Chapter 70: Xia Lin's sorrow
The wedding banquet was set in the banquet hall of the hotel where they stayed, and the chef was the Michelin chef who Gu Shen invited to Lingang before, and the dishes were of course Ye Qian's favorites.
However, there is also a simple ceremony to change the mouth of the tea before the official opening of the banquet.
Ye Qian put on a bright red skirt and a hand-embroidered pattern of nine dragons and nine phoenixes, which means for a long time. Gu Shen also changed into a traditional horse coat worn by men with dragon and phoenix coats, which also had the same pattern of dragon and phoenix auspiciousness.
The elders of the two parties are on the sofa seats in the small living room.
The red Wufu kneeling mat, the double happiness tea set, and the tea bowl is a pair of unpeeled lotus seeds, representing the Liansheng Guizi and a pair of red dates, representing the fortune of the head, in pairs.
A kowtow to thank your parents for their nurturing grace;
Two kowtows, wishing parents a long and healthy life;
Three kowtows, tea to parents and change their words.
According to the wedding process, under the auspices of the host, tea was offered to Ye Zixuan and Gu Shen's parents.
This was the first time Ye Qian met Gu Shen's father, Gu Yunting, he was in his early fifties, with facial features similar to Gu Shen, with a solemn face, and the majesty of a person in power.
"Dad, drink tea. Ye Qian offered fragrant tea with both hands.
Gu Yunting took the teacup and took a sip, put it aside, handed the red envelope that had been prepared a long time ago to Ye Qian, and looked at Ye Qian with sharp eyes.
This daughter-in-law can't say whether he likes it or not, and it doesn't matter if he likes it or not, but his poor background is not helpful to the Gu family's business, and he is destined to dislike it.
"The Gu family is also a family with a head and face in Kyoto, since you are married, you should always consider the Gu family everywhere, know the general situation, and know how to advance and retreat. I heard Gu Shen's mother say, this little stingy, not a little grand wedding is your idea?"
Gu Shen's eyes turned cold all of a sudden, his face was dark, and he was about to leave after pulling Ye Qian.
Ye Qian knew that Gu Shen's relationship with her father was not good, and now she probably knew why, but she couldn't leave so willfully.
Today's wedding is so romantic and perfect, it is the dream-wedding in her heart, Gu Shen silently realized it for her one by one, and even did it more perfect than she imagined, he did so much for her, and now she can stand this little grievance.
She patted Gu Shen's hand and signaled him not to worry.
Zhan Yan smiled and said: "What my father taught me is that my daughter-in-law must remember it." ”
Qiao Min also immediately came out to play the round, "Look at what you have to say, you can't wait for the children to get up." Okay! Gu Shen quickly helped your daughter-in-law up. ”
Gu Yunting was quite satisfied with Ye Qian's attitude, at least he had all his face, and he said an expressionless "um".
Gu Shen helped Ye Qian up as early as Qiao Min spoke.
The host was very experienced in mobilizing the atmosphere, and this little turmoil was instantly replaced by a festive and cheerful atmosphere.
In the newlywed dressing room, Ye Qian changed into a rose-red toasting dress, the red skirt set off her milky white skin, and the whole person was so white that she was glowing.
Mo Xiaobei and Anya came over after changing their clothes, and when they were applying makeup, they were adjusting their makeup for Ye Qian, and their red lips matched the color of the dress just right, reflecting her good complexion.
Thinking of Gu Yunting's attitude just now, Anya was a little worried about Ye Qian, "Xiao Qian, are you okay?"
Mo Xiaobei was even more indignant, and rolled up his sleeves that didn't exist, "If he says anything bad for a while, I'm not welcome!"
Ye Qian didn't pay too much attention to it, she was already happy enough today, and she didn't have the extra heart to care about such a trivial matter.
She smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry about me, I won't care about what he says, just treat it as a social customer! Keep smiling, let him say it, anyway, in the end, I will live with Gu Shen." ”
Anya still said a little uneasily: "But after all, he is your father-in-law, Gu Shen's father." ”
"It doesn't matter, anyway, the other person is in Kyoto, and he can't be so far from Lingang, Gu Shen and I have known each other for so long, and today is the first time I have met him. I don't think there will be many opportunities for everyone to meet in the future, and besides, Gu Shen is not a person who will be affected by his parents. ”
Mo Xiaobei put his arm around Anya's neck with one hand, "Oh, you don't want to be a mother-in-law, don't you look at Xiaoqian as the kind of person who will suffer?
Saying that, she put her other hand around Ye Qian, "Don't worry, no matter what, my sister supports you, who dares to bully you, see if I can't beat him." ”
Ye Qian smiled and pushed her, "Can you stop being so violent!"
Gu Shen also changed into a black dress and came over to pick up Ye Qian to toast in the banquet hall, and He Fan and Qin Mo followed behind in black suits.
Although the three men have very different styles, they are all equally outstanding, even the slender and tall figures are the same, standing at the door of the dressing room like a beautiful picture.
There were not many people invited to the wedding banquet, and the relatives and friends of the two families only set up four tables in total.
Ye Qian's amount of alcohol was okay, and he was facing relatives and friends who were familiar with each other, so he really picked up the liquor and toasted with them. The white water prepared by Mo Xiaobei in advance was not used, and he felt that the role of the bridesmaids was not played well, but the small red leather bag that Anya was carrying was full of red envelopes.
Turning to the last table, Ye Qian's cheeks were already dyed with two red clouds, Gu Shen held her waist and asked in a low voice: "It's okay for you, the next table is your own friends, if you can't drink it, you won't drink it." ”
Mo Xiaobei thought that he could finally play a role, and immediately shook the wine bottle that had been replaced with white water, "Drink this and drink this, I have been prepared." ”
Ye Qian was still a little confident in her own amount of alcohol, and she drank a glass of milk as a base before the banquet, so she shook her head and said, "No need, I can do it." ”
Xia Lin sat at the last table and watched Ye Qian and Gu Shen come hand in hand, the men were gentle and firm, the women were satisfied and at ease, occasionally looking at each other, as if they had the whole world at a glance.
A bitter smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Most of this table were Gu Shen's friends, and Gu Shen took Ye Qian to introduce her one by one.
When he arrived at Xia Lin, he smiled and said, "Officially introduce to you, this guy is the third of our four brothers, you don't have to be polite to him in the future." ”
Xia Lin, "......"
When was it polite?
"Xia Lin, don't want to respect your sister-in-law!"
Xia Lin pulled his lower lip and raised his wine glass, "You two lied to me for so long, shouldn't you punish yourself with two glasses?"
Qin Mo listened and wondered, and squeezed over to ask, "How did you lie to you, what did you deceive?" Say it quickly, let my brother be happy." ”
Xia Lin, "......"
Careless dating, careless dating!
"It's nothing, the first time this guy saw your sister-in-law, he asked her to eat in front of me, and I taught him a little lesson. ”
Gu Shen was a little unceremonious, and poured salt on Xia Lin's wound.
Qin Mo looked at Xia Lin with a surprised look of "you are still alive". Brother, I respect you as a man.
Xia Lin himself felt very depressed, if he introduced Gu Shen clearly when he met him for the first time, could there be so many things?
Blame him, why did he get carried away by the beauty at that time? I don't think about it, what kind of person Gu Shen is, the advertising of a magazine, he personally grabbed it in his hand and didn't let it go for so long, it was all traceable!
He should have seen it if he had used his brain! He was so stupid! He was so stupid!
But feelings are like water spilled out, and you can't get it back if you pay for it.
Ye Qian picked up the wine glass first, "Xia Lin, I respect you." We'll all be friends from now on!"
"Didn't it before?" Xia Lin blurted out.
A cold look shot at him.
Ye Qian smiled and said: "It used to be, but in the future, the scope will be expanded, and I will introduce you to my two good friends, Mo Xiaobei and Anya." Today's two bridesmaids are also my best friends. ”
Xia Lin nodded and said hello to the two, Mo Xiaobei had already seen it in the video, and he was a pair with Boss He, so he couldn't run. As for the other one, it depends on the meaning that everyone is deliberately matching with Qin Mo!
In order to punish him, he didn't even leave the best man position he had promised, and let him work overtime, black-hearted guy!
Xia Lin had a kind of sadness of being excluded.
Why is it always me who gets hurt, and what am I doing wrong?
……
Late at night, Anya wanders alone on the beach, and the sea makes her extremely calm.
Tomorrow afternoon she will end her trip and take a flight back, and she should think carefully about her next path.
In the past two years, she has received offers from several universities, but she has been giving up because of the dialect, and now she can seriously consider it.
She walked forward with her head down, the rustling of footsteps behind her.
Anya was shocked, and when she looked up, she found that she was already a long way from the hotel.
The footsteps gradually approached, Anya couldn't help but speed up her pace, gradually changing from fast walking to running, and lost one of her shoes in a hurry, she didn't dare to turn back to pick it up, and ran forward vigorously.
"Hey, don't run. The man's deep voice sounded behind him.
Fear made her run faster.
"Oops!"
Her toes stepped on the shards of shells in the sand, and there was a tingling pain, and she fell limply on the sand.
"They all told you not to run, did you get hurt?"
A large hand grabbed her arm and held her.
Follow a dark shadow crouched in front of her, examining her wounds.
Her foot was punctured by a sharp crushed shell, and blood flowed out, staining a small patch of white sand that looked shocking even at night.
The man held her ankles, stroked the sand from her feet, and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to help her bandage the wound briefly.
His mouth was broken, "It hurts, right? I told you not to run, don't run, why do you say you are so careless?"
"Why are you?" Anya finally saw that the person in front of her was Qin Mo by the moonlight, "You have been following me?"
"Who's following you, I came out for a walk just to see you. I wanted to come over and say hello, but suddenly you ran up. ”
Qin Mocai didn't want to admit that he was about to die of fright when he saw her on the beach at night, could he not follow.
Anyar Ergen was feverish, and said timidly: "I run and run, exercise. ”
"The shoes are all gone, and I don't know it. Qin Mo half-squatted on the beach and helped Anya put her shoes back on, "Next time you run, you find a suitable pair of sneakers, this kind of beach shoes will not work." ”
Anya's ears were hot, and she subconsciously retracted her feet, "I know." ”
Qin Mo stood up and held her arm, "Can you still walk by yourself?"
"It should be fine. ”
Anya tried to take two steps, but her toes just hit the ground, and a piercing pain made her gasp with a "hiss".
"Oops, come up, I'll carry you!" Qin Mo half-squatted and arched his body, asking Anya to jump on his back.
"No, I can. ”
Anya blushed and refused, spread her arms to keep her balance, and jumped forward on one leg.
However, she overlooked the fact that the sand was not as soft as the flat ground, soft and fine, and so soft that it was easy to fall.
After jumping a few steps, Anya stumbled, and her body rushed to the ground.
Qin Mo stretched out his hand to hold her by the waist, gently pulled her into his arms, and then lifted her into the air.
The standard princess hug, Anya's heart beat uncontrollably, and her little face was red and hot.
Fang Yan belongs to the weak scholar type, and the two have never had such a hug after ten years of dating.
Through the light fabric, Anya can clearly feel the warm temperature of his body, the broad and thick chest muscles, and an inexplicable sense of security that makes people can't help but want to get closer.
Qin Mo's arms were very strong, even if he was holding Anya, his steps were also steady, and his breath was not chaotic at all.
He only felt that the woman in front of him was too petite and delicate, so petite that people couldn't help but want to protect her.
After walking for a while, they were already close to the confines of the hotel, and the lights of the hotel lit up all around.
Feeling the light, Anya grabbed his shirt with her fingertips, subconsciously buried her in his chest, and whispered shyly and timidly: "You let me down, I can walk by myself." ”
Looking down at the woman in his arms shrunk like a kitten, Qin Mo hooked his lips and smiled: "Anyway, you've been holding it for so long, what are you pretentious?"
"You'll be seen. Hurry up and let me down. ”
"See it, see it, you're injured, I'll carry you back, basic gentlemanly demeanor, who can say anything?"
Anya is going to die in a hurry, Mo Xiaobei has made fun of her and Qin Mo in private in the past two days, if she sees it, then she will not be laughed at to death.
"You don't understand, let me go. ”
Qin Mo had already stepped up the steps of the hotel's front hall, "Okay, it's not bad for these few steps, if you don't move, no one will pay attention to us at all." ”
Anya had no choice but to bury her head in Qin Mo's arms, "That's okay, you go faster." ”
Qin Mo looked at the little woman who was hiding her ears and stealing the bell in her arms, her cheeks were crimson, and her shy appearance was heartwarming.
When he arrived at the door of the room, Qin Mo put down Anya, naturally took out his room card and swiped it on the door, and carried the person into the room again.
Anya sat on the sofa and came back to her senses and asked, "Why do you have the room key for my room?"
Qin Mo didn't want to tell her that this hotel was Qin's property, and the room card in his hand was a universal room card, which could open any door.
He looked down at the room card in his hand and said with a smile: "Yes, it's my room card, why did you open your door?" I'll have to talk to the hotel front desk about this later, it's too unsafe. ”
Anya thought it was true, nodded and said, "Then you can react with them in a while and ask them to change your room card!"
Qin Mo put the room card back in his pocket, hooked his lips and smiled: "Don't worry, even if I don't change it, I won't touch it in the middle of the night." ”
Anya had never been teased like this before, and the red cloud that had just faded crept up again, she lowered her eyes, bit her lip, and didn't make a sound.
Qin Mo had never seen such a girl who couldn't help but flirt and blushed at every turn, her heart was as numb as if she was being scratched by a kitten's claws.
He has seen too many bold women with all kinds of amorous feelings, and of course he has seen many who pretend to be shy and indulge.
But Anya is not, she is really at a loss.
Really, at this age, she is as innocent as a little girl, no wonder she will be deceived by a man.
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but raise her hand and rub her hair, "Wait for me to get the medicine kit." ”
Qin Mo quickly found a spare medical kit in the cabinet in the bathroom, sat on the carpet, and naturally picked up Anya's injured foot.
Anya shrank back, "Dirty, I'll do it myself!"
"Don't move. Qin Mo held her ankle and gently opened the bandaged handkerchief, "One person at a time, let's get together." ”
Anya knew he was talking about the time he injured his arm, but how could it be the same?
Qin Mo said that he had already taken out hydrogen peroxide and began to help her clean the wound, the blood stains were wiped clean, and he saw that the wound was only half a centimeter long, but it was a little deep, so there was a lot of blood just now, and it stopped at this moment.
He let out a long breath, carefully cleaned the wound several times with a cotton swab dipped in disinfectant, and then took out a band-aid to cover the wound and wrap it around.
His movements were very light, for fear of hurting her, which made Anya feel some oxygen in her toes, and subconsciously bent downward.
Her feet were delicate and white, as smooth as milk, and her toes were white and tender without any nail polish, and their natural pink and white color was like five round beans.
Qin Mo's eyes deepened, and his fingers couldn't help but rub.
As if she had been electrocuted, Anya shivered slightly, and subconsciously retracted her feet.
Qin Mo came back to his senses, his eyes flashed, and he realized that he was abrupt, so he quickly withdrew his fingers and let her go.
Anya's brain was completely short-circuited, her little face was flushed, her eyes were watery, and her expression was a little trance.
Qin Mo took a deep breath, his chest rose and fell, his heart was beating hard, and he was still a little unsatisfied.
Just a light touch, it made him throb unspeakably.
He must have not touched a woman in a long time!
It felt like I was back in my teens all of a sudden, and when I was young, I had the urge to love someone well.
How many years has he not felt this way?
Love?
Qin Mo shook his head secretly, this thing was too advanced and too fragile, and it was not suitable for him.
……
After the wedding, everyone's lives returned to their former peace.
On this day, Ye Qian and Xia Lin decided on the theme of the new issue of advertising, and the time was close to noon.
"Let's eat together, there is a new private dish on East Street, and it tastes good. Xia Lin grabbed his trouser pocket with one hand and invited casually.
Ye Qian looked at his afternoon itinerary and accepted it generously.
The private restaurant is not far from the magazine office, and it takes less than half an hour to drive, Xia Lin is obviously not the first time to come, and the boss deliberately left a place in the box inside.
Ye Qian handed him the menu, "Since you are an old customer, let you decide." ”
It was not the first time or two for the two of them to eat together, Xia Lin had some understanding of Ye Qian's taste, and quickly ordered a few signature dishes according to her preferences.
Waiting for the time to serve, Xia Lin poured tea for Ye Qian, held the teacup, and looked at her fixedly, his eyes were faint and deep, as if he was calm about something.
Ye Qian didn't look up, but he could feel his burning gaze, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Xia Lin pursed his lips lightly, and smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "I used to always think that even if you get married, I always have hope, what if in a few years, that person treats you badly and your relationship has problems? But you just married my best friend." ”
There was no room for him to think about it at all.
Even if they really separated one day, with his friendship with Gu Shen, it would be impossible for him to turn his head to chase Ye Qian, and it would be impossible for Ye Qian to accept him.
Ye Qian didn't expect Xia Lin to suddenly talk about this, she thought that as early as when she told him that she was married, the two of them had already talked about it.
And she always felt that Xia Lin's so-called pursuit of her was mostly a joke, otherwise she would not cooperate with Gu Shen, and waited until the wedding to reveal her relationship with Gu Shen.
"Xia Lin, I've always treated you as a friend. ”
If it was even more hurtful, Ye Qian couldn't say anything, and he made a stand immediately.
She has always had only friendship with him, no matter who she marries, whether she marries or not, she will not change.
"I know. Xia Lin turned his head to look out the window, not looking at anything, just looking for a landing spot for his sight
The air fell silent, and the atmosphere fell into a brief silence.
After a while, Xia Lin turned his eyes to look at her, "But I can still keep you in my heart, somewhere. ”
Ye Qian was silent, and there was a feeling of sullenness in his heart.
Xia Lin opened his mouth leisurely and continued: "Everyone has such a white moonlight in their hearts, such a cinnabar mole, no matter how many years have passed, there is always such a place in their hearts, to that person, I think I will be the same." ”
Ye Qian couldn't listen to it anymore, she didn't want to be the white moonlight that others couldn't ask for, especially as Mrs. Gu Shen, which felt so weird that she was very uncomfortable.
She interrupted, "Not everyone, at least not me. ”
Xia Lin pulled out a light smile helplessly, "Then you are lucky, but not everyone is as lucky as you." ”
"No, it's not about luck, it's about attitude. If you like it, you will pursue it, and if you can't get it, you will completely let it go. Don't you think that's the way to go?"
Xia Lin was silent, staring at her quietly, as if to refute her in a silent way.
Ye Qian took a deep breath, "Xia Lin, don't you think this is very unfair to your future wife?"
That woman would be willing to have her husband hiding another woman in her heart, even if it was just a small place.
Xia Lin smiled faintly and spread his hands, "If I get married, I will definitely be good to her, loyal to her, and will never cheat, isn't this enough?"
Don't you even have a spiritual pure land for yourself?
Ye Qian looked at him deeply, "At least I don't think so." I'm emotionally simple and domineering, either 100% or zero, doesn't accept the middle place, and doesn't allow bargaining. ”
Gu Shen is one hundred percent of hers, and Xia Lin will always be zero in love.
This is Ye Qian's attitude.
But Xia Lin obviously didn't think the same thing as her, and he asked, "Then what if it's Gu Shen?
Ye Qian suddenly realized something, she narrowed her eyes and looked at him, "Xia Lin, what do you want to say?"
The ghost blows the lamp
