Chapter 17 Lovers
This sentence was like a thunderbolt in my head, and I was stunned for a while, as if I had been pricked by a needle and couldn't say what it felt.
Looking at Li Zhenhao and Zhang Jiaqi standing on the rostrum with happy faces, at that moment I suddenly felt that they were indescribably tall, and I was unreachably far away from them.
"Jiaqi's health is not good, but this can't change my love for her, no matter how she is born, old, sick or dead, I will always love her and be by her side. I just want to say to my relatives and friends who may have liked Jiaqi that there is nothing wrong with handing over Jiaqi to me. I will do my best to love her and take care of her for the rest of my life. That's all I have to say, thank you. ”
At the moment when Li Zhenhao's words fell, the overwhelming applause sounded like thunder, and the deafening sound almost made people think that there was a big explosion in the restaurant.
Warm congratulations, applause, applause, and all kinds of support and blessings for Li Zhenhao and Zhang Jiaqi rose up.
The picture at that moment seemed to freeze frame.
It's like a dream.
Li Zhenhao, who was dressed in a black suit, and Zhang Jiaqi, who was wearing a white wedding dress, hugged each other in the next moment, and then kissed, colorful flowers and colors flew around the two of them, and the majestic wedding march also sounded.
My junior high school classmates were applauding them.
And Tang Mengyan also raised her hands beside me like a child, cheering and clapping her hands.
All the people are congratulating them, cheering for them, and blessings for them.
It was just me, standing in the crowd in a daze, silently thinking about the happiest couple in the world at this time.
At that moment, the world stood still, and so did time.
Only I felt my eyes sour.
My chest was so tight that I couldn't tell how uncomfortable it was.
It seemed that in the next moment, I would not be able to restrain myself and cry.
Because I finally realized one thing.
I lost.
I lost completely.
I lost to Lee Jeong-ho.
It's not because of the difference in status and identity, nor because of the difference in the posture of the partner, nor because of the comparison of money.
Instead, he lost in true love.
Li Zhenhao's love for Zhang Jiaqi is real. Even if Zhang Jiaqi is seriously ill, Li Zhenhao still does not give up and is willing to accompany her for life, and even Li Zhenhao still hides the illness of his parents Zhang Jiaqi, just to be with Zhang Jiaqi.
I was wrong at the beginning. Li Zhenhao can be with Zhang Jiaqi, not because of their background, but because of Li Zhenhao's infatuation.
Li Zhenhao can really give everything for Zhang Jiaqi. Zhang Jiaqi really should be with him. There is no one in the world who is more worthy than the two of them.
And me?
Even if I have a big company, even if I wear decent clothes, even if I have a celebrity girl pretending to be my girlfriend by my side. But what do I really have?
It was nothing more than satisfying my false vanity.
To say that I am decent, that is all self-deception.
In fact, at the end of the day, I'm still alone.
Nothing.
I'm just a bachelor.
At that moment, I suddenly wanted to laugh and cry.
But I still couldn't help it, just clapped my hands stupidly, forced a smile, and kept looking at the lips of Li Zhenhao and Zhang Jiaqi kissing separately, until the wedding march ended, until people sat down slowly, until Tang Mengyan patted my head and called my name, I didn't come back to my senses.
"Hey, what's wrong with you. Why didn't you make a sound?"
Tang Mengyan's hand shook in front of me, and I did sigh and didn't answer.
I glanced at Tang Mengyan and sat quietly in my seat drinking tea.
His eyes were still fixed on Li Zhenhao and Zhang Jiaqi walking around the restaurant.
Looking at the two of them talking sweetly and laughing with joy on their faces, my heart seemed to be led away by them.
I don't know how long later, even I was surprised that I actually calmed down.
After the indescribable blow, I felt an indescribable sense of relief.
Because the knot that has been wrapped around my heart for ten years has finally opened.
As early as ten years ago, today's result was doomed, Zhang Jiaqi She can't belong to me at all, and she can't be with me. She doesn't belong to anyone other than Lee Jeong-ho.
Only when she is with her beloved can she be happy.
And what about me? In the beginning, I was not a person in the world of the two of them, I was just a paranoiac, I should not have been so persistent in the first place, but I should have blessed them.
What should I be jealous of? Why should I be unhappy when the girl I liked was happy?
I smiled. But this time, it was a heartfelt laugh, without the slightest hint of self-deprecation and hypocrisy.
Zhang Jiaqi, you are so beautiful in bridal clothes, I wish you happiness.
That's what I just wanted to say to the girl I had a crush on at that moment.
Tang Mengyan was still noisy in my ear, asking me what was wrong and smirking all of a sudden, but I didn't answer her, but stood up.
"Eh, what are you doing? suddenly stood up without a sound and scared me!" Tang Mengyan was also stunned by my actions, and looked at me with wide eyes.
Listening to Tang Mengyan's pleasant voice, I lowered my head, looked at her with a wry smile, and replied:
"Yan Yan, thank you really for making me beautiful today, but ...... I decided to go for the bachelorette table anyway. ”
"Hey, what are you doing?!!" Seeing my actions, Tang Mengyan's face turned pale, and she hurriedly grabbed my arm, looked around, and pulled me to the corner to the side, and raised her head to look at me.
This Nizi looks quite thin, but her brute strength is surprisingly impressive.
Tang Mengyan looked at her eyebrows, stared at me incredulously, lowered her voice and asked me.
"Boss, what's wrong with you, you were fine just now. Why are you going to the bachelorette table all of a sudden?
I looked at Tang Mengyan, but my mood was fluctuating, and I didn't know how to explain it to her for a while.
"Hehe, it's not that I'm hit, I just figured it out, I don't want to play this play anymore. ”
"Have you figured it out?" Tang Mengyan looked around, trying to keep her voice as low as possible, Tongling's big eyes came to me tightly, and after looking me up and down for a while, she helped me sort out my tie with a surprising hatred, and comforted me, "Say it well, say it well." ”
I turned around and motioned to Tang Mengyan to look at the couple table behind me, pointed to the couples in front of the table who were either snuggling up, maybe smiling at each other, and said, "Yanyan, you see, those old classmates of mine sitting there are all in pairs. Maybe they really aren't as decent as me, and their girlfriends aren't as pretty as you. But they are a legitimate couple, and they all really have true feelings between men and women. So ......"
"So you're inferior, boss?"
"I don't have inferiority complex, but I suddenly feel that I love vanity too much and don't deserve to be at the couple's table. It's nothing to be single, but I have to pretend to be decent, which is ridiculous. ”
"Boss, what about me? What should I do? You asked me to pretend to be your girlfriend in the first place!"
Tang Mengyan frowned, but her face became extremely calm, and her clear eyes flashed with crystal light.
“…… I'm really sorry, Yanyan. ”
Listening to Tang Mengyan's words, I felt a little guilty, but I also felt a little indescribable.
"Yan Yan, actually...... Let me tell you the truth. In fact, the bride Zhang Jiaqi She was the girl I had a crush on in junior high school, and when I first came to you, I was just a little jealous that the girl I had a crush on became someone else's bride, so I wanted to find you to help me raise my eyebrows and compare Li Zhenhao. But now after seeing them so happily together, I don't know why, but I don't feel jealous at all, but happy for them. I think it's really hypocritical. You and I are not really a couple, I really don't have the right to sit at the couple's table and make others jealous and praise me, every time I listen to them bless me, I am a little disgusted with myself. ”
After listening to my words, Tang Mengyan's expression was beyond my expectations, but I didn't expect her to be so angry that her whole body trembled, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared at me angrily.
"Boss...... I'm telling you, you, you're so stupid and hopeless! Since we're not boyfriend and girlfriend, you can chase me and confess to me, boss! Why don't you even dare to chase me? Why don't you ask me if I'd like to be your girlfriend like other boys? Why don't you learn from them to send me flowers, invite me to the movies, sing for me on the phone, and confess to me? Even once, why don't you even try such a simple thing?! Now when I see someone else have a girlfriend, I start to envy others, but I don't catch the person in front of me! Why are you so useless! No wonder you are separated from your ex-girlfriend!"
I don't know if I've endured it for a long time, Tang Mengyan's words were almost spit out in one go, not loud, but every sentence hit my chest like a hammer, making me feel like I was being electrocuted.
Tang Mengyan's words gave me a great impact.
Indeed, all the time. Am I not all like that? I rarely dare to really take a step out of my own emotionally, and I always regret it after I have lost it. Maybe that's why Ma Yike left me.
Isn't it?
"Yan Yan, that's not what I meant...... I've always seen you as a sister, and I really don't have any other thoughts about you...... Well, if I really want to say it, I do like you, I like you to be cheerful and smart, but I really don't want to force you to be my girlfriend. You have your life, and I will not interfere with you. Facing Tang Mengyan, I said this sentence with difficulty.
Ask yourself, do I like Tang Mengyan?
That, of course, is nonsense.
Let's not talk about Tang Mengyan's likable personality, just because of her outstanding appearance, according to my character, there is no reason not to like it.
But why didn't I confess to her and pursue her?
The reasons are very complicated.
One is because of the consideration of Jiaqi at home. The other is that Tang Mengyan and I have been together for a long time, and I feel that I have gradually cultivated a feeling similar to that between brothers and sisters rather than the kind of love between boyfriends and girlfriends. In the end, because I have lost so many people in my life, I don't dare to lose more important people. I don't want to. For me, it's best to keep a quiet life alone. I don't want to pursue anything else.
After so many years of experience, I am tired and scared.
"Then you still have to sit at the bachelorette table, make yourself ugly, and make me ugly, right? Okay, then you can go sit at the bachelorette table, big deal, I'll sit with you!"
