The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

Xu's father and mother were both summoned by Lu Yuan.

It was a combination of coaxing and deception.

Mr. Xu was definitely against it at first; what would it look like if he went to that kind of occasion?

But Lu Yuan won over the stubborn old man with just one sentence.

"Don't you want to see the second most beautiful moment of your daughter's life?"

For a father, the most beautiful moment for his daughter is definitely her wedding.

The second most beautiful moment... could it be the proposal?!

"Is Lu Yuan going to propose during the performance?"

The elderly couple discussed it at home and realized they had no choice but to go.

The two of them mustered up their courage, put on hats and masks, and went outside.

I always carry disinfectant alcohol with me.

I entered the livehouse with the help of a guide arranged in advance by Lu Yuan.

When the elderly couple entered, they realized they hadn't prepared enough.

They always pay attention to dressing appropriately and behaving properly when they go out, and deep down they are full of the introverted and conservative spirit of the older generation.

So they nervously clutched their admission tickets as they entered the venue, which was full of young people.

As soon as the deafening sound of the instruments rang out, the two of them subconsciously frowned and awkwardly moved to a corner.

Looking at the trendy-dressed audience around him, he felt completely out of place and awkward.

Although it far exceeded their expectations, today's young people still amazed them.

It's like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

Humans are products of their environment, in their everyday surroundings.

For a young person to wear ripped jeans is already considered very rebellious.

But here you can see brightly colored hair, earrings, tattoos, and cigarettes everywhere...

Old Xu even saw someone with a ring on his nose, like the Bull Demon King, which greatly shocked the old man.

But it was Xu's mother who made the first change.

Because when the lights suddenly focused on the center of the stage, her own daughter stood under the spotlight, holding a microphone, and began to sing.

She used to be a well-behaved little girl at home, speaking softly and gently.

At this moment, her eyes shone brightly as she calmly and passionately sang along to the melody.

This confident and relaxed demeanor was a vibrant sight that Xu's mother had never seen before.

Humans cannot imagine things beyond their perception.

Even if the person you're imagining is your daughter whom you've raised from childhood and know best.

No words could describe the feelings in Xu Ma's mind, especially when the audience below the stage started to cheer.

A strong sense of pride welled up within her.

This is her daughter, she looks like a big star!

Standing below the stage, Xu's mother frantically held up her phone to record short videos.

After taking photos with the original camera, I applied filters, using all sorts of random filters for elderly people.

I took so many photos at the livehouse that I almost filled up my 256MB phone memory.

My phone is full of pictures of my daughter's face.

However, in such a crowded place, if the audience in front of her were jumping around, it could easily block her view.

At times like this, she would nudge Lao Xu's arm.

He gestured for Lao Xu to come over and take the picture.

But Lao Xu stubbornly refused to film, and his body language clearly showed that he was angry.

Until the person who just brought them in.

That is, the supermarket owner downstairs, who was carrying a teacup, came over, looked at him, and shouted loudly in his ear:

"Brother, why are you crying?"

"The light is too bright."

"Oh, here, put on these sunglasses."

The supermarket owner downstairs took off his sunglasses and put them on Old Xu's face.

This time, Old Xu finally looked up and watched from the stands.

At that moment, the noisy drumbeats and soaring melodies seemed to no longer be jarring, and the surrounding clamor of voices seemed to recede into the distance.

Xu's mother quietly gripped Lao Xu's wrist, her eyes instantly welling up with tears. Her previously stiff and straight back slowly relaxed, and she stared intently at her daughter on the stage.

Old Xu's lips curled up uncontrollably, but fearing that others would see, he secretly raised his hand to wipe the moisture from the corner of his eyes.

They used to think that a stable and peaceful life was the right path.

That's actually what I think now.

They certainly know that people need hobbies, so they cultivate many hobbies in Xu Zhixiao from a young age, such as playing the piano.

Only now do they realize that the piano is not a hobby of any of the Xu family members; it is their hobby that is "letting their daughter learn the piano".

The fundamental reason why people speak good words when they are about to die is that they have let go of certain things.

Perhaps it's some obsession, an illusory lifestyle, or something else.

The elderly couple watched their daughter shine on her own stage, and their hearts swelled with an unprecedented sense of pride.

They looked at each other and smiled.

What more could I ask for than to see my incredibly happy daughter before I leave?

They didn't shout exaggeratedly; they just stood quietly at the back of the crowd, their chests brimming with a burning sense of pride.

It turns out that their well-behaved and reserved daughter can also have such a dazzling moment. After the song ended, the audience erupted in applause.

The two elders clapped enthusiastically along with the crowd, their hands turning red from clapping, as they looked at their daughter bowing and smiling on the stage.

Xu's mother had only one thought in her mind: This is our daughter, she's really promising.

Old Xu had only one thought in his mind, which he then aloud: "Luckily, I chose Xiao Lu as my matchmaker back then, right?"

"How come you chose it?"

"Should I tell you again the story of how I overruled all objections and chose Xiaolu among a group of matchmaking agencies?"

The elderly couple kept arguing about who decided to hire Xiao Lu as their matchmaker.

Of course, the core reason for the debate is...

Ultimately, it's because following Xiaolu (a pseudonym) will bring my daughter happiness.

The debate continued even after the performance ended, when Xu Zhixiao started calling Lu Yuan from the stage.

The elderly couple stared wide-eyed, ready to witness this scene.

Is he finally going to propose?

When Xu Zhixiao asked Lu Yuan to come over, Xu's mother felt something was wrong.

"Why does it sound like the daughter is proposing to Lu Yuan?"

"Who wants to be different?"

Ever since Lao Xu arrived at the scene, he seems to have become much younger.

I'm no longer going to dwell on who prayed for whom; as long as the prayer was answered, that's enough.

They heard Lu Yuan's voice coming through the phone's earpiece and then through the microphone.

"I'll settle this order with you."

Mrs. Xu looked at Mr. Xu in confusion: "What do you mean he settled the bill for this job?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xu broke out in a cold sweat.

He did know what "closing the bill" meant.

Because after his birthday party, Lu Yuan told him, "Marriage is not linked to happiness. This deal with Xu Zhixiao cannot be solved by marriage alone. If you cooperate with me, I have other ways to close the deal."

Old Xu readily agreed at the time.

Because he felt that his daughter and Lu Yuan would end up together sooner or later...

"This is bad." Old Xu was stunned: "If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have asked Lu Yuan to be my matchmaker."

"It's all because you insisted on going to him in the first place."

"You just said you were the one who found it!"
