Bai Nuoyan took Ye Lan into the car, but saw Ye Lan alone.
"Are you alone?" She looked around but didn't see anyone suspicious.
"Who else could it be?"
"Boyfriend. There's a room full of people waiting to see your boyfriend."
"What boyfriend? We broke up a long time ago. The person on the phone just now was my classmate who flew here with me." Ye Lan got on the passenger seat.
"Little boy, fasten your seat belts." Bai Nuoyan reminded.
"Sister, I'm 21 now and you can't call me a kid anymore." In order to show that he is an adult, Ye Lan straightened his body.
"Yeah, you've had so many boyfriends, I really can't call you a kid anymore." Bai Nuoyan smiled and fastened his seat belt, "I've seen photos of your former boyfriends on the Internet before."
"Um?"
"Don't they all look familiar to you?"
"How does it look familiar?"
"I think they all seem to look a bit like Ji Feng. Either the nose, the eyes, or the expression. Lanlan, so you like this type of him?" Bai Nuoyan joked.
Ye Lan was stunned.
When I heard that name, my heart still felt sour and my chest felt tight and painful, but I soon raised my chin and smiled casually, "I like handsome guys. Don't you think Brother Ji Feng is very good-looking? You can't go wrong if you look for someone like him."
"Then why don't you go to him directly? The one who is close to the water can get the moon first." Bai Nuoyan joked.
Ye Lan laughed it off, as if jokingly saying, "I want to, too, but doesn't he already have a fiancée?"
"What fiancée?"
"I saw her when I came back when I was 18. My brother said she was his fiancée. You didn't know?"
"Oh, I think I know who you're talking about. We met that girl once, and then..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore." Ye Lan stopped talking tiredly and changed the subject, "Who is there now? Is my brother here?"
"Your brother is just at your sister-in-law's place, he should be here by now. Everyone else is here, except the one I just mentioned." Bai Nuoyan looked at the rearview mirror and noticed the road conditions, and said, "Ji Feng said he had an appointment and left. When I came out, I saw him hugging a woman, who must be his date tonight."
Ye Lan was silent and didn't speak for a long time.
He just cast a lonely gaze out the window.
The nightlife of the capital city is flourishing, but in her eyes, it is dull and gray.
It turns out that his life now is still as rich and colorful as in the past
—Then you must promise me that from tomorrow on, you will not date other women and you will not kiss other women like this!
-good.
—No sleeping with other women! No doing adult things!
-Can.
—Tang Jifeng, will you wait for me to grow up
—I’m willing to wait as long as it takes.
A few years had passed, and she thought she had forgotten some of the things she said, but when she closed her eyes, everything was still terribly clear. However, with the passage of time, those promises had already become the biggest lies.
A lie that imprisoned her heart and made her unable to break free.
big liar!
Ye Lan felt a sore nose and tears almost fell from his eyes.
"Why aren't you talking?" Bai Nuoyan didn't hear the voice and glanced at her sideways.
Ye Lan came back to his senses, avoided her, turned his face away and quietly raised his hand to wipe his tears. Then he turned back and smiled at her, "Sister, I want to sleep for a while. I'm exhausted after sitting on the plane for such a long time."
"I see you don't look too well." Bai Nuoyan looked at her worriedly, "How about I take you to Zhongshan first? Grandpa and grandma are waiting for you at home now. They will be very happy to see you."
Ye Lan really didn't want to go there, so he nodded and said, "Then let's go back to Zhongshan first."
———
The next day.
Shu Nian woke up in the hotel early in the morning. The makeup artist and costume designer were already waiting.
As the bridesmaid, Xiong Wanting also woke up early to get ready.
The room was bustling and joyful.
"Sister-in-law!" The door of the room was knocked, and a crisp voice sounded outside the door.
Someone has already opened the door.
"Lanlan?" Shu Nian stood up when she saw Ye Lan. Ye Lan had already rushed over and hugged her, "Sister-in-law, do you miss me? It's been a long time since we last met!"
Shu Nian is funny.
This child is still the same as before.
"Your brother said that you have been in Youcheng all the time." Shu Nian pulled her away from him a little bit and looked at her. "Well, you have really grown up. Girls change a lot when they grow up. You are getting more and more beautiful."
"No matter how beautiful she is, she can't be more beautiful than today's bride."
Shu Nian smiled, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Ye Lan leaned forward to look at himself in the mirror and saw a few dark circles under his eyes.
I really tossed and turned last night and couldn't fall asleep. When I arrive in a familiar city, I always think of that familiar person. A love affair that died before it even started will probably always make people miss it inexplicably.
She pulled a chair and sat down, a smile on her bare face. She looked up at Shu Nian and said, "I came to your place to ask for help from the makeup artist. A simple application should be enough to cover up the dark circles. When I returned to Zhongshan last night, grandma kept talking to me and I went to bed very late."
"Can I not talk to you? It's rare for you to come back now, and it's not easy to see you." Ye Lan sat down and let the makeup artist apply powder on her face. She talked to Ye Lan who was also putting on makeup, "Are you not leaving this time?"
Ye Lan was silent for a moment, then said, "I still have to go. I applied to stay in school. Maybe I will continue studying there."
"Your grandparents will definitely not be happy about this."
"... Yeah." Ye Lan didn't say anything. Shu Nian couldn't help but look at her twice more, "What's wrong, are you in a bad mood?"
"No, no! Today is the day you and my brother are getting married. I'm so happy. How can I be in a bad mood?"
Shu Nian tapped her nose and said, "Why are you still acting like a child? How can you keep talking about death?"
Ye Lan stuck out his tongue, smiled, and stopped talking.
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside. Aunt Gui came in with a smile, followed by a hotel waiter pushing a cart.
There were steaming dumplings on the cart. It was the first time Aunt Gui met Ye Lan, and Shu Nian introduced them to him. Ye Lan was so sweet.
Aunt Gui served the glutinous rice balls to everyone in the room, "One bowl for each person, a happy reunion. It brings good luck."
Finally, Aunt Gui handed a bowl to Shu Nian and said, "Eat more to fill your stomach. The bride won't be able to eat during the ceremony."
"Hmm." Shu Nian took a sip of the soup.
When she wanted to continue drinking, she felt her stomach churning. Her face turned pale, she handed the bowl to Ye Lan, stood up immediately, and rushed to the bathroom with her wedding dress.
