The lights suddenly went out just as the performance entranced everyone.
The enormous Haitian Hall suddenly fell into an endless silence.
This sudden change sent everyone into an instant shock.
In an instant, there was a commotion as everyone burst out in surprise.
"What happened?""
"Is there a power failure?"
"Heavens! What's going on?”
"Where are the staff?"
Haitian Hall was in chaos, and many people kept complaining.
Since the light suddenly went out when everyone was in the midst of watching a wonderful performance, all of them became upset.
"Qianqian, what's going on? Is it really a power failure?" asked Qiu Mu-Cheng worriedly in the darkness as she asked Su Qian and the others beside her.
Situ Feng laughed and comforted her before Su Qian replied, "Mu-Cheng, calm down. Just wait for the show."
"Yes, Mu-Cheng. The show has only just started," replied Yuan Yuan and the others with an inexplicable smile on their faces.
Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't help feeling perplexed.
It felt as though everyone was in the know, and only she was kept in the dark.
What was going on exactly?
A song quietly played all of a sudden while Qiu Mu-Cheng was kept in suspense.
The rhythm was bright and sounded like water as it flowed across the mountains while a gentle breeze swept across the land.
The entire hall fell into silence again.
The crowd went quiet as they listened to the melodious piano playing.
The dim stage lights finally came back on.
Then everyone finally caught sight of the stage.
A pianist was playing the piano while the dancers danced in accompaniment.
The vivid lights flooded the stage like starlight.
A man in a white suit stood amid the melodious music with a bouquet in hand as he stood within the spotlights. He walked over like he was treading on starlight as he slowly walked down the milky way.
"WOW!"
"He's so cool!"
Everyone went into a commotion.
Qiu Mu-Cheng went into a slight shock and asked, "Is that... Fan Zhong-Xian? Qianqian, what's he doing? Is Fan Zhong-Xian a part of the performance?" Qiu Mu-Cheng muttered in surprise.
Su Qian chuckled as she said, "Mu-Cheng, just keep watching."
The piano was sweet-sounding, and the song was melodious.
The instant Fan Zhong-Xian appeared, he became the center of attention.
Everyone cheered when Fan Zhong-Xian stood amid the romantic lights with a bouquet of fresh flowers while music played in the background.
Fan Zhong-Xian stared ahead with a profound look in his eyes. He kept gazing fixedly when his eyes eventually landed on Qiu Mu-Cheng.
His passionate words were accompanied by music in the background.
"Mu-Cheng, do you know? All these years, I have seen all seasons and gone all over the country to visit extraordinary sights.
But the beauty of the seasons and our lands cannot compare to your smile."
The music was melodious, and the lights flickered.
The vivid spotlights bathed Fan Zhong-Xian gloriously as he recited passionately.
The huge screen behind him kept projecting beautiful images while Fan Zhong-Xian professed his love.
There were images of the spring sun, lotuses in the summer, red leaves swirling in the air in the fall, and the snow-white winter.
"Mu-Cheng, my life was nothing but darkness before I met you. I roamed in eternal darkness and felt around as I advanced until the day you appeared in my life. You were the ray of light that lighted up my life. Ever since then, I have decided to chase after your light for the rest of my life. And now, this song is for the woman of my dreams.
The music started the moment he
finished.
Fan Zhong-Xian stood loftily at center stage with the microphone in hand as the song, 'Light Chaser', reverberated through the hall.
