The unpleasantness encountered in Danbei gradually faded with the scars on Li Guoyu's face. Soon after returning to Beijing, Zhan Xiaopai went to City College to report and take up a post, became a university lecturer, and at the same time studied for a graduate program at Peking University. She and Li Guoyu's wedding date is scheduled for October 22, and a well-decorated three-bedroom apartment on the edge of the East Third Ring Road is their wedding room, and the two have worked together to make it a comfortable nest.

The ideal life is just around the corner, as the wedding date approaches, Zhan Xiaopai deeply feels the beauty of life, she is full of joy, looking forward to a happy future.

Because her mother's family was not in Beijing, the Li family rented more than a dozen rooms in the Kempinski five-star hotel, not far from the divorce room, to receive Zhan Xiaopai's parents and relatives and friends who came from other places to watch the ceremony. Before the wedding, Zhan Xiaopai lived in the luxurious bridal suite of the hotel according to the customs of the north, and tomorrow, she, the bride, will leave the pavilion from here.

In the evening, Zhan Xiaopai first accompanied his parents and several family elders from Fuzhou to have dinner, and then sent them back to the room one by one to rest, and then returned to the newlywed suite, and laughed with a group of classmates and colleagues in Beijing. Xiao Lei arrived three days ago and has been by Xiao Pi's side, at this time, the two are lying on the big bed with gorgeous cloth decorations, chatting intimately.

"My dear," Du Xiaolei turned sideways, propped up her head with one hand, and looked at Zhan Xiaopai next to her with happiness on her face, "I can't believe it, you're going to be a bride tomorrow......"

"yes," Zhan Xiaopai smiled, "I didn't expect to get married so early......"

"It means that you are blessed! You must know that a woman's age is not resistant, and in a blink of an eye, she will become an older woman who hates to marry, and then she should be worried, not only her own family but also her family, so ah, this kind of good thing must be sooner rather than later! ”

"Ha," Zhan Xiaopai turned his head to look at Xiao Lei, "I don't see it, you're quite experienced." ”

"Hehe...... Du Xiaolei smiled, "I haven't eaten pork, and I haven't seen a pig run!" ”

"Seriously, how are you and Bian Xiaoxuan?"

"Still like that......"

"How's that going?" Zhan Xiaopai asked.

"Yo," Du Xiaolei was a little embarrassed, "why are you a bride gossiping more than me?" ”

"Tell me." Zhan Xiaopai also turned sideways as he spoke, looking at Du Xiaolei.

"Don't tell!" Du Xiaolei lay down and posed as if she would rather die than move.

"You really don't tell me?" Zhan Xiaopai suddenly went to Du Xiaolei's itch, "Don't tell me!" Don't tell! ”

Du Xiaolei resisted, and the two laughed together.

"Yike...... Okay, okay, I won't ask haha......"

Zhan Xiaopai couldn't resist Du Xiaolei's attack and surrendered, the two of them tidied up their clothes and lay down again, Du Xiaolei blushed, as if answering Xiaopai's question just now, and said: "Bian Xiaoxuan just studied graduate school and did his homework very tightly, he asked me to take him with a gift, I wish you a happy marriage." ”

"Oh, you thank him for me......" Zhan Xiaopai looked at Du Xiaolei hesitantly, "My marriage, the others ...... You know all about it, right? ”

"You other people...... Du Xiaolei rolled her eyes, "Who are you referring to?" ”

"Knowingly asking, isn't it?" Zhan Xiaopai glanced at Du Xiaolei.

"Hehe......" Du Xiaolei smiled slyly, "I knew you would ask!" You didn't tell me, of course I told them. ”

“…… Didn't send them both invitations, were they angry? Zhan Xiaopai asked casually.

"You really want to know?"

Du Xiaolei looked at Xiaopai researchingly, and the latter thought about it and nodded.

"Alas!" Du Xiaolei sighed heavily, "They are not only angry, but also sad!" ”

"Really?" Zhan Xiaopai was a little unconvinced, "As for it?"

"What are you lying to!" Du Xiaolei's eyes widened, "Speaking of your charm, it's really envious, jealous and hateful!" ”

"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhan Xiaopai asked.

"I told Bai Xiaoding about your marriage first, he ...... How so? The mood seems to be quite low, I said that I want to have a treat in the evening, and I will celebrate you in advance......"

"Oh...... And what about later? ”

Then I informed Yan Xiaose and made an appointment to meet at the hotel in the evening. At that time, I went with Bian Xiaoxuan, and when we arrived, Bai Xiaoding and Yan Xiaose had already drunk it, and they drank a lot, and Yan Xiaose kept saying that you shouldn't ...... It shouldn't be ......," Du Xiaolei hesitated and said nothing.

"Shouldn't you marry Li Guoyu?" Zhan Xiaopai answered.

Du Xiaolei originally felt that she shouldn't say this before stopping, but when she saw Zhan Xiaopai asking, she had to nod.

"Well, you go on."

"Bai Xiaoding looked like he was borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, and after a while, he was so drunk that he didn't wake up, he was supposed to have a treat, but it turned out that Bian Xiaoxuan went to settle the account, alas!" Du Xiaolei pursed her lips after speaking.

"Is there anything that Bai Xiaoding has been worried about lately?" Zhan Xiaopai frowned slightly.

"How do you know?" Du Xiaolei was a little surprised.

"I guess, otherwise, he wouldn't have paid for drunkenness."

"Oops, you still know him! Bai Xiaoding is really not going well this time! Speaking of this, Du Xiaolei's desire to express increased sharply.

"Why is he not going well?" Zhan Xiaopai looked at Du Xiaolei intently.

"Don't mention it, didn't Danbei Evening News recruit reporters some time ago? Bai Xiaoding's father asked someone to do it for him, but it didn't work out, and he was hacked for more than 10,000 yuan, Bai Xiaoding quarreled with his father because of this incident, and his mother was hospitalized in a fire, and he was just discharged from the hospital a few days ago. He has no job now, so he has no choice but to go to that barbecue restaurant to work. ”

"Oh......" The expression on Pi's face had become calm at this point, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"That's right," Du Xiaolei looked at Zhan Xiaopai and said, "Let me tell you before Bai Xiaoding got drunk that day, saying that I wish you a happy life." ”

After hearing this, Zhan Xiaopai was silent with his hands on his knees.

"Pie, shouldn't I tell you this?" Seeing Xiaopai like this, Xiaolei had no bottom in her heart.

"How can there be so many that shouldn't be?" Zhan Xiaopai smiled and said, "It's true that the two of us are better, but it's been so long...... It's been nothing for a long time, not to mention that I'll get married tomorrow, if I'm still thinking about Bai Xiaoding now, then what am I going to become? ”

"yes! I'm relieved if you think so! Seeing her good friend say this, Du Xiaolei breathed a sigh of relief, and her speech became even more casual, "Yan Xiaose said something that scared me that night, you know that I can't hold things in my heart, and I was still struggling with whether to tell you or not." Seeing that you are so happy now, it doesn't matter if you say it or not......"

"What did Yan Xiaose say? Something to do with me? Zhan Xiaopai's tone was light.

"Well, he said that the reason why Bai Xiaoding didn't repeat it back then was because of ......"

Du Xiaolei said, and suddenly found that Zhan Xiaopai was staring at her with a serious face, and she was a little nervous, "Xiaopai, you ...... Why are you looking at me like that? ”

"Okay, I won't look at it, you can say it quickly." Zhan Xiaopai turned his face away.

"You...... Are you sure you want to listen? Du Xiaolei asked timidly.

"Sure!"

"Oh okay......" Du Xiaolei looked at Zhan Xiaopai beside her, swallowed a mouthful of saliva uneasily, and continued: "Yan Xiaose said, in fact, Bai Xiaoding wanted to repeat his studies more than anyone else, but later he found out that his mother refused to treat his illness in order to save money for him to go to school, so he changed his mind and didn't repeat it......"

The truth came so suddenly! The mystery that was insolvable back then has an answer at this inopportune moment! Zhan Xiaopai remained motionless in his posture of sitting with his knees crossed, but tears were already flowing down unconsciously.

In just a moment, Xiaopai understood Xiao Ding's hard work, and all of Xiao Ding's strange behaviors four years ago are now explained: why did he only fill in the local college of Danbei University on his wish? It's because you can save money by studying at a local institution; Why work hard and then use all your salary to buy a piece of jade for yourself? It's because he wants to apologize; Why don't you reply to your own letters? It's because of his self-esteem......

However, it was not only this that shocked Zhan Xiaopai, but she thought that Bai Xiaoding had done the right thing, and if it was herself, she would do it like him!

"Pie, why are you—why are you crying?" Du Xiaolei was shocked to finally find that Pie was in tears.

“…… I'm fine. Zhan Xiaopai wiped the tears from his face with his hand.

"I'll just say it," Du Xiaolei regretted, "I shouldn't have told you!" ”

"Lei Lei, in fact, I want to thank you for telling me this," Zhan Xiaopai turned around and shook Du Xiaolei's hand, "To tell you the truth, I never thought that Bai Xiaoding's refusal to repeat his studies was due to poor family conditions, thinking that he didn't pay attention to our feelings and was not positive, and he was very disappointed in him, but now it seems that he is a very thoughtful person!" ”

"Well, yes," Du Xiaolei nodded vigorously, "I also felt this way when I heard Yan Xiaose talk about this matter, I think, the reason why Bai Xiaoding didn't tell you the real reason why he refused to repeat it may be that he feels that he is not worthy of you anymore, and he doesn't want to leave you any more entanglements, right?" ”

Pie didn't say anything more, she slowly got up and got out of bed, and walked to a hanger on the side of the room.

Xiao Lei followed behind Xiao Pai, she knew that her good friend must be in a very uneasy mood at this time, on the eve of the wedding, this is not good, as the initiator, she doesn't know what to say except blame herself.

Zhan Xiaopai looked at the beautiful white wedding dress in front of him, his eyes were misty like fog, and after a long time, he muttered: "Bai Xiaoding, it seems that only by living happily can I live up to your heart......"
