Lost [Transmigration Book]

Lu Xingping said these lightly, and the surrounding air seemed to become heavy with these two light words.

The wedding staff arranged around were already ushering other people in the distance to sit down, breaking the short silence.

The sun is slowly moving westward, and the eyes that are not dazzling in winter fall through the glass cover, like the warmth flowing quietly.Cold and windy outside, peaceful and warm inside.

——except that the atmosphere between the main characters of the wedding and their friends is a bit strange.

moment.

Qiao Nanqi lowered his head slightly at first, he didn't know what kind of expression he had suppressed, and when he raised his head again, he had already recovered the unfathomable appearance when he was talking with others just now.

It's just that he was holding the wine glass too hard, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging, as if he was holding back a great impulse.

He actually smiled.

This smile is more emotional than crying.

"Okay." He just said.

Listening to other people's ears, they don't know what he is "good".

Xia Yuantu watched from the side, clearly seeing the peaceful exchange of greetings on the surface, but for some reason, looking at Qiao Nanqi's tense body, he always felt that Qiao Nanqi would collapse in the next moment.

But Qiao Nanqi didn't.

Not only did he not, he also took a sip of the wine that he had clinked with Lu Xingping, turned slightly sideways, facing Zhao Rong, clinked glasses as well, and said, "...Congratulations."

Xia Yuantu subconsciously looked away - he, an outsider, couldn't bear to look at it.

And Lu Xingping seemed ignorant of the situation brought about by his "of course" just now, glanced at Qiao Nanqi and Zhao Rong, then turned around and chatted with other people who came to greet him.

Others didn't dare to disturb Qiao Nanqi's conversation with others, so someone stepped forward and greeted Xia Yuantu.

Everything just now was like an inexplicable episode, played briefly for a moment, and then stopped.

Zhao Rong looked at Qiao Nanqi standing in front of him.

He didn't have Lu Xingping's ability to stand before a mountain collapse without changing his face, and he couldn't deal with it as calmly as other uninformed people present.

The moment he saw Qiao Nanqi just now, after being surprised, his heart skipped a beat - he didn't know why Qiao Nanqi suddenly appeared at the wedding at this time.

He had already thought that this person would not appear.

Qiao Nanqi's previous madness seemed thrilling, but in fact it was still a well-wrapped paranoia. It was just the attachment of a person who had never failed to the only thing he couldn't get.

So on the day of his and Lu Xingping's wedding, Qiao Nanqi calmed down and gave up in the end.

Just now, when Lu Xingping asked Qiao Nanqi if he had come, he heard the staff's answer, and even had a not-so-righteous thought in his mind: Look, he's still exaggerating.

Zhao Rong didn't expect Qiao Nanqi to come.

This kind of thinking is like someone speaking boldly in front of him, saying something that he didn't think would happen at the beginning, but in the end, if the person's bold words did not come true, he would always have the affirmation of "I knew it a long time ago" feel.

But if these things did happen, he began to worry about how to deal with them.

For example, now, looking at this man's seemingly calm but actually turbulent eyes, he has already begun to worry about what will happen to the wedding.

He lowered his eyes, took the wine glass that was handed to him, and clinked a drink with Qiao Nanqi in a courteous and thoughtful manner.

He said, "Thank you."

Qiao Nanqi had just faced Lu Xing, and he was able to hold his ground no matter what, but at this moment, Zhao Rong just said a light word, and the calmness in his tone stabbed him.

With a shake of his hand, a few drops of the red wine in the glass were swayed out, flowing up his arm along his hand, and instantly wet his pure white sleeves.Immediately, someone stepped forward and handed him a tissue, and his gaze fell on Zhao Rong non-stop, wiping it carefully with his hands.

It's a pity that after wiping it clean, a reddish patch was left on the sleeve.

Zhao Rong watched Qiao Nanqi wipe away the wine stains, and saw that when the man raised his hand, the cuff of his left hand was slightly pulled back, which seemed to reveal a little scabbed wound.

But Qiao Nanqi moved quickly, and the wound only flashed before Zhao Rong's eyes.

Although he didn't see it clearly, he didn't explore it either.He smiled politely at Qiao Nanqi, and started to leave.

When passing by Qiao Nanqi, the man suddenly whispered to him, "I haven't given up."

Zhao Rong paused slightly.

"you……"

"I won't affect your wedding, but I can't let it go," he suppressed his voice, his voice was slightly hoarse, "I can't let it go for the rest of my life. You can marry him, and I can continue to love you."

Zhao Rong's expression shook slightly.

Fortunately, he and Qiao Nanqi talked sideways, and the other party couldn't see his expression clearly.

He immediately restrained his expression, walked away quickly, and together with Lu Xingping, went to talk to some other important guests.

Only then did Xia Yuantu lean forward, hesitated for a while, and said, "Why don't you go back? You can see it, you can ask it..."

What are you doing here to make things difficult for yourself?

This was too direct, and Xia Yuantu didn't say it.

That day when it was snowing heavily, he went to Zhao Rong's house to pick up Qiao Nanqi. He already felt that Qiao Nanqi was too embarrassed, not as calm and calm as before Zhao Rong left.

But after returning home, during the few days before the wedding, Qiao Nanqi hid in the house every day, repeating the phrase "Happy Newly Married", crying many times in places where no one saw.At that time, Xia Yuantu felt that it would be better to give Qiao Nanqi some hope, even if it was in the snow that day, at least it would cheer up Qiao Nanqi.

At this moment, Qiao Nanqi seemed to have really returned to his usual appearance, as if he had cheered up, but Xia Yuantu felt that it was not as good as it was a few days ago.

Now like this...

The more well-dressed and radiant you look on the outside, the more lifeless you are on the inside.

"Someone came to talk to you just now." Qiao Nanqi ignored his advice at all, "Are they talking about our business?"

Xia Yuantu didn't expect him to notice that he was like this, and was about to make jokes to get over it, Qiao Nanqi said again: "I don't want to wait until the wedding is over to use my means to ask them, you tell me the truth."

Xia Yuantu had no choice but to tell the truth: "It's nothing... just came to ask me a few words, are you..."

"...Is it because Xingping is getting married?"

Qiao Nanqi's heart twitched violently.

"anything else?"

"It's nothing, just ask me again." Xia Yuantu really didn't want to say it, but he also knew Qiao Nanqi's ability, so he could only stammer and say, "Since Xingping is married to the object of the engagement, you don't have anyone in your heart now." , you...you...cough, you have been single for so many years, shouldn't you also find someone by your side, there is a daughter in their family who is not engaged..."

Xia Yuantu felt like he was about to suffocate.

He didn't even understand how Lu Xingping was able to withstand Qiao Nanqi's pressure just now, as he was also friends who grew up together. He was almost out of breath now?

He bit the bullet and finished: "Or if you like a man like Xing Ping, they can also hook up..."

Qiao Nanqi paused slightly.

He knew why Xia Yuantu hesitated to speak.

"Single for so many years".

"Since Xingping is married."

moment.

Someone came to urge them to take their seats. Zhao Rong and Lu Xingping had already walked to the front with a smile one after the other. The wedding staff on both sides pulled out some kind of fireworks.

All of a sudden, in the venue, under the sun, colorful balloons and scattered sparkling papers fluttered with the sound of the salute, as if endless prosperity fell from the sky.

Someone passed by his side, who seemed to be a friend of Zhao Rong's side, who didn't know him and Xia Yuantu, and chatted fiercely: "I heard that Zhao Rong used to have someone in his family, and he liked it very much, and he always came outside. It's fishy. I didn't expect to marry this man surnamed Lu in the end..."

"In the past, most of the girls in the class sent him love letters to express their love. I didn't expect him to like a man. But...don't say it, it's the condition of another groom today. If it's me, it's a man. Also willing."

"You don't have big dreams of spring and autumn! But, tell me, what was Zhao Rong's former family like? This is a different person, and we haven't seen it once until now."

"Maybe it's mediocre, with nothing to recommend it. Don't even think about it. Even though Zhao Rong said he liked the one at home, after all, he married someone else and didn't show him to us. Maybe there is something wrong with him." You can't see people on the stage..."

"That's right, maybe he just doesn't like drinking or smoking, and uses the one at home as an excuse. It's useless to say that he likes it. If he really likes it, how could he not show it to everyone all the time?"

"..."

The staff urged them again.

Qiao Nanqi lowered his head slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and laughed self-deprecatingly.

He felt that the words he had worked so hard to get used to in the past few days should not be "happy newlyweds".

Rather, it should be "deserved".

Xia Yuantu seemed to be still talking about everything beside him, but he couldn't listen to it at all.

There was a lot of disturbance around him, but none of them could reach his ears.

Amid the hustle and bustle, he sat quietly in the first row.

When he sat down, he saw several people in black suits behind him, some were holding documents, some were holding photographic equipment, as if they were recording something.

Maybe a recorder for a wedding.

Qiao Nanqi had no intention of caring about others at the moment, so he just glanced at him and then looked away.

He didn't even know when the wedding started.

All he knew was that Zhao Rong and Lu Xingping were at the forefront, with faint smiles on their faces, following the procedures step by step.

And he would only raise his hand mechanically when the applause sounded, and applaud along with him, but he didn't know why he was clapping.

My heart throbbed and ached.

Xia Yuantu asked him every few minutes if he would go or not, but he didn't speak, and still looked up at Zhao Rong.The more he couldn't let go, the more he didn't want to miss Zhao Rong every moment in front of him.

He was actually a little thankful that the seat in the first row gave him the best cover, so that others would not find his unhidden sight.

The sun is still slowly shifting.

I don't know how long it has passed, it may be very fast for those present - this wedding actually has no steps, but for Qiao Nanqi, every second is like a year.

When Zhao Rong and Lu Xingping exchanged rings, Qiao Nanqi watched Zhao Rong open the jewelry box brought by others.

He raised his hand subconsciously and touched the two rings on his chest that were hidden under his collar and strung together by necklaces.It is completely different from the one that Zhao Rong picked up slowly, but it was carefully selected by Zhao Rong.

But Zhao Rong wouldn't let him wear it, so he could only hide it quietly under his collar.

He didn't know how many times he said to himself, Qiao Nanqi, you really deserve it.

In front.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhao Rong picked up the ring that he needed to put on Lu Xingping from the jewelry box.

Both he and Lu Xingping just smiled faintly at the guests, and followed the process of other people's reports, just to fulfill the requirements of the confidentiality agreement.So when it came time to exchange the rings, Zhao Rong didn't think too much, and even thought in his heart—a little sleepy, it seemed that it was almost over.

Lu Xingping had already extended his hand to him.

He lightly grasped the ring, and when he lowered his head, he caught sight of Qiao Nanqi who was sitting in the first row from the corner of his eye.

The man is looking at him.

The man seemed to be watching him.

Those eyes were full of despair and struggle, dark and deep, as if they were connected to an extinguished galaxy, and also as if they were imprisoned by a powerless beast, howling silently.

He did not give up attending this wedding.

He also didn't step forward to obstruct it regardless of what he said in the snowy day that day.

Zhao Rong was startled, and subconsciously loosened his fingertips.

Seeing that the ring was about to fall from his hand under the eyes of everyone, Lu Xingping quickly grabbed his hand and caught the ring, as if nothing had happened, and said, "Come on, put it on for me." superior."

"Okay." Zhao Rong smiled and sent him a thankful look silently.

on the first row of seats.

From Qiao Nanqi's angle, he couldn't see the ring slipping from Zhao Rong's hand, he could only see Zhao Rong leaning towards his face.

Through his shirt, he grasped the ring hanging around his neck with all his strength, his eyes fell on the front, and he saw that Lu Xingping seemed to raise his hand at this moment, gently——

Grab Zhao Rong's hand.

It's like holding each other in front of everyone.

Then, he saw that Zhao Rong raised his eyes, those tender peach blossom eyes were slightly bent, and he smiled at Lu Xingping.
