Dongfang Gan nodded his head in relief when he heard Dongfang Liuyun’s words.
“I can’t bear to part with you, but we’ve been waiting for you to grow up. We’ve been waiting for this day to personally hand you over to someone worthy of your life. We’ll watch you get married and have children. To me, this means that you’ve accomplished all your merits and have no regrets.”
Dongfang Gan rarely said such things, but now that his daughter was about to get married, he could not help it.
He had loved his daughter for so many years, and this precious thing was now going to belong to another man.
“Father, I won’t forget the kindness of you and Mother raising me. Qi Lei and I will properly repay you and Mother.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not know what else to say.
Dongfang Gan looked at her dotingly and nodded. “Okay!”
Then, he put on the white gloves in his hand and bent his arm towards Dongfang Liuyun. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to see Qi Lei.”
“Thank you, Father!”
Dongfang Liuyun’s nose turned sour. She sniffed and then slowly reached out to link with his arm. The father and daughter walked forward unhurriedly along the red carpet.
After walking through the red carpet, the father and daughter walked up the stairs one step at a time.
The soft light of the setting sun bathed the entire world. Dongfang Liuyun had just walked up the sixth step when she saw a ray of golden light shining from the stairs above. It was like the dawn breaking through the darkness and a warm feeling arose.
What kind of surprise did he want to give her?
At this moment, Dongfang Liuyun suddenly became nervous and subconsciously pulled Dongfang Gan’s arm tightly.
Dongfang Gan turned to look at her and smiled as he patted her hand, indicating that she should not be nervous.
After walking up the stairs, the ancient cathedral came into view. Dongfang Liuyun took a deep breath and heard the ancient bell ring. Then, Dongfang Gan let go of her hand.
“You and Qi Lei will continue the journey together now. Liuyun, promise me that you will be happy, understand?”
Dongfang Gan’s eyes were reddened and gentle.
Dongfang Liuyun nodded. “Yes, we will, Father!”
As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she quickly gave Dongfang Gan a hug.
“Then, go over. Qi Lei is waiting for you.”
Dongfang Gan encouraged her.
Dongfang Liuyun grunted a reply before walking forward.
After walking for quite some distance, they suddenly heard a light-hearted tune coming from behind them!
The light-hearted beat was joyful and familiar. It was the tune they used to play when they were playing games. It was also a very old video game song—
“Faraway From Home”
Before she could react, the piano music started playing. It was the main melody of the song.
Dongfang Liuyun was a little surprised. She quickly turned and looked to the music. She realized that on the opposite steps, bathed in the gentle sunset, a piano was placed there. The person sitting in front of the piano was playing. It was Qi Lei, who was dressed in an iron gray bridegroom’s gown.
He was playing very attentively. What Dongfang Liuyun could see was his distinct side profile. His long eyelashes and slender hands were still playing the black and white piano keys nimbly.
Every note that was emitted could be deeply transmitted into Dongfang Liuyun’s bones.
Dongfang Liuyun suddenly remembered the time when they played games together.
Speaking of which, they had started from a game. She had never thought that such a fate would be so inconceivable. However, perhaps this was the arrangement of the heavens. They were destined to meet and fated to be together.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Liuyun’s starry eyes suddenly became a little blurry and absent-minded. She stared blankly at him, who was quietly playing under the golden light.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly felt a soft touch on her face. A faint fragrance drifted in the warm air. subconsciously, she felt a softness at the tip of her finger, only then did she slowly withdraw her gaze and look. Only then did she realize that what stopped at the tip of her finger was a pink peach petal…
She was stunned. Without thinking, more and more pink petals flew past her eyes. When she looked up, she saw the petals flying in the sky…
They flew past the ancient church, past the swaying branches, and across her face.
This scene made her feel exceptionally familiar. She thought about it for a moment before she remembered something. A warmth suddenly appeared in her heart, and she turned her head to look at him.
At this moment, Qi Lei had already stopped what he was doing, but this happy rhythm did not stop.
He slowly stood up, holding a large bouquet of beautiful red roses in his hand as he walked towards her. He did not stop until he was in front of her.
Dongfang Liuyun did not move at all. She looked at him in a daze. At this moment, her eyes could not help but turn red. He also lowered his head and quietly looked at her.
“You…” Dongfang Liuyun spoke faintly, but she did not know how to continue.
Qi Lei took a deep breath and handed the flowers in his hand to her. Dongfang Liuyun naturally accepted it.
“I still remember the joy of witnessing the victory when we triumphed over the dark base. You said that you also wanted to experience the joy of a peach blossom. Today, on our wedding day, I will personally fulfill this wish for you. It is this scene, this song, and when the sun is setting, it is this same old cathedral.”
“In this compet.i.tion for love, we are all winners and heroes. We will continue to fight for the long days ahead. Dongfang Liuyun, if I tell you that I love you, will you be willing to be with me forever?”
His deep voice was filled with emotional gentleness. In her ears, it was naturally very pleasing. She suddenly felt that at this moment, her eyes were even hotter, and the heart in her chest was beating intensely.
If her journey alone from before was just to wait for his arrival, she thought that even if she had to wait a few more years, she would not care and would not feel wronged. It would be fine as long as the person she waited for in the end was him.
She took a deep breath, blinked, and raised her head. Her clear and moving gaze looked through the gauze in front of her as she looked at the petals flying in the sky. She thought of that spirited youth, that joy, how could it compare to the feeling and shock he gave her at this moment?
Suddenly, she could not control her limbs as she leaned into his embrace. She wrapped her arms around his waist and nodded hard—
“Thank you… I love you too, I want to stay by your side for the rest of my life.”
