District 9

In the evening, around 10:30, in the wedding reception room on the south side of Yuanshan Town, a large group of girls were gathering together to chat, play cards, and gossip. The atmosphere was very lively.

These girls are all Lin Nianlei's best friends. They came from all over the country to attend her wedding, and some of them will be bridesmaids tomorrow.

On the second floor, three makeup artists were packing their things.

"Will you change your clothes tomorrow morning?" Lin Nianlei asked in the mirror.

"Yes, just change it tomorrow morning." The lead makeup artist replied with a smile: "This way you can sleep for a while at night, but try to stay on your back to avoid rubbing the makeup on your face."

"Okay, sorry for the trouble, Jingjing." Lin Nianlei replied with a smile.

"You're welcome." The makeup artist yawned: "I won't chat with you anymore. I'm too sleepy. Let's go back and rest first."

"Okay, you guys go to bed early."

After the two of them chatted for a while, the makeup artist led his assistant downstairs.

It was rare that the room became quiet. Lin Nianlei had a phoenix hairpin on her head and a red makeup on her face. She walked gently to the window and couldn't help but look towards the door of the small courtyard.

I will get married tomorrow, will they really not come?

Outside, there was a sound of footsteps, and my best friend Qiao Xiaoxiao came up from downstairs in an evening dress: "Hey, buddy, what are you doing?"

Lin Nianlei came back to her senses, raised her little hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and turned around with a smile on her face: "I just finished putting on makeup, and I am almost exhausted."

Qiao Xiaoxiao turned around and glanced around, seeing that only Leilei was in the house and standing at the window. He instantly understood her inner emotions: "Baby, do you miss your family?"

"No." Lin Nianlei replied with a smile: "Why do you ask?"

"Stop pretending, we have been in a relationship for many years. What are you thinking? I still don't know." Qiao Xiaoxiao walked up to Leilei, took her arm and said, "I really don't understand, what is the relationship between you and your family?" How do we get along with each other? Those are your own biological parents, is it so difficult to accept them?"

Lin Nianlei lowered her head and said calmly: "My choice is not wrong, why should I give in?"

Qiao Xiaoxiao was silent.

"Before getting married, Xiao Yu went to my house and already chatted with them." Lin Nianlei smiled and raised her head: "Forget it, I won't come if you don't come. I will get married tomorrow."

Qiao Xiaoxiao leaned on the window sill and hugged her shoulders: "You are very lucky."

"What are you lucky for?" Hanhan asked.

"I'm lucky that in this life I can meet love that allows me to ignore it." Qiao Xiaoxiao said simply: "Many people may not have this opportunity in their lifetime."

"That must be true." Lin Nianlei nodded heavily and replied, "I am willing to marry him."

"Have a drink and wish you a happy marriage." Qiao Xiaoxiao picked up the red wine on the small table next to her.

The two of them stood at the window, with the moonlight shining into the room, and they drank together.

"Cheers to love!"

"cheers!"

The two best friends drank the wine in one gulp and placed the wine glasses on the window sill again. Lin Nianlei turned to look out the window again before leaving with Qiao Xiaoxiao.

…

Yanbei, District Eight.

Lin's mother, Zhang Lan, returned home smelling of alcohol.

"Come back?" The aunt at home came over and asked.

"Yes." Zhang Lan took off his shoes and asked softly: "Did someone bring the things over?"

"It was delivered three days ago." Auntie nodded in response.

"good."

Zhang Lan nodded and walked indoors, but he didn't expect to see Lin Yaozong in the living room.

"Hey, the busy man is back. It's so exciting!" Zhang Lan said with obvious dissatisfaction in her tone, and greeted her husband in a teasing tone.

Lin Yaozong looked at the tablet and raised his head expressionlessly: "Why are you saying such weird things?"

"No." Zhang Lan put the bag on the table and took off the jewelry while saying, "Your daughter is getting married tomorrow, do you know?"

Lin Yaozong frowned when he heard the sound and did not answer.

"I want to go, you know?" Zhang Lan said again.

Lin Yaozong looked up at her: "Are you drunk too much?"

"It's okay." Zhang Lan picked up his things, turned around and left: "I'm going to sleep upstairs."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not right, the aunt just poured a cup of tea for Lin Yaozong and walked back to her room.

In the empty living room, Lin Yaozong rarely lit a cigarette, sat on the sofa and smoked quietly.

"Dip Lingling!"

A phone rang.

"Hello?" Lin Yaozong answered the phone.

"Dad, I... or tomorrow, I...?" Lin Xiao hesitated for half a sentence.

"You have the same intention of going as we did." Lin Yaozong replied in a calm tone.

Lin Xiao was silent for a long time: "...Okay, I understand."

"Dudu!"

Lin Yaozong hung up the phone, sat on the sofa, loosened his collar and shouted, "Bring me some wine and some side dishes."

"Okay." Auntie came out immediately.

On the north side of District 9, in the Special Forces Brigade Headquarters, Lin Xiao sat in the office and hesitated for a long time before sending Hanhan a text message.

"Sister, I wish you a happy wedding."

After a while, Lin Nianlei only replied with one word: "Okay."

…

Late at night, after 11 o'clock.

The party before the wedding has ended, and most of the friends who came have gone to find places to have fun with their own people.

Qin Yu drank a lot while at the venue, and he had to pick up his bride early tomorrow morning, so he returned to Xu's house with Cha Meng and others first.

After entering the room, Qin Yu lowered his head and glanced at his watch and said, "No, I have to sleep for a while. I will get up at four o'clock tomorrow."

"Okay, you go to sleep, I'll go watch Brother Jun and the others play cards." Cha Meng nodded and replied.

"Don't forget to call me."

"good."

After the two chatted for a while, Cha Meng left, while Qin Yu sat on a chair and took off his clothes.

In the courtyard.

A beautiful figure walked out of the side door carrying a suitcase, followed by several men in suits and ties.

When Qin Yu heard the noise, he instinctively looked back out the window and saw several senior executives of Cocoa and Pharmaceutical Group.

On the path outside the window, Keke was walking in a windbreaker and whispered to everyone: "It's too tacky to follow along. It's better to announce it at the wedding banquet tomorrow to give our boss Qin a surprise."

"Okay, everything is ready." The senior executive of the Yu family nodded.

"Well, okay, then you go back, I'll leave first." Coco said with a smile.

Yu Jinxun smelled of alcohol and asked angrily: "Sister, you'd better stay. If you leave like this, we don't want to be here..."

"Don't look for trouble! I'm leaving because the contract will be signed soon. There's no other way. Why are you following Jiji Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai?" Keke frowned and reprimanded her brother: "attend the wedding well and follow more Xiaobai and the others should learn a lesson and improve their connections, and don’t just idle around all day long.”

"I understand." Yu Jinxun nodded.

"That's it, you go back." Coco waved her hand.

"Mr. Yu, please go slower on the road."

"It's okay, someone will take you there." Coco insisted, "Let's all go back. There are too many people in the front hall. It won't look good if they make some noise."

Everyone stopped when they heard the sound.

Outdoors, light snowflakes fell, and the beautiful figure, with a slightly lonely back, dragged her luggage toward the outside of the courtyard.

Inside the house, Qin Yu looked at her back through the window. His emotions were extremely complicated. He wanted to get up several times, but held back several times.
