Chapter 67 You're Getting Married, But I'm Not the Groom~
Chapter 67 You're Getting Married, But I'm Not the Groom~
The journey from Du'an back to Jiangdu is several hundred kilometers.
After leaving Du'an, the rain stopped and the weather gradually cleared up.
Since they weren't in a hurry, the group decided to walk and play along the way.
Experience the local customs and delicious food of different regions.
Eat what you want, drink what you want, and don't worry about the cost. The main point is to do whatever you want, and that's the meaning of achieving financial freedom.
Life is not just about the present hardships, but also about poetry and distant places.
But the road to poetry and distant places requires a ticket, and tickets require money.
Looking at Jiang Xiyan and Feng Yingying, who were brimming with youthful energy, and hearing their laughter, Xu Anxin felt a sense of realization: this was life after achieving financial freedom.
Looking back a year ago, Xu An, who used to ride his electric scooter every day under the sun and wind, could never have imagined such a life now.
Money really is a good thing; no wonder everyone looks to money.
Zhang Su looked at Xu An beside Jiang Xiyan, and at the smiles on their faces, his heart filled with bitterness.
Originally, that position belonged to Xu An.
But everything changed after I went to Du'an.
This not only put Jiang Xiyan in danger, but also almost prevented her from returning.
They even "lost" her.
If God were to grant him a second chance at life, he would definitely not go to Du'an!
Looking at the three of them, Zhang Su felt like an outsider. Things shouldn't have turned out this way. Why did things end up like this?
Perhaps, things subtly changed the moment Xu An risked his life to go down and find Jiang Xiyan.
If time could go back to that day, would I dare to risk my life to find Jiang Xiyan?
Zhang Su asked himself this question repeatedly on countless nights.
The final answer was the same: no.
Xu An was fearless like a newborn calf, but he was different. He had been exposed to cave diving for a long time and knew better that if he recklessly dived down to find Jiang Xiyan in that environment, he might end up getting himself killed.
Ultimately, he was afraid of dying.
He wasn't in love with Jiang Xiyan to the point where he would give up his own life.
Of course, you can't blame him for that.
It's human nature to fear death.
In this day and age, how many people are willing to pay the price of their lives for the girl they love?
Not to mention that they weren't even dating, let alone married.
Besides, these days, some marital relationships are not even as good as financial relationships.
It's not uncommon for married women to sue their husbands for rape...
We traveled along the way, stopping frequently to eat, drink, and have fun.
It was four days later when we arrived in Jiangdu.
Upon arriving in Jiangdu, Feng Yingying got into Zhang Su's car.
"tide Yan, Xu An, bye-bye, let's play together again next time." Feng Yingying waved to the two of them from the back row.
Crystal Fung is very perceptive; this is not the time for her to be a third wheel.
"Yingying, bye-bye." Jiang Xiyan waved with a smile.
"Bye-bye." Xu An waved.
Before leaving, Feng Yingying gave Jiang Xiyan a look, clenched her fist, and made a gesture of encouragement.
Jiang Xiyan wasn't shy at all; instead, she smiled and made a cheering gesture as well.
I watched as the Panamera drove away.
Xu An looked away: "Where do you live? Send me your location, and I'll take you home first."
"I'm hungry." Jiang Xiyan turned to look at Xu An, blinking her big eyes. "Let's go eat first, okay?"
Under her expectant gaze, Xu An couldn't hold out for more than three seconds before nodding in agreement.
"Hehe." She immediately beamed, "I know a really good private restaurant, I'll give you directions..."
While Xu An and Jiang Xiyan were preparing to have dinner.
Inside the Panamera.
Zhang Su drove silently.
Sitting in the back, Feng Yingying looked at Zhang Su's expressionless face through the rearview mirror.
"Hey, Zhang Su," Feng Yingying suddenly said.
"What?" Zhang Su replied.
"I know you like Xiyan, but it seems that Xiyan has fallen for Xu An. What are your thoughts on this?" Feng Yingying asked directly, pressing her face against him.
Zhang Su tightened his grip on the steering wheel and gritted his teeth.
"I don't have any thoughts," he replied curtly.
Seeing his expression, Feng Yingying wasn't annoyed. "I didn't mean to discourage you. As a friend, I felt I should give you appropriate advice at the right time."
"When everyone had pronounced tide Yan dead, it was Xu An who risked his life to rescue her from the underwater cave."
"I can't imagine the despair Xiyan felt alone in the underwater cave, with her gas cylinder empty, the carbon dioxide concentration in the chamber gradually increasing, making breathing difficult, that kind of despair where she could only watch helplessly as death approached..."
"However, when I was waiting for death in despair, Xu An appeared."
"I can even imagine how surprised Xiyan must have been. Xu An was like a ray of light, piercing through the darkness of despair and pulling Xiyan back from the brink of death."
At this point, Feng Yingying paused.
"You're not a girl, so you don't understand how girls think."
"Xu An is handsome, rich, and has a good personality. Not to mention, he saved tide Yan from the brink of death."
"Let alone Xiyan, if it were me, I would fall in love with him too."
"The story of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress has been a legend since ancient times."
"Zhang Su, you didn't lose unjustly."
That last sentence completely shattered the last shred of strength that remained in Zhang Su's heart.
He parked the car on the side of the road, and when he turned around, Feng Yingying was startled by his appearance.
Beneath the mask of pain, tears streamed down her face.
"Waaaaah!"
"I regret it, I regret it so much!"
"If I hadn't taken Xiyan to Du'an, and hadn't gone diving, things wouldn't have turned out this way, wow!"
Zhang Su burst into tears, like a child whose favorite toy had been taken away.
Feng Yingying was immediately at a loss and quickly comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry, please stop crying."
"Xu An saved tide Yan, that's an undeniable fact. I can already imagine Xi Yan's determination to marry no one but Xu An. You really didn't lose unfairly."
Upon hearing these words of comfort, Zhang Su paused, and his crying stopped.
I can almost picture the two of them standing in the wedding hall, and I can almost hear them saying: "You're getting married, but the groom isn't me."
Thinking of this, he cried even louder, his sobs were so heart-wrenching that they brought tears to the eyes of anyone who heard them.
No matter how much Feng Yingying tried to comfort and persuade him, she couldn't stop Zhang Su from crying.
This gave her a real headache, so she could only helplessly sit in the car with him and let him cry his heart out.
Until someone knocked on the car window.
The car window rolled down, and the traffic police officer in uniform was startled when he saw Zhang Su, who was in tears.
I was originally going to issue a ticket for the traffic violation, but seeing how heartbroken the person was, I changed my story.
"Excuse me, comrade, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Su, who had almost finished crying, once again saw Jiang Xiyan with her arm around Xu An's, a bright smile on her face.
A voice whispers in my ear: You're getting married, but the groom isn't me~
"Wow!"
He burst into tears again.
This completely baffled the traffic police.
Feng Yingying, sitting in the back, was so embarrassed that she clenched her toes. She quickly said, "Excuse me, officer, my friend is heartbroken from unrequited love. I'll drive away right away."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Su cried even harder, like a river bursting its banks that could not be stopped.
Feng Yingying quickly opened the car door, pulled the wailing Zhang Su to the back seat, and got into the driver's seat herself.
"Sorry for the trouble, officer. We'll be on our way now."
The traffic police stood still and watched the Panamera drive away.
"Is it possible to have unrequited love while driving a luxury car like a Panamera?"
"And I've also broken up with my boyfriend."
He muttered to himself, feeling as if he had forgotten something important.
