quietly in love with you

Chapter 1 Honey Turned into Trouble (1)
Lin Jiaqi threw the two paper bags in front of Fang Qiaoqiao, and raised her chin: "Battle clothes." I was stunned for three seconds before realizing the meaning of the word "battle clothes".I imagined the scene of the crow flying over my head and called "quack", and I stretched out my hand to push the bag away: "Lin Jiaqi, you are crazy!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I regretted it, didn't I, since I knew Lin Jiaqi, she has been crazy.

Lin Jiaqi gave me a sneer smile, which is the smile that bad girls in TV dramas have when they think of tricks to deal with the heroine. She opened a paper bag and pulled out a big and square black box from it: "Yes, I am crazy .I want to let the couple know that I am not easy to mess with. I am a crazy person!" Opening the box, peeling off the backing paper, I looked over, it was a light pink dress, and retracted my head: "I said no go."

Just kidding, although I think that I have fought thousands of rounds in the workplace like a battlefield over the years, and I have already trained my indestructible body, but it is still a bit difficult for me to attend the wedding of my ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend... Besides After all, it is a good day for people to get married. God has the virtue of good life, so I'd better not destroy it.

However, when the thought turned to this point, someone punched my heart hard, causing a dull pain.Two weeks ago, I received an invitation card from Yao Yinzhu. The big red invitation card with gilt characters was festive and not tacky.The names of Wu Jianyu and Yao Yinzhu were filled in the positions of the bride and groom with black pen, which stung me accurately.

At that time, Lin Jiaqi was cutting nails next to me. After seeing the invitation, she waved her small nail clippers and greeted Wu Jianyu and Yao Yinzhu's [-]th generation. Her trick is to push me to the door.

For two weeks I have been trying to make myself forget about it.Busy in the company during the day without any spare time, drink a glass of whiskey at night, and go to bed early to avoid dreaming about things that should be forgotten.

But Lin Jiaqi didn't give me the chance to be a coward.

Jiaqi poked her finger over and almost knocked me off the sofa: "Fang Qiaoqiao, did you make a mistake? Now that someone has made the gauntlet first, you actually want to be a coward? I heard that Yao Yinzhu has already Spread the word that she also sent you an invitation, if you want everyone to see your jokes, don't go!"

"It's also a joke for people to see." I murmured softly.Abandoned by her boyfriend and pried into a corner by her best friend, it doesn't seem like something glorious to show off, does it?My self-esteem is too fragile, and I don't want to face those pity eyes.

"Of course not!" Jiaqi was so excited that she pulled me up from the sofa, and the poor me was "carried" to the full-length mirror like a puppet: "Look, look at yourself now! Fang quietly You are no longer the village girl you were three years ago!"

"Hey!" I hurriedly protested, what is that village girl from three years ago!Three years ago, I was just plain and didn’t know how to dress up, okay?Basically the same as most college girls, how can they be called village girls!
Jiaqi ignored my protest at all, and was still immersed in her impassioned speech: "Look at this small face, such a small figure, and such a small temperament! You must go to the wedding of Wu Jianyu and Yao Yinzhu. , must be seen by everyone in C University, let the man who blinded his titanium alloy dog ​​eyes see how he lost a big watermelon and picked up a rotten sesame..."

"All right, all right, Lin Jiaqi!" I felt that if she didn't say anything to stop her, maybe Lin Jiaqi would say something that made me have three slashes on my forehead. Regarding her language ability, I really admire her. The Chinese teacher shed tears of sympathy - how did I become a big watermelon?
It's a pity that Lin Jiaqi misunderstood the meaning of this sentence, and her eyes lit up in an instant: "Oh, it would be great if I agreed so happily earlier, it's a waste of my time! Come and see the jewelry I prepared for you, C&V The latest design is not available on the market at all...I borrowed it from J after all the trouble!"

C&V is the jewelry company Lin Jiaqi and I work for now, we are both in the design department, she is the assistant of the chief designer J, and I am just a handyman.

"Borrowing unreleased products from the company, isn't that bad?" I was worried, but in the next second, the black velvet box was opened, and a pair of rose gold and diamond-encrusted heart-shaped earrings lay there quietly—
"J's latest design, this is just a sample." Jiaqi turned the box in her hand so that the sunlight would shine on the diamond, refracting the bright light, "This is the only one in the world."

Her voice was deep and seductive, and for just a moment, my heart was moved.I'm not going to a wedding, I just want to wear this beautiful piece of art.I comfort myself like this from the bottom of my heart.

The so-called taxi is a magical existence that you will see it running all over the street when you don't need it, but you can't stop one when you need it.

It is already 01:30 in the afternoon, and the wedding time is 02:30 in the afternoon. It takes at least four and 10 minutes to take a taxi from here to the wedding venue, and the time is already a little tight.So, dressed up in an elegant evening gown, I could only lift my skirt and stand on tiptoe, stretch my neck and look forward in an ungraceful manner, while praying in my heart for God to give me a taxi.

Originally, Jiaqi was going to drive me, so as not to die, but the car was sent to the repair shop the day before!In this rainy weather, I was wearing a dress and baring most of my shoulders to hail taxis on the street.Because of this, my heart became a little uneasy, and I always felt that something unexpected would happen today.

As soon as this idea landed, an accident happened——
"Ah!" With a scream, I even wanted to die.A Porsche quietly slid past me, splashing the stagnant water on the ground, and the pink dress immediately became a splashed ink painting.Then, I stepped back in a hurry, and my feet stopped—the heel of the shoe was embedded in the sewer cover, and with a "click", it broke!

What does it mean to cry without tears!This is called crying without tears!

I just bought these shoes, and they were only borrowed by Lin Jiaqi to wear them once!Damn Lin Jiaqi, what did you do to my shoes!one!Certainly!want!she!pay!

The owner of the Porsche got out of the car in a hurry. He was a handsome young man with a beige shirt and suit trousers. "Excuse me, miss, are you okay?" The beige shirt asked formulaically.

How could it be all right!I was angry: "Sir, don't you have eyes? How can I look okay now?" The skirt is full of stains, and one heel is still stuck on the sewer cover and cannot be pulled out. Is it okay?

The other party frowned, and said in a cold and polite voice, "I'm really sorry." He bent down, and I was so scared that I quickly stepped back, but one foot was stuck there, and I lost my balance when I stepped back, and I almost fell backwards .Fortunately, the beige shirt pulled me in time, so I stepped on my other free foot and stepped on his black leather shoes smoothly.

Time seemed to freeze for three seconds.I moved my feet off his shoes embarrassingly, blushed and squeezed out a sentence: "Tit for tat." Then I raised my head slightly and gazed at the gray sky affectionately.The beige shirt didn't speak, and lightly grabbed the high heels stuck there to save my feet, then stood up and took out a business card from his pocket: "This is my business card, I will pay for the clothes and shoes. "

pay?Of course he has to pay!But now I want to go to the wedding in such an embarrassing state, this embarrassment, can he afford it!Thinking of the wedding, I hurriedly took out my mobile phone and checked the time - 45:[-]!If you don't go, you will be late!Just in time, a taxi stopped in front of him. I didn't want to bother with the man anymore, I reached out and snatched the business card, and hurried into the car.

Tell the driver the destination, the taxi speeds up, I exhale, and carefully look at the business card in my hand——
"Su Yuncheng."

This person was also surprised that there was no company or position written on the business card, except for his name and contact information.But judging by his dress and conversation, and that expensive Porsche, he should at least be a senior executive of some small company.

The contact information on the business card is a series of mobile phone numbers. The business cards of the company's top executives will not only have one style. For some official communication, they will usually hand over business business cards. The mailbox, and the one with my mobile phone number printed on it is a personal business card.

However, I will never really ask others to pay for her dress and shoes, and I am not a person who pays for every penny.Thinking of this, he casually stuffed the business card into his small bag.

Alas, the troublesome thing now is how to deal with the stains on the skirt.I really don't know what kind of bad things I did in my previous life, and I will be played by God in this life.

When I arrived at the hotel, I hurriedly found the dressing room, and tried to wipe off the stains on the dress with a paper towel dipped in water.The dress was smooth satin, and the mud and water had penetrated. Although most of it was wiped off, there were still faint traces printed on the tender pink skirt, like a badly painted light-color splash-ink landscape painting.

Sighing helplessly, he tugged at the skirt, and tried to cover the stain with his hands, but it felt like there was no silver 300 taels here.Had to give up temporarily.Reluctantly, he took off his shoes and looked at the heel. Fortunately, it was only a little cracked, and if he was careful, it would not break.It's getting late, so let's go show your face early and leave—I originally came to "demonstrate" and "provoke", but I didn't expect to be reduced to "disgrace"!
With a long sigh, I tried to smile in the mirror.

In the back garden of Guanghua Hotel, the wedding has already begun.When I arrived, the bride was walking slowly down the aisle with the help of her father, and the groom was waiting on the stage.

The garden is huge, and I stand at the entrance, far away from the stage.

The sun was shining brightly, and the faces of the bride and groom appeared blurred and out of focus under the bright sunlight.There was brisk music playing at the wedding, the surroundings were bustling, the atmosphere was joyful and enthusiastic, and no one noticed me.

There was a chill all over my body, and I suddenly regretted today's decision.It’s like being selected by a teacher to participate in a recitation competition when I was a child. I thought I had memorized all the manuscripts at home, and I had done countless mental construction. When I was there, I still found that my feet were shaking.

I thought I could already face such a scene, but the moment I saw Wu Jianyu and Yao Yinzhu, I still found that my feet were shaking.

"Quietly." Just as I was hesitating whether to go in, a purple figure appeared behind her at some point.I was caught off guard, and the smile on my face didn't have time to show the best arc: "Lin Lei, long time no see."

When I was in college, I, Lin Jiaqi, Yao Yinzhu and Lin Lei were all at the radio station.At that time, I was not sociable—or, I just couldn’t learn the skill of being in harmony with each other, and I couldn’t be affectionate to everyone, just like girlfriends, I only got close to people who had the same smell as me, such as Lin Jiaqi.So Lin Lei and I are not close, but Yao Yinzhu has a special ability to make everyone befriend her, as close as if they have known each other for many years.And after that incident, I quit the radio station.At that time, except Lin Jiaqi and I withdrew "with the same hatred", no one spoke for her.It was also at that time that I realized that my popularity was so bad.

The past flashed across my mind in a hurry, and Lin Lei was already holding my hand affectionately: "Quietly, I thought you weren't coming." She said as she dragged me towards the stage.

To be honest, I'm really not used to Lin Lei's warm attitude towards me. At the radio station, when Yao Yinzhu and I hadn't broken our faces because of her intervening in the relationship between me and Wu Jianyu, Lin Lei loved me. Ignore it, sneer at it.So at the moment her attitude like this just makes me feel creepy.I instinctively tried to free my hand from her claws, but it was in vain.

What the master of ceremonies were saying on the stage, before I had time to listen carefully, Lin Lei had already pushed him off the stage, and many familiar faces came into view one by one, most of them were colleagues from the radio station in the past, or Wu Jianyu's friend.

"Quiet, you're here." Everyone greeted one after another, smiling, but their eyes flickered, and said, "Qiqui, you are much prettier." Most of them knew the past when Yao Yinzhu's mistress was in charge, and seeing me now seemed like Some surprise and embarrassment, I can't find anything to say.

I just smiled and pretended to respond enthusiastically.It has been more than three years, and I have been struggling in the workplace, and I am no longer the unsociable Fang Qiaoqiao.

On the stage, Yao Yinzhu and Wu Jianyu were already standing side by side.The master of ceremonies signaled everyone to be quiet.So I took the opportunity to sit down and make myself less conspicuous.

Lin Lei also sat down beside me.

Yao Yinzhu was beautiful when she was in college, and she was once selected as the flower of the radio station. Today, she is even more beautiful in a white gauze dress.The sunshine in the late spring and early summer shone on the white wedding dress, and behind her was a large area of ​​pink balloons, making everything look like a fairy tale, and she was the princess who "lived happily" with the prince at the end in the fairy tale.

The music started, and a pre-recorded video began to play on the big screen at the side of the stage.

In the film, the campus of University C appeared.

On the familiar road, the camphor trees on both sides are as high as four or five storeys, blocking the sunlight.

In the picture, there is a scene of Wu Jianyu riding a bicycle and carrying Yao Yinzhu.The blue and white Giant, which is quietly familiar, is moving further and further away on the screen.

The wind blew Yao Yinzhu's long chestnut hair up, she turned her head and smiled at the camera.

The voice of the narration is gentle and magnetic, and it is slowly telling a story about a pair of college students’ romantic love and acquaintance, but I can’t listen to anything. All I can do is pretend that none of this has anything to do with me.

This trick is indeed brilliant.

I thought that when Yao Yinzhu invited me, she would organize her group of good girlfriends to ridicule her, and would do something to make me look ugly in front of the guests, just like the scenes that would appear in those vulgar Taiwanese idol dramas.

But Yao Yinzhu didn't do that.

She was smart enough to invite me to the table like a guest of honor, to sit with all the people who knew the grievances between the three of us. However, playing such a video put me in the most embarrassing situation.

The scene changed to the radio station, and it was a scene I was familiar with.It turned out that most of the members of the radio station who were at the same time as me and Yao Yinzhu made friendly appearances, interpreting the ordinary days of a radio station.On the screen, Yao Yinzhu had just finished the broadcast, and after receiving the jasmine tea that Wu Jianyu handed over in time, there was ambiguous laughter from around, and the expressions of the two were shy and sweet.

My eyes were always focused on the painting on the wall of the radio station.I remembered that this painting had been hanging on the wall since I first entered the radio station more than six years ago, and it has not been changed for so many years.

The film ended at the scene where the two were looking at each other. The master of ceremonies asked the groom to give a speech. I didn't listen carefully, only the last sentence caught my ears: "She is the only person I have ever loved in this life. Did not pass by true love."

In an instant, there seemed to be a slight breaking sound in my heart that had been stubborn for three years.

It turns out that the most tragic thing is to hear the other party admit his true love, not you.It turns out that the most tragic thing is that you finally have to admit that the time you spent with him is just a fleeting cloud to him, not worth remembering.

Then, the master of ceremonies on the stage invited guests to perform, while Yao Yinzhu and Wu Jianyu walked off the stage hand in hand, toasting relatives and friends at each table one by one.The guests who had not yet had their turn started to eat first.

The table I am sitting at is full of college alumni, most of whom have graduated for three or four years. Although they are in the same city on weekdays, they are busy with work and have little chance to meet each other. It is rare to meet them once. They all regard the wedding as an alumni association and talk about it. It's all fun and scandals from when everyone was at school.

I was always the unobtrusive one at college parties.Back then I wasn't pretty and I wasn't very sociable.But now it is a little different. In Lin Jiaqi's words, "I am no longer the village girl who can't dress up three years ago", and she has become the focus of everyone's discussion.

"Quiet, I haven't seen you for a few years, why have you changed so much!" A woman said enviously, "You have become so beautiful!"

A man interrupted: "What does it mean to be so beautiful! Quietly, I used to be pretty, but I don't know how to dress myself up, right!" His conclusion was echoed by several men: "Yes, but I used to be pretty. I think it’s good for a girl to be so clean!”

"But it's better to dress like this now! Haha!"

I knew in my heart that this was flattery, but I was too happy to expose it. I raised my wine glass and made a modest respect to the man: "Where, I'm still a village girl, so I can't make it to the stage!" I glanced at Lin Lei out of the corner of my eye. No hesitation, knowing that she was mad at me for becoming so popular, so she smiled even more winkingly, which attracted those men to raise their glasses and clink each other again and again.

Lin Lei's face became more and more ugly, and I could feel the undisguised jealousy of two sharp eyes "swish" and dug two big holes in my body, and I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.

At this time, Yao Yinzhu walked towards us gracefully with Wu Jianyu on his arm.Wu Jianyu seemed to have discovered me at this moment, his expression suddenly twisted, as if he was choking on a piece of cake in his throat.

As the saying goes, wine is strong and courageous. I silently drank the glass of red wine in my hand, and then stood up with everyone.Yao Yinzhu greeted everyone enthusiastically: "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my wedding." She toasted everyone, and finally she set her eyes on me.Yao Yinzhu raised his glass: "Quietly, thank you for coming."

Her expression was sincere and her tone was sincere, but as soon as she said the words, the surrounding atmosphere became a little awkward.After chatting just now, the atmosphere has tended to be harmonious, and everyone has forgotten the entanglements in the past, but Yao Yinzhu deliberately thanked me in this way, which reminded them of that period of history.
