A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Su Fan stayed at Shan Hai Cinema until evening, and the conversation always revolved around the production of "Under One Person".

For the next period of time, he focused most of his energy on rehearsing for the Spring Festival Gala.

In addition to his song "The Sound of the River Enters the Old Year," Hanggai Band's "Reincarnation" also passed the review and was officially included in the Spring Festival Gala program.

Therefore, Su Fan not only had to prepare his own show, but also occasionally had to take time to visit the Hanggai Band.

Fortunately, Agula and the others performed very steadily on stage and did not panic when facing the Spring Festival Gala stage.

With the help of Wu Enqi personally adjusting the coordination between the long song, throat singing and the band's performance, the rehearsals for "Reincarnation" proceeded very smoothly.

And so, the days passed one by one.

That day, Su Fan had just finished rehearsing and was preparing to pack up and leave when Yuan Shanshan called.

After the call connected, Yuan Shanshan casually asked, "What are you busy with?"

Su Fan sat on the edge of the stage, unscrewing a bottle of mineral water as he replied, "Nothing much, just busy with something. How's the preparation going on your end?"

Yuan Shanshan sighed softly, "What else can I do? You only realize how much there is to get married. Hotels, wedding candies, invitations, you have to worry about everything. By the way, you don't need to pick up Aunt Liu. Brother Jie will bring her along."

Su Fan took a sip of water: "Okay, when will they arrive?"

Yuan Shanshan thought for a moment and said, "It must have been the afternoon before the wedding. Brother Jie said he knew the way and told you not to worry about it. If you're busy lately, just focus on your own things."

Su Fan asked with a smile, "You're getting married, not cutting ties with me, so why are you suddenly being so polite?"

Yuan Shanshan said irritably, "I'm afraid you'll go through all that trouble. Aunt Liu always says you have too many things to do these days, and tells us not to bother you with everything."

"No matter how many things I have to do, nothing is more important than your wedding. After they arrive in Kyoto, have Brother Jie call me and I'll pick them up."

Yuan Shanshan couldn't help but probe, "Do you remember when the wedding was?"

Su Fan answered without hesitation: "The 20th of the twelfth lunar month."

Yuan Shanshan was somewhat surprised: "How come you remember it so clearly this time?"

Su Fan said matter-of-factly, "I wrote the date in my memo, I see it every morning. Someone as reliable as me wouldn't fall into the same trap twice, right? By the way, Sister Shan, let's set the wedding venue at my place."

Yuan Shanshan was slightly taken aback: "Where are you picking up the bride?"

"Yes, you and Aunt Liu can move in in advance. It will be more convenient for makeup and wedding preparations, and everyone won't have to squeeze into the hotel."

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"

"Why are you being so polite with me? You're my sister, and my place is your maternal home. Other people leave their wedding homes, but you can't just be picked up from a hotel by anyone."

The other end of the phone went silent.

Yuan Shanshan grew up in an orphanage. After her marriage was arranged, although she didn't say anything, she always had a small regret in her heart.

When other women get married, their parents help with the arrangements, and they also have a place that can be called their maternal home.

She had originally planned to book a room at a hotel and depart directly from there on the wedding day.

She hadn't expected that Su Fan had already thought of everything for her.

After a moment, Yuan Shanshan said in a seemingly relaxed tone, "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. Just so you know, don't be upset if the yard gets a mess from our decorations."

Su Fan said with a smile, "Do whatever you want. Just focus on being a good bride and leave everything else to us."

Yuan Shanshan's voice held a hint of amusement: "Okay, then it'll be at your place."

Su Fan nodded: "That's right. We have everything we need. When your brother-in-law comes to pick you up, he should know that you're not getting married alone."

……

Time quickly came to the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

As the year draws to a close, the train station is filled with people dragging their luggage back to their hometowns.

The sounds of broadcasts, footsteps, and conversations mingled together, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the Chinese New Year.

Su Fan waited in the crowd for a while and soon spotted Aunt Liu and Zhao Jie.

Zhao Jie was dragging two suitcases, while Aunt Liu was carrying a cloth bag.

Su Fan quickly went to greet her and took the things from Aunt Liu's hands: "Aunt Liu, you must be tired from your journey."

When Aunt Liu saw him, a smile immediately appeared on her face, but she couldn't help but complain, "I told you not to pick me up. You can go about your own business. It's not like Xiao Jie and I don't know the way."

Su Fan smiled and said, "What could I possibly be busy with? Besides, it's a rare opportunity for you to come to Kyoto, how could I let you find your way around on your own? I'll show you around these next few days."

Aunt Liu shook her head: "I'll go back after Shanshan's wedding. The children in the courtyard are all at home, and I'm worried about leaving them for too long."

Su Fan said helplessly, "It's not like there's no one to take care of them in the courtyard. Aunt Pan and the others are all here. Those little ones won't go hungry or cold. You can stay in Kyoto for a few more days without worry."

Aunt Liu was still unwilling: "Then we can't stay too long. I've heard that food and accommodation in Kyoto are very expensive, and it would cost a lot of money every day."

Su Fan reassured him, "You can stay at my place for free, and my meals will cover everything. Since you're here, just relax and enjoy yourself for a few days. Don't keep thinking about spending money wherever you go."

Aunt Liu glared at him: "Your money doesn't come from thin air, you still need to save where you can."

Su Fan nodded repeatedly: "Okay, whatever you say. Let's settle in first, and we can discuss the rest later."

As they talked, they walked towards the parking lot.

Upon arriving at the car, Su Fan put the luggage in the trunk, then opened the back door and let Aunt Liu in.

Zhao Jie walked around the car and couldn't help but reach out and touch the body: "Xiao Fan, your car must be quite expensive, right? I heard that this model costs over a million."

Su Fan casually replied, "Really? I don't know the exact price either."

Zhao Jie paused, turned to look at him: "It's your own car, don't you know how much it costs?"

"It's not like I bought it."

"Where did it come from?"

"A gift from a fan."

Zhao Jie was dumbfounded: "What kind of brainless fan would give you a car worth over a million?"

Aunt Liu, who had just gotten into the car, also heard this and immediately leaned back out, asking seriously, "Xiao Fan, was it really a gift from someone else?"

Su Fan nodded: "I guess so."

Aunt Liu's smile vanished instantly: "We can't just accept something so valuable. No matter what their reasons are, we can't take advantage of them. Now that you have some fame, you need to be even more careful about these things, so as not to give anyone a handle to use against you."

Zhao Jie nodded in agreement: "Aunt Liu is right. It's fine for ordinary fans to give small gifts, but a car worth over a million is too extravagant. Who knows what kind of favors they might ask you to do in the future?"

Seeing that the two were genuinely worried, Su Fan stopped teasing them.

He opened the driver's side door and explained with a smile, "I was just kidding you guys."

Aunt Liu said, "You child, how old are you? You're still so mischievous."

Su Fan did not explain that the car was given to him by Ye Yao.

Some things are better left to their own devices.

The car slowly drove out of the parking lot and merged into the traffic flow in Kyoto.
