"Why haven't you arrived yet? I've been waiting here for more than an hour." Zhao Jing looked at the time on her watch and said with a hint of anger.
The waiter refilled her tea three times. After waiting for Lu Jingxu for so long, she saw the two waiters next to her whispering about something, and their eyes kept glancing over here.
"Right away, I'm almost at the door, you choose your wedding dress first."
"I've already chosen it. Wait a minute, I'll go in first. When you get here you can see me in my wedding dress."
"good."
After Zhao Jing finished speaking, she hung up the phone, stood up, and asked the clerk to take the clothes into the changing room.
The snow-white long skirt dragged on the ground, outlining her slender waist. Zhao Jing had done her hair and looked at herself in the full-length mirror, her eyes filled with unspeakable joy.
The sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground came from beside her. A man wearing a white suit was standing beside her. Zhao Jing threw herself into the man's arms and leaned her head against his chest.
"Now that you're here, do I look good today?"
The man seemed to hesitate for a moment, then said "hmm" lightly.
"Do you know how much I've been looking forward to this day, the day I walk in front of you wearing a wedding dress and holding a bouquet? It's been three years, and I still feel like I'm dreaming."
The man didn't say anything, as if he was listening quietly and waiting for her next words.
"Jing Xu, if possible, I really want to be with you like this, stay together for the rest of my life, and never be apart. I used to always want a lot, and I was very greedy..."
Zhao Jing's brows fell, as if she had thought of something. Her voice choked up a bit. "But after all this time, I've finally figured it out. None of this matters. I've been obsessed with it for so many years, leaving myself covered in scars, but nothing is as fulfilling as this moment."
"Jing Xu——"
She raised her head and was about to look at the man, but her eyes suddenly dropped as if trembling.
Sun Qingyan stared at her calmly with his eyelids drooping, a thin layer of shadow covering his eyes, as if he wanted to hear what she wanted to say next.
Zhao Jing was a little flustered. She subconsciously pushed away the person in front of her, but was unexpectedly pulled over by that person. He leaned over forcing her, bringing the two of them closer.
"Is this the reason why you asked me out today?"
He spoke each word, his face expressionless but his voice chillingly cold.
"You asked me out today just to let me witness your affectionate confession to Lu Jingxu, right?" He said this with a trembling voice.
"Zhao Jing, I've already told you that if you don't want to continue working here, you can just tell me. I'll give you whatever you want, and I'll also help you with the pressure from your family. The title of leading actress isn't that impressive. If Lu Jingxu dares to let you suffer, I'll kill him right away... But now, you're telling me you really like him..."
"...No, Qingyan, this is all a misunderstanding. Let me explain..."
"What are you trying to say? To complete the mission, right? Or do you want to say that it was Lu Jingxu who deliberately lured me here to listen to what you said today?"
Zhao Jing nodded quickly when she heard this: "Yes, it's him. I originally asked him to come over to try on wedding dresses, but he must have tampered with it and deliberately invited you over in my name... I said... I said why did he suddenly ask me to go to his house yesterday? He must have tampered with my phone while I was in the kitchen..."
"Qingyan, Qingyan, you must believe me. Lu Jingxu must have known something for doing this. Our plan finally succeeded, and we must not let it fail!"
She ran up and grabbed Sun Qingyan's arm, tears welling up in her eyes, like a kitten wagging its tail and begging for mercy.
"Then do you dare to say that everything you said to Lu Jingxu just now was false and not sincere at all?"
Zhao Jing spoke out of turn and should have refuted it immediately, but because of a moment's hesitation, she lost her credibility.
Sun Qingyan pinched her face, and the anger burning in his eyes seemed to have substance, burning Zhao Jing's cheeks with burning pain.
"Zhao Jing, ask yourself, up to now, do you want to be the heroine or Lu Jingxu's wife?"
After saying that, he loosened his grip, and Zhao Jing fell to the ground, her eyes out of focus.
Sun Qingyan didn't leave, but stood aside, waiting for her answer.
After a moment, she suddenly laughed at herself, looked at her disheveled self in the mirror, and suddenly felt that everything was not worth it.
"Heroine, wife, is there a big difference between the two..."
Sun Qingyan's tightly knitted brows relaxed: "What do you mean?"
"Do you know why I find Lu Jingxu's love so precious? Of course, it can't just be because he's the male protagonist, he's good-looking, and he comes from a good family... It's simply because, when he loves someone, his heart and eyes are filled with her. He knows how to respect and is willing to change for the person he loves. When I traveled into this novel, I first saw him in the corridor of a high school classroom..."
At that time, Lu Jingxu was a classmate in the next class. She was worrying about how to get into the top three in the class and get the task reward when the boy passed by her desk.
He walked in with the homework he had brought from the office and handed it to the class monitor to distribute, which naturally aroused a lot of discussion among the girls in the class.
Zhao Jing recognized him almost immediately as the male protagonist, the one that the girls in the class talked about every day.
She was sitting in the first row, and it was natural for him to walk in the path in front of her. Bewildered, she moved her desk forward a little, and the boy's clothes brushed against the corner of her desk, and a pen fell to the ground.
He paused, then leaned over to help her pick up the pen.
"Thanks."
He left without even finishing his words.
Then, a large group of girls gathered around her desk. Those who used to talk about her behind her back and envy her now seemed to have become her good friends.
It turns out that all it takes is a bow... He bowed his head for her, and so many people would envy him.
"I wanted to be the heroine, to be his wife. When I read the novel, these were just fantasies. But now, they're almost coming true... What went wrong?"
Sun Qingyan ran up angrily and grabbed her by the scruff of the neck. "Are you done? That's what you wanted to say to him, that's your explanation? What about me? I've done so much for you, and I might as well have a dog!"
She slowly raised her eyelids; the skin on her neck felt burning hot, and her eyeballs were bloodshot.
"Sun Qingyan, you're a fucking beast."
