Get Married - Chap 28
Xin Rong’s first reaction was not to look at the woman who appeared suddenly, but to look at Shao Chengyun first according to instinct.
Compared with the surprise and surprise shown by the other party, Shao Chengyun’s reaction was almost calm. Such a reunion after a long absence did not make him show any look of surprise.
Sitting in the chair, he turned his head to look at the hand on his shoulder, then looked up, smiled a little, and said, “What a coincidence, Weiwei. Why are you in France recently?”
It was just a simple greeting, but Xin Rong could still hear a slight difference in tone.
He quickly passed a thought in his mind: it should be the ex, right? There is no evil kind. Because when Shao Chengyun called the other party “Weiwei”, there seemed to be a little inadvertent tenderness.
After saying this, Shao Chengyun put down the wine glass in his hand, and then stood up.
A very visually impactful picture unfolded before Xin Rong’s eyes.
The man is undoubtedly tall and handsome, and the woman standing next to him is full of elegance. Shao Chengyun once dated Luo Weiqi, who was from a similar family background, for two years in college, and was also elected as King and Queen at the college ball together. He was recognized as the most outstanding lover among those classmates.
Unfortunately, on the eve of graduation, they chose to break up peacefully.
Xin Rong had known Shao Chengyun for too short a time, so of course she didn’t know about this relationship.
But this kind of drama of encountering her ex on the most anticipated date has already cooled Xin Rong’s little heart that was just overflowing with happiness.
When he looked up at Luo Weiqi, Luo Weiqi was also looking at him.
Women are always very observant in certain aspects, and Luo Weiqi first noticed a ring on Xin Rong’s left ring finger.
She smiled and said to Shao Chengyun, “I have been in Paris for the last half month”, while looking at Shao Chengyun’s left hand – the knuckles are slender and strong, without any restraint.
Shao Chengyun didn’t intend to reminisce with Luo Weiqi in front of Xin Rong, he tilted his head and asked Luo Weiqi, “Can you have a drink?”
There is a relatively independent bar area on the first floor of this castle restaurant. After hearing this, Luo Weiqi did not refuse, but still smiled and said, “Okay.”
So Shao Chengyun turned to Xin Rong and said, “My friend and I will chat downstairs for a while. Don’t wait for the food to be served, eat first.”
Xin Rong didn’t seem to be surprised by this arrangement, she nodded silently and accepted, and watched them go down the stairs, but the small crack in her heart was expanding inch by inch.
——Shao Chengyun didn’t even introduce himself to the other party, Xin Rong thought a little self-deprecatingly. Maybe you think you can’t get it out?
Later, the waiter came two more times and served all the dishes. Xin Rong didn’t have much appetite either, so she drank half a glass of red wine by herself, and looked at the photos on her phone for a while.
Just when he lowered his head and was fascinated by the video of Shao Chengyun driving, someone rubbed the back of his neck suddenly, followed by a man’s steady voice, “Didn’t you say don’t wait, why don’t you eat?”
Xin Rong suddenly realized that people walking from behind should be able to watch what was playing on his mobile phone, so he immediately put the phone down, turned his head, and smiled nonchalantly, “It’s okay, I’m not hungry yet. ”
Luo Weiqi came back with Shao Chengyun. Standing beside Shao Chengyun, she smiled at Xin Rong in a friendly manner, but said to Shao Chengyun, “Why don’t you introduce us?”
Shao Chengyun also followed her intentions, looked at Xin Rong in his eyes, and introduced two words lightly, “Xin Rong.” When Xin Rong got up, he said, “Luo Weiqi, my junior in college, our two parents also They’re all friends.”
When Shao Chengyun introduced herself, Luo Weiqi extended her hand to Xin Rong.
The boy looked a little embarrassed, but he shook Luo Weiqi’s hand politely, and said to her, “Hello.”
Luo Weiqi was much more calm, and said to Xin Rong unhurriedly, “Congratulations. Cheng Yun is sometimes quite frank and machismo, but there are many people who like him, both of the opposite sex. Together with him Life may be a little harder, you have to be more tolerant.”
Shao Chengyun listened from the side, and smiled helplessly, but he did not refute Luo Weiqi’s evaluation. It can be seen that they are friends who have known each other for many years, and they are familiar enough to make some harmless jokes, and the other party will not mind.
On the contrary, Xin Rong, who was standing in front of them, looked like an insignificant outsider who couldn’t find his proper position. Xin Rong couldn’t take what Luo Weiqi said, and she didn’t dare to take it casually.
He glanced at Shao Chengyun begging for help, and the man finally reached out to grab him from the position facing Luo Weiqi, and stood behind him, and then said to Luo Weiqi, “Can you leave it to me to teach children? ?”
Luo Weiqi was about the same age as him, and was almost ten years older than Xin Rong. She was quite surprised to hear Shao Chengyun call Xin Rong a “little friend”.
Just now downstairs, Shao Chengyun and her briefly mentioned about the marriage agreement. Luo Weiqi originally thought that the relationship between the two was based on money. I also saw it, and now I heard Shao Chengyun call Xin Rong “little friend”, and I have never heard him call someone else that way before.
Luo Weiqi weighed it in her heart, and felt that these two people were interesting. It’s tense on the surface, but secretly there is a feeling of two-way.
After all, Luo Weiqi is someone who has been there before, and the two years of dating with Shao Chengyun were not in vain, and she knows what is going on with this man too well.
She didn’t respond to Shao Chengyun’s words, but instead said something to Xin Rong, “If you can’t forgive in the end, then don’t forgive, and withdraw as soon as possible. Stop the loss in time, and don’t take the whole person into it.”
After speaking, he smiled and blinked at Xin Rong, and didn’t say anything else. If I talk too much, I’m afraid it will ruin Shao Chengyun’s affairs.
In fact, Luo Weiqi’s intentions were good, not to mention that she was already engaged, and her past relationship had long been overturned. She and Shao Chengyun were just relatives and friends who knew each other well. But she could see very clearly that the infatuation in Xin Rong’s eyes was just at the time, when he was in the state of liking someone very energetic at the beginning, and Shao Chengyun seemed to be happy to see it come true.
If this continues, Xin Rong will definitely be injured. The severity of the injury depends on how much Shao Chengyun’s conscience is left, and whether he is willing to respond to his sincerity.
Luo Weiqi admitted that she probably had a little empathy effect, and looking at Xin Rong inevitably reminded her of her former self. So she pretended to be joking, and tactfully gave Xin Rong a little advice, and then said to Shao Chengyun, “Then I won’t disturb your dinner. Remember to say hello to my uncle and aunt when you go back.”
Shao Chengyun looked at her and said expressionlessly, “Just what I said to you today, I will definitely not remember to take it with me when I go back.”
Luo Weiqi laughed happily after hearing this, patted Shao Chengyun on the shoulder, and was about to go back to her own table.
She came to Disney with two best friends today. The best friends flew to Paris from China to attend her engagement banquet. Luo Weiqi tried her best to receive them well and took them out to visit the attractions.
Although Shao Chengyun didn’t speak well of her, he still behaved like a gentleman. He accompanied Luo Weiqi back to the table where she sat with her best friend, and greeted the two girls. Xin Rong continued to eat.
During the entire meal that followed, Shao Chengyun didn’t take the initiative to mention Luo Weiqi’s matter again, and Xin Rong didn’t ask any more questions.
Luo Weiqi and her friends were sitting at a table not far from them, and it was always impolite to discuss people behind their backs.
Xin Rong didn’t know whether the relationship between Shao Chengyun and Luo Weiqi was limited to ordinary friends, but the few words of advice Luo Weiqi gave had meaning. Xin Rong was distracted frequently while eating, and couldn’t help pondering over and over again.
Later, when paying the bill, Shao Chengyun asked the waiter to bring over the list from Luo Weiqi’s table and buy it together.
Xin Rong watched him doing all this with ease, and couldn’t help thinking, a man who knows how to be considerate at the right time, pays the bill in private, but won’t show that he is attracted to anyone, should attract many admirers as Luo Weiqi said?
Since Xin Rong has already become one of many admirers, it is difficult to come up with an objective answer.
But he has to admit that a person who loves no one is indeed attractive. Because there will always be someone coveting his stingy love in his heart, unrealistically expecting himself to be the lucky one.
–
Because of this chance meeting in the restaurant, and because of Luo Weiqi’s meaningful words, Xin Rong’s mood was inevitably affected, and her interest in playing was not as good as before.
There were still a few hours before the park closed, and he stopped running around leading Shao Chengyun, and only queued up to play two games near the restaurant. What made him happiest during this period was taking a few group photos with a staff member pretending to be a Winnie the Pooh. This was the only photo that Xin Rong asked Shao Chengyun to take for him.
It was nearly nine o’clock in the evening, before the fireworks closed, Xin Rong proposed to leave. They will fly back to China tomorrow morning, so they should return to the hotel earlier to rest.
Shao Chengyun knew why he was depressed, so he didn’t say anything, but just asked him, “Don’t you watch the fireworks in the closed garden?”
Xin Rong folded up the map and nodded, “Well, it will take at least half an hour to drive back to the hotel. Let’s go out early so as not to leave in line with other tourists.”
It is reasonable to say that fireworks seem to be less important, and Shao Chengyun has no better reason to persuade him to stay. When returning along the road, they passed by a brightly lit souvenir shop. Shao Chengyun insisted on going in and bought a Winnie the Pooh doll for Xin Rong, then came out with a gift bag and stuffed it into his hand, saying, “If you like it, buy one as a souvenir. ”
Xin Rong carried the bag, removed the wrapping paper covering it, looked at the short-browed and small-eyed Winnie the Pooh in the bag, and smiled naively at herself. He looked down for a while, even though there were still some emotions in his heart that he hadn’t digested, he finally couldn’t help but also smiled.
On the way back to the hotel, Shao Chengyun was still driving, and Xin Rong sat in the passenger seat with the Winnie the Pooh in his arms.
With soothing music playing in the background, the castles and colorful lights in the fairy tale world gradually disappeared in the rearview mirror after driving for a while away from the park.
Shao Chengyun spoke first, “Go to sleep for a while”, he said to Xin Rong, “I’ll call you when we get to the hotel.”
Xin Rong didn’t want to sleep, and the time alone with Shao Chengyun was limited, he wished he could be awake every minute.
“It’s okay, I’m not sleepy.” He said, scratching the little bear’s head with his hand, “I’ll help you see the way.”
Shao Chengyun didn’t say anything. There was an unembarrassed silence between the two of them.
After driving on the expressway, Xin Rong suddenly asked, “The girl we met today…have you dated?”
Shao Chengyun knew that this question must have been brewing in his heart for a long time, and he didn’t intend to hide anything. He said truthfully, “She was my girlfriend in college.”——it was also the only relationship Shao Chengyun had ever had a serious relationship with.
Xin Rong hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then asked, “She seems…to be a good match for you, why did you break up?”
After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Shao Chengyun, and said, “It’s not polite for me to ask such a question, you don’t have to say it.”
