canary her crush come true
Chapter 49
"Empty-nest old man, lonely, depressed" could be heard endlessly, Shu Yan fled also went upstairs and returned to the study, her eyes hurt from the sun's glare.
From the night Yi Xiaoan left until now, she has only been lying on the sofa for a few hours, and memories flooded into her mind uncontrollably, exaggeratedly like those written in a novel, passing through her mind frame by frame.
At this moment, Shu Yan realizes belatedly, when you don't understand, the whole world knows the friendship between you, and when you understand, the whole world is against you.
Shu Yan pulled the chair upside down and sat down where the light could not reach, the thick and gathered curtains just blocked the light for her back, the slender shadow was drawn in front of her, she was silent for a long time, Shu Yan took out her mobile phone and opened the ticket inquiry inside software.
Although it takes longer to travel from City A to Chicago, the United States, it is not an unreachable distance.
By accident, she went to the ticket purchase interface, selected a flight, and filled in the identity information of the ticket buyer... Shu Yan stopped her fingers when she jumped to confirm the flight information again.
She knew the address of Yi Xiaoan's apartment, and Yi Xiaoan had filled it out when filling in the information before. Of course, she also knew Yi Xiaoan's school and department. Even if she wanted to know the schedule and class information, it would not be difficult.
But if she rushed over like this, would she meet herself?
Perhaps, can you give her a reason to go by herself?
Shu Yan fell back into the chair again, what would she say?Going to see her because you're worried about her safety?As the older sister who has been promised to take care of her?
Because I broke the contract before, I want to apologize, and I will bring a valuable gift to make up an apology, so that I will not owe you anything from now on?
Shu Yan suddenly felt that she didn't know when she became a very hypocritical person.Same as her model family, same as Shu Minglang.
On the surface, he doesn't care about any relevant gossip news, but in fact, every piece of news has been strictly controlled, because it is fake enough, enough not to be believed by the upper circles, so the rumors are allowed to spread, but there is a sense of accomplishment with ease.
No matter what she does, she likes to work hard in private. On the surface, she always has a calm feeling. It seems that as long as she cares about less things, there will be fewer handles to hold her.
Even for Yi Xiaoan, he would give himself a high-sounding reason of "because he is a sister, so he can care about her unscrupulously".Yi Xiaoan said that he likes it, is he wrong, he is naive, what about himself?Compared with the purity of the little girl, what is it like this?
In the past, when we were separated and missed her, we could ask her in a dignified manner if she had studied hard and if she wanted any gifts, but now that we have only been separated for two days, the feeling of withdrawal is attacking in my mind.
Shu Yan stood up, touched the notebook that Yi Xiaoan had left for her with her fingers again, and after standing there for about 2 minutes, she still reached out and put it back in its original place.
The moment her fingers touched the book, Shu Yan accidentally dropped the cup to the ground as if she was being scalded for some reason.
There is no drawing on the blank page of the last page of the book, but a line of writing, an irregular line that has been soaked in water, and the wet marks have dried again, the white paper has become transparent and wrinkled, and there is a sentence next to it, The delicate and graceful handwriting is just like her cold and withdrawn voice:
"Please don't bother me again, sister."
It took Yi Xiaoan less than two months to adapt to the new life in a foreign country. When the children from rich families who came together were still complaining about the food and no car to pick them up when they went out, Yi Xiaoan had already obtained a driver's license in the United States. .
The United States has a huge population of international students, and there is also a large mobile market for second-hand cars. They are all cars that are exchanged between students, and the price is extremely high.
Yi Xiaoan bought a second-hand Audi A6. The smooth body lines and serious colors make it difficult for people to connect with the young artistic temperament girl who gets off the car every time.
Because she has the air of a veteran cadre, plus she has excellent grades and a cold personality, and likes to wear plain colors, Yi Xiaoan was dubbed "Mr. Ann, the Oriental beauty" by her classmates not long after.
Yi Xiao'an didn't refute either, and let them retain this well-intentioned joking title.
In the class, she gets along well with a girl named Iris from France. Both of them are fluent in English. Iris is very interested in traditional Chinese culture, and Yi Xiaoan just wants to learn another language. Not a lot.
When the school started two months ago, there happened to be a party in the college. When everyone thought that Yi Xiaoan would not attend, she signed up for traditional Chinese folk dance, and a peacock dance made the title of "Oriental Beauty" spread like wildfire.
Just after the performance, Yi Xiaoan came down from the stage and walked back to the class area. Iris sincerely praised Yi Xiaoan in the Chinese she just learned:
"Good guy, didn't you see that the little girl still has two faces?"
Yi Xiaoan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked her who taught her. Iris pointed to a boy from City C in China in the back row: "He."
It is a boy in the same class who is usually very humorous, Liu Hui.Seeing Yi Xiaoan turning around, Liu Hui shrugged his shoulders as if nothing was wrong, and gave her a thumbs up, mouthing: "Goodjob"
After the party, the class went to eat supper together. Their art class was about the same as high school, with only 20 students. Yi Xiaoan originally wanted to go back early, but unfortunately everyone was too enthusiastic, and Yi Xiaoan is the Peacock Princess today, of course not let her go.
Minors under the age of 21 in the United States are not allowed to drink alcohol, so everyone just went to a fast food restaurant, shared two tables and played board games for a while.Yi Xiaoan's participation was not high at the beginning, until he lost the cup game and was punished with three quick questions and answers:
"Why didn't you like talking to us before?" an American girl quickly asked in English.
"Environmental reasons. I used to talk less when I was in middle school, but it's much better after meeting you." Yi Xiao'an answered fluently in English.
"What do you think are your three shortcomings." A boy answered the conversation immediately, and everyone burst into laughter as soon as this kind of question that stimulated the atmosphere came out. Yi Xiaoan also raised the corners of his mouth, and answered in an orderly manner:
"Obsessive-compulsive disorder, don't like to communicate." She originally wanted to add "not brave enough", but after thinking about it, she denied this answer from the bottom of her heart.From finally professing love to Shu Yan, to coming to the United States to live alone, getting a driver's license test, and getting along with others generously, everything she has done, at least in her own opinion, has been brave.
"It's not humorous enough." Yi Xiaoan hurriedly added before the countdown ended.
"Have you ever had a lover in China?" an American boy asked in unfamiliar Chinese. What he wanted to express probably meant "lover". She pretended to hit him with a smile, and asked him to quickly return what he borrowed.
After everyone laughed and looked at Yi Xiaoan, Yi Xiaoan lowered his head slightly, and after a while, he raised his head again and raised the corners of his mouth:
"No."
Everyone played for a while and the game was over. They were preparing to drive back to school or home. Iris asked Yi Xiaoan if he could give her a ride. Yi Xiaoan said yes, but they had to go back to school to pick up the car first.
As soon as the two walked out of the restaurant, Liu Hui came over and asked in English if he wanted to take them home on the way. Yi Xiao'an vaguely knew that they were not on the way, so just as he was about to refuse, Iris said yes with a look of someone passing by, and greeted Yi Xiao Get in the car.
Yi Xiao'an no longer refused, and the two got into the back seat of the Porsche together.
Iris deliberately loudly said that she was sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep first, and asked Liu Hui to see her off first.Yi Xiaoan paused for a moment, and raised his head to meet Liu Hui's subconscious gaze.
Liu Hui seemed to have been shocked, his ears turned red all of a sudden, and he turned his head back to drive seriously without saying a word.
It was nearly 11pm when we brought Yi Xiaoan back to his residence, Liu Hui followed her out of the car and watched her walk to the door of his apartment.
"Thank you." Yi Xiaoan thanked with a polite smile.
Liu Hui waved his hands, coughed, and asked Yi Xiao'an openly: "Ann, do you have someone you like now?"
Liu Hui is not as sanctimonious as the former scumbag Yang Ming. He expresses himself very generously. Although he can be seen as a rich second generation with strong strength, he doesn't give people an annoying feeling of a young master.
Yi Xiaoan shook his head: "No."
Liu Hui's eyes lit up: "Really? If it's true, I might find a way to chase you?" He said half-jokingly, but his feet didn't move, and he always kept a distance that made girls feel safe. .
"Really." Yi Xiaoan nodded again: "But unfortunately, I like girls." Yi Xiaoan seemed a little regretful.
"Oh, No." Liu Hui smiled regretfully and shrugged his shoulders, as if expressing regret, but in the end he just said, "Are you sure? I just heard you said that you have never been in a relationship, maybe..."
"I'm sure."
"It's a pity that I haven't had a relationship with her—"
"But I'm sure I liked that lady very much." Yi Xiao'an still looked at Liu Hui, with unquestionable determination in her eyes, and the way she politely refused.
The two looked at each other, and Liu Hui stopped insisting: "Okay, Ann, I promise I won't mention similar things to you in the future, can we still be normal classmates?" Liu Hui has been living in the United States since high school. There are local habits in life, speaking and behavior.
"Of course." Yi Xiaoan nodded.
Liu Hui smiled, and raised the car keys in his hand to wish her a good dream. Before leaving, Liu Hui said to Yi Xiaoan: "Ann, what you just said was regret, right?"
"There is a local saying here, until the last moment, never say sorry."
After Liu Hui finished speaking, he drove away. The wind just blew off a leaf on Yi Xiaoan's shoulder. Yi Xiaoan saw that leaf shaking gently with the wind on his shoulder, as if the sentence just now was hidden in the leaf. The words, afraid that she might not hear clearly, fell on his shoulders and said it again.
Yi Xiaoan just stood there for a while, walked to the lawn in front of the apartment, squatted down gently, stretched out his hand, and quietly placed the leaf on a handful of soil.
At 8:30 Beijing time in City D, in the banquet hall on the top floor of the Yueyuan five-star hotel, half of the national treasure banquet on the table was eaten. The man who had been silent all this time suddenly got up, wiped his hands, adjusted the hem of his suit, as if by magic He took out a ring from his pocket, knelt down on one knee, and said to the lady next to him:
"Lan Lan, marry me."
Zhou Lan was stunned for a moment, and the chopsticks in her hand slipped to the ground in a moment of real reaction, and then she covered her mouth and looked around in shock.
Someone had already prepared their cameras and mobile phones in advance, and gathered around to capture this beautiful moment.
Zhou Lan looked at the birthday cake on the table. Today is her birthday. Her boyfriend Yu Ran said that her 25th birthday should be a good one. She specially invited her best friend from high school to the party. Even Shu Yan came from City A Fly in for this dinner party.
Like her with hindsight, she now knows what the so-called surprise is.
The violin and piano band on the side played "Dream Wedding" at the right time, and the old friends at the table were all applauding and shouting "Marry him".
Yu Ran and Zhou Lan are also classmates in high school. They are in the same school and in different classes. The love story back then was also a vigorous one that went to the school rostrum. Later, they encountered problems such as different places in the university and opposition from their families. Today, they have run for the 11th long-distance race year.
Yu Ran's family environment is not good, and after entering the society, she feels inferior to her own status and status. Every year when their classes are lively during Chinese New Year, there will always be sisters who can't stand it, and openly cue Zhou Lan, telling her not to hang herself on a tree , What kind of man is a man who hasn’t married you for so many years.
Zhou Lan has a gentle personality and always laughs it off. In fact, she looks forward to this day more than anyone else.
And when this moment finally appeared, after all the astonishment and surprise, it turned into two people embracing each other and crying.
The two hugged each other and cried, and the college classmates who witnessed their relationship also wiped their tears. A boy picked up the wine glass, crying as if he was going to marry himself, and raised the glass high:
"Come, come, drink this glass of wine, and wish our old classmates grow old together and never be separated."
Everyone raised their glasses, and Zhou Lan smiled embarrassedly while wiping her tears. She feigned anger and said to everyone: "You, you all know?"
Some people present who haven't seen each other for several years are all looking at her with tears and smiles at the moment. Zhou Lan asked Shu Yan, a busy person who is the hardest to see at ordinary times: "Ayan, do you know that too?"
Everyone at the scene also looked at Shu Yan, who nodded: "I know" she shook the glass after she finished speaking, and the golden champagne liquid flowed in the glass: "I am very happy to witness this moment together. I have already given the gift It’s stored at the front desk, don’t forget to take it later.”
"It's not Mr. Shu, why did you secretly prepare gifts in advance behind our backs?" A high school boy with a good relationship raised his eyebrows.
Shu Yan knew that she was joking and teasing, so she raised her eyebrows and replied: "Didn't you say that I am a busy person, and I don't necessarily have time to attend other people's weddings?"
"Believe what you say to harm Huang Hao, don't take it to your heart." Qin Kai answered.
"What is this kid, he's 25 years old, he's half a vice president, and he's still barking." Huang Hao shoved him.
Qin Kai raised his neck: "What's the matter with you, don't you agree? See you tomorrow night on the playground after school, whoever doesn't come so brother."
"Afraid of you? I'll deal with you when I finish reciting "Li Sao"."
Everyone saw that it was time for the couple to start acting in high school again, and they started laughing and teasing each other. Many girls also started to look at Zhou Lan's ring, etc., and the scene suddenly became more lively than before.
After a while, the banquet ended. Zhou Lan and Yu Ran asked everyone not to leave. They would arrange a car to send you off. Shu Yan walked to the smoking area on the first floor with Wu Tianzhou, a short-haired girl who had been sitting next to her just now. Taking out a pack of cigarettes, she raised her eyebrows and asked Shu Yan, "Do you mind?"
Shu Yan glanced at her and sneered: "What do you think?"
Wu Tianzhou didn't speak any more, he took out a thin cigarette, held it between his fingertips, and lit it.
Wu Tianzhou and Shu Yan were the closest people in high school. She was depressed because of an accident at home in high school. From learning to smoke to being able to smoke, she and Shu Yan completed it in the back playground.
Later, both parties have been abroad for many years, and the number of times they met can be counted on one hand.
"How are you doing recently?" Wu Tianzhou felt that something was wrong with Shuyan's mood since he came in.
"Well, it's pretty good." Shu Yan replied leaning on the sofa.
"What about you?"
"It's also very good. We will open a branch next month."
Shu Yan glanced at her, and couldn't help laughing. She evasively replied: "Who asked about your career? I heard that you broke up?"
Wu Tianzhou is similar to Zhou Lan. He also has a partner who has been dating since freshman year. The other party is a very cute girl. Wu Tianzhou studied abroad for her, found a job, and was even willing to give up his family's business. After so many years, they finally ended up breaking up.
The long-distance race of love is rare, but not everyone is equal to the sweet opportunity to finally achieve a positive result.
People like Zhou Lan and Yu Ran are rare.Once either party can't hold on, it will eventually become a memory of youth in the mouth.
"What about you, I heard that you have never looked for it, do you really like girls?"
Many guests from upstairs have already come down. As far as Shu Yan can see, a group of men in suits with beer bellies are shaking hands hypocritically. She raised her chin:
"Is it possible that I still like them?"
Wu Tianzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No, little girl, I haven't seen anyone you like? You usually meet a lot of beauties, right? The endorsement in the entertainment industry depends on your investment. You can't catch so many people?"
After Wu Tianzhou said the word "little girl", a familiar figure came into his mind as if there was a linkage function. It was Yi Xiao'an dancing the peacock dance in a white dance dress.
"Well, I can't get in." Shu Yan replied dryly
Wu Tianzhou gave a more wry smile, and took another puff of the cigarette in his hand: "In all these years, besides that green tea bitch Tang Qianbing, have you ever liked anyone else?"
"No."
"I never liked Tang Qianbing." Shu Yan looked at Wu Tianzhou and corrected her word by word.
"Does that mean you liked someone else? Another unspeakable failed crush?"
The smoke in Wu Tianzhou's hand was burning with the tail of the smoke, and after turning around in a circle, it floated in front of Shu Yan. The faint white mist blocked the sight of both parties, and Wu Tianzhou couldn't see the expression on Shu Yan's face clearly for a moment.
"Let's go." Shu Yan said after a while.
Wu Tianzhou knew that she didn't want to talk, so he pinched the end of his cigarette and stood up: "Will they deliver it?"
"I want to go out for a while." Shu Yan stood up and adjusted the windbreaker on her body. It's very cold in October in City D, especially at night when there is always wind.
As soon as the two of them went out, they were blown head-on by a gust of cold wind. Wu Tianzhou crossed his arms around his chest. Before ten o'clock, there were still neon signs flashing on both sides of the street, and there was music playing from a KTV not far away.
The two walked forward like this, Wu Tianzhou suddenly thought of something, and just asked, "By the way, how is that little girl in your family..." He heard a crisp "sister" from the two of them.
Wu Tianzhou didn't know who she was calling, she only saw that Shu Yan seemed to have heard something terrible, as if she had been hit by something, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
The two turned around, and a little girl who looked like a middle school student ran up behind her. She ran over panting, and asked a little shyly, "Sister, are you sister Wu and sister Shu?"
"We are, what's the matter?" Wu Tianzhou answered her.
The little girl said: "I'm Zhou Lan's younger sister. My elder sister asked me to call you, and told my sisters to wait, and arrange a car to take you back immediately."
The long-haired elder sister kept staring at her, and the little girl didn't know why, but she was a little scared while talking.
Wu Tianzhou smiled: "Go back and tell your sister that the hotel we live in is not far away, so she doesn't need to drop it off."
"really?"
"Well, really, it's cold at night, go back quickly."
"Okay, goodbye, sister." The little girl waved to the two of them, then turned and ran away in a hurry.
Wu Tianzhou sighed that it was really polite, and looked up at Shu Yan, but the other party seemed to be in a trance, unable to recover for a long time.
"Shu Yan, Shu Yan?" Wu Tianzhou called her.
I don't know if she read it wrong, but I always feel that the end of Shu Yan's eyes is red.
"What's wrong with your eyes?"
Shu Yan dodged subconsciously: "The wind is too strong, it hurts."
I don’t know which era the KTV in front is from. At this moment, there is actually a piano piece “Thoughts Across Time and Space”. The mournful tune and the neon signs make the whole street seem unreal.
"Tianzhou, can I have a cigarette?"
Wu Tianzhou felt that she had rarely seen such an expression on Shu Yan's face in his impression, so he took out the cigarette case in a panic and handed her a cigarette.Shu Yan put the lady's cigarette into her mouth, and Wu Tianzhou touched the fire again.
She touched it all over her body, muttering as she touched it: "Hey, wasn't it still there just now..."
Wu Tianzhou frowned after checking to see if it was there, "Maybe it was left in the hotel just now, why don't I go back and look for it?"
"Yeah." Shu Yan replied calmly.
"Okay, then I'll go back and look for it. I haven't changed my problem of throwing things since high school. I'm really envious. It seems that I haven't lost anything since I was a child..."
While Wu Tianzhou was talking, he went back to find the fire. A gust of cold wind blew in his face, and the sad music kept ringing in his ears. Shu Yan had played the piano for so many years in elementary school, and she knew this piece of music.
She took the unlit cigarette back into her hand, and the bitter autumn wind forced her to wrap her windbreaker tightly.Just now at the banquet, Zhou Lan's expression when she was waiting for Yu Ran's words "marry me" came into her mind, as if she was grabbed by some force from her heart, Shu Yan almost couldn't hold back and squatted down by the side of the road ——
Isn't she, seems to have lost the most important person?
The author has something to say: woo woo woo (how can I woo woo for everyone

From the night Yi Xiaoan left until now, she has only been lying on the sofa for a few hours, and memories flooded into her mind uncontrollably, exaggeratedly like those written in a novel, passing through her mind frame by frame.
At this moment, Shu Yan realizes belatedly, when you don't understand, the whole world knows the friendship between you, and when you understand, the whole world is against you.
Shu Yan pulled the chair upside down and sat down where the light could not reach, the thick and gathered curtains just blocked the light for her back, the slender shadow was drawn in front of her, she was silent for a long time, Shu Yan took out her mobile phone and opened the ticket inquiry inside software.
Although it takes longer to travel from City A to Chicago, the United States, it is not an unreachable distance.
By accident, she went to the ticket purchase interface, selected a flight, and filled in the identity information of the ticket buyer... Shu Yan stopped her fingers when she jumped to confirm the flight information again.
She knew the address of Yi Xiaoan's apartment, and Yi Xiaoan had filled it out when filling in the information before. Of course, she also knew Yi Xiaoan's school and department. Even if she wanted to know the schedule and class information, it would not be difficult.
But if she rushed over like this, would she meet herself?
Perhaps, can you give her a reason to go by herself?
Shu Yan fell back into the chair again, what would she say?Going to see her because you're worried about her safety?As the older sister who has been promised to take care of her?
Because I broke the contract before, I want to apologize, and I will bring a valuable gift to make up an apology, so that I will not owe you anything from now on?
Shu Yan suddenly felt that she didn't know when she became a very hypocritical person.Same as her model family, same as Shu Minglang.

Shu Yan stood up, touched the notebook that Yi Xiaoan had left for her with her fingers again, and after standing there for about 2 minutes, she still reached out and put it back in its original place.
The moment her fingers touched the book, Shu Yan accidentally dropped the cup to the ground as if she was being scalded for some reason.
There is no drawing on the blank page of the last page of the book, but a line of writing, an irregular line that has been soaked in water, and the wet marks have dried again, the white paper has become transparent and wrinkled, and there is a sentence next to it, The delicate and graceful handwriting is just like her cold and withdrawn voice:
"Please don't bother me again, sister."
It took Yi Xiaoan less than two months to adapt to the new life in a foreign country. When the children from rich families who came together were still complaining about the food and no car to pick them up when they went out, Yi Xiaoan had already obtained a driver's license in the United States. .
The United States has a huge population of international students, and there is also a large mobile market for second-hand cars. They are all cars that are exchanged between students, and the price is extremely high.
Yi Xiaoan bought a second-hand Audi A6. The smooth body lines and serious colors make it difficult for people to connect with the young artistic temperament girl who gets off the car every time.
Because she has the air of a veteran cadre, plus she has excellent grades and a cold personality, and likes to wear plain colors, Yi Xiaoan was dubbed "Mr. Ann, the Oriental beauty" by her classmates not long after.

"Of course." Yi Xiaoan nodded.
Liu Hui smiled, and raised the car keys in his hand to wish her a good dream. Before leaving, Liu Hui said to Yi Xiaoan: "Ann, what you just said was regret, right?"
"There is a local saying here, until the last moment, never say sorry."
After Liu Hui finished speaking, he drove away. The wind just blew off a leaf on Yi Xiaoan's shoulder. Yi Xiaoan saw that leaf shaking gently with the wind on his shoulder, as if the sentence just now was hidden in the leaf. The words, afraid that she might not hear clearly, fell on his shoulders and said it again.
Yi Xiaoan just stood there for a while, walked to the lawn in front of the apartment, squatted down gently, stretched out his hand, and quietly placed the leaf on a handful of soil.
At 8:30 Beijing time in City D, in the banquet hall on the top floor of the Yueyuan five-star hotel, half of the national treasure banquet on the table was eaten. The man who had been silent all this time suddenly got up, wiped his hands, adjusted the hem of his suit, as if by magic He took out a ring from his pocket, knelt down on one knee, and said to the lady next to him:
"Lan Lan, marry me."
Zhou Lan was stunned for a moment, and the chopsticks in her hand slipped to the ground in a moment of real reaction, and then she covered her mouth and looked around in shock.
Someone had already prepared their cameras and mobile phones in advance, and gathered around to capture this beautiful moment.
Zhou Lan looked at the birthday cake on the table. Today is her birthday. Her boyfriend Yu Ran said that her 25th birthday should be a good one. She specially invited her best friend from high school to the party. Even Shu Yan came from City A Fly in for this dinner party.
Like her with hindsight, she now knows what the so-called surprise is.
The violin and piano band on the side played "Dream Wedding" at the right time, and the old friends at the table were all applauding and shouting "Marry him".
Yu Ran and Zhou Lan are also classmates in high school. They are in the same school and in different classes. The love story back then was also a vigorous one that went to the school rostrum. Later, they encountered problems such as different places in the university and opposition from their families. Today, they have run for the 11th long-distance race year.
Yu Ran's family environment is not good, and after entering the society, she feels inferior to her own status and status. Every year when their classes are lively during Chinese New Year, there will always be sisters who can't stand it, and openly cue Zhou Lan, telling her not to hang herself on a tree , What kind of man is a man who hasn’t married you for so many years.
Zhou Lan has a gentle personality and always laughs it off. In fact, she looks forward to this day more than anyone else.
And when this moment finally appeared, after all the astonishment and surprise, it turned into two people embracing each other and crying.
The two hugged each other and cried, and the college classmates who witnessed their relationship also wiped their tears. A boy picked up the wine glass, crying as if he was going to marry himself, and raised the glass high:
"Come, come, drink this glass of wine, and wish our old classmates grow old together and never be separated."
Everyone raised their glasses, and Zhou Lan smiled embarrassedly while wiping her tears. She feigned anger and said to everyone: "You, you all know?"
Some people present who haven't seen each other for several years are all looking at her with tears and smiles at the moment. Zhou Lan asked Shu Yan, a busy person who is the hardest to see at ordinary times: "Ayan, do you know that too?"
Everyone at the scene also looked at Shu Yan, who nodded: "I know" she shook the glass after she finished speaking, and the golden champagne liquid flowed in the glass: "I am very happy to witness this moment together. I have already given the gift It’s stored at the front desk, don’t forget to take it later.”
"It's not Mr. Shu, why did you secretly prepare gifts in advance behind our backs?" A high school boy with a good relationship raised his eyebrows.
Shu Yan knew that she was joking and teasing, so she raised her eyebrows and replied: "Didn't you say that I am a busy person, and I don't necessarily have time to attend other people's weddings?"
"Believe what you say to harm Huang Hao, don't take it to your heart." Qin Kai answered.
"What is this kid, he's 25 years old, he's half a vice president, and he's still barking." Huang Hao shoved him.
Qin Kai raised his neck: "What's the matter with you, don't you agree? See you tomorrow night on the playground after school, whoever doesn't come so brother."
"Afraid of you? I'll deal with you when I finish reciting "Li Sao"."
Everyone saw that it was time for the couple to start acting in high school again, and they started laughing and teasing each other. Many girls also started to look at Zhou Lan's ring, etc., and the scene suddenly became more lively than before.
After a while, the banquet ended. Zhou Lan and Yu Ran asked everyone not to leave. They would arrange a car to send you off. Shu Yan walked to the smoking area on the first floor with Wu Tianzhou, a short-haired girl who had been sitting next to her just now. Taking out a pack of cigarettes, she raised her eyebrows and asked Shu Yan, "Do you mind?"
Shu Yan glanced at her and sneered: "What do you think?"
Wu Tianzhou didn't speak any more, he took out a thin cigarette, held it between his fingertips, and lit it.
Wu Tianzhou and Shu Yan were the closest people in high school. She was depressed because of an accident at home in high school. From learning to smoke to being able to smoke, she and Shu Yan completed it in the back playground.
Later, both parties have been abroad for many years, and the number of times they met can be counted on one hand.
"How are you doing recently?" Wu Tianzhou felt that something was wrong with Shuyan's mood since he came in.
"Well, it's pretty good." Shu Yan replied leaning on the sofa.
"What about you?"
"It's also very good. We will open a branch next month."
Shu Yan glanced at her, and couldn't help laughing. She evasively replied: "Who asked about your career? I heard that you broke up?"
Wu Tianzhou is similar to Zhou Lan. He also has a partner who has been dating since freshman year. The other party is a very cute girl. Wu Tianzhou studied abroad for her, found a job, and was even willing to give up his family's business. After so many years, they finally ended up breaking up.
The long-distance race of love is rare, but not everyone is equal to the sweet opportunity to finally achieve a positive result.
People like Zhou Lan and Yu Ran are rare.Once either party can't hold on, it will eventually become a memory of youth in the mouth.
"What about you, I heard that you have never looked for it, do you really like girls?"
Many guests from upstairs have already come down. As far as Shu Yan can see, a group of men in suits with beer bellies are shaking hands hypocritically. She raised her chin:
"Is it possible that I still like them?"
Wu Tianzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No, little girl, I haven't seen anyone you like? You usually meet a lot of beauties, right? The endorsement in the entertainment industry depends on your investment. You can't catch so many people?"
After Wu Tianzhou said the word "little girl", a familiar figure came into his mind as if there was a linkage function. It was Yi Xiao'an dancing the peacock dance in a white dance dress.
"Well, I can't get in." Shu Yan replied dryly
Wu Tianzhou gave a more wry smile, and took another puff of the cigarette in his hand: "In all these years, besides that green tea bitch Tang Qianbing, have you ever liked anyone else?"
"No."
"I never liked Tang Qianbing." Shu Yan looked at Wu Tianzhou and corrected her word by word.
"Does that mean you liked someone else? Another unspeakable failed crush?"
The smoke in Wu Tianzhou's hand was burning with the tail of the smoke, and after turning around in a circle, it floated in front of Shu Yan. The faint white mist blocked the sight of both parties, and Wu Tianzhou couldn't see the expression on Shu Yan's face clearly for a moment.
"Let's go." Shu Yan said after a while.
Wu Tianzhou knew that she didn't want to talk, so he pinched the end of his cigarette and stood up: "Will they deliver it?"
"I want to go out for a while." Shu Yan stood up and adjusted the windbreaker on her body. It's very cold in October in City D, especially at night when there is always wind.
As soon as the two of them went out, they were blown head-on by a gust of cold wind. Wu Tianzhou crossed his arms around his chest. Before ten o'clock, there were still neon signs flashing on both sides of the street, and there was music playing from a KTV not far away.
The two walked forward like this, Wu Tianzhou suddenly thought of something, and just asked, "By the way, how is that little girl in your family..." He heard a crisp "sister" from the two of them.
Wu Tianzhou didn't know who she was calling, she only saw that Shu Yan seemed to have heard something terrible, as if she had been hit by something, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
The two turned around, and a little girl who looked like a middle school student ran up behind her. She ran over panting, and asked a little shyly, "Sister, are you sister Wu and sister Shu?"
"We are, what's the matter?" Wu Tianzhou answered her.
The little girl said: "I'm Zhou Lan's younger sister. My elder sister asked me to call you, and told my sisters to wait, and arrange a car to take you back immediately."
The long-haired elder sister kept staring at her, and the little girl didn't know why, but she was a little scared while talking.
Wu Tianzhou smiled: "Go back and tell your sister that the hotel we live in is not far away, so she doesn't need to drop it off."
"really?"
"Well, really, it's cold at night, go back quickly."
"Okay, goodbye, sister." The little girl waved to the two of them, then turned and ran away in a hurry.
Wu Tianzhou sighed that it was really polite, and looked up at Shu Yan, but the other party seemed to be in a trance, unable to recover for a long time.
"Shu Yan, Shu Yan?" Wu Tianzhou called her.
I don't know if she read it wrong, but I always feel that the end of Shu Yan's eyes is red.
"What's wrong with your eyes?"
Shu Yan dodged subconsciously: "The wind is too strong, it hurts."
I don’t know which era the KTV in front is from. At this moment, there is actually a piano piece “Thoughts Across Time and Space”. The mournful tune and the neon signs make the whole street seem unreal.
"Tianzhou, can I have a cigarette?"
Wu Tianzhou felt that she had rarely seen such an expression on Shu Yan's face in his impression, so he took out the cigarette case in a panic and handed her a cigarette.Shu Yan put the lady's cigarette into her mouth, and Wu Tianzhou touched the fire again.
She touched it all over her body, muttering as she touched it: "Hey, wasn't it still there just now..."
Wu Tianzhou frowned after checking to see if it was there, "Maybe it was left in the hotel just now, why don't I go back and look for it?"
"Yeah." Shu Yan replied calmly.
"Okay, then I'll go back and look for it. I haven't changed my problem of throwing things since high school. I'm really envious. It seems that I haven't lost anything since I was a child..."
While Wu Tianzhou was talking, he went back to find the fire. A gust of cold wind blew in his face, and the sad music kept ringing in his ears. Shu Yan had played the piano for so many years in elementary school, and she knew this piece of music.
She took the unlit cigarette back into her hand, and the bitter autumn wind forced her to wrap her windbreaker tightly.Just now at the banquet, Zhou Lan's expression when she was waiting for Yu Ran's words "marry me" came into her mind, as if she was grabbed by some force from her heart, Shu Yan almost couldn't hold back and squatted down by the side of the road ——
Isn't she, seems to have lost the most important person?
