Chapter 286: Isn't This Acting?
Her heart suddenly shuddered and she looked to the side.
Chu Xiaolai held the wine glass in one hand, but his eyes suddenly fell on her.
A few steps away, the man's warm eyes stared at him, and his eyes seemed to be crushed with a fine light, like a small galaxy.
There was some warmth in her heart, but, fleetingly, and then pressed down by the darkness, she took a deep breath, and laughed helplessly, what could she do?
There is no way around it.
She is like a stone standing quietly in the river, and Ji Xiaoyao is the water that constantly flows through.
She has known Ji Xiaoyao for so many years, and he has left countless marks on her body, like water lines washed on a stone that can't be washed off.
She didn't want to take care of what happened over there, she couldn't wait to leave here now, leave this uncomfortable place, her ears were full of their detailed discussions, saying how compatible Ji Xiaoyao and Sun Manman were, and Sun Manman's identity and Ji Xiaoyao standing together was a godsend.
The marriage of the Xiangcheng Ji family and the Haicheng Sun family, how sensational should it be? Everyone even saw how brilliant the Ji family would be in the future.
She stood in the corner with a wine glass in her hand, her eyes stared at the two people not far away, she raised her head and drank the red liquid in the cup in one gulp, the taste of alcohol spread between her lips and teeth, she raised her head to hide the dampness and heat under her eyes, her nose was slightly hot, she hurriedly wanted to go, took a step forward, and suddenly it was dark in front of her and she almost fell.
Di Ying thought to herself: It's over.
Maybe today she will make a fool of herself here, and many people will recognize her, see her embarrassment, and laugh at her.
That person will also have infinite sympathy in his heart, or will he feel pitiful, right?
She was waiting for the pain and humiliation to be felt, but the next moment her whole person was hugged by a strong arm, and then the whole person was firmly held in his arms, Di Ying's face was a little red, and there was a faint smell of wine on her body, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "How much wine have you drunk?" ”
How much did you drink? She also forgot, she only cared about drinking, shook her head, her whole person's steps were a little soft, shaky, hanging on his body: "I don't know." ”
Although she was smiling, her eyes were full of mist, condensing a faint sadness, he turned his head to look behind him, turned her in a direction, and prevented her from looking at the people over there, covering her eyes, and his palms were wet. Chu Xiaolai lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Di Ying, don't cry for him in front of me anymore, it's not worth it, you and I are by your side." ”
She couldn't listen to what Chu Xiao said.
She thought she could turn away with ease, but now she felt like she had fallen from the clouds to the ground, and all the bones in her body seemed to be shattered, merging with the darkness, and she could no longer piece together a complete version of herself.
Chu Xiaolai's hand touched her shoulder and shook her vigorously, hoping that she would be sober: "Di Ying, you look at me, you are not alone in this world, you still have me, and we will all be by your side and will never leave you." ”
"Will you never leave?" At that moment, it was as if another crack had opened in her heart, and the sunlight was pouring in.
"As long as you need me, I will be by your side and will not leave you." His gaze was as gentle as water, and he whispered.
Ji Xiaoyao has always felt that there seems to be a gaze that has been looking at him all the time, and it has always fallen on him, Sun Manman is by his side, but his mind is Di Ying's face, and he always feels a little uneasy.
Sun Manman's hand wrapped around Ji Xiaoyao's arm like a vine, and it was at this time that the host's voice on the side came out of the microphone clearly, and everyone cast their eyes over there.
Sun Manman and Ji Xiaoyao stood in the middle at this time, accepting everyone's gaze.
The huge living room, the roof of the shed is like flowing soft lights, Sun Manman is elegant and beautiful in a white dress like a white swan, Ji Xiaoyao is dressed in a slim dress to set off his figure even taller, not far away There is a piano, accompanied by the host's voice, and a girl in a white dress sits next to the piano.
There's also a band by your side.
With the opening of the piano music, the orchestra around me also began to accompany the rhythm of the music.
The dinner is about to begin.
Sun Manman looked back at the man beside him, took the initiative to take his hand and walked to the middle, the light above his head went out, and only a chasing light in the middle fell on the two of them.
Sun Manman's hand was in his palm, she knew that Di Ying had come, right here, the woman's eyebrows and eyes showed a small and fragmented light, with some hope, leaning up and begging: "Ji Xiaoyao, you promised me, you can't let me down." ”
He came back to his senses, retracted his sense of fugue, and moved his steps with his hand holding Sun Manman's hand, and the other hand landed on Sun Manman's thin waist, and the back of the dress and skirt Sun Manman wore was a thin layer of veil, showing off the perfect back.
Under the light, the butterfly bones on the back were perfect, the slender arms rose with Ji Xiaoyao's dance steps, Sun Manman turned in a circle with high heels and then snuggled in his arms, and the man's hand passed in front of her.
The men are handsome and tall, and the women are soft and beautiful.
Every move is like a scene in a TV series, and it is as beautiful as in an idol drama.
The male protagonist hugged the heroine with pity, enjoying everyone's gaze, and couldn't wait to pass on all the lovers and let everyone feel their sweetness.
Feel how happy they are, and I can't wait for everyone around the world to know that they are the happiest couple.
Although Chu Xiaolai blocked her vision, when she looked through his broad back, she only saw the figure of a man, and she seemed to be able to feel it standing next to her...... In fact, she has always been outside of his world, and has never had a chance to step into his world.
She was uncomfortably tilting her head, unable to breathe, listening to the sound of pleasant music, and everyone was cheering for them.
That minute by minute, as if she was suffering, as if she was in hell, she bit Chu Xiaolai's shoulder, felt the pain coming from her skin, and he raised his hand to the back of her head.
There was a touch of distress in his eyes.
Loved, hurt, and given up, he will completely draw a clear line with the past, he allowed Di Ying to be sad for him a few more times, but he will never allow it again in the future.
Chu Xiaolai glanced back at the two people who were still dancing in the light, and asked in a low voice: "You have already seen it, do you want to continue to watch it next?" Shall I take you home? ”
"No, you don't." Di Ying shook her head, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, otherwise the tears washed away her makeup, raised her head and smiled slightly: "Anyway, I've already come and seen it, so let's continue, I don't like to give up from it, I like him for so many years, since it's going to end, then naturally I have to wait until the end to make the merit complete, isn't it?" ”
"You don't have to embarrass yourself like that." He wanted to be ruthless to Di Ying, but he didn't want her to push himself into a corner.
Seeing her sad, his heart would be even more sad.
"It's not about embarrassment, it's about saying goodbye to the past ten years." She raised her head and stood leaning on Chu Xiaolai, "Chu Xiaolai, don't persuade me, just stay with me quietly." ”
"Okay." This time, Di Ying didn't push him away, but chose to keep him by her side.
Di Ying squinted at the person over there, so far away, she seemed to clearly see the man's happy gaze in the hazy light.
Her heart throbbed to death.
After the dance, the lights of the audience turned on, and Sun Yingchuan and Old Man Ji walked over side by side.
The two talked and laughed and had a close relationship.
Ji Xiaoyao looked at the two people who came over, and had some bad premonitions in his heart, Sun Manman looked at the people who came over with a smile, Sun Yingchuan walked to the two of them, stood in the middle, and looked at Old Man Ji, "Why don't you come here, Old Man Ji?" ”
He glanced at the people on the scene.
Old Man Ji also laughed, put one hand in front of him, and nodded.
Ji Xiaoyao's brows twisted slightly, and Old Man Ji had already stepped forward, cleared his throat and said: "Today, welcome everyone to come here to participate in the engagement ceremony of Xiao Yao and Manman, in the past, Man Man and Xiao Yao were a couple, these years, it is not easy to come together in a separate and combined way, it is not easy, Xiao Yao's child is something I watched grow up, I see that he is now an adult, and now he is getting married, and I, a grandfather, also feel happy for him." Manman is a good girl. ”
Old Man Ji looked at the two.
Then someone took a box over, reached out and handed it to Sun Manman, patted her on the shoulder and put her and Ji Xiaoyao's hands together.
"Xiao Yao, treat Manman well in the future, live a good life with her, do you hear?"
"Thank you grandpa for the gift." Sun Manman smiled sweetly, bent his eyebrows, and then hugged Old Man Ji.
Ji Xiaoyao quietly took Sun Manman's hand away.
He's done his part.
That's enough.
"You can stop acting in moderation." He reminded in a cold voice.
"Stinky boy, what did you say?" Old Man Ji stared at Ji Xiaoyao coldly, and asked with a snort, "What acting?" Could it be that we have gone to great lengths to come up with so much, just to act? Ji Xiaoyao, whether you recognize it or not, you and Manman are already engaged today, and I have already sent out the news about the engagement. There's no way to change it! ”
"What do you say? Grandfather? Ji Xiaoyao's voice tightened: "This is a matter between me and Manman, we have discussed it before, this is just an acting!" ”
It's not serious.
It's just a play.
"Nonsense!" Old Man Ji also lowered his voice, and there were many people around, he roared in a voice that only the two of them could hear, but he still kept a smile on his face: "You are no longer a child, are you still going to fight against me?" I'm doing this for your own good, are you going to announce it to the public now, what you're doing is making a show, playing house? Where did you put the Ji family and the Sun family? ”
"Don't you care about the reputation of the vines?" Old Man Ji's gaze fell on Sun Manman.
