Although Zhang Man pretended not to care about anything on the surface, she was also rather uninterested in the gift. However, her grip on Chu Yin's arm seemed to have tightened. Chu Yin felt it, but he did not say anything, nor could he say anything.
No one else could sense this kind of superficial harmony, and they also pretended not to know anything. One didn't know what kind of life was good, so he just lived like this. The other clearly knew the truth, but he couldn't let it go, so he kept it a secret and selectively turned a blind eye.
However, you know that wild geese always leave traces when they fly by. It doesn't mean that they don't exist just because you don't want to see them.
When the banquet was coming to an end, Father Chu got a microphone from somewhere. He made sure that everyone at the banquet could hear him and successfully attracted everyone's attention, including Chu Yin, Xu Zi 'ang, and Zhang Man. Then, he smiled knowingly. His dignified voice was filled with love as he slowly said,"Thank you, everyone, for coming to our children's engagement party. The child's mother, in-laws, and I have just discussed it and think that the sixth of next month will be an auspicious day. The two children are already so old and their jobs are stable. We don't want to delay the marriage anymore. The old man said this because he wanted to hear everyone's blessings.”As expected, cheers erupted from the Night Drinking Pavilion. Everyone had a kind smile on their faces. Chu Yin's ears were filled with all kinds of blessings, so much so that he did not know what kind of response he should give. Zhang Man, who was originally pleasantly surprised, turned around and saw Chu Yin. Her expression immediately became much more bitter. She could not help but touch him. Only then did that person come back to his senses. He smiled and even took the initiative to hug her. However, Zhang Man knew that there was no warmth in that kind of hug because there were no stars in Chu Yin's eyes, only coldness and defeat.
Xu Ziang looked at the two people hugging each other in the middle of the banquet and bowed apologetically to the people around him. Finally, he could not stand it anymore. He picked up his bag and left silently without saying goodbye to anyone. He just couldn't bear to watch such a beautiful scene. Since he couldn't give his sincere blessings with a smile, it was better not to be an eyesore here, right?
Thus, in the huge hall and the noisy crowd, Chu Yin could not see any familiar person. Everyone's blessings and teasing were so harsh that even his parents 'loving gazes were somewhat unbearable. He wanted to cry, but he realized that there was someone beside him who needed to lean on his shoulder, so he could only straighten his back in grievance and take all these things that he was unwilling to bear. This was his choice.
Old Fourth and the others wanted to force Chu Yin to drink again and again, but the latter maintained a perfect posture and refused. Then, he led them to his own ideas with a clear mind. In a short while, Old Fourth had almost confessed everything he had. He even swore to lead the way for Chu Yin and the rookie designer. Zhang Man looked at the man beside her who was almost perfect in her heart with some infatuation. From the first time she saw this handsome young man who was filled with a clear aura, she knew that he was not someone ordinary. Even if he did not have money or power now, he would one day be able to stand out. She just did not know if she would still have anything to do with him at that time.
As everyone was chatting, Chu Yin seemed to be a little bored, so he stood up and said that he was going to the bathroom. Before he left, he hesitated for a moment before he quietly picked up the gift. Zhang Man caught a glimpse of it and did not know what to feel. After a while, Chu Yin staggered back. His eyes were slightly red and swollen. The gift in his hand looked like it had been unsealed. Not only had it not been thrown away by the owner, but it had also been carefully placed at the corner of the table.
However, something was wrong with his master. Fourth Brother thought that he had finished talking about serious matters and was ready to have a good drink with his brothers. On the surface, this seemed to be the case. Chu Yin did not refuse any cup of wine, whether it was intentional or kind. He had a posture of not stopping until he was drunk, and he drank and laughed as if he was really happy. Although Zhang Man was persuading him softly at the side, she did not really stop him. She suddenly felt that she had no reason or right to do so.
Because of Chu Yin's cooperation, this banquet could be considered a feast for both the host and the guest.
Zhang Man dragged the drunk Chu Yin to bid farewell to her parents and pulled him into a taxi. She looked at her fiancé who was still holding onto the gift and was unwilling to let go. She did not know what to think. Zhang Man knew that a forced melon would not be sweet, but she was also very confused about her situation. This was because she was not the only one who was twisting the melon. If it was her, she might have given up long ago. Clearly, the person sleeping beside her had twisted the melon the most deeply.
Out of the blue, Zhang Man slowly pried Chu Yin's hand away. The man moaned, turned around, and continued sleeping on the bed. Zhang Man opened the envelope, and photos spilled out one by one. There was only one person in the picture. He was smiling, angry, sunny, and angry. Every single one of them was him. The last photo was of two people kissing with their eyes closed under the fireworks that bloomed all over the sky. The scene was too beautiful, too compatible, and too dazzling. It made Zhang Man's heart ache as if it was being pricked by needles. She flipped to the back of the photo and didn't expect to see a line of strong and powerful words that had been wet by water droplets. Goodbye, Ain. Zhang Man couldn't stop her curiosity, nor could she stop this kind of masochistic behavior. She took out the gift box again and opened the beautifully wrapped brocade box. A simple and elegant watch came into sight. Zhang Man didn't believe that he was so simple, so she took it out and rummaged through it carefully. Finally, she saw a string of small letters in an inconspicuous corner: Aurevoirl 'amour. There was a torn plane ticket hidden in the middle of the brocade box. It was a plane ticket to America tonight. Zhang Man looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already past the security check time. There was a small note under the plane ticket." This is the last time. No matter what your choice is, I will accept it." Zhang Man threw herself onto Chu Yin, who was breathing heavily, with tears in her eyes. She could not hold it in anymore. Her tears finally flowed down. It was not for herself. However, her heart ached for the person on the bed. For some reason, she also sympathized with Lin Xiaoyu who had left alone at this time. He had to use alcohol to numb himself to force himself to ignore the heartbreaking pain. He had clearly torn up the plane ticket, but he could not bear to say goodbye like this, so he hid them like treasures and tasted the pain alone.
Chu Yin moved his arm to cover his face and also to cover the sparkling tears.
