A smile, a toast, pouring out the past, a few words to describe the drunken future
"I really wanted to win him over before, but he only had eyes for you. It's a pity." At this point, Tu Xinyue sighed again: "He said that there are always regrets in life. When you look back, you realize that regrets are actually beautiful, just like the mole at the corner of my eye."
Xue Jiuyue knew that the "he" behind this, Tu Xinyue, was referring to her beloved.
On the third night, Xue Jiuyue even wondered if her shop had gathered the most beautiful women and handsome men in Xialin. The men, in particular, were nearly every type Xue Jiuyue could think of: mature and charming, youthful and energetic, the boy next door, the sweetheart, some muscular and well-built, some gentle and elegant... To Xue Jiuyue's surprise, Qian Jianjun and Zeng Le were also invited guests.
Because Tu Xinyue hadn't requested a clearing, many regular customers remained, including the young couple, the only VIP couple, and the elderly Mr. and Mrs. Qiu. It wasn't surprising that Qiu Xue didn't leave, but her husband, who happened to arrive, hadn't left either, sitting quietly at a table far away. Shu Xiaoxian, who often studied in the cafe, held a unique position: both a guest who hadn't left and a close friend invited by Tu Xinyue.
Everyone was present, and Tu Xinyue stood in the middle of the room, ready to speak. Her hair was tied up, and a golden floor-length evening gown accentuated her elegance.
"Thank you all for taking the time to attend this party on the night before Chinese Valentine's Day, when we should have been celebrating. Every beautiful woman here is a close friend and bestie of mine. Every handsome man here was once very close to me. Thank you for bringing so much happiness to Tu Xinyue in the past! Thank you for bringing so many memories to Tu Xinyue in the future!"
Today's gathering is a ceremony for me, saying goodbye to the past and saying goodbye to being single! It means that no matter the time or other things, we may not be as casual as before, but I believe that friendship will always last, accompany us, warm us, and last forever!
In the past, I imagine everyone here has questioned me to some degree, feeling I was too willful and careless. Some of you, who left a lasting impression on me, even chose to leave because of this. I remember always saying back then, "The one who deserves my love doesn't need me to wait around for him; it's our future together that needs protecting."
I'm so lucky to have found Mr. Right, the man I love! Before, I belonged to no one but myself. From now on, I belong not only to myself but to him as well!
He had been planning to attend today, but I persuaded him to withdraw, fearing you wouldn't be able to let go. But he asked me to pass on a few words to the gentlemen: Everyone has a past. Rather than avoiding, forgetting, or harboring resentment, it's better to let go. Every love story deserves to be celebrated, every life should be celebrated, every moment needs to be commemorated, and every princess must be cherished. If he fails to protect his princess in the future, every knight is welcome to challenge him!
So my number won't change from now on, you can call me if you have anything! Okay, enough nonsense, tomorrow is Chinese Valentine's Day, there are a lot of handsome guys and beautiful girls today, let's start having fun! I have only one request, no inappropriate actions on the scene!
Then, background music played and everyone started chatting over the meal. Tu Xinyue chatted with each guest present one by one.
"Congratulations, Sister Xinyue. I'm so envious of you for finding your true love!" Shu Xiaoxian sincerely congratulated Tu Xinyue.
"Thank you! Silly girl, it looks like you've completely gotten over it?"
"Well, I have to thank Sister Xiaoyue and you mainly! Sister Xiaoyue saved me, and you enlightened me! Especially after hearing your speech tonight, I realized how stupid I was before!"
"Well, not only stupid! Sister Yue once told me, 'It's not that you can't see clearly, it's that you can only see clearly, not see clearly!' Life, including love, is not like opening a blind box. Once opened, there are only two results - yes or no. What we want is often not the result, but the process of opening. Life is like the journey to the West to obtain the scriptures. Only after going through 81 difficulties can we obtain the true scriptures! So we should be grateful for every disaster that makes us become more perfect ourselves!"
Shu Xiaoxian was sincerely convinced, "Sister Yue is always so philosophical."
Tu Xinyue smiled slyly, "Tonight I will teach you another philosophy!"
"What?"
"Even if I have to go through ninety-nine men, it's worth it to find true love! Hehehe..."
"You hate Sister Xinyue, I don't want it..."
After learning about tonight's theme, Qian Jianjun began to wonder what had happened that night. Hearing Tu Xinyue's speech, he became even more puzzled. As soon as Tu Xinyue sat down, he couldn't wait to ask, "Xinyue, did we...?"
"No! Don't worry, uncle!"
"But then why was I invited today?"
"It's just a polite invitation, boss. And don't you remember hugging me?"
"That's it?"
Tu Xinyue stuck out her tongue playfully: "Isn't this considered intimacy? Uncle, if you think it is, then it is! Anyway, I have someone in my heart now, whether it is or not is all you can remember or imagine!"
Qian Jianjun, who had no answer, could only turn his attention back to Xue Jiuyue.
When Tu Xinyue walked over to Zeng Le's table, their voices dropped significantly. It was unclear what they were talking about, but Zeng Le's orchid finger, with a smile, tapped Tu Xinyue's brow.
A handsome man, dressed in luxury goods, with a cynical expression on his face, was looking at the beauties present tonight like he was hunting prey, and he often glanced at Xue Jiuyue. He didn't react until Tu Xinyue was already sitting opposite him.
The boy complimented, "You look so beautiful tonight! Will there be another chance for us to be 'honest' with each other in the future?"
"No chance, scumbag!" Tu Xinyue said firmly.
The boy said with a bitter face, "Can you change your name? You have been calling me this since the first day we met."
"You relied on your dad's wealth to cheat on so many girls. If you're not a scumbag, who is?"
"That's not the way to say it. They're after my money, and I'm after their looks. We each get what we want, it's just a transaction. If you want to call it a scam, it's just that they're hoping to get more, or even a lifetime of wealth, by having sex with me. If they can't get what they want, they're going around slandering me. How could that be possible? I'm not stupid! After all, supply exceeds demand."
"I know your principles. You won't lift a finger if a girl doesn't accept your gift. Otherwise, do you think you have a chance to talk to me?"
"Actually, I'm curious too. Your dad is richer than mine, so why did you and I have such a relationship? I'm drooling just thinking about it now."
Tu Xinyue told him the answer directly: "I first heard about you from a little sister, and wanted to help her seduce you. But later I found out that you are better than I heard, and it's not just your fault. It just so happened that I didn't have a playmate at that time, so I used you as a substitute."
The boy looked terrified when he heard this, "You're really cruel. Fortunately I didn't offend you."
"You scumbag, you're actually not a bad person, and you're actually quite smart. But you should learn a little more culture. I called you here today mainly to thank you for the joy you brought me, including your vulgar jokes and many happy gestures."
When this was mentioned, the boy was very proud, "That's right, posture determines pregnancy!"
If Xue Jiuyue or Qian Jianjun heard their conversation, they would immediately understand the origins of many of Tu Xinyue's "double entendres".
Seeing the boy's expression, Tu Xinyue kindly admonished him, "You scumbag, be more careful with your words in the future. Don't just speak without restraint all the time. This way you'll avoid misunderstandings, including at home. A male executive at a well-known investment company was once sued by a female subordinate for using inappropriate words when giving examples during a meeting."
"What did he say?"
"He said that the market is like a noble lady. No matter how gorgeously she dresses, as long as you spread her legs, you can do whatever you want. If you want to spread open these two legs that are tightly clamped together, the sharper the explosion point, the better." This example was actually told to Tu Xinyue by the person involved, Xue Jiuyue, during a casual chat.
Although the boy wasn't particularly interested in studying, he had been influenced by the business atmosphere of his family since he was a child. "That's a very wise saying! It's brilliant, and it makes a lot of sense. Say it again, I have to memorize it. How can I be sued for this?"
"I'm not kidding. I'm serious. In the end, the executive publicly apologized, and the woman in question angrily resigned." Seeing the boy's disapproval, Tu Xinyue said earnestly, "Let's not talk about the distant past. Let's just talk about us. If you hadn't yelled 'Go away' every time you trembled, perhaps our happiness could have lasted longer. You have to understand that not every woman is after your money and can be flirted with. You have to learn to respect others, only then can you find someone who truly loves you!"
The boy said in frustration, "If you had told me earlier, I would have changed! I've been devoted to you for so many years. With others, I only cared about my body, but with you, I was sincere. The only thing I know is that you're definitely not after my money."
"Thank you! But no matter how far we go, it won't be that far. I still like men with substance."
The boy didn't hesitate, "I have connotations! I have a lot of connotation jokes! Remember me when you tell jokes next time! Cheers to the connotation!"
"To friendship!"
The two of them toasted happily.
When Ke Yike was called out from the kitchen by Xue Jiuyue, he was still a little confused.
"Ahem, let's go have a drink with Xinyue!"
"Ahem..." Ke Yike hurriedly explained, "Why? What has this got to do with me? I'm innocent!"
"I know, but you were once someone's dream girl."
"There's no need to have a drink, as if there's something between her and me." Ke Yike was reluctant.
"Go ahead, this is an additional request from the customer who booked the entire place! Otherwise, I won't pay."
"oh……"
"Go ahead, and tell Xinyue..."
"Xinyue, congratulations on finding true love!" Ke Yike gritted his teeth and stopped Tu Xinyue with a glass of wine.
"Ahem, brother, sit down and talk for a while?"
"No need, I'm not your ex..."
"Are you worried that Sister Yue will misunderstand? Don't worry, I told her yesterday that you are the regret in my life, and today we're done with it."
After saying this, Tu Xinyue took the lead and sat down at an empty table.
Ke Yike had no choice but to follow and sit down. "Xinyue, isn't it enough for me to give you my blessing? Is there anything else you need to finish?"
"Hehehe..." Tu Xinyue's face flushed, and she chuckled softly, like a hibiscus flower blooming. After laughing, she spoke in a charming manner, "Ahem, brother, how do you think I'm going to end this with you? How about a kiss goodbye?"
