Chapter 10 Ending: You and them are the world I am willing to look up to
From the very beginning, our earnestness and passion will not be in vain.
Up to now, the things we have encountered seem not many, but it seems that we have experienced the ups and downs of our entire youth. But it’s okay, because in the end, we are still ourselves, and we have met better people.
The spotlight shone on Shen Muxi's head. She was wearing a slim-fitting dress with her long hair draped behind her back. She looked more mature and intellectual than at first.
There was no one in the audience whom she wanted to invite, but those who sat there were those who wanted to hear her sing.
This was her childhood dream and she should be proud of it.
Shen Muxi held the microphone in her hand and her eyes fell on He Yue on the right side of the stage. He Yue smiled at her to show encouragement.
This man gave her a lot of courage.
Shen Muxi smiled and held up the microphone, saying, "I am very grateful to my alma mater for providing me with this venue, and thank you to all the juniors who came here to support me." She looked around the audience and said with emotion, "I have only spent four years here in my 25 years of life, but I have encountered more things in these four years than in my first half of my life. My dream is to become a singer and one day stand on a dazzling stage and sing for everyone. I have done it now, although I am the only one left among the three girls in my dream."
Shen Muxi forced herself to suppress the sobs in her throat and continued, "But it doesn't matter, because I promised them that I would keep moving forward with their dreams and become the best version of myself. In fact, a lot of things have happened between the three of us over the past few years. We've had fights, quarrels, and separations, but in the end we still cherish each other and regard each other as the most important people in our lives. I'm very grateful to fate that in the end they are still by my side, and I met the best teacher in my life and... and my Mr. He."
There was a burst of screams and applause from the audience. Shen Muxi smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, saying, "I've said a little too much. Let's sing first. The first song is dedicated to the years of friendship. I hope you can cherish the most important friends in your life."
After that, she put her hands down, the lights dimmed, and as the music progressed, the lights on the stage began to soften.
This song about friendship is from Shen Muxi's new album, and she wrote both the lyrics and the music by herself.
She believed that even if Xiao Anning and Sunai were not present today, as long as they heard this song, they would understand what she wanted to say to them.
Shen Muxi was singing affectionately on the stage. It seemed as if she could see the blue sea in front of her eyes, and three little girls around seven or eight years old were playing barefoot on the beach.
The song ended and all the lights on the stage went out.
Shen Muxi didn't know that Li Chuan and He Yue actually prepared a special surprise for her.
There were two lights behind Shen Muxi, and the audience was all excited. Shen Muxi didn't understand what was going on, and at this moment, a cappella song sounded in the gymnasium.
This a cappella song was the one that Shen Muxi had just sung, with one main voice and one chorus, and the coordination was extremely perfect.
Shen Muxi turned around in surprise, only to see Xiao Anning and Sunai appear behind her. They were holding flowers in their hands, walking slowly towards her, humming the songs she had sung before.
She had been able to hold back her sobs when she spoke just now, but now she could no longer do so.
On the stage, she started crying, like a child who had reunited with her family after a long separation.
Seeing this, Xiao An Ning trotted over, hugged Shen Muxi, and scolded: "Why are you crying? You are so beautiful today. We finally prepared a surprise for you."
Shen Muxi was so happy that she cried. She couldn't say a word at the moment. She hugged Xiao Anning and looked at Sunai who was standing behind her, stretching her hand towards her. Sunai's eyes sparkled as she came over, holding Shen Muxi's hand, and then hugged the two girls in front of her.
He Yue and Li Chuan in the audience looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Just as Shen Muxi said, thanks to fate, they are still together in the end.
Because of the arrival of Sunai and Xiao Anning, Shen Muxi's subsequent singing was very successful and ignited the enthusiasm of the whole audience.
After the concert, Li Chuan invited everyone to a dinner party, but Shen Muxi sneaked out through the back door with Su Nai and Xiao An Ning.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, at a street corner in Shanghai, three girls were chasing each other.
Xiao Anning pulled Shen Muxi, who was running in the front, lowered her hat brim and said, "Don't let others recognize you!"
Shen Muxi didn't care about these. She led the way and said, "The old place, let's buy beer and skewers, and go to the beach!"
In the early morning, they went to a bridal shop to rent a wedding dress and two bridesmaids dresses, and then ran to the beach with a bunch of beer and barbecue.
Shen Muxi and Xiao An Ning said that they would hold a wedding for Su Nai at the beach with only the bride and bridesmaids.
On the beach, they sat together, clinking beer cans, eating barbecue, talking about marriage and having children, and occasionally getting up to chase each other. Xiao Anning, who loves money like his life, said, "Don't get your clothes dirty, they are rented!"
Shen Muxi patted her chest and said righteously: "If you get it dirty, I'll buy it for you!"
That night, there was a starry sky above their heads and in the sea. They wrote many people's names on the beach, including their own, Qiao Xinyu's, He Yue's, Yao Baifei's and Wu Yousen's, and then they watched the tide slowly rush up and cover all the names.
The tide came up to their ankles, leaving behind many shells.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when we returned to Qingshui Bay.
Wu Yousen came to the beach to drive instead of Sunai and sent Shen Muxi back first.
The drunk Shen Muxi held on to the wall and walked to the door. She took out the key to open the door, only to find that it was not closed.
"Huh? There's a thief..." Shen Muxi ran into the living room and saw someone sleeping on the sofa.
"The thief is here." Shen Muxi moved closer to the sofa, got close to the "thief", sniffed with his nose, and finally laughed, "Hahaha, it's He Yue."
He Yue probably waited until Shen Muxi came back and fell asleep.
Shen Muxi looked at He Yue. Maybe it was because he had drunk some alcohol, the emotions in his heart were particularly strong.
She murmured, "He Yue, thank you."
The sleeping He Yue did not answer her. She moved closer to He Yue, and He Yue's breath blew on her nose again and again. Shen Muxi smiled foolishly and placed her lips on the lips of the sleeping He Yue.
He Yue’s lips were particularly soft, cool and sweet, and Shen Muxi didn’t want to leave.
He Yue, who was awakened by a light peck, slowly opened his eyes and watched Shen Muxi kissing him greedily. He reached out, put his arms around Shen Muxi's waist, turned over and pulled her onto the sofa.
"You're not asleep?" Shen Muxi, who was hiding in He Yue's arms, raised her head and asked.
"I was woken up by you." He Yue closed his eyes, put his forehead against Shen Muxi's forehead, and smiled slightly.
Shen Muxi was wrapped in deep happiness. She curled up in He Yue's arms and fell asleep with him.
The night sky has the stars as its companions, and Shen Muxi in the house has He Yue as his companion.
They are each other's world.
