"The camera crew is ready, you two. Can we start the livestream?"
Li Dan nodded, "Let's begin!"
Cheng Huanhuan, a famous female host from Magic City, stood in front of the camera, dressed in a festive red outfit and holding a microphone.
"Good morning, everyone! Today, I have the honor of hosting the wedding of Zhang Yao and Li Dan. This exemplary couple has always been a role model in our entertainment industry."
"After today, they won't just be an exemplary couple, but an exemplary married couple!"
"Li Dan, let me ask you, are you excited today?"
Li Dan smiled at the camera and nodded.
"I'm so excited! Thank you to all my friends for coming. Thank you for your continued support and attention. Thank you to the Douyu and Huya platforms. I hope today's wedding will be a complete success."
Cheng Huanhuan said, "Absolutely! Let's see who's attending as guests today!"
The camera turned to the outside of the venue, where celebrities were arriving one after another on the red carpet.
Everyone was dressed to the nines, as if they were really walking a red carpet.
The autograph wall was covered with names, showing that the couple had quite a few friends in the industry.
Lin Chudong and his group got out of the car, with a guitar on his back. As they walked over, Cheng Huanhuan quickly stepped forward.
"Hello, Da Fei. Your performance at the last music festival was fantastic! Could you tell our audience about your new band's plans? Do you have any plans for a national tour?"
Normally, Da Fei would have talked at length to the camera.
Saying things like "I'm a cheap and good worker, with little to do" wouldn't really fit today.
Da Fei shook his head, lowering his head as he brushed past the camera.
All that could be seen in the shot was his dejected expression.
Quickly, on the streaming platform, some viewers started leaving sarcastic comments.
"Oh, Da Fei's really gotten full of himself, huh? This is Magic City's famous Cheng Huanhuan, and he doesn't even acknowledge her?"
"He's acting all high and mighty. A world tour? Can their band even afford a concert?"
"Da Fei looks heartbroken. What's going on?"
"Don't ask, he's just full of himself."
"..."
Da Fei's appearance was just a fleeting moment. The comments section just threw out a few insults, because his expression really was a bit disrespectful.
But the next person to appear completely overshadowed Da Fei's brief moment.
"It's Lin Qiqi! She's the lead actress in several hit dramas this year."
Cheng Huanhuan also stepped forward, "Qiqi, you look so beautiful today. Do you have anything you want to say to the audience?"
Lin Qiqi's eyes were fixed ahead. She had just seen Lin Chudong get out of the car and originally wanted to go over and say a few words, but her high heels and long dress made her walk too slowly, and she didn't catch up.
The camera had already turned towards her, so Lin Qiqi had to turn back and smile at the camera.
"Today is Li Dan's big day. I wish them a lifetime of happiness and a long and loving marriage."
After speaking, Lin Qiqi hurried inside, as if chasing after someone.
Cheng Huanhuan didn't say much either; there were still many guests behind, all of whom were important, and the cameras couldn't miss them.
About an hour after people started arriving, everyone was finally in place.
Everyone took their seats on the lawn. There weren't many guests present, only two or three hundred people, but the live stream had a huge audience, nearly a million.
Seeing Lin Qiqi come out, the barrage was filled with "wife," her popularity surpassing everyone else's.
Li Dan, in her wedding dress, stood with Zhang Yao in the center of the stage, the focus of everyone's attention.
Even other scheming female celebrities who wanted to ride the coattails of the event couldn't compare to the woman in the wedding dress.
Cheng Huanhuan stood on the stage, "It's an honor to host this wedding. Next..."
Cheng Huanhuan was about to start the program when Li Dan suddenly spoke.
"Wait a moment."
Everyone was stunned, and the cameraman didn't stop filming.
After all, this wasn't a gala. Although it was live, there was no need to be so rigid at a wedding. Even if something went wrong, it was within a manageable range.
"What's wrong?"
Li Dan said, "For this wedding, I invited many friends from the industry. This morning, Da Fei specifically sent me a WeChat message, saying he wanted to perform a song for me at my wedding. I'd really like to hear it."
Cheng Huanhuan was taken aback. She didn't expect Li Dan and Lin Chudong to be so close?
With so many big names in the audience, the wedding performance was actually going to be done by Lin Chudong?
"Alright, please welcome Da Fei to give us a wonderful performance!"
Cheng Huanhuan didn't say anything rashly. It was hard to say who was right or wrong in Da Fei's situation with the band, so it was best not to comment and risk offending anyone later.
Lin Chudong, guitar on his back, arrived at the performance area, which was adjacent to the wedding stage.
A chair, a microphone, a guitar.
The scene was simple yet beautiful, naturally calming the heart.
Lin Chudong sat on the chair, dressed in a formal suit, his face etched with a melancholic expression that seemed to tell a thousand stories.
Lin Chudong held the natural wood-colored guitar in his arms, his gaze filled with deep affection and tenderness.
"I'm very happy to be here at Li Dan's wedding. I'd like to perform a new song, 'Guest,' for everyone."
He gently strummed the strings, and a soothing, melancholic melody filled the air.
The camera zoomed in on Lin Chudong, giving close-ups of his guitar and face.
All eyes in the room were on him.
"How many winters have passed since the breakup?
What day of the week is it? I occasionally think of you. Your sudden text message...
Caught me off guard. I stood there stunned..."
His low voice captivated the audience.
However, many people were puzzled. It was a wedding, after all. Shouldn't he be singing something celebratory, upbeat, and full of blessings? What was all this talk about breakups? It seemed a bit out of place. Even if he was trying to get attention, this felt a bit inappropriate.
Next, Lin Chudong's fingers switched to strumming, and the bridge before the chorus began to build the emotion.
"When everyone's happy for you, I'm only just waking up. Turns out someone's already made a wedding dress for you!"
"Thank you for the special invitation, to witness your love."
"I constantly remind myself not to run away."
"Holding the wedding invitation, I walk closer step by step, to the venue he's carefully arranged."
"It's a beautiful scene, but it's yours, and I'm just a guest!"
Hearing this, some people finally understood.
This seems a little off, doesn't it?
The lyrics? They fit the atmosphere a little too well, don't they?
Suddenly, everyone had an astonishing thought.
Li Dan, is she Da Fei's ex-girlfriend?
"I've let go of all my memories, to complete your love."
"But I still don't want to believe, this is fate."
"You, whom I haven't seen in a long time, are a little distant, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries so politely."
"Why do I have to deliberately hide, in front of him, that you were in my world?"
The comments section exploded at this moment.
"Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Li Dan is actually Da Fei's ex-girlfriend!"
"When did this happen? I remember Li Dan was with Zhang Yao when she first debuted, right?"
"This is so damn dramatic! A love triangle showing up at a wedding? They're already married!"
"But Da Fei seems so devoted. He must really love Li Dan."
"Wait, seriously? It's just a song. Is she really the ex-girlfriend?"
"Of course! It's all happening at the wedding! Didn't you see Da Fei's expression? I felt something was off when Cheng Huanhuan interviewed him earlier. Turns out there's this connection?"
"The lyrics are so obvious, aren't they? I'm almost crying. It's confirmed, she's the ex!"
Cheng Huanhuan stood on the stage, completely bewildered. Was this going to turn into a scene at the wedding?
