After Cheng Huanhuan's announcement, soothing music sounded.

Everyone was surprised.

This performance wasn't on the program list; it seemed to be a last-minute addition.

Who would have thought the much-hyped retirement from the industry was actually true!

Li Dan and Zhang Yao had chosen to leave at the peak of their careers. It seemed they were truly born for love!

In an instant, countless people were moved.

"I admire them. To give up fame and fortune for love... so few people can do that nowadays."

"They've been quiet for so long. I never expected they were preparing a farewell performance?"

"Saying goodbye during the Mid-Autumn Festival is truly fitting."

"When was this song written? Is it new?"

At this moment, several lines of text appeared on the TV screen.

Soulmate Lover

Performed by: Zhang Yao, Li Dan

Lyrics by: Lin Chudong

Music by: Lin Chudong

"Holy crap, Da Fei wrote the song?"

"Oh my god, it really is Da Fei! Da Fei even wrote a song for them?"

"Maybe they're innocent? Did we overthink it?"

"Da Fei is appearing way too much. He's performed four acts in one Mid-Autumn Festival Gala."

"Four? Which four?"

"Serve the Country with Utmost Loyalty, Witness a Miracle, Shout Loudly for Me to Hear, Soulmate Lover"

"Hahaha, 'Shout Loudly for Me to Hear' is hilarious."

"..."

Liang Yin and the others became excited. "Li Dan is on stage! How did they get here?"

"They probably came on short notice. Da Fei probably didn't even know about this?"

Lin Chudong was still sitting in the audience, also a little surprised. The director had informed him that it was the last performance, but there was still such a surprise. It seemed to be an impromptu addition?

All the limelight had been taken by Lin Chudong. These two had put in a lot of effort.

Shen Jianbin was already packing his things to leave, but his steps paused when he heard the announcement.

"Who wrote this song? Look it up."

He could see the lyricist and composer on TV, but not at the venue.

Sun Jie quickly found the song. It had just been released today, and his expression immediately changed.

"It's Da Fei."

Shen Jianbin said coldly, "Let's listen!"

Li Dan walked towards the stage, wearing a long dress, exuding an unparalleled beauty.

After getting married, her hair was tied up, and she had two earrings on her ears, giving her a wifely aura.

"Let my love accompany you until forever. Do you feel my concern for you? In our gazes, I discover what fate is. Are you also waiting for a Soulmate Lover..."

Li Dan's clear voice rang out, instantly silencing the entire venue.

Afterward, the Bullet Comments also started to flood in.

"A married woman!! Li Dan is even more charming, don't you think?"

"My wife is married off like this, sob sob sob..."

"Why do you all call her your wife? Isn't it good that she's married? Doesn't marriage make her more appealing?"

"You perverts, why do you all like other people's wives? Go and like Li Dan, Lin Qiqi is mine alone."

"Hurry up and pee on the person upstairs to wake them up!"

"..."

Then, Zhang Yao, dressed in a suit, also walked out. His voice was gentle, carrying a hint of refined elegance.

"Keep your love in your heart until forever. The long road ahead holds an unchanging heart."

"When the wind rises, I'll let you feel what warmth is.

In a lifetime, it's hardest to find a soulmate lover..."

"This song is so good, it's practically tailor-made for them, right?"

"It's tailor-made! Didn't you see the lyrics and music are both by Da Fei? A music genius!"

"Music genius, well-deserved! I'm fully supporting Da Fei this time!"

"You can't just support him, you have to shout loudly for me to hear!"

"'Shout Loudly for Me to Hear,' one of Da Fei's representative works."

"These netizens are really something!"

"..."

The audience present was also immersed in the soothing music.

Afterward, Li Dan and Zhang Yao sang a duet with deep emotion.

Zhang Yao: Whether it's now

Li Dan: Or in the distant future

Together: We will protect today's love for each other

No matter if the storms come again

Li Dan: From now on, we won't be hurt again

Zhang Yao: My dreams will no longer wander

Together: We will preserve that love for each other

No matter if the storms come again!

Seeing the exchange of glances between the two as they sang the duet, the audience was mesmerized.

How can there be such a perfect couple? From a couple to husband and wife, and still so sweet!

Many male-female duets aren't performed by real couples, so they can't achieve this effect.

But these two are a real couple, singing such a passionate love song, their gazes at each other felt like they were about to melt.

So beautiful to listen to!

Da Fei is truly a genius!

Shen Jianbin was backstage, listening to the perfect duet, his face extremely grim.

As a musician, he knew this song was destined to be a hit.

There were already few excellent works for couple duets, and with the emergence of Soulmate Lover, it would undoubtedly become a must-play track in KTVs.

This kind of phenomenal work, and it belonged to someone else again.

Da Fei was truly detestable!

Shen Jianbin said coldly, "Let's go!"

After the Da Fei Band left, the song was also nearing its end.

After the final chorus, the two walked hand in hand to the center of the stage.

Li Dan held the microphone and said.

"I've said before that once we get married, I'll quit the entertainment industry and enjoy love."

"Now is the time. Thank you, Director Sun Xuan, for giving us this opportunity to say goodbye to everyone at our hometown's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala."

"This is our last performance. From now on, we will be ordinary people. Thank you for your love."

"And thank you even more to Da Fei for writing us this Soulmate Lover. Lastly, I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Goodbye!"

After speaking, Li Dan and Zhang Yao walked off stage hand in hand.

The audience in the venue stood up and applauded.

This time, it was a tribute.

A tribute to their courage, and a tribute to their love for each other.

"I'm crying, I believe in love again!"

"To give up the wealth of the entertainment industry to live an ordinary life, how much courage must that take!"

"Life is precious, but love is even more so. Li Dan and Zhang Yao are retiring, and my Youth is over."

"They are so happy, but I just broke up. I don't want to date anymore, woo woo woo..."

"The one upstairs, why are you crying? There are plenty of men. I'll be your boyfriend if nothing else!"

"Huh? Brother, I'm a guy too..."

"Pfft... DM me, guys are okay too."

"..."

Sun Xuan nodded in satisfaction, finally bringing the Gala to a perfect ending!

Before, Da Fei and Guan Lu had made him tremble with fear, almost facing unemployment. Fortunately, Li Dan and Zhang Yao helped in the end.

But he had to admit, Sun Xuan felt a bit of admiration for Da Fei at this moment. The title of Music genius was truly well-deserved; why hadn't he noticed it before?

Was he truly buried by the Da Fei Band?

"Go call Da Fei over!"

Lin Chudong approached Sun Xuan, a hint of apology on his face, and said.

"Director Sun, I'm sorry, I misspoke during the live broadcast just now."

Sun Xuan pointed at him, a look of regret on his face.

"Sigh... you!"
