Chapter 22 Small Theater 1-Partition Room
The bachelor party that night ultimately failed to remain "single" and turned into a big party for everyone.
On the terrace, Fan Shengmei leaned gently in Meng Yanchen's arms, watching her friends laughing and playing downstairs.
"Thank you,"
She whispered, "All this for me."
She looked up and asked curiously, "When did you start planning this?"
Meng Yanchen took her hand, rubbed the brand new ring with his fingertips, looked into the distance, and fell into memories.
"That time when I accompanied you back to 2202 to get something."
He spoke slowly, "Your roommates were not at home that day. It was the first and only time I accompanied you into 2202."
His arms tightened slightly, and his tone was tinged with an imperceptible hint of tenderness.
"It was a partitioned room so narrow it could only fit a mattress and didn't even have a window. You were looking for something inside, and I stood at the door, stunned for a long time."
Following his words, Fan Shengmei seemed to be back to that afternoon.
That small space, with its thin walls and stuffy air, had all her belongings crammed into a corner. It was proof of her past struggles to survive, carrying all the embarrassment, uneasiness, and heavy burdens she had felt when she first arrived in this city.
"Through that small room, I suddenly seemed to see clearly how you walked through all those years alone, step by step."
He paused, calming down. "At that moment, I felt very sad, even...blaming myself. I regretted wasting so much time, why I didn't show up earlier, and why I let you endure so much alone."
"At that time, I thought, I must do my best to erase all your sad past and give you a completely different new life, so that when you look back on the past, you will no longer only feel pain and hardship."
Fan Shengmei remembered why Meng Yanchen had been so downhearted after leaving 2202. He remained silent all the way home until they parked in the basement, not unbuckled. He suddenly turned from the driver's seat and hugged her tightly and for a long time.
He buried his face in her neck and stayed there motionless for a long time without saying a word.
At that time, she thought that he had encountered some troubles at work, so she just quietly hugged him back and patted his back gently to comfort him.
It turned out that his strange silence and the hug that lasted for several minutes were a heartache so overwhelming that it was beyond words.
"It's all over,"
Fan Shengmei turned around, raised her hand and gently stroked his cheek, her eyes warm and relieved.
"And I really like 2202, where I met Andy, Little Earthworm, Guan Guan, and Xiao Qu,"
She listed them with a smile, turned around and kissed him,
"Of course, I met you."
Meng Yanchen closed his arms, hugged her deeper into his embrace, and whispered in her ear,
"I'm sorry I'm late."
Fan Shengmei shook her head, her eyes bright and determined.
"I believe everything is the best arrangement."
She suddenly remembered what happened in the morning and asked,
"By the way, where did those wontons come from?"
Meng Yanchen chuckled and kissed the tip of her nose.
"secret!"
"Hey, Yanchen! We agreed on a bachelor party! Stop hugging your wife! Come down quickly! The brothers can't take it anymore! Andy is so awesome!"
Seeing that the card game downstairs seemed to have come to a temporary end, Andy drank water calmly, while Bao Yifan was massaging her shoulders with his tail raised to the sky.
"See?! This is strength!"
At the same time, he did not forget to show off to Pei Yuchen and Xiao Yixiao who were in disarray.
"Come on! Don't you love me paying the bill? Let's see who dares to let me pay the bill in the future!"
Fan Shengmei looked at the lively scene, smiled and pushed Meng Yanchen,
"Let's go down and take a look."
A new group of people had already sat down at the table. Zhao Ziqian sat down and left a seat for Meng Yanchen.
At this time, Zhou Xun came back with Jiang Xiaoguo and the game paused for a while.
Before Zhou Xun could speak, Xiao Yixiao went over and pulled Zhou Xun to join the battle.
"Come on, come on, keep going, three of you bullies, Andy, don't accuse us of bullying you."
Bao Yifan quickly clung to him like a dog.
"Master~ It's them, the three of them are the worst. One always makes me pay, one always wins my money, and the other..."
He pointed at Zhou Xun and thought for a moment, "This... is in cahoots with each other."
Andy looked at the table, raised his eyes slightly and smiled, domineeringly controlling the situation.
"Then, let's come together!"
