1201 to be your pride
gu yiqiu walked to gu tingshen’s side and squatted down. she placed both her hands on her father’s left thigh. with her face against the back of her hand, gu yiqiu said softly, ” dad, ah qiu has grown up. ”
gu tingshen tilted his head and looked elsewhere.
he said, ” your mother risked her life to give you life at the risk of her old age. i feel terrible to give you away to someone else. ” huo tingshen looked at the calligraphy on the wall to his right, his eyes a little wet.
gu yiqiu looked up and saw gu tingshen’s red left eye.
she didn’t feel good either.
“dad,” he said. gu yiqiu wrapped her arms around her father’s waist. ” no matter what, i’m still your daughter. this will never change. ” but dad, i’m a woman. i’m not just someone’s daughter. i’ll also be someone else’s lover, someone else’s daughter-in-law, and in the future, i’ll also be the mother of my child.”
“dad, you have to let go and let me find my own life.”
to every parent who had a daughter, when their daughter was discussing marriage, it was the most torturous time in their hearts.
they both looked forward to their daughter’s happy marriage, their children’s marriage in the future, and someone to accompany her until she grew old. but on the other hand, they couldn’t bear for their daughter to leave their side. they were also worried that their daughter’s life after marriage would be unfortunate.
as parents, they had many concerns and uneasiness.
gu tingshen understood that gu yiqiu’s words made sense, but he couldn’t bear to let go of his baby who was about to get married. “let me be alone.”
boxn ov el. c o mhe stood up and walked towards the courtyard.
gu yiqiu squatted on the ground and looked at her father’s posture. he was no longer as tall and straight as he was when he was young. she felt a lump in her throat.
she didn’t know when it had started, but her father had secretly grown old without her noticing. in fact, ever since his mother was critically ill and had been on the verge of death several times, his father had begun to grow old.
gu yiqiu lowered her head and wiped her nose. she mumbled an apology.
on new year’s day, the second son of the fang family and the youngest daughter of the gu family held an engagement ceremony. after the new year, gu yiqiu returned to school to study and fang zikai returned to the United States.
two years later, fang zikai successfully obtained his master’s degree from julia music academy. he rejected the invitation of a famous new York symphony orchestra and returned to china.
after returning to the country, fang zikai held a concert in his own name.
at the concert, fang zikai performed a world-class classic and also performed his own composition in public for the first time. the music event lasted for an hour and a half.
when the performance was about to end, fang zikai got off the stage to change his clothes.
he went back on stage in a white tuxedo. he stood in front of the microphone, and his clear voice spread throughout the entire performance hall. “i’m fang zikai. since i was young, i’ve never been as smart as my brother, nor as cute as my sister. they all said that if there were three children in a family, the eldest would be the most valued one, and the youngest would be the most doted on. the second in the middle is the one who is most easily ignored.”
when the audience below heard this, they were all a little stunned.
what was fang zikai trying to do?
qiao jiusheng and fang zicheng looked at each other.
was he planning to publicly vent his dissatisfaction at the concert?
seeing everyone’s nervous reaction, fang zikai smiled again. “however, i want to thank my parents. even if i always caused trouble for them, they never blamed me. i want to thank them for loving me with the same amount of love. i’m not as smart as big brother, and i’m not as smart and cute as little sister.”
fang zikai bowed deeply to the audience, ” all these years, i have to thank my parents the most. thank you for letting me feel what love is. ”
” i’ve met so many people on my way to maturity. the person i’m most grateful to and respect is called fang yusheng. ” fang yusheng was sitting in the audience. when he heard this, he looked a little embarrassed.
” he is my father. he is over fifty years old, but he is still a handsome and charming uncle. ” fang zikai pointed at fang yusheng’s seat. fang yusheng was sitting in the front row, in the middle.
fang zikai said, ” thank you for leading me back on the right path when i almost went the wrong way. thank you for cleaning up my mess.” he smiled and said, ” i came into contact with music and took this path because of my father. my father was actually a person with a great musical talent. i’ve heard the performances of so many famous masters, but in my eyes, they’re not as good as my father.”
“i’ll always remember when i was young, my father standing in the living room and playing the violin. there was an unfathomable soul hidden in the sound of his violin. i long to be someone like him.”
“dad, i want to be your pride.”
fang zikai took a deep breath and said, ” next, i’m going to play the last song for the day. it’s a song i wrote myself and it’s called ‘gratitude’. ” the lights at the venue suddenly went out.
on the high platform, a gentle white light lit up.
fang zikai stood in the light, his white shirt and white pants made him look like a little angel.
fang yusheng closed his eyes and listened to fang zikai wholeheartedly playing the music he had written for his parents. this was a very gentle song. fang zikai’s compositions were always so energetic and full of vitality. but this song was as gentle as the breeze in spring.
it was a warm early spring, and the green grass in the yard had sprouted, looking green. the chubby little guy still didn’t know how to walk. he walked like a drunk old man, and he would fall after a dozen steps.
he lay on the ground and looked at the tall man in front of him. his voice was cute and sweet. ” dad, dad … ” the little guy cried out to the person in front of him, wanting him to carry him.
the man turned around and stared at the chubby boy.
he had a pair of beautiful green eyes and a head of slightly long golden-brown hair. he stood in the distance and looked down at the chubby boy. he said, ” fang jingjing, life is so long. daddy can only accompany you for a while. i can’t accompany you to the end. do you need dad to help you every time you fall?”
the man crossed his arms and said to him sternly, ” get up. you have to learn how to walk alone.”
the april breeze blew, and the chubby child had turned into a handsome young man.
he pulled the strings, and the beautiful and gentle sound of the violin spread throughout the performance hall.
at the end of the song, the hall burst into applause, which lasted for a long time.
after the performance, friends and family ran backstage to congratulate fang zikai. when fang yusheng saw fang zikai, he couldn’t help but give him a hug. “you’ve always been my pride, child.” fang yusheng whispered into fang zikai’s ear.
fang zikai laughed in embarrassment, ” i know. ”
