he?

Everyone turned around at the same time, and tacitly took a few steps back.

Tang Li's mind went blank. Huo Chenyu pulled her into his arms and moved aside.

Only Yunxi remained, standing there blankly.

Even knowing he would come, when the person she had longed for for so many years finally arrived in his true identity, she still couldn't do what she had imagined: calmly reach out and straighten his collar as he stood before her, and say:

"You're back."

Just pretend he's gone on a long trip.

Yunxi had imagined this scene countless times in her mind, but in the end she still couldn't stop her tears from flowing.

The two stared at each other for a long time. Yunxi looked at him with heartache, his face unrecognizable, and cried uncontrollably.

Zha Zhongqi seemed flustered, raising his hand helplessly, and finally awkwardly managed to squeeze out a sentence:

"Nurse, my story isn't over yet. Would you like to hear more?"

Yunxi felt both amused and touched. She took the tissue Gu Ming handed her and used it to wipe her bridal makeup.

Gu Ming was even more amusing. When he stepped forward to hand over the tissues, he was limping on one leg and, with a strong desire to survive, explained:

"Uncle, please don't misunderstand, I'm just a junior."

His mother and Yunxi were very close friends, and as her nephew, it was only natural for him to take on the responsibility of helping his aunt to give her future uncle a good jolt.

That's how the whole thing happened.

Zha Zhongqi had no time to spare for him; his eyes were only on Yunxi.

Yunxi wiped away her tears and nodded:

"You speak, I listen."

Zha Zhongqi finally dared to step forward and grasp Yunxi's hand:

"The story is a long one, it would take a lifetime to tell. Are you sure you want to hear it?"

Yunxi gently raised her hand and punched him in the chest:

"Keep it to yourself, who cares about your old, trivial matters?"

Zha Zhongqi quickly replied:

"Then I'll tell you some fresh stories in the future, but I'll need your cooperation, mistress."

They're still playing this game.

Yunxi turned around and glanced at Tang Li, then muttered:

"Tell me honestly, did Tang Li teach you this move?"

Tang Li hurriedly waved his hand:

"It has nothing to do with me."

Yunxi grabbed Zha Zhongqi's clothes and said to Tang Li:

"You still say it has nothing to do with you? Weren't the clothes he was wearing taken from me by you?"

It turns out she knew everything.

Tang Li finally realized what was happening:

"So you bought these clothes for Seventh Brother, but you just used me to give them away."

In other words, she knew a long time ago that Zha Zhongqi was still alive.

The sun was blazing outside, which ruined the atmosphere, but Piqiu still pointed to Zha Zhongqi's injuries and said:

"How about we go inside and talk more slowly?"

Gu Ming scratched his head and asked:

"Auntie, should the wedding still go ahead?"

Of course we should continue.

Yunxi looked at Zha Zhongqi with deep affection:

"Although this isn't Jincheng, you promised me you'd give me a romantic open-air wedding by the river. I've prepared everything. Are you ready to marry me?"

Where can you find such a perfect wife?

She earns money to support her family and is also incredibly beautiful.

They even prepared everything perfectly.

Tang Li suddenly realized:

"So, the oversized suit that Gu Ming wore was prepared for Seventh Brother?"

Huo Chenyu tapped her little head:

"You're only just finding out?"

Tang Li rubbed it:

"I was truly wise all my life, but I made a foolish mistake this time."

Seeing Yunxi and Zha Zhongqi go to the dressing room, Tang Li wanted to follow, but Huo Chenyu grabbed her arm.

"Before the wedding starts, shouldn't you honestly tell me the whole story?"

Tang Li stuck out her tongue and changed the subject:

Do you know what Seventh Brother calls you?

Huo Chenyu fell for the trap and forgot all about confronting him.

In the dressing room.

Yunxi personally dressed Zha Zhongqi and, seeing the shocking wounds all over his body, covered her face and wept bitterly.

Zha Zhongqi gently held her in his arms:

“Actually, every time I think of you, this pain becomes a gift, reminding me that with each transformation I undergo, I get a little closer to you.”

Yunxi's hands were trembling, and she choked up:

"You should have come back to me sooner."

Zha Zhongqi frankly admitted:

"I used to always think about coming back to see you in the best possible light, until Tang Li told me that love is fearless, and then I realized how wrong I had been."

"I'm so glad you're back."

Yunxi is very content.

"Thank goodness you're still here."

Zha Zhongqi's life included both death and resurrection, as well as loss and regain.

To put it simply, he was part of every kind of tragedy.

He's lucky, because he has everything that's comedic.

Yunxi cried out:

"Knowing I was still here, why are you so late? I thought you weren't coming today."

She had originally thought she would be able to wait for him last night.

She sat by the river all night.

Until dawn.

He never showed up.

Zha Zhongqi apologized to her:

“It’s my fault. I’m cowardly and weak. I’m afraid you’ll really marry someone else. I’m afraid I don’t have the courage to face all of this.”

Yunxi pouted:

"Then why have you come again?"

Zha Zhongqi took out his phone and handed it to her:

"I saw the stars you left on your Weibo, and only then did I dare to believe that you were still waiting for me."

Yang Yuying's "Let Me Gently Tell You" was the first pop song Yunxi learned. When she was with Zha Zhongqi, the young couple inevitably had conflicts and broke up. Yunxi told him that if they were ever separated, if she stayed in the same place to wait, she would put a star where he could see it.
