Fruit Hard Candy Reappears
Vance Mout Hotel.
At the wedding banquet.
After several dances.
"Adam, please help us."
Lily and Marshall walked over with forced smiles, their voices trembling with frustration.
"What's wrong?"
Adam reluctantly let go of Heather's explosive figure.
"We're starving to death."
Lily exclaimed in frustration, "We asked the hotel to prepare so much delicious food, but we haven't eaten a single bite yet!"
"We haven't eaten anything all day."
Marshall chimed in, "Every time I'm about to get a taste, my friends and family come up to me alone, and then it's just one cocktail after another."
"If I hadn't stopped him, Marshall would have been talking to someone while reaching for the food a child had spat on a napkin and started eating it."
Lily succinctly captured the dire situation we are in.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements for you."
Seeing that Lily and Marshall were swaying a little, Adam knew they were really hungry, so he quickly prepared to take them to get something to eat.
Lily, being the bride, was even hungrier, and her bewitching eyes seemed somewhat dazed.
No way.
Just like those female celebrities who can go a whole day without eating, drinking, or going to the bathroom on the red carpet, Lily went to great lengths to wear a beautiful wedding dress.
"You're here!"
I had only taken two steps when someone called out to me.
"Grandmother."
Lily and Marshall smiled wryly.
"Darling, you are so beautiful."
Grandma looked admiringly at Lily in her wedding dress, then at Marshall: "And you, you look like a movie star from the 1940s."
"You look like a roast lamb sprinkled with pepper and served with mint jelly..."
Marshall said in a daze.
"OK!"
Upon hearing this, Adam quickly interrupted, "Let's go get something to eat."
Amidst Lily's grandmother's surprised yet self-satisfied gaze, Adam quickly pulled Marshall away.
Any later, and an ethical tragedy would have occurred.
Everyone sat down.
Adam reached out and waved to the waiter.
The waiter immediately jogged over, and after hearing Adam's instructions, nodded repeatedly and quickly left.
Soon, the exquisite and delicious food was served to Marshall and Lily.
"Eat quickly."
Adam laughed.
"Great, we can finally have a bite."
Marshall and Lily were so moved that they almost reached out and ate it right away.
Then.
Ding ding ding!
The sounds of knives and forks clattering against glasses filled the air, accompanied by cheers from the crowd. "Kiss! Kiss!"
Marshall and Lily were speechless, but under the spotlight, they couldn't just eat recklessly. They could only exchange a glance and prepare to finish quickly.
Just as the two were kissing, a waiter came over and reached out to clear away the plates in front of Marshall and Lily.
Adam reached out and stopped him.
"Who gave you permission to accept it?"
Adam looked at him scrutinizingly.
"There were only these two dishes left on the table. Everyone else had finished eating. I thought..."
The waiter apologized.
"The new guy?"
Adam glanced at him.
"Um."
The waiter nodded.
"Alright, you don't need to bother with this."
Adam waved his hand.
Another waiter who had been paying attention quickly came over and pulled the newcomer away.
"Thank God!"
As soon as the cheering subsided, Marshall and Lily immediately let go of each other and looked at the table in front of them. Seeing that the plates were still there, they exclaimed in unison with delight, "They're still here!"
"Eat quickly."
Adam laughed.
"Uh-huh."
Marshall and Lily picked up their knives and forks to eat.
"Lily, Marshall!"
Then, someone else came over to offer their blessings to the couple.
Marshall and Lily glanced at Adam, and they were almost in tears.
"The instruments are all over there. Let's go up and play a tune to attract their attention and let them have a good meal, how about that?"
Juno laughed and said, "The Fruit Hard Candy Band hasn't played together in a long time either."
"Fruit Hard Candy is just between you and me..."
Adam said something subconsciously, then noticed Juno's confident gaze and couldn't help but look at Karen and Heather.
"I'll be the keyboardist."
Karen said calmly.
"I can be the drummer."
Heather laughed.
"See that?"
Juno laughed and said, "Everyone's here."
"Alright then, but what should we sing?"
Adam gave Juno a strange look.
"Anything is fine."
Juno smiled and said, "Whatever you want, but it would be best if you sang your signature song, 'Don't Cry'."
"Don't Cry?"
Adam hesitated and said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
"It has to be out of place."
Juno cautioned, "What we need to do is attract other people's attention. If we sing an appropriate song, it will be easy for others to notice the main character of the wedding. And the song we are most familiar with is yours, 'Don't Cry'."
"Yes."
Heather laughed and said, "We've sung together many times."
"Oh well."
With Juno so well-prepared, what could Adam say but play along?
"Ted, we'll go up and draw their attention. You tell Marshall and Lily to eat something quickly."
Adam gave Ted some instructions and then led Juno and the others onto the stage.
"I want to join too."
Tatiana raised her hand and called out.
"You can go up and dance with us."
Juno pulled Tatiana along. "You can jump anywhere."
This little girl is incredibly beautiful; she's adorable no matter how she moves. She's all about being cute without any special moves.
As soon as Adam and his group stepped onto the small stage, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.
No way.
They're so good-looking, they're really eye-catching.
Adam didn't say anything formal. Seeing Juno holding a bass, Karen sitting at the keyboard, Heather sitting at the drum set, and Tatiana standing in front of Adam, he exchanged a glance with Juno, strummed his guitar, and began to sing.
A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.
Juno aside, she was originally a key member of the Fruit Hard Candy Band, and even though they hadn't played in a band together for several years, she still had great chemistry with Adam.
To Adam's surprise, the new keyboardist Karen and the new drummer Heather were surprisingly in sync.
Clearly, this wasn't the first time the three of them had worked together.
With Juno as their linchpin, the reunited Fruit Hard Candy Band is completely seamless and smooth.
Although Adam originally had a good voice and excellent singing skills, he mainly became famous by plagiarizing and adapting classic songs.
Now, eight years have passed. Having experienced a lot, witnessed life and death and all sorts of bizarre things, I have gained a lot of insights into life and emotions. When I sing the songs from back then, I have a different mindset.
Songs are the voice of the heart.
A performance sung with emotion is completely different from one that is forced and devoid of feeling.
The combination of their exceptional good looks and Adam's outstanding performance achieved unprecedented results, attracting everyone's attention.
Emmm.
This does not include Marshall and Lily, who are starving.
Just now, Marshall yelled from hunger, "Where are you, my roasted lamb chops sprinkled with pepper? You should be here on my wedding night!"
Despite her hunger, Lily comforted her, saying, "Don't be sad, you still have me."
Marshall simply shrugged and said dismissively, "Okay."
Lily's eyes were extremely dangerous at the time. If she hadn't been so hungry and weak, and if it hadn't been in public, Lily might have torn Marshall apart.
Now the two finally had a chance to eat properly. Adam and his friends' performance was ten times more moving, it wouldn't be as moving as the roasted lamb chops in front of them.
"Delicious, really delicious."
"It smells so good!"
While Adam and the others were playing, Marshall and Lily began to feast.
