C18 Love Confession

The water in the fountain flowed down the giant sculpture like a waterfall. Mi Cai, Jian Wei, and I looked at each other in the sound of flowing water. For a moment, no one broke the silence.

Finally, Jian Wei smiled at me and said, "Long time no see, Zhao Yang."

"Yes." I only answered one word. I was afraid that there would be too many words that would make her hear my trembling voice. I was even more afraid that she would know that I was afraid.

Jian Wei only smiled at my reply and looked at Mi Cai and asked, "Your girlfriend?"

Only then did I realize that I was still firmly holding onto Mi Cai and did not bother to let go of her. I thought, If Mi Cai is really my girlfriend, then it would be enough to prove that the years that I broke up with Jian Wei were not bad. At least I did not die in the loneliness of one person.

I instinctively did not want Jian Wei to see me living a miserable life. Under this instinctive urge, I actually nodded at Jian Wei and said, "That's right, she is my girlfriend."

After saying that, I nervously looked at Mi Cai who was beside me, afraid that she would expose me and turn me into a joke.

Mi Cai frowned and kept silent. She seemed to be planning to show mercy to me, but at the same time, she seemed unwilling to give up this perfect opportunity to take revenge on me.

I hurriedly said to Mi Cai, "Don't you have urgent matters to attend to in the company? Hurry up and go. I will explain to my friends later. They will understand."

Mi Cai struggled to shake off my hand as if she was eager to leave this place. Without saying anything, she turned around and walked towards her own car.

The red Q7 brought along a burst of air currents as it drove past my body. The air seemed to be filled with Mi Cai's angry breath. It seemed that I really angered her.

The fountain was still surging but only Jian Wei and I were left at the scene. I lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. I pretended to be helpless as I complained. " Sigh! She is busy all day long..."

"Is that so? But your girlfriend looks pretty good."

"What do you mean she looks pretty good? Of course she's not bad!" I stood up straight and corrected Jian Wei's words in dissatisfaction.

Jian Wei sized me up and said after a while, "Zhao Yang, you still haven't changed."

"What do you mean?"

Without waiting for Jian Wei's reply, the best man, Xiang Chen, waved at Jian Wei from afar. He said that the emcee was looking for her and that there was a wedding that needed her cooperation.

Jian Wei responded to Xiang Chen and looked at me. She asked, "The lunch banquet is about to begin. Aren't you going in?"

"I finished smoking."

Looking at Jian Wei's back as she left, my heart was filled with disappointment. I wanted to tell her that she was right. I really haven't changed. I still miss those days when we were together. I still remember, that day, I could not meet her family and could only hide in a corner to send her off. I also remember. She used a lipstick to write down "wait" heavily on the car window. I watched from afar until the word "wait" completely blurred in my line of sight, until two lines of tears that she would never see hung on her face...

I was immersed in the scenes of the past and even wanted to rush over and hug her at all costs. I told her that I still loved her, but just now... Our conversation after a long separation was so bland and tasteless that we couldn't even be considered ordinary friends. I know that those silent love relationships are getting further and further away from us...

If my heart is a city, at this moment, the entire city is crying!

...

The wedding ceremony starts and everyone takes their seats. My colleagues and I sit at the back while Jian Wei, Xiang Chen, the groom, and the bride sit at the table at the front.

I couldn't help but look at Jian Wei, but I couldn't control myself at all. I was very funny. I asked a woman who had been gone for three years and would always remind me of every night. When she was only a short distance away from me, how could I suppress my urge to think of her?

My colleagues by my side are talking to me, and I am absent-mindedly dealing with them. However, I always find a reason to look towards Jian Wei's side, and from beginning to end, Jian Wei did not even give me a look of response. She only chatted with Xiang Chen from time to time. Basically, she would reveal a knowing smile after saying a few words. The two of them were very compatible, and Jian Wei seemed to be in a very good mood.

The emcee on the stage urged Faang Yuan and Yem Yan to have intimate interactions. The people below the stage started to jeer. I still didn't say anything, but I drank wine after wine.

In a trance, Xiang Chen walked towards me with a glass in his hand. I raised my wine glass and downed it in one gulp. When Xiang Chen walked in front of me, I had already poured myself a full glass of wine. I shouted at Xiang Chen, "Little brother Xiang Chen, come over and lie down for this young master."

Xiang Chen smiled and said, "It's not certain who will lie down! How many do you want to drink this time? "

What Xiang Chen and I said about lying down is a bad habit left behind from university. We used to be young and frivolous, and we would definitely drink until the other party was lying down. At that time, the only person who would still stand at the end of the drinking session would be very awesome and call the person lying down a grandchild. In the four years of university, I lied down. Faang Yuan lied down. Xiang Chen naturally laid down as well, so the three of us alternated between being grandsons for four years. But we have never admitted that the other two are grandfathers!

In fact, ever since I stepped into society, I have no longer been as foolish as I was when I was in university. But today, no matter who it is, as long as you pick up the cup with me... No matter what kind of wine, no matter how many cups, I will accompany you. Because I am happy for Faang Yuan and Yem Yan and feel sad for myself. With so many emotions, perhaps wine is my best antidote.

After changing to a large cup, I poured a cup of white wine that was almost full. Picking up the cup, I said to Xiang Chen, "Just like before, one cup for each person. If you can't drink it, quickly lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. Don't beg for mercy and don't explain."

Everyone was amused by my words and burst into laughter. They thought that we were joking, but I didn't blink. I really picked up the cup and drank a full cup of white wine in two gulps. Then, I pointed the cup downwards, indicating that I had finished drinking.

Amidst the exclamations, everyone's attention shifted from Faang Yuan and Yem Yan to Xiang Chen and me, including Jian Wei.

"Zhao Yang, you are still so fierce even after graduating for a few years. But I will definitely drink this wine because I am very happy today." After saying that, he also drank the wine in his cup and looked towards Jian Wei.

I discovered this detail and a string in my heart was suddenly pulled. I understand why Xiang Chen was so happy.

When we were in university, I chased after Jian Wei with him, but Jian Wei chose me. Then he called Jian Wei brother and sister and continued to give her meticulous care. Of course, at that time, it seemed like it was a form of relief. But now, I have already broken up with Jian Wei and Jian Wei has already returned to the country. If Jian Wei is still single, then he can definitely have a legitimate reason to pursue Jian Wei again.

I was silent, but Xiang Chen poured another full cup of white wine and said to me, "Little brother Zhao Yang, can you do me a favor? Let's have another cup."

I nodded and poured another glass of white wine. Just as I was about to drink it all in one go, Xiang Chen pressed down on my glass and said, "This time, I will drink first."

After saying that, Xiang Chen raised his head and drank the entire cup of white wine. He then placed the cup on the table and walked towards Jian Wei.

Jian Wei used a caring tone to scold Xiang Chen, "Don't drink too much. Aren't you afraid of hurting your body by drinking like this?"

"I want to tell you the truth with the wine I drank!" After saying that, Xiang Chen looked up and closed his eyes to take a deep breath. He then borrowed the microphone from the host and watched Jian Wei enter a state of deep love.

I suddenly have a premonition that the next scene will be enough to tear me apart!

...

The entire place was silent. At this moment, Xiang Chen's expression was filled with sincerity, and there was a hint of emotion in his gentleness. He held Jian Wei's hand tightly, stared at it for a long time and said, "Today is a day full of happiness, and also the day I have been looking forward to for a long time. Jian Wei, I have deeply loved you for five years. I have never changed. Even if you are with Zhao Yang, I have never given up on loving you. I once thought that Zhao Yang would give you happiness, so I chose to silently bless all of you. However, reality has proven that your love has failed. I will not judge your love. After all, love is free. It is meaningless for anyone to struggle with the past. Now that you're single, I hope you can be my girlfriend. I'm really willing to do anything for you, even if you plan to return to America... I'm also willing to go abroad with you, and I'll always be with you at the end of the world. Just like the time two years ago when I went to America to accompany you! I'll make you happy, I'll give you happiness! "

My heart felt as if it had exploded. Xiang Chen's words reminded me of one thing. It was a month after Jian Wei and I broke up. Xiang Chen had indeed gone abroad for a period of time. It was just that he did not tell us which country he went to at that time. Now it could be confirmed that he went to America to accompany Jian Wei, who had lost her love. It turned out that he had been in contact with Jian Wei all these years.

Everyone was waiting for Jian Wei to agree to Xiang Chen, but at this moment, I completely understand that Jian Wei loved a feeling when she was in college, but after she graduated, she loved the right family.

No matter how you look at it, Xiang Chen and Jian Wei were the best match. I thought, Maybe I already know the answer Jian Wei is about to give Xiang Chen.

In the tearing pain, I seemed to see the day when I saw her off. She cried and wrote down "Wait heavily on the window with lipstick, Wait..."
