The Rationalist's Marriage

Ding Ye bought wedding candies and brought them to the company in advance to distribute to everyone—chocolate, crisp candies, soft candies, and fruit-flavored hard candies, all packed in red cloth bags.There are mostly young women in the company, who generally love sweets, and they catch up with the big wedding event of the boss, so they are naturally enthusiastic, and they are all sold out in a short while, and some even eat it.

"Mr. Ding," the subordinate asked, "Aren't you going to do it by the seaside?"

"No, prepare according to the current plan."

The last time I participated in a client's wedding at the seaside, it really left a deep impression on Ding Ye, but after all, it was difficult to travel back and forth from the urban area to the county on that day, especially when Feng Kaijuan was discharged from the hospital not long ago, and Ding Yunqian and Zhang Bo had to travel from other places. Coming here, Ding Ye didn't want the originally happy occasion to be a burden to those around him.

So he chose a suitable hotel in this city, with a blue and white theme as the background tone, which fit Qiu Yuening's professional characteristics and would not look too gaudy.

"Shouldn't the photo be taken?" the assistant reminded.It will take some time to edit and edit later, and Ding Ye knows this too.

"Well, we have an appointment."

After returning to Wucheng, the arrangement for taking photos was postponed for a few days, but it was still within the plan, not in a hurry.

In order to prepare for this shoot, they specially bought several sets of couples' casual clothes, and changed them to suit different locations.

It was also after a long day of filming that Qiu Yuening discovered that in the city he had been living in, there were still many small corners that he hadn’t noticed, which were inconspicuous but full of interest: hidden in the alleys of the busy city, ancient places that seldom stopped. The old tree house...their footprints and precious images are left everywhere.

Ding Ye asked to shoot as naturally as possible, with less deliberation, and he had also participated in photography work in the early years, so he was quite experienced and basically did not need guidance on movements and postures, and he cooperated with Qiu Yuening tacitly.In this way, although there are many places to run, the time spent is not as long as expected.There was still some free time in the afternoon, and the photographer took them down the mountain.

This mountain view is located in the west of the urban area. The mountain is not high, with lush green trees. The stone steps lead to the top of the mountain. There are two teahouses along the way and an old temple in the middle of the mountain.Most of the people who come here are not for climbing mountains, but for pure leisure walks, or to take pictures like them.Today is not the weekend, and the sun has set to the west. There are few people on the mountain road, which is more convenient for them.

Surrounded by greenery, the old temple in the distance is blurred by the setting sun, and the faded red walls and green tiles are revived under the bright golden light.The two completed the last group of shots against this background.

Qiu Yuening stood in front; Ding Ye was on a higher step, with his hands around his shoulders from behind and around his chest, and his lips fell on his right ear.

Qiu Yuening felt Ding Ye's breath, and his body tensed up.The cicadas chirped loudly, and the sound waves like sawing wood rushed towards him accompanied by layers of heat.

"Okay!" After the photographer shouted, he put down the machine in his hand, "That's it, thanks for your hard work!"

The two thanked several staff members and returned to the city in their car.

In the evening, they ate outside. After a day of tossing, they were somewhat tired, and no other activities were arranged.After parting with Ding Ye, Qiu Yuening drove home with bright lights all the way.

There are many small shops around the airport. He thought that the instant noodles at home were gone, so he stopped the car in front of the corner convenience store.He doesn't like to eat convenience food very much, but the amount of work meals on the plane is limited, and he suddenly gets hungry at night, so it's the most convenient to buy some instant noodles and keep them for emergencies.

"Didn't you fly today?" Although he didn't know his name, the shopkeeper often saw him shopping in uniform, and he was already familiar with it.

"The day after tomorrow," he took a few bars of chocolate from the shelf next to the counter, "and these."

"I'll get you a bag." The shopkeeper skillfully put a few items into plastic bags.

"Thank you."

The electronic sound of "Welcome next time" sounded above his head, and Qiu Yuening walked out of the shop.

A light flashed across the sky, and the surroundings suddenly lit up. Within a moment, a series of low-pitched roars came from far and near.

It's going to rain.

He quickened his pace and walked to the parking place.

"Vietnam!"

Before Qiu Yuening turned his head, he guessed the owner of the voice, and hesitantly put down the hand that was about to pull the car door.

"Yue Ning, I finally see you."

Qi Ran didn't explain why he appeared here, but Qiu Yuening couldn't help but suspect that it was related to him.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm looking for you, I—" He glanced down and noticed the bag in Qiu Yuening's hand, "Why do you still buy these rubbish?"

Without saying a word, Qiu Yuening pulled the car door and threw the things on the back seat first.

Qi Ran looked at him, and hurriedly changed his words: "I'm sorry Yue Ning, I didn't mean to accuse you—"

"Qi Ran," Qiu Yuening knocked on the door, and continued, "You don't have to do this."

"What if it's not necessary?"

"Aren't you tired of always saying things against your will?"

"Do you want me to tell the truth?" His eyes lit up, "Then I still want to come to you, can I?"

"No," Qiu Yuening said, "I'm getting married soon. In the future, Ding - my wife will move in with me. I don't want to be disturbed by other things."

"You said Mr. Ding..." Speaking of this, Qi Ran became annoyed, "This person is not that simple, has he been trying to get your attention long ago? He has been waiting for us to break up?"

Qiu Yuening frowned, and didn't like to hear him speculate on Ding Ye in such a tone.

"We had no contact at all in the past two years, and we met by accident in March."

"March?" He said in disbelief, "We've been dating for almost a year and you only proposed to get engaged, and now you plan to get married so soon?

"I knew you never really loved me."

Qiu Yuening felt tight in his chest.Back then, he didn't propose a marriage plan prematurely, including not having a more intimate physical relationship. It was purely because Gu Nianqiran was young, but in the eyes of the other party, it was equivalent to "never loved".

The explanation is meaningless, it just further shows that the two are not suitable.

Qi Ran probably realized that he had said the wrong thing again, and remedied it: "It doesn't matter if you don't like me, let me pursue you again."

Qiu Yuening felt that in Qi Ran's eyes, he was like a child who had never experienced loss facing a toy he couldn't get.

It was like this in the past, because he rejected his pursuit at first, but instead aroused his possessive desire, and he could always appear not far from him, just like today; with his persistence and deliberately lowered posture, he won lost that feeling.

However, after that, maybe after getting it, the interest faded, maybe Qi Ran's repressed nature gradually revealed, from living habits to values, he clashed with Qiu Yuening everywhere, and he no longer restrained himself as before, and the contradictions snowballed. .Qiu Yuening became the one who worried about gains and losses, afraid that he would be disliked and Qi Ran would break up.At that time, he thought that as long as he tolerated it, he just needed to be careful. He had been so happy after discussing the engagement, so he thought that there was no need to worry about it.

But he kept nothing.

It wasn't until today, seeing Qi Ran's expression the same as back then, that he fully understood the awkwardness between them - there was always one who was humiliating.

Dating should be something that makes both of you happy, so why screw yourself into a strange look.

"Qi Ran, I just said that you don't need to do this. It means that you don't need to change yourself for anyone. If this is the only way to get along well, it means that we shouldn't be together in the first place."

Qi Ran opened his eyes wide and took a step back.He was still a child at heart, and never really understood the emotional relationship that Qiu Yuening yearned for.

"It's going to rain soon." The air was so stuffy, Qiu Yuening lowered his head and tapped his finger on the phone, "Where do you live now? I'll call a car for you."

"You—" Qi Ran originally thought that even if they couldn't reach an agreement, at least Qiu Yuening would send him home.

"I asked for your address."

"It's still Blue Lake Bay," he muttered, and suddenly shouted, "Why do you decide for me?"

"White, tail number 536, it's up to you whether you get in the car or not," Qiu Yuening put away the phone, a sentence lingered in his mind, and he finally said, "Sorry, Qi Ran, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore." touch."
