Chapter 159 Extra: Secret Love Addiction·Shang Yanci［3］
Shang Yanci drew the design of the wedding ring.
The women's ring is a five-carat purple-red diamond with a circle of transparent round diamonds around the main diamond; the men's ring is a three-carat purple-red diamond cut into a square.
The inner rings of the two wedding rings have butterfly wing patterns carved vertically on one side. The butterfly is the same as the one that embellished Pei Yuning's ballet skirt in the photo when they first met.
The ring bands are in the shape of twined branches, and the men's ring is slightly twice as wide as the women's ring.
Send the wedding ring design to the jeweller.
Three months later, Shang Yanci received the finished wedding ring.
The men's ring is completely finished.
He didn't have the size of Pei Yuning's left ring finger, so the band of the women's ring was still a rectangular strip, not a circle.
Shang Yanci put the wedding ring in the safe.
With luck, they will see the light of day.
Roommate's birthday.
Shang Yanci went to Cambridge University, and his roommate took him to a COS dance party in the evening.
As if guided, he saw Pei Yuning at a glance. She was dressed as an ugly girl today, sitting on a pumpkin swing, taking pictures with her friends.
He had never seen such a beautiful little ugly girl.
Shang Yanci stood in the corner, following her figure with his eyes, and watched her throughout the entire dance.
The party was coming to an end and Pei Yuning seemed to be leaving.
A man who didn't know what COS was walking up to her, knelt on one knee, handed her the rose in his hand, and confessed his love to her in broken Chinese.
Shang Yanci's eyes moved away, but his ears did not.
The people around urged Pei Yuning to agree.
Despite the noise of the crowd, Shang Yanci could hear every word Pei Yuning said.
Pei Yuning: "It's disgusting to confess in public. I don't know you, but you took advantage of today's special situation and the direction of public opinion to make me agree to you. It's really a hypocritical and rude confession. Don't speak Chinese in the future. Your language learning ability is really poor."
After saying this, Pei Yuning turned around and left the party.
The man left the stage in disgrace, holding the rose.
Her roommate commented: "No one is pleasing to her. Pei Yuning is really hard to pursue."
Shang Yanci thought: Girls should be hard to pursue like this.
Christmas Eve.
Shang Yanci greeted the principal and prepared apples for all the teachers and students in the school.
Staff dressed in various doll costumes delivered beautifully packaged apple gift boxes to everyone they met.
Pei Yuning only has one class today.
Shang Yanci...was also wearing a doll costume, waiting downstairs of her teaching building.
The bell rang for the end of class.
Roommates and staff handed out apples to students.
Shang Yanci stood aside without moving.
It was not until Pei Yuning appeared that Shang Yanci bent down, picked up the cleaned apple gift box on the stool, and handed it to her with both hands.
The students next to him were surprised: "Ah? There is a living person inside this doll? Why was it motionless just now?"
My roommate has an IQ of 145. He didn’t understand why Shang Yanci came here before, but now he understands everything. He helped explain: “It wasn’t his working time before, it is now.”
Pei Yuning smiled and took the apple gift box with both hands. She reached out and touched the ears of the furry doll: "Thank you, Lop-eared Rabbit. Today is Christmas Eve, remember to eat apples. I wish you peace and safety."
The lop-eared rabbit said nothing, but nodded in a haughty manner.
Pei Yuning thought: When is the time for her (him) to speak?
Shang Yanci watched her turn around and leave, gradually walking away.
The people around had mostly dispersed.
Shang Yanci took off the droop-eared rabbit's headgear.
My roommate asked meaningfully, "Is the hood so effective in keeping warm? Your ears are red."
Shang Yan said "hmm", sat on the chair and ate the apple quietly.
New Year's Eve.
Shang Yanci stood in the woods opposite Yuhua Mingyuan and watched the Pei family set off colorful auspicious clouds of fireworks for three hours.
If Pei Yuning was watching at this moment, this would be the first fireworks show he and she had ever seen.
Shang Yanci received an international express delivery, which was an invitation to Pei Yuning's coming-of-age ceremony.
Birthday: March 21st.
My phone rang. It was a WeChat message.
Father: [Yanci, if you are not busy with work, you can come back to participate. After all, our two families are old friends.]
Shang Yanci: [Good.]
It is not easy to choose a birthday gift for a coming-of-age ceremony. Shang Yanci went to dozens of auctions and finally bought a half-meter-high dragon stone jade Buddha statue.
Shang Yanci was unable to return home early because his grandfather was ill.
The old man was arrogant and thought that his illness was only minor and he did not want to be cared for by a caregiver.
Grandma's health was not very good, and Shang Yanci was worried about leaving her to take care of her alone.
So he thought that it would be fine if he could return on the day of Pei Yuning's coming-of-age ceremony.
On the evening of March 20, the meteorological department issued a red rainstorm warning.
Shang Yanci sat beside the hospital bed, looking at the heavy rain with lightning and thunder outside the window, his heart sinking gradually.
The rainstorm never stopped.
The private flight originally scheduled to fly north of Beijing on the early morning of March 21 was suspended due to abnormal weather conditions.
Shang Yanci stayed awake until dawn.
The whole city seemed to be covered with a layer of gray gauze by the rainstorm, depressing and dull.
The cell phone vibrated slightly and Shang Yanci picked it up.
Father: [It’s a pity that you didn’t come back today and couldn’t witness the engagement of these two children, picture ×2]
There were two pictures, one was a photo of Pei Yuning and Shang Heng, and the other was her and his engagement certificate.
Shang Yanci felt as if he had been hit on the head by a stick. He suddenly felt dizzy and his eyes went blank.
The phone fell to the ground, and in an instant, the screen shattered like a spider web.
I don’t know how long it took, but the rain outside the window seemed to have stopped.
Shang Yanci slowly raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall which showed the Beijing time: March 22nd 00:09.
He got up, went downstairs, and put the jade Buddha statue into the collection room.
An expired birthday gift no longer counts as a gift.
Shang Yanci returned to the bedroom, bent down, picked up his mobile phone and opened the photo album.
From the photos saved in the circle of friends, there is always Shang Heng who is not too far away from Pei Yuning.
In the photo, the two of them didn't look very friendly, so Shang Yanci never noticed him.
It turned out that there was already someone silently accompanying her.
Childhood sweethearts are a beautiful story.
The next day, the weather was sunny.
Shang Yanci went to a tattoo parlor and got a matte pink "papillon" tattooed on the little finger of his left hand.
The butterfly seemed to have flown away.
Shang Yanci did not stop his secret love.
It was so strange. He thought about her every day, but he could no longer dream about her at night.
It seemed like she didn't want to come into his dream anymore.
My roommate said Pei Yuning graduated with a master's degree ahead of schedule, and tomorrow is her graduation ceremony.
Shang Yan resigned.
She has family and friends around her, and always seems to be lively and cheerful.
Shang Heng didn't come.
Shang Yanci looked at her in her graduation gown with longing.
His roommate asked him, "Is it painful to have a secret crush?"
Shang Yanci looked at Pei Yuning's receding back and whispered, "It's not bitter."
Learn about Pei Yuning and Shang Heng's wedding date.
Shang Yanci bought a ring to cover the tattoo on his little finger.
Keeping the precepts for her is also keeping chastity.
There will be no one else but her.
The wedding date is approaching.
Shang Yan resigned and returned to the north of Beijing.
I want to see her in her wedding dress with my own eyes.
In the evening, Shang Yanci watched the video sent by Fu Siqi.
The next day.
Shang Yanci went to every tea room and private room on the second and third floors of the private kitchen.
Finally, I chose a tea room on the second floor with the widest view.
He didn't know if he could wait for Pei Yuning.
Shang Yanci waited for three days, but she didn't come.
It seems like I’m going to miss it again.
Fu Siqi couldn't bear it any longer, so he called him and said, "I'll monitor you, don't keep waiting."
Shang Yanci refused bluntly: "No need."
"What's the difference between the feeling of having your hopes dashed again and again and self-abuse?!" Fu Siqi was so angry that he hung up the phone.
Shang Yanci sat in the tea room, looking at the pear blossoms outside the window.
No one likes the feeling of having unfulfilled hopes, but they won't last long.
When she gets married, he will naturally withdraw permanently.
So, it’s okay to wait a few more times.
The first lesson a secret admirer learns: find joy in suffering.
Shang Yanci continued, etc.
The pear blossoms outside the window floated in.
He stood up and walked to the window, looking up at the cold, bright moon in the sky and the scattered, shining stars.
If only he had turned back that day.
But there is no medicine for regret in the world.
He felt ridiculous for the absurd idea he had and laughed at himself.
At that moment, he saw Pei Yuning walking slowly along the wooden corridor on the first floor.
By the time Shang Yanci reacted, his feet had already stepped onto the wooden corridor on the first floor.
Pei Yuning had just turned around and was about to leave when the man behind her reached out to grab her.
Shang Yanci grabbed the man's arm and pulled back hard.
The man seemed to have said something, but Shang Yanci was unaware of it. He also seemed to have said something, but he was also unaware of it.
He saw Pei Yuning turn around and look back.
The evening breeze blew gently, and a petal of pear blossom fell on her eyelashes. She blinked, and the crystal clear dew on the petals slid down her cheek, like tears leaving traces.
"Miss, if you need it." He handed her a sky blue handkerchief with his name embroidered on the corner.
Pei Yuning thanked him and took it.
She had a bright and charming smile on her face and introduced herself politely: "Pei Yuning, my name is."
For the first time, he heard her name spoken by herself.
At that moment, the five-year secret love story replayed in Shang Yanci's mind in its entirety.
He looked directly into her eyes and said gently, "Shang Yanci, my name."
