Chapter 10: The Tenth Day of Restraint, Dan Yin, Our Future, Begins...
It was Pei Yunmiao who told Shan Yin that Pei Yunhe went to Wei Lan.
When trying on the wedding dress in the afternoon, Pei Yunmiao praised Shan Yin a lot, saying that Pei Yunhe was really unlucky not to see Shan Yin in the wedding dress at first sight, which made her get a bargain.
Shan Yin thought of Pei Yunhe's hurried departure and smiled softly, giving him enough respect: "It's okay."
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, my brother is just embarrassed! It's okay, I took a picture and sent it to him so he can be tempted!"
Pei Yunmiao asked Shan Yin to stand by the glass window. The horizontal wooden window sill matched her lace-patterned fishtail wedding dress very well, giving it a retro and elegant beauty.
But Dan Yin was not in a good mood and said awkwardly that it was not necessary.
Fortunately, the tailor also wanted to take pictures for record before making the final adjustments, so Dan Yin asked him to strike a few poses. Pei Yunmiao secretly held up his phone and took a few pictures.
After chatting with Pei Yunhe for a few sentences, she casually browsed her circle of friends and saw that someone in the circle had posted a photo of singing and drinking in Wei Lan. She clicked on it and saw that the person sitting in the corner was Pei Yunhe.
So at dinner time, Xi Minxia asked her to ask Pei Yunhe if he would come back for dinner. Pei Yunmiao said without thinking, "Brother is in Weilan. He should have dinner with his friends."
Xi Minxia was unhappy: "The wedding is tomorrow, what are you still doing outside now?"
Pei Yunmiao sat down at the dining table and said casually, "Maybe his friends are throwing him a bachelor party. Brother Meng Chuan loves a lively atmosphere."
Zhou Yan's eyebrows twitched, and he keenly realized that what Pei Yunmiao said was inappropriate. He reached out and added a chopstick of food to her and told her to stop talking.
On the other side of the dining table, Shan Yin lowered her head slightly, the light in her eyes was dim and unclear, and the spring scenery was hidden in them. She said nothing.
She had been in Nanqiao for almost a week and had heard a little about the famous Gongguan Bar in Nanqiao.
Pei Yunhe pretended to go to the company to work, but actually went there again...
She heard that many children of powerful families liked to hold a bachelor party before getting married to celebrate their last days of being single, especially those who were married by family order.
Regardless of how wildly they played and how drunk they drank at the party, one thing is certain: they were probably not satisfied with their marriage, or were not looking forward to it.
Is it the same for Pei Yunhe?
She originally thought that Pei Yunhe was not like this, and that their marriage could at least cultivate a little bit of affection.
but……
Dan Yin frowned, and a thin mist covered the mountains and rivers, stretching far and wide, exuding a lot of melancholy.
The melancholy grew stronger and stronger until late at night. Shan Yin lay in Pei Yunhe's room, on the bed where she had shared a bed yesterday, tossing and turning, still feeling the melancholy lingering around her.
She couldn't sleep. The air was filled with Pei Yunhe's usual sandalwood scent. She pulled the quilt to cover her mouth and nose, but found that the smell on the quilt was even stronger.
So she stood up again, put on a shawl and stood in front of the window.
The moon was bright in the sky and the stars were endless. It was such a beautiful night view, but she had no heart to appreciate it.
His already thin figure looked even more frail against the backdrop of the cool night.
She stood like this for a long time, and finally told herself:
Shan Yin, you are here to arrange a marriage for the Su family and for your grandfather. If you have no other choice, don't be too demanding.
Sometimes, if you don’t have hope for something from the beginning, you may not be disappointed.
The moonlight sprinkled on the windowsill. Dan Yin's slender fingertips moved over, curled up, but couldn't catch it.
After standing for a moment longer, she let out a long sigh and turned back to the bed.
Even though she didn't have to get up early the next day to prepare for the wedding, she couldn't stay in bed.
She gathered her thoughts and forced herself to rest. As she jumped over another pillow on the bed to turn off the night light, she paused.
Finally, she picked up the phone and fulfilled her duties as a wife in a marriage alliance.
She sent a message to Pei Yunhe, wanting to ask him in the afternoon whether he would come back tonight.
A few seconds later, the phone rang softly and Pei Yunhe's reply popped up.
[Pei Yunhe]: No reply.
Meng Chuan was really annoying. Not only did he have a pair of peach blossom eyes that seduced people everywhere, but he also always liked to get close to him.
After the song was finished, Meng Chuan, still unsatisfied, squeezed between Pei Yunhe and Lan Cen, hooked his arm around Pei Yunhe's neck, and inadvertently glanced at Pei Yunhe's mobile phone screen.
"Oh, it's time to check in already!"
Pei Yunhe frowned, and reflexively pretended to be reserved as he typed two words and clicked send, then turned off the phone screen and turned it over.
He must change the privacy screen protector next time.
Lan Cen slapped Meng Chuan on the back of the head.
"Where are you looking at?"
Meng Chuan immediately turned around, his eyes full of charm: "Look towards our Cen Cen."
Lan Cen rolled his eyes again, got up and went somewhere else.
Meng Chuan opened his mouth to chase after her: "Don't go, Cen Cen! Shall we sing the next song together? I'm going to sing it for you!"
Pei Yunhe just felt it was noisy.
He stretched out his hand, pinched his eyebrows and closed his eyes. The two words that just crossed his mind were stuck in his heart. If he didn't want to reply, then he didn't have to. There was no need to feel wrong about it. But in the darkness before his eyes, the image of Dan Yin with slightly frowned eyebrows and a sad look on his face kept appearing.
Those eyes and brows should be filled with the message of spring reflected in the lake and the disappearance of snow marks, leaving the jade flawless.
It shouldn't be filled with so much sorrow.
Thinking of this, Pei Yunhe suddenly stood up, startling Meng Chuan who was still chasing Lan Cen.
But he didn't care about that anymore, picked up his coat on the sofa and walked out.
The journey from Weilan to Songlingju at night took only forty minutes, but Pei Yunhe felt it was unusually long. Feeling a little irritated, he drove at the speed limit through the night. Only when he returned to Songlingju under the moonlight and gently pushed open the door did he finally feel a sense of closure.
The room was filled with the familiar scent of sandalwood, and with his keen sense of smell, he could also detect a few hints of herbal aromas.
Shan Yin was used to using plants and herbs as incense, and after only two nights, the scent had already invaded his territory without him noticing.
But he enjoyed it.
Pei Yunhe slowed down his pace, but still took faster steps and walked to the head of the bed in a few steps.
Shan Yin had fallen asleep, but he didn't seem to be sleeping soundly. There was a slight wrinkle between his eyebrows, which also made Pei Yunhe's heart wrinkled.
He stubbornly didn't want to see her frown, so he suddenly reached out his hand and carefully stroked her eyebrows with his fingertips, not daring to get too close or too hard, for fear of waking her up.
After stroking it again and again so carefully, the wrinkles were finally smoothed out.
Fortunately, I didn't disturb her. Maybe this way she can have a good dream.
Pei Yunhe curled the corners of his lips, then stood up with satisfaction to wash up.
The east was already bright and the morning light was just beginning to appear. The dawn light lit up from the horizon, penetrated the window screen and fell on Dan Yin's face.
She suddenly woke up and stared at the ceiling for a long time before she remembered that today was her wedding day.
What time is it?
She thought she couldn't sleep.
He raised his hand to touch the phone beside the pillow, but accidentally touched a broad shoulder. Dan Yin was startled and shrank back to the bed, but was suddenly brought back by a big hand around his waist.
The warm palm only touched for a moment and then withdrew. Pei Yunhe seemed to have not yet recovered from his sleepiness. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, his voice low and deep.
"Be careful."
Shan Yin was so shocked that he was stunned for a long time and didn't know what to say for a long time.
Pei Yunhe finally got rid of his tiredness, raised his eyelids and glanced at her sideways.
"The alarm hasn't rung yet, so you can still sleep a little longer."
no.
Shan Yin was stunned.
She asked blankly: "Didn't you say you wouldn't reply?"
Pei Yunhe put his arms across his eyes again and answered the question lazily: "We're done talking about this. If I don't come back, where else will I go?"
"Dan Yin, don't even think about occupying my room and bed alone."
“…”
She had no intention of monopolizing him. She obediently followed his example and lay back down, clutching the corner of the quilt, lost in thought as she took in the clean sandalwood and citrus scent in the air.
It turned out that there was no so-called bachelor party, it turned out that there was no extravagance, it turned out that he came back early and was by her side.
In just a few hours, the sorrow that lingered in her heart before going to bed disappeared completely. She didn't know whether it was due to the good sleep or the light brought by the dawn outside the window.
Everything was silent, with only the sounds of their breathing rising and falling in the room. She controlled the rhythm of her heartbeat, and from her breathing, she seemed to hear Pei Yunhe also controlling himself.
She didn't know what kind of mood she should have to face this day or the future, but no matter what, the morning light had slowly lifted the veil of night, and a new day had arrived.
/
Thanks to the Pei family's careful planning, the wedding was arranged in an orderly manner even though the wedding date was short.
Shan Yin and Pei Yunhe didn't stay in bed for long. After getting up, they were taken to different rooms. After putting on makeup and changing into dresses, they were escorted to the manor where the wedding ceremony was held.
Everything went according to plan. There was still some time before the ceremony began. The people from the Pei family, led by Pei Kelang, went around greeting the guests. Shan Yin and Pei Yunhe had nothing else to do. They just had to stand in front of the main venue of the ceremony as human standees, smiling.
Pei Yunhe didn't care. He was a well-known elegant and noble young man in the upper circle of Nanqiao. It was his usual job to stand there with a smile on his face as a human standee.
What a coincidence, Dan Yin is also one of them.
Her smile was even more dignified and gentle than his.
All the guests passing by praised the match.
The implicit meaning was probably that they were laughing at them for being like a pair of fake people, who were, after all, just a superficial couple arranged through an arranged marriage.
Pei Yunhe was a little annoyed and sulking. He glanced at Shan Yin several times out of the corner of his eyes. After he finally got used to her charming look and was able to suppress the slight throbbing in his heart and the blushing on his face, he turned around and spoke to Shan Yin.
But when the impulsive words came to his lips, he changed his tone: "Do you want to sit over there?"
He remembered that the heels of the wedding shoes were not low. He stood there for a long time and felt tired just thinking about it.
Shan Yin shook his head gently, "It's not appropriate."
Her eyes fell on the guests everywhere, and when they saw her, they would smile back at her and say congratulations.
But no matter how polite they are, Pei Yunhe is not a person who is falsely polite.
He glanced at Shan Yin again and walked towards the seat beside him. Shan Yin's eyes widened slightly, but it was not easy to separate from him, so he followed him in small steps.
Seeing him sit down, Shan Yin hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down by holding up the hem of her fishtail skirt.
In an instant, her heels were freed, and the feeling of relaxation and comfort spread throughout her body with the blood circulation. She breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to smile at Pei Yunhe.
However, the moment she turned her head, Pei Yunhe shifted his gaze away and fixed it somewhere casually.
Dan Yin's smile froze on her lips, and she had no choice but to follow Pei Yunhe's gaze and look outside. There was a piano on the lawn, and a performer had just finished playing a song.
She wondered whether she should say something to break the awkwardness, so she asked, "You can play the piano, too, right?"
Bar?
Pei Yunhe frowned and raised the corners of his eyes.
When he was in Nanqiao No. 1 Middle School, he performed in many major evening parties, but it seems that she never paid any attention to him.
Shan Yin keenly noticed that Pei Yunhe's expression had changed slightly. She didn't know how she had offended this young master again. Just as she was about to purse her lips and keep silent, she heard him suddenly ask, "What do you want to hear?"
But before she could answer, Pei Yunhe had already stood up from his seat, walked to the piano in two or three steps and sat down.
The melodious music floated out, accompanied by bursts of low and magnetic voices. Pei Yunhe was dressed in a silver-white suit, with an outstanding temperament, elegant and unrestrained.
He sat in front of the piano with his eyes lowered, his bony and slender fingers dancing gracefully on the black and white keys. He was truly as noble as a white crane.
The scene was obviously the same everywhere, but it was as if a soft beam of light was hanging down from him, and everyone's attention was attracted to him in an instant.
At this moment, it seemed as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him, and everything in the world was holding its breath for him.
“I found a love for me,
Darling just dive right in and follow my lead.”
Dan Yin paused for a moment before he could hear his singing.
It turns out that he not only can play the piano, but also sings so beautifully.
But he continued to play and sing by himself, ignoring any of the people around him.
“Cause we were just kids when we fell in love,
Not knowing what it was I will not give you up this time.”
He was clearly just playing and singing casually, but he was more serious than in every performance, as if he had mixed all his emotions into the singing and music.
But the song crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, crossed time and space, and reached her heart.
"Darling just hold my hand be my girl I'll be your man,
I see my future in your eyes.”
He suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze burning, and looked at her across the guests and the rolling crowd.
Shan Yin met his gaze, and his eyes were fixed on her without blinking. His eyes were sparkling, and a whirlpool swirled in the light-colored lake, as if he wanted to draw her in completely and hide her in his heart.
It made her feel that among all the people in the world, he had chosen only her.
Her heart trembled for no reason, and a familiar feeling came over her, but before she could catch it, she was burned by the heat in his eyes.
At this moment, Pei Yunhe was more serious than usual. Shan Yin could hear his own heartbeat, which seemed to drown out everything else.
She suddenly felt that such a serious Pei Yunhe seemed quite good, and marrying such a serious Pei Yunhe seemed quite good too.
And thankfully, even though her heart was beating louder, she didn't miss the last line he sang.
"And she looks perfect I don't deserve this,
You look perfect tonight.”
The applause was like a tide, and Pei Yunhe was walking towards her in the rolling tide.
He bowed to her and held out his hand:
"Dan Yin, our future has begun."
