Chapter Eighty-Nine: The End of the Play: Do You Dance at the Wedding?
In the end, like everyone around them, He Tianran and Cao Aiqing really came together and walked into the next stage of their lives hand in hand.
In this few years when he walked out of the campus and entered the society, time passed suddenly, He Tianran began to have no forks in the road of fate in front of him, maybe there was, but he didn't need to hesitate anymore, now, he only concentrated on taking the current road.
Because of this, he was fortunate to avoid every clue that made the tragedy happen.
He played a good ending, and he did it......
However, he doesn't remember either.
The life that this path leads to is completely different from the future envisioned by the seventeen-year-old boy.
In this long process, He Tianran has become sleek and sophisticated again, with his talent, talent and family background, his career is soaring, he will no longer fight with his parents, and the songs in the car stereo have changed from his favorite Mayday to more ancient tracks such as Gun Flower, Nirvana, The Beatles and other bands.
Boxing has long been out of practice, and although he still maintains the habit of exercising and fitness, he has forgotten why he first sweated when he first swung his swing arm.
He has always kept the piano that Jiang Xixi gave him, but the fingerstyle blogger named NaturaL on the Internet has long disappeared and has never updated a new video.
He gradually learned how to survive in this society, in addition to his original career, he would also do some other things, but those were no longer his teenage hobbies, and the people he met in his youth appeared less and less often as he grew older.
For a few years, he would dream about strange things and people repeatedly, and the most common dream was in a black and white dream, he was standing in a place similar to a stage, chasing the light, and he was playing the piano in his hand; But sometimes, he stood under the stage again, holding flowers in front of him.
But no matter where he stood in his dream, there was always a girl singing on the stage.
What the girl looked like, he couldn't see clearly; He couldn't remember what the girl sang.
But, that should be a very touching song, after all, every time He Tianran wakes up after this kind of dream, it will always be accompanied by an inexplicable sadness, he sits on the edge of the bed for a long time, and then carefully recalls the details of the dream but has no clue at all, he will always laugh at himself for his sentimentality, and then play a Beatles "A Day In The Life".
He felt that the feeling of this song before a minute and fifty seconds was very similar to the sadness in a dream, and as for the aftermath, it was more like real life after waking up.
Of course, after his fiancΓ©e returned to China, such dreams became less and less, and he always slept well when the two of them hugged each other.
The feeling of peace and happiness that his lover gave him by his side was incomparable, like the soft light of the morning or sunset, which wrapped his body and made him no longer wake up from his dreams, which made him feel that he was very happy and satisfied to have such a life......
This kind of happiness and satisfaction does not need to be expressed too much.
So, let's let his story fast-forward to the end.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
One summer eight years later.
A high-end suit custom shop called VK on Nanjing Road ushered in two distinguished customers, a man and a woman.
The man is dignified, with a tall posture and a tough contour of the face, showing a kind of majestic and confident temperament, while the woman is graceful and moving, with long hair coiled into a capable and gentle French bun, showing the beauty of intellectual elegance.
The two appeared hand in hand, and they were a pair of lovers who were enough to envy others.
The middle-aged tailor who was tailoring someone else immediately smiled when he saw them enter the door, but he was not in a hurry to put down the work at hand and ignore the other, the veteran tailor just waved his hand, said hello, and then pointed to the sofa in the shop, signaling them to wait for a while.
The man raised his chin to the tailor in response, and then took the woman into the seat, the female apprentice in the shop did not dare to slack off, and served black tea as soon as possible, these two people are also regular customers in the store, the little girl held the tea tray in both hands, and asked the woman with a smile:
"Sister Ai Qing, has your wedding dress arrived?"
The woman took a sip of black tea gently, and then put it down, and was always happy when asked about this kind of thing, and she said cheerfully:
"It's here, I got it last week~"
"Really? What's that brand? Or is it the Dior you ordered before? β
The woman shook her head, "No, it's Elie Saab." β
"That's right...... That's nice......"
The little apprentice girl had stars in her eyes and muttered in her mouth, full of envy.
The pair of men and women in front of them are naturally He Tianran and Cao Aiqing, and now their wedding is imminent, this time they are coming to the store to take the man's wedding dress for the day.
As for the wedding dress mentioned by the two girls just now, it is naturally another arrangement.
Three years ago, He Tianran officially returned from Sequoia Capital and joined the investment department of Shanhai Group, which is like Prince Linfan, who finally entered the board of directors after successfully presiding over several large-scale investment projects, and it is conceivable that in the next ten years, he will slowly take over the power in the hands of He Panshan, so that Shanhai Group will take an important step to become a family business.
And the wedding of the prince of Hong Kong City can not be talked about externally, but internally, it has an important significance, so it is conceivable that this wedding will be very beautiful.
Take Cao Aiqing's wedding dress as an example, at first it was the well-known luxury brand Dior, like this level of wedding, the price of customized wedding dresses is between 5 million and 20 million, originally Cao Aiqing wanted to participate in the design of the wedding dress, although she studied architecture, but for this kind of clothes that are only worn once in a lifetime, she still wants to participate eagerly.
However, the people on Dior's side politely refused this request, claiming that as long as Ms. Cao explained her concept of love and marriage, she would definitely be able to design a wedding dress that fully matched her concept and brand tone.
After all, interlacing is like a mountain, although it is a bit regrettable, but Cao Aiqing can accept it, but Bai Wenyu, who has always spoiled her daughter-in-law, was immediately unhappy when she knew, her business activities in Europe are quite extensive, and the senior leaders of these luxury brands usually deal with each other, knowing that this is a kind of European arrogant rhetoric, so there is no need to get used to such words, and the money is still afraid that it will not be spent?
So, on the day she learned the news, she quickly contacted Elie Saab and Chanel, two luxury brands, both of which expressed a strong willingness to accept Cao Aiqing's participation in every process of wedding dress design, and the former expressed full trust in Cao Aiqing after learning that Cao Aiqing had worked in the famous British architectural firm BDP and had remarkable achievements, and claimed:
"We respect every outstanding woman from all walks of life, and we firmly believe that we can complete a fairytale perfect cooperation with Ms. Cao Aiqing this time."
This is very correct and durable, it can be seen that in the arrogant luxury brand circle, there are also such a group of people who will come to things.
In the end, Elie Saab successfully snatched this piece of meat from Dior, although the latter's reputation is more resounding in most people's hearts, but as Elie Saab, who has the synonym of "fairy exclusive" and "red carpet killer" in the minds of many actresses, is also unique in luxury brands, a skirt of six million is completely a routine operation, and this brand is usually not so approachable, many actresses want to wear his skirt on the red carpet, at least half a year in advance, If there is not enough coffee table, then just skip talking.
He Tianran watched Cao Aiqing chatting with the female apprentice, he smiled, and then shifted his gaze to the black tea that the other party had only taken a sip of just now, he stretched out his hand and took the teacup and lifted it up, commanding:
"Trouble, add some sugar and milk to the tea."
"Ah...... Okay, okay, Mr. He, wait a minute. β
When the little girl faced He Tianran, she was obviously not as relaxed as when she faced Cao Aiqing, she took the teacup and walked away in a hurry.
Cao Aiqing looked back at her lover, her eyes still carried the innocence of a girl, and He Tianran quipped:
"How's that, is it British enough? I'll take my clothes and take you to a snack. β
"Strange Appearance~"
Cao Aiqing scolded him, then moved his body to his side, and slowly rested his head on his shoulder.
The hands of the two couldn't help but interlock their fingers, He Tianran looked down at the ring on his fiancΓ©e's middle finger, and then his thumb gently stroked the back of her hand twice, and said happily:
"Fortunately, there was a typhoon just two days ago, and it has been sunny recently, otherwise the outdoor wedding you are planning will not be able to conclude. I remember that on the day of the typhoon's landing, Wang Ma was still asking me if I wanted to postpone it for a few weeks, and I was also panicked at that time, but the invitations were sent out, and it would not be good to inform me again. β
Cao Aiqing raised his head from his shoulder and nodded his head with his hand:
"Look at the weather forecast."
"Really? How do I feel like the weather forecast isn't accurate yet? β
He Tianran lifted the hand they were holding and kissed it gently.
"Mr. He, you can come here!"
At this time, the tailor boss had finished the work at hand, he called out in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, the two people on the sofa separated, He Tianran stood up and pinched his lover's face:
"Wait for me for a while."
"Hmm~"
Cao Aiqing waved his hands to knock out his magic grasp, but He Tianran withdrew his hand in time and left with a smile.
The apprentice sister who left just now also came back with black tea with sugar and milk, she looked at He Tianran's back, and then looked at Cao Aiqing, who was holding her chin and keeping her eyes on the other party, she said sincerely:
"Sister Ai Qing, Mr. He is kind to you, you are beautiful and rich, and you always remember your preferences~"
Cao Aiqing picked up the black tea and took a big sip this time, feeling sweet in her heart.
"We've been together for a long time, we've known each other since high school, and we remember each other's preferences."
"Wow, I'm so envious, from campus love to marriage, by the way, which middle school are you from?"
"Port City Middle School."
Cao Aiqing replied, she put down the teacup, but the little girl didn't continue to ask, but asked another topic that made her a little silent.
"That'...... Then do you recognize Wen Liang? Wenliang High School is also from that school. β
ββ¦β¦β
I don't know when this world began to have a cool shadow, Cao Aiqing speculated that maybe it was the moment when He Tianran completely forgot about reincarnation.
Because even if this person appears again, it will no longer affect their lives.
However, the news about Wen Liang was still more frequent in the early years, but in recent years it has been a lot less, I heard that she was hidden by the company for several years, and then faded out of the entertainment industry, so far this year, there is no news at all, and now when I heard others say her name, Cao Aiqing is also a little curious, she said:
"When I was studying...... Knowing is knowing, why do you suddenly ask about this? β
"Really, really? Sister Ai Qing, don't you know, didn't there be a big typhoon a few days ago, Wen Liang encountered a car accident in this typhoon, and the obituaries of her brokerage company were sent, hey, usually the news about her is only a few hundred likes, but I didn't expect it to be on the hot search, think about it When she first debuted, I also fanned her, and I thought she had very good acting skills and very beautiful people, but then I don't know how, I went crazy for a few years and filmed a bunch of bad dramas, wasting talent and resources, the coffee position dropped again and again, and a good card was played poorly, I'm just a fan of passers-by...... Sister Ai Qing, you ...... Are you listening? β
Finding that the person she was talking to suddenly stared at her, the apprentice sister was a little at a loss for a while.
Cao Aiqing was incredulous, she confirmed word by word:
"You just said that she was cool...... He's dead? β
β¦β¦
At the same time, on the other side of the store.
"Master Chen, don't panic to get your clothes first, you can help me measure my dimension again, I feel like I've gained a little weight this month, do you think if it's true, is it too late to change my clothes now?"
He Tianran turned sideways in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, and suddenly felt a little worried.
"Mr. He, you are in very good shape, but you are busy, you should have a lot of entertainment during the period before marriage, right?"
The tailor pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, removed the soft ruler around his neck, and began to measure Kiga's current size.
The clothes were made two months ago, and the materials are all top-quality fabrics, if there is really too much difference, it will take some time to change, but this may not be able to catch up with He Tianran's wedding date.
But fortunately, after re-measuring, He Tianran's various sizes did not change much, it was purely psychological, and both of them were relieved for this.
"Mentality is still very important, Mr. He."
The tailor laughed and teased, and He Tianran said: "Oh, get married, life events, my lover is not nervous, but I can't hold back a little, which makes Master Chen smile." β
"Understand, wait a minute, I'll go get you the costume, and you can try it on the spot later."
"Well, there's work."
The tailor entered the back room, He Tianran put one hand in his pocket, and at this time, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrate, and he picked it up and saw that it was an unknown number.
Salesmanship? Ad?
Such a thought flashed through his mind, and he would not answer the call in his usual way, but after knowing that his worries were just psychological, he was in a happy mood, so he answered the call like a ghost.
"Hey, hello, who's that?"
The other party was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said in a cautious tone:
"I ...... I am...... It's cool. β
Cool?
This name suddenly made He Tianran feel an indescribable familiarity, he thought about it, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it, so he asked:
"Cool? That's a familiar name...... Do we know each other? β
The person on the other end of the phone didn't know what was wrong, and it wasn't until he waited for a long time that he said in a fluctuating tone:
"I ...... We're high school classmates, you...... You remember me, right? In my junior year of high school, our school's orientation party ......"
"Huh? What happened to the welcome party? He Tianran asked rhetorically.
"You...... Forgot? β
"I ......"
At this point, He Tianran really thought that this was a liar's words, but he was indeed a little familiar with the name Wen Liang, and he thought about it seriously, and then he suddenly realized:
"Ah, you're the child star from my high school days, right? Later, I also heard that you were admitted to film school after graduation and continued to break through in the entertainment industry, and at that time, our high school classmates discussed it for a while, but there was no news about you on the Internet in the past two years, maybe I didn't pay much attention to these things, I'm sorry. β
He Tianran waited for a while, and then the other party asked again in a soft voice inexplicably:
"You...... How are you doing now? β
He Tianran was really confused by this question, but when the old classmate called, he still relented and said:
"Huh? It's okay, didn't I do well in the college entrance examination that year, and I studied finance in college, a popular major, and now I'm preparing to take my dad's class. β
This kind of news is well known even if it is placed in the circle of classmates, and looking at this Wen Liang, I haven't been in contact with my former classmates for a long time, but I want to be a star, it's normal to not know this, he thought about it again, and added:
"Oh yes, I'm getting married tomorrow, would you like to come over and have two glasses of wine? I also invited some of my former high school classmates who I thought would be excited to meet you! β
In fact, He Tianran didn't hope that the other party would come, after all, the time was too rushed, and the other party's profession was relatively special.
"Knot...... Marriage? β
"Yes, my lover you also know, it's Cao Aiqing! I still remember that other classes were very envious of our class, saying that the two school flowers of the entire Gangcheng Middle School were in our class, but unfortunately, you seemed to be in the art examination training class at that time, and only came back occasionally to take a few cultural classes, otherwise, our group of boys might be able to say a few more words to you, a big star, hahaha...... I don't mean anything else, don't mind. β
"Congratulations...... Congratulations...... Natural. β
The other party didn't know why, and there was a sudden chill in his tone, He Tianran wondered if his joke just now was a bit excessive?
He slowed his tone and said as calmly as he could:
"Ha, thank you, thank you, Wen Liang, you can take a look at your time, you can come over when you are free, if you are not free, you don't force it, just send the blessing to it, uh...... By the way, my marriage with Ai Qing is on Nanzhi Island, I have to take a boat here, we have a boat to arrange pick-up and drop-off at the port, if you arrive, just call this number, I will let someone pick you up to the scene, you ...... In Port City, right? β
ββ¦β¦ I...... Absence. β
He Tianran knew in his heart that the other party would definitely not come.
"It's okay, it's a big deal that our old classmates will get together again in the future......"
"Natural ......"
"Huh?"
He Tianran was about to say some tactful words to end the topic, but the other party suddenly called his name, and then asked a very strange question:
"You and Ai Qing ...... At a wedding, do you dance? β
"What?"
He Tianran really didn't understand the meaning of this question.
"Do you dance at weddings?"
The other party repeated, as if he really wanted to know the answer to the question.
"Uh...... There is no such arrangement in the wedding process, why do you ask so? β
"Because...... It's going to be romantic to dance at a wedding......"
He Tianran clearly felt the other end of the phone, and smiled coldly.
"Ah, thank you for the advice, I ......"
"Toot-toot-toot-"
Just as he was about to say something thankful for the suggestion, the other party had already hung up the phone.
He Tianran took the mobile phone in a trance, this suggestion was very sincere, but this conversation made him feel that there was no beginning and no end.
β¦β¦
After taking the clothes, with doubts in his heart, He Tianran walked to the lover who had been waiting for him.
"Who called you just now? Talking for so long? β
Cao Aiqing asked curiously.
He Tianran shrugged: "An old classmate, inexplicable." β
He held the pocket containing the dress in one hand and Cao Aiqing again in the other, and the two left the clothing store.
"Who?"
"Wen Liang, do you remember?"
Cao Aiqing stopped suddenly.
"What's wrong? The face was suddenly so ugly. β
He Tianran asked with concern.
After a while, Cao Aiqing shook his head and said with a smile:
"It's nothing, maybe it's been sitting for a long time, let's go."
"Hmm."
Regarding whether he remembered Wen Liang or not, Cao Aiqing did not answer, and He Tianran did not ask again.
It seems that in their lives today, whether this person exists or not is just an irrelevant question.
