"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you..."

In the middle of the month, it was Zhao Yazhi's birthday. At noon, her parents celebrated her birthday at home. In the evening, the entire crew threw her a birthday party. Wu Cheng booked a nightclub, similar to a bar, for Zhao Yazhi's birthday celebration.

This was the first time Wu Cheng had entered a bar since coming to Hong Kong. It looked quite similar to the bars of the future, but naturally, it did not have the same sophistication as the high-end bars of the future. This made Wu Cheng recall that in this Hong Kong, there was a very famous bar in the future—Lan Kwai Fong. However, it seemed that this place had not yet been heard of, meaning that this bar had not yet appeared. Unfortunately, Wu Cheng had never been to Hong Kong and did not know the original location of the bar. Otherwise, he could have preemptively bought the entire place, and if anyone wanted to open a bar there in the future, they would have to cooperate with him.

"Zhi-ge, blow out the candles!" Wu Cheng said, chuckling softly in her ear, "Celebrating your birthday twice in one day, blowing out the candles twice, and making two wishes, how does it feel?"

Zhao Yazhi gave him a sidelong glance and replied, "Even though I celebrate my birthday twice, my wishes are the same. I'm not greedy!"

"A-Zhi, this is the birthday gift we have for you. We hope you like it!"

After Zhao Yazhi blew out the candles, Hong Jinbao and a few others carried out a large cardboard box. When everyone saw the large box, they were all taken aback, including Zhao Yazhi and Wu Cheng, who looked at Hong Jinbao and the others with confusion, not knowing what they were up to.

"Open it and see if you like it!"

Out of curiosity, Zhao Yazhi opened the box, only to find another wooden box inside. When she opened the wooden box, she discovered a pile of hay and a plaster statue. Looking at the plaster statue, Wu Cheng rolled his eyes in exasperation, while Zhao Yazhi's cheeks flushed red, seemingly scolding Wu Cheng with a glance.

Wu Cheng felt like he was being blamed for something he didn't do. This idea was not his at all!

The plaster statue was a likeness of Wu Cheng, made according to his age and height. It was quite thoughtful of Hong Jinbao and the others to come up with this.

Zhao Yazhi couldn't say she didn't like it, but she also couldn't say she liked it.

In the end, it was the older Wu Yaohan and Feng Cuifan who noticed Zhao Yazhi's embarrassment and changed the subject, "A-Cheng, what gift did you give our birthday girl?"

Wu Cheng smiled, "I already gave my gift!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the silver necklace around Zhao Yazhi's neck. The pendant was hidden under her clothes, but it was actually a pair of cartoon figures kissing, designed by Wu Cheng himself. On the back of the two cartoon figures was a pattern made from the pinyin of their names.

If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't think the pattern was pinyin names.

In fact, Wu Cheng had commissioned Chow Tai Fook to make it, and it didn't cost much because he had designed a spiral-shaped wedding ring for them.

"That won't do, we didn't see it, so it doesn't count!"

Sheng Long and Qin Xianglin, among others, started to tease, as if they were stirring up trouble.

Zhao Yazhi also smiled at Wu Cheng, seemingly curious to see what he would give her next.

In fact, Wu Cheng had given her this gift the night before.

When he gave her the necklace and explained its meaning, she was so embarrassed that she wouldn't have worn it if Wu Cheng hadn't insisted.

Seeing everyone teasing, Wu Cheng could only smile bitterly. He really didn't know what else to give her. Should he give her a kiss? That would be a disaster!

What Wu Cheng didn't expect was that Sheng Long actually had that idea, secretly gesturing to Wu Cheng and mouthing, "Just give her a kiss!"

Wu Cheng shook his head, not wanting to give them a chance to tease him and Zhao Yazhi.

Looking around, he noticed a piano in the corner. After some thought, a smile crept onto his face, and he walked over to the piano, saying, "Then I'll play a song for Zhi-ge!"

To which Zhao Yazhi replied, "It has to be a song I haven't heard before!"

At home, Wu Cheng had bought a piano and often played it when he had free time. Many of the pieces he played were not complete tunes. He was familiarizing himself with the melodies from his memories.

Zhao Yazhi often heard Wu Cheng play at home, and many of the pieces were ones she had never heard before. She thought they were his original compositions.

She had become numb to Wu Cheng's incredible talent.

Hearing this, Wu Cheng's lips twitched, secretly blaming Zhao Yazhi for giving him a difficult task. But then he remembered that when he played randomly at home, Zhao Yazhi didn't know all of them.

So he nodded, sat down at the piano, and smiled, "Next, I'll play a song for my dearest Zhi-ge, wishing her eternal happiness. The song is called 'Dream Wedding.'"

As the clear piano notes sounded, everyone fell silent. The melodious tune, tinged with a hint of sadness, drew everyone into a trance.

When the song ended, many people were still lost in it. It wasn't until Wu Cheng stood up and bowed to everyone that there was a sparse round of applause, which then turned into thunderous applause. No one noticed that Zhao Yazhi had quietly wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye, looking at Wu Cheng with pride.

When Wu Cheng returned, Hong Jinbao couldn't help but exclaim, "A-Cheng, I think you have a better future as a performer than as a director! I can't believe how much you know at such a young age!"

"A-Cheng, is this song your own composition?" Wu Yaohan mused, "What do you think about adding this song to our movie? When everyone goes to the villain Chen Chao's house, we can play this song... Think about it, the song has a hint of sadness, but in that gathering, it's actually quite warm. After that, there's a conflict with the villain, which can create a contrast..."

Hong Jinbao thought for a moment and nodded, "I think it's a good idea! A-Cheng, do you want money for using your song?" Hong Jinbao joked.

Wu Cheng smiled, "Sure! One Hong Kong dollar will do!"

Everyone laughed at this.

Just then, a person walked into the bar and headed straight for Wu Cheng and Zhao Yazhi. Those who saw her were surprised.

She walked up to them and smiled, "What are you all talking about? If there's something fun, tell me so I can enjoy it too!"

"A-Jun-ge, what are you doing here?" Wu Cheng and Zhao Yazhi looked at her in surprise.

The others were equally surprised, never expecting to see the superstar Teresa Teng, who was popular across Asia, here.

Teresa Teng smiled, "I went back to Taiwan at the beginning of the month to celebrate a friend's birthday. Then I heard that Zhi-ge's birthday was today, so I rushed over. I hope Zhi-ge won't be angry that I'm late!"

"How could I be angry? I'm just happy that you could make it!"

"Here, this is your gift!" Teresa Teng handed Zhao Yazhi a box, which contained a diamond brooch she had brought back from Japan, very fashionable.

"Thank you, Jun-ge!"

"By the way, what were you all talking about?"

So, everyone told her about Wu Cheng playing a new song for Zhao Yazhi and the idea of using the song in the movie. Teresa Teng smiled, "I think we could have A-Cheng play the piano in the movie. After all, the song is his, isn't it?"

Everyone's eyes lit up at this, making Wu Cheng's lips twitch.

But for the sake of his movie, he could do a cameo.

Thinking of the cameo, Wu Cheng remembered how岑健勋 (Cen Jianxun) had a terrible time playing the piano in "A Moment of Romance." He thought he could write the script for this movie later.

As the music played, Wu Cheng and Zhao Yazhi danced the first dance. Then Zhao Yazhi was surrounded by other men. Seeing this, Wu Cheng thought that in the future, he should avoid letting his woman attend such birthday parties, or she would be taken advantage of by other men all day!

While Wu Cheng was lost in thought, Teresa Teng walked over and said, "Little rascal, after dancing with Zhi-ge, you're not going to ask me to dance?"

What could Wu Cheng do but laugh and stand up to invite her to dance?

As they glided into the dance floor, she teased, "Little rascal, have you missed your big sister?"

"Of course!"

"How have you missed me?"

"Day and night!"

"You're just trying to make me happy!" Teresa Teng laughed, "With Zhi-ge by your side, how do you have time to think of me? Don't tell me you're thinking of me even when you're playing with Zhi-ge!"

"I've split my heart in two, one half for Jun-ge, and the other for Zhi-ge!"

"Looks like you're a heartbreaker, little rascal! Hehe..."

"It depends on the person!" Wu Cheng smiled, "If the person is as beautiful as Jun-ge and Zhi-ge, I can't help but be attracted, can I?"

"Are you blaming me, then?"

"How could I? I'm just blaming myself for being unable to resist your charm!"

"Tsk! Your words are getting more and more outrageous!"

"Hehe..." Wu Cheng laughed and changed the subject, "Jun-ge, how about you make a cameo in my movie? We can do a four-hand duet. See, I start with a solo, a bit sad, which wouldn't fit the party atmosphere. When you come in, we can do a four-hand duet, speed up the tempo, and turn the sad song into a cheerful one..."

"I don't know if I have the time!" Teresa Teng was a bit hesitant, then added with a hint of curiosity, "You said 'your movie'?"

"Yes! Produced by East Dragon International, and I'm the largest shareholder!"

"You started a film company?" Teresa Teng was surprised.

"Yes!" Wu Cheng smiled proudly, "Otherwise, how could I promise to start a record company within three years and sign you, a big star?"

"Alright! I'll do the cameo!"
