Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

"Beep beep..."

The phone rang.

It's Chen Hai.

"Senior, how have you been lately?"

"Great! What's up? Is something the matter?"

"Nothing else, it's just that my sister is getting married on May 2nd at the Jinxiu Five-Star Hotel. She wanted to ask if you have time to come to the wedding?"

Chen Yang is getting married.

Qi Tongwei got off the rattan chair, lit a cigarette, and seemed to have forgotten what she looked like.

"Senior?"

"I am listening."

“My sister said that if you don’t have time to come, then it’s fine. She’s worried that you’ll feel bad.”

Uncomfortable?

Qi Tongwei didn't know what to say.

Is it Chen Yangxiang?

It might smell nice, but compared to Xiao Ai, who can be both salty and sweet, it's like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.

"Tell your sister that I will definitely attend the wedding. Oh, and... I will bring Xiao Ai with me."

After hanging up Chen Hai's call, Qi Tongwei stubbed out his cigarette and dialed Zhong Xiaoai's number.

"What? Chen Yang is getting married the day after tomorrow? At a five-star hotel? And he's inviting you to the wedding?"

"Go, you absolutely have to go! Tongwei, don't back down. If she's genuinely inviting you, that's fine, but if she's trying to embarrass you, then nobody's going to have a good May Day holiday!"

Chapter Fifty: When you go to see the girl you like, remember to send her flowers.

Zhong Xiaoai's words, "Don't even celebrate May Day," made Qi Tongwei's liver ache.

Pain is useless.

In fact, Chen Hai had mentioned before that Chen Yang's husband was named Xu Tianyi, an outstanding businessman who ran several construction companies. Even the county committee building in Jinshan County was built after he won the bid.

Rumor has it that he's worth over 100 million.

That was back in the 1990s!

Of course, if Xu Tianyi wasn't outstanding enough, how could Chen Yanshi and Wang Fuxiang have married their daughter into his family?

These two old people are people even Director Qi looks down on.

The son-in-law they approve of must have outstanding qualities, or at least be very capable.

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei smiled knowingly.

He had long since lost feelings for Chen Yang, but he still hoped that the other person could be happy, and also... to put an end to his own past on campus.

Before he knew it, he had pulled out the pair of faded sneakers again.

"Goodbye."

With a murmur, Qi Tongwei picked up the pair of sneakers that had been with him for many years and walked straight to the trash can.

From then on, we parted ways.

More importantly, he was afraid that Zhong Xiaoai would see the sneakers one day. That woman was petty and held grudges. If she found out... well, neither of them would have an easy time.

The next day.

Qi Tongwei got up very early, without even having breakfast. After saying goodbye to his father, he left home and embarked on his journey to Jingzhou.

We arrived in Jingzhou at eleven o'clock.

Still no time for dinner, I rushed to the flower shop, had the owner pick out a bouquet, and then sprinted towards the train station. (Remember, when meeting a girl you like, always bring a bouquet of flowers. Audrey Hepburn said that no girl, no matter her age, can resist flowers!) (Friendly reminder: Don't give flowers to married women, you might get beaten up.)

I arrived at the station at exactly 11:30.

Qi Tongwei straightened his clothes, held the flowers in his hands, stood straight, and looked at her with gentle eyes.

The crowd hurried by.

He remained motionless until Zhong Xiaoai appeared, at which point a smile appeared on his lips.

Today, Zhong Xiaoai is wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, canvas shoes, a high ponytail, and a black backpack, looking every bit the student.

"Hey, are these flowers for me?"

"Ah."

Qi Tongwei politely handed over the flowers, and at the same time... took Zhong Xiaoai's backpack.

As they stepped out of the station, a ray of sunlight fell on Zhong Xiaoai's cheek, the warmth of youthful energy mingling with hers, and Qi Tongwei swallowed hard.

So delicious.

"You scoundrel, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing," Qi Tongwei said casually. "By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you? My treat."

"it is good."

Half an hour later, the two returned to the wonton shop and each ordered a bowl of wontons.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Tongwei bought another candied hawthorn.

"Tongwei, I'm not a little kid anymore, why are you buying me candied hawthorns?"

"sweet."

Zhong Xiaoai smiled, took the candied hawthorn, took a bite, and found it incredibly sour.

"Mmm, it's so sweet."

It was already 2 PM when they left the wonton shop. Zhong Xiaoai pulled Qi Tongwei into the mall.

They said they would give him a decent set of clothes.

"I'm not the groom, so I don't need to buy new clothes. This is fine."

"You still want to be the groom?"

"Misunderstanding!" Qi Tongwei shuddered and quickly explained, "I mean, I'm not the focus of the wedding, so there's no need for me to dress so formally."

"Nonsense! You're my boyfriend. You have to give me some face when we're out in public, right? Besides, don't you want to prove yourself back then?"

"Forehead……"

Qi Tongwei had nothing to say.

Logically speaking, when Qi Tongwei was with Chen Yang, he was always the one who gave more.

The main reason was that his family was poor. He felt that it was a stroke of good luck for Chen Yang to be interested in him, so he had to treat him well.

But Chen Yang didn't cherish that relationship.

After a few words between Chen Yanshi and Wang Fuxiang, she backed down and stopped insisting. Coupled with their long-distance relationship, it was a breakup through emotional abuse.

Of course, Qi Tongwei was one of those who were abandoned.

Now, after meeting Zhong Xiaoai, Qi Tongwei has figured out many things.

That's right, my family is poor.

If Zhong Xiaoai didn't look down on him, why should Chen Yang? Or is it that the Chen family is more powerful than the Zhong family?

To put it bluntly, it's just that I don't love her.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot, come on, try this dress on."

"it is good."

Qi Tongwei is 1.8 meters tall with broad shoulders, and with long-term exercise, his physique and appearance are impeccable.

After changing into new clothes, her overall demeanor instantly improved.

Zhong Xiaoai nodded in satisfaction. "Waitress, how much is this outfit?"

"Original price 400, discounted price 320."

Upon hearing the price, Qi Tongwei took off his clothes without hesitation.

320! That's almost a month's salary.

These prices are insane!

"wrap up."

Although the clothes were expensive, Zhong Xiaoai gritted her teeth and took out her small wallet.

The Zhong family has its own rules.

This amount of money was not a small sum for her, but for Qi Tongwei, she was willing to save every penny.

"Xiao Ai, the clothes are too expensive."
