We said yes, forever

Chapter 23: The Beach of Love (2)
He grabbed her and said sincerely, "Can I apologize?"

Ding Dong turned her head and glanced not far away, those beautiful men and women were all looking at them in unison, she turned her back in embarrassment, with a slightly awkward expression, "Why are you apologizing?"

"Then what are you embarrassed about?"

Ding Dong bit his lip, stubborn and embarrassed, "Paparazzi is not an honorable profession."

She was having a temper like a child, Zhou Jingxuanlin's eyes were full of tenderness, and he walked out slowly with his arms around her shoulders, "Then I have to say sorry, I didn't consider your feelings just now. "

Ding Dong glanced at his hand on her shoulder, his whole body stiffened, "I accept your apology, you let go of your hand, do you really want to gossip with a paparazzi reporter?"

"I am willing, I have to hype this drama. Tomorrow's headline must be that the boss of Huacheng and the paparazzi gossip girlfriend appeared on the set of 'Love Beach', and the intimate action is about to happen."

Ding Dong couldn't hear the ambiguity in his words at all, and focused on a few words in it, "This film is called Love Beach?"

"Yes."

She asked mysteriously, "Then who is the investor?"

Zhou Jingxuan put away Diao Erlang's appearance, and said two words, "Qin."

He immediately laughed and dropped another bomb, "That Rao Zhu is Qin Yuan's new love."

Ding Dong suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at him in surprise.

"Hasn't Qin Yuan been going back to the seaside villa recently? That's right. With Xinhuan singing every night, that old house is really meaningless. After guarding the old house for so many years, he is finally willing to come out."

"Long-loving men are rare animals, but there is one here." He opened his arms to her, "My dear sister Ding Dong, quickly come to my brother's arms."

Ding Dong rolled his eyes at him, and turned his head to look at the girl in white in the distance for the last time, as if he was connected with each other, and the other party was also looking at her thoughtfully, with a bit of thought, Ding Dong turned back expressionlessly, thinking about himself went to the front.

Zhou Jingxuan caught up with her with a smile, and said casually, "Hey, that boy Qin Yuan, he still tastes the same after all these years."

"Huh? What flavor?" Ding Dong sensitively caught something.

Zhou Jingxuan smiled dimly, "It's nothing, you'll know when the movie comes out."

When Zhou Jingxuan sent Ding Dong back to the seaside villa, it was already the beginning of the lights, and the sea was beating against the shore. Ding Dong was blowing the sea breeze and thought, he was right, the most constant thing in this world is change. Fortunately, the sea is still there, no matter how people change their minds, The sea still accompanies people to sleep.

Before entering the door, Anan opened the door and came out, nodded to her, but stopped when she rubbed shoulders with her, "He has been drinking a lot lately, please persuade him."

Before Ding Dong could answer, he left.

Ding Dong stood under the starlight for a while, then opened the door and went in.

Qin Yuan was sitting with Mai Mai at the dining table and playing chess, looked up at her indifferently, and continued to play chess.

Seeing a glass of red wine on the table, Ding Dong subconsciously frowned.

In the evening, she told Maimai a story, and Maimai finally fell asleep. Ding Dong was in a daze on the bed, but heard a knock on the door.

She sat there for a while, then came back to her senses and ran to open the door.

How to explain it, people have not seen it yet, and their hearts are already in a mess.

When the door opened, the eyes of the two were involuntarily intertwined. Qin Yuan held a box in both hands and said in a low voice, "There is a dinner party the day after tomorrow, you are going to have it."

He handed the box to Ding Dong, with a charming voice in the dark night, "Take it."

Ding Dong weighed it, the box was quite light, "What's inside?"

"Your skirt. At that time, Anan will come to pick you up, and someone will come to make you up."

"Dinner?" Ding Dong was at a loss, "I have never been to such an occasion, I...do I have to go? It will embarrass you."

Qin Yuan smiled lightly, his voice touched the heartstrings, "It's just an ordinary dinner, you have always been brave."

"Go to bed early." He turned and left, the intoxicating aroma of wine wafting in the air.

"Wait!" Ding Dong suddenly stopped him.

He turned around and looked at her quietly.

Ding Dong almost drowned in those eyes, and it took him a long time to find his voice, "Drinking alcohol hurts your body, don't drink it, okay?"

She didn't know what position she had to persuade him not to drink. Such words of concern should come from his family, his lover, and even the girl named Rao Zhu. She was the only one who had no position, but she still said it, and she didn't regret.

She just wanted him to be well, walk into the sun, and smile more.

As soon as the words came out, she waited for his ridicule, but didn't want him to answer unexpectedly, "Okay."

Back in the room, Ding Dong opened the box, and a simple red dress was in front of her. She changed into the dress, walked in front of the mirror, and opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

Is that her in the mirror?

The blood-like glamorous red dress outlined her curvy figure, and against her white skin, she seemed to have been completely reborn.

The size of the skirt was just right, as if the skirt was tailor-made for her, Ding Dong looked at his beautiful self in the mirror again and again, and smiled sweetly, reluctant to take off this magical skirt.

The day of the dinner was coming soon, Anan came to pick her and Jiang Hailan up at dusk, and went to the banquet with them, which made Ding Dong feel a lot more relaxed. Jiang Hailan was full of praise for her dress, and even helped her put on light makeup, "Come on Take a look, red lips and a red dress are perfect. Charming poppies, men are just waiting to be seduced."

"Sister Lan, it's too coquettish, it doesn't suit me at all."

Ding Dong made a gesture to wipe it, but was stopped by Jiang Hailan, and said angrily, "Wipe what? I warn you, don't destroy my masterpiece of art."

The Queen spoke, Ding Dong had no choice but to give up.

The dinner was held at the Qin family's own manor. When the car slowly drove into the manor, Ding Dong realized that the "ordinary dinner" Qin Yuan called was so grand and grand. Champagne shuttled among them, a classical band cheered on the guests, well-dressed men and women in twos and threes, holding wine glasses and talking happily.

This so-called upper-class banquet suddenly made Ding Dong unable to move his feet. In the past, when she attended banquets with starlets, she just stood outside the door and looked at the world that did not belong to her. She never thought that one day she would be there too. Wearing a beautiful evening dress in it, everything in front of her eyes is too unreal, she is like a clown who stumbled into it by mistake, and cannot find her own place in this place.

This is Qin Yuan's world, which is also Zhou Jingxuan's, but not hers.

Jiang Hailan got out of the car calmly, and gave her a tug, "What are you in a daze for? Get out of the car."

Ding Dong hurriedly got out of the car, his hands and feet were stiff.

Jiang Hailan sensed her nervousness and gave her a contemptuous look, "What are you nervous about? They are just pious and well-dressed men and women. I don't know how dirty they are in private. No one is nobler than anyone else. Hold your head up and chest out , take a deep breath, and go with my sister."

"I saw a lot of filthy men and women when I was an entertainment reporter, but I still have weak legs." Ding Dong smiled helplessly, with a timid expression on his face, "The poor are short-tempered. Just looking at the numbers in the passbook will make you lose your head."

"Stupid." Jiang Hailan glared at her with charming eyes, "Remember, the value of a woman is not measured by the numbers in her passbook."

"What's the use?" Ding Dong was a little confused.

Jiang Hailan smiled slightly at his handsome man, raised his chin and said, "Naturally the man standing beside her."

After finishing speaking, she turned to Anan and asked Anan, "Husband, are you right?"

Anan was noncommittal, his cold side face released a trace of tough man's tenderness.

But Ding Dong couldn't hear her for a long time, just because she saw that stalwart figure not far away, he was wearing a suit and bow tie, with a stern face, occasionally a polite smile, and a dignified aura all over his body, there was no one more outstanding than him in the audience Men can easily grab women's attention.

But there was a beautiful woman standing beside him, Ding Dong looked intently and recognized the girl named Rao Zhu.

The image of a handsome man and a beautiful woman was too dazzling, she turned her head, not knowing why the feeling of loss in her heart was for.

Jiang Hailan giggled, leaned close to Ding Dong's ear and whispered softly, "Get rid of the obtrusive woman next to Qin Yuan, and then stand beside him, you are the Queen tonight."

"But why should I stand next to him?" Ding Dong subconsciously frowned, looked at the radiant Rao Zhu beside Qin Yuan again, and suddenly smiled, "Look at them standing together, how right they are."

"Stubbornly obsessed with obsession, never awakened from deep love." Jiang Hailan whispered vaguely.

"Miss Lan, what did you say?"

"It's nothing, I'll go over there with Brother Nan to say hello, you can go around alone." Jiang Hailan smiled and took her husband Anan's hand, then winked at Ding Dong, "Remember that you are beautiful, and then Smile! "

After speaking, leaving Ding Dong alone, the husband and wife walked towards their acquaintances.

"It's really not loyal enough." Ding Dong muttered dissatisfiedly, so he had to wander around by himself, and he didn't see Zhou Jingxuan, but received a hot gaze from a strange man not far away.

That gaze was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, entangled and approached dangerously, grabbing her breath.

Although this man has a luxurious appearance, he is too feminine, and he is not a good person at first glance. She turned her head to avoid the almost naked eyes of the man.

She stood alone in the corner of the grass, thankful that there was a shadow that could block her.

Originally just a small sip of champagne, he began to sip it unknowingly, his eyes always slipped in that direction from time to time, just like the young unmarried women in the audience, only the luminous man in his eyes, he chatted with the guests, his expression Indifferent and polite, he supported a female guest who was about to fall, and attracted admiring and admiring eyes from the other party, but he had already turned and left.

He was always accompanied by that delicate and beautiful girl, a pair of lovers.

Ding Dong drank champagne thoughtfully, unable to figure out the meaning of her standing here, and couldn't get rid of the chest tightness.

The melodious music sounded again, and it was time for men and women to dance together.

A burst of applause brought Ding Dong back from his thoughts.

I saw Qin Yuan holding Rao Zhu, walking slowly to the center of the grass amidst the jealousy of men and the envy of women, holding hands and dancing in the eyes of everyone blessing, Rao Zhu only had Qin Yuan in his eyes, and his shy smile could not hide happiness , They seem to have gathered all the light of this night, making people wish them from the bottom of their hearts.

Ding Dong stood in this corner, the world seemed to stand still, she could see nothing else in her eyes, only the man surrounded by everyone's eyes.

She couldn't turn her head away either, because Qin Yuan in the middle of the dance floor was holding someone else's arm, but his eyes were always gazing in her direction, chasing the little girl in the corner with that kind of affectionate eyes that broke his heart.

She thought she was dazzled, and finally lowered her head to avoid his gaze, but the feeling of being chased was too strong, she raised her head subconsciously, and it was still his deep eyes that met her.

The throbbing heart jumped up uncontrollably, but the eyes couldn't move away from his eyes like a demon.

The two of them stared at each other from a short distance away.

Ding Dong's heart ached so suddenly that he almost died, why did you keep looking at me so sadly even though you were holding someone else's hand?What on earth do you want to do?
The tingling pain in her chest came without warning, no, she couldn't stay any longer, she would go crazy if she stayed any longer.

She lifted the hem of her skirt, turned and fled towards the secluded garden.

She fled almost in desperation, looking for the air that would allow her to breathe freely, the sound of music was gradually forgotten by her, and she gasped for breath in the fragrant garden, her mind was full of Qin Yuan's painful voice Looking at her eyes, she shook her head vigorously, trying to get that person out of her mind, but she couldn't do it anyway.

She suddenly felt very tired, her nose was sore, and the emotions brewing in her body made her at a loss as to what to do, she really wanted to cry.

But she can't cry, she can't find any reason to cry, she has a fiancé, and she will soon return to the peaceful life in the past, that man only exists in her dreams, is a too beautiful bubble, she Just an outsider, she has no reason to be deeply involved.

Qin Yuan is a dream that she cannot reach and cannot touch.

Ding Dong convinced himself by leaning his hands on a big tree, and gradually calmed down his heartbeat. He straightened his waist, but he sensitively sensed movement in the nearby grass.

There is someone behind her!

Ding Dong turned around in panic, and saw a man standing under the shadow of a tree. She held her breath and watched the man walk out of the shadow of the tree slowly. After a while, he suddenly called out in surprise.

"Brother Cheng?" Ding Dong blurted out.

She never expected to meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country. A man named "Cheng Ge" once rented downstairs of her house for half a year. He was a taciturn young man who called himself A Cheng. She came into contact with strange youths, and they would not have met, but one rainy day, her parents were not at home, and when she went downstairs to buy something, she had a headache and fell in the rain. He passed by and took her home, and both of them were wet After being drowned, he went home and cooked a big bowl of instant noodles for her, and only then did they get in touch and understand each other.

She didn't know where he was from, but only knew that his name was A Cheng, he was six years older than her, he was good at cooking, he had been to many places, and that he was receiving psychotherapy and taking antidepressant drugs during those six months.

She heard that people suffering from depression can easily think about committing suicide. She was always afraid that the silent young man downstairs would die one day. One day she plucked up the courage to persuade him to live well, but when she knocked on the door, she found that he had suddenly died the day before. Moved away and just left her a letter on the empty floor.

There is only one sentence on the letter paper: keep the last beauty in this world, little girl.

Many years later, Ding Dong still didn't understand the meaning of what he said. When she saw this letter, Ding Dong thought he was going to die. She was very sad. At that time, she cried for a long time in his room, and always felt that if she didn't Hesitate, and he might survive.

She didn't expect to meet him many years later, seeing him well, and meeting him on such an occasion, suddenly felt that the world became small and full of unexpected coincidences.

"Ding Ding." Ah Cheng still called her as he did back then,

"Brother Cheng, it's really you!" Ding Dong stepped forward ecstatically, his beautiful eyes flashed with touching surprise, "You still remember me!"

"The little girl upstairs, how could I forget?" Ah Cheng had a pair of sad eyes. At this moment, these eyes were looking carefully at Ding Dong's face, and smiled slightly, "Now I am a big girl."

"Brother Cheng, I didn't expect to meet you here. How have you been all these years?" Ding Dong was still concerned about his depression. She had seen the antidepressant pills he hid in the drawer, and knew that he stayed up all night. Unable to sleep, gloomy eyes are often dead and lifeless.

Ah Cheng saw the faint worry in her eyes, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Little girl, have you missed me all these years?"

Ding Dong blushed, and said "Yeah", "In these years, I always think of you when I eat biscuits. The big brother downstairs can bake the most delicious biscuits in the world, but unfortunately I can't eat them anymore."

Back then, Ah Cheng was an otaku, and he was good at baking biscuits. He said that when he was in France, he had learned pastry desserts from a Michelin two-star pastry chef for a year. He would show his skills when he was in a good mood. Ding Dong would stare at the oven like a greedy cat, and look at Ah Cheng as if he were looking at a delicious and attractive cake, and he would often be ridiculed by him.

"Even if it's a big girl, the nature of the little greedy cat is hard to change." Ah Cheng's relaxed tone seemed to have returned to the past.

Ding Dong thought of the two bags full of biscuits that Ah Cheng left her when he left. He left, but the residual warmth of the biscuits was still there, just like his often gloomy black eyes, hiding a trace of undetectable warmth.

She asked, "Brother Cheng, why did you move away suddenly?"

"I was found by my family and stayed in the hospital for a while." Ah Cheng said in a casual tone, "Fortunately, I was hospitalized in time, otherwise I would be a pile of bones now."

He looked at her calmly, "During the half a year living downstairs with you, I went to the rooftop several times and wanted to jump off."

Ding Dong stared at him like he was looking at a monster.

He actually smiled, and his indifferent handsome face became lively, "But I didn't jump, do you know why?"

"……why?"
