Xu Pingying stepped forward and shook hands with Zhan Weiyun politely. After all, Zhan Weiyun was the host, so he still had to be polite.
There was no idea on Zhan Weiyun's face, and she also smiled and shook Xu Pingying's hand. At present, it seemed that the two of them were in harmony.
Next, there is Song Jixian.
In fact, there is no need for Song Jixian to follow Zhan Weiyun and greet everyone one by one. After all, this is the game of the Zhan family, but who knows that Song Jixian is now Zhan Weiyun's confirmed fiancé.
Song Jixian stretched out his hand towards Xu Pingying. Xu Pingying glanced at him, smiled and raised her hand to shake it back. The two of them, in silence, didn't know who thought of the love they had had for more than ten years.
Maybe, they don't know what they think about it. After all, the two of them were in love for a long time, which made many people envious. But now, they can't cope with the reality. They broke up just when they were about to get engaged.
For a moment, everyone was a little sad. Only Pu Quan looked at Zhan Weiyun. Her expression was indescribably weird. There was loneliness, longing, sadness, and jealousy in her eyes. All kinds of emotions were intertwined. She was smiling extraordinarily at this moment.
Sad.
In fact, in the eyes of most people, they still think that any problems between Xu Pingying and Song Jixian must be Zhan Weiyun's fault.
Where did she go wrong?
The fault was that she was the only daughter of the Zhan family, the fault was that she fell in love with Song Jixian, the fault was that the Zhan family let Song Jixian marry Zhan Weiyun after Song Jixian broke up.
One by one, no one can tell clearly.
But in the wealthy circle of Nancheng, the more unclear things are, the more people will be criticized.
Now that everyone is together, they look happy and harmonious, but once they are separated, all unpleasant words can be heard.
When Dong Lingye saw that Pu Quan wanted to go to Zhan Weiyun, she hesitated to speak. She was wondering whether she should explain to him. While she was hesitating, she suddenly heard Zhao Yu calling her.
"Master Dong, come quickly, something happened to the king!"
Dong Lingye's expression turned stern, and he couldn't care about the matter between Pu Quan and Zhan Weiyun for a moment.
"I still have something to do, so go ahead. If you have something to do, go to Fang Xiangshi to find me."
After saying that, Dong Lingye left in a hurry. Pu Quan was confused and didn't know what was going on. The high priest came and left inexplicably. Could it be that she came to see a show?
Pu Quan shook his head and went to find Zhan Weiyun. Zhan Weiyun stood on the balcony on the second floor, as if he were climbing up to a distance, or looking down at the entire Zhan family house.
Seeing Pu Quan walking towards him, Zhan Weiyun took the initiative to nod at him and said hello: "Brother Ning Yi, long time no see."
It's a polite way of saying they haven't seen each other for a long time. Tang Ningyi and Zhan Weiyun, apart from seeing each other once or twice at gatherings every year, they really don't see each other the rest of the time.
But it can't be said that they don't know each other, they are just acquaintances.
In fact, Zhan Weiyun was also curious as to why Tang Ningyi came to see her. She also saw just now that he brought a female companion. At this time, Tang Ningyi should go to show off his female companion with his friends.
Zhan Weiyun was not familiar with Tang Ning, and what she knew about her was what she heard from others. She was no different from most other young men in Nancheng. However, when Tang Ning came to see her, she was a little surprised.
She couldn't imagine that she and Tang Ning had anything to talk about.
Although Zhan Weiyun knew that she was now a topic for after-dinner chat in Nancheng, she felt that a young master like Tang Ningyi who only loved to play would not be interested in such topics.
Unexpectedly, Tang Ningyi was really interested.
Pu Quan: "I heard that you and Song Jixian are about to get engaged?"
Zhan Weiyun was stunned at first, obviously not realizing that Tangning would discuss this topic with him later.
After all, this topic is too sensitive for everyone.
At home, her father didn't want her to marry Song Jixian, so she always avoided talking about the engagement, delayed it as much as possible, and kept silent about it.
As for Song Jixian, he really didn't want to marry her. Everything was arranged by his grandfather. He didn't want to participate in the discussion. She remembered that when Song Jixian was going to get engaged to Xu Pingying, he was busy in person and looking for planners.
, contacted the wedding studio, wishing she could even prepare some materials by herself. In comparison, she was really miserable.
Not only at home, but also outside, whenever engagement is mentioned now, what everyone thinks of is naturally the engagement ceremony between Song Jixian and Xu Pingying, and everything about her is a foil.
Therefore, no one would take the initiative to mention the word "engagement" to her. When she heard it rashly, Zhan Weiyun still doubted whether she was hallucinating.
Although he was a little surprised, Zhan Weiyun still smiled and replied: "Yes, according to grandpa's arrangement, it will be soon."
Pu Quan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated whether to say it or not. Zhan Weiyun was waiting for him. After a brief silence, she heard Pu Quan say something.
"Do you love him?"
This question came quite unexpectedly, just as unexpected as when Tang Ning came to her.
Zhan Weiyun still had a decent smile and replied: "Mr. Tang, why do you ask that?" Her title has changed from "Brother Ning Yi" to "Mr. Tang".
"I, actually..."
As if he didn't care about Tang Ningyi's answer at all, Zhan Weiyun stopped looking at him, turned to look outside the balcony, and said slowly: "I love him. This is an inexplicable love. It is strange at first, but it continues to make people feel weird."
He is strange, but I just love him."
Upon hearing this, Pu Quan looked at her, or in other words, stared at her deeply.
Zhan Weiyun continued: "Actually, I shouldn't say these things to you, but I don't know who to tell you. I've been holding it in my heart for so long that I almost forgot this feeling. I also want to
Find someone to talk to, Mr. Tang, are you willing to listen?"
Pu Quan nodded, and raised his hand to lower a barrier where Zhan Weiyun could not see it. No outsiders could see or hear the conversation between the two of them.
"I have actually been abroad since I was born. When I was abroad, I lived with my mother. In fact, when I was a child, I also wondered why I didn't have a father, or why I didn't live with my father. Later, when I grew up, I gradually understood
There is no distinction between domestic and foreign countries, but at this time, the first thing I think about is not that my father is in China, but that the person I love is in China."
Speaking of this, Zhan Weiyun smiled bitterly, "It's strange, I was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time. After all, I was abroad, and my friends around me fell in love very early. But when I also had this awareness, my heart
They would tell me that the person I love is not here, but in China. Before I returned to China, I wanted to sneak back, but every time there would be problems like this or some unforeseen accidents, and in short, I never succeeded."
"Later, when I was sixteen or seventeen years old, my mother said she would take me back to China, and I thought, finally, I can go find the so-called person I love who has been in my heart since I was a child."
"I remember very clearly that the first time I returned to China was on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The people who came to pick me up at the airport, besides my father, were Song Jixian. Do you know that feeling? With just one glance, you knew that it was you.
The person I have been looking for, the clamoring and filling voice in my heart can explode my brain. The consciousness is too strong, so I am very sure that Song Jixian is the consciousness that has been imprinted deep in my mind. He
It’s the one I love.”
"But later, I found out that he had a girlfriend. Naturally, I should also know that he should not be the person I was in love with. Although I have never received this kind of traditional education in China since I was a child, after all, my parents have
It’s traditional, and the education I received also told me that we should have this kind of morality. So, I tried to give up and escape. But you know what? Whenever I have the idea that I don’t want to love him, something deep in my mind
When I was there, it felt like dozens of hands were ravaging and tearing at my consciousness, and my chest felt as tight as if I was suffocating. Slowly, I felt that maybe this was the fate of Song Jixian and me, and he must be the person I was destined to be.
Slowly, I really developed a good impression of him. But it’s ridiculous. Do you know how this good impression came about?”
Perhaps it was really funny, Zhan Weiyun actually laughed: "I fell in love with him because of the love between him and Xu Pingying."
"It's ridiculous. Love for a person actually arises from his love with someone else. From the time I found out that Song Jixian and Xu Pingying were boyfriend and girlfriend, I started to ask about the stories between the two of them, childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, how romantic
It's hard not to be addicted to a campus love story, even if the protagonist is not myself. So, I began to realize how good Song Jixian was and how long-lasting love was. Maybe this is how love started."
"I don't know how he and Xu Pingying broke up. I always felt that I was hiding it, lest others find out about my feelings for Song Jixian. After all, he is my uncle in name. Even if they broke up later, I still feel
It wasn't appropriate. But later, after grandpa's arrangement came out, I was really happy, and I thought, maybe this is really the person I am destined for."
"However, I forgot that love is two-way. No matter how much I love him, the person Song Ji expresses his love to is Xu Pingying."
As she said that, Pu Quan followed Zhan Weiyun's gaze and saw Song Jixian and Xu Pingying on the balcony next door. She thought that maybe because of the curtains, they didn't realize that they were standing here with Tang Ning.
Zhan Weiyun suddenly said to Pu Quan: "You know, I can't actually explain my feelings for Song Jixian. No matter how much I seem to love him or be obsessed with him, I know in my heart that this kind of love is not love, it's just love."
If I don't love him, I will feel very sad, so looking back, I can only accept that I love him very much."
Pu Quan lowered his eyes. Zhan Weiyun didn't know clearly, but he already understood in his heart.
Perhaps at the beginning, Nanzhi treated him the same way.
If you don't love, your heart will hurt, so this is love. A love that comes out of nowhere without any emotional involvement.
