“Of course, I remember that.” Su Wenxiu smiled. Although a few years had passed, he still remembered that time.

Zi Die looked at him curiously and asked, “Then why’d you agree to share a meal with me when you returned from Yang County?”

She looked at him with anticipation as she awaited his answer. Su Wenxiu raised his brows and asked back, “Do you really want to know?”

Zi Die nodded vigorously. “Of course I do!”

She could not guess Su Wenxiu’s thoughts back then because he always looked so mysterious. Zi Die was nervous and anxious back then.

Su Wenxiu ruffled his wife’s hair and said softly, “I gave your confession much thought when I was in Yang County. I couldn’t stop thinking about you and the words you said. After a while, I realized that—”

“Well, what did you realize?” Zi Die was eager for her husband to get to the point. Since Su Wenxiu rarely expressed his feelings, she wanted to remember them forever.

Su Wenxiu chucked. “I realized that I missed you.”

Zi Die’s eyes lit up, and she became excited. “Really?! Did you really miss me?”

“Yeah, I thought of you very often while I was in Yang County.” Su Wenxiu nodded.

Zi Die smiled happily. “I thought I scared you by confessing my feelings and even felt guilty about it. You went to Yang County so quickly after I told you how I felt.”

She pouted, feeling a little aggrieved.

Su Wenxiu’s heart ached when he saw his wife’s pitiful expression. He coaxed her, “It was my fault for overthinking things. Don’t be sad, okay?”

He did not understand his feelings back then and did not know he had such profound feelings for Zi Die. The young lady noticed how worried he was about her and felt warm inside. “So, you already cared about me back then?”

“Of course I was.” Su Wenxiu nodded. “Although I didn’t understand it initially, I gradually learned. If you hadn’t been so brave and told me how you felt, we might not be in this moment.”

“I’m grateful that I dared to tell you my feelings back then,” Zi Die said smilingly.

“Thank you for being my wife,” Su Wenxiu said as he held his wife’s hand.

Zi Die smiled sweetly at him. “You said that we don’t have to thank each other.”

“You’re right.”

As the couple talked, the music began. There was even a band on the stage. The performances became more diverse, with more crew members in the theater.

When Su Binglan first established the Grand Theater, there would only be regular plays with stage actors. Later, they added performances like dancing and singing. Gradually, there were even comedy shows.

No matter what kind of play it was, everyone had a good time. The Grand Theater was so famous that there would be constant crowds of people buying tickets for the plays.

The music and stage effects of The Lion King’s play were excellent. When the play began, the audience, especially Zi Die, observed with great interest. She ate her popcorn and drank her milk tea as she watched.

“Mommy, what’s a lion?” a child on the first floor asked curiously.

“They’re wild animals from the grasslands,” the child’s mother explained, “They’re mighty animals, too.”
