Duan Ye was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Nanxing, March 29th, that was yesterday. You prepared it yesterday?"
Nanxing nodded: "Yes, I just learned from my mother that you opened a shop. I originally wanted to have your name engraved, but unfortunately, I don't know your wife's name, so I just engraved the date."
Nanxing didn't find anything wrong with it; she had thought it through very carefully, and the gifts were all in pairs.
But Nanxing forgot.
March 29th, two years ago, was the day she pushed him to Ye Nuan.
It's all fate.
He gave her up that day.
On the same day, she also let him go.
fine.
He remembered the night he got completely drunk, crying uncontrollably while lying on Liu Jie and Lin Feng's laps.
The last thing he said back then was: "I've liked you for so long, I almost thought you were mine."
But Nanxing didn't hear it; only Liu Jie and Lin Feng did.
They've known each other since birth, their graduation certificates show countless photos of them getting closer, but they don't have a single photo together.
It was as if they had never existed in each other's world.
Duan Ye smiled and accepted the gift.
"Nanxing, thank you for the gift. I love it, and I think my wife will love it too."
"Nanxing, I'm busy with other things at the shop, so I won't serve you any longer."
After saying that, Duan Ye turned and went into the store.
The sun was shining brightly, and people were coming and going outside, but Nanxing felt only loneliness.
Sometimes she felt that they shouldn't be like this, but after thinking it over, it seemed like this was the only way.
She came here simply to... force herself to come to an end.
I wish Duan Ye all the best, and I also wish myself great success.
Nanxing had only taken a few steps when Lin Feng caught up, looking pale.
Nanxing was a little confused: "What's wrong?"
Lin Feng: "Why did you have to engrave March 29th?"
Nanxing still didn't understand why Lin Feng was so angry.
Lin Feng was amused by Nan Xing's reaction. He had wanted to remind her, but for some reason, he didn't say anything.
He wondered what Nanxing's expression would be when she found out what she had done.
Why is Duan Ye the only one suffering so much?
So Lin Feng glanced at her and said, "You two have no history, which is really the right choice."
Lin Feng left, and Nan Xing turned around.
But two lines of clear tears streamed down her face behind her sunglasses.
She could understand that Lin Feng was standing up for Duan Ye, but Lin Feng's words also genuinely hurt her.
No story?
They grew up together since they were little, how can you say there's no story?
But what could she do?
Nanxing looked up at the sky, held back her tears, walked to the car, and got in.
The driver headed towards the film crew's location.
Nanxing took out loose powder to touch up her makeup, but tears kept falling. She could only touch up her makeup again and again, trying to numb herself in this way.
She understood Duan Ye; she knew perfectly well that the moment Duan Ye accepted the gift, it meant…
They really have nothing to do with each other anymore.
Their tacit understanding has always been unspoken.
I never expected that this kind of tacit understanding would come in handy at this moment.
"absurd."
Nanxing could only say these two words.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the number of people in the coffee shop finally began to decrease.
Duan Ye and Duan Sheng had already gone to work with their colleagues. Apart from the baristas, only Ding Yifen and Xie Congjing were helping out.
The two have been best friends for many years and always help each other out.
Xie Congjing: "That's immoral of you! Duan Ye got married, why didn't you say a word?"
Ding Yifen chuckled and said, "We haven't had the wedding yet, so we're not in a rush."
Xie Congjing snorted: "You promised to make Duan Ye my son-in-law in the future, but you're not keeping your word at all."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yifen glared at her: "Your daughter is in the entertainment industry and doesn't like my son. What can I do? It's so hard for a son to find a wife these days. Now that I've finally found one who's willing to be with me, I have to make my move first!"
Xie Congjing was speechless: "You, you, you, after all these years, your slippery nature hasn't changed at all."
Ding Yifen became serious: "To put it bluntly, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Even if we mothers are willing, can't we just ask them to?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Congjing nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I really like that kid Duan Ye, but... Nanxing just isn't lucky enough to have him."
Ding Yifen: "People have different pursuits. I think Nanxing's good days are yet to come."
"Besides, even if our son and daughter don't get together, does that mean we're not best friends anymore? If I have something good to eat, I'll still bring it to you, won't I?"
Xie Congjing was satisfied and even had the energy to wipe the table: "That's right. What they do has nothing to do with us parents. We're getting old, so it's better for us to do some square dancing when we have nothing to do."
Ding Yifen immediately chimed in, "That's right! Look at Duan Ye and Nan Xing. Even if they can't be husband and wife, they can still be like brother and sister, and classmates. After they each start their own families, they can still help each other out, right?"
Xie Congjing: "That's true, but her stubbornness really gives me a headache."
Ding Yifen: "Nanxing's stubbornness of not giving up until she hits a wall is nothing new. Just let her follow the path she wants to take. She'll change course when she gets hurt."
Xie Congjing looked at the door with a touch of melancholy.
What she was worried about was not that Nanxing wouldn't be able to turn when she was in pain, but that by the time Nanxing was in pain and wanted to turn, there would already be a dead end ahead.
