Wang Yifan didn't want to go home at first. He wanted to go back to the army. He was very grateful to the army for nurturing him and letting him go to military school. However, his father called to say that his mother was not in good health. After the holidays, he hurriedly said goodbye to Cui Jian and stepped on the bus home.
Although their home in the provincial capital was not far, only more than 70 kilometers away, Wang Yifan, who was sitting in the car, felt that the road was too long, too long, so long that he did not know if he should really set foot on the road home. When Wang Yifan returned home, he saw his mother sitting in the courtyard of his house, busy preparing for the New Year. Just as Wang Yifan was feeling puzzled, his father, Wang Yonglu, returned.
"Dad, why did you lie to me? Isn't my mom fine?”
"Your mother is fine. If I didn't say that, would you have come back? Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Qi Miao is getting married. I know you don't want to come back, but what if you don't? No matter what, you have to go and wear your military uniform. Let others see that it's not Qi Miao who doesn't want you anymore. You're the one who doesn't want Qi Miao anymore. You have to work hard for me and your mother, don't you know?”His mother also chimed in.
Wang Yifan knew that at this moment, it was unnecessary for him to say a word. His father asked him to come back to give him face. He should have thought of this long ago. What could he do? On one side was his parents, and on the other side was his ex-wife. Although he was going to marry someone else now, he did not feel good about it. However, his parents had their reasons for doing so.
Their son had become an officer and was proud of himself. However, the daughter-in-law they had been engaged to since he was young was pregnant and married someone else. This made the old couple unable to lift their heads in the village. Therefore, no matter what, they let their son come back and wear military uniform to attend the wedding. In order to fulfill his parents 'wishes.
Early the next morning, Wang Yifan rode his father's motorcycle to the county town to attend Qi Miao's wedding. Qi Miao's wedding was nothing special. It was just that it looked very grand. Perhaps Qi Miao's father wanted to make up for his daughter's debt! It was just like all the people in the countryside who got married. The only difference was that Qi Miao got married with a big belly. When he knew that Wang Yifan was coming today, although Wu Bing had a smile on his face, he was not unhappy. A few days ago, he only heard that Wang Yifan was coming, but he did not expect Wang Yifan to really come. Although he looked unhappy, he still had to socialize. When Wu Bing and Wang Yifan held hands, the two men were secretly competing and communicating with each other.
Of course, the happiest person today was Qi Miao's father. He didn't expect Wang Yifan to come. He only told Wang Yifan's father, Wang Yonglu, that if Yifan was free, he could come over and treat it as his sister's wedding. He didn't expect Wang Yifan to come instead of the old couple. He was smart, so how could he not know what Wang Yonglu had planned for him? Since Wang Yifan was here, he had to act like an elder. Otherwise, he would be laughed at by others.
"Yifan, you're on vacation. Uncle went to the provincial capital a while ago and said that he would visit you at your school.”
"Uncle, although our school is in the provincial capital, it's not as remote as our county. If you want to come next time, just give me a call. I'll tell you how to get there.”
"Alright, it's a deal. Uncle has never seen what a military school is like in his life. How is it? You're still adapting, right? I mean, you're in the military school."
"Everything's fine. Is it the same? Military schools weren't like the military. They were less strict in terms of management. Every day, they just had to study, train, eat, and sleep. There's nothing to melt."
"Is that so? Then you'll have to return to the army in two years. This time, you'll probably be given an official position. It won't be small, right? I've been optimistic about you since you were young. I didn't see wrongly. You're promising. Your parents should be happy too!”
"Uncle, I have to thank you for your help all these years. My dad always told me to thank you, but I never had the time. In the future, no matter where I go or how high an official I become, you will always be my uncle.”
"Brat, your uncle can rest assured with your words.”
"No matter what position the army gives me in the future, I only know that I have to have a conscience. The army trained me, so I have to buy my life for them, right? You watched me grow up, and I'm only capable of this much. Uncle, don't laugh at me for being useless. I can only be a soldier.”
"You brat, what are you talking about? If his uncle had a son, he would also let him join the army. Alright, sit down. Uncle still has to greet the other guests. I won't entertain you. Help yourself."
Wang Yifan smiled and said that he understood. He sat alone at the table and looked at the guests coming and going. He didn't know any of them and could only eat the melon seeds and peanuts on the plate awkwardly. Looking at the fake smiles on everyone's faces, at this moment, Wang Yifan felt like laughing. He didn't know why. He couldn't imagine what was wrong with people nowadays. Why didn't they give sincere blessings to others when they got married? Instead, they were comparing themselves. Wang Yifan couldn't take it anymore and was about to leave. A voice stopped him.
"Isn't this Brother Yifan? Why are you here?" Wang Yifan responded and turned around. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl stood behind him and looked at him with a smile. He couldn't remember who it was.
"You're really forgetful! Even I can't remember. Am I going to be sad?”Looking at the little girl pretending to be sad, Wang Yifan suddenly remembered who she was.
"You must be Qi Yu! I haven't seen you for so many years. You've grown so big. You were only a few years old when I last saw you. Looks like I'm really old."
"Is that so? When you met me in the past, I was still in primary school. All these years, every time you came to our house, we missed each other by accident. I heard from my sister that you've been promoted to a higher position and entered military school. You're really amazing. I used to say that you're not bad, and now I'm right. What's wrong? You're here when your old lover is getting married. Aren't you afraid that my current brother-in-law will be jealous? He was a jealous person. Be careful."
"You little girl, you haven't changed. You're so sharp-tongued. Is your brother-in-law that bad? Your sister is already married to him, so what's there to be jealous about?”
"Hahaha, I hope he's magnanimous. I recognized you the moment you entered, but when I saw you talking to my father, I didn't dare to hit you. Come on, let's go out for a walk. It's still early to eat anyway. If they don't have enough fun, they'll go crazy. It won't end. Seeing that you're bored here alone, I happen to have nothing to do, so I'll accompany you! Are you also my sister's guest?”
"Are you alright? Aren't you your sister's bridesmaid? If you leave like this, you won't be standing your sister up. Aren't you afraid that she'll be angry?"
"How did you know that I was my sister's bridesmaid? I didn't expect you to be so observant. I'm indeed my sister's bridesmaid, but my sister saw you just now and asked me to accompany you. Besides, they won't play with my sister today. They all know that my sister is pregnant. So don't worry, accompanying you is my sister's wish. You won't stop me from completing the mission, right?”
"Girl, are you still in school? Or help your father with his business?"
"Of course I'm going to school. I won't help him run a business. It's boring. I'm now a student in the experimental class of the third year of high school in the county. How is it? I'm awesome, right?"
"It's indeed a good thing. You are much stronger than me."
Wang Yifan looked at Qi Yu and thought of the time when he and Qi Miao were together. At that time, they were both admitted to high school and could have gone to school together. However, Qi Miao's father was doing business in the county town, so Qi Miao followed him to the county town. Wang Yifan could only stay in their village school. Their village school was not very good. In Wang Yifan's words, it was just that his grandmother did not love him, and his uncle did not love him. As long as he was a good teacher in the village, he would be gathered in the county town. The better students in the village. They were all drawn to the county's No.1 Middle School, so the students there could not compare to the county's students in the college entrance examination every year. It was not that they were not good at studying, but the teachers were limited and there was nothing they could do.
In the end, something happened at home. Wang Yifan barely finished high school and went to the army. This might have been the turning point of his life, but who would have thought it at the time? He just didn't know what his future path would be like. Qi Yu accompanied Wang Yifan along the streets of the county town. Qi Yu would secretly look at Wang Yifan from time to time, but Wang Yifan didn't feel anything and just walked slowly.
"Brother Yifan, do you have a girlfriend now? Don't take it to heart. I'm saying that you can't tell. My sister married Wu Bing because she doesn't want you to have too much of a burden. She knows that she's uneducated and can't help you in your career, so she chose to be with Wu Bing.”
"Is that so? I don't know yet, but why did she do that?”
"Are you really stupid or are you pretending? You don't know how much my sister loves you. Maybe you never loved her! So your heart isn't with her, how can you understand?”
"No, it's not like that. Last time, I came back to marry her, but I didn't expect your father to get into a car accident and we couldn't get married. Later on, I didn't expect to be promoted and even become an officer. In the past, I always thought that being able to be with your sister in this life was God's blessing to me. I was thinking of marrying your sister when I was on vacation next year, but I didn't expect her to marry someone else. I really didn't expect it. The last time I received a call from my father, to be honest, I was stunned for a long time. I didn't know what I did wrong. Maybe it's my fault that your sister suddenly changed! Now that I see her marrying the person she loves, I'm satisfied. This is how a person's life is. It wasn't a step earlier or a step later. It was just that I met a certain person at a certain time and fell in love with him. Perhaps I was just a passerby in your sister's life! Now that he was going to move forward, I could only retreat to my original position and wait for the person who was interlocked with me.”
"Brother Yifan, you and my sister are two people who have a hard life. Now that she's married, of course we want her to live a good life. Don't take it to heart. Trust me, there will be someone who loves you waiting for you.”
In fact, Qi Yu really wanted to say," Wang Yifan, I like you very much too. I've liked you for almost ten years, but why can't you look at me? In the past, every time you came to our house, I would secretly watch you and eavesdrop on your whispers with my sister. Now that I've grown up, I study hard for you. My goal is to get into university so that I can be with you."
Now that my sister is married and you're alone, I'll marry you no matter what. But the words were on the tip of her tongue, but she insisted on not saying them out loud. She didn't know what the consequences would be if she said it out loud, but she told herself in her heart that Wang Yifan was hers, and no one could take him away. When they returned to the hotel, they were all playing and preparing to eat. Wang Yifan looked at the table full of food. For some reason, he suddenly felt like he couldn't eat.
Can I complain? Can I say I hate him? Sometimes, I hate myself for being indecisive. Although I have no feelings for you, my feelings for you have never changed. Now that you've become someone else's bride, will he treat you well? He looked at Wu Bing, who was toasting him from afar, and then at Qi Miao, who was smiling brightly. He should let it go, and he had to let it go. After he had Bai Mengfei in his heart, how could he not allow others to get married? Sorry, who should I say these three words to? It didn't matter if he told Qi Miao or if Qi Miao should tell him. What was important was that he had to be happy. Although I didn't marry you, I really want you to be happy.
From now on, who will I be? Who did you become? Where is my sweetheart? Maybe I really have to pursue my own happiness. But where was she? Was she holding someone else's hand? In the days to come, I will be alone in my bitter pursuit.
