Along the way, she kept thinking about what happened just now. Zhiyu already has a girlfriend. Gu Zhixia, you should give up too! He graduated from university and is a soldier. Can you compare to him? Do you have the qualifications to compare yourself to him? Zhi Xia gritted his teeth. Gu Zhixia, give up!
Someone said," A person always has to see strange scenery, listen to strange songs, walk strange roads, ride strange cars, and meet strange people. However, when you inadvertently see them, you realize that you can't forget the things you originally wanted to forget. Why is life so complicated?”
"Zhixia, Zhiling is looking for you!" his mother called out.
"Zhiling, why is she looking for me?" Zhi Xia thought to himself.
"Zhiling, what's the matter?" Zhi Xia said with a smile.
"I'm getting married in half a month. I want to invite you to be my bridesmaid.”Zhiling said with a smile.
"Definitely! You're my only friend here. When my best friend gets married, your long skirt will drag the floor, and my short skirt will match.”Zhi Xia said with a smile.
"Alright, we'll be leaving first." Zhiling said with a smile.
"Zhiling, why don't you stay here for dinner?”His mother greeted him warmly.
"No need, Auntie. Let's go back and eat. My sister-in-law just came to our house. No matter what, I have to accompany her.”Zhiling said with a smile.
"What about your brother? When are you getting married?" Zhi Xia asked.
"Didn't he tell you? He's on the same day as me." Zhiling said.
Zhi Xia didn't say anything. She clenched her fists tightly and looked into the distance. She was afraid that she would cry again if she couldn't hold it in…
" Zhixia went to the hillside alone. She sat under a maple tree and watched the leaves fall. She picked up the leaves and thought of Xie Jun. She thought of the summer many years ago. Nothing had changed. If she had chosen him back then, would she still be sitting alone now? Zhiyu wanted to get married, but the bride was not me. This pain was worse than a knife. If he was really happy, I shouldn't be so persistent. I should be smiling and wishing him well.”
" The foot of the mountain is vast. There are dense forests and chirping birds. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the entire village clearly. When the wind blows, it feels a little cold. It's time to put on some clothes.”Zhi Xia smiled.
" Many people say that there is a difference between liking someone and loving someone. Liking someone means having them, and loving someone means seeing them happy. However, if you don't like someone, how can you fall in love with them? This is a process. Liking someone means wanting to look at them all the time, thinking about them, and smiling when you think about them. Love would not disturb him. When he needed comfort, you would always be there. When you saw him, it was enough to give each other a smile. This was the difference between love and liking. Loving someone is not about leaving with a smile, nor is it about holding on tightly to someone. It is about feeling appropriately.”
"Maybe you guys will think that if he likes me, why didn't he contact me? Doesn't liking someone mean that he will always be thinking about you? Would he bear not to contact you? At first, I thought so too, but later, I was wrong. What about the person you like? He might have thought the same. Since you didn't contact him, why should he be so nice to you? What about you? Did you feel that he was being too cold when he didn't contact you? Yes, every girl thought so. In fact, some boys were shy and embarrassed, while some girls were arrogant. Hmph, since ancient times, boys had always chased girls. Some girls couldn't bring themselves to do so, so the two people who liked each other missed each other. However, speaking of which, most things in the world weren't absolute or relative. Therefore, when you have someone you like, you might as well give it a try. Don't care about the result, just the process. Because there are only two outcomes."
" Thump! Thump!" On the day of the wedding, the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and people's shouts were all mixed together. The wedding was originally very lively, but Zhixia felt very anxious. She didn't know what to do. She didn't know if she should be a bridesmaid. She didn't want to see him get married. It was a nightmare. However, since she had given up and wished him well, she should be witnessing the four of them. But... Zhixia kept struggling.
"Zhixia, Zhiling asked someone to rush you again. Why haven't you changed yet? It's too late!" His mother urged.
"Mom, I don't want to go!" Zhi Xia said.
"I don't want to go. You promised someone that day. Why are you like this? He shouldn't have embarrassed her on her wedding day!”Mom said angrily.
"I should go. No, I have to go. I want Wang Zhiyu to know that I can still live without him in this world. I also want him to know that I have completely given up on him. I don't love him anymore.”Zhi Xia said through gritted teeth.
When they arrived at Zhiyu's house, the smell of firecrackers wafted through the courtyard. The door was pasted with a big 'happiness' character. The horizontal banner on the door wrote the words 'hold your hand, grow old together,' which Zhixia would always remember. The door was filled with people. When Zhi Xia walked into their line of sight, all of them looked at her. Some of them asked," Whose house is this?"
Young lady, what a great sect leader! This was Old Gu's eldest daughter. She heard that she went to work before she finished university and had just returned not long ago. " If my son marries her, that would be great," another uncle said.
"Zhixia, you're finally here. I thought you weren't coming.”Zhiling said with a smile.
"How could that be? I was delayed by something on the way, but I'm not late.”Zhi Xia said with a smile.
"Why haven't you changed into your wedding dress? The car will be here soon!" Zhi Xia said in surprise.
"What's the hurry? This was the last time she was staying at home.”Zhiling said mischievously.
"Hey, you! Where is the wedding dress? Shall I help you?" Zhi Xia said as he helped Zhiling put on her veil.
"Zhiling, are you done?" Zhiyu walked in and asked.
Zhi Xia saw that it was Zhiyu and smiled at him,""Happy wedding! You have to return the wedding candy you owe me!"
" I will." Zhiyu smiled.
This kind of smile was very unnatural and uncomfortable.
"Zhiyu, why didn't you inform Zhixia about your wedding? Zhixia grew up with us, after all. Getting married is a big deal.”Zhiling asked.
" I was busy and forgot…" Zhiyu replied.
"It's okay. Aren't I here now?”Zhi Xia held his hand tightly and said with a trembling voice.
"Then hurry up. I'll go pick up Youmo.”Zhiyu said.
"Hurry up and go. When you pick me up, I'm going out.”Zhiling replied.
"Which earring should I wear? Zhiling." Zhi Xia asked.
"You can wear whichever one you think looks good.”Zhiling replied.
"As for you, you belong to the masculine category. Wearing pink is too tacky, red is too bright, black is too charming, and yellow is too outrageous.”Zhi Xia recalled what Zhiyu had said before. He smiled and said to Zhiling," I'll take the blue one. Your brother once said that the sky blue Higan is the most beautiful."
Zhiling turned around and suddenly asked Zhi Xia,""Do you still like my brother?"
"I…I didn't. I've always treated your brother as my own brother.”Zhi Xia replied nervously.
"Then why are you so nervous? From that day at your uncle's house, I could tell what you were thinking from your expression. Today, it was written on your face that you were very sad.”Zhiling continued to ask.
"That's not true. Don't think about it. If I like your brother, why did I come to his wedding today instead of hiding? Isn't it?" Zhi Xia added.
"That's what I'm most puzzled about. You like my brother, so why aren't the two of you together?”Zhiling mumbled.
"Ah, what did you say?" Zhi Xia was confused.
"It's nothing. I might really be overthinking.”Zhiling replied.
"Do you think I will be happy?" Zhiling suddenly asked.
"Of course you will. I also wish you happiness forever!”Zhi Xia said with a smile.
"Why do I feel like I was wrong?" Zhi Ling said.
"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly say that?" Zhi Xia asked in puzzlement.
"Will I be happy if I marry someone I don't like?”Zhiling sighed.
"Then why did you marry him?" Zhi Xia asked.
"Do you think I want to? His family was rich, powerful, and had status. No one could imagine it.”Zhiling continued.
"Could it be that this is what you like?" Zhi Xia questioned.
"I don't like anything about him. I can't choose my own love and marriage. So, Zhixia, do you know? I have nightmares every day. I dream that one day, I have nothing. I dream that Yang Wei said that I was a bitch. "He said I was greedy for money and profit," Zhiling said with tears in her eyes.
"Did your family force you to get married?" Zhi Xia asked.
Zhiling did not speak.
"Why didn't you resist? Are you going to continue making mistakes?" Zhi Xia asked.
"I resisted! I locked myself in the house for half a month. I didn't eat or drink for half a month, but I didn't starve to death. Later, I ran to the lake and slowly walked down. When I was over my head, it was Chen Guanming who saved me. Therefore, I chose what my parents thought. I knew that I didn't study much, I couldn't go far, and I couldn't beat them. However, one day, I would make all of them regret this marriage.”Zhiling swallowed her tears and clutched the wedding dress tightly.
When Zhi Xia heard this, tears fell from her eyes as she hugged Zhiling,""It's been so many years, but you haven't changed. When I saw you that day, I thought you had changed. You weren't wrong, but you shouldn't bear the consequences.”
"It's all too late. I pushed myself to the cliff.”Zhiling said.
"What do you mean I don't understand?" Zhi Xia said as he wiped his tears.
"Yesterday, Yang Wei came to look for me. He said that he likes me.，"I've been waiting for these words for a long time. It's been five years, but when I heard them, my heart bled. If it was five years ago, I would hug him without hesitation and promise him that I liked him too. However, I can't do this now. I can't let my parents down for myself. I can't let my parents bear this pain. Even if my parents are in the wrong, they gave birth to you and raised you for decades. Therefore, I have to reject him. I told him that I never liked him." He even asked him to attend my wedding, and he told me that as long as I lived well, he would leave with a smile. Did you know? At that moment, I really wished it was a dream.”
