Xia Zhi didn't know what Qiao Yiqing and Xia Yizi were thinking. He hurried out and went straight to Qin Zijin's house.
Qin Zijin and Tang Can were both there, and a lot of festive things were prepared at home. Big red wedding characters could be seen posted everywhere in the house.
The festive look clearly indicated that Tang Simeng was really getting married.
Xia Zhi suddenly felt even more uncomfortable.
Qin Zijin saw him, smiled, and greeted him: "Xia Zhi, come here."
Xia Zhi walked over in a daze, looked at Qin Zijin, pursed his lips, wanted to speak but didn't know where to start.
"You and Mengmeng are childhood sweethearts. You have known each other for more than ten years. She has always treated you as her brother. This time Mengmeng is getting married, and her brother is away and can't come back for a while. I would like to ask you for a favor, okay?" Qin Zijin looked at Xia Zhi seriously.
Xia Zhi's throat was so blocked that he couldn't speak, so he just nodded.
Qin Zijin's face lit up with smiles: "That's great! You can help hold Mengmeng's hand when the time comes. Make sure to hand her over safely to the groom."
Xia Zhi's whole body trembled and his heart ached.
"You look so bad. Are you sick? Come here and let me take your pulse." Looking at Xia Zhi like this, Qin Zijin's smile became even brighter.
You little brat, you've made my daughter suffer for so long, now it's time for you to taste what it feels like.
Xia Zhi shook his head, his face still pale, but he bit his lip and endured it.
It took a while for him to recover, and his voice was a little stammered: "Is Mengmeng here? I want to talk to her for a few minutes."
"Yes, I'm putting on makeup inside. I'm going to try on a few dresses today because I'm getting married in a few days." Qin Zijin nodded with a smile and pointed to a place not far away.
Xia Zhi didn't know how he walked over. He felt like his mind was blank. The surroundings were glaring red, decorated with lights, hung with red lanterns, and covered with big red wedding characters. It looked particularly dazzling and eye-catching.
He came to the door of Tang Simeng's room, raised his hand, but was unable to push the door open.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Tang Simeng's voice was calm and expressionless.
Xia Zhi pushed the door open and went in.
The room was also decorated very festively. As soon as you entered the room, you could see a big red wedding character pasted on the wall.
Xia Zhi's eyes were stung and he stood at the door for a long time before he walked in.
The room is very big, and Tang Simeng is in the inner room.
When Xia Zhi walked over, she was wearing a bright red wedding dress and had delicate makeup on her face. She didn't seem surprised at his arrival at all. She just looked at him calmly: "You're here."
Xia Zhi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but all the words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out. He looked at Tang Simeng for a long time before he struggled to find his voice: "Can you not get married?"
"Why don't you get married?" Tang Simeng raised her eyebrows and looked at Xia Zhi with a smile on her lips.
That smile seemed to be mocking.
Xia Zhi felt a little more pain in his heart. He took a deep breath and spoke after a long time: "Mengmeng, I'm sorry. I, I regret it."
"Regret?" Tang Simeng seemed not to understand what he said and tilted her head.
All the emotions completely burst out at that moment. The pain and reluctance that had been weighing on my heart for these days, as well as the pain and depression in my heart after seeing the red wedding characters when I walked in, I finally couldn't hold it back at this moment.
Xia Zhi was very sure in his heart that he could not lose Tang Simeng.
If he does nothing and doesn't make one last effort, he will never be reconciled in his life.
You say that as long as she is happy, if you really love someone to the core, how can you just watch her get married without any concern?
His face was full of pain, and he felt that he was despicable and shameless, but he still spoke with a little hope: "Mengmeng, I like you. I have liked you a long time ago."
"I have low self-esteem and I'm useless. I always feel like you're too good and I'm not worthy of you. So even though I clearly like you so much, I still don't dare get too close. I'm afraid one day I'll lose control of myself and want to confess my feelings to you, telling you all the little thoughts hidden in my heart."
"I like you, but you are so beautiful, so beautiful that I can't bear to desecrate you."
"I thought I could do it. I thought as long as I saw you happy, nothing else would matter to me. As long as you were happy, that would be enough."
"But when I heard you were getting married, I couldn't eat or sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, you were the only thing on my mind. I realized I wasn't that open-minded and generous. I really couldn't bear to watch you get married."
"I know I'm mean and shameless, but I can't help it. I can't help but want to ask you, Mengmeng, are you willing to give me another chance?"
"I will definitely not back down this time. I will spend my whole life being good to you and loving you. I, I, can you give me a chance?"
Tang Simeng didn't say anything, just looked at him calmly.
This is the person she has liked since she was a girl. She has liked him for many, many years, so many years that she doesn't even know how long it has been, nor when she started to fall in love with him.
But for so many years, Xia Zhi hid his feelings very well, and even though he liked someone, he never revealed it at all.
Even when Qiao Yiqing came to propose marriage three years ago, he flatly refused.
In the past three years, whenever she calmed down, she would think of the look on Xia Zhi's face when he rejected her, and her heart would ache.
The marriage and the recent farce were all planned by Qin Zijin. She did not object and cooperated with Qin Zijin in acting.
Now hearing Xia Zhi say this, it seems like he has let go of an obsession that he had had for many years.
Tang Simeng suddenly smiled, a very bright smile: "Xia Zhi, why do you think I will definitely agree to you? Do you think I will always be here waiting for you?"
"You regret it now? It's too late. In this world, it's not like everything can be turned back just by regretting. I don't like you anymore."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi's face turned pale and his body began to stagger.
He looked at Tang Simeng, and the sharp pain in his heart could not be ignored at all. His mind was full of Tang Simeng's words: I don't like you anymore.
I don't like you anymore.
His mouth was filled with bitterness, his heart ached so much that he could hardly breathe, his vision went black for a while, and finally his body swayed and he fell down.
Tang Simeng almost lost control and rushed forward. Seeing Xia Zhi fall in front of her, she forced herself to calm down, but her voice couldn't stop shaking: "Xia Zhi, stop pretending. Do you think I will change my mind if you do this?"
"Summer Solstice?"
Tang Simeng quickly reacted.
Xia Zhi has always been an upright person. How could he do such a thing to arouse my sympathy and distress?
She stood up suddenly, ran over quickly to help Xia Zhi up, grabbed his hand to feel his pulse. As soon as she felt his pulse, her face suddenly changed, her body swayed, and she almost fainted.
