it and looked up at the sixth floor. When Yu Wan saw it looking over, she smiled and waved at it.
“Woof.” The dog wagged his tail and gave her a warm bark.
Yu Wan thought that it must be lonely. She had lived here for so many days but had never seen the owner. The uncle in the villa next door had already come out several times to do tai chi.
After teasing the dog for a while, Yu Wan went back inside and made something to eat. Since it is rare for her to have a day off, she didn’t want to go out. She took out the leftovers from last night and heat them up for lunch. After eating, she took her laptop and sat down on the swing on the balcony to watch a tv show.
It is 《The Last Journey》which Zhou Xiaoning mentioned the other night.
The TV show is based on the novel of the same name. The female protagonist is a mortician who specializes in embalming and beautifying the body. Yu Wan felt that this is a great job but people in this society are generally evasive of this topic. Every plot and narrative in the drama was touching. Coupled with Li Shen’s ending song, every time the prelude of 《Heartstring》sounded, she would be filled with a sea of tears.
While Yu Wan was wiping her tears, she remembered Li Shen’s 《Heartstring》is released today. She opened a random music platform and saw 《Heartstring》sitting firmly in the first place. The songwriter and composer are both Li Shen. She had already known about his talent.
For the rest of the day, Yu Wan played Li Shen’s new single on loop for her meager contribution in streaming the song.
After her short vacation, she went back to work. After Yu Wan finished her morning meeting, she was sent to wait for Miss Hu. Director Hu’s daughter’s name is Hu Jiao. As Yu Wan said before, she can now calmly receive any name whether it is pepper* or chili.”
T/N: Homophone for Hu Jiao
“Hello, Miss Hu,” When Yu Wan arrived at Hu Jiao’s mountain villa, she realized that she wasn’t the only wedding planner she invited. Yu Wan wasn’t too surprised. Wei Shao had told her earlier the budget for Hu Jiao’s wedding is at least 30 million dollars. With such a large number, there will definitely be many people who want a part in it.
The other two companies that came today are two of the best in A City. Compared to them, her company is inferior.
However, this does not make Yu Wan retreat. After she greeted Hu Jiao, she sat down on the sofa opposite the two. Hu Jiao sat on the middle seat and gently leaned against the back of the sofa. Her right leg is crossed over her left, her ten-centimeter heel lightly tapping the corner of the table. Her golden curls extend to her waist and her nails are dyed red. Hu Jiao held her chin with one hand as she examined the three people in front of her.
Yu Wan sighed in her heart. This Miss Hu isn’t easy to take care of.
After sweeping a look over the three people one by one, Hu Jiao hooked up her red lips and said, “I won’t comment on the situation on hand. Since you are able to sit here today, it means that you all have certain strengths in wedding planning. I will just go ahead with my thoughts on the wedding.”
Yu Wan took out her laptop from her bag and prepared to listen.
Hu Jiao said, “Shimin and I built our relationship in a game so I want to do a game-themed wedding.”
Yu Wan typed the word “game” on her laptop. She had done a game-themed wedding before so it shouldn’t be a problem.
With the mention of games, Hu Jiao’s attitude became more enthusiastic than before. She looked at the three wedding planners and asked, “Have you heard of the game called 《Fearless Jianghu》?”
The other two people nodded. Yu Wan doesn’t play games often but because she is a professional wedding planner, she already researched that the newlyweds got together through a game. Because of this, she researched relevant information about the game in advance. Speaking of it, Hu Jiao and Yu Shimin were arranged to get married by their families. However, with Miss Hu’s character, she would naturally disagree. She made a big fuss, even at the expense of severing her father-daughter relationship. In the end, Yu Shimin perfectly solved this problem.
He knows Hu Jiao likes to play games so he specifically registered an account to play with her. Hu Jiao was resistant at first but as she continued to play with him, her feelings start to grow.
Mr. Yu is a model for a persistent pursuer.
Yu Wan also followed in nodding and listened to Hu Jiao continue, “In the latest version update, a new storyline was added. Li Shen is also dubbing an NPC in the game.”
Yu Wan froze. No wonder she felt this game sounded so familiar. It turns out she came across it when she searched about Li Shen.
“Do you all know which role he is dubbing?”
One of the female wedding planners answered right away, “Xie Liang!”
Hu Jiao looked at her and gave a satisfied nod, “Very good.”
Yu Wan, “....”
What is going on, game knowledge quiz? Does that mean she just lost a point?
Hu Jiao calmly scanned all three of them, “I know you all have planned a game-themed wedding before but I don’t want some superficial game theme wedding. Only those who truly understand this game would make this wedding animated. I want to ask everyone, who has played this game before?”
The two wedding planners started to answer, “I have!”
“I have!”
“.....I have also played it before.” Yu Wan felt guilty with her reply but it doesn’t matter. She can start playing now!
Hu Jiao seemed to only be asking casually and doesn’t care about her answer. She chuckled, “It doesn’t matter if you say you played or not. I have thought of a way for you all to prove yourself.”
Yu Wan suddenly had a bad feeling. Sure enough, Hu Jiao continued, “In one week, let’s play a round. You all come here and play one-on-one with me. If you win, I will give your plan priority consideration.”
Yu Wan, “.....”
In her four years in the profession, she is too young.
She felt that Hu Jiao only wants to play games.
After Yu Wan left Hu Jiao’s villa, she released a new post to her Moments, “Updated criteria for being a wedding planner: in addition to planning, marketing, designing, deciding on lights and flower arrangements, you also have to know how to play video games.
After the last chorus of 《Heartstring》was sung, Yu Wan looked at Li Shen through the screen and sighed, “Li Shen has changed a lot over the years.”
He has matured and become more indifferent.
Zhou Xiaoning replied, “People will change. Haven’t you changed? What matters is if it was for better or worse.”
