Chapter 9, your appearance has disrupted my entire life

Chen Yiying had long since muted that group and eventually even left it.

Zhong Jialiang's Moments post features the wedding photos of Qiu Zhuoping and Liu Jiaran. Huimei was shocked for a few seconds before remembering that today is Qiu Zhuoping's wedding day! She had been wanting to have a good chat with Chen Yiying these past few days, but ended up forgetting about it due to the studio needing to rush the character designs for the game.

Yiying took the car keys thrown by Xu Tanshu and fell into deep thought

He can marry whoever he wants, what does it have to do with me? I also have a boyfriend now, why should I ruin someone else's happiness

In which church did they get married

In order to force him to confront his true feelings, she did not hesitate to make a scene at his wedding, disregarding her own image. She initially thought she could generously let Qiu Zhuoping go, but it was only at the last moment that she realized the truth. She could not bear to watch him disappear from her world again; having lost him once before, she would not allow such a thing to happen again

A small car gradually came to a stop at the entrance of the church

They embraced each other, gazing at the swaying leaves outside the window This summer seems to have blossomed with flowers

Xu Shushu did not pay attention to the emotional changes in Hui Mei's eyes, he pointed in the direction of the parking lot: "My car is over there"

The couple was having a quarrel, with the girl pouting and turning her head away like a child. The boy maintained the same posture, ignoring her. However, it wasn't long before the girl tentatively glanced at the boy with an expression that suggested she wanted to compromise but didn't want to admit her fault first. When the boy met her gaze, she immediately huffed and continued to pout and turn her head away. The boy rolled his eyes, his attitude softened, and he walked in front of the girl, lowering his guard and making a funny face. The girl burst into laughter and chased after him playfully.

"Follow me." Hui Mei, seeing the security guard coming up from another staircase, pulled Xu Tan Shu and jumped directly off the front of the stage.

The doctor, holding the medical record book, stopped at the door, awkwardly using the book to cover his face. The nurse following closely behind him also conveniently helped to close the door.

Almost every taxi driver refused to take Huimei to the beach, citing that it was too far, and the fuel cost for the return trip was not worth it.

Xu Zhenzhu felt somewhat at a loss. Although he had helped Qiu Zhuoping and Chen Yiying, he had hurt his own cousin. He did not know how to offer comfort and could only leave the church with Huimei.

"Zhong Jialiang, let go!" Hui Mei's voice interrupted them

Yiying stepped out of the car, leaned against the vehicle, and closed her eyes to bask in the sunlight

Before returning to the art exhibition, Mr. Xu Shenshu courteously took Hui Mei to her workplace. Although it was only a ten-minute drive, the traffic was congested due to the rush hour.

Hui Mei gazed at the red sports car that had disappeared at the end of the street, then turned and walked into the company, as if the story of youth had already come to an end

Qiu Zhuoping, I knew you cared about me!" Chen Yiying got off the hospital bed and tightly embraced Qiu Zhuoping. This time, it seemed as if she had exhausted all her courage in her lifetime

They went together to help Chen Yiying choose an evening gown, but the ones they liked were all out of size. In the end, they could only select a short dress that was as black as the night. However, when it came time to pay, they discovered that the wrong card had been brought. Xu Shunshu attempted to use the school's meal card at the POS machine, which made the owner laugh for half an hour. Finally, he ran to the ATM across the street to withdraw cash without a card

Qiu Zhuoping and Liu Jiaran stood before the pastor, while the doors of the church slowly closed

What exactly did he and Liu Jiaran do to Qiu Zhuoping over the past two years

Yiying was so infuriated by Qiu Zhuoping's likes and comments that she felt like throwing her phone directly into the soup

Yiying smiled proudly, replied to Zhong Jialiang, and sent several kiss emojis

The cars around were honking, and the congested traffic began to improve. As the green light turned on, the vehicles on the street started to move forward in an orderly manner. After passing a few traffic lights, Huimei had already seen the place where she worked. She pointed to the simply designed office building and said, "That is where I work."

Is Xu Lianshu there? I have an urgent matter, can you pass the phone to him?

The high-heeled shoes embedded with crystals sparkled under the sunlight, perfectly complementing her Greek-style bridal attire. Her lips, a seductive shade of red, gently curled into a smile as she gazed at the cross on the church. Ultimately, it was she who walked into this church with Qiu Zhuoping. In this battle of emotions, she is the true victor.

"What is destined to be will eventually come, and what is not destined to be should not be forced." Zhong Jialiang stepped forward to protect Chen Yiying, preventing Hui Mei from continuing to persuade her

The guests inside the church were engaged in lively discussions, uncertain about what exactly had transpired

She put down her phone and smiled: "I am someone who can take things up and let them go. Why should I waste my youth on someone like Qiu Zhuoping, who hopes to live in a rational world? My current criteria for dating a boyfriend are only two: to bring joy to my heart and to enhance my quality of life"

"Qiu Zhuoping does not want you, and Chen Yiying does not want me. We truly share the same plight; why don't we just make a pair ourselves?" Zhong Jialiang said with a bitter smile.

But what if my unwillingness to change is because I do not love you

Hui Mei looked up at the large clock on the central building, with two and a half hours remaining until the wedding began

Qiu Zhuoping stood expressionlessly at the end of the red carpet by the door, holding a bouquet of flowers. His hair was slicked back, revealing a high forehead, and the neatly combed strands shimmered with flecks of silver. There was no anticipation or happiness on his face, only the same calmness as always. This calmness caused Liu Jiaran's steps to slow down, as if each step was a torment.

At that moment, Chen Yiying realized that she was having a meal with him

He watched as Huimei ran away with no clear destination, and he turned to grab her wrist and pull her back. This pull caused Huimei to fall directly into his arms. Huimei looked up at him, whom she had not seen for a long time, her heart in a state of turmoil.

Hui Mei tightly grasped the safety belt, feeling as if she were on a roller coaster

I once thought that I could accompany you for a long time, to be your most intimate friend and conversation partner, but in reality, time has long divided us into two unrelated worlds. Your world does not need me, while my world is too small to contain you. Now I finally understand that we both need to move forward separately, to pursue our own lives. I think, perhaps I can only like you up to this point. Now I finally understand that we both need to move forward separately, to pursue our own lives. I think, perhaps I can only like you up to this point

He does not love her, and she knew this long ago. Yet she is unwilling to accept it; she realizes that perhaps she does not love him either, but she simply cannot come to terms with it. She cannot accept that the person she has been desperately pursuing has fallen into someone else's arms, nor can she accept that her efforts go unrewarded. She understands that their marriage may merely be a transaction, but she does not care; what she wants, she must obtain, even if it means resorting to any means necessary

"Do you really think that way?" Zhong Jialiang suddenly asked seriously, and this question made Chen Yiying feel guilty instead

In the end, Qiu Zhuoping tightly embraced Chen Yiying; having chosen her, there was no turning back, yet he had no regrets

Zhong Jialiang parked the small car by the beach. The warm sunlight broke through the clouds and leaped over the horizon; although it could not be considered a sunrise, the radiance seemed capable of dispelling the darkness within one's heart

Alright, let's gather again when we have time, goodbye

Yiying opened the curtains and saw a small car parked by the tree at the foot of the apartment building; it was Zhong Jialiang's car. She changed into a simple dress, casually tied up her long hair, and took Zhong Jialiang's car to the coast outside the city.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Jialiang, filled with anger, kicked the sand and turned to the seaside to shout.

Liu Jiaran, in a fit of anger, kicked off her high heels and walked towards Chen Yiying while shouting: "Chen Yiying, this is not over between us!"

The grand auditorium was adorned with fresh flowers, and the flickering flames of European-style candles danced gently. The guests and family members present were seated at the front of the church, awaiting the appearance of the bride and groom. Wedding songs echoed throughout the church, and the guests collectively turned their gaze towards the entrance. The handsome groom walked slowly alongside the beautiful bride, with the flower girls and boys carrying baskets trailing behind them, appearing clumsy yet endearing

Hui Mei quickly glanced at the location displayed below their pictures; Qiu Zhuoping's location was at the church in the city center, while Zhong Jialiang and Chen Yiying were located at the coast, an hour's drive from the city center

Hui Mei lowered the car window, and the seaside view came into her sight. The sea breeze brushed against her face, the salty air refreshing her senses. Soon, a small car parked on the beach caught her attention. She hurriedly tapped Xu Tan Shu and pointed at the small car, saying: "They are over there!"

Zhuo Ping Ge no longer wants me, why did he leave, sob sob ... ...

The news of Qiu Zhuoping and Liu Jiaran preparing to get married has spread throughout the company, and many people are saying that the general manager and the administrative secretary have finally achieved their goal. There are also some who refrain from expressing opinions, believing that there are reasons behind this. Furthermore, there are those who enjoy gossiping, thinking that they are getting married due to an unexpected pregnancy. The entire company is discussing the marriage of Qiu Zhuoping and Liu Jiaran, while Qiu Zhuoping seems indifferent to the matter; even when he hears people talking behind his back, he merely casts a cold glance and continues with his work.

I have arrived, thank you for seeing me off. You should hurry back to your art exhibition, or your assistant will get anxious. After Huimei got out of the car, she closed the door for her, adjusted her pink chiffon dress, and the once lovely curls had been trimmed away, leaving her with long, straight black hair that reached her collarbone. With her still straight bangs, she looked like a freshly graduated high school student

When Chen Yiying opened her Moments, the only person she knew who liked and commented with a blessing was Zhong Jialiang. As Yiying hesitated whether to like or comment, a phone call interrupted her thoughts

The Stellar Church in the city center

Zhong Jialiang's resolute words left Yi Ying both frightened and bewildered

After they left, Liu Jiaran once again collapsed onto the steps, her expression vacant, as if she had suffered a tremendous shock

Sitting in the office, Qiu Zhuoping stood up, closed the door, lowered the blinds, and ignored everything happening outside

In the distance, the street is bustling with crowds, and the vehicles traversing the thoroughfare are lined up like a long dragon. Among this long line, there is a dazzling red sports car. Xu Tanshu's art exhibition has not yet concluded, and Hui Mei has also taken half a day off work due to matters concerning Chen Yiying

The position vacated by Qiu Zhuoping will eventually be filled or replaced by someone, who could be Zhong Jialiang or perhaps a stranger encountered in the future

They stopped behind a white van, waiting for the vehicles at the intersection to move forward. Xu Shushu played a lyrical English song, but Huimei did not understand a single word. She secretly glanced at his profile; his eyes were fixed ahead, and he occasionally hummed a few lines of the English song.

"You lost," Liu Jiaran said with a smug smile, playfully linking her arm with Qiu Zhuoping's, eager to continue the wedding.

The company's WeChat work group is also constantly receiving photos of rings and wedding dresses sent by Liu Jiaran, and those who see the images will participate in discussions and offer suggestions for her

The only person who can help now is probably Xu Shushu

After crying and throwing a tantrum for an hour, Liu Jiaran hesitantly turned her head, and her aggrieved tears burst forth once again. She threw herself into Zhong Jialiang's embrace and cried out loud.

I apologize, but Mr. Xu is currently giving a speech at the art exhibition and it is not convenient for him to take calls at the moment. Would you mind calling back in an hour?

Do you still remember the time when we tried to bring those two together? Xu Shushu's lips curled up, revealing a somewhat mature smile

Hui Mei is right; she cannot make a wrong decision out of momentary anger. She does not love Zhong Jialiang; the person she loves is Qiu Zhuoping. Even if she ultimately cannot prevent all of this from happening, at least she has fought for it before.

"How could such a significant event occur without anyone notifying me?" Xu Shushu, preoccupied with organizing the art exhibition and unable to attend to other matters, vaguely recalled that Liu Jiaran had seemingly sent him an invitation a few days ago, which he had delegated to his temporary assistant to handle.

As his words fell, he turned on the car's sound system, and passionate music immediately filled the air

Chen Yiying, today is the day I marry Liu Jiaran. If you are here to offer your blessings, please take a seat; if you are here to cause trouble, please leave." Qiu Zhuoping pushed away Chen Yiying's hand that was holding him and walked over to Liu Jiaran, seemingly truly intending to marry her

If one cannot be with the person they like, then being with the right person is also quite good

The church, guests arrived one after another. Liu Jiaran, dressed in a wedding gown, was brought to the front of the church by the wedding car, a white lace umbrella opened above the car door. The bridesmaids and some girls welcoming the bride opened the car door, and Liu Jiaran, adorned like a princess, emerged from the car.

When Xu Tanshu and Huimei walked over, Liu Jiaran lifted her head, grabbed the bouquet on the ground, and threw it at them, saying: "Do you still have the face to come here and watch me make a fool of myself? Get lost! Get out of here!"

Ah, I forgot to take a photo!" Yiying suddenly remembered that she needed to take a picture to post on her social media. She used her chopsticks to arrange the plate that was missing a piece of food, and then opened the beauty camera. She reached out to lift her phone, turned her back to Zhong Jialiang, and took a shot, ensuring that both the dishes on the table and Zhong Jialiang appeared in the frame

The pastor looked at the devastated church and nearly fainted

In order to become the most beautiful bride, Liu Jiaran took a week off and went with friends to get manicures, style her hair, and choose a wedding dress, eager to adorn herself with all things glamorous.

In order to quell the discussions among everyone, Zhong Jialiang unilaterally brought Yi Ying back into the group and then sent a large red envelope that dozens of people scrambled for. Below the red envelope was a bouquet of flowers, and beneath the flowers was written a phrase: "Finally able to date the person I like." However, this did not convey much, so he also tagged Chen Yiying and sent a flying kiss emoji.

As the sports car drove away, Huimei turned around. She watched the red sports car disappear into the light, a smile of relief spreading across her face

As soon as the post was shared in the Moments, it received countless likes, among which Huimei and Xu Tanshu both expressed their shock with an astonished emoji. Even more surprising was that Qiu Zhuoping liked the post and commented, "Wishing you happiness".

"Zhong Jialiang, you said you like me, so will you accept all my shortcomings?" Yi Ying sipped her orange juice, her emotions shifting slightly, "I am a very lazy person; I neither cook nor enjoy doing housework. In my leisure time, I like to curl up at home reading or watching television. When I have nothing to do, I enjoy going out to eat delicious food, and I also love to spend money. Even if you were to be with me, I might not change. If you truly encountered the real me, would you still say you like me as you do now?"

After Yiying left the work group, many people in the company began to discuss other topics, believing that the three of them were in a triangular relationship, which was why Yiying chose to leave the group

If one does not succeed, one must sacrifice oneself! Xu Shushu also said this

The smell of disinfectant permeated the hospital as Qiu Zhuoping, dressed in a white suit, rushed into the emergency room holding Chen Yiying. People coming and going looked at him, and the anxiety etched on his brow seemed to be an everlasting presence

Knowing that Zhong Jialiang treats her very well, unconditionally, and without any demands, she still feels fear towards such meticulous love. Is this kind of meticulousness truly the ideal romance?

Chen Yiying, do you still remember what you said before? You said that what is meant to be will eventually come, and what is not meant to be must be seized! Qiu Zhuoping originally belonged to you, and if you back down at this moment, then you are the biggest fool in the world

If it is love, then how could there be these excuses

As Lin Huimei and Xu Shushu were taken aback, the staff and security personnel backstage had already begun to approach in this direction

Perhaps she will never have the opportunity to enjoy the sea breeze with Qiu Zhuoping again

"Chen Yiying, today is our wedding day. Do you really think the groom will walk away with you?" Liu Jiaran glared angrily at Chen Yiying, "Zhuo Ping can walk in here with me, which means our marriage is set for today. Even if you come, it will be of no use!"

As soon as the nurse stepped out of the emergency room, Yi Ying sat up abruptly, as if she had suddenly come back to life, startling Qiu Zhuoping.

I ... ...

Does she really think this way? Or is it merely to provoke Qiu Zhuoping, hoping to receive more care? Perhaps she truly cannot let go, which leads to such childish behavior, always thinking that one day they can be as good as they once were; always thinking that one day he will suddenly appear and domineeringly take her away

This time, Qiu Zhuoping quietly left the group

On the day of Qiu Zhuoping's wedding, he early posted his wedding photos with Liu Jiaran on his social media, writing: I hope to receive everyone's blessings

His voice is melodious, like a spring of water from the heavens. Huimei wishes that the little car would remain here forever, with time no longer passing. In this way, she could quietly gaze at his gentle and beautiful appearance.

In the past, they engaged in many regrettable actions to bring together Qiu Zhuoping and Chen Yiying

Yiying looked at the priest and the guests present, all of whom were waiting to see the spectacle. Since that was the case, she no longer needed to hold back on anything

Hui Mei's voice pulled Yi Ying back to reality, and she hurriedly took the keys to Xu Tan Shu's sports car and sped away

The pastor opened the Bible in his hands and began his address. After the address, he looked at Qiu Zhuoping and asked: "Please swear in the name of love, do you take this woman before you to be your wife? In times of prosperity or adversity, in wealth or poverty, in health or sickness, do you vow to be with her for life, to never part, to love and cherish her until eternity?"

"Quickly go and call the doctor." Qiu Zhuoping placed Chen Yiying on the hospital bed and turned to ask the nurse to summon the doctor for an examination

The sports car came to a sudden stop with a drift, halting on the seawall. Huimei and Xu Shushu both got out of the car and ran towards Yiying.

I do not want to be the one who gets dumped, sob sob ... ...

Yiying watched the young couple disappear at the end of the street, and couldn't help but think of herself and Qiu Zhuoping. Perhaps they were now like that couple, playfully bickering in a childish manner with an adult's approach. ... But they were both proud individuals, unwilling to compromise or yield, and perhaps as they continued to bicker, they would truly end up starting their own families ...

If one remains stagnant in the past, then one will never be able to move forward; she also needs to advance in her own direction. The people she liked in her youth and the pursuits she once chased should also belong to the past

"Alright." Yi Ying put down the flowers and casually glanced at Qiu Zhuoping's office, where the people inside remained indifferent. She felt a bit angry but turned her head and smiled as she linked arms with Zhong Jialiang, and the two left the company amidst the cheers of everyone.

Xu Shushu watched as Huimei turned and walked up the steps at the entrance of the company, started the engine, and drove away in reverse

I oppose! The church's main door was kicked open by Chen Yiying, causing the balloons and flowers adorning the door to fall to the ground. Without any courtesy, Chen Yiying stepped forward and pulled Qiu Zhuoping behind her, standing in front of Liu Jiaran, and said with her head held high and a righteous tone: "Qiu Zhuoping will only marry me in this lifetime; he does not wish to marry you"

She pulled Xu Tanshu's hand and ran out of the exhibition hall, saying as she ran: "Qiu Zhuoping is holding a wedding with Liu Jiaran, and Chen Yiying has been taken to the seaside by Zhong Jialiang. We need to bring Chen Yiying to the wedding venue, otherwise, the two of them will definitely regret it later."

She merely wishes to establish a family with the person she loves, is she wrong

In fact, we are quite similar, harboring feelings for someone unattainable, resorting to any means in the name of love, yet even if it leads to mutual destruction, we still cannot attain it. Reflecting on this is both laughable and pitiable. Zhong Jialiang gently patted Liu Jiayan's back, comforting her. Perhaps from the very beginning, they chose to be with those who were unsuitable for them, which has led to the current situation.

Chen Yiying, why are you still here? Qiu Zhuoping is about to hold a wedding with Liu Jiaran. If you don't go and stop it, Qiu Zhuoping will really become someone else's groom

Standing on the stage, Xu Shushu, wearing an ear-mounted speaker, methodically introduces the characteristics and meanings of each painting in the venue. Behind him, there is a large portrait of a young girl dressed in a gown the color of the ocean, with the sky displaying a bizarre palette, and a giant dragon resting beside her. On the right side of the painting, the text reads: Once there was no time, all things were in chaos, time flows like a rushing river, and no one can escape from it.

Xu Mishu! The voice of Huimei cut through the bustling crowd, and by the time everyone turned to look, Huimei had already run up to the stage

After Yiying followed Zhong Jialiang to the restaurant, she ordered a table full of her favorite dishes without any hesitation. Zhong Jialiang couldn't help but chuckle at Yiying, who looked like a greedy cat.

Nanping Art Exhibition Center

What should I do? At this moment, Huimei felt like an ant on a hot pan. She dialed Yiying's number, but the other party never answered. She called Qiu Zhuoping, and the person who answered was Liu Jiaran, who hung up without saying a word.

They also attempted to gather a group of people to pretend to be thugs, prompting Qiu Zhuoping to act heroically. As a result, the group of pretended thugs was beaten and fled in disarray, subsequently demanding medical expenses from Xu Tanshu.

Then you can change your clothes and come down, I am downstairs in the apartment building

I will not allow you to go. I have spent so much time separating you, and now they are getting married. If you go, everything we have sacrificed over the past two years will be in vain. You are not allowed to go

"It's me. I see that the weather is quite nice today. Are you interested in joining me to the seaside for a breeze?" The somewhat hoarse voice of Zhong Jialiang came from the other end of the phone.

This city is an island, with a long and shallow coastline. A cement road that runs along the coastline is known as Lover's Road, where almost all the pedestrians are couples, especially at night

Ying! Qiu Zhuoping's nerves were triggered, and he quickly stepped forward to pull Liu Jiaran away, picking up Chen Ying and heading towards the door.

Hui Mei took a deep breath, pushed open the revolving door, and headed straight for the stage of the art exhibition center

"You still have feelings for Qiu Zhuoping, don't you?" Zhong Jialiang suddenly spoke after putting down his phone

Yiying recalled Qiu Zhuoping, who always had expectations of her, hoping for her to excel. Despite knowing that this was quite tormenting, she was still willing to become better and improve for him. However, being with Zhong Jialiang, she felt very casual, and this casualness made her unable to sense her own emotional fluctuations

Yiying liked the post and lingered in the comment section for a long time, unable to think of a more impactful comment. After a few seconds, she saw Zhong Jialiang commenting below: "No one is more beautiful than my girlfriend"

Colleagues who had noticed the signs no longer dared to discuss anything, fearing that their indiscretion might offend one of them.

Chen Yiying watched as Liu Jiaran raised the bouquet and threw it towards her, thinking to herself, the opportunity has arrived

The boy she has a crush on has unknowingly developed the traits of a mature man. He remains wonderful, yet he is like a sun that can scorch anyone who comes too close

Yet Yiying wore an expression of urgency more befitting a eunuch than an emperor, feigning indifference as she shrugged her shoulders

The light from outside surged into her pupils in an instant, and Huimei looked at his fair cheeks against the light.

"Alright, from now on, my life will be filled by you." Qiu Zhuoping replied with a faint smile

Are you pretending to be dizzy? Qiu Zhuoping pulled Chen Yiying away and checked her body, confirming that she was indeed unscathed

Then I will head back first, let's gather again when we have time, goodbye

Yiying looked at Huimei, somewhat dumbfounded. Although Huimei had told her long ago that she practiced Taekwondo and had already earned a black belt, Yiying used to enjoy teasing and bullying her, thinking that because Huimei was petite, she must have said that just to scare her. Moreover, Huimei had never laid a hand on anyone over the years, so Yiying dismissed her words as mere talk. Unexpectedly, Huimei turned out to be a hidden expert.

A sigh of lament filled the church as Liu Jiaran watched the gradually receding figure and roared: "Qiu Zhuoping, you bastard! You bastard! Never let me see you again! I hate you to death!"

Qiu Zhuoping is set to marry Liu Jiaran, which means that Zhong Jialiang has one less rival and competitor. During work hours, he sends flowers and various small gifts to Chen Yiying, and he also includes many cash cards from supermarkets and brand-name stores tucked inside the gifts

Alright

Zhong Jialiang, whose arms and chest were struck by a palm, involuntarily staggered backward and fell onto the beach.

Zhong Jialiang disdainfully glanced at the short girl, sneering. But before he could say anything else, Huimei had already snatched Chen Yiyin from his hands.

Zhong Jialiang wanted to get up and chase after them, but he was stopped by Xu Tanshu: "Whether it's a one-on-one fight or a group brawl, you won't be able to defeat us. I advise you to stay here obediently for now"

You cannot go! As Yiying was about to run to the Shanghai Bund, Zhong Jialiang tightly grasped her arm. This time, his brows furrowed into a "川" shape, and the tenderness in his eyes completely vanished. "What do you take me for? Your plaything when you're bored? Your backup during arguments? Or have you never regarded me at all? You leave me time and again because of Qiu Zhuoping, but why? Is it that I am not good enough for you? Answer me!" Or have you never regarded me at all? You leave me time and again because of Qiu Zhuoping, but why? Is it that I am not good enough for you? Answer me!

The female colleagues in the company are particularly envious of Yiying for being favored by the chairman. In order to provoke Qiu Zhuoping, Yiying gladly accepted the gift from Zhong Jialiang and embraced him in front of his eyes

Qiu Zhuoping is determined not to rest until she drives her to the brink of anger

The first person to see this Moments post was Huimei, who had just arrived at the company and was preparing to clock in for work. She usually checks Moments in the morning, but recently she has been scrolling through it more frequently due to the incident involving Chen Yiying. Originally, she had not added Zhong Jialiang on WeChat; it was only a few days ago, after Chen Yiying publicly announced her relationship with him, that she added him.

Perhaps we all exist in such a space. In this space, each of us has an irreplaceable position and plays a role in maintaining the balance of the space. However, time causes those who originally occupied these positions to drift further away. Consequently, this space loses its balance. This balance is delicate and difficult to articulate. We all hope that those who have left their positions will return one day in the future, reclaiming their rightful place to continue maintaining the balance of this space. Yet, many times, others will come to fill these positions, allowing the space to maintain its equilibrium.

Hui Mei remembered that Xu Tan Shu once wanted to pretend to fall, deliberately pushing Qiu Zhuo Ping out to collide with Chen Yi Ying, who happened to be passing by. However, the timing was not calculated accurately; Qiu Zhuo Ping sidestepped, and Xu Tan Shu, wearing roller skates, crashed directly into the trash can. Beside the trash can, Hui Mei wore an expression of unbearable sight.

What exactly are these people trying to do? I need to find Chen Yiying and bring her back. Hui Mei was so anxious that she didn't even swipe her work card and reached out to hail a taxi

Qiu Zhuoping, just one step away from the threshold, stopped in his tracks. He slowly turned his head back, his voice as cold as ever: "Then let it be a clean break."

Chen Yiying, the person Qiu Zhuoping likes is you, and you should be clearer about this than anyone else. Qiu Zhuoping is going to marry Liu Jiaran because two years ago, when his family faced financial difficulties and needed money, Liu Jiaran helped him. Chen Yiying, the only one who can stop Qiu Zhuoping from making a wrong decision now is you. Xu Shushu took out his car keys and threw them to Chen Yiying, saying, "This is my car key, whether you go or not is up to you." Chen Yiying, the only one who can stop Qiu Zhuoping from making a wrong decision now is you. Xu Shushu took out his car keys and threw them to Chen Yiying, saying, "This is my car key, whether you go or not is up to you."

Ying, don't just stand there, hurry and drive to the church

Cooking and doing housework can be handled by a nanny, I will support whatever you like to do, I can also accompany you shopping everywhere, I do not need you to make any changes, you are you, unique and one of a kind

Qiu Zhuoping, if you walk out of this door today, we will sever all ties!" Liu Jiaran, coming to her senses, shouted at that white figure.

Hui Mei hesitated for a few seconds before dialing Xu Tan Shu's number. The call was answered by a girl who claimed to be Xu Tan Shu's temporary assistant

"Yiying, you seem a bit unhappy, what's wrong?" Zhong Jialiang, who was also scrolling through his social media feed, replied with a smiley emoji under Qiu Zhuoping's comment and added: "We will be very happy, thank you!"

"I am not unhappy, let's have a meal." Yi Ying put down her phone, sulking as she ate the delicacies, only to find that everything tasted sour. After a while, she picked up her phone again and saw that Qiu Zhuoping had also posted on Moments, stating: "The wedding will be held at the church the day after tomorrow, everyone is welcome to attend." The accompanying picture was of Liu Jiaran trying on a wedding dress.

She stared at him blankly, only then realizing how close they were. She had always regarded Qiu Zhuoping as the center of her world, never truly paying attention to the people, events, and things around her. In fact, it had always been Zhong Jialiang who appeared most frequently in her life. They had started planning to break apart Qiu Zhuoping and Chen Yiying together two years ago, having quarreled and had conflicts, but also worked together.

She once fantasized about becoming Qiu Zhuoping's bride, wearing the most beautiful wedding dress, walking hand in hand with him in the warm sea breeze. The sound of seagulls crying came from the sea, and on the beach, there were conch shells that could carry sound, while the fine sand could be shaped into the form of a castle

He learned to drive while in college and has a deep understanding of cars. He once said that if he could not become a famous painter in the future, he would pursue automotive exterior design. He is very clear about his life goals; in his world, there is no such thing as plans failing to keep up with changes. Every step of his life is meticulously planned in advance, with a strong sense of purpose. In contrast, Huimei is merely someone accustomed to laziness and ease, and she will never reach the heights he expects.

Zhong Jialiang took out his phone to capture such a delightful moment and shared it on his social media to show off his affection

"Zhuo Ping, sorry to keep you waiting, let's go in." Liu Jiaran walked to Qiu Zhuoping's side, took the bouquet from his hand, her sweet smile just as it had always been.

But Yiying, seeing him frown, offered her kiss without a word.

Hui Mei hurriedly hung up the phone, hailed a cab, and headed straight for the Nanping Art Exhibition Center. Standing at the entrance of the towering building, she suddenly felt at a loss. Should she really go find him? He is now a renowned painter; would he still care about others' affairs as he did in the past?

Later, they naturally ended up together, and our matchmaking plan came to an unannounced end Xu Lianshu said with a smile

Liu Jiaran noticed that he had not responded for a long time, so she nudged him, signaling him to answer the pastor

Therefore, this time we must not fail again; we must embody the spirit of being defeated before achieving victory!" Huimei clenched her fist

Hui Mei waved her hand, looking at his friendly smile, and felt that the distance between them had become infinitely far.

Hello

Xu Shushu started the red sports car in the parking lot, skillfully turned the car around, and drove it out of the parking lot

It is now noon, let us go eat

Qiu Zhuoping simply nodded, allowing Liu Jiaran to link her arm with his as they entered the auditorium together

Liu Jiaran dragged the long train of her wedding dress as she walked over the red carpet covered with flowers. ... The day she had longed for had finally arrived; she could finally become Qiu Zhuoping's wife, finally ... . ... But when she saw Qiu Zhuoping, her smile gradually faded.

Where is the art exhibition

Oh, over there, I see it, it looks a bit small. Xu Shunshu turned the steering wheel and pulled over to the side of the road

Then I accelerated! Xu Zhenshu glanced over, stepped on the clutch and shifted to the highest gear, and stepped on the accelerator. The sports car seemed to be able to fly.

Chen Yiyin, your appearance has truly disrupted my entire life. Qiu Zhuoping embraced Chen Yiyin, her head resting against his chest, listening to the thumping sound coming from there.

Being able to become your other half should be very happy, right? Yiyin joked with a smile, and her gaze fell on the couple outside the window.

This sentence left Liu Jiaran stunned

Zhong Jialiang, I'm sorry, I know you've been very good to me, but I only see you as my closest senior brother and a friend to chat with. The person I like has always been Qiu Zhuoping. I know I may have hurt you... Yiyin struggled, the strength on her arm getting tighter, as if trying to crush her bones. It was the first time she saw Zhong Jialiang's sharp gaze, which was very frightening, as if this person was not the Zhong Jialiang she knew.

Chen Yiyin, what are you doing! Liu Jiaran's voice mixed with the sound of heavy objects falling in the church. Everyone in the church stood up and gathered in a safe place, watching Chen Yiyin move a chair and smash the church.

Qiu Zhuoping lowered his head, seemingly in hesitation

Hui Mei slowed her pace and stopped in front of the revolving door

The camera clicked with a "snap," capturing the scene of them dining together. She quickly wrote a post for her social media: The criteria for having a boyfriend—joyful mood and improved quality of life

When Zhong Jialiang walked into the church, there was only Liu Jiaran left inside. She sat on the stairs of the church, staring blankly at the bouquet on the ground. Her once beautiful makeup had been ruined by tears, and the veil she had torn off lay quietly on the ground. She had had enough of the commotion and was tired of crying, sitting there with a tired expression on her face.

Zhong Jialiang felt a pang of compassion upon seeing her like this. He silently sat beside her, patted his shoulder, and said, "If you want to cry, I can lend you my shoulder."

The guests who were present gradually left the church, leaving behind the families of both sides and Liu Jiaran, who was causing chaos and smashing things.

Huimei looked down at Zhong Jialiang, whose true colors were revealed, with a daunting presence.

Yiyin looked at the beautiful cheongsam hanging on the hanger. She originally wanted to appear in the best condition at Qiu Zhuoping's wedding, smiling and blessing in the most proud and beautiful state, and then elegantly turning away. She would prove to him that even without him, her life would not be affected in the slightest. But she still hadn't put on that cheongsam, nor had she done her makeup. Watching time pass, she suddenly feared that she would cry uncontrollably in the church where they were getting married, and that her strength would not support her until the moment they exchanged rings.

At this point, please stop being difficult. Is being difficult more important than lifelong happiness?

The sound of the heavy object falling echoed within the church, and Liu Jiaran stared in astonishment at Yiying, who had collapsed on the ground. The bouquet in her hand had not even touched a single strand of Yiying's hair

She looked at the man whose lips were curved in a smile and, with a touch of whimsy, tightly embraced him: "From now on, your entire life can only have me!"

She and Qiu Zhuoping have also looked out at this winding road from the lighthouse. The lights at night make it look like a golden dragon, outlining the uneven edges of the city and dividing the land and the sea. Inside the road are millions of neon lights, and outside the road is a sparkling sea.

As for him, her world is very small. She can only look at the outside world through a small skylight.
