In this week's competition for the ratings of weekend dramas by major TV stations, "Splendid Legacy" continues to lead the ratings of several other weekend dramas by a large margin, and has been the top weekend drama ratings champion in South Korea for five consecutive weeks. ”

The ratings of "Splendid Legacy" are gratifying, and they are popular all the way, and the atmosphere of the crew is more harmonious.

After the filming on June 14 ended, because there were other arrangements the next night, Li Zheng specially asked Director Chen He for leave in advance, because the recent filming went smoothly, and Li Zheng's role on the second day was not too much.

Time passed, and soon it was the next night.

…………

Red wine, roses, candlelight, dinner.

An electronic piano not far from the dining table.

Walking into the living room, Stella looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but look back at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng nodded and smiled at Stella: "I don't have much time to prepare, it's a little rudimentary, I hope you don't mind." ”

Hearing Li Zheng's affirmative reply, Stella looked at Li Zheng a little stunned, and after a long time, she asked softly, "Why are you so kind to me all of a sudden?"

Li Zheng smiled: "Today is your birthday." ”

Stella frowned: "This reason is not sufficient. ”

Li Zheng smiled: "Do you want me to treat you badly?"

"It's not. It's just that suddenly I'm not used to it. Since that incident in the United States......"

Speaking of this, Stella seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked, "Is it because of that night?" After speaking, without waiting for Li Zheng to answer, she shook her head first, "It's not right." You're not the kind of person who will wronged yourself when you sleep with a woman. It's not for this reason, that's ......" she looked directly at Li Zheng with her eyes, "If you are worried that I will threaten you with past events and affect your development in the entertainment industry, you can rest assured, I have never thought about it that way, and I will not do that." ”

Li Zheng laughed loudly: "Do you think I will be the one who is afraid that you will expose me?"

Stella nodded: "Li Zheng, I understand you. Although you are not afraid of me exposing you, if you can avoid it, as long as it does not touch your bottom line, you will also compromise. ”

Li Zheng couldn't help but shake his head: "Okay, you can compromise with me." ”

"When you say that, I have some faith that you really want to be nice to me. ”

Stella looked at Li Zheng suspiciously, and then guessed: "Judging by your character, there are only two reasons why you will suddenly be good to me: one is that you want to stabilize me, so you want to compromise with me, and the other is that you feel that you owe me, so you work hard to do all this, and you want me to be happy." ”

Li Zheng looked at Stella, shook his head, and said helplessly: "As long as you feel happy, why do you have to know the reason? Not every question needs an answer." ”

Stella said, "I remember you saying that. ”

"It doesn't matter if I said it or not, the important thing is that you're happy. ”

Li Zheng looked into Stella's eyes: "Sometimes we tend to put too much emphasis on the result, and in the end we ignore the happiness that can only be experienced in the process. Just like a trip, the beginning and end point only give us a hint of where to start and where to end, but we don't go on a trip to pay attention to these, but to enjoy every scenery and scenery we experience along the way. ”

"You're right. ”

Stella was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Maybe I used to pay too much attention to form, and it ended up affecting our relationship. Whatever happens, at least tonight, at this moment, I'm happy, and I don't want to spoil the atmosphere of this evening. Chris, thank you for everything you've done for me. ”

Pulling out the chair and waiting for Stella to sit down, Li Zheng pressed the napkin for Stella, served the steak, poured red wine in the goblet, and then walked to the opposite side of the table and sat down slowly.

"Remember my first birthday for you?"

Li Zheng handed Stella the cut steak on his plate, took her share again, and asked with a smile as he cut it.

"I remember. ”

Stella laughs, "I remember that day in an Italian restaurant, you played one of my favorite piano pieces for me. ”

Li Zheng nodded and smiled: "Richard Clayderman, autumn whispers, your favorite song." ”

Stella also nodded and smiled, "Yes." That's the first time I saw you, you played on stage. Because of this song, I paid attention to you, and remembered that I had seen your photo from Li Yunxi's predecessors. ”

Li Zheng asked, "Do you still want to listen to this piece today?" said and looked at the electronic piano not far from the dining table, and laughed softly, "Although I don't know if you want to listen to it, I still made preparations in advance." ”

"Nope. I'd like to hear that song "River Flows In You" that you released some time ago. ”

It took a long time for "River Flows In You" to be played for the first time at a fan meeting, and it wasn't until after Li Zheng's birthday that the music source was officially available for download on the Internet, and so far, the piano song has been downloaded more than one million times.

Stella looked at Li Zheng and suddenly said, "Actually, what I want to know most is who you composed this piano piece for." ”

Li Zheng shook his head and said, "The answer may not be what you want to hear." ”

Stella said calmly, "I know that person can't be me. ”

Li Zheng was silent for a moment and looked up at Stella: "That piano piece was composed by me for Yun Xi. ”

"I knew it was her. ”

Sella's face was calm, and she didn't seem surprised at all: "It's just that since it was written for her, why did she play it at the fan meeting, shouldn't it be played only for her alone?"

Li Zheng was slightly silent and smiled softly: "Some things, if you have the same heart, you don't need to say it." What needs to be said proves that the other party does not understand you as well as you know her. ”

Looking at the faint smile on Li Zheng's face, Stella was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Since this is the case, I want to change my mind." I want you to play 'Autumn Whispers' for me. ”

She looked at Li Zheng and said in a low voice:

"At least, 'Autumn Whispers' is mine alone. ”
