Jiang Chao spat at him, then rushed over and pinned him down, "Take him to the bathroom!"
Just as Li Sinian was about to make a move, his cell phone suddenly rang.
"Who sent me this message..." he muttered coldly, "Boss, hold him down first! Wait for me."
Li Sinian glanced down at his phone, then suddenly froze.
Sun Ruoxi: I'm at the entrance of your residential complex. Could you come out for a moment? I have something I want to tell you.
The group of grown men looked at the message and exchanged bewildered glances.
......
Twenty minutes later, a black Mercedes pulled up on the side of the road.
Li Sinian got out of the car first, jogging around as he looked around. The cold wind blew into his nostrils with each breath, even causing a slight stinging sensation.
He didn't care about anything else and kept searching everywhere.
Whether she wanted to see him or was planning to seriously break up with him, she couldn't let Sun Ruoxi, a girl, stand alone outside.
It was only a little past four in the morning, and everything was pitch black and the night was exceptionally quiet.
There were no vehicles on the road, only streetlights casting a pale and lonely light.
Suddenly, Li Sinian spotted a familiar figure under a streetlamp in the distance.
The short-haired girl was wearing a light pink cardigan pajama set, carrying only a small women's crossbody bag, and wearing slippers. The whole outfit looked completely out of place.
The April night was still quite cold. The girl's ears and toes were all red from the cold. She was hugging her arms tightly and shivering alone under the streetlight.
Before Li Sinian could even react, he had already run up to Sun Ruoxi, instinctively taking off his coat and draping it over her shoulders.
"Why are you here?" Li Sinian realized it was too late, so he could only pretend nothing had happened and ask as calmly as possible.
As soon as he took off his coat, the cold night wind immediately seeped into his body, as if it were everywhere.
His heart was pounding, whether from the cold or the pain in his heart, he didn't know.
"Thinking of the past..."
After a moment of silence, the girl slowly spoke, her voice trembling from the cold.
Sun Ruoxi raised her right hand, then lowered it again, finally gripping the hem of his clothes tightly, her eyes red-rimmed, and said:
"I...we'll get our marriage certificate at daybreak, and then you'll elope with me, okay?"
"...Are you serious?"
Li Sinian suddenly felt a little dazed, wondering if he had already fallen asleep on the hotel sofa and that what he was experiencing now was just a dream—
Just like he'd dreamed about countless times over the past few months.
He could no longer remember how many times he had dreamed of this scene, how many times he had woken up to find it all gone, and how many times he had spent a sleepless night.
"Of course I'm serious! I didn't even change my clothes!"
Sun Ruoxi suddenly shouted twice, then began to sob pitifully, "I sneaked out while Mom was sleeping... Si Nian, I have nothing left, please take me with you?"
Seeing his beloved girl crying in front of him, Li Sinian's eyes welled up with tears, and he silently hugged her into his arms.
After a long while, he remembered that he was supposed to be Chen Lu's best man today.
On his best friend's wedding day, he eloped with his girlfriend...
Just as I was at a loss, I heard a clear and gentle male voice coming from behind me.
"Hurry up and get going. I have so many groomsmen, I don't need another one."
Turning around, I saw Chen Lu with a faint smile on his face. Jiang Chao, who was running slowly, was panting behind him.
“Brother Lu…” Li Sinian murmured.
Chen Lu suddenly couldn't help but laugh. He never expected that Liang Zhirou, that simpleton, would one day offer advice to others.
These two are amazing – one dares to teach and the other dares to listen.
Jiang Chao didn't say anything, but walked straight up to Li Sinian, panting heavily as he pulled out a bank card and stuffed it into the hand of the stunned Li Sinian.
“This is my secret stash of money, buddy. This is all I have. Take it and spend it... Don’t worry about her mom calling the police. This isn’t illegal, and besides, I’m here for you.”
"Trash." Chen Lu sneered at Jiang Chao, then said to Li Sinian, "I still have some, feel free to borrow if you need more. Don't stay in Hangzhou... Go to whichever city you like, just don't come back."
Li Sinian wanted to take a closer look at the two people's faces, and then take a good look at his friends who had spent years with him, but no matter how he looked at them, they were all blurry. Only then did he remember to reach out and wipe away his tears.
"Stop crying, hurry up and leave."
Chen Lu pushed him twice impatiently.
With the wedding procession fast approaching, there was no way he and Jiang Chao could wait for Li Sinian to finish packing before taking him to the station or airport.
This is the last time we'll see each other, perhaps the last time in who knows how many years.
So Chen Lu watched as the two of them, hand in hand, ran further and further away into the night.
The sounds of panting and footsteps were clearly audible at first, but gradually disappeared as the two ran further and further away.
"Have a daughter before you come back!"
Jiang Chao suddenly waved his hand and shouted.
"Run faster!" Chen Lu joined in.
Damn it, the best man eloped on the wedding day...
Chen Lu laughed again.
He'll remember this for the rest of his life.
