Chapter 301: Looking Forward to the Rainbow
The heavy rain washed away the dullness and heat of the summer day, washing away the hustle and bustle. Clouds of mist rose one after another in the pouring rain, and S City performed the sonata of the city in the mist and rain.
Sitting in the car, in the monotonous and boring sound of the windshield wipers, Ning Feiyang struggled to identify the faintly visible scene in the rain and fog.
It wasn't until the words on an erected plaque in front of the door of the building on the steps not far from the parking lot were slowly seen that Ning Feiyang leaned back on the backrest and closed his eyes.
The vague words "Marriage Registration Office of the Civil Affairs Bureau of District H" have a piercing clarity in my mind at the moment.
The rain was beating the car body violently, and it was also beating Ning Feiyang's heart violently.
Ning Feiyang laboriously took out his mobile phone, and he laboriously dialed the number.
"Have you arrived?" Xiao Zhuying's quiet voice came from the other end of the phone.
Ning Feiyang licked his lips. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"It's raining so hard now that I haven't moved yet. Don't rush over, wait for the rain to light up. Do not get drenched. Ning Feiyang spit out his advice with difficulty.
"Okay. Don't worry. We'll see you later. Xiao Zhuying hurriedly hung up the phone in an indifferent tone.
Ning Feiyang let out a long breath, he lazily closed his eyes again, lazily immersed in the monotonous noise of the wipers. Soak up the sound of the pounding rain.
Su Qing stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a long time, the hazy world outside was a mess, the rain was wrapped in mist and whipped the glass happily, and the sound of the pounding rain seemed to be the only sound in the world at this moment.
Turning around in a trance, Su Qing walked towards the door of the office, she hesitated in front of the door, and finally opened the door.
"Mr. Su is early." The busy office staff bowed respectfully and hurriedly walked past Su Qing.
Su Qing stood in front of the assistant's office, and she observed everything inside.
Ning Yu was busy with the affairs of the shareholders' meeting, communicating briefly with the people who came in for a while, and writing at the desk for a while.
Su Qing watched Ning Yu's every move with great attention. Admire every moment of the young man's serious work.
Ning Yu finally turned his head sideways. His brow furrowed slightly.
Su Qing quickly sobered up, she squeezed out a smile in embarrassment, and turned around awkwardly. Hurriedly ran away and fled back to his office.
It wasn't until the door was closed that Su Qing leaned on the door and stroked her chest.
Su Qing, who was relaxed, finally took care of the young man's hurried glance and frowning expression.
Su Qing in the aftertaste also frowned, she seemed to be imitating the boy's movements, and she also seemed to be entangled.
The sound of the rain thinned out, and Ning Feiyang woke up from his false sleep. The view from the outside of the car became clearer, and the sound outside was getting louder.
I looked at the watch on my wrist, and the time was already pointing to ten o'clock.
Looking up, Ning Feiyang's heart tightened again. The dazzling words leaped into his eyes in a clearer and clearer line of sight.
Ning Feiyang sighed lightly, he made up his mind.
Ning Feiyang, who got out of the car, stumbled suddenly, and he had to lean on the door to adjust his body and adjust his mood.
Letting the rain hit him, Ning Feiyang slowly paced towards the steps, slowly approaching the place that made him feel strange.
When Xiao Zhuying parked the car in the parking lot, she was also adjusting her emotions in the car, until she decided to get out of the car, she still focused on checking her appearance in the rearview mirror of the car.
Xiao Zhuying, who had just walked up the steps, saw a familiar figure waiting at the door. The figure was hovering with its head down.
"I don't know how to use an umbrella. Beware of colds. Xiao Zhuying put away the umbrella, and she stopped in front of the door.
"Ahh There you are. Why so early? Ning Feiyang raised his eyes, his face was complicated.
"It's half past ten. If it's too late, we'll have to wait until the afternoon to complete the formalities. Are there a lot of people? Xiao Zhuying looked inside.
"It's raining today and there aren't many people. Alas! The weather is bad today, I really shouldn't let you come over in such weather, we can change the day. Ning Feiyang messily organized his words.
Xiao Zhuying looked at the person in front of her, and her eyes were becoming more and more complicated.
Ning Feiyang dodged the other party's gaze. He panicked.
"Now that it's decided, let's do it as soon as possible. I've got everything I need to bring, let's go inside. Xiao Zhuying finally stopped making the other party sad, and she took the initiative to take responsibility.
grabbed his wife's hand, and Ning Feiyang grabbed his wife's steps.
"Wait. I...... I want to breathe outside again. Would you like to stay with me? Ning Feiyang's voice was weak and flickering.
Xiao Zhuying's tense body quickly collapsed, she sighed softly, and she stopped any movement without making a sound.
"Takekage, I'm really a failure, am I? To walk in here at such an age, and to cause you to follow me to suffer such humiliation. I really want to find a crack in the ground and never come out again. I'm really a coward. Ning Feiyang lowered his head, his tone full of frustration and self-blame.
"Does it still make sense to say this?" Xiao Zhuying next to him spoke leisurely. There was more complexity in his tone at the moment.
"Yes. I've never been afraid to face myself, to face my true self. Bamboo Shadow, now facing this rain, facing this place that should not have come. I'm going to say it. I...... I'm a hypocrite. I'm just an irresponsible man. No, I'm not a man. I've wronged you. I let my loved ones follow me to shame. I am an incompetent husband and I am an incompetent father. I'm a coward. I dare not ask for your forgiveness, and I am beginning to dislike myself. Takekage, don't belittle yourself for my actions today, you don't have anything to blame. Don't lose your pride because of me, you are our pride. You have to keep that in mind. Leave me as a coward, you must have self-respect and self-love, and you must be happy in pride. You have to know that you have nothing to lose, all you have to lose is hypocrisy and deception that bring you shame. Takekage, am I right? Can you live up to my expectations? Ning Feiyang muttered to himself, and he gradually turned to the woman beside him.
Xiao Zhuying stared at her husband with a complicated expression, a wry smile gradually blooming on her face.
"You. I know what you're going to say. But don't forget, I made my choice more than 20 years ago, and since I did, what else could I do? If you want to pay the debt, I will have to bear it with you. We are always one, do you think I can be an individual? If there were no children, I would be able to tell you apart from each other. But...... Alas! Saying that now only makes me more miserable. It is said that husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, but the person who says such things is an irresponsible person. We are no longer a couple who are emotionally bonded, we are relatives. It's a relative with children. Feiyang, don't be sad anymore, no matter what, we are relatives, I will take care of myself, I hope you will also get her forgiveness as soon as possible. And you have to promise me not to fall. Be a proud father to your children. Xiao Zhuying poured out his grievances word by word, his resoluteness, his entanglement, and his complexity.
Ning Feiyang stretched out his hand and held his wife's hand, and he gradually gained strength.
"Thank you, Takekage. Thank you for giving me such encouragement at this time. I don't know if I made the right decision. But, I know that I was lucky to have met you. It's an honor to be your husband. Stay with me for a while, and watch the rain with me. It may have been a timely rain, but it came at the right time, and it gave me something to look forward to. Ning Feiyang cast his eyes into the rain and into the mist.
Xiao Zhuying did not break free of the hand that was being held, she obeyed her husband's gradually powerful grasp, and obeyed her husband's expectant tone. She didn't want to struggle in this moment.
She also cast her eyes on the rain and fog in the sky, and cast her eyes on the haze in the smoke and rain. She is willing to experience her husband's nostalgia and reluctance at the moment. She didn't want to go against her husband's sudden surge of expectations.
Su Qing returned to the floor-to-ceiling window, her eyes recast to the sky outside the window, she was admiring, but she was wandering.
The faces of all beings in the rain and mist were reflected in her eyes, and her eyes were flickering and changing.
Ning Feiyang, who was sitting in the hall, kept holding his wife's hand, and Xiao Zhuying let her husband grab her hand without saying a word.
By this time, she had put aside months of sorrow, hesitation, dissatisfaction, and resentment. At this moment, I have a fullness and a touch of sweetness.
The husband clenched his hand tightly, giving him a steadiness that he had never felt before. The steadfastness that has never been seen in the ordinary life of the past twenty years has paid off in the strength that the husband is holding tightly at this moment.
Until the receptionist called out the numbers of the two people. Until Ning Feiyang had a stirring reaction. Xiao Zhuying has always been immersed in this strange mood that only exists in girlhood.
"Did you call us?" Ning Feiyang looked at his wife after a sudden start.
Xiao Zhuying met his gaze blankly. She didn't seem to react.
"Shall we go in?" Ning Feiyang softly asked for his wife's opinion.
Xiao Zhuying just stared at her husband, she didn't say anything.
Ning Feiyang straightened his body, he pulled his wife to stand up, Xiao Zhuying followed her husband distractedly, she seemed to be just obedient at the moment.
"Have you thought about it? We still hope that you will seriously consider that family is the most important thing for middle-aged people. It doesn't seem necessary for you to come this far. The young staff member sitting behind his desk made a final effort on the procedure.
The young man's tone was weak, he seemed to be tired of such things, and he also seemed to pour out his disdain.
Ning Feiyang looked at his wife, whose eyes were full of haze.
"We've decided. You can handle it for us. After a dull wait, Xiao Zhuying replied.
Ning Feiyang nodded at the young clerk, who was still holding his wife's hand.
The young clerk shook his head slightly, and he smiled wryly as he picked up the two agreements.
"Sign it. Now that you've decided, I won't say anything. Now the policy is very relaxed, and you can remarry when you change your mind. Now such things are commonplace. The clerk pretended to be relaxed and poured out his disdain.
This time it was Ning Feiyang's turn and smiled bitterly. He finally let go of his wife's hand.
At the moment of signing, Ning Feiyang glanced at his wife seriously, and he met the gaze of his wife looking at him at that moment.
His heart tightened for a moment, and he saw the resentment in his wife's eyes again.
Following his wife's pen, Ning Feiyang mechanically completed his heavy task.
The clerk began to pick up two documents to fill in, and then put one of them on the stamping machine.
In the silence of the room, a mobile phone message sounded.
Ning Feiyang quickly turned on his phone, and he read it carefully.
Xiao Zhuying glanced at her husband with disgust, and she refocused on the clerk's every move.
"Wait." Ning Feiyang and the others suddenly raised their voices. He jerked to his feet and pressed the clerk's hand.
The clerk looked up at the man who had pounced on him, stunned.
Xiao Zhuying also looked at her husband in a daze.
"We're not doing it. Thank you. You've lost your precious time. Bamboo Shadow, let's go. Ning Feiyang almost snatched all the written documents, and almost snatched the stunned wife beside him.
Staggered and followed her husband to the hall outside. Xiao Zhuying finally had a chance to hold on to her husband.
"What's the matter with you? Where are we going? Xiao Zhuying dragged her husband's happiness and vented her confusion.
"Come out with me." Ning Feiyang continued to take his wife's hand roughly, and continued to rush through the hall and rush out the door.
The rain had stopped, and there were only sporadic drops. The outside is refreshing and refreshing.
"Takekage, the rain has stopped. It's fresh air. Ning Feiyang, who rushed to the door in one breath, let go of his wife's hand, he opened his arms and breathed heavily, he released his excitement loudly.
Xiao Zhuying also breathed deeply in the freshness after the bath, and she was also releasing her tension and depression.
"Flying. What are we doing? Why did you suddenly change your mind? What are we going to do? Xiao Zhuying, who was relaxed, had the urge to ask.
"We're going to be together, and we're not going to be apart for the rest of our lives." You soar and shout.
"You...... Whisper. Xiao Zhuying felt shy, and also felt sudden happiness.
"Haha. It's okay, I've finally waited for it. Bamboo shadow, you see. Ning Feiyang smiled and handed over the phone.
Xiao Zhuying took the phone with understanding.
"If you still want to ask for forgiveness from a daughter, if you still want to be respected, please don't do any further harm to your loved ones. I don't allow you to abandon yourself, it's an escape, it's the greatest harm to your loved ones. I can't promise that I'll forgive you, but please don't add to my insecurity and self-blame. Give me some time, and give us some time. Tell Aunt Xiao that I want her to be happy. Su Qing. "The information on the phone screen is very clear in the light that has just come on.
Xiao Zhuying paused. Her brain went blank and quickly filled.
"Bamboo Shadow, look. Rainbow. I finally got there. Ning Feiyang's hand reached over and grabbed her hand fiercely.
Xiao Zhuying quickly woke up from her ignorance, and she raised her eyes.
A full, curved rainbow leaped into the mist and hung horizontally in the sky.
Xiao Zhuying's heart jumped wildly, and what was accompanied by the wild beating was the comfort after sweeping away the haze.
Relaxation overflows from every sweat pore.
