Chapter 85 [VIP] Best Friend's Shield (23)
A relieved, slightly warm smile suddenly appeared on her face, her eyebrows curved like two faint crescents, just like the expression she had in front of the window that night.
Fu Qingzhou seemed to be suppressing an unspeakable impulse in his heart, as if something was about to burst out.
He tried to grab her hand and ask her something else. What was the purpose of her coming here today? And was she sincere about what she said tonight? What did she want from him?
But this time, the other party turned away before he could reach out his hand. She took a step back and smiled at him.
"We'll see you tomorrow."
Fu Qingzhou's heart suddenly tightened.
After she finished speaking, she waved at him, then held the small bag in her hand tightly against her chest, turned around and left without looking back.
Fu Qingzhou opened his mouth but said nothing to keep her. He just watched her walk away until her frail figure completely disappeared into the night.
He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt uneasy as if he would never see her again.
Did he do something wrong?
Why does he feel so empty inside? It's like he lost something very precious. But didn't she say it was just a joke?
The wedding the next day was very lively. The Fang family was a well-known family in the city. The Fu family was also famous in the past, but now they were more famous for the news that the Fu family went bankrupt overnight. Most of the people who came to the wedding were friends. Some people sighed that the Fang family was loyal and righteous. Even though the Fu family was in trouble, they were still willing to marry their daughter to a poor boy who had nothing! Some people also knew some inside information, saying that Fang Wanrou had a physical defect due to a car accident, so she had no choice but to rely on this ex-boyfriend who had already broken up...
In short, there were quite a few people who came to participate in this wedding, and quite a few came to help, and Nan Yan was among them.
She came very early today. As a bridesmaid at the wedding, she was one of the first people to go with Fang Wanrou to do her makeup. Fang Wanrou also specially picked out a very beautiful bridesmaid dress for her, a light champagne-colored silk long dress, which was soft and clean.
When Fu Qingzhou opened the door, what caught his eye was her slender and faint figure, with her silk skirt hanging down to her ankles. She stood quietly next to the mirror, as if he could touch her with just a stretch of his hand.
She turned around and saw him, with a look of surprise on her face, then she smiled calmly and sweetly, and asked him, "Look, isn't it beautiful?"
Fu Qingzhou's breathing paused slightly.
I don't know what he was thinking of, but he subconsciously looked away and said calmly, "It looks good."
His eyes slowly fell on the bride beside him.
Fang Wanrou couldn't help but smile when she heard this. Her face was filled with visible happiness. She stroked the hem of her wedding dress with her fingers, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes. "You made the right choice. You said this wedding dress suits me."
"However, it's a pity that the one inlaid with rhinestones is gone. Now that I think about it, I would have looked more beautiful in that one. Forget it, I can't think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more regrettable it is. As expected, when it comes to choosing a wedding dress, women are often the most greedy..."
As she spoke, a somewhat satisfied smile appeared on her face again, one hand was resting on the dressing table, a few strands of black hair were scattered in front of her forehead, and her eyes seemed to be filled with infinite tenderness.
Fu Qingzhou forced a smile and was about to change the subject.
Just at this moment, the phone in my pocket.
Fu Qingzhou turned around to answer the phone. After hearing what the other party said, his expression didn't seem to change. He just replied softly, "Okay, I'll come get it now."
He seemed a little anxious when he said that, which made Fang Wanrou curious, so she asked casually, "What's wrong, do you have something to go out for?"
Fu Qingzhou said "hmm" to her, and replied in a light tone, "It's not a big deal. The wedding ring you requested has been made, but the employee who delivered the ring has something at home and can't come, so someone needs to pick it up. I'll go over now, don't worry."
As he was about to leave, Fang Wanrou grabbed his wrist and said, "Hey, wait a minute..."
She glanced at her phone, and a look of embarrassment appeared on her face. It was already late, and there were still many things that needed to be handled by the groom at the wedding. If he was not here at the moment, it would be very troublesome for her to handle it alone. "But it's already late, is it too late for you to go alone? Otherwise, you should ask someone to send it over."
Fu Qingzhou exhaled lightly and smiled at her soothingly, "Why would you be too late? It's not a very troublesome matter. I'll be back soon after I go."
"But the guests have already..."
Before Fang Wanrou finished her words, Nan Yan suddenly spoke up. She smiled at the two of them and said, "Why don't you let me go? One of you is the groom and the other is the bride. The wedding can't be without you two protagonists, so let me go and get it."
Fu Qingzhou frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed his brows, and said almost subconsciously, "Then I'll go with you."
As soon as he said this, the force that was originally holding his wrist suddenly increased a lot. Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to realize something, and quickly refused with a smile, "No, it's not a big deal, I can go alone. If you are really worried and afraid that I will delay the time, I will find someone else to go with me..."
"I'll go with you."
Before she finished her words, she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the door.
Several people looked up at the same time and saw Jiang Shaoyan standing at the door staring at them, or more specifically, at Nan Yan. He walked closer, moved his lips, and spoke in a gentle tone as if begging, "Let me accompany you, okay?"
Nan Yan was worried about having no one to help her. When she heard him say this, she nodded in agreement subconsciously. She smiled at Fu Qingzhou and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about it now. I'll be back soon."
Fu Qingzhou said nothing and just watched the two of them leave together. He vaguely felt a little itchy in his throat. For some unknown reason, he suddenly had the urge to call her. He didn't even know why this happened.
…
This was the first time the two had been so close to each other since their last meeting in the hospital.
Jiang Shaoyan even felt a little nervous for a moment. He tried hard to ignore the strange feeling in his heart. He had been silent since he got on the car, for fear of breaking this rare tranquility. He just stared at people in a daze.
He was actually a little afraid that she would not be able to bear the shock and would do something impulsive on the wedding day, so he kept an eye on her all the time.
He knew that it was his selfishness that led to everything that happened today. If he hadn't interfered, the bride at the wedding should have been hers, and she could have been very happy with Fu Qingzhou, and she wouldn't have to endure the pain she was experiencing now.
Instead of being like this now...
Jiang Shaoyan was suddenly filled with an unprecedented sense of guilt and remorse. During this period of time, he had brought her too much pain.
He was so selfish that even he himself hated and despised him. He was already extremely lucky that she didn't hate him. How could he dare to expect her forgiveness?
He is really uneasy now.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly along the way. Nan Yan seemed to be in a very calm mood. When she got the ring, she even smiled. Her eyes lingered on the beautifully packaged jewelry box, with a hint of envy and relief flashing in her eyes.
"Why have you been staring at me? You've been like this since we came out. What? Are you afraid that I'll do something bad?" Nan Yan looked at Jiang Shaoyan beside her. His eyes had never left her since he got in the car. She couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Shaoyan then looked away uncomfortably. He lowered his head, his eyes fell on the ring box in her hand again, and suddenly said softly, "I'm sorry..."
Hearing this, Nan Yan seemed stunned for a few seconds.
But she soon understood what he meant. A trace of sadness flashed across her eyes, but she finally calmed down and said slowly, "Forget it. I don't blame you anymore."
She let out a long sigh, as if she had finally accepted her fate.
She rubbed her fingers lightly on the ring box and smiled gently, "After they get married, I will leave here and go to a very far place. I may never come back..."
However, before he could finish his words, the car was violently overturned by a car that suddenly rushed out from the intersection.
"careful!"
Nan Yan almost threw herself on him subconsciously. Under the violent impact, Jiang Shaoyan had no time to react. He only heard a sudden loud "buzzing" sound in his head, followed by a dizzy feeling.
The car the two were in was hit and rolled over twice on the ground, and finally rushed towards the guardrail. The huge impact force almost broke the guardrail, and sparks were flying from the front of the car.
It hurts...
This was the only feeling left in Jiang Shaoyan's mind.
At that moment, he felt as if all the bones in his body were crushed and reassembled with great force. The intense pain made his brain clear for a moment.
"Nan Yan..."
He called out her name in pain, but heard no response. He lowered his head subconsciously. The warm, unconscious body in his arms suddenly made him so scared that he trembled all over.
My eyes turned red almost instantly.
Jiang Shaoyan hugged her tightly while trembling, "Don't be afraid, Nanyan, Yanyan, it's okay...it's okay, it will be okay...I'll find someone to save you! I'll...find someone to save you right away..."
Jiang Shaoyan climbed out of the car with great difficulty. The severe pain in his legs and the weakness made it impossible for him to stand up. With a "bang", Jiang Shaoyan fell heavily to the ground again.
The pain in his knee had long since made him numb.
But he really couldn't care less now. Nan Yan was bleeding. She was bleeding a lot... He couldn't stop it. What should he do? What should he do?
Jiang Shaoyan was about to collapse emotionally. He took great effort to carry Nan Yan out of the car. He finally regained consciousness. At this moment, he really couldn't care about anything else. He could only cry and beg passers-by in a humiliating and miserable manner, "Please, call an ambulance! Call an ambulance quickly!"
Enthusiastic passers-by had already come over to help. Jiang Shaoyan, trembling, held Nan Yan in his arms. He carefully covered her wound with his coat, but seeing the wound that couldn't be stopped, he felt as if the sky was falling and his tears fell uncontrollably. "Nan Yan, hold on, the ambulance will be here soon. It's okay, we'll all be fine..."
At this moment, Nan Yan seemed to have regained some consciousness, but this body probably wouldn't last much longer.
She could feel her whole body getting cold, slowly, as if the vitality in her body was slipping away bit by bit.
Nan Yan subconsciously grasped his hand tightly, struggling as if she had used up all her strength, her voice was extremely hoarse and weak, and even trembled a little.
"...Phone, I need a phone..."
Jiang Shaoyan moved closer to her lips. Hearing the voice, he hurriedly reached for his pocket, but his cell phone had been smashed to pieces in the car accident. So he hurriedly grabbed a non-mainstream young man next to him and said, "Phone, give me the phone quickly..."
The non-mainstream was startled by him and almost fell down, but seeing that the man was covered in blood and his emotions were extremely unstable, he quickly handed the phone over obediently.
Nan Yan looked at Jiang Shaoyan, moved her lips, and gave a number with difficulty, "Call him for me..."
On the other side, when the phone rang, Fang Wanrou was feeling sulky because Fu Qingzhou was not in good shape today, so when the phone rang, she subconsciously took the phone from him.
"Qingzhou, what happened to you today?"
"Why are you always so absent-minded?"
"You check your phone more often than you check me. Can you please ignore these random calls from strangers? They must be promoting your wedding designs again..."
She glanced at the caller ID and hung up without much hesitation.
Fu Qingzhou frowned subconsciously. He didn't know why, but he always felt uneasy in his heart, which made him unable to calm down.
But after hearing what Fang Wanrou said and seeing that she was in a bad mood, he suppressed his inner irritation and replied in a normal tone, "It's nothing. Maybe there are too many people here today and I'm not used to it. Please give me your phone first."
Fang Wanrou hid her phone behind her, then looked up and coaxed with a smile, "That won't do. I know you're not feeling well today, but this is our wedding after all. Qingzhou, marriage is the most important moment in every girl's life. You don't want to be bothered by these random calls all the time, do you? Anyway, I don't care. I'll keep the phone. You go out and entertain the guests. Just now, someone said that you're more precious than me, the bride, and it's so hard to see you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Qingzhou was dragged out by several of his acquaintances, without even giving him a chance to resist.
On the other side, Jiang Shaoyan, who couldn't get through on the phone, looked at Nan Yan's eyes, which went from slightly bright at first to dim later. He suddenly became a little desperate.
Why don't you answer the phone? Please answer it! Please, answer the phone!
Jiang Shaoyan's fingers trembled as he repeatedly called the number, but in the end, the other party, perhaps out of patience, simply turned off the phone...
At that moment, Jiang Shaoyan's heart trembled violently, and he didn't even dare to raise his head. He was afraid to see Nan Yan's disappointed eyes and was more scared than ever before.
"Forget it, stop fighting..."
Nan Yan couldn't hold back her tears anymore and they fell from her eyes. It seemed that she couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart any more. She felt powerless and lost.
She reached out and held Jiang Shaoyan's hand, which was shaking from exerting too much force. "What a pity! Originally, I wanted to hear his voice one last time... but unfortunately I can't hear it anymore..."
"Please help me...tell him that I was actually very serious that day. Except for the fact that I lied to him at the beginning, I was...sincere later on..."
Jiang Shaoyan held her hand and pressed it tightly against his face. After hearing what she said, he agreed without hesitation, "Okay, okay, I'll tell him for you. I will definitely tell him for you. Don't say anything yet. The ambulance will be here soon. You will be fine by then..."
Nan Yan seemed not to have heard what he said at all and was still immersed in her own thoughts.
After she finished speaking, she felt a little regretful. After thinking for a while, she shook her head gently in his arms, "No, let's not talk about it. I don't want him to be sad..."
"I know that he is actually... a very timid and insecure person. After being deceived once, he will never trust others... a second time."
"He's getting married soon. It's such a good day. I don't want him to be sad because of me. So, you better not tell him..."
Jiang Shaoyan nodded vigorously and held her face carefully, "Okay, I promise you, as long as you hold on, anything is fine..."
Nan Yan suddenly started coughing, blood came out of the corners of her mouth, and her voice became weaker and weaker, "I really didn't mean to lie to him..."
She struggled to say these few words, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably due to the severe pain. Tears fell one by one, and she tightly grasped Jiang Shaoyan's fingers.
She stared at him, her eyes revealing the last bit of reluctance.
"Ask him why he didn't answer the phone?"
"Why... don't you want to listen to my explanation?"
"For two months, I have been waiting for him. I have been waiting for him to come. I have clearly... tried very hard to get closer to him. Why can't you... trust me again?"
Jiang Shaoyan listened, and felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, the pain was so severe that he was almost suffocated. He held her fingers tightly, and his tears fell on her face. "No! You will be fine, Yanyan, hold on, hold on, okay? I will help you find him, I will bring him to see you now! I will not let him marry Wanrou, I will let him be with you, as long as you are fine, as long as you hold on, you can do whatever you want in the future, I don't want anything! I don't mind anything! Yanyan, did you hear me? Don't be in any trouble, I beg you, please don't be in any trouble, okay?"
He held her tighter and tighter, as if he was grabbing his last life-saving straw, as if this could keep her forever.
When Nan Yan heard these words, there seemed to be some hope in her eyes again.
The corners of her mouth curved up, and she suddenly gave him a very faint smile, "Look at me... Am I pretty today?"
Jiang Shaoyan nodded frantically, tears streaming down his face, "Beautiful, beautiful..."
But now she was covered in blood, the original color of her skirt was no longer visible, her face and body were all covered in blood, she was no longer pretty, she couldn't even look like a human being. But Jiang Shaoyan was almost crazy, and he agreed to whatever she said.
Hearing this, Nan Yan was immediately satisfied.
She leaned her head weakly against his chest, and her voice suddenly became very soft, "As long as she's pretty, it's fine. Actually, I'm going to be the bride today... No, I'm going to be the bride. He said that he wants me to wear a very beautiful wedding dress in the future..."
After saying this, Nan Yan suddenly seemed to have lost her strength. She slowly let go of Jiang Shaoyan's hand and completely lost consciousness.
And there seemed to be a big hole in Jiang Shaoyan's heart.
He held her fingers tightly. At that moment, he was so scared that his heart almost stopped beating. He cried out loudly.
"Ambulance, doctor, please, call an ambulance quickly..."
"Yan Yan, please hold on, I beg you to hold on, okay?"
"Fu Qingzhou will be here soon. Really soon. I asked him to come and see you."
He begged, "Please, please don't get into any trouble, okay?"
…
On the other side was the wedding scene.
Fu Qingzhou looked at the table piled high with white roses and thought of Nan Yan unconsciously.
He remembered that she seemed to have said that she liked lilies the most, and that she must use lilies as the bouquet at the wedding, symbolizing a long-lasting and happy marriage...
As he was thinking, Fu Qingzhou subconsciously pulled out a rose from the table, but he was accidentally pricked by the thorns, and a few drops of blood immediately appeared on his index finger.
Fu Qingzhou didn't take it seriously at first.
I don’t know if it’s because our fingers are connected to our hearts?
Fu Qingzhou looked at the tiny, almost invisible wound and suddenly felt a piercing pain in his heart.
It was a dense, piercing pain that felt like needles stabbing his heart. He felt like he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't stop it no matter what. He even felt like tears were about to come out.
