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 rang.
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..."
江紹言艱難地從車裏爬了出來，腿上的劇痛和無力讓他根本就站不起來，“砰”地一聲，江紹言又重重地摔到了地上。
膝蓋的疼痛早就讓他沒有知覺了。
但他現在真的什麽都顧不了了，南嫣在流血，她流了好多好多血……他怎麽都止不住，怎麽辦？到底該怎麽辦？
江紹言的整個情緒都快要崩潰了，他費了好大的力氣才把南嫣從車裏抱了出來，意識也終于清醒了不少，此刻他真的什麽都顧不了了，只能毫無形象的、狼狽不堪的，沖着路人大聲哭喊哀求着，“求你們，叫救護車！快點叫救護車！”
有熱心的路人早就圍過來幫忙了，江紹言說完，又哆哆嗦嗦地将地上的南嫣抱在懷裏，他小心翼翼用外套地捂着她的傷口，可看着根本就止不住地傷口，頓時整個人只覺得天都要塌了，眼淚根本不受控制地往下墜落，“南嫣，你堅持住，救護車馬上就會來了，沒事的，我們都會沒事的……”
而此刻的南嫣似乎也恢複了一些意識，不過這具身體應該也撐不了多久了。
她能感覺到自己的全身都在發冷，緩慢的，似乎身體裏的生命力正在一點一點地流逝。
南嫣下意識地抓緊了他的手掌，像用盡了全身的力氣，掙紮着，聲音沙啞虛弱到極點了，還帶了些許輕顫，
“……電話，我要電話……”
江紹言湊近她的唇邊，聽到聲音，急急忙忙地摸向口袋，可他的手機早在車禍中被撞得粉碎了，于是急得一把抓住了身旁的一個非主流小年輕，“電話，快給我電話……”
非主流被他吓了一跳，差點摔倒，不過看着這人滿身血污，情緒又極度不穩定，便也趕緊老老實實地把電話遞了過去。
南嫣就看向江紹言，嘴唇動了動，艱難地報出了一個號碼，“幫我打給他……”
而在另一邊，鈴聲響起的時候，方婉柔正因為傅清舟今天整個人都不在狀态的事情而有些生悶氣，所以當鈴聲響起的時候，便下意識地從他手中接過了手機。
“清舟，你今天到底怎麽了？“
“怎麽總這麽心不在焉的？”
“看手機的頻率比看我的次數還多，這些亂七八糟的陌生來電就不要在意了好嗎？肯定又是之前婚禮設計的推銷……”
她看了眼來電顯示，幾乎沒怎麽猶豫的就直接挂斷了。
而傅清舟則是下意識地皺了眉，他也不知為何，心裏總有種很不安的感覺，讓他整個人都靜不下心來。
不過聽到方婉柔的話，又看到她的情緒不太好，便勉強壓抑住了內心的煩躁，語氣正常的回複了句，“沒什麽，可能是今天人太多了，有些不習慣，你先把手機給我吧。”
方婉柔則是把手機往身後一藏，然後擡頭，笑着哄道，“那可不行，我也知道你今天不适應，可這畢竟是我們的婚禮嘛。清舟，結婚是每個女孩子一生中最重要的時刻了，你也不想總被這些亂七八糟的電話打擾吧？反正我不管，手機我就先保管了，你先出去招待客人，剛剛都有人說你怎麽比我這個新娘子還稀罕了，想見上一面都那麽難……”
話音剛落，傅清舟就被幾個認識的朋友一起起哄着拽了出去，甚至沒給他機會反抗。
而在另一邊，電話怎麽都打不通的江紹言看着南嫣的眼睛從一開始的微微光亮到後來的灰暗，整個人突然變得有些絕望，
為什麽不接電話？快接啊！求求你了，快點接電話啊！
江紹言手指顫抖着反複重撥了好幾次，可到最後，對面也不知道是不是不耐煩了，居然直接将手機關機了……
那一刻，江紹言心尖猛地顫抖了一下，甚至不敢擡頭，他很怕看到南嫣失望的眼神，前所未有的害怕。
“算了，別打了……”
南嫣的眼淚終于忍不住從眼眶中滑落了，似乎心頭的悲傷再也壓抑不住了，有無力也有失落。
她伸手按住江紹言因為過度用力而有些發抖的手，“真可惜，原本，還想最後一次……再聽聽他聲音的，可惜聽不到了……”
“你幫我……告訴他，其實那天，我是很認真的，除了一開始是騙他的，我後來……後來都是真心的……”
江紹言握着她的手，緊緊貼在自己的臉上，聽到她說的那些話，更是忙不疊地答應了，“好、好，我幫你告訴他，我一定幫你告訴他，你先別說話了，救護車馬上就來了，到時候你一定會沒事的……”
南嫣像是根本沒聽清他說的話，還沉浸在自己的思緒中。
她說完後又有些後悔，想了想，又在他懷裏輕輕搖了搖頭，“不，還是別說了，我不想他難過……”
“我知道，他其實……是個很膽小，又很沒有安全感的人，被騙一次，就再不肯相信別人……第二次了。”
“他都要結婚了，這麽好的日子，我不想，他再因為我的事情傷心，所以，你還是別告訴他了吧……”
江紹言用力點着頭，小心翼翼地托着她的臉，“好、我答應你，只要你堅持住，怎麽樣都可以……”
南嫣突然咳嗽了起來，連嘴角都冒出了血氣，聲音也變得愈發虛弱了，“我真的不是故意騙他的……”
她努力說出這幾句話，身體又因為劇痛而不受控制地顫抖起來，眼淚一顆一顆落下，她用力抓緊了江紹言的手指。
直直看他，眼裏流露出最後一絲不甘，
“你問他，為什麽不接電話？”
“為什麽……都不肯聽我的解釋？”
“兩個月裏，我都在等他的，我一直在等他來的，我明明……已經很努力地在向他靠近了，為什麽，就不能……再信我一次呢？”
江紹言聽着，只覺得心口宛如刀絞，疼得他快要窒息了，他用力握着她的手指，眼淚全打在她臉上，“不會的！你不會有事的，嫣嫣，你堅持住，堅持住好不好？我幫你去找他，我現在就帶他來見你！我不會讓他跟婉柔結婚的，我讓他跟你在一起，只要你好好的，只要你堅持住，以後你想怎麽樣都可以，我什麽都不要了！什麽都不介意了！嫣嫣，你聽見了嗎？別有事，我求求你千萬別有事好嗎？”
他抱着她的力道越來越緊，緊的像抓住了自己的最後一根救命稻草，好像這樣就能夠永遠留住她一樣。
而南嫣聽到這番話，眼中仿佛又有了些期許的光。
她嘴角彎了彎，忽然朝他露出很淺很淺的一絲微笑，“那你看我……我今天漂亮嗎？”
江紹言瘋狂點着頭，眼淚像斷了線，“漂亮、漂亮的……”
可她現在渾身都是血，裙子原本的顏色早都已經看不清了，臉上身上全是血污，別說漂亮了，連個人形都看不出來了，可江紹言已經快瘋了，不管她說什麽都是同意的。
聽到這話，南嫣登時就滿意了。
她腦袋有些無力地靠在他的胸口，聲音忽然變得很輕很輕，“漂亮就好，其實我今天是要去當伴……不對，我是要當新娘子的，他說好了，以後要讓我穿很漂亮的婚紗的……”
說完這句話，南嫣整個人忽然宛若脫力了一般，緩緩松開了江紹言的手，然後徹底失去了意識。
而江紹言的心中好似也破了個大洞。
他用力抓着她的手指，這一刻，真的害怕到連心跳都快要停了，大聲哭喊着，
“救護車，醫生，求求你們，快點叫救護車啊……”
“嫣嫣，你堅持住，我求你堅持住好嗎？”
“傅清舟他馬上就來了，真的馬上就來了，我讓他來見你了。”
他哀求着，“我求你了，別有事好嗎？”
……
而另一邊的婚禮現場上。
傅清舟看着桌子上堆得滿滿的白玫瑰，不自覺就想到了南嫣。
他記得她好像說過，她最喜歡百合花了，還說結婚的時候一定要用百合花作為手捧花，寓意着百年好合……
想着想着，傅清舟下意識地就抽了支桌上的玫瑰，結果一不小心，就被花刺紮了個正着，食指頓時冒出幾滴血珠來。
傅清舟原本也沒當回兒事。
也不知道是不是十指連心的緣故？
傅清舟看着那道微小的、幾乎都看不見的小傷口，突然有種鑽心的疼。
是那種密密麻麻的，疼得他心髒有如針紮，好像要喘不過氣似的，怎麽樣都停止不了了，甚至連眼淚都快冒出來了。
