After Jing Like left, Wu Dao lay on the bed and couldn't sleep. Thinking of the conversation with Jing Like just now, he suddenly realized that he still has a lot of missions in life, and although personal emotions are important, they are not the whole of life. It is a blessing to meet a strange woman like Si Baifang, and it is a blessing in life to meet confidants like Jing Like and Zhao Wu!

Wu Dao recalled all kinds of things he had experienced with Zhao Wu, Jing Like, Si Baifang, and Meng Yihong, and felt that his life in the past 30 years was actually very exciting, but he couldn't help but ask himself:

"Wu Dao, what will your life be like in the future? lost Si Baifang, Meng Yihong refused to accept you, and the two confidants Zhao Wu and Jing Like were far away, will your future be so colorful? ”

In the tossing and turning, Wu Dao fell asleep. In the dream, he and Si Baifang returned to Xiangshan. Si Baifang is still so beautiful and happy.

They climbed mountains, rowed boats, enjoyed flowers, worshipped in front of Liang Qichao's tomb together, and visited Cao Xueqin Memorial Hall together. He confessed to Si Baifang in front of the statue of Mr. Cao Xueqin, and Si Baifang gladly accepted and threw herself into his arms.

However, at this moment, Cao Xueqin's statue suddenly collapsed, and a faceless person stood up from the debris, claiming to be Si Baifang's husband Xu Jinfeng.

Wu Dao woke up from the dream, and then fell asleep intermittently several times, each time he would enter a new dream, the beginning was beautiful, but the ending was a different scene.

At five o'clock in the morning, Wu Dao couldn't sleep anymore. He got dressed and went to the courtyard to wash his face and brush his teeth. Thinking that he would be leaving in a moment, he went back into the house, folded the quilt, and cleaned the floor again.

After cleaning up, Wu Dao put the things he was carrying into his backpack, then left the house and locked the door. According to Jing Like, he put the key on the windowsill.

Wu Dao had breakfast at a roadside stall in Weixiu Garden. At this time, the time was just past six o'clock, and it was not yet time to go to Si Baifang's wedding. Wu Dao went out of Weixiu Garden and entered Yanyuan from the West Gate of Peking University.

The Yan Garden in the early morning is very quiet. Wu Dao walked along the familiar road step by step to Weiming Lake, looking at the calm lake, the Boya Tower and the mountain rocks on the shore, and remembered the scene of walking in the Yan Garden with Jing Like and Si Baifang five years ago, which was really a beautiful thing.

However, now that things are different, I am afraid that the three of them will no longer be the same as before. Thinking of this, Wu Dao's heart was very sad.

Coming to the place where the wandering poet Quicksand set up a stall to sell books, Wu Dao suddenly remembered that when he chatted with Jing Like yesterday, he forgot to ask about the situation of Quicksand, where is this wandering poet now? Maybe go somewhere else.

Although Yan Yuan is good, it is still too small for a wandering poet who measures the earth with his feet. The vast world outside is the home of quicksand.

Wu Dao is very envious of the life of quicksand, he comes and goes freely, he is at peace with what he encounters, and his life is unfettered, but he can't do that.

Coming to the Centennial Lecture Hall, Wu Dao remembered the scene when he watched the movie "Anna Karenina". At that time, he didn't know if he could be like Levine, and finally marry the girl he liked, but now the end has come, he is not Levin, and Si Baifang is not Kitty, they are destined to be together.

Every grass and tree in Yan Garden seems to be telling the past of Wu Dao and Si Baifang. Wu Dao stayed on campus for more than three hours, leaving there at nine o'clock, and then took the subway to the hotel where Si Baifang held the wedding.

Before leaving Peking University, Wu Dao sent a text message to Jing Like:

"Like, I have left Peking University, and the key to the room is on the windowsill. After attending Si Baifang's wedding banquet at noon, I will return to Fangzhou immediately. We'll see you when we have time. ”

"Wu Dao, don't be too sad, pay attention to safety on the road. We look forward to seeing you next time. Jing Like replied.

The hotel where Si Baifang held the wedding was far away from Beida Road, and the bus had to be reversed in the middle, and Wu Dao arrived there at half past ten.

Walking to the front of the hotel, Wu Dao saw that the inflatable door of the wedding company was placed in the open space in front of the hotel, and the red banner on it read "Congratulations to the bride Xu Jinfeng and the bride Si Baifang on the wedding", and there were flower baskets on both sides of the hotel door.

Upon entering the hotel door, there is a signage in the lobby that directs guests to the hall where the wedding will be held. Wu Dao found that this hotel was no worse than Fangzhou Hotel, and even more upscale.

According to the hint of the guide board, Wu Dao walked to a hall on the second floor. There is a table at the entrance of the hall, where the names of guests are registered and red envelopes are received.

Wu Dao registered his name and presented a red envelope containing 1,015 yuan. The guests who attended the wedding banquet took the red envelopes as whole numbers, and the bookkeeper was puzzled and asked Wu Dao:

"Are you a friend of the groom or the bride?"

"It's the bride's friend." Wu Dao said.

"How good is it for you to take a red envelope of 1,000 yuan, why do you want to put 15 yuan more?"

"It's a secret. The bride will understand what this number means. "1015, only Wu Dao himself knows, this is a number that he will never forget in his life, and the first time he and Si Baifang met was on October 15.

There was a waiter in charge of guiding in the hall, and after Wu Dao walked into the hall, the waiter asked him if he was a groom or a guest invited by the bride, and Wu Dao said that he was a friend of the bride, and the waiter led him to the seat where Si Baifang's colleagues and friends were sitting.

When Wu Dao sat down, several people had already come to the same table, and there were three women talking about Si Baifang and Xu Jinfeng, and one said:

"Have you seen the groom Xu Jinfeng, what does he look like? Si Baifang is so beautiful, she graduated from graduate school, and her job is so good, can Xu Jinfeng be worthy of her? ”

"I haven't seen it, but I know that in terms of family conditions, Xu Jinfeng is definitely worthy of his boss Baifang. To be more precise, it should be a rural girl who married into a wealthy family, and it was Gao Pan. Another said.

"Is the groom's family really so good?"

"That's true. I work in the same unit as Si Baifang. You only know that Si Baifang works in a bank, do you know how she came to our bank? ”

"I don't know."

"The mother of the groom Xu Jinfeng, that is, Si Baifang's mother-in-law, is the assistant to the president of our bank.

Si Baifang's academic qualifications are reasonable, but her first degree is a self-examined bachelor's degree, if there is no relationship, she will not be able to enter our industry at all, and it is impossible to get such a good position. ”

"I see."

"For this wedding banquet, there are two kinds of invitations in our line. The assistant to the president sent invitations to middle-level and above cadres, and Si Baifang sent invitations to general staff. I'm just a general clerk, so I'm sitting here. But that's fine, if the assistant to the president really sent me an invitation, I'd have to wrap a bigger red envelope. ”

"The groom's mother is so powerful, so isn't his father even more powerful?"

"It's very powerful, and it's said that he is a big entrepreneur. However, they have been divorced for many years. ”

"And what is the groom doing now?"

"Xu Jinfeng's father has many enterprises, and as soon as Xu Jinfeng graduated from graduate school, his father gave him one to be responsible."

"In this way, this Xu Jinfeng is really a golden beetle son-in-law. Si Baifang found him right. ”

"None of you have seen Xu Jinfeng, I have seen it. Not only is he very handsome, but he is also tall, at least 1.8 meters. The third person said.

"Then isn't he much taller than Si Baifang?" The first man said again.

"yes. In terms of family, there is no comparison between the bride and groom, and in terms of academic qualifications, both of them are graduate students, and in terms of work, there is no comparison. That is, the appearance, which is a good match. The third person said.

"Si Baifang found Xu Jinfeng, it was really lucky. The Si family will not have to worry about running out of money to spend in the future. The first person said.

"Who's to say it isn't." The second said.

Listening to the conversation of the people next to him, Wu Dao felt a lot more relaxed, he didn't have to worry about Si Baifang's future anymore, because her current husband was much better than him in every aspect. He just wants to see what Si Baifang will look like in a wedding dress now, it must be more beautiful than a fairy.

After a burst of firecrackers, accompanied by soothing music, the bride and groom finally appeared.

Wu Dao saw that the groom Xu Jinfeng was indeed tall and handsome, and his appearance could not be compared with him at all, and Si Baifang next to him was wearing a white wedding dress, her beauty could not be described in words, they were indeed a match made in heaven.

The groom and bride were getting closer and closer to Wu Dao, and he suddenly found that Si Baifang was wearing a jade bracelet on her wrist, which was nothing else, the one he gave her a few years ago.

Wu Dao's eyes were instantly filled with tears, it turned out that Si Baifang had been wearing that jade bracelet, even if she married into a wealthy family and had wealth that others envied, she still cared very much about the relationship between the two of them.

Si Baifang, who was on the red carpet, also saw Wu Dao, and she smiled and nodded at him. Wu Dao also nodded at her.

The wedding went on as planned. Watching Si Baifang and Xu Jinfeng read aloud the oath, exchange rings, and kiss each other, Wu Dao admonished himself: "Wu Dao, Si Baifang and Xu Jinfeng are the best choice to get married. Bless them and never shed tears. Despite the extreme sadness in his heart, he always had a smile on his face.

After the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom begin to toast the guests. Walking to the table where Wu Dao was, Si Baifang saw him and showed a sweet smile, she said to Wu Dao:

"Wu Dao, I know you will definitely come, thank you for coming to Beijing to attend my wedding."

"Of course I'm going to attend your wedding, even if it's on the moon, I'll go. Happy birthday to you! Wu Dao said to Xu Jinfeng again, "You are the luckiest person, you must give Baifang happiness, if she is not happy in life, I will definitely settle accounts with you." ”

"You are Wu Dao. I often hear Baifang talk about you, saying that you are best friends, and I am jealous when I hear it. Don't worry, I'll take care of her. Xu Jinfeng said and patted Wu Dao's shoulder.

Wu Daolian drank three glasses of wine and said:

"I wish you a hundred years of good together."

Si Baifang and Xu Jinfeng finished this table and went to other tables. Wu Dao silently left the hall, glanced back at Si Baifang at the exit, and then walked to the first floor.

Walking outside the hotel, Wu Dao looked up at the sky, and there happened to be two clouds floating by. He thought that he and Si Baifang were like these two clouds in the sky, although they were once intimate, but after a gust of wind, they would be separated from each other, and they didn't know if they could see each other again in this life.

Two days later, Si Baifang sent a text message to Wu Dao:

"Wu Dao, thank you for coming to my wedding. You sent me a red envelope, and I received it. I know what that number means. That day, I have not forgotten. I hope you can find your happiness soon. ”
