The Rationalist's Marriage

Two days later, Qiu Yuening received Lu Yang's reply when he was staying overnight in another place.

[Let’s put it away, I’ll take it when I’m free].

He sent two sentences with concern: [Have you looked for a house yet?Really want to move? 】

After a few minutes, the word "Let's talk" came from over there, and there was nothing else.

Qiu Yuening couldn't keep asking, so he quit WeChat and called Ding Ye.

Ding Ye had just finished taking a shower and was lying on the bed talking to him.

"Yue Ning, do you have any ideas for taking pictures?" The wedding is imminent. In addition to the preparations directly related to the ceremony, it is also necessary to arrange artistic photo shooting, which will be made into an electronic photo album for playback.

His company has business relationships with many wedding photography agencies, and it is easy to find a store that suits their taste, but they still need to choose the specific style.

"I'm actually..." Qiu Yuening doesn't like fake sets very much. If possible, he would prefer to wear private clothes and take more outdoor scenes, but he mentioned it when taking pictures with Qi Ran before, but Qi Ran used "it doesn't look like a wedding photo" as an excuse He rejected it, so he said to Ding Ye, "My thoughts may be too ordinary."

"Wearing private clothes?" Ding Ye has been in contact with many couples and knows about different types of wedding photos, "Street photography?"

"Ah."

Ding Ye smiled and said: "The studio I found is very good at shooting exterior scenes, and I will pass on some of their previous shots to you later."

"Is it possible?" Qiu Yuening was surprised that he didn't have the slightest objection, "You don't think it's too ordinary?"

"For wedding photos, the most important thing is to look comfortable, and you don't have to think about anything else."

Qiu Yuening said "hmm" to the phone: "Then do you like it?"

"Of course." But the location takes more time, Ding Ye explained to him, "Find a time for your vacation next month."

"Well," Qiu Yuening sat on the bed and folded his knees, resting his head on them, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"In the future—" Ding Ye drew out his tone, "Are you planning to be so polite?"

"Where are you being polite?" Qiu Yuening muttered, and when he realized something, he laughed too.

"No trouble," Ding Ye said again, "I want to take pictures with you earlier."

Qiu Yuening imagined his expression through the mobile phone, and said softly, "I think so too."

"Yuening, good night."

"Good night."

The time displayed on the phone was just past nine o'clock, and Qiu Yuening couldn't feel sleepy. He got out of bed and opened the curtains in front of the French windows.Looking down from the fifteenth floor of the hotel where he was staying, the city lights were dotted and dancing, and against the backdrop of the night, it seemed to be floating in the deep ocean current.

This is not the city I live in, and every time I come here, I just stop for a while, and Tianming is on the road again.There are many places like this, coming in a hurry, leaving in a hurry, always "on the road", he enjoys the chicness of flying on the clouds, and is occasionally confused by the fast-paced rush, as if life lacks a fulcrum.

Now Qiu Yuening gradually understands that the fulcrum he longs for is actually the destination of personal meaning.

He sat by the window, drank a cup of hot water, closed the heavy curtains again, and went back to bed.

Ding Ye sent the exterior photos taken by that studio, followed by a message [Let's see it tomorrow, rest early].

Qiu Yuening smiled, and clicked from the first one. Some places on it looked very strange. Although they were all in Wencheng, he didn't even remember that he had been there.

He turned off the light in the room, only the phone screen glowed in the dark room.

Qiu Yuening had a holiday on Friday, which was also the day when he made an appointment to have a reunion with Ding Ye.

They didn't meet during the day, but in the afternoon Ding Ye sent him a WeChat message to tell him where the meeting was.It was an old-fashioned restaurant that specializes in seafood. Qiu Yuening had been there before, and he could easily find the location even without navigation.

Ding Ye booked a private room, and as soon as Qiu Yuening arrived, he was led to the "Asparagus Bamboo" by the welcome staff.

He came out early today, and the box was still empty.Qiu Yuening looked at his phone, and Ding Yeer had sent a WeChat message [I came out of the company] 10 minutes ago.Ordinarily should have arrived, there may be a traffic jam on the road.

It was boring to stay by himself, Qiu Yuening wanted to go to the door to meet him, so he came out of the box again and walked out along the same road.

There was a small bathroom near the corner of the stairs. The door of the bathroom was open. Qiu Yuening was about to turn the corner when he saw two figures in front of the sink. One of them was Ding Ye, and the other might be his classmate. They seemed to be talking. .

"You finally gave up on that alpha?"

As soon as Bai Haopeng's words came out, Ding Ye turned his face away in astonishment: "Who?"

"The one you like? There is a partner."

Ding Ye glanced at him, frowned and asked, "How do you know?"

Bai Haopeng used to be his roommate, but no matter how close he was, he didn't like to share his private affairs with others.

"Have you forgotten?" Bai Haopeng laughed twice, "Drinking with you that time, you were too drunk, I said I would introduce you to a boyfriend, and you said you have someone you like."

When he said this, Ding Ye had a little impression that at the end of last year or the beginning of last year, Bai Haopeng quarreled with his wife and dragged him out for a drink.Maybe I really drank a lot that time, and I didn't even have the slightest impression after talking about such an important thing.

Ding Ye didn't know whether he should make it clear to him; Hao Peng continued on his own, "But it's true, it's useless if you have a wife to hang on someone! Look away early, there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world."

Bai Haopeng talked eloquently, and suddenly touched the coldness in Ding Ye's gaze, clasped his hands together and said, "Don't worry, I will never tell you now."

Forget it, seeing how stupid he is, Ding Ye has no desire to explain. Anyway, when everything is settled and his wish is fulfilled, Bai Haopeng will not tell Qiu Yuening that it is up to him how to get excited.

"Let's go," Ding Ye dried his hands, "What are you doing here?"

"Let's go," Bai Haopeng said briskly, "You two will decide what to order later!"

Qiu Yuening left after hearing Bai Haopeng's words "There is no fragrant grass in the end of the world", and returned to the box one step ahead of them, thinking about what he accidentally heard just now, unconsciously fascinated.

It turned out that Ding Ye once had an alpha whom he liked very much, and according to his classmates, he was already married.

It was shocking at first, but when you think about it carefully, it is not without trace.During the first date, Ding Ye said that he used to date Omega, and he only realized that he likes Alpha two years ago.The opportunity may be this person.

It's not a big deal, Qiu Yuening thought, he still liked Qi Ran before.What's more, a rational person like Ding Ye can't join hands with the person he likes. If he still wants to have his own family, it is a wise choice to find a suitable one.Isn't that the same argument as that classmate?

Never mind.Qiu Yuening did enough mental construction, rubbed his face with his hands, and let out a long breath.

The door of the box opened, and Ding Ye and Bai Haopeng walked in one after the other.When Ding Ye saw him, he smiled and asked, "I thought you didn't arrive so soon, how long have you been here?"

"Not too long," Qiu Yuening stood up, "for a while."

"Hi," Bai Haopeng stepped from behind Ding Ye to Qiu Yuening's side, "Hi, I used to live in the same dormitory as Ding Ye."

"Hello."

Bai Haopeng asked them to order, and Qiu Yuening casually mentioned two good-looking ones to the menu, and then handed over the choice to Ding Ye.

"Can Xiaoqiu drink? It's very convenient to have a substitute driver here." Bai Haopeng was outgoing and didn't need Ding Ye's mediation, so he asked Qiu Yuening.

"Well, yes."

Ding Ye stopped flipping through the menu, glanced at Qiu Yuening and said in a low voice, "You can drink whatever you want, it's okay if you don't drink."

"It's okay." He can't drink normally, but he will have a rest tomorrow, so it doesn't matter if he drinks a little.

Not a while after ordering, several other people also arrived one after another, and the small room suddenly became lively.The conversation was either about the past or about the upcoming wedding.

"We all guess when Ding Ye will get married," said one of them, "it doesn't matter to him the most."

It doesn't matter... Qiu Yuening secretly looked at Ding Ye; Ding Ye smiled slightly: "If you want to tie it, you will naturally end it, what's so strange."

"Yes," Bai Haopeng booed, "What you want is to be decisive!"

Dishes were served one by one—braised fish with tofu in brown sauce, steamed scallops with vermicelli, stewed beef brisket in casserole... Everyone's enthusiasm gradually shifted from talking about personal affairs to tasting dishes.

Qiu Yuening had a feeling that Ding Ye was very respected by his classmates, but he lacked the intimacy of a good buddy with them, and was covered with an imperceptible alienation. I don't know if it has something to do with Ding Ye's way of treating others.

Bai Haopeng asked the waiter to open the red wine, and everyone poured a glass first.

There are a lot of people and a lot of talking, and unconsciously, the wine goes down quickly.Qiu Yuening didn't feel that he drank a lot, and his mind felt a little swollen.

Bai Haopeng brought more than one bottle of wine, and was about to open a third bottle, but Ding Ye stopped him and said, "Come on, don't drink it all up."

"That's not much, you don't drink that badly, do you?"

"Forgot what your wife said about you?" Ding Ye said in a joking tone, but people familiar with him can naturally hear the persuasion in it, he really doesn't want to continue drinking.

When the protagonist speaks, the tablemates are not forced to do so, they happily respond with a few words, and then talk about other things.

Qiu Yuening always felt that Ding Ye didn't want him to drink anymore, so he said that on purpose. Combined with what he said before the meal, he probably knew that he couldn't drink well.

How did he know.

Qiu Yuening touched his face, it wasn't very hot, could it be red?

He went to the bathroom and washed his face. When he came back, the empty wine glass on the seat had been taken away and replaced with an ordinary glass, which was still half full of water.

"Have a cup of hot water." Ding Ye said.

"Thank you." Qiu Yuening drank the water, inexplicably feeling that this scene was a little familiar, as if he had experienced it before.

It was getting late, and the table was basically cleared of delicacies. Everyone asked the waiter to take a group photo, and then they left and walked out of the box one after another. .

Most of Qiu Yuening's drunkenness subsided, he turned his head and glanced at Ding Ye beside him, and suddenly remembered a small matter that had been neglected.

At the engagement ceremony two years ago, he drank too much wine and threw up before the banquet was over.At that time, he came out of the bathroom and staggered. A uniformed staff member helped him and handed him a cup of hot water.He was unconscious at the time and just said "thank you" without paying attention to who the other party was.Now I realize that that person is very similar to Ding Ye.

While waiting for the substitute driver, Qiu Yuening stood side by side with Ding Ye, looking towards him subconsciously.He seemed to have discovered many "new faces" of Ding Ye tonight.

Ding Ye noticed his gaze, "Did you like the dinner tonight?"

"It's delicious," he collected his rambling thoughts, "Your classmates are also very easy to get along with."

The night wind in summer is always hot, only a little less dry than during the day.

There is no need to verify the previous things, whether it is the so-called crush or the "mysterious person" who once gave him kindness.Qiu Yuening secretly decided that what he had to do was to go on with this person in the future.

"Ding Ye," he opened his mouth again, "I want to go to Wucheng next time I'm on vacation to see your father."
