Night Labyrinth

Li Han and I got out of the car, and I saw beaming flower baskets, balloons, and banners at the entrance of the hotel.

Walking into the hall, you can see the wedding notice board of Lu Fei and Dai Hanbai.

On the screen, Lu Fei is wearing a snow-white wedding dress, snuggling up to Dai Han Bai and smiling happily.

The words "Love for a lifetime, happiness for a lifetime" are printed on the notice board.

When I looked at this line of writing, I suddenly thought, I have actually said to Lu Fei my whole life, but she didn't hear it.

It was the winter vacation of my senior year, spanning from 2013 to 2014, from "love you all my life" to "love you all my life".

其实跨年夜那天我是和路菲通着电话的，在2013年12月31日23点59分的时候。

At that time, I really wanted to say something to her, but the fireworks outside the window were not loud enough, so I couldn't say it in the end.

Later, on the night of New Year's Eve, I called her again, just a few minutes before the countdown to the New Year.

You ask her, "You won't forget me, will you?"

She smiled and said, "How is it possible? Have you forgotten that I said I would haunt you forever?"

I thought of course I hadn't, I was just afraid you would.

And Lu Fei's words were like a soothing spell, which made me feel at ease.

Then I called her name, almost at the same time, I heard the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala on TV started.

Lu Fei anxiously shouted to me, "Hurry up! We're going to set off firecrackers!"

I counted down the countdown, and at the moment when the firecrackers exploded, I said to her, "Lu Fei, I want to be with you for the rest of my life."

Although it is not the New Year's Eve of the Gregorian calendar, it is not the real 2013 to 2014, but at least it is also a transition to the New Year.

And I finally confessed to her when she couldn't hear me.

After I finished speaking, I didn't hang up the phone, and neither did Lu Fei.

A few minutes later, the sound of firecrackers finally faded away.

I heard Lu Fei yelling at me, "What the hell did you just say to me?"

I replied, "I didn't say anything. I was so noisy with the firecrackers that I forgot what to say."

Lu Fei said that she was even more curious.

I smiled and said, "Don't be curious, since you've forgotten it, it's definitely not a big deal."

So she said to me, "That's right, Happy New Year!"

I also said to her, "Happy New Year!"

……

"Shuling, long time no see!" Xiao A yelled and rushed forward. Although she was married, her straightforward appearance remained unchanged.

I patted her on the back, "Well, it's really been a long time."

"You won't go to my wedding, but you will come to Lu Fei's. You're too partial!" Little A complained as she withdrew from my arms.

I smiled and said, "Then I'll drink a few more glasses later to apologize to you."

At this time, Xiao B and her boyfriend also came over. She was also very surprised to see me, but then her eyes turned to Li Han, "This...you don't want to introduce us."

Li Han stretched out his hand to her and said, "Hi, my name is Li Han, and I'm Shu Ling's boyfriend."

So Xiao B's boyfriend also introduced himself, several people were shaking hands one by one, and Xiao A's husband also came over.

After the whole circle of family identification was over, Little B left the three men chatting, and then pulled Little A and me to the lounge where Lu Fei was.

The two of them walked forward talking and laughing, but I felt my heart start to tighten.

In the room in front is the woman I have liked since college, the woman I have loved for several years and have been separated for several years and have never forgotten.

I hadn't seen her in two years since the four of us got together a year after college.

And since He Lin passed away, Lu Fei seemed to have matured a lot all of a sudden.

Now that she's getting married, I don't know if it's the same she I used to know behind the door.

Finally, the door was pushed open by Little A, and I saw a figure in a snow-white wedding dress sitting by the window with his back to us.

The figure turned around when he heard the noise, and looked at the few of us.

That's Lu Fei, the Lu Fei I secretly liked the whole time in college, the Lu Fei I told her "forever".

Lu Fei's makeup was exquisite, her hair adorned with care, and her gorgeous wedding dress made her look like a fairy from the world.And the smile on her face was gentle and dignified, she was no longer the cautious, bold and enthusiastic girl back then.

She stood up and said to us, "You guys are here."

Little A was about to rush forward, but was stopped by little B, "Don't mess up other people's wedding dress."

And I looked at Lu Fei and thought in a daze that the dazzling girl in the past, now this beautiful and picturesque woman, is about to become someone else's bride.

"Lu Fei, you are so quick. You obviously said you would be my bridesmaid, but you got married earlier than me." Little B teased.

Lu Fei asked with a smile, "How are your wedding preparations going?"

"It's almost there, it will be held in two months." Little B turned to look at me while talking, "Shu Ling, you must not go!"

Lu Fei also looked at me. She held out her hand to me and said with a smile, "Shuling, long time no see."

"Long time no see." I held her hand and tried to show a proper smile.

Everyone chatted for a while, and little B pulled up little A to go out, "Oh, I'm going to the toilet, so little A will accompany me."

Little A protested, "How old are you, go by yourself, I want to see the bride."

But in the end little A was dragged away by little B, so there were only two of us left in the room.

I felt like something was pressing on my heart, and I couldn't get rid of it even after so many years without knowing it.

I thought I should say something like "Hundred years of marriage, forever together, early birth of a precious child", but in the end I only said "Congratulations".

Lu Fei replied, "Thank you, I'm glad you came over."

I saw her gentle and sincere smile, and her temperament was like a bouquet of white lilies.

I couldn't help but think that Lu Fei is actually the same Lu Fei, but he is more mature than before.

But something has changed forever, that girl is going to get married today and be the wife and mother of a family ever since, and I'm going to give her up for good.

"No, it should." I also returned her a smile.

"It's so fast. It's been a few years since I graduated, and now Xiao A and I are married, and you and Xiao B also have boyfriends." Lu Fei sighed.

"It's just a blind date at home." I blurted out before realizing it was inappropriate, and quickly added, "I said I was with Li Han."

"How did he treat you?" Lu Fei asked with a smile.

"Very good." I asked back, "How did Dai Hanbai treat you?"

"Of course not bad," Lu Fei replied, "otherwise I wouldn't have married him."

"Well, yes." I realized that this question was too much to ask, so I couldn't help laughing at myself.

At this time, someone opened the door and came in, and asked while walking in, "Lu Fei, how are you getting ready?"

When I saw that it was Lu Fei's mother, I greeted her, "Hello, Auntie."

Her mother looked at me in surprise and said, "This is Shuling, I still remember that when Lu Fei was sent to school, you looked the most stable in your dormitory, and I thought that Lu Fei should learn more from you." Well, sure enough, the two of you will be the best later on."

"Auntie has a really good memory." I nodded and smiled.

Her mother asked again, "I heard from Lu Fei that you also have a boyfriend. Have you decided when to get married?"

"Well, not yet."

"Mom, can you stop gossiping like that." Lu Fei grabbed her mother's arm and smiled.

"Okay, okay, I'm gossiping. I'm just here to see how you're getting ready. Then you chat with Shuling, and I'll call you later."

"Okay." Lu Fei said and sent her mother out.

And I stood behind Lu Fei, looking at her back, thinking that after a while, she will be handed over to another man by her family...

Lu Fei came back and smiled at me, "I saw you when I was in school, and my mother has been praising you..."

"Lu Fei." I interrupted her, at this moment I suddenly knew what I was going to say, "Do you still remember that you owe me a condition?"

"What?" Lu Fei's expression froze.

"On the night we graduated from college, we went out for a dinner party. A boy asked me for a phone number, so I gave it to him. Later, the two of us made a bet on whether the boy would call me. You said yes, and I said that if you lost Just owe me one condition."

"I asked what your request was, but you said you didn't think about it..." Lu Fei recalled.

"Now I think about it." I looked her directly in the eyes.

"What is it?" Lu Fei smiled at me.

I walked over to her, and then gently hugged her who was all in white.

Lu Fei didn't move, just stood there quietly.

"My request is," I whispered the answer softly in her ear, "I want you to be happy."

After I finished speaking, I let her go, and I saw Lu Fei move her lips slightly, and then she said to me, "Thank you, Shuling."

"Then I'll go out first." After uttering these words, I left Lu Fei and turned around and walked towards the door.

Lu Fei, in fact, you will definitely lose that bet, because the moment I saved that number, I directly pulled it into the blacklist.

And please forgive my selfishness and self-deception. If I say this, it seems that your happiness is because of me.

When I walked to the hall, I saw Li Han, little A and little B sitting together, so I sat in the seat reserved for me by Li Han.

Little B asked, "What did you say, it took so long?"

"Nothing." I replied.

Soon the wedding began. Wearing a snow-white wedding dress, Lu Fei walked out slowly amidst the sound of music, holding her father's hand, and was handed over to Daihan Bai.

Then Lu Fei and Dai Han Bai exchanged rings amid the blessings of everyone, and then Dai Han Bai kissed her.

I looked at the warm scene, and thought that I actually kissed Lu Fei on the lips one night, but no one knew about it except me.

Lu Fei and Dai Hanbo toasted each table in turn. When we arrived at our table, everyone said to them, "Enjoy love, grow old together", so I also said "Enjoy love, grow old together".

When the wedding was about to end, I greeted little A and little B and said, "You keep drinking, we will go back first." Then I took Li Han to leave the banquet first.

Li Han looked at Lu Fei and Dai Hanbo who were not far away, and asked me suspiciously, "Why don't you go over and say hello?"

I shook my head, "No need, they are still busy greeting guests."

Li Han didn't say anything more.

After leaving the hotel, Li Han called a taxi, and I got in first, covering my eyes.

"What's wrong?" Li Han looked at my behavior very strangely, he reached out to move my arm away, and I followed his movement and removed my hand from my eyes.

"Why are you crying?" Li Han's voice was a little flustered.

I replied, "It's okay, I just feel that so many years have passed in a flash, and I feel a little sad."

Li Han laughed, "Since when did you become so sad."

"Yeah, I'm surprised too." I smiled.

The taxi drove away from the hotel, I looked at the passing scenery outside the window, and told myself in my heart, this time I can really let go.

"Be happy, your best friend from college is getting married." Li Han patted my shoulder.

"Well, I'm very happy." I looked into Li Han's concerned eyes.

I am very happy.

She is about to run to happiness.

She finally no longer needs my protection.

I can completely let go.

This day, my girl, grows up.

【Shu Ling】End

The author has something to say:

This story was originally intended to be written like this, a Shimizu BE, and I have been sticking to the original intention to finish writing it as it is.

But at the end of the writing, something made me shake about the ending, well, mainly a certain true story caused me to reflect.

So I didn't block the ending in the last few chapters. It can be said that not only did Lu Fei and Daihan Bai not make any substantial progress, but they even secretly planted a new dark thread.

Those who think this ending is more appropriate can stop here, and those who are not satisfied don't worry, we will have a special chapter next.

There I will reveal the hidden plot, absolutely not violating the harmony, and promise not to touch a certain Leiha.

In addition, everyone should be able to see from Lu Fei's emotional affiliation and copywriting that this article follows the main line of Lu Fei Helin.Therefore, although the special chapter does not violate the agreement, if it is placed here in "Night Labyrinth", the integrity of the article will be destroyed.

So after much deliberation, I decided to write another short story, and I put the special one there, and you can read it in my column tomorrow.

So this is the end of "Night Labyrinth", thank you for your company over the past month.

This is my first serialization, and there must be many shortcomings. Thank you again for your support and tolerance. Every click, every book review, and every collection of yours is a great encouragement to me.

There will be an [Postscript] later, I will explain the reason for writing this article, the setting of He Lin's fall from the building, and some information that can be made public now (about a person who is about to be forgotten).

So those who are looking forward to the special article can guess what the hidden plot is, and we will see you in another short article tomorrow!
