At the beginning of the lanterns, there are many joys and sorrows staged under the lights of thousands of homes, gathering and scattering each other. In the dark of night, it holds people's laughter, tears, excitement and anger. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, not for tomorrow's high-profile wedding, but because after tonight, we will completely abandon and hide the emotions of the past. So they are all watching time pass by little by little in their own way, helpless and powerless.

"Mom, why hasn't Uncle Ruichen come to see Yanyu for a long time?" As soon as she finished speaking, Yanyu yawned again, obviously she was too sleepy to open her eyes, but she still took Qian'er's hand and asked persistently. "Uncle promised to accompany Yanyu to paint!"

"Maybe, maybe Ruichen, Uncle Ruichen is too busy with work." Yanyu finally asked about Ruichen, and Qian'er was flustered, so she could only hold her hands tightly and force her composure.

"I really hope that Uncle Ruichen will come to accompany Yanyu soon." Yanyu was a little disappointed, and in the blink of an eye, she had some expectations. "Mom, I'll go to bed quickly, can time pass faster, so that Uncle Ruichen can come to see Yanyu earlier."

Yanyu looked at her mother, but only saw Qian'er tilting her head to the side. "Mom?" Yanyu was a little worried, "Is Mom tired?" ”

Feeling Yanyu shaking her arm, Qian'er quickly put away her emotions with a smile on her face. "Mom isn't tired, she's just worried that someone will be in bed again tomorrow." Qian'er covered Yanyu with a summer quilt as she spoke, and gently stroked Yanyu's hair.

Yanyu smiled and quickly closed her eyes in embarrassment. "Good night, Mom."

"Good night." Qian'er gave Yanyu a goodnight kiss, then turned off the bedside light and quietly walked out of the room.

The night was deep, and only the moonlight was faintly visible in the room. Qian'er sat on the ground and quietly looked out the window. Yanyu's words sounded again before she fell asleep, her words were innocent, but full of dependence on Ruichen.

"I, too, miss him." Qian'er leaned her head against the wall and whispered the words that pressed her heart. She has always learned to let go and learn to make a new beginning, but she has never learned to forget him or miss him.

"Mother Yanyu, that friend who came to your house before. These two nights have always been downstairs in our building, and I was almost caught by the new security guard. The enthusiastic neighbor aunt told Qian'er about the whole process vividly, but Qian'er just stayed where she was, as if she had heard everything and seemed to have heard nothing.

The neighbor's aunt's words flashed back to her mind, and Qian'er had been thinking about it tonight, would Ruichen be downstairs. But she didn't dare to verify it, she was afraid that as soon as she saw Ruichen, she would run to him desperately. Her determination is actually vulnerable, and it will collapse at a glance.

"Are you alright?" Qian'er looked out the window, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

The people downstairs who were enjoying the shade all returned home one after another, only Jiang Ruichen sat on the side and watched the lights upstairs turn on and go out, but he couldn't go in. His parents called him again to urge him to go home, and many of his friends were wishing him a happy marriage. Ruichen wanted to turn off the phone, but he was afraid of missing Qian'er's possible call. The neighbor's aunt must have told her about last night's misunderstanding. Looking at that window, Jiang Ruichen only felt that his heart was barren.

"I'm fine." Ruichen couldn't help but smile bitterly, Jiang Ruichen promised Xiang Qian'er that he would definitely do it. All he gave "man" to his parents, unconditionally to be an obedient son, to take all the responsibilities. But the "heart", he still can't control it.

"Are you alright?" Ruichen looked at the window and muttered softly, as if he saw someone behind the window.

Ling Ling, who finally returned home from the bachelorette party, was exhausted, and the enthusiasm of his friends was really about to melt him. She couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the various gifts her friends had given her. She put away the "kindness" of her friends one by one, and she really didn't dare to enjoy it. Turning to look at myself in the mirror and the wedding dress not far away, I really felt that I was going to be a bride tomorrow. Taking off the earrings and putting them back in the jewelry box, Ling Ling saw the carousel music box on one side.

"Beautiful and kind princess, you must live happily with the prince!"

That day, playgrounds, carousels, fantastical magic, an unforgettable gift of blessings. But what Ling Ling couldn't forget was the back of Brother Haoyang's departure, that knight who was as indomitable as the Middle Ages would be so lonely. Ling Ling looked so distressed that he even wanted to run over to be by his side, just like he had always been with him.

Suddenly, the U of "I LOVE YOU" posted on the wall fell, Ling Ling was startled, and her memories came to an abrupt end. Stunned for a moment, she walked over and re-pasted the U-word, looking at the bride and groom on the wall, she was in a trance and a little dazed.

Ruichen is indeed like a prince, polite and gentle as jade. When the economic crisis broke out, the company faced a crisis and his father fell ill, it was Ruichen who stepped forward and turned the tide; He also accompanies and enlightens himself when he is frustrated. His parents treated him as if they were their own. Everyone said that the two of them were a match made in heaven. Compared to the friends around him who were just a combination of interests, Ling Ling felt that he was already very lucky.

But is she a princess who is suitable for a prince? Ling Ling always felt that Ruichen was considerate, Ruichen was kind to him, like a brother, like a friend, but not very much like love. And will the two of them really be happy together? But looking at the expectations of both parents, as well as the eyeing of some people on the board of directors, Ling Ling felt that the union between the two of them really shouldn't only consider love.

It's just the lonely knight, the shadow that has been haunting his heart. Ling Ling shook his head, not daring or wanting to think about it anymore.

The moon was dark, and the whole city hid the noise of the day, and gradually returned to calm. Many of the shops on the street have closed, and only a few are still open.

"It's gone again!" Xu Haoyang poured wine into the cup, and nothing came out for a long time. He shook it vigorously, then took a closer look and couldn't help but smile. "Third, another bottle." As he spoke, he shook the bottle to a friend not far away.

Looking at the pile of wine bottles on Xu Haoyang's table, the third child stepped forward uneasily, "Brother Xu, don't drink it." I've already drunk quite a bit. "I've known Xu Haoyang for so long, it's the first time he's seen Xu Haoyang drink alone all night.

"Don't talk nonsense, get the wine." Haoyang's voice was a few degrees higher, "I can still drink, hurry, get the wine." ”

The third child looked at Haoyang's face flushed, and he had a big tongue when he spoke, and sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to persuade a few more words, someone pushed the door in, and the third child saw that it was Yi Chen and Song Qixuan, and greeted each other. Then he looked at Xu Haoyang and said softly, "I've been drinking all night, and I can't stop it." ”

Yi Chen stepped forward and looked at Xu Haoyang, who was lying on the table full of messes and still asking for wine, and felt very sad in his heart. She remembered that Haoyang had said that he disapproved of drinking the most, but when it was her turn, he was also drunk. It turns out that the chic relief that has been shown recently is all disguise. Can you really forget everything just when you're drunk?

Song Qixuan and the third child took a lot of effort to help Xu Haoyang to the car, and along the way, they heard that he either had to drink, or kept reading a person's name in his mouth. Yi Chen looked at Haoyang who was lying in the back seat, holding his arm on his forehead, he was so lonely when he had always been hearty and sunny, and his whole body was soaked in frustration and sadness.

After settling in Haoyang, Qi Xuan sent Yi Chen home, and seeing that she had been frowning, he had to comfort her and say, "This is already the case. If even you don't cheer up, what will they do? ”

"I just don't understand why people who love each other can't be together. Qian'er, Ruichen, Ling Ling, Brother Haoyang, all this is like a prank, playing tricks on everyone, but we can't do anything. As he spoke, Yi Chen's eyes filled with tears.

Qi Xuan hugged her gently. He was also sad for the friends around him, thinking that he would see the light of day, but who knew that he was powerless to resist the reality in the end. For people who love each other, the saddest thing is not to be forced to separate, but to choose to let go for the sake of the other person. Give up being with you, just for you not to bear too much unspeakable pain because of me.

"Qi Xuan, it turns out that it is true, falling in love is a matter of two people, but wanting to be together well is not only a matter of two people. I'm so sad, but I also know that my sadness is not worth a thousandth of their hearts. Empathy is deceiving, otherwise why would the parents who love them break them apart, obviously the parents will be more painful when the child suffers, isn't it? Yi Chen's tears soaked Qi Xuan's shoulders, and she really wanted to find out the answer, so that her friends would suffer a little less and less.

Listening to Yi Chen's words, Qi Xuan didn't know how to answer. Even though separation and union are the norm of many people's feelings now, who can really give up when facing the love in their hearts.

The moon in the sky was also obscured by the clouds, as if it had lost the courage to look at it. God has fulfilled countless couples, why did he embarrass them? Isn't love the perfect and all-consuming?
