God knows

"Fang Sihua?" The person in the role of teacher politely named Fang Sihua to demonstrate, "Your fiancé...?"

"He still didn't come today, he's busy with work."

"The wedding day is coming soon, remember to call him to practice!" The teacher said very gently, "Then demonstrate..." The men around were a little squirming, but in the end the teacher named Russell.

Is this just right?Or is this a sign of something?

Geoffrey just cut through the crowd and came back to me, and we happened to watch Russell and Fang Sihua dance to the music side by side.Seriously, I'm probably not a tenth as interested in geisha acts as Russell is, but even I'm deeply drawn to this dance.

All emotions are included in it, not just music, dance steps, not turning around, stepping on the spot, but the resonance created by the harmony of the body, the eyes, and the quiet moment are full of words.These may not be the most compatible two people. Speaking of which, Russell and Fang Sihua seem wonderful even as people passing by in each other's lives, but at the most beautiful moment, everything is harmonious and corresponding, and no reason or explanation is needed.

"I said, can I go to the notarization later?"

Jeffrey said in a low voice, admiration loomed in the joking tone.

"Jeffrey, you know what I think about commitments, don't you?"

I said in a low voice, not knowing why I thought of Lisa at this moment.

"She made a promise to another man and then hurt him?" I said, questioning, "Are we going to allow this to happen?"

Jeffrey frowned. "You obviously see love, don't you?"

Phoenix looked up at Jeffrey.

"That's right..."

"If you see love, Ann, believe in love," Jeffrey said, saying words I never imagined coming from him, "All things lie, but your heart doesn't."

"Jeffrey, my heart will remain faithful to myself, but it won't understand or see the cruelty of fate."

It's like I fell in love with someone, but she is in a position that I can't touch, watching me love in vain with the ending of the story.

"It's like when you woke up early in the morning and saw the snow, so you decided not to get up today?" he asked, "Or you don't know what the taste of the food is, so you don't taste it at all?"

"Are you really giving up your right to happiness because fate is cruel and reality is cruel?"

"Injury to another person's happiness?"

After hearing what I said, Jeffrey turned his head and looked at Russell and Fang Sihua who were listening to the teacher's explanation in the middle of the room.

"I know what you are afraid of." Jeffrey said, "If you really think that it is the best result for people who don't love each other to stay together for a lifetime, then you must not be using your brain..."

"...It was inevitable that David would leave Lisa. It doesn't matter whether you are in the middle or not. He doesn't love her. Breaking up is just a matter of time."

I calmed down. Actually, this is a simple fact, but I am only standing in Lisa's perspective, so I can't see the whole picture of things clearly.Phoenix must have seen it very clearly that night, but she didn't tell me the cruel truth at the time of the incident, because she knew that even if I heard it, I wouldn't believe it.

I am sorry.

She said, to me with tears in my eyes, as if it was really her fault.

"sorry."

I looked up to Phoenix.

Maybe I have been her burden from a long time ago—before I fell in love with her—I just realized how tolerant she has been to me all the time, and I feel extremely guilty at this moment.

"no need to say sorry."

She said very calmly, she kept her eyes on me for the first time today, but I still couldn't see any emotion.

"I think I might owe you more someday, and I hope you can say the same if you can."

I couldn't understand, but I felt the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end.I wanted to ask again, but Jeffrey, who couldn't hear Phoenix's voice, entered my conversation again.

"No need to apologize!" he said, pointing at the person in the middle of the room. "Let's fix the problem and fix the mistake!"

My uneasy eyes moved to Phoenix's face, and I asked questions with my eyes.But she looked away and looked at Russell and Fang Sihua in the middle of the room.

"You also understand, true love, but women can't let go of the burden and accept it without hesitation." Phoenix changed the subject, "I think you also know what burden is."

"Fiancé." I turned to Jeffrey, "As long as Fang Sihua can let go of marriage in her heart, she can let love rule everything."

"Then let's enlighten her!" Jeffrey said without any hindrance, making me wonder if there was anything in the world that could stand in his way.

"'Enlightenment'!?" That's a little too easy to say.

"Don't worry!" Jeffrey snorted, "Didn't I convince you just now?"

Anyway, I have no other strategy, so I have no choice but to trust him, right?

"Stay with Russell first! I don't think he would approve of the matter of 'enlightenment'."

Jeffrey said, but he didn't seem conscious at all, and he walked around the crowd and disappeared without a trace after speaking.

"To be honest, I don't recommend this. She is quite disturbed now." Finnis whispered, this afterthought felt deliberately light, which made me feel that she expected my next words.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Anyway, you don't know what to do, do you?"

Yes... that's right.

"The boy looks like he knows what he's doing better than you do." She shrugged.

"But…"

"Where's Xiaojie? Hey, who are you talking to?"

"Jeffrey..." I bit my tongue and faced Russell who was standing in front of me, realizing that I hadn't found a reason to say it at all, "...he said he would look for a drink."

"Oh, Ann, it's not a party, despite the crowds."

I got it.Although I am also looking forward to red wine, yes.

"Russell, will you accept happiness in front of your eyes?"

"Y-yeah." He wasn't sure, "Ann, I'd say 'yes' if you got out of the situation, but after all..."

"If you see love, believe in love..." I copied Jeffrey's words, but the second half of the sentence stopped me, because at that moment I found that Phoenix standing next to Russell seemed different.

…is different, something is missing.

I don’t know if there were too many episodes before, or I was too used to it so I didn’t pay attention. I don’t know when the traces of the pair of wings were missing from Phoenix’s back.

I opened my mouth and didn't know how to say the second part of the sentence to Russell, because I thought about those nights when we were more honest with each other, I would see more of her in the morning, wings, bows, arrows... And now one by one disappears , is it implying...?

"What the hell? What's the point of doing something like this before a wedding?"

There was commotion in the crowd, I gave up thinking and unfinished sentences, and followed the sound with Russell to find the source of the confusion. Finally, I saw Jeffrey standing with an embarrassed expression between Fang Sihua and a man with a sharp sword. between.

"Oh, not good, very bad."

Russell said, with a heavy voice like a boulder rolling from the top of a mountain.

"...Obviously my fiancé is here today."
