Chapter 32 (II)
This "I'm against" interrupting the dreamlike atmosphere of the scene, everyone looked back to see which person was drunk and coaxed, but saw a waiter in a black suit striding from the bar counter surrounded by an awning, because he had been hiding in the shadows, so not many people found out how outstanding this waiter's posture was, his shoulders were wide and his waist was narrow, like a standard inverted triangle body that can only be seen on the catwalk, and his legs were as straight and slender as running through the clouds, when he stepped on the red carpet in the center of the venue in full view, he was a long overdue protagonistγ
"Bai Qi!" Bai Yuyuan recognized him first, bounced up from the chair excitedly, and asked in a shrill voice of "knowingly", "What are you doing here?"
"Bai Qi?" Zhou Biyun also exclaimed, but after a moment of confusion on her face, she couldn't hold back the surprise and excitement, at this moment she felt like the kind of exciting moment when she was tired of fighting on the battlefield after resisting stubbornly for a long time, and when she saw the reinforcements of thousands of troops and horses in the rear arrive.
Jiang Qiong and Chi Dongliang didn't know each other and didn't know who Bai Qi was, but they all stood up, because they instinctively realized that the comer was not good, so they both put on a look of preparing for battle, and at the same time looked nervously at Chi Nuo on the stage.
Because of the distance, Chi Nuo standing on the stage was the last to recognize Bai Qilai, his expression changed from hesitation to confirmation, panic and anger, his first reaction was to take a step, as if he was going to meet the enemy, but he immediately took half a step back, blocking Chen Yi with half of his body, as if he wanted to protect his territory.
Without waiting for Chen Yi to react, Chi Nuo seemed to be in a hurry to close the city gate, and said to the host, "Don't pay attention to that neurosis, let's continue-"
Bai Qi raised his hand and pointed at Chen Yi, and yelled fiercely, "Chen Yi, I am against you marrying this person." β
"Why do you object?" Chi Nuo was anxious, snatched the microphone from the host's hand, and pointed at him and asked.
"Because she doesn't love you, of course. Bai Qi burst out laughing.
As soon as these words came out, the guests present couldn't help but be in an uproar, and they all exchanged their heads and made sighing sounds, and the scene of the engagement ceremony suddenly turned into a reality show with ups and downs.
Everyone had an expression of waiting for the show to be staged, only Chi Nuo's parents were so anxious that they gritted their teeth, Bai Yuyuan's expression was even more terrifying, she unconsciously grabbed the white tablecloth with both hands, and the force seemed to tear it in half.
Chi Nuo's voice was trembling with annoyance, "Get out, this is the engagement ceremony between me and Chen Yi, no one welcomes you!"
"It's just an engagement ceremony, do you think you can tie up Chen Yi? The Chen Yi you know is someone who can be tied up? Tell you, even if you are a wedding ceremony today, she can leave you, in this world, there is no one who can trap Chen Yi, even me. Chi Nuo put his hands in his pockets and said leisurely and provocatively, "Don't change the topic, face my question directly, you ask Chen Yi, you ask her to speak, you ask her, do you love you?
"I know she doesn't love me!" Chi Nuo interrupted him loudly, this answer was a little unexpected for Bai Qi, because he thought that out of self-esteem, Chi Nuo would not face this problem in front of the public, but he not only calmly faced it, but even asked rhetorically, "So what?"
Everyone in the audience was even more surprised, and Jiang Qiong and Chi Dongliang looked sad, they were about to rush to the stage to protect their calves, and they suddenly fell back to their seats as if they were deflated, because their son showed weakness in public, saying that he was a man who "knelt and licked" his wife and tore their old faces apart.
But Bai Qigo was not happy because of Chi Nuo's humble performance, whether he performed this bitter scene intentionally or by mistake, it made Chen Yi feel even more guilty, and made it difficult for her and him to ride a tiger at the same time, as if they were joining forces to slaughter an unarmed person.
Sure enough, Chen Yi's heart immediately softened, and she said expressionlessly, "Bai Qi, don't mess around, let's go." β
Chi Nuo smiled, holding the microphone to Bai Qi to announce his victory, "Do you hear? Please leave, no matter who Chen Yi loves in her heart, no one is forcing her today, the person who stands here to marry her and become his husband is me, and she chose me on her own initiative." β
Bai Qi stared at Chen Yi and asked in an urgent tone, "Chen Yi, are you married to love?"
Chen Yi was silent, Chi Nuo held her hand tightly on the side, and she could feel him shivering.
Bai Qi continued to say with a melancholy face: "Yiyi, for you, I have done all my stupid things, today is the last time, today, I am standing here, it is a retreat opened by God for you, I am the last escape route in your life that follows the rules, if you reject me, from now on, you will really be trapped in a dead end, are you willing?"
Chen Yi turned his face away, and couldn't bear to meet Bai Qi's eyes again, because he looked like he was about to cry, she couldn't see him crying, she could mend the hole in the sky, but she didn't know how to wipe Bai Qi's tears.
Bai Qi finally shook his head and said with a wry smile, "You are not the Chen Yi I know. β
Seeing Bai Qi turn around as if he was about to leave, Chi Nuo's hand holding Chen Yi was slightly loosened, but Chen Yi's wrist had already left a dark red mark that had been pinched out, like a pair of handcuffs.
A dry thunderbolt suddenly came to mind in the sky, as if it had exploded on Bai Qi's body, which made him shake all over, stop again, and look back and roar unwillingly, "Chen Yi, can you be brave once?"
The raindrops suddenly fell down, and the guests rushed to the parasols around the central dining area, where there was a beautiful buffet table, and some people had already picked up their plates to enjoy the delicious food in advance during the play, and in the end, only the three protagonists were still standing in the rain and facing each other.
Bai Qifa asked, "Only once, only when you were nineteen years old, you went to Beijing regardless of it, that was the only time you were brave, and since then, you ask yourself, have you never taken risks again?
"I'm afraid of everything! The nineteen-year-old Chen Yi you like didn't go to Beijing because she was brave, she went to Beijing because she was stupid, and the ignorant were fearless, don't you understand?" Chen Yi finally spoke, talking to Bai Qi, "What's the benefit of taking risks?
"You got me!" Bai Qi stood straight in the rain, the rain washed his eyes, making him have to frown and roar, "It is because of that nineteen-year-old you that I am who I am today, your adventure has become my guiding light, every step I take, is chasing your light source, I envy you, worship you, until today, I still love you." β
Chen Yi trembled, and could no longer control his body to rush towards him, but Chi Nuo tightly stopped her wrist behind him, Bai Qi saw this, so he rushed up and grabbed Chen Yi's other arm, and continued to confess, "Don't be afraid of your stupidity, don't be afraid of making mistakes, Yiyi, from before to the future, every adventure you have watched and accompanied me, and I will always give you the cover." β
Seeing the development of this situation, Chi Nuo knew that the general trend had gone, and he also cried in panic, his tears were mixed with the rain, his face seemed to be full of tears, and he was half soaked from crying, he begged, "Sister, I beg you! Don't leave me." β
However, Chen Yi just turned back painfully and said the sentence that she should have said a long time ago, "I'm sorry, Chi Nuo, I don't love you." β
Hearing this, Chi Nuo's fingers seemed to be suddenly cut off, and he let go of her in an instant.
In the end, he stood stupidly in place, watching Chen Yi and Bai Qi leave hand in hand, only his parents rushed over and hugged him distressedly.
After returning to his car with Bai Qi, Chen Yi looked at him dumbfounded, unable to believe what she had just done, as if she had just destroyed a world that she had built with great difficulty, and now suddenly there was nowhere to go, she asked blankly, "What will you do in the future?"
"Let me kiss it first. Bai Qi reached out and grabbed the back of her head and pressed it against himself.
The two listened to the pouring rain outside the car window, but as if they were sinking to the bottom of the sea at the same time, they took in each other's oxygen, and kissed each other as if they could only live by constantly exchanging breaths.
Bai Qi hugged her, gasping for breath, and pressed his face against her neck, worried that she would see the faint flickering tears in his eyes, and finally said in a crying voice, "I miss you so much." β
