Entertainment: A whirlwind marriage with a fairy-like mother at the start!

however.

After the laughter came a deeper silence.

When that torrential rain began to fall.

When Ko Ching-teng roared "I'm just childish" in the pouring rain, and Shen Chia-yi cried and called him "big idiot".

The laughter in the theater disappeared.

Instead, the sound of people pulling out tissues rose and fell.

The helplessness of missing out on love because of pride and misunderstanding grips everyone's heart.

"Stop arguing... Go back! Go after them!"

Someone muttered in a low voice, their voice trembling with tears.

But the boy on the screen never looked back.

That's what youth is like.

Once you miss it, it's for a lifetime.

Drag the timeline to the end.

wedding.

When Ko Ching-teng, dressed in a handsome suit, pushed open that door.

All the audience members held their breath, clinging to a last glimmer of hope.

Perhaps it was a wedding kidnapping?

Perhaps he is the groom?

But reality disappointed everyone.

Shen Jiayi was holding someone else's hand, smiling gently and happily.

The groom was mature and steady, but not the naive Ko Ching-teng.

"Depend on……"

Someone couldn't help but swear, their voice filled with heartbreak.

The next scene became the highlight of the entire movie.

All the boys in the class started clamoring to kiss the bride.

The groom said, "If you want to kiss the bride, you have to know how to kiss me first."

Just when everyone was hesitating.

Ko Ching-teng rushed forward.

He cupped the groom's face and kissed him passionately, oblivious to everyone else.

The camera then begins to flash back at this moment.

Scenes from those years flashed by on the silver screen like a revolving lantern.

The back that was poked by a ballpoint pen.

The corridor where we were kept after school and made to stand as punishment.

That school uniform covered in writing.

The Kongming lantern that was never released.

And there's that scene in a parallel universe where they're actually together.

Reality and memories intertwine.

As Ko Ching-teng kissed the groom, the person he was kissing in his mind was Shen Chia-yi, the woman he had loved throughout his youth.

"Back to square one—"

"Your youthful face in my memory—"

Xue Zhiqian's slightly hoarse and regretful singing voice precisely hit the mark at this moment.

It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

In the theater, someone finally broke down and cried.

Immediately afterwards, the crying seemed to spread rapidly, as if it were contagious.

It was a suppressed, low sob.

That was a tribute to lost youth.

It's also a belated confession to the one I missed back then.

"Snapped!"

The lights suddenly turned on.

The blinding white light illuminated the entire theater, but it couldn't dispel the thick, unyielding sourness in the air.

No one spoke, and no one got up.

The theater, which could hold several hundred people, was so quiet that the only sounds were sniffling and the soft rustling of plastic bags being torn open to get tissues.

A bespectacled man sitting in the front row was clutching a wad of soaked tissues in his hand, his glasses fogged up.

He took off his glasses, wiped his eyes haphazardly on his sleeve, and his eyes were as red as a rabbit's.

The girlfriend next to him, who had originally had exquisite makeup, now had her eyeliner smudged from crying, turning her into a panda. But she didn't care about touching up her makeup; she just clung tightly to her boyfriend's arm, her nails almost digging into his flesh.

"Waaaah... Ko Ching-teng, that big idiot..."

The girl cried and cursed, her voice exceptionally clear in the quiet theater.

"Why didn't he kiss me sooner! Why did he have to wait until the wedding to kiss me!"

That shout was like flipping a switch.

The audience, who had been suppressing their emotions, instantly broke down.

"Exactly! Even just a little bit earlier would have been better!"

"Where's the director? Director, come out here! I want to bring you some local specialties!"

"Is this what youth is all about? This hurts so much!"

In the back corner.

Yu Le lowered the brim of his hat, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

It became.

This reaction is more genuine and powerful than any applause.

What do youth films sell?

It's not about looks, plot, or even acting skills.

What they're selling is this feeling of "unresolved regret".

Only when the audience sees their own foolish past self in the movie, and sees the girl they loved but couldn't have, can the movie truly stand the test of time.

The host walked onto the stage with tears in her eyes.

He was holding a microphone, and his voice was a little shaky.

"Thank you... thank you everyone for coming to the premiere of 'You Are the Apple of My Eye'."

The host sniffed and forced a professional smile.

"To be honest, I watched it three times backstage, and I still couldn't hold back. I think everyone feels the same way I do right now—touched, but also wanting to beat up the director."

A burst of nasal laughter erupted from the audience.

"Next, let's welcome the film's creative team and the singer of the theme song, Xue Zhiqian!"

There was thunderous applause.

Xue Zhiqian took a deep breath, straightened the slightly wrinkled hem of his suit, and walked up with slightly stiff steps.

This was the first time he had faced so many people in front of an audience.

Having hundreds of eyes watching you is more unsettling than being blocked at the door by creditors.

But the moment he grasped the microphone, his innate singer's instincts instantly took over his body.

"The heavy rains we missed all those years—"

The sound was amplified throughout the venue by top-of-the-line audio equipment.

Slightly hoarse, deeply affectionate, and full of texture.

The audience, who had been whispering, fell silent instantly.

"The heavy rains we missed all those years—"

"The love we missed over the years—"

"I want to hug you, to hug the courage I missed—"

"I once dreamed of conquering the world, but looking back, I realized—"

"Every little thing in this world is you—"

Sitting in the first row, Liu Qianqian looked at her junior brother on stage, who was usually unserious but was now so affectionate that he seemed like a completely different person, and her eyes welled up with tears again.

This song is so well written.

She sang well too.

Every word felt like a blow to the heart.

Finished a song.

Xue Zhiqian slowly put down the microphone.

The entire room fell silent for a second.

Then, applause erupted like a tidal wave, and some people even stood up and whistled.

"Well sung!"

"Dude, you're awesome! That voice is amazing!"

Xue Zhiqian was startled by this sudden enthusiasm, and his previously maintained aloof and affectionate demeanor instantly crumbled.

He shrank his neck, revealed his signature goofy smile, and bowed repeatedly.

"Thank you! Thank you everyone! I'm Xue Zhiqian! Um... please don't just praise me, remember to buy my single! I don't want to go back to manual labor!"

The audience burst into laughter again.

This guy's cool demeanor only lasted three seconds.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Hao led Hu Ge and Liu Qianqian onto the stage.

Ning Hao stopped shaking at this moment.

Looking at the tear-streaked faces of the audience below the stage, he felt incredibly satisfied.

What does this tell us?

That proves Ning Hao is awesome!

That means his movies are really touching! They can make people cry!

"director!"

The bespectacled man in the front row suddenly stood up, still clutching the wad of wet tissue in his hand, and became agitated.

"I only have one question! Why didn't they end up together? Even being together in a parallel universe would have been fine! Why torture us like this?"

This question reflects the sentiments of everyone present.

Everyone stared at Ning Hao, waiting for him to give an explanation.

Ning Hao took the microphone, scratched his signature bird's nest hair, and chuckled.

"Because that's life."

He shrugged, looking utterly shameless.

"If everyone were together, that's a fairy tale, not youth. Youth always needs some regrets, otherwise what will you drink with later?"

"Whoa—"

The audience booed, but everyone had to admit that what he said made sense.

It is precisely because of the regret that it is so unforgettable.

It is precisely because we missed each other that that girl will forever remain a cinnabar mole on my heart.

The microphone was handed to Liu Qianqian.

The little girl was wearing a white dress today, with her long hair flowing down her shoulders; she was radiantly beautiful.

Her eyes were still a little swollen, clearly she had cried quite a bit earlier.

"Sissi!"

"Fairy Sister!"

"Shen Jiayi!"

The screams from the fans nearly blew the roof off.

Liu Qianqian smiled shyly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Actually... I was under a lot of pressure when I was filming this movie."

Her voice was soft and sweet, yet it carried a hint of seriousness.

"Because Shen Jiayi is so wonderful, she is the dream of every boy's youth. I'm afraid I won't play the role well, and I'm afraid I'll ruin everyone's dream."

"No!"

"You are Shen Jiayi!"

"No one in this world but you could play Shen Jiayi!"

The male fans in the audience roared, as if they wanted to tear their hearts out to prove it.

Liu Qianqian looked at the eager faces below the stage, her gaze searching through the crowd, finally landing on Yu Le, who was wearing a hat.

Just like when he first performed as a freshman at the Beijing Film Academy, he always sat there quietly, supporting himself in his own way.

Thank you everyone.

Liu Qianqian bowed deeply to the audience.

"I hope everyone can cherish the people around them and not be that big fool."
