Elizabeth looked in the direction pointed out by Tom in confusion. But the next second, she raised her hand and covered her mouth in surprise.
Elizabeth saw the light there suddenly light up. James sat in front of a piano and looking back at her with a smile.
The yellowish light shone on him, giving off a faint halo. For the first time Elizabeth saw James sitting in front of the piano. He was so handsome and elegant.
Elizabeth clenched her fist and then slowly walked toward James.
From the wooden door to James, there was a small path made of irregular stones of various colors. Almost as soon as Elizabeth stepped on the path, the small street lights on both sides of the path were lit up. It was only at this time that she saw clearly that there were about one-person-tall flowers on both sides of the road, all of which were rose. Even the soles of her feet were covered with rose petals.
At the same time, James began to play a very cheerful song. Almost at the moment when he played, a projection curtain appeared on the wall behind him. Lines of captions slowly emerge on the curtain.
"If I had a single flower for every single time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden. To the world you may be one person, but to me you may be the world."
Elizabeth walked very slowly. With every step forward, the small street lights on both sides gradually lit up.
Looking at the words on the curtain, Elizabeth couldn't help but burst into tears. It was not a long path. But she felt she had experienced her whole lifetime of happiness on this path...
When Elizabeth finally stood in front of James, he stopped playing the piano. He smiled gently at her, then took her hand and whispered, "I promised you that I would play the piano with you. Although I played alone just now, I did fulfill my promise, didn't I?"
Hearing his words, Elizabeth, who had been deeply moved, bit her lips and nodded, holding back the throbbing in her heart.
"Do you like all these things today?"
Elizabeth pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.
James had given her a lot of surprises, and they were all different every time. How could she not like those surprises that he had spent so much effort on?
Seeing her nod, James raised his lips and smiled, "It's my birthday today. Mrs. Lu, do you want to play a tune for me?"
Elizabeth nodded without thinking, "Of course!"
James did not stand up, but just sat a little inside. The two of them sat together on the not- so- long piano bench. There was an indescribable sense of harmony among them.
Elizabeth played the Happy Birthday song. She played it a little faster than the usual tempo. This song that the whole world could sing was originally quite ordinary. But Elizabeth played it with a light and lively feeling.
James turned his head and looked at Elizabeth's serious and beautiful side face with a gentle smile in his eyes.
It was supposed to be played by Elizabeth alone. But later, James joined in, and it turned into a four-handed string of bullets.
Elizabeth was stunned at first, then turned back and smiled at James.
When Elizabeth looked at James, he also looked back at her with his eyes becoming softer. Although Elizabeth just played a simple song for his birthday, as long as she was with him, it would be his best and most satisfying birthday.
As soon as the song was finished, there would naturally be a candlelight dinner waiting for them.
After dinner, James proposed to walk along the beach first. Elizabeth naturally had no objection. She was really hungry just now, so she ate a lot, and it was good for her to have a walk.
James held her hand and walked slowly. Over their head, there were stars all over the sky. Under their feet, there were soft sea sand. They were beside their beloved. This was a really beautiful and sweet moment. It was precious memory for them.
"Mrs. Lu, we have been married for a long time." James sighed while walking. "Yes." Elizabeth answered with a smile. In the beginning, they were strangers. And now, they are so close. Elizabeth couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of fate.
