Sinundan ni Han Xian Yu ang tingin ni Ye Wan Wan. "Anong tinitingnan mo?"
Ye Wanwan quickly moved to block Han Xianyu's eyes and asked him, "Xianyu, can you help me with something?"
Mabilis na hinarangan ni Ye Wan Wan ang mga mata ni Han Xian Yu at nagtanong ito, "Xian Yu, pwede mo ba akong tulungan?"
Han Xianyu replied, "Of course!"
Sumagot si Han Xian Yu, "Oo naman!"
Ye Wanwan requested, "Can I borrow the venue's acoustic equipment?"
Nanghingi ng tulong si Ye Wan Wan, "Pwede ko bang hiramin yung acoustic equipment ng lugar na ito?"
Han Xianyu didn't ask Ye Wanwan about what she wanted to do with it and answered promptly, "Of course you can. The equipment hasn't been moved yet, so I can just let them know."
Hindi na tinanong ni Han Xian Yu si Ye Wan Wan kung anong gagawin niya doon, bagkus sumagot na lamang siya, "Syempre naman. Hindi pa na-move ang mga equipment, kaya sasabihin ko na lang sa kanila."
Ye Wanwan was immensely grateful. "Thank you!"
Tuwang-tuwa si Ye Wan Wan. "Salamat!"
…
A moment later, Ye Wanwan re-entered the stage with a microphone in her hand.
Sa isang saglit, muling pumunta sa entablado si Ye Wan Wan at hawak niya ang mikropono sa kanyang kamay.
Dong. A bright spotlight landed on Ye Wanwan.
Dong. Sumikat ang maliwanag kay Ye Wan Wan.
Nameless Nie was sitting on the high wall, tears streaming and nose sniffling as the cold wind whipped past him.
Nakaupo sa mataas na pader si Nameless Nie, tumutulo ang mga luha at ang mga ilong ay suminghal nang umihip ang malamig na hangin sa kanya.
"Um, Ancestor, are we done yet?"
"Um, Tang Tang, tapos na ba tayo dito?"
Ye Wanwan was gone already, so what in the world was he looking at?
Wala na si Ye Wan Wan, kaya ano pa ang tinitingnan niya?
Nameless Nie was about to continue when a circle of light suddenly appeared on the stage, and a person appeared under the light.
Magsasalita pa sana si Nameless Nie nang biglang sumikat ang spotlight sa entablado at nasa ilalim nito ang isang tao na nakatayo sa entablado.
It was Ye Wanwan holding a microphone.
Si Ye Wan Wan iyon at may hawak siyang mikropono.
Nameless Nie was full of surprise. "Ah! Boss Ye!"
Nagulat si Nameless Nie. "Ah! Boss Ye!"
Why did she come back?
Bakit siya bumalik?
He naturally had no idea Ye Wanwan already noticed him on the wall…
Hindi niya alam na napansin pala siya ni Ye Wan Wan sa may pader...
Nameless Nie's eyes were focused on the stage, so he didn't see the disbelief and surprise on Little Devil's face when he saw Ye Wanwan suddenly appearing again.
Nakatutok ang mga mata ni Nameless Nie sa may entablado, kaya hindi niya nakitaan nang pagkagulat ang mukha ni Little Devil nang makita nito si Ye Wan Wan.
Backstage, Ye Mufan was excited. "Is Wanwan going to sing a song dedicated to me, her brother?"
Sabik na sabik si Ye Mu Fan sa likod ng entablado. "Kakanta si Ye Wan Wan ng isang kanta para sa akin, ako na kapatid niya?"
Too romantic!
Ang sweet niya naman!
Gong Xu had his arms crossed in front of his chest as he quietly grumbled, "Maybe she's singing a song to confess to me!"
Nakahalukipkip si Gong Xu at nagreklamo siya, "Malay mo, kakanta siya ng isang awitin para sabihin kung ano talaga ang nararamdaman niya sa akin!"
Luo Chen glanced at him dryly with an indescribable expression.
Iritable siyang tiningnan ni Luo Chen aat hindi mapinta ang itsura ng lalaking ito.
Gong Xu instantly bristled with anger. "D*mn! What's with that gaze of yours? Why couldn't Brother Ye be confessing to me?"
Biglang nagalit si Nameless Nie. "Punyeta! Bakit ganyan ang tingin mo? Hindi ba pwedeng umamin si Brother Ye sa akin?"
Soothing and warm music started playing, and Ye Wanwan's eyes nonchalantly swept toward Nameless Nie.
Nagsimulang tumugtog ang malumanay na musika, at ang mga mata ni Ye Wan Wan ay tumutok kay Nameless Nie.
She couldn't clearly see what Nameless Nie was doing as he held his phone, but she instinctively felt like he was video-calling Tangtang…
Hindi malinaw sa kanyang pananaw kung anong ginagawa ni Nameless Nie habang hawak nito ang kanyang phone, pero naisip niya na baka ka-video call niya si Tang Tang...
Simply because Tangtang said he wanted to hear Mommy sing earlier tonight.
Dahil sinabi ni Tang Tang kanina na gusto niyang marinig na kumanta si Mommy ngayong gabi.
After the prelude ended, Ye Wanwan slowly started singing…
Pagkatapos ng prelude, nagsimula nang kumanta si Ye Wan Wan...
"Buggy laying on my zither, listening to the music I softly play. Cricket kneeling beside me, humming a pleasant melody but thinking about who to share tomorrow's lunch with…"
Ye Wanwan looked distantly at Nameless Nie and continued singing, "Can't forget, hard to judge, how much trouble I bear alone. How I wish I could leave behind everything, bounding toward buggy's home…"
Tiningnan ni Ye Wan Wan si Nameless Nie at patuloy siyang kumanta, "Can't forget, hard to judge, how much trouble I bear alone. How I wish I could leave behind everything, bounding toward buggy's home…"
When Tangtang heard that last part on the other end, tears instantly started dripping down Tangtang's eyes and he placed his little hand over the phone screen, caressing his mom's eyes. "Mommy…"
Biglang naiyak si Tang Tang nang marinig niya ang huling parte ng awit ni Ye Wan Wan. Bigla niyang pinatong ang kamay niya sa phone screen, hinahaplos niya ang mata ng kanyang ina. "Mommy…"
"Buggy mad, buggy shout, buggy always sweeps away all my loneliness. Mosquito resting on my body and kissing my shoulders. Firefly, oh, you light the world to be brighter; even when the sky is overcast, we can see the shining stars. How I hope I can leave behind everything, bounding toward buggy's heaven…"
Currently, there wasn't a single person in the enormous stadium, and it was extremely quiet.
Walang tao sa malaking stadium at napaka tahimik ng lugar na iyon.
On the stage, the girl's longing and sorrowful voice was ethereal and made their hearts ache inexplicably.
Maririnig sa entablado ang malungkot na boses ng babae, ang mga puso nila ay biglang nalungkot habang pinapakinggan nila ang awit ni Ye Wan Wan.
Backstage, Ye Mufan rubbed his chin. "Who's the buggy Wanwan is singing about?"
Sa likod ng entablado, biglang hinaplos ni Ye Mu Fan ang kanyang baba. "Sino yung buggy na kinakantahan ni Ye Wan Wan?"
Gong Xu: "It's me! The buggy that Brother Ye is singing about must be me!"
Gong Xu: "Ako 'yon! Ako yung buggy na kinakantahan ni Brother Ye!"
Luo Chen: "…"
