A gust of sea breeze blew, and water foam mixed in the air, wetting Lai Yang's face, and also seemed to wet Yuan Shengda's eyes.
She rubbed her eyes and suddenly laughed slyly.
"Hahaha! I was just teasing you. Look how scared you are!"
She slapped Lai Yang on the shoulder. It seemed that the joke must be very funny, otherwise why would she laugh until tears came out.
"Don't worry, even if you break up with Jingjing, I won't choose you, and you won't choose me either, right... I'm not that stupid to hang myself on a tree."
"hehe… "
Lai Yang didn't know what to say except for a few dry laughs.
He turned his head to look at the sea. At this time, waves were rising on the sea surface, blowing onto the beach in layers, smoothing the sand surface and then quickly retreating.
Yuan Shengda's voice continued to ring in my ears: "Alu is very good to me, really very good. I should be happy, right?"
Laiyang leaned back a little, resting his hands on the sofa: "Well, my parents mentioned you when I went home."
"What did you say about me?" Yuan Sheng laughed and tilted his head.
"Just wishing you the best. Oh, by the way, have you chosen a location for the engagement? October 10th is a good date, so the hotel needs to be booked in advance."
Lai Yang and Yuan Shengda looked at each other, her smile froze, and the whistling sea breeze blew her hair, proving that this was not a static picture.
After a moment, she suddenly changed the subject.
"Xu Mo has been in a bad state recently. Do you know what happened between her and Li Dian?"
Lai Yang was stunned for a few seconds, then followed her and said, "I heard from Li Dian that he was planning to break up. He doesn't like Xu Mo."
"Li Dian is such a scumbag! He was dating her first, but now he says he doesn't like her anymore!"
Hearing the word "scumbag", Lai Yang licked his lips and said, "Not really, at least he didn't do anything to Xu Mo, they didn't even hold hands a few times."
"Isn't he still a scumbag? This is not a matter of holding hands. He gave someone the spark of love, but then mercilessly extinguished it. Such men are scumbags! How can there be such a scumbag around me!?"
"Well… "
Lai Yang knew that she was making a veiled accusation.
"I ran into Xu Mo before I came here. She cried for a long time. I felt that she was attracted to Li Dian, and she could also sense Li Dian's sudden indifference. Tell me, why are some women so miserable? Why?"
"Maybe I let someone down in my previous life, so my life is going to be rough in this one."
Yuan Shengda glared at him fiercely: "So you mean she deserves it?"
"No, no, I just want to say that karma goes round and round, and she will definitely be happy in her next life."
Yuan Shengda glared at him as if he was a fool.
"So what exactly did Li Dian think? I don't believe he didn't tell you."
"I told you, he seems to have a crush on someone in our theater."
"ah?"
Yuan Shengda was shocked and said, "Could it be... Qianying? I see she's been very close to Gao Yunjian recently. Is Li Dian jealous?"
"It's possible, but I remember he seemed to say that the woman was married. Could it be..."
"What a beast! Yunlu is Song Wen's woman, why does he like someone else's wife?"
Lai Yang's mouth opened and closed. He remembered that Li Dian seemed to have mentioned the word "marriage", but he seemed to have forgotten the details.
In the end, this topic became a task. Yuan Shengda asked Lai Yang and Li Dian to come and get to the bottom of it!
…
In the evening, Jiaqi was in much better condition, but she still chattered non-stop during dinner.
After dinner, everyone vacated a few rooms to prepare for the arrival of everyone tomorrow. This time, Lai Yang was really grateful to Li Liangxin and began to treat him as a brother from the bottom of his heart.
After Yuan Shengda and Jiaqi went back to the house to rest, Lai Yang sat with him in the yard, looking at the moonlight faintly reflected on the flowers and plants. Lai Yang pinched off a withered leaf and said.
"How did Jiaqi's father die?"
Li Liangxin took a puff of cigarette, looked at Lai Yang in surprise for a few seconds, and said, "Something happened at the mine and they were buried underground. When they were dug out, they were already dead."
Lai Yang frowned, said "oh" and asked why Jiaqi said someone beat his father when he had an attack
These words made Li Liangxin's hand holding the cigarette tremble. He flicked the ash and said with a sigh.
"I've heard her say that, but no one knows the details. That night, her father took her to live in a tin house at the construction site. It was around 11 o'clock in the middle of the night. It seemed that something happened at the mine, and then her father went to check, and the accident happened."
Lai Yang took a puff of cigarette and Li Liangxin continued.
"Then... she was so shocked that she fell into a coma. When she woke up, she was like this. Later, the mine compensated her with some money, and the other party had connections, so the matter was left unresolved. Later, the money was basically used to treat Jiaqi's medical treatment, but brain nerve disease is a bottomless pit. No matter how much money is put into it, it won't make a ripple. So now she can only take some suppressant drugs."
The topic was a bit heavy, and Li Liangxin obviously didn't want to continue, so he got up and went to rest after he finished speaking.
After he left, Lai Yang smoked another cigarette.
, looking at the night sky full of stars, one can’t help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart.
Zhoushan is simply picturesque, but in this picturesque place, there are still countless broken families and painful dreams.
Even a girl like Jiaqi is not immune. It seems that life is really a painful practice.
Therefore, living in the present is the most meaningful thing.
…
After midnight, Lai Yang received WeChat messages of blessings from everyone in the theater, even Yuan Shengda, who had returned to his room early, sent a blessing.
Lai Yang knew that the reason why everyone in the theater remembered their birthday was entirely because of Yuan Shengda's reminder.
Meeting this childhood friend in this life feels like I saved the galaxy in my previous life.
After replying to the messages one by one, Lai Yang felt a little lonely again. He knew that Tian Jing couldn't possibly know his birthday, and he also knew that he had blocked her.
But in this deep night, Lai Yang still inexplicably expected a miracle to happen.
Although it sounds shameless to think this way, who can suppress the thoughts in my heart
In the end, he could only fall asleep in reality. Even in his dreams, he did not see the woman with the scent of white magnolia...
…
At noon the next day, everyone except Hu Zi and Xu Mo arrived. At the same time, Qianying also came with Gao Yunjian.
Li Dian even bought a cake and Li Liangxin ordered barbecue and beer. In this small courtyard, everyone helped Lai Yang celebrate his 27th birthday.
Jiaqi was very happy. She let others touch the cake while sucking her fingers.
After a period of wild fun, Song Wen deliberately dragged Lai Yang into the house, asking him to take him to the toilet. However, as soon as he entered the house, he spoke with a gloomy expression.
"Brother Yang, let me tell you something. I ran into Ms. Tian in the neighborhood the night before last... She stood at your door for a long time, and then sat in the yard for more than half an hour before leaving. And I saw her crying."
Lai Yang's heart skipped a beat, and the feeling of carnival just now suddenly disappeared.
Song Wen took out his cell phone and opened a photo. It was taken when Lai Yang and he went to try on the groom's suit.
They made wishes to each other that day. Song Wen said he would be nice to Yunlu, and Lai Yang said he would pursue Tianjing.
"Brother Yang, you must still remember this photo, I won't say anything more, I just want to remind you that even if you and Ms. Tian don't get along, she has helped you so many times, you shouldn't treat her like this. You didn't see that she lost a lot of weight in just a few days, I feel so sad for her, really..."
