A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Su Fan drove to the parking lot near his residence, parked the car, and then carried his luggage, leading Aunt Liu and Zhao Jie into the alley.

Blue bricks and gray tiles, deep and secluded alleyways.

There are hardly any modern high-rise buildings on either side of the road, only old houses with their gates tightly closed.

Zhao Jie looked around for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Fan, do you live here?"

Su Fan casually replied, "Yes."

Zhao Jie pointed to the surrounding courtyard walls, looking somewhat suspicious: "There aren't even any buildings around here. Where will you live? You can't possibly live in someone else's yard, can you?"

As they spoke, the three of them arrived at a vermilion courtyard gate.

Su Fan stopped and took out his keys from his pocket: "We're here, this is it."

Zhao Jie looked up at the gatehouse, then glanced along the courtyard wall to both sides. The doubt on his face instantly turned into shock: "You really live here? This is a whole courtyard house, how much is it worth?"

As Su Fan opened the door, he said, "It was a gift from a fan."

Hearing this familiar answer, Aunt Liu glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense! What kind of fan would be so brainless as to give you that whole yard?"

Zhao Jie nodded in deep agreement: "Is your fan's family bank-owning?"

Su Fan pushed open the courtyard gate and greeted them with a smile, "Alright, stop standing at the door studying it, come in first, Brother Cheng and the others should be here soon."

The group stepped over the threshold and entered the courtyard.

After passing the screen wall, a complete courtyard house came into view.

The main house and the east and west wing rooms are neatly arranged around the courtyard, with a few simple and rustic lamps hanging under the eaves.

In the middle of the courtyard stands an old tree. Although its leaves have all fallen, its vigorous branches add a sense of age to the entire courtyard.

The house has clearly been renovated, retaining its original layout while adding modern amenities.

Zhao Jie stood in the courtyard, remaining silent for a long time.

A courtyard like this wouldn't be cheap in other cities.

Moreover, this is Kyoto, where land is incredibly valuable.

He turned to look at Su Fan and asked again, "This entire courtyard is yours?"

Su Fan put his luggage on the veranda and nodded: "My name is on the property deed."

Before Aunt Liu could say anything, Su Fan said, "Aunt Liu, please sit down with Brother Jie for a while. I'll go pick up Sister Shan. Tomorrow, Sister Shan will leave from here. The room next door will be her wedding room, which will be convenient for makeup and the wedding procession."

Aunt Liu looked at the spacious courtyard in front of her, her eyes gradually softening: "Good, it's good to get married from here. The courtyard feels like a home, and Shanshan will have a proper family home."

Su Fan said with a smile, "That's exactly what I mean. Although we don't have many people, we can't be missing anything we need."

Zhao Jie glanced at Su Fan, then at the courtyard, and couldn't help but sigh, "If Shan Shan were to get married from here, the groom's family wouldn't dare to underestimate her when they come to fetch her."

Su Fan raised an eyebrow: "That's perfect. Let him know in advance that our Sister Shan also has family backing her up."

……

The group sat in the courtyard and chatted for a while.

After settling Aunt Liu and Zhao Jie in, Su Fan checked the time and drove to the hotel where the wedding was being held.

The wedding is tomorrow, and the decorations in the banquet hall are almost finished.

Staff are adjusting the lights and sound system, and the stage is decorated with flowers on both sides.

Yuan Shanshan stood below the stage with the process sheet in hand, still confirming details with the wedding company staff.

Seeing Su Fan walk in, she immediately went to greet him: "Xiao Fan, did you pick up Aunt Liu?"

Su Fan nodded: "I received them. Aunt Liu and Brother Jie are with me."

Yuan Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. It's Aunt Liu's first time in Kyoto, and I was worried that she wouldn't be used to it on the way."

Su Fan reached out and took the process sheet from her hand, glanced through it briefly, and said, "Alright, leave the rest to the professionals. Hurry up and get ready, come back with me first. We need to get up early to do our makeup tomorrow."

Yuan Shanshan glanced back at the stage, still somewhat uneasy: "There are still a few steps that haven't been confirmed."

Su Fan handed the process sheet to the staff member next to him: "If there are any problems, have them notify us in the group. You paid a wedding planning company to take care of things for you. If you keep going like this, you'll get married tomorrow with dark circles under your eyes, and even the makeup artist won't be able to save you."

Just as the two were talking, the wedding officiant walked over from the side of the stage.

At first, he only felt that Su Fan looked somewhat familiar, but after getting closer and seeing him clearly, his expression immediately became excited.

The emcee tentatively asked, "Excuse me, are you Professor Su Fan?"

Su Fan smiled and nodded: "It's me. Tomorrow is my sister's wedding. I'll have to trouble you to take care of everything."

The emcee was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at Yuan Shanshan.

He had officiated at many weddings and had learned about both families in advance, but he had never heard that Yuan Shanshan had a younger brother named Su Fan.

Such big news, yet there wasn't a single whisper of it outside.

The emcee quickly recovered and his smile became even warmer: "No trouble at all, not at all. This is our job. Miss Yuan's willingness to entrust the wedding to us shows her trust in us."

Su Fan pointed to the process sheet in his hand: "What steps do we need to cooperate with tomorrow? Please make it clear in advance, especially the times for picking up the bride, entering the venue, and toasting. It would be best to confirm with both sides again."

The emcee quickly agreed, "No problem, we'll send the final schedule to the group chat tonight."

At this point, he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up slightly: "Teacher Su, would you like to sing a song at the wedding tomorrow? It can be done before the newlyweds toast, which can not only liven up the atmosphere, but also be considered as your blessing to your sister and brother-in-law. If you are willing, I will add this part now."

After listening to the suggestion, Su Fan actually thought it was a good one.

Upon learning that Yuan Shanshan was preparing for her wedding, he presented her with a song suitable for the occasion.

However, he originally planned to upload the recording directly to NetEase Cloud Music as a gift for the newlyweds, and did not intend to sing it at the wedding.

After all, the main characters of a wedding are the bride and groom.

Given his current popularity, if news of his live performance is released in advance, he could easily steal the spotlight from the two newcomers.

Now that the emcee has taken the initiative to suggest incorporating the song into a blessing segment of the wedding, it is quite appropriate.

After a moment's thought, Su Fan agreed: "Okay, you can arrange which part it's in. Let me know the time after you've decided."

The emcee was overjoyed: "Do we need to rehearse beforehand? We can adjust the lighting and stage effects according to the song."

Su Fan shook his head: "No need for special rehearsals. I'll send you the accompaniment in a bit. Just make sure the equipment is working properly. As for when you're going on stage, just send me the schedule."

The emcee couldn't help but ask, "Would you mind giving me a heads-up about which song you'll be singing?"

Su Fan smiled and said, "I'll send it to you in a bit."
