The Cliff of Eternal Sun

The porridge was ready, and the cleaning aunt also arrived. Seeing that the house was in a mess as if it had gone through a war, the aunt also maintained very excellent professionalism. Without talking much, she rolled up her sleeves and tidied up conveniently.

Ji Tangtang served Ji Suian a bowl of porridge and put it on the dining table, and after calling him over, she filled another bowl for herself, sitting opposite Ji Suian and stirring it with a spoon.She has no problem with having only a bowl of porridge for lunch. She has been cramming herself for the past few days, trying to control her weight, trying to easily stuff herself into that white mermaid skirt. Ji Suian.

After a bowl of porridge, there was something warm in his stomach, Ji Suian's face looked much better, and he asked Ji Tangtang, "What are you doing here today?"

Ji Tangtang put down the spoon, pulled the bag aside, and took out some papers.

"I read all of Dad's arrangements, but I think it's too grand, and I don't want to invite so many people, and I don't want to engage in those ceremonies." She curled her lips, "The crowd below are watching, I feel like I'm acting. So I discussed it with Wan Yuqing and decided to keep everything simple and treat it purely as a relaxing and entertaining dinner, where everyone can eat, drink and enjoy themselves, and there is no need to fix seats or anything, what do you think?"

Ji Suian didn't care too much about it: "Just as long as you think it's good."

Ji Tangtang laughed twice, and pointed to Ji Suian through the dining table to see the arrangement of flowers and desserts on the list.Ji Yanzhi spent a lot of money to hire a professional team to be responsible for all this, and they didn't need to bother much. Ji Tangtang changed his mind on the spur of the moment and wanted to replace an engagement ceremony with a dinner party. There has never been any difficulty, even if Ji Tangtang loves the style of rural banquets, they have nothing to say, and they come up with a new plan for the protagonist to make a decision in one night.

Ji Suian ate and watched, and occasionally offered a few comments. Ji Tangtang half-squatted on the table and drew circles with a brush. The living room and hallway had been tidied up and fresh flowers were placed. The windows were open for ventilation. The slightly cool wind blows in comfortably and leisurely, and the room from the living room to the dining table is bright and bright, and there is no trace of the previous gloomy shadow.

After eating, the aunt also left after cleaning. Ji Tangtang moved to the living room, lay down on the carpet and checked it again, and finally showed it to Ji Suian.After Ji Suian nodded her head, she had a bottom line in her heart.

She sat up, took out a red invitation card sprinkled with gold as if by magic, held it with both hands and handed it to Ji Suian with a smile.

Ji Suian raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised: "What is this?"

"Please."

"Didn't you say you don't want to do these rituals?"

Ji Tangtang took his hand, put the invitation into his palm, and said, "This one is different."

The girl who was always carefree seemed a little embarrassed, lying sideways on the sofa beside her, tilting her head to look at Ji Suian, waiting for him to open the invitation.

The inside is different from regular invitation cards, with a blank bottom, and Ji Tangtang's own drawings and words.On the left are him and Ji Tangtang when they were young, fearing that Ji Suian would not recognize him, he even wrote a little "Brother" on the boy's T-shirt, on the right are the grown-ups, with big heads and cute bodies , very humorous look.The headshots of the two people in the middle of the flower bushes are slightly more serious. It is the girl with a veil and Wan Yuqing in a suit. Ji Tangtang wrote a line below:

"To my dearest brother: With you by my side in the past 23 years, my luck is greater than the Milky Way. For the next road, I invite my brother to continue walking with me."

Ji Suian couldn't help laughing, felt that these sentences were a bit sour and a little hypocritical, but he was holding the only invitation card, and he couldn't bear to let it go.

In the past, Ji Tangtang also sent him many similar greeting cards. During birthdays, New Years, and Thanksgiving, the teacher assigned tasks to write gratitude cards to her favorite family members. She always chose Ji Suian , the same childish and sour words, but every piece of Ji Suian has been well preserved until now.

Ji Tangtang came over, pressed against Ji Suian's thigh, and asked him softly, "Brother, nothing will change, will it?"

Ji Suian looked down at her, and she saw some uncertain panic in her eyes.She acted relentlessly, as if she didn't care about anything, but when she was about to step into a new life, she still couldn't help showing a little timidity.

Ji Suian stretched out his hand to rub her hair, said "Yes", and said softly, "Marriage is just one more person who loves you."

Ji Tangtang stayed until four or five o'clock in the afternoon before leaving. Ji Suian wanted to drive her off, but she refused, saying that Wan Yuqing would pick her up, and the two of them would go to the mall to buy something later.

Before she left, she pushed Ji Suian into the bedroom: "You are not allowed to go anywhere today, rest at home and see you tomorrow night."

Ji Suian didn't insist anymore and sent her out of the house.

The sky is still quite clear, the sky seems to have been washed, only a few thin clouds floated tenderly above the head.The community is beautifully greened, with green trees and flowers of various colors everywhere, Ji Tangtang walked out slowly, her heart was light and she had nothing to worry about, only the breeze blowing through her made her feel terribly comfortable.

With such a mood, she turned around and saw Wei Mu while she was waiting for Wan Yuqing outside the community.

At first, she thought she was wrong, and took a few more steps in that direction.The man was cleaning up a tall iron frame outside the shop door, holding pliers and wire in his hands. Ji Tangtang stared at his side face for a long time, his heart was high and then slowly sank. She was so thin that she was almost unrecognizable, but she was indeed Wei Mu.

She suddenly understood the reason for the mess at home and Ji Suian's abnormality.

Wei Mu was so engrossed in the iron frame that he didn't notice the sight from the side for a long time, until Ji Tangtang came over and called him "Brother Wei".

Wei Mu turned his head, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and then he recognized the person in front of him: "Tangtang?"

He hasn't met Ji Suian's parents until now, but he has met Ji Tangtang many times.Ji Suian would occasionally take Ji Tangtang home on weekends. In Wei Mu's memory, she was still a high school student who was about to enter college. Because Ji Suian teased her once, Ji Tangtang remembered her hatred for a long time. She is willing to let Ji Suian watch her homework, and only let Wei Mu tutor her.In the blink of an eye, the original girl was already a full-fledged adult, and Wei Mu could only be identified by some old shadows left on her body.

Ji Tangtang pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, but his expression was still lingering with surprise: "Why are you here? I thought I was wrong when I was here, but I didn't expect it to be you!"

Wei Mu didn't know how to answer this question, so he could only smile. His mind, which had been dizzy and swollen all day, finally cleared up a little, and he even felt a little happy in his numbness. As my own sister, it is always a good thing to see her again and she is still willing to come and talk to me.

He couldn't help but said, "You've grown up so much."

"Yes," Ji Tangtang said, "After all, we haven't seen each other for several years. What a coincidence, I just met you today. Tomorrow night is my engagement banquet. Would you like to attend?"

Wei Mu was a little surprised, he didn't expect Ji Tangtang to get engaged, he said "Congratulations" first, then shook his head and refused: "I won't go."

"Why?" Ji Tangtang frowned.

At this time, a black car was parked on the side of the road not far away. Wan Yuqing got out of the car and looked in their direction. Seeing Ji Tangtang talking to someone, he stopped there and waited for her.

Ji Tangtang glanced at Wan Yuqing, and didn't say hello to him for the time being, but continued to persuade Wei Mu: "Come on, Brother Wei, my brother will also go, and you can still see me at that time."

When Ji Suian was mentioned, Wei Mu's face froze, he moved his eyes hastily, said a hoarse and short "no", and said, "He won't want to see me."

Hearing what he said, Ji Tangtang's expression became serious, and he asked in a low voice, "Have you met my brother? I was shocked when I first walked in today. The house was in such a mess that I beat someone up. It’s like a fight, my brother didn’t know how much he drank yesterday, so he fell asleep on the sofa, I couldn’t ask anything from him, I just figured it out when I saw you.”

Wei Mu said hoarsely, "I'm sorry."

He didn't know what he was apologizing for, whether it was because Ji Tangtang saw the mess, whether it caused Ji Suian to drink so much alcohol, or because of his own appearance.

Ji Tangtang stared at him, but the circles of his eyes turned red little by little: "My brother is rarely like this, and the last time was because of you. At that time, the two of you just broke up, and he shut himself at home without seeing anyone, and just drank every day. , lasted for many days. We were all terrified, and my mother came back from abroad because of this, and finally pried the door open, you don't know what he looked like at that time..."

Ji Tangtang's eyes were red, and he couldn't continue. Wei Mu's heart seemed to be pulled out of his chest, spread out under the sky, and cut open piece by piece. The pain was so painful that he couldn't even breathe.

His face was pale, and Ji Tangtang continued to say: "That time he stayed in the hospital for several days, and then slowly recovered. Although this time it is not as serious as it was a few years ago, I also feel scared."

"He only lived like this because of you. Even after so many years, it's still only because of you. I can see it even if he doesn't say it." Ji Tangtang paused and said, "He still cares about you."

Wei Mu finally raised his eyes and looked at Ji Tangtang, as if someone who had resigned himself to his fate in the dark finally saw a glimmer of light, his voice was so soft that he could hardly hear it: "Really?"

Ji Tangtang nodded: "I have blamed you before, but I don't want to see my brother suffer so much, so I want to help you reconcile."

After a long time, Wei Mu asked her, "What am I going to do?"

Ji Tangtang breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and she said to Wei Mu, "Don't worry about it, I'll make arrangements when the time comes, at least let you and my brother meet up first."

Before leaving, she told Wei Mu the address of the engagement banquet, and added: "Everything about the banquet is very casual, you don't need to worry about preparing it, as long as someone comes over when the time comes."

Wei Mu watched Ji Tangtang get into the black car not far away, and soon disappeared.The wind blew past, and the surrounding treetops rattled, and he stood there for a long time without moving.He was like a fish that was about to starve to death and fell to the bottom of the sea. Suddenly he saw some food, and he didn't know if he was holding a deadly fishing line behind him. Was his going there to improve the situation with Ji Suian as Ji Tangtang said, or to attract people? More disgust and anger, but he had no choice but to bite hard.
