Xiaochuan took Qin Nan to greet Qin Bei and Xiaoqing. Qinnan saw Xiaoqing holding Qin Bei's arm naturally from a distance. He hesitated for a moment, then followed Xiaochuan and walked over to them.
When he came forward, he deliberately put his hand on Xiaochuan's arm. Xiaochuan then bent his arm cooperatively and let Qin Nan hold his arm.
"Brother, sister, why are you here?" Xiaoqing greeted Qin Nan warmly before she even arrived. She didn't treat Qin Nan as an outsider at all, and she looked like she was already the daughter-in-law of Qin's parents.
"Sister Xiaoqing, congratulations." Qin Nan said to Xiaoqing generously, without looking at Qin Bei's expression at all.
"Thank you, when will the good things happen for you two, how about we do it together." Xiaoqing said excitedly to Xiaochuan and Qin Nan. It seems that the Wu family has long regarded Qin Nan as their prospective daughter-in-law.
Xiaochuan looked at Qin Nan. Qin Nan was a little overwhelmed and looked embarrassed.
"Then it depends on when your sister-in-law is willing to marry me." Xiaochuan said and looked at Qin Bei, "Junior, do you know that you have to treat my sister well? If she is bullied, I will not agree.
"
Qin Bei smiled and finally said: "Senior, don't you know her well? I'm lucky she doesn't bully me. How could it be my turn to bully her?" When Xiaoqing heard this, she gently hit Qin Bei with her hand.
After a while, he said angrily: "That makes me look like a shrew." But his face was indeed filled with happiness.
Qin Nan's heart felt like a five-flavor bottle had been knocked over. She was probably the most unhappy person at this celebration, but she still had to keep a smile on her face. Qin Bei was standing beside her, but he couldn't see it.
Squinting, not even looking at her, treating her like air, Xiaoqing is flaunting her happiness without any reservation, and what's wrong with being high-profile? If happiness comes from the sincerity, isn't it okay?
Showy?
I was alone, looking at the smiling faces, and suddenly felt that it was very unreal. Do everyone's smiles come from the sincerity? Thinking like this, the stiff smile on his face gradually faded, and his lonely look was gradually revealed. Qin on the side
Bei glanced at her, turned to Xiaoqing and said, "Let's go over there and greet the guests." Xiaoqing nodded, and the four of them separated. Qin Nan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The engagement ceremony was very simple. Because she was from the north, the procedures were not as complicated as those in the south. It was also the first time for Qin Nan to participate. She only wanted to end it as soon as possible, so she didn't know much about the process. It was only when the two parties exchanged rings.
Her heart felt like it had been stabbed inexplicably. If two people wear the same ring, does it mean that they will only belong to each other forever? What about herself? Will she really be a stranger from now on?
Below is the groom-to-be kissing the bride-to-be. Qin Bei kissed Xiao Qing's forehead. Qin Nan turned his gaze elsewhere and resisted tears from flowing out. Xiaochuan, who was sitting next to him, thoughtfully hugged her shoulders.
, he was also a little uncomfortable that his sister was getting married. He thought he could understand Qin Nan's feelings, which was a natural feeling that his sister had for his brother.
The dinner was uneventful. The four members of the Qin family and the four members of the Wu family sat at the same table. Qin Nan and Xiaochuan happened to sit directly opposite the newlyweds. Qin Nan could see Qin Bei as soon as he raised his head.
So she kept her head down as much as possible, eating in silence, listening to the two parents' comments about the four of them, looking forward to the end of the day soon, while Xiaochuan kept serving her dishes, being careful enough to pick the fish bones first.
Come out and put the fish meat on the small plate in front of her.
Seeing that Qin Bei and Xiaoqing were determined to have a big deal, the four parents began to focus on Xiaochuan and Qin Nan. They began to discuss life-long matters in front of them. Qin Nan could not wait to bury his head in front of him.
Qin Bei drank one cup after another without talking much. By the time everyone noticed him, he had already drank a lot.
Xiao Qing couldn't see it and whispered to him to drink less. Qin Bei turned a deaf ear to it and continued to drink on his own. This was the first time Qin Nan had seen him drink so much and couldn't help but worry about him.
I don't know whether he was because he was happy or because of something else. Although he kept smiling, he didn't look happy. At the end, Qin Bei had difficulty even walking normally.
After placing Qin Bei on his own bed, Yuan Jingshu sighed. At this time, Qin Bei asked for water. Qin Nan, who was standing aside, said to Yuan Jingshu: "It's very late. Mom, please go downstairs and rest first."
, I’ll just take care of my brother.”
Yuan Jingshu looked at Qin Bei and nodded, so Qin Nan sent her downstairs and went to the kitchen to prepare honey water for Qin Bei to relieve his hangover.
When he came back, he saw Qin Bei tearing the tie and shirt tied around his neck. Qin Nan hurriedly stepped forward to help him take off his tie and unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt. Qin Bei was still shouting for water.
Qin Nan brought the honey water, supported his back hard and fed him to drink. When he stood up and was about to give the cup, Qin Bei grabbed one of his hands.
"Don't leave me." Qin Nan was startled and did not move or struggle. Based on her last experience, she knew it was better not to act rashly in this situation.
"Never leave me, okay?" Qin Nan was still standing there. She didn't know if he was conscious now or if he knew who she was. She guessed that he must have thought that she was Xiaoqing.
"Nan, don't leave me." The voice became quieter, but Qin Nan clearly heard him calling her name. Yes, he was calling her. He was telling her not to leave him. But today, it was him and another person.
What happened on a woman's engagement day? Qin Nan's heartbeat began to accelerate. Looking at Qin Bei who was breathing gradually more evenly, she felt vaguely that maybe things were not what she imagined.
