Chapter 57
Xu Zheng and Han Ziyan are getting married soon, and today they are here to choose the wedding bouquet.
When he saw the familiar black heavy motorcycle, Xu Zheng's calm eyes were disturbed, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he stared at the Harley motorcycle that was coming.
Han Ziyan saw Xu Zheng standing still and followed his gaze.
A black motorcycle drove over and stopped less than a meter away from Xu Zheng and Han Ziyan.
Qin Shiyao began to gasp again, and said excitedly: "Is it coming? The Shura Field is finally coming!"
Shen Tingzhou was about to say something but stopped himself. Ji Yan and the others had just been released from prison, so they should not expect a fight. What if they end up being sent back to jail?
Jiang Chi propped himself up on one leg and opened the visor of his helmet. The neon signs on the street reflected his handsome and rough profile.
Jiang Chi glanced at Han Ziyan, then took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, shook out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it.
He sneered, tapped Ji Yan's mask, and said provocatively, "I thought she was some kind of celestial being, but she doesn't look that good."
Xu Zheng's eyes turned cold, and he was about to step forward with his fists clenched.
Han Ziyan held his hand and whispered to comfort him, "It's okay, he may not be talking about me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yan took off his mask, revealing a delicate but indifferent face.
"Stop talking nonsense." Ji Yan said coldly to Jiang Chi, "I haven't eaten yet."
Jiang Chi took the half-smoked cigarette and put it into Ji Yan's mouth.
Ji Yan seemed to be used to it and showed no disgust. He held the cigarette between his legs and smoked it skillfully.
Jiang Chi smiled and pinched his face, then put the mask back on and rolled down the handlebars.
The motorcycle brushed past Xu Zheng's luxury car.
Ji Yan was smoking in the back seat, and he didn't even look at Xu Zheng when he passed by. The smoke lingered on Ji Yan's cold face, and his calm and indifferent look had an inexplicable attraction.
Xu Zheng followed the lead and subconsciously took half a step forward.
Han Ziyan coughed softly, and Xu Zheng suddenly came back to his senses, took off his scarf and covered him with it, "Are you okay?"
Han Ziyan shook his head and asked in a hoarse voice, "Was that person Ji Yan?"
Xu Zheng pursed his lips and said nothing.
Their conversation was not loud. Qin Shiyao dragged Shen Tingzhou along and moved in a serpentine manner, eavesdropping around the corner.
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Han Ziyan said softly, "I heard that he was released from prison. My family seemed to be a little angry. I persuaded them that Ji Yan had been punished and there was no need to vent their anger on him. And I saw that he had a new life. I hope he can live well."
Shen Tingzhou followed Qin Shiyao to the best eavesdropping position and just happened to hear what Han Ziyan said.
He couldn't help but say, "This person is quite kind."
Qin Shiyao cast a dark gaze at him, and said angrily: "You really can't tell green tea apart at all. No wonder you were eaten to death by green tea."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Qin Shiyao explained, "In the first half, he was trying to clear himself of the relationship, and in the second half, he was trying to anger Xu Zheng."
Shen Tingzhou: Ah?
Xu Zheng's face turned sullen as he said, "Is his five years in prison worth one of your legs? He still wants to start a new life. He doesn't deserve it!"
Qin Shiyao continued to translate for Shen Tingzhou, "This jerk is jealous."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
He felt that he and Qin Shiyao were not receiving the same signal. To him, Xu Zheng was targeting Ji Yan. How could that be considered jealousy?
Han Ziyan advised, "Don't say that. Five years is not a short time. Now you have gone from being a young master to having nothing. Life must be very difficult."
Qin Shiyao clicked her tongue and said, "You're starting to stir up trouble."
Why do I feel like Han Ziyan is telling the truth?
Shen Tingzhou asked quietly, "Which one is adding fuel to the fire?"
Qin Shiyao did not answer, but pointed at Xu Zheng and let Shen Tingzhou listen to it himself.
Xu Zheng sneered, "Do you think he has a hard time? He hangs out with all kinds of men. I think he's very satisfied."
Now Shen Tingzhou could tell that Xu Zheng was jealous, but if Qin Shiyao hadn't reminded him, he still wouldn't have thought that Han Ziyan was fanning the flames. He just felt that Xu Zheng was somewhat...
Han Ziyan looked at Xu Zheng and smiled sadly, "You still like him, don't you?"
Xu Zheng subconsciously retorted, "How is that possible!"
Han Ziyan: "You don't have to blame yourself for my leg. It has nothing to do with you. I know you very well, so I never thought that there was a problem with your communication with Ji Yan, which made Ji Yan hate me."
"In fact, I can understand Ji Yan. Something happened in his family at that time, so it is inevitable that his personality will be extreme. Ah Zheng, if you still like him, forget about our marriage. I am willing to bless you and Ji Yan, as long as you can be happy."
Qin Shiyao commented sharply, "Every word has nothing to do with you, but every word has to do with you. This is high-end green tea."
This is green tea.
If Han Ziyan is a green tea, then Xu Xun has nothing to do with tea. Xiao Xu would never be like that!
Xu Zheng lowered his head and covered Han Ziyan with a blanket. "Don't let your imagination run wild. I don't have any feelings for him."
Qin Shiyao said disdainfully, "If you have the guts, look Han Ziyan in the eye and say it again."
Han Ziyan went to shake Xu Zheng's hand, but he had already pulled it back, pushing his wheelchair and saying, "Let's go in and choose flowers."
Han Ziyan was silent for a second, then said, "Okay."
Looking at the two people who entered the flower shop, Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but ask, "Do you think Han Ziyan knows that Xu Zheng still has feelings for Ji Yan?"
Qin Shiyao raised her eyebrows, "Of course!"
Shen Tingzhou didn't understand, "Then why do you want to get married?"
This touched upon the area governed by Qin Shiyao. Teacher Qin said, "If I were to explain it in detail, it would take three days and three nights to finish."
Is it that complicated?
Shen Tingzhou glanced at the time and said, "Forget it then."
Qin Shiyao confidently tossed her hair and said proudly, "Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you."
Shen Tingzhou: ...I mean forget it.
Shen Tingzhou drove Qin Shiyao back, and she talked to him all the way.
To put it in a complicated way, it would take three days and three nights to explain it all, but to put it simply, it is the unwillingness that is causing trouble.
This is the same reason why a scumbag goes back to chase his wife. Being attracted to her is just one aspect of the relationship. The deeper meaning is his unwillingness to give up.
The person who kept chasing after me unwillingly suddenly lost sight of me.
When Han Ziyan and Xu Zheng were together, Han Ziyan was in the emotional position and Xu Zheng was the bootlicker.
The one in the higher emotional position will not care about the thoughts of the one in the lower emotional position, so before Han Ziyan makes any decision, Xu Zheng is always the secondary option.
Similarly, Ji Yan also has a low emotional position in Xu Zheng's heart.
So Xu Zhenghui let Ji Yan go just because of a phone call from Han Ziyan, even though that day was Ji Yan's birthday.
But one day they will look back and find that the person who has always loved and liked them has developed a deeper bond with someone else than they do, and they will feel unwilling.
The desire to win makes Han Ziyan take Xu Zheng back at any cost, and the desire to win also makes Xu Zheng speak ill of Ji Yan.
Because they can't accept that they have lost, and they can't accept that the other person doesn't love them.
Shen Tingzhou could only say that he had learned a lot from Teacher Qin.
-
When Shen Tingzhou got home, it was almost eleven o'clock.
Xu Xun and his three cats were waiting for him in the living room. The orange cat and the tabby cat were sleeping on Xu Xun's legs, and the pampered little Silver was lying in Xu Xun's arms.
There was only one orange lamp on in the living room, and the dim light gave the entire living room the texture of an oil painting.
Shen Tingzhou came in and saw this scene, and was deeply moved. "Are you waiting for me?"
Xu Xun looked over, the orange light made his pupils warm, and his voice became sticky, "I always feel uneasy if you don't come back."
Shen Tingzhou suddenly felt a little guilty, "I'll come back earlier next time."
Xu Xun held Xiao Yin Jianceng to Shen Tingzhou and whispered, "It's my own problem that I can't sleep. It has nothing to do with you. When you are alone at home, you always think too much. Don't delay your work because of my worrying."
Shen Tingzhou inexplicably felt that this passage sounded familiar.
Qin Shiyao's complaints echoed in my ears, "Every word has nothing to do with you, every word has to do with you."
Seeing that Shen Tingzhou started to think, Xu Xun hugged Xiao Yinjiance and kissed Shen Tingzhou without saying a word.
Shen Tingzhou's head was immediately kissed into a pulp.
Xu Xun let go of Shen Tingzhou and said considerately, "I've put some hot water in for you. Take a good bath tonight."
Not only was hot water put in, but sleep-inducing incense was also lit, soothing music was played, and the nightgown and bath towel were folded and placed within Shen Tingzhou's reach.
Looking at everything that the snail young man had prepared, Shen Tingzhou felt warm in his heart.
Shen Tingzhou soaked in hot water, ate the fruit washed by Xu Xun, brushed the tablet Xu Xun had placed, and sighed from the bottom of his heart -
What good fortune did he have in his previous life to be able to meet Xiao Xu in this life!
After taking a bath, Xu Xun came in to help him clean the bathtub.
Shen Tingzhou, who was drying his hair, saw this and said hurriedly, "I'll do it, I'll do it."
Xu Xun said, "You've worked all night, have a good rest."
Shen Tingzhou felt ashamed. He didn't work all night. He clearly just ate melons all night.
Xu Xun drained the water from the bathtub and tidied up briefly. The nanny would come in and clean up thoroughly tomorrow.
Seeing Xu Xun unbuttoning his clothes, folding his arms, and working diligently, Shen Tingzhou felt his cheeks burning and his heart pounding again.
In the past, Shen Tingzhou would only feel this way when Xu Xun was about to kill his father. Now, he feels something is wrong whenever they are alone.
After Xu Xun finished cleaning up, he washed his hands and came over to help Shen Tingzhou blow dry his hair.
Shen Tingzhou wanted to say no, but Xu Xun had already brought the hair dryer over and asked Shen Tingzhou to sit down.
Looking in the mirror at Xu Xun, who had his eyebrows lowered and was concentrating on blowing his hair, Shen Tingzhou's eyes wandered, but would always return to Xu Xun.
The pair of slender fingers passed through Shen Tingzhou's wet hair, and the fingertips brushed across his scalp, leaving a faint touch. When the hot air from the airplane blew over him, his entire scalp felt numb.
Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but hide for a moment, and when Xu Xun looked over, he quickly sat up straight.
Xu Xun's mouth curled up slightly.
After blowing dry Shen Tingzhou's hair, Xu Xun just kissed Shen Tingzhou on the corner of his eye, said good night and left.
Shen Tingzhou touched the place where he was kissed, feeling a little confused.
平時都會親好一會兒,怎麽今天就親了他一下?
意識到自己這個困惑有點不健康,沈亭州迅速地鑽進被窩裏。
躺在床上翻了兩個身也睡不着,沈亭州開燈坐起來,從抽屜翻出自己帶過來的平板。
今天花區的帖子倒是一派“溫馨”——
【他老撩撥我,撩撥完還不給碰,今晚我要不要主動一點?】
【結芬啦,祝我跟霍先生百年好合。】
【我家這口子品味太俗了,喜歡黑絲配蓬蓬裙,我真的是……算了給他穿一次吧,畢竟上個月表現不錯。】
在一衆和諧裏,只有一條帖子不和諧。
這個帖子沈亭州上次看過,就是那個随着媽媽住到繼父家,然後遇到了鬼壓床。
當時回帖一致說牛奶有問題,沈亭州抱着好奇再次點了進去。
【抓住“鬼”了,确實是我那個便宜哥哥,但他居然有人格分裂!白天看着挺禁欲,晚上煙熏朋克,說我犯了重罪,要審訊我,審訊你大爺啊審訊。】
不少人回複——
【是不是裝的?】
【我記得虞二拍過一個視頻,就是講變态攻僞裝雙重人格。】
【我也覺得是裝的。】
大多數人都認為對方被抓包後在裝傻,沈亭州翻了翻樓主的回複。
【應該不是,他晚上過來的時候衣服都換了,還有好粗的眼線,說話也跟平時不一樣,帶我去夜店,還跟人打了架。】
樓裏一排一排的問號,都被這位雙重人格的行為給迷惑住。
【那給牛奶下藥的是白天那位?】
【不懂,他不是說你犯了重罪,怎麽又突然帶你去夜店?】
【嗯,看來這是一個不一樣的妖豔貨。】
樓主回:【不知道誰下的藥,我懷疑他是多重人格分裂症,應該還有其他人格,我不是很确定,反正每次給我送牛奶時,他就戴金絲眼鏡,這可能是一個變态人格。】
【他沒說我犯了什麽罪,那天晚上把我铐起來,問了很多亂七八糟的問題,然後把我放了,後半夜抽風非要帶我去夜店,回來的時候人格還突然換回來了。】
【等我再調查調查吧,到時候給大家一個明确答案。】
然後這個樓的帖子徹底歪了,開始根據樓主透露的信息,分析這分裂哥到底有幾個人格。
看大家這麽熱情,樓主補了幾個他倆相處的信息供大家參考。
作為偵探懸疑愛好者,沈亭州也抵不住誘惑,開始加入分析大軍裏。
現在大家重點分析,朋克人格為什麽覺得樓主犯了罪。
沈亭州提取了幾個關鍵詞,拿筆在紙上羅列:櫥窗、糖果、母親、月亮……
琢磨一大圈,等沈亭州擡頭一看,好家夥,已經淩晨兩點半了!
很少晚睡的沈醫生一驚,趕緊關燈睡覺。
-
第二天早上,看到沒精打采的沈亭州,許殉心口一震。
他好愛我!想我想了一個晚上沒睡好!
許殉一把拽過剛從房間出來的沈亭州,用力地抱住他。
沈亭州:?
雖然不懂許殉怎麽了,但沈亭州下意識拍了拍許殉的後背,安撫他看起來有點激動的情緒。
正在擺碗筷的管家,看到許殉一臉甜蜜地拉着沈亭州進來了,眉頭微揚。
看來地裏的野菜都供不上某些人的戀愛腦。
管家沒問他倆發生什麽事這麽高興,拉開椅子說,“許政少爺要結婚了。”
許殉看了一眼沈亭州,然後問,“什麽時候?”
管家說,“後天。”
反應最激烈的是沈亭州,“這麽快!”
許殉跟管家同時看來,沈亭州有點尴尬,“我的意思是……挺快的。”
管家把湯遞過去,“沈醫生去嗎?”
沈亭州有些猶豫,“……我去不合适吧?”
管家轉頭問許殉,“沈醫生去合适嗎?”
許殉在桌下拉了拉沈亭州的手,“一塊去吧。”
沈亭州耳朵微紅,正要說話手邊的手機震了起來。
秦詩瑤連發數條消息。
【你聽說沒,許政跟韓子彥後天的婚禮!】
【許政好像是你家許茶的弟弟,你會跟着去吧,會吧會吧?】
【你一定要去,上次沒撕起來,這次婚禮一定要大撕特撕。】
【我想看渣攻、黑心白蓮社死的畫面,你快發力啊啊啊啊啊啊啊。】
沈亭州:……
消息一條條地彈出來,許殉看了一眼,正巧看到那條叫他許茶的消息。
許殉看向沈亭州,身上開始散發幽怨之氣,“許茶?”
已經掌握安撫許貞子技法的沈亭州立刻說,“她說你是我家的。”
許殉臉色果然緩和下來,沒有再計較這個稱呼。
-
兩天後,沈亭州跟着許殉和管家參加了許政的婚禮。
婚禮的地點在韓家開的一家五星級酒店,沒錯,就是發生過諸多故事的鉑越酒店。
他們來得不算早,到婚禮會場時人已經很多了。
看到這個足不出戶,卻繼承大筆遺産的侄子,許至銘走過來想要嘲諷幾句。
走近後,他才看到許殉身側的沈亭州,想到對方上次說他腎不好,許至銘面皮一抽,又憤然走開了。
你才腎不好,你全家腎都不好!
被詛咒腎不好的沈醫生打量了一眼宴會廳,尋找秦詩瑤的下落。
注意到沈亭州的視線,許殉問,“在找誰?”
沈亭州默默收回目光,“随便看看,就感覺這裏布置的挺好看。”
許殉低聲說,“你要是喜歡,我們也可以布置成這樣。”
沈亭州眼睫一動,擡頭望向許殉。
正在他們對視時,一個爽朗的笑聲傳來,“不好意思,打擾一下。”
沈亭州咳了一下,轉頭去看秦詩瑤。
秦詩瑤沖他暧昧一笑,然後落落大方走到許殉面前,“你好,秦詩瑤,沈醫生的朋友。”
許殉回禮節性微笑,“你好,我是許茶。”
沈亭州:……
秦詩瑤:……
許殉:“開個玩笑,許殉。”
秦詩瑤心道,好一個能屈能伸,還能怼的綠茶,她略帶同情地看了一眼沈亭州。
難怪被吃得死死的,這種段位确實不是小沈能抵擋的。
沈亭州:?
許政的母親走過來跟許殉打招呼,看到一旁的管家,她明顯有些驚訝,随後笑道:“看來我們家小政很有面子,把你這尊大佛都請過來了。”
管家微笑,“過來湊個熱鬧。”
一個工作人員走過來,低聲跟許政的母親說了一句什麽。
許媽媽皺着眉四下掃了一眼,“這孩子,也不知道去哪兒了。”
轉過頭,她臉上又挂起了笑容,對許殉跟管家說,“這個許政,高興得都暈頭了,不知道躲在哪裏美呢,我去找找他,你們坐。”
許媽媽走後,秦詩瑤別有深意道:“不一定是高興得昏頭了。”
沈亭州假裝沒聽見,帶許殉離秦詩瑤遠了一點,因為她吃瓜的模樣跟他撸貓一樣不太……雅觀。
許殉是近親,安排的座位靠近儀式臺,可以直觀夫夫倆交換戒指。
沈亭州跟着許殉坐下,一旁的管家悠悠品茶,對這種場合可謂是熟悉至極。
許至銘不願意跟沈亭州坐一塊,他的位置空了出來,秦詩瑤倒也不客氣,直接坐到上面沖沈亭州擠眉。
她的意思很明顯,讓沈亭州趕緊發力。
沈亭州無視秦詩瑤的目光,吃了一顆許殉剝的巧克力球。
許政被找了回來,他抿着唇,任由工作人員往他身上別胸花,神色寡淡,沒有絲毫喜悅之情。
等同樣穿着白西裝的韓子彥出來,許政才勉強露出一個笑容。
主持婚禮的司儀已經走到儀式臺上暖場,在舒緩的音樂下他的聲音越來越高昂,“……有請我們的新人,許政先生跟韓子彥先生。”
許政邁步走到臺上,韓子彥被人從另一側推了上去。
臺下的秦詩瑤緊張地問沈亭州,“快來了嗎?”
沈亭州閉了閉眼睛沒說話。
秦詩瑤還要說什麽,許殉擡手把沈亭州的耳朵捂住了。
秦詩瑤:……針對我是吧,小綠茶!
沈亭州笑着把許殉的手摁下來,秦詩瑤正看他倆撒狗糧時,會場大門不出意外地打開了。
原本大家的注意力都在司儀這邊,直到聽到嘭地一聲巨響。
姜馳站在門口,手裏拿着禮花炮,嘭嘭嘭地放了三個。
他拽着一臉不情願的紀硯,在漫天彩色的瓦楞紙裏,走進了會場。
姜馳難得穿上西裝,襯衫領子敞開三顆扣子,露出一大片蜜色的胸肌,條紋西裝的口袋上還別着一支紅玫瑰。
這身打扮豔俗至極,但套在姜馳身上一點也不礙眼。
因為他本來就有一種暴發戶般,粗犷的、野蠻的、不拘一格的氣質。
秦詩瑤的形容很精準,“別人是雅痞,他是野痞,越土越野。”
不精致就是姜馳的精致。
一旁的紀硯在姜馳的襯托下,哪怕穿着餐廳工裝服,也是一身仙兒氣。
看到他倆,許政沒有任何驚愕,就好像一直等待的意外終于來了。
韓子彥笑容淡下來,看着全場的焦點紀硯,眸光晦澀不明。
在所有人的注視下,姜馳仿佛才是主角,招手致意,“不好意思,來晚了。”
Ji Yan pulled his hand away, but Jiang Chi held it tightly, with no intention of letting him go.
"Why did you bring me here?" Ji Yan asked in a low voice, "What are you crazy about?"
Those who recognized Ji Yan's expression changed slightly.
Mother Xu frowned, and Han Ziyan's family members looked unhappy. "Where are the security guards? Why do they let anyone in?"
Jiang Chi looked at Han's father who called the security guard and said, "You are so stingy that you can't even afford two glasses of wedding wine? I still have a big gift to give."
Mother Xu came out to smooth things over. "Forget about the gifts. There are no extra seats here. If you want to eat, I'll go outside and arrange a table for you."
As she spoke, she glanced at Ji Yan.
Ji Yan looked away and did not meet Mother Xu's eyes.
Jiang Chi smiled and said, "You don't have to eat, but you still have to send the gift. Wait a moment, it will be here in a few minutes."
Qin Shiyao exclaimed in excitement, "Could it be a prosthetic limb?"
Shen Tingzhou felt that it would be a shame if Qin Shiyao didn't become a villain since she was so good at insulting people.
The housekeeper suddenly said, "Prosthetic limbs are boring, maybe give them oranges."
Qin Shiyao was puzzled for a moment, "Orange? Poisoned?"
Xu Xun, who could match the housekeeper's train of thought, said: "It's the police station, the prison."
Shen Tingzhou gave the housekeeper a complicated look: "Butler, why are you so anxious about chaos? Where is the wedding guardian?"
The security guards had already rushed in to chase the people away, but Xu Zheng stopped them and said, "Let them stay."
Xu Zheng looked at Ji Yan and Jiang Chi coldly and said in a deep voice: "I also want to know what gifts they are going to give me."
Just as Mr. Han was about to speak, Han Ziyan shook his head at him.
Mother Xu showed disapproval and said to Xu Zheng, "Stop messing around. I'll let them go first."
Xu Zhengyi refused to listen, "Don't worry about it. I want to see what they want to do."
Everyone is waiting for the big gift from Ji Yan, their former lover, but Ji Yan himself has no idea what Jiang Chi is up to.
Time passes by.
Five minutes later, a young man with a strange gait appeared at the entrance of the venue.
The moment he saw him, Han Ziyan's usually gentle and handsome face twisted for a moment.
