Finally, amidst enthusiastic applause, Fang Rou turned her back on the path she had come from, going in the opposite direction from everyone else.
As we approached the door, the waiter politely presented us with a box of beautifully packaged red candies.
Fang Rou looked up, startling the waiters; the sorrow in her eyes was heartbreaking.
The waiter instinctively tried to take the wedding candy back.
Fang Rou had already reached out and taken it: "Thank you."
With a simple "thank you," Fang Rou disappeared through the doorway.
The waiter was about to remind Fang Rou that there were still seats available...
But he couldn't say anything, and just stared blankly as Fang Rou walked further and further away.
Luo An and his brothers escorted Jiang Zifan and the others out of the auditorium.
Duan Ye finally had time to find Fang Rou because he had a text message from an unknown number on his phone before the ceremony began: The person you are looking for is in the innermost seat of the seventh row.
Duan Ye actually found Jiang Zifan, who, after being made up, might not even be recognized by her own mother.
He wanted to know how Fang Rou had found out, but when he looked for her again, she was nowhere to be found.

—Because his makeup artist was someone I arranged.
—Also, don't tell him I've been here.
—I will never go back to China. Thank you, Duan Ye.
Fang Rou's car drove out of the auditorium and headed towards the airport.
The wedding lasted until 7 p.m.
Duan Ze took Shen Niannian home. Shen Niannian put on a red cheongsam and wrapped herself in a coat, and watched the fireworks downstairs with Duan Ze.
Fireworks burst across the sky.

Fireworks lit up the sky over the entire capital city, as if someone had started setting them off in all directions throughout the city.
Shen Niannian jumped up excitedly: "Wow! So beautiful!"
Duan Ze looked at Duan Ye, his eyes asking: Did you arrange this?
Duan Ye: "..."
I guess you could say I am.
At the airport, Fang Rou, who had been sitting there all day, finally boarded a plane and left Beijing forever amidst a sky full of fireworks.
Goodbye, Beijing.
Goodbye, Duan Ze.
