Chapter 72 Chapter 72 The bride thought it was...
The bride thought it was a surprise planned by her husband, and the groom thought it was prepared by the best man Jin Man. He was so moved that he burst into tears and insisted on giving him two packs of cigarettes.
In the countryside, people pay the most attention to human relationships. Birth, old age, sickness, death, weddings and funerals are the biggest events for a family.
Today is such a significant wedding occasion, and my friends have supported me both financially and financially. I cannot thank them enough.
Jin Man didn't give Lu Yanlin a good look all the way. When the meal started, the newlyweds went from table to table to toast and thank their relatives.
As soon as the wine glass was handed over, Lu Yanlin stood up and politely drank the wine the bride offered him. He smiled slightly and said in a calm voice, "May you have a happy marriage for a hundred years."
In the face of happiness, no one can take away the glory of the newlyweds.
Lu Yanlin was moved at that moment, as if he weren't at an open-air banquet in a rural village. He blessed the newlyweds with a sincerity he had never experienced before, naturally integrating himself into the wedding.
He said something politely and softly to the bride. The bride was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
The emcee fired the salute, and with a bang, red paper fluttered all over the place.
Jin Man looked up and saw the bride smiling happily, reaching out to catch the falling red rain of flowers.
The paper flowers fluttered and fell into the full wine glass in front of Jin Man and into his thick black hair.
He looked up and met Lu Yanlin's eyes, who was looking down at him. He took a red rose from the bride's bouquet and pinned it on Jin Man's suit.
"Manman, you must be happy too."
When he lowered his head, the red paper flowers in his hair hit Xuan'er and fell onto the back of Jinman's hand.
Sometimes mood changes in an instant and there is no reason at all.
The high wall built in Jin Man's heart, like solid ice, withstood the bombardment of sweet words, but it was defeated by this light little paper flower, and a small crack appeared in the warm red.
He looked away, drank the wine in the glass without saying a word, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm going to wash my hands."
Jin Man walked through the villagers who were eating and came to a quieter place. He looked at the gray sky, lit a cigarette in an unskillful manner, and started smoking with a frown.
Is God playing a trick on him?
He is really just an ordinary person. Ordinary people may not encounter passionate love in their lifetime, but at least they will not be so painful. After his pain, pessimism and despair, he inadvertently felt moved by the same person.
If they really loved each other, how could they have come to this point?
Jin Man considers himself a mature and rational person who has gone through a lot of things, but he still can't figure out what was missing in him that made him unable to get love and a home.
Are there some people in this world who are just cheap people who only know how to cherish something after they lose it, and only regret it after they lose it?
Is life a TV drama? Is there so much unspeakable secrets?
Jin Man was more confused and depressed than ever before.
A little Omega came over from the other side of the field. It was Yueyue, whom I had met before but had lost contact with since then.
He was halfway through a call when his eyes met Jin Man's. He looked him up and down and snorted heavily.
Jin Man had a good impression of him, but since the other party had no interest in him, he would not pester him. He composed himself, nodded at him, and prepared to go back.
Yueyue stamped her feet and said, "Brother Xiaoman."
Jin Man turned around, and Yueyue kicked a small stone on the ground. Her eyes bulged as she looked around behind him: "Isn't your ex-husband... with you?"
This statement is incoherent and no one can understand it.
Jin Man had no intention of interrogating him. He nodded casually. After taking a few steps, Yue Yue caught up with him and stood in front of him, stammering: "I... I just want to say a few words, Brother Xiaoman, stay away from that ex-husband. He is not a good person."
Jin Man frowned: "Explain clearly."
Yueyue sighed, scratched her head, blushed, and stammered, "He, he gave my family a large sum of money to stop me from going on a blind date with you. My parents took the money and won't let me go to see you anymore."
Jin Man thought about it all night but couldn't figure out what Lu Yanlin was going to do.
"Is he sick?"
Zhou Yu drank some wine with him, and the two chatted idly.
He narrowed his eyes, picked up a few peanuts for Jin Man, and comforted him, echoing: "Yeah, who knows? He suddenly showed up yesterday, like he was intercepting a road. I thought he was filming a movie here."
Jin Man put down his wine glass heavily: "I get annoyed when I see him."
Zhou Yu coughed a few times, lazily holding the small bowl, took a sip, and for some reason, he laughed so hard that his whole body trembled. He lit a cigarette and took a slow puff: "Oh, then don't give him a good face."
Is this even necessary?
Lu Yanlin is now the demon, using all kinds of martial arts to confuse people. Jin Man is the poor scholar with only a few weapons and a righteous heart. When he encountered such a thing, he was only thinking about preserving his body and property, and ran away for his life. When he looked back, the thing didn't exist. All the strength and means hit him, and they all bounced back.
Jin Man drank more and more, and dozed off on the table. He didn't notice that Zhou Yu went out and came back, and there was an extra person in the room.
Yue Wei was cold, having just come in from outside. He took off his down jacket, glanced at the table, and said with a half-smile: "Oh, your face is as red as a peach from drinking. If you can't drink, then don't drink."
Jin Man touched his face, a little stunned: "Tao'er? Brother, am I growing hair?"
Zhou Yu said: "Yes, monkey hair."
Yue Wei was amused. He turned to Zhou Yu and asked, "It's not a festival, so why are you two drinking?"
Zhou Yu said: "How about we sing to each other?"
The three men hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they talked nonsense for a while. Zhou Yu was no match for Yue Wei, who came from the agency, and was the first to fall down. The remaining Jin Man didn't drink much, so at least he was sober, but his walking was not very stable.
Yue Wei looked at the two people, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and cursed himself: "I really deserve this."
He picked up Zhou Yu and threw him onto the sofa, then helped Jin Man home.
When the breeze blew on the road, the smell of alcohol came to Jin Man's head. He felt a little dazed and was thinking about going home.
Yue Wei patiently advised him: "It's almost there, it's not here yet."
Jin Man said: "Let's take a taxi."
Yue Wei was amused: "You get on the bus at the front door and get off at the back door. It's only a few steps away, why take a taxi?"
Jin Man sighed: "We've been walking for quite some time."
Yue Wei: "That must have exhausted you."
Jin Man nodded and thought for a moment: "No, I'll lie on the ground and you roll me over. That way it will be faster."
Yue Wei supported his forehead with his fingers, cursed a few times with a smile. He liked him very much in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about such a person. Just seeing him trying hard to open his eyes was cute enough.
He lifted the man up with force, and seeing his blushing cheeks, he felt something in his heart and bent down to kiss him.
Jin Man was so sleepy that his brain was still confused. He felt his cheeks were cold, so he reached out to rub them and his palm touched Yue Wei's face.
"What stung me?"
Yue Wei smiled, feeling both sweet and sour in his heart, but in the end he didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a heart-pounding chill. Being extremely sensitive to sight, he raised his eyes quickly and saw a tall man with an upright figure outside the yard.
"Lu Yanlin?"
The man had an indifferent expression and cold eyes. God had been especially kind to him. Not only did he have a distinguished family background, but he also had excellent looks.
That cold face...
Just one look at it is overwhelming.
He took off his gloves and took the drunk and asleep Jin Man from Yue Wei's hands, as if it was natural and in an overwhelming manner.
Just as Yue Wei was about to step forward to stop him, Lu Yanlin's gaze swept over him.
At that moment, the air seemed to be frozen.
His eyes weren't fierce, they were even calm, but they were as cold as a thin layer of ice, biting to the bone. Something sharp, almost violent, lurked deep within his pupils, as if if Yue Wei dared to move one more step, that calm facade would instantly rip, revealing a chilling undercurrent.
Yue Wei's breathing subconsciously stopped.
It wasn't a warning—it was outright contempt.
This is the Lu Yanlin in Yue Wei’s memory.
The man who rarely gets angry but can make people's bones chill.
"When I first warned you, I would not have done anything, and you would still have a respectable career with a promising future and several close friends.
Your mother will call you on Fridays and ask when you're going to bring your boyfriend home.
Your bank account is clean, your resume is impressive, and your social media posts are filled with positive, sunny, and upbeat photos of your life."
"But if you must receive a second warning," Lu Yanlin smiled faintly, his eyes as cold as the moon in the mountains, without a trace of warmth: "You can prepare to completely get out of this circle."
Yue Wei felt a deep chill. He knew very well that Lu Yanlin was not pretending to be profound, but could really do it.
Lu Yanlin didn't care about the cold gaze behind him. His heart was being washed by a storm. He pinched Alpha's neck with some hatred, and his fingers trembled with anger.
Since I can't get his forgiveness no matter what, I might as well just prepare for the worst and watch him fall in love with someone else.
Why did he have to kneel at someone else's feet and beg for mercy? He has never been that kind of person.
"Lu Yanlin?"
The sleepy Alpha smelled the familiar pheromone and opened his eyes a little with difficulty.
"You bastard."
The curse was spoken lightly and without much force.
Lu Yanlin's heart was strangely soothed. He hugged Alpha tightly, bit his face as if to vent his anger, and then kissed him restlessly from cheek to lips, kissing his helpless breathing and slight groaning. He vented his anger and hostility unscrupulously.
"Full, full."
The winter rain is cold and long.
After that day, Jin Man was angry for a long time. The teeth marks on his face were too obvious, and the perpetrator had the audacity to send him a message asking if he had applied it, saying that he had left him some ointment to reduce swelling.
Jin Man rolled over and sat up, throwing the medicine out of the window in anger, and roared: "Get out, don't come in."
The driver held an umbrella and stood outside the yard with Mr. Lu.
The rain in late winter is so cold that the chill seeps into the bones bit by bit, making people feel cold all over in a short while.
All the roses in the small yard have withered. In the tinkling glass wind chimes, the dried flowers are covered with dew. They sway in the wind, shaking the hearts of the two people.
