marriage plan

Chapter 31
The ever-expanding pain in her heart told her that the more intense the kiss, the more intense the pain would be. Her eyes were hot, and the tears were about to fall. She tried her best to hold back the tears, and it turned out that the tears flowed back into her heart. The taste is so bitter...

He finally let her go and stared into her eyes, but she chuckled and pushed him away, "My mother is too! The older you get, the more romantic you are! You still want to do this! This scene is too much, next time I will play it She and Dad are going out like this!"

He smiled sadly, "Where are they?"

Looking around, there was nowhere to be seen. There was a beautiful card on the altar of the pastor, which read: Celebrate the wedding of my family Yanyan and Qibaomu.There are so many ups and downs in life, and difficulties and perplexities are the only way to go. If you encounter them, let’s recall the most beautiful moment in your life together, and recall the vows you made before the Lord. As long as you don’t leave, all the storms will pass.

Chu Qi smiled while holding the card, "My mom can really do it!"

Turning around and walking out of the church quickly, I just don't want him to see that unbearable tears finally flow down...

When I returned to the hotel that night, the first thing I did on the seventh day of the lunar new year was to look for the necklace everywhere, but I searched every corner of the carpet, but couldn't find it.

She stood beside the bed, very melancholy.

Shen Yan has been watching her, took out the necklace from his pocket, and hung it on his fingertips, "Are you looking for it?"

Chu Qi looked back, and a flash of joy flashed, "So you took it! So stingy! Can you take back the gift you gave? See? My name is engraved, who else can you give it to?"

Shen Yan smiled slightly, but didn't say that he picked it up on the ground...

Walking over, trying to help her put it on, Chu Qi reached out to take it, put it back into the jewelry box, and stuffed it into the bag.

Shen Yan's hand that was about to put the necklace on her froze in the air for a while, when he put it down, he remembered that she used to want to show off the jewelry he gave her, and immediately put it on as if she wanted to show off to the whole world.

"Shen Yan, what do the words engraved on the pendant mean?" Chu Qi asked casually.

"..." Shen Yan opened his mouth, a little embarrassed, it seemed that this kind of atmosphere was really not suitable for talking.But, why are some words so natural to say before, but now I can't say them?Is it fear?He, I don't know...

"Ask you? Why don't you speak?" Chu Qi thought he was weird.

"It means... happy birthday..."

"Oh! Thank you!" It turned out that this is the most common necklace in an Italian shopping mall, with no special meaning.

Shen Yan watched her back as she hurried into the bathroom, a wry smile similar to self-deprecating appeared...

During the days in Venice, Mama Mi was very happy and always left time and space for the two of them. Chu Qi didn't know if it was intentional or not.In the words of Mama Mi, she and Papa Mi are also going to find the footprints of youth, and they will not interfere with each other.

Mom said that seeing her and Shen Yan like this made her very relieved. After this trip to Venice, she would return to the United States with Papa Mi, and asked her to learn to be tolerant in her future life.

Are you going back?Chu Qi has unspeakable entanglements in his heart.She once thanked her parents for visiting them this time; she also expected them to go back soon, but now that she really wants to go back, her heart seems to have been hollowed out. This time, it is really empty...

That's ok, it's a complete relief...

In fact, Venice is a very small city, and there are not many scenic spots in a place less than 8 square kilometers. I have already seen the exhibitions in those museums on the seventh day of the lunar new year, and I am not so interested in revisiting them again and again. Therefore, I just ride Gombala with Shen Yan every day. Take a walk on the river, or wander around town on foot.

Chuqi likes those pigeons in Piazza San Marco.

She stretched out her arms, and Shen Yan covered her with a tablecloth. The tablecloth was sprinkled with bread crumbs, and the pigeons rushed towards her, landed on her shoulders and arms, and pecked at the bread crumbs.

Chu Qi raised her face, let the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkle on her face, closed her eyes, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and her peaceful smile was as beautiful as the moonlight.

Just standing there motionless, like a wooden figure, she remembered the game called We Are All Wooden Figures, which she used to play with Shen Yan, and whoever lost would be punished, and their punishments were constantly changing from small to large. At first, the loser does homework for the winner, whoever loses carries their schoolbags, whoever loses cleans the classroom after school, etc., and later on, whoever loses kisses each other...

However, it seems that Shen Yan loses every time...

How does it feel to lose?

Chu Qi suddenly opened his eyes, met Shen Yan's misty eyes, was startled by her eyes, dodged, panicked.

She sneered and shouted, "We are all wooden people, we are not allowed to speak or move!"

Shen Yan was suddenly called out by her, and looked at her inexplicably.

She closed her eyes with a smile, frightened the pigeons all over her body with a wave of her arm, and the tablecloth fell off. She stood on tiptoe, hugged his neck, pecked his lips, and ran away laughing, "Haha! This time It was you who won!"

From the moment she started yelling, to when she kissed him, and then to when she ran away, Shen Yan was really a "wooden figure" throughout the whole process. He didn't react until her figure disappeared in the crowd and could never be seen again. , hastily picked up the tablecloth she dropped and threw it into the trash can, and chased in the direction she left.

There were a lot of people on the street, which hindered his pursuit. While pushing through the crowd, he tiptoed to look around. The familiar figure flickered in and out of the crowd, and he shouted, "Seven! Seven!"

However, the distance was too far, the voices of people were buzzing, and the pigeons were cooing, so she couldn't hear his call.

When the lights came on, after a few detours and crossing the bridge, he finally got close to her, put his hand on her shoulder, "Seven! Why are you running so fast!"

She looked back, wearing a mask on her face, and her pupils under the mask were bright and moist.

"I'm sorry, you recognized the wrong person!" The person said in English under his throat.

Shen Yan smiled, and stretched out his hand to take off her mask. Who else is the beautiful and mischievous face under the mask except her?He has stared at each other for 20 years and remembered those beautiful and moist eyes for a lifetime. How could he admit his mistake?

Chu Qi's lips were pouting high, "It's not fun! This way you can recognize me too! Won't you pretend that you don't know me?"

"You said, lying is not a good boy!" Shen Yan's black eyes sparkled with a smile.

There are several mask sellers on both sides of the street, the carnival night in Venice, the crazy masquerade, although it is not the season, but the masks are available all year round.

Chu Qi walked over, bought another one, and put it on for Shen Yan.

Five years ago, Shen Yan had promised her that he would accompany her to Venice again during the carnival, but because of the company's affairs, it has never been fulfilled. She thought that she and him would never have another season of carnival, so, Today, the last day of the trip to Venice, can she make up for this regret?
On this night that is not a carnival, there is no parade, and no one sings and dances with them, but it doesn't matter, this is a carnival exclusive to the two of them!
"Shen Yan! Come! Come! Let's sing! Dance! Dance till dawn!" She laughed loudly, pulling him into the crowd.

Shen Yan followed her dully, she was always so unexpected, sometimes even like a lunatic, while he had been with her for 20 years...

"Shen Yan! Be cooperative! Maybe this is the last time you come to Venice!" She held his hand, her voice coquettishly soft.

"Why? You can come if you want to come in the future!" He remembered that he had promised her to accompany her to the carnival.

She smiled shyly, thankfully she was covered by a mask, and he couldn't see her sadness, "Yan, Mom said, after returning from Venice, she and Dad returned to China, and then, I also..."

She couldn't say the rest of the words, her throat was already choked, and she was afraid that if she said any more, she would cry first.

She lowered her eyes a little, sorted out her emotions, and when she looked up again, it was still her smiling eyes.

His pupils constricted, and he reached out to take off her mask, "Seven...Actually, I..."

"Come on! Let's go!" She interrupted him with a bright smile, avoided his hand, and began to sing loudly.

"Sing! Shen Yan! Sing with me!"

"Yan! Let's dance!"

"Yan! Hold me and spin! Ah! Haha!"

Shen Yan was finally infected by her, went crazy and danced with her, completely ignoring the existence of the people around him, waltz, samba, cowboy, they kept changing, they danced and sang as they wanted, as if the only thing left in this world was The two of them, the earth turns for them...

Suddenly, their dance steps had an accompaniment. It turned out that they had infected many tourists. Artists with musical instruments consciously played various dance music for them. More tourists bought masks and joined them. The street presents a lively scene that can only be found in carnivals.

In the distant sky, the fireworks are in full bloom, and then fall again, like tears falling from the dark blue sky...

She threw herself into Shen Yan's arms, raised her head and laughed, "Shen Yan! Who said today isn't a carnival? Look, look, it's definitely it!"

Driven crazy by her, he also laughed. It's been a long, long time since he was so happy... He couldn't help but hug her waist tightly, stepping on the rhythm of the music, and twirled wildly with her again...

The sky is turning, the world is getting farther and farther away, she closes her eyes and listens to the direction of her heart, like a leaf in the wind, relying on his power, it flies and dances in the wind...

I really want to, just like this, dance until I grow old, dance until I die, like wearing enchanted red dancing shoes, and never stop dancing...

darling, you know what?With you, every day is a carnival...

Under the mask, tears finally slipped down...

"What's the matter? Are you tired from dancing?" He found that she was leaning on him weakly.

"Yes! I'm so happy! I really want to have a pair of magic red dancing shoes..." She leaned on his shoulder and said in a low voice.

He smiled softly, "Go back! Can you still go?"

"Well..." She shook her head.

He crouched down in front of her.

She hesitated for a moment and lay down on her face familiarly, wrapping her arms around his neck naturally, listening to him yell loudly, "Let's go! Go home!"

She was weak all over, and she only remembered that five years ago at night, he carried her on his back like this, running on the streets of Venice, shouting "Mi Chuqi, I love you" in Chinese, English, French and Italian while running. ——Mi Chuqi, I will spoil you for the rest of my life—”

Of course, she doesn't understand Italian...

Maybe she was too tired. This night, she slept very well. She didn't even know when she fell asleep. It seemed that she fell asleep when she was on Shen Yan's back...

Tonight, she had many dreams, all of which were Shen Yan's face, Shen Yan's smile, Shen Yan's scolding, the silhouette of Shen Yan carrying her back home, and vaguely heard him speaking in Chinese, English, and French. Shouting in Italian, "Mi Chuqi, I love you; Mi Chuqi, I will pamper you forever..."

It seems that she also dreamed of Shen Yan's embrace, which was warm and firm. She slept peacefully in Shen Yan's embrace without any fear. The feeling of safety was so real that she even felt Shen Yan's restless hand. As if the skin is moving around her body...

And his lips, the feeling of kissing her skin was so hot that she felt a familiar pleasure, she really wanted to wake up and grab this pleasure, but she was so tired...

When I woke up, I was amazed that I had such a shameful dream. While my face was flushed, I also lamented that it would be nice if the dream never woke up...

Wake up, no sorrow...

In the room, there was the sound of Shen Yan moving around while packing his luggage.Is it really over?So fast…

"I'm so tired!" She stretched herself and muttered under the quilt, thinking of this charming Venice, she was reluctant to say goodbye.

She heard Shen Yan's laughter, "Of course I'm tired! I danced like a madman all night!"

"Hmm...why aren't you tired?" She wondered, Shen Yan is really a strong man!
"If I'm tired too, who will carry you back?" He answered so calmly and naturally, as if it was a matter of course, "Seven, I still have a few days! Since you're here, let's have a good time, Where else do you want to go? Milan? To buy clothes?" he asked again.

Their honeymoon itinerary was like this, Venice, then Milan - the so-called fashion capital, a good place to spend money...

But, she doesn't need fashion...

"Go to Rome! I want to go to the Trevi Fountain."

She wanted to go to the legendary Trevi Fountain in Rome five years ago, but in the end she ran out of time and went home. This time, she must go.

"Okay!" For her request, Shen Yan always seemed to agree so simply, and then laughed and scolded, "Then why don't you get up? Lazy pig!"

She stretched her lotus-like arms out of the quilt. In the past, Shen Yan would have come over to change her clothes, but today, of course, he slipped into the bathroom in despair...

In the bathroom, she was still singing the song from last night, with her feet stepping to the beat of the dance steps...

Shen Yan sat on the sofa and listened, lit a cigar, took a puff, and smiled softly...

The Trevi Fountain in Rome is also known as the Pool of Happiness.Chu Qi thought, since it is called the Happiness Pool, could it be possible to realize one's wish by praying devoutly when tossing a coin?

When she stood by the wishing pool and said this, Shen Yan laughed at her, "Didn't you say last time that you don't believe in so-called wishing?"

"When?" She frowned.

"Just last time, when you were drunk!"

"You..." She glared and raised her fist, "Didn't I tell you to forget everything about the last time?"

Shen Yan raised his hands in surrender, "What happened last time?"

"That's about the same!" Chu Qi withdrew his fist and stretched out his palm, "Bring coins! Take as many as you have!"

I don't know if the more you throw, the better...

"What wish do you want to make?" Shen Yan gave her a handful of coins, and asked after her.

Chu Qi pushed him away, "Go away! Stay away from me, the farther the better! I can't let you hear it, and it won't work!"

Shen Yan smiled helplessly, walked away, and looked at her.

She prayed for a long time, with her back to the wishing pool, and she threw the coins into the pool one by one, thinking silently, "Who should I pray to? I don't know. But all the gods who can hear my prayer Bodhisattva Tathagata Buddha, God, God, Allah, please don't doubt my pious heart, I can use my life to pray, and hope that the person I love - Shen Yan, is happy and safe."

After reading, the coins in her hand were also tossed.

In the distance, Shen Yan was tall and straight, with slightly disheveled short hair. When he squinted his eyes and looked at her, he looked a little lazy in his handsomeness.He reached out and brushed the messy hair that fell to his forehead, and his movements were so elegant that people couldn't bear to look away.

She looked at him obsessively, how long could she look at him like this?Ten thousand years at a glance is just a myth...

He sensed that she was looking at him, smiled and beckoned her to go.

She stood there and said over and over again with her lips, "Shen Yan, goodbye, Shen Yan, goodbye, goodbye..."

He only saw her lips moving, pointing to his ears, and shaking her hands to show that she couldn't hear.

Her tears flowed down majesticly, and in the heartache, she still repeated those two words with his inaudible lips, "Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye..." Every time she said it, the pain was like a huge wave, ruthlessly Hit her heart once...

Honey, forgive me for not being able to say the word "goodbye", but this time, it's really goodbye...

Thank you for allowing me to be by your side for 20 years. I have never regretted it. You must be happy in the days without me...

After returning home from Italy, Shen Yan got the news from Xiao Anzi that Wu Qingqing from Fenggang had moved out.

He was unwilling to let go of the clues he had finally obtained, so he asked Xiao Anzi to go to Fenggang again.

The two of them went to Wu Qingqing's house first, but it was really empty and messy, only the decoration workers were doing the decoration, and they asked these workers, but they didn't know anything.

Shen Yan turned around and went to the next door to ring the doorbell. It was an old woman who opened the door. He nodded, "Hello..."

However, before he could say anything about his visit, the old lady was about to close the door.

In desperation, Shen Yan stretched out his hand to block it, but the door pinched his hand, and he let out a "hiss" in pain.

"Are you... all right?" The old lady thought she had hurt him, and was also a little worried.

"It's okay!" He shook his head, "Grandma, I don't mean anything else, I just want to know about Wu Qingqing!"

After speaking, he took out a wad of money from his wallet and stuffed it into her hand. Although he despised such behavior, sometimes it doesn't work to wear his mouth.

The old woman sighed helplessly, "Okay, seeing that you are still sincere, I will tell you what I know! It has not been long since the family moved next door, maybe just over a year! When they came to buy a house, It was bought by a man, a very handsome guy. I wonder why this handsome guy didn’t come to live in the house after he bought it? Instead, he only saw this woman coming in and out every day? At first I thought this woman was alone Because she has never seen anyone else in her house, and she doesn't let people come to her house to play. Later, after living for a long time, and gradually getting to know each other, she said that she and her husband lived in this house, and her husband was seriously ill. , it’s inconvenient to go out, so I’ve never met her husband, I don’t know anything else..."

"Thank you!" Shen Yan nodded, "Then do you know what the handsome guy who came to buy a house looks like?"

"This...if I see it, I can still recognize it, but I can't say what to say..." The old lady tried hard to think.

An idea flashed in Shen Yan's mind, luckily he brought the notebook with him! "Xiao Anzi, go get the notebook from the car!" He threw the car keys to Li Anbo.

Li Anbo didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly fetched it. Shen Yan turned on the computer, found a photo of Yu Shenhai, and asked, "Can you see if it's her?"

The old lady squinted her eyes and carefully identified it for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes...it should be him!"

"Okay! Thank you!" Shen Yan continued to turn the page and showed her Chu Qi's photo, "Have you seen this person?"

The old lady nodded, "Yes! This girl bought fruit last time to visit Qingqing."

Shen Yan closed the computer, nodded slightly, "Thank you very much, goodbye!"

What does this have to do with Yu Shenhai?With one more person getting involved, Shen Yan's mind was a little messed up...

There are more and more clues, but they seem to be getting more and more complicated.Chu Qi obviously came to see Wu Qingqing's seriously ill husband and gave him money, but what does she have to do with that man?Or was the seriously ill relative or friend of Yu Shenhai?Was the 200 million check issued by Chuqi also for the medical treatment of Wu Qingqing's husband?It seems that it is necessary to check Wu Qingqing's husband, and today he can only go back home temporarily.

Along the way, he drove the car very fast, just to be able to go home for dinner before dark, but when he finished seeing Li Amber home, the lights were already on at home, but the restaurant was completely dark. Could it be that they had finished eating? Don't wait for him?However, he was also to blame for coming back too late!
While thinking, he pushed open the door, expecting to see what he usually sees when he returns home. Mom and Dad are sitting on the sofa watching TV, and Chu Qi is squeezed between them, looking like a coquettish daughter. The warmth of home.However, he was greatly disappointed, there was no one in the living room...

"Dad! Mom! I'm back!" He tried to shout a few times, but there was no response.

"Seven! Seven! Are you home?" Only his own echo echoed him in the empty room, and he felt a sudden panic in his heart.

Hurrying into the bedroom, without that furry guy with the same name as him coming to please him, his heart suddenly sank...
