She then played “Salut d’Amour”, which shrouded the venue with a romantic vibe. The newlyweds immersed themselves in the love that filled the air. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WWAPniKiB 維尼

Seeing their children stepping into another stage of life, the parents finally put down all their worries. They wish just for the whole world to feel the joy that they had. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0ceeOXfZQ 維尼

Friends, relatives, and everyone there were all moved by such a loving scene. Those who were more emotional were even moved to tears. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfTnSyx0by 維尼

Manman and Tony then came to the stage to express their gratitude to their parents for their nurturing and permission. They also sincerely appreciated Uncle Lei, especially Manman’s emotional speech of appreciation. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5gO0b1ooR 維尼

Uncle Lei’s stern face was shattered after hearing those kind words. His tough front had also melted away in this loving atmosphere.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQYQmaKCZj 維尼

Sobbing, Manman continued with her speech. “Dad, Mom, my closest friends… Thank you all for… This is our most glorious moment…” 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfnd25NDbG 維尼

All of a sudden, there were sounds of slow singing coming from the screens, and everyone instinctively looked toward them. The singers were not famous, nor was the video professionally done. What they saw were five women singing a folk song “Count on me” in a karaoke room.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD5CzjGcmZ 維尼

“If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea, I’ll sail the world to find you, If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can’t see, I’ll be the light to guide you, Find out what we’re made of, When we are called to help our friends in need, You can count on me like one two three I’ll be there, And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two, You’ll be there, Cause that’s what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah, You’ll always have my shoulder when you cry, I’ll never let go, Never say goodbye, You know you can.”8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡykydsKVbYJ 維尼

Their singing wasn’t very good, but they sang sincerely. The video displayed their true feelings despite not being edited professionally. That was because they were just a group of ordinary and loving old classmates: Wun Cin Heung, Yu Sum Ting, Lam Wing Tung, Lei Siu Man and Gou Wai Jing.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9wq6HF0Mu 維尼

Next, the video showed a kitchen. It was a kitchen in a coffee shop. It was a slow-mo video while the song “Count on me” continued. In the video, Cin Heung and Wing Tung were working hard at mixing a bowl of batter. Their lips moved as if they were saying something, while their faces were covered with white flour. Cin Heung then poured the mix into a mold. The camera focused on the pouring dough, displaying how silky and smooth it was.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡszvFsYFRHL 維尼

Wing Tung clumsily put the creation which they made carefully and happily into the oven. Between working on the cake, the two would playfully put whipped cream on each other’s noses; they would even throw flour into the air. It had an artistic feel to it as the flour slowly fell to the ground. Wing Tung hastily spread the whipped cream on the cake while Cin Heung instructed her nervously. Wing Tung committed some mistakes but Cin Heung was right there to help her. The two worked together to arrange the colorful red strawberries into a heart-shape and then write Manman and Tony’s names in chocolate. In a joyous atmosphere along with a tad bit of chaos, the wedding cake was finally done. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡv31PCsHhwO 維尼

At the end of the video, a group photo was displayed: the night when the five girls went for karaoke with a totally drunk Wing Tung. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQUr3uRiz3 維尼

Their sincere friendship, laughter, and realistic filming all penetrated their hearts and brought the five girls to tears. Each of them then went to the stage, embracing and comforting each other.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L9deivMKq 維尼

“Glory to my best friends,” Manman said. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8dABwBGuJ 維尼

That day, Cin Heung and Wing Tung had been preparing a wedding cake for the wedding in Yi Po’s kitchen. Cin Heung had Yi Po record the process, after which she edited the clips. The past, the present—the sincere memories were all carefully compiled together, in hopes that this package of memories would bring her friends back together. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyar52cQt3 維尼

Along with the video, Cin Heung sent a message to Sum Ting and Gou Jing. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPMiKoOtgy 維尼

The message read:8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMjrIXPdEI 維尼

Dear friend,8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75PTgG8KXn 維尼

Once upon a time, I lost a gift. I had no soul as I only lived in a materialistic world. I fought in a cruel battlefield every day and forgot the most important thing in life, love.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jslP0ePkH 維尼

It has become bygones, for you have appeared. The heavens have not given up this lonely soul of mine. In the vast ocean, you appeared like a lifeboat: saving me, a drowning person, giving me a platform, and allowing me to understand that there were still all kinds of love in life.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1BCRK1TNw 維尼

Having such a connection between us, it is not only because of you and I, but also fate. Fate brought us together, so we must cherish what we have. I will not give up this love easily. This love which belongs to the five of us, a love based on friendship.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtVPGnFujL 維尼

No matter how terrifying the situation, we should face it together. No matter what happens, we can overcome it. Cherish our friendship; come to the wedding.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxQMdRbwO3 維尼

Your best friend,8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5PCAOF7Mq 維尼

Manman grabbed the hands of Sum Ting and Wing Tung, choking and sobbing to the point she was unable to speak. This made them even more emotional. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39nEQPCqRC 維尼

“It’s all fine now.” Cin Heung looked at them tenderly and asked, “We’ve gone through the turbulent waters, right?” 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOWo2xrauc 維尼

“It’s all over, right?” Gou Jing said while giving Sum Ting a little nudge.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡIACIgSuvBO 維尼

With tears rolling down her face, Sum Ting replied, “Is it necessary to remember this?... It’s a pain in the…”8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zcuoZI1GF 維尼

The ladies quickly covered her mouth. They were now laughing like how they used to be. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7v5S82bei 維尼

The wedding ceremony ended in a solemn and joyful atmosphere, and all the guests came forward to bless the newly wed.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7enwcFeMhz 維尼

Out of nowhere, Yi Po appeared at the wedding ceremony with a cake in his hand. The guests were all looking forward to the cake after watching the video just now.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMavxL8GMA 維尼

Tony asked curiously, “Cin Heung, you already know Yi Po?” 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi1iwZtfL4 維尼

Yi Po said proudly, “Tony, this cake was created in my shop! What do you think?” 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1YRctZTmS 維尼

Cin Heung nodded her head in response.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGwAPyF5Kv 維尼

“I guess I don’t have to introduce this old classmate of mine to you,” Tony whispered into Cin Heung’s ear. “This was the guy I wanted to introduce you to!” He said while smiling at Cin Heung. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J1ydCVQlN 維尼

Giving him a quick look, Cin Heung ordered, “Quickly come and cut the cake with Manman!” 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd8JadnQI4 維尼

The guests clapped and cheered as they cut into the cake. People who tasted the cake were giving all sorts of praises. Yi Po even asked laughingly, “Cin Heung, can you be my coffee shop’s baker?” 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY8S2jmx9V 維尼

Cin Heung only smiled and did not answer him. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3jSaX6oaa 維尼

As the wedding drew to a close, Stirling’s violin stopped playing. She went to a corner and began to pack up her things. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMTW1UAoAt 維尼

However…8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IXbDLIEg2 維尼

“Aren’t you staying a little longer?” Cin Heung appeared in front of her. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lN2LTZxGq 維尼

“Oh! Cin Heung! No, I have another performance in the evening. I need to make preparations and also prepare myself emotionally.” 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fsY7WNMmb 維尼

“You’ve been working hard, Stirling! You are the life and soul of today’s wedding.” 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk4B8351AD 維尼

Stirling smiled and looked at her with envious eyes. “You look beautiful today,” Sitrling said as she stroked her cheek.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡVucne5G7sq 維尼

“I need to tell you something. I’m going to stay and learn how to make cakes. So, I would have more time to visit you now!” Cin Heung said happily. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YZlvoSP2X 維尼

“Great! I’m looking forward to seeing you next time!” Stirling said as she continued to clean up. For some reason, she seemed rather troubled 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UqBcgJej9 維尼

Cin Heung noticed that something was bothering Stirling. After a while, she held Stirling’s hand and stopped her from packing up. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3DUrTpuKU 維尼

“Is everything alright? Your worried expression is telling me that something happened… Maybe I can do something about it?” 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaOoPEDCm1 維尼

With a sad smile, Sitrling looked at her gratefully. “I’m afraid, Cin Heung, you can’t help this time.” 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoh2B3i5RR 維尼

Cin Heung took her hands and said, “You can still share your worries with me.” 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSLrOt6LN8 維尼

Stirling looked at her for a moment and said, “You’re a special girl!” She held Cin Heung’s arms and said, “It’s my mother.” 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8E3pd2YfL 維尼

“What happened to your mother?” 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDZj56fo0l 維尼

“She fell ill a few days earlier.” 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡFquhDLf2h5 維尼

“You should go see her then.”8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MGV09ymDa 維尼

With a bitter smile. “She lives in the UK so I can’t visit her immediately. My dad’s taking care of her right now. I just hope that she will get better in a few days. "8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxagjicIyl 維尼

“Oh, your hometown is in the UK.” 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqofGs92m4 維尼

Stirling nodded.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSf9DuUCIB 維尼

“Don’t worry too much. It’s just a minor illness. She’ll get better soon.” Saying that, she gave Cin Heung a hug. That baby lotion smell went into Cin Heung’s nose again.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa4PylJ2Uk 維尼

Feeling a warmth in her heart, Stirling could not help landing a kiss on Cin Heung’s hair.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbsafMwlY9 維尼

Cin Heung looked up and said with a smile, “Go back and prepare for the performance in the evening. Don’t worry too much.” 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7fxNamh22 維尼

Feeling a little better, Stirling said, “The cake you made was delicious!”8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yeM3YDG7d 維尼

“I’ll make one for you some other time!”8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoGFQ4m0A7 維尼

“Are you saying I’m getting married soon?” she quipped.8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b5ywvFqWQ 維尼

Both of them laughed and Cin Heung took Stirling by the hand to send her off. 8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF0uYFReVE 維尼

Just behind a tree, not far away, was a young girl. Her gloomy and cunning eyes contrasted to her innocent and pure face. As though she had discovered some amazing secret, she walked away slowly, hands behind her back and yelled out with a faint smile on her face, “Anne! Leave me a piece of cake! I really want to try Cin Heung’s ‘delicious cake’!”8964 copyright protection290ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqpgVJhxHA 維尼

“Come quickly Emma! It’s almost gone!”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTuK9yiQlX
