Chapter 13: The Quagmire

I felt my heart tremble and my throat tightened. Although I know that no amount of disguise in front of my friends is superfluous, I really don't want anyone else to know my secret: "What do you say! Guo Nuo is Pei'an's husband. ”

"Yes, but he's also the person you've had a crush on for ten years. Fan Shuangshuang calmly opened the skylight.

I don't want to quibble anymore, it will alienate me from my relationship with Fan Shuangshuang, but this matter only means despair to me, and even a little bit of shame from being politely refused.

"How do you know?" I asked slowly, as I fiddled with my fingers for a moment, looking up.

"The night you announced in the dormitory that you were going to go to Guo Nuo to confess, not only was Gao Zhao there, but I was also there, have you forgotten?" Fan Shuangshuang smiled at me.

"yes, I remember. But after all this time, how can you be sure that I still care about him?"

"Look at Guo Nuo's eyes, and also, you mentioned Guo Nuo's tone. How could I not see that we have been friends for so many years? Moreover, I haven't heard you mention Guo Nuo since you went to confess that night, which means that you have never let go. ”

At this time, night had completely fallen, and the floor lamps placed in the lawn suddenly turned on, and the orange light shone on the row of red maples with dense foliage next to the cloister, which was indescribably warm and ambiguous. On the other side of the maple tree is a bar where Chrysler's violin piece "The Sorrow of Love" is played. This reminds me of the graduation party, where Guo Nuo attended as an outstanding graduate and a special guest, and played a piece of Liang Zhu on the violin for our group of younger students. At that time, I watched him look up to him on the stage by a group of obsessed schoolgirls in the audience, while being proud, and at the same time painful and sad because I knew that the protagonist of his love voice was another person, this feeling was like soaking my whole heart in lemon juice.

"Don't worry, the queen doesn't know, she looks strong, but in fact, she is simple and ruthless in emotional matters. Maybe it's because her love always goes very well!" Fan Shuangshuang's words interrupted my memories.

I smiled and sighed, "No, I'm not worried at all. Because no matter what, Guo Nuo and I can't do it. You are my relatives, and I cannot accept the betrayal of my relatives, let alone betray my relatives. ”

"You are so principled, May!" Fan Shuangshuang hooked the corners of her mouth helplessly: "Then you don't like Guo Nuo!

I know that Fan Shuangshuang is encouraging me with her own affairs, or rather, I hope that we can encourage each other to get through the difficulties and move towards a new life. However, I couldn't tell a lie in the face of my friends, so I could only confess very unjustly: "I like him, and I should always like him." ”

For a long time, Guo Nuo has been like the sun illuminating my otherwise bleak and undisturbed life, although I know that I am just an ordinary person who is treated indiscriminately by the sun, but I still use it to keep warm and make a living. But with Guo Nuo and Anna together, my attachment to Guo Nuo has become a quagmire in which I am trapped, and if a person stays in the quagmire for too long and does not die, he will simply give up the struggle and make the quagmire his home.

"May!Frost!, you're here too!" the pillar of light from the lamp headed towards the cloister, casting the bar in darkness. Fan Shuangshuang and I looked along the pillar of light, but we couldn't see who was walking towards us, we only felt that the light was dazzling.

"Cynthia!" It wasn't until they got close that I recognized Cynthia Chang in a Prada purple dress. After sitting here for a long time, Fan Shuangshuang and I didn't notice that there was a cobblestone path between the cloister and the bar. And Cynthia Zhang came over through this path that was blocked by the maple tree: "As soon as I arrived, I saw the rainforest and my friends sitting here, and then there were two figures sitting on the side of the maple tree, I looked like the two of you and ran over to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be true! Anyway, the banquet will start in a while, you guys come and sit together first!"

Fan Shuangshuang and I glanced at each other, Fan Shuangshuang's eyes were surprised, and I should have been very annoyed. The "path" between the cloister and the bar is only about three or four meters long. If what we say is listened to by Chang Yulin....... Guo Nuo!

I froze where I was, unable to move. Chang Yulin and Guo Nuo sat at the table closest to the corridor, two men, the same eye-catching, the same bright clothes. An expression with a gentle expression and a faint warmth on the corner of his mouth. The other, with his sharp eyebrows gently raised, smiled with a meaning.

I want to die.

Before I could come up with a reason to escape, Chang Yulin spoke: "Please sit down, you two! Mrs. Guo will come over later." ”

Chang Yulin deliberately said the three words "Mrs. Guo" very slowly, forcing me to jump off the building.

He was probably afraid that Cynthia wouldn't understand, so he continued to explain kindly: "This is Guo Nuo, 'Mrs. Guo' is your good sister Qi Pei'an!"

"Oh my God! you're Guo Nuo! Hmm......" Cynthia looked around Guo Nuo a little exaggeratedly: "Yes, this appearance is worthy of my Anna!"

Fan Shuangshuang and I sat down, and we looked at each other again as Cynthia said this.

Cynthia seemed to enjoy the feeling of being noticed by the two men, and she shook her body against Chang Yulin: "Yulin, how did you and Guo Nuo meet?"

Chang Yulin smiled, and glanced down at Cynthia's jade hand that was intimately rubbing on his shoulder: "Oh, Guo Nuo and I have been talking about some things recently, and we haven't known each other for a long time, but we hate to see each other late." ”

Cynthia probably saw that Chang Yulin didn't tell her too much detail and was a little disappointed, so she left him to find a seat and sit down.

Fan Shuangshuang kicked me under the table, and before I could react, she had already stood up: "I'm really embarrassed to be handsome guys and beauties! Today I am the chief dispatcher, and the time is not early, I had better hurry over and prepare now, so I won't talk to you first." ”

I didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and I stood up: "I'll accompany you!"

.......Leaning against the corner of the banquet hall, I rolled my eyes and stared at the crystal lamp hanging in the center of the ceiling, and said to Fan Shuangshuang: "I feel that I will live in the shadow of today for the rest of my life. ”

"Maybe they didn't hear anything at all!" Fan Shuangshuang tried to comfort me.

"You're right! we didn't hear the two of them talking, did we?" I tried to remember, but I didn't seem to hear much else near the cloister.

"It's okay, don't think too much! It can't be worse than it is now. Fan Shuangshuang made a summary of the speech, and then glanced at his mobile phone: "When the time comes, there are already guests coming one after another, so you can mourn for yourself here! If you are not in a good mood, you can also drink two cups to help the fun! I will be busy first." ”

Fan Shuangshuang's words couldn't stimulate me anymore, but her words reminded me that I still have business to do today.

The banquet hall was already filled with seats, and all the tables were arranged in a semicircle, leaving space for a dance floor. This arrangement is a bit old-fashioned, but because Gao Zhao's mother asks to relive the ceremony, Fan Shuangshuang can only hide the pop culture in her head, and everything goes retro.

I was still standing in the corner of the ballroom, looking for my "goal" for tonight.

Soon, Lisa followed her parents into the venue.
