Chapter 69 Common People
◎ "I'm happy to~"◎
After sighing, Jiang Siyue picked up the plate and prepared to eat somewhere else.
Xie Xishu was extremely angry, but he didn't dare to do anything to Jiang Siyue. He looked around and grabbed a few lettuce leaves. After raising his hand, before he could take the next step, someone grabbed his wrist.
"What do you want to do?" The man's voice was not loud, but loud enough for Jiang Siyue to hear. Jiang Siyue turned around and looked at the two of them in confusion.
"Miss, this woman wants to throw vegetable leaves at you." The man explained to himself.
"You're talking nonsense!" Xie Xishu said anxiously, "I can't catch it and eat it myself!"
Jiang Siyue: “…”
After nodding slightly to the man, she continued walking with the plate.
The food here is good and very much to her liking. Jiang Siyue looked for something according to her memory, and within a few steps she caught up with a man. Jiang Siyue glanced sideways and saw that it was the man from before.
"Hello, I'm Lu Jun." Lu Jun smiled brightly, "I'm the best man at the wedding."
Jiang Siyue was a little overwhelmed by his enthusiasm, but he had helped her after all, so she nodded politely, "Hello, what can I do for you?"
Seeing that she was not in high spirits, Lu Jun hurriedly said, "We met in the corridor at noon today. You seemed to be going to look for Sister Sui Sui at that time."
Jiang Siyue didn't remember who she had met in the corridor during the day, but when she heard him call Min Sui so intimately, she guessed that they must have a good relationship. When she was about to introduce herself, Lu Jun's phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and said with a little annoyance, "I have something to do. I have to leave first. We will talk next time."
This person came and left in a hurry. Jiang Siyue smiled and nodded, not taking this matter to heart.
Perhaps because she had eaten too much, Jiang Siyue felt sleepy for no reason. Before she even reached Zhao Yan, she had already yawned several times in succession. She reached out to rub the corners of her eyes, but then she forced her hand back, raised her head, and yawned again.
"What are you guys, huh—playing at?"
Zhao Yan gently brushed away the strands of hair hanging on her eyelashes, a faint smile on his lips, "Bridge, do you want to join us?"
When it comes to playing cards, Jiang Siyue only knows the simplest game of Landlord. In college, she took two elective bridge classes with her roommate, but she was left confused. From then on, she concluded that playing cards was not for her.
After shaking her head gently, she grabbed the pillow on the sofa and placed it on her legs, then took a piece of fruit and chewed it slowly. Before she finished chewing the fruit, Zhao Yan's hand reached out to her, "Let's go."
"Oh my!" The others who were gathered around immediately expressed their dissatisfaction. Since Sun Yao had lost the most, their voices were the loudest. "Look at this guy! He wants to leave after winning money! Hold on, hold on!"
The others echoed in unison, and suddenly there was a chorus of sighs. Jiang Siyue looked around at everyone, but before she could say anything, she heard Zhao Yan say, "Siyue is sleepy."
"You're not sleepy." Sun Yao yelled, "If you're worried about Siyue, I'll ask the waiter to take her back."
"I'm happy to." Zhao Yan said in a raised tone, holding her hand with his right hand, with his suit jacket and her bag hanging in the crook of his left arm. "Let's go."
Fang Ming, who was sitting on the side, curled his lips, then made an exaggerated gesture and said in a teasing tone: "I'm happy to do so."
The next second, Zhao Yan's pillow hit him on the head accurately. Jiang Siyue looked at them playing around, the corners of her mouth raised, and she reached out to take her bag, "I'll go back by myself, you have fun with everyone."
Zhao Yan didn't move. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I'm happy with it, wife."
"Uh--" Jiang Siyue froze, and while she was stunned, Zhao Yan had already taken her away from here.
After walking a few steps, I came to my senses and heard everyone's intermittent teasing.
"Old Zhao used to be so aloof! Mr. Zhang couldn't influence him at all. Now he's too vulgar. He always asks about Siyue, Siyue, and Siyue. Only Siyue is supreme. He's a complete henpecked slave..."
The voice had a strong Beijing accent, and it was obviously Sun Yao's. Immediately after his, there was another voice in rebuttal, which Jiang Siyue didn't quite recognize.
"What's wrong with being a wife slave? You don't even have a wife."
"Rong Changping! You old wife, get out of my sight now!"
“…”
As we walked further away, all the sounds faded.
This hotel focuses on nature. The path back is exceptionally quiet, with the occasional rustling of leaves in the wind and mottled shadows of the trees. When you look up slightly, you can see the sky full of stars.
She thought this road could last longer.
Jiang Siyue tilted her head and looked into his eyes, "Teacher Zhao, have you ever been a particularly cold and aloof person?" It seemed like he had heard similar words from his friends many times.
"Compared to Sun Yao, everyone else is aloof."
Jiang Siyue unconsciously compared them in her mind and felt that it made sense.
The stars in the sky seemed to be denser, and Jiang Siyue couldn't help swinging Zhao Yan's arm again and again, as if she had captured the fun in the monotony and never got tired of it.
Zhao Yan looked at the stars in her eyes and smiled dotingly unconsciously.
Just like this, keep going.

The next day was the formal wedding ceremony, which was supervised by various professionals, so it was probably no big deal - Jiang Siyue hadn't finished speaking when Min Sui called and asked her to come over.
Jiang Siyue was naturally willing to help, but Zhao Yan was still asleep. She left a note, picked up some clothes and rushed over to her.
After rushing to the scene, Jiang Siyue and Min Sui stared at each other for a while.
"This is so beautiful!" Jiang Siyue looked around Min Sui. Her dragon and phoenix gown was outlined with intricate patterns in red and gold thread, her makeup was clean and delicate, her various jewelries were translucent, and her simple bun had a gentle touch, making her look bright and radiant.
"Are you jealous?" Min Sui pulled her to sit on the bed. "You and Lao Zhao should also get one. It will definitely be better than mine!"
"No, no!" Jiang Siyue waved her hands repeatedly, her face showing real resistance. She glanced around the room and said sincerely, "I have social anxiety and can't handle this."
Min Sui shrugged, and after confirming that she was not indulging in Zhao Yan's preference of "not holding a wedding", she did not try to persuade her much.
Zhou Yan had told the story of Zhao Yan "winning and leaving" yesterday early in the morning. She was amazed at Zhao Yan's change, and was also glad that Jiang Siyue did not really divorce Zhao Yan. When she heard about it before, she was also nervous.
Fortunately, in the end, there is a happy ending.
After marveling at her beauty, Jiang Siyue remembered her purpose and said, "By the way, Sui Sui, how can I help you? Carry your bag?"
"No, no, I just want to talk to you." Min Sui held her hand tightly. Although some bridesmaids were invited today, most of them were just friends with whom she had a casual relationship. There were all kinds of complicated relationships behind them. If anything she said was speculated, it would be a waste of time.
Jiang Siyue definitely agreed to this request and carefully accompanied her to choose colors and chat about gossip. During the break of taking photos, Jiang Siyue went to the fitting room to change her clothes.
After getting off the plane, she took a rough look at the clothes, but didn't pay much attention to the specific details. Now after changing into clothes, she noticed that the piece of clothing she picked up casually was actually a goose yellow halter-neck backless dress. It looked good, but her entire back felt cold, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"Don't wear a coat." Min Sui held her hand and ruthlessly confiscated the coat. "It will be hot outside, that's it!"
Jiang Siyue didn't have the energy for the subsequent door blocking phase, so she found a free moment to leave the room and head straight for the venue. The environment was too noisy just now, and she didn't have time to talk to Zhao Yan. She didn't know if he had arrived at the venue yet. If not, she would just grab a fruit plate and eat while waiting.
There were already quite a few people in the venue, coming and going. Everyone was dressed similarly. Jiang Siyue glanced around but didn't see any trace of Zhao Yan.
Okay, here’s the fruit plate.
Before she even took a step, a gentle voice came from behind her, penetrating the noisy voices and the monotonous sound of the wind and entering her ears.
"Siyue, I'm here."
The disappointment in her heart disappeared in an instant, so quickly that she almost forgot it existed. She turned around with a bright smile. Zhao Yan smiled, his eyes met hers, and he tilted his head to the side. His smile deepened a little, and his arms opened naturally.
With a thought, Jiang Siyue trotted to him and threw herself into his arms. Zhao Yan immediately put his arms around her waist, like a set of saw teeth, fitting perfectly.
She almost thought that they would have to wait a while before they could meet.
Obviously, she was not clingy at all in China, but since landing in New Zealand, Jiang Siyue wanted to stick with Zhao Yan all the time.
I miss him, but it's only been a while. Would it be a bit hypocritical to say it?
"I miss you."
"Hmm?" Jiang Siyue raised her eyes from his arms, met his eyes, and saw the idiom "gentle as water".
"Is your voice a little quiet?" Zhao Yan murmured to himself, then leaned closer. His gentle voice deepened and became more lingering. "Wife, I miss you."
"You...I..." Jiang Siyue still couldn't get used to Zhao Yan calling her "wife" outside the bed.
There seemed to be earnestness in his dark eyes. Jiang Siyue lowered her head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Husband, I miss you too."
Her voice was very soft, but in Zhao Yan's heart, it was as loud as fireworks during festivals. Her eyes curved as she leaned closer and seduced him, "I didn't hear you. Can you say it again?"
"..." Jiang Siyue felt like a balloon that had been popped. She was exhausted. "I think we should go in."
"Yeah." Zhao Yan didn't ask her any further questions. He took her soft hand and the two of them slowly walked towards the center of the venue.
Only then did Zhao Yan notice the hollowed-out back of her dress. The wind blew up the hanging ribbon, and her fair butterfly bones were faintly visible through the gauze, like a fluttering butterfly, beautiful, lively and natural.
only--
Apparently, Zhao Yan was not the only one who noticed this beauty.
Jiang Siyue stopped unconsciously, confused, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Yan's cold gaze swept across those "gazes", and those "gazes" dispersed one by one. After ending it all calmly, he met her eyes and shook his head, "It's okay."
