Chapter 251 This Is a Simple Little Love Song (Finale)
Coincidentally, the wedding date of Shen Yanqing and Nan Ge is only two days away from the Chinese Valentine's Day.
At first glance, it sounds like good news, but Nan's mother looked worried after checking the weather forecast.
Jiangnan is rainy, not to mention around the Chinese Valentine's Day.
Every year when this festival comes, there will be a heavy rain without exception, and it seems that it can't stop for two or three days.
"Mom, it's okay, it's just raining, not hail."
"It's not that you can't get married."
"You, you're making a fuss."
On the sofa, Nanzhe leaned on one side, playing with his mobile phone and comforting him half-heartedly.
Nan's mother glanced at him and said he didn't understand shit.
"What if it rains a little harder? You won't get wet at the wedding, but when you pick up the bride, you have to get into the car from the yard. And it's not convenient to move with so many people holding umbrellas, and it won't look good to take pictures at that time."
Nanzhe was silent for a few seconds, and replied: "You think too much. The weather is changeable, so you should relax."
Nan's mother curled her lips, saying that she was talking without any pain: "You are the only one in the family who is not enthusiastic about Youyou's marriage."
"Am I not enthusiastic?" Nanzhe sat up suddenly, exclaimed, and quickly defended himself, "I prepared the wedding banquet the day before the wedding by myself!"
"I've also shown it to you, I'm so attentive."
The wedding banquet is very important, because the bride's family will entertain all their relatives the day before the wedding.
The little princess of their Nan family is getting married, so the wedding banquet cannot lose.
Originally, he volunteered for this job, but his mother thought he was unreliable, so she gave it to his father after thinking it over. However, my father thought that as Nan Ge's eldest brother, he should take on the responsibility this time. So after many twists and turns, this matter was handed over to him.
Not to mention the location of the banquet, the menus at the banquet were all reviewed by him personally, and he tasted them one by one and decided them. The wines used were all private collections that he was reluctant to touch before, and he contributed them all this time.
Including the bouquets needed for the decoration of the banquet hall, they were all finalized after repeated discussions between him, the planning company and the hotel, and they were all airlifted on the same day.
These days, he has not spent more time in the company than in the banquet hall.
His secretary sent him a message today: Mr. Nan, I haven't seen you for almost a week!
Alas, he is worthy of being his employee. Others don't want to see the boss, but his secretary always hates him for not being able to make it, and wishes he would live in the company every day.
Let's roll him to death.
Nan Ge woke up from a nap, and just came downstairs when he heard his mother and Nan Zhe talking about the rain.
"Youyou woke up?" Nan's mother waved her hand and asked her to sit next to her.
Nan Ge asked and found out that they were talking about the possibility of rain on the wedding day.
She was stunned for a moment, then smiled indifferently: "Mom, it's okay. It's just raining."
This time, Nan Ge and Nan Zhe's reactions and thoughts were all the same.
In their opinion, rain is not a big deal.
It doesn't affect the wedding.
But the elders are always like this, worrying too much.
Originally, Nan Ge intended to hold the wedding outdoors, but then she thought that it was not appropriate to hold a wedding outdoors in the midsummer season.
She was not very afraid of heat, but there were many guests at the scene, and it would affect everyone's mood if it was too hot.
Now think about it, fortunately she gave up this idea at that time.
Nan's mother thought for a long time, and finally decided to install a glass canopy in the yard. In this way, when the bride is picked up in the yard, there will be no need for a big umbrella, and the lively atmosphere will be very good. When the time comes, just hold the umbrella when getting on and off the car.
Nan's mother has always been a man of action. It only took one day to get it done, and she also renovated the yard by the way. Even the flowers and plants that Nan's father planted in his spare time were removed by Nan's mother because they were too rustic and vulgar, and replaced with more festive flowers.
There were many guests at the wedding banquet the day before the wedding. Some of them were distant relatives and some were business partners.
In fact, there was no need to invite them, but because of the family's wedding, let alone these people, if Nan Ge hadn't stopped him, Nan Zhe would probably have even pulled in stray dogs on the roadside to set up two separate tables.
On this day, Nan Ge's two uncles and their families, including her younger uncle, also came.
Only grandma didn't come.
At the beginning, Nan Zhe didn't ask her if she wanted to invite, and she didn't take the initiative to mention it. The brother and sister knew it tacitly.
Many people present noticed that the old lady of the Nan family was not present, and some took the initiative to ask.
Nan Zhe just said that the old lady was old and it was inconvenient for her to attend.
After Nan Ge toasted, Lao Yu pulled her into a corner.
"Is your old lady not coming on purpose?" Lao Yu thought she was being bullied again and was angry for her: "What is this time? What is this old lady thinking?"
No matter how big the conflict is, she has to show up for her granddaughter's wedding, right?
Nan Ge waved his hand, "Don't worry. It's my brother who didn't invite grandma to come."
"Ah?" Lao Yu was about to say something dirty, but he stopped abruptly. He looked strange and secretly glanced at Nan Zhe who was talking to guests in the distance.
As the eldest grandson of the Nan family, Nan Zhe officially took over the company after the old man passed away.
From everyone's mouth, Xiao Nan, he officially became Nan.
In this kind of occasion, he is busier than his father and uncles.
Everyone wants to curry favor with him, so he can't get away now. Lao Yu didn't go up to ask him, and turned to find Nan Ge.
"This...did you discuss it with Brother Nan?"
"There is no discussion." Nan Ge shook his head, "However, it is indeed my idea not to come."
Old Yu was slightly shocked, but for just a second, he smiled happily and said, "This is right!"
He originally thought that on an occasion like today, Nan Ge would definitely consider the feelings of the whole family and take the initiative to invite the old lady over. No matter how much she doesn't want it in her heart, she will still choose to let go of such a happy event.
It was really unexpected.
"The old lady shouldn't be invited to tomorrow's wedding, right?"
Nan Ge nodded, folded his arms and laughed: "Why should I not find happiness in such a happy day?"
She didn't want to let go.
She is just stingy and wants to hold grudges for the rest of her life. Who stipulates that you must learn to let go?
Lao Yu didn't know what to say, so he could only give her thumbs up repeatedly.
At the end of the wedding banquet, Nan's father and Nan's mother took the car back first. Nan Ge and Nan Zhe walked last after seeing off Lao Yu. When they went out, they realized that it was already raining outside.
The waiter at the door held up the umbrella for them and brought it to the car.
After getting in the car, Nan Ge sat in the passenger seat and lowered the window a little, looking up.
"What are you looking at? Close the window." Nanzhe said.
Nan Ge hummed, but didn’t do it.
Nanzhe thought she was also starting to worry about the wedding, "This rain will stop long ago."
Nan Ge looked back at him and realized what he meant, so he explained: "No. It doesn't matter if it rains."
"And speaking of it, it was also a rainy day when Shen Yanqing and I met for the first time as adults."
"..." Nanzhe didn't want to hear their love story, especially since Nange was going to get married tomorrow.
Just a little exaggeration by her made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
He didn't answer, and Nan Ge didn't say much.
When she got home in the evening, she made a phone call with Shen Yanqing. It was also raining in Huaicheng.
"I don't know why. I was quite nervous two days ago, but I seem to be fine now."
She lay by the window watching the rain while chatting with him.
"And you?"
The man's laughter came from the other end of the phone, "I'm still very nervous."
Nan Ge blinked.
"But it doesn't matter. Don't worry, I'm ready to pick you up tomorrow morning."
Nan Ge smiled and arched his eyebrows.
"By the way, if it still rains when you come here tomorrow morning, don't drive too fast. Pay attention to your safety."
Judging from the current intensity of the rain, it may not stop tomorrow morning.
The two didn't chat for too long, because Nan Ge had to get up early to put on makeup and didn't have much time to sleep. Similarly, Shen Yanqing also has to get up early.
After returning to bed, Nan Ge was completely sleepless.
She lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling and began to think wildly. From the scene when she first met Shen Yanqing to the two of them together, etc., it was like a mime, passing through her eyes one by one.
By the time she finished recalling this, she saw that it was already two o'clock in the morning.
She got up and prepared to go downstairs to drink a glass of milk before coming back to rest.
As soon as she got out of the elevator, she realized that the light in the living room was still on, and Nan's father, Nan's mother, and Nan Zhe were both there.
When she appeared, her parents were a little surprised.
"Did you wake up?"
Nanzhe answered his mother's words and sneered: "Look at her like this, she didn't sleep at all."
He was really right. Nan Ge scratched his head in embarrassment and quickly changed the subject: "Mom and dad, why don't you go up and rest? It's already very late."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."
She thought her parents and Nanzhe were discussing something, so she didn't go to rest.
"Your dad, me, and your brother can't sleep either." Nan's mother clapped her hand, her eyes lovingly moving across her face inch by inch. In just that moment, Nan's mother's eyes turned red, "Mom has always thought that you are still a little girl, but you will get married tomorrow."
"My parents treated you very badly before, and it seems they didn't have time to make up for it."
"No." Nan Ge hurriedly shook his head, "My parents and my brother are very good to me. I am very happy."
Nan's mother wanted to say something more, but Nan's father interrupted in time and told her to stop crying.
"Yes, yes, you can't cry. It's a good day to get married, so don't cry."
When she cries, Nan Ge also sheds tears.
It is not appropriate to talk tonight because sensationalism is unavoidable.
Nanzhe hurriedly urged his parents to go to bed and rest, and then sent Nange upstairs, "Hurry up and go to bed. If you can't sleep, you are a sheep, so as not to look ugly in the morning when taking pictures."
Nan Ge endured it, but finally couldn't hold it back and kicked him.
——
In the morning, when Nan Ge was drowsy in sleep, he was woken up.
She sat on the couch and took a moment to doze off. Like a rag doll being played around with by the stylist.
Lao Yu and the others came here early in the morning, and I heard that, like Nan Zhe, they stayed up all night.
They often stay up all night drinking, so even at this time, they still look very energetic.
Nan Ge asked them to take some time to go to the guest bedroom to relax for a while, but they said no.
Nanzhe wasn't sleepy himself, but he was worried about others, "Let's all go get some sleep. It's still early anyway. It would be unlucky if he died suddenly on the way."
Everyone: "..." You really have such an unnecessary mouth.
Before changing clothes, Nan Ge walked to the window and took a look. Sure enough, it was raining again.
But with the awning there, she couldn't tell how heavy the rain was.
The sky was gray, but the lights in the yard were all on, with all kinds of red happy characters and various dowry things piled up in hills. Looking around, it was extremely festive.
It was quiet for a while. After the group of people woke up, the whole Nan family was very lively.
When they were making such a fuss, Nan Ge woke up from his nap.
My uncle came a little later, saying he slept too well because of the rain.
"Is it raining heavily outside?"
The uncle nodded and looked up at her.
Nan Ge had already changed into Xiuhe clothes and was sitting upright in the middle of the bed.
Calculating the time, Shen Yanqing and the others should be there in twenty minutes.
Before the groom came, Nan Ge took the time to inquire with his uncle about Feiyun Technology.
My uncle was not surprised that she knew about this company, and the recent collapse of the cooperation between Huasheng and Feiyun was no secret.
"Uncle, what is Feiyun's background? This time he has tricked Huasheng quite hard."
My husband feels sorry for himself. Shen Yanqing has been busy with this cooperation recently. Although the other party paid high liquidated damages, this is not worth mentioning in Shen Yanqing's eyes.
In contrast, he still hopes to continue cooperation.
"This is it."
Seeing that his uncle was hesitant, Nan Ge knew that he must know the inside story.
Also, judging from his brother-in-law's connections in the capital, it's not clear what's going on.
"Tell me, tell me, is there really no chance of cooperation?" Nan Ge exclaimed and acted coquettishly: "After all, that's your niece-in-law, too. You don't know how uncomfortable your niece-in-law was after the accident, so she had to hide. Cried in the room."
"..."
Just listen to this, my uncle doesn’t believe it. But in the end, she agreed. After all, she was getting married today, so she still had to give the child some sweetness.
"The reason why Feiyun Technology cooperates with Huasheng is because the people behind it are our own people. I won't go into details about who it is. But it is true that we cannot continue to cooperate in the future. Feiyun is not short of money, otherwise it will be our brother's With a few connections, it can’t be a small company... just for fun.”
"The details are a bit complicated. Anyway, just ask Shen Yanqing not to be obsessed. This matter is not about money."
"When we first cooperated with Huasheng, it was not because Huasheng offered the highest price. The first was of course because of Huasheng's status in the industry, and the second was definitely to give our own people face."
The uncle only said this until he was interrupted by Lao Yu and others.
Nan Ge didn't intend to continue asking, she already knew what she wanted to know.
Shen Yanqing arrived ten minutes earlier than expected.
Hearing the noise outside, Nan Ge quickly adjusted his sitting position.
Soon, the team to pick up the bride came up. The bridesmaids began to block the door and stuffed red envelopes one after another.
Nan Ge was busy watching the play, forgetting for a moment that he was the protagonist today. It wasn't until Shen Yanqing came in that her expression froze for a moment, and then she suddenly realized that she had to think about business.
The moment she was carried into the car by Shen Yanqing, Nan Ge was still in a daze.
When the car started, her hand was held. She smiled and asked, "Doesn't it look good?"
"Good-looking." Shen Yanqing couldn't take his eyes away from her.
As soon as he entered the door, he looked at her. He was stunned for a long time and was reminded by the best man before he came forward.
He had only seen pictures of this outfit, and this was the first time he saw Nan Ge wearing it.
——
Shen Yanqing and Nan Ge traveled back and forth many times on this section of road between Jiangcheng and Huaicheng.
However, this was the first time that the two of them looked at the scenery along the way so seriously.
In the past, the two of them always felt that this journey was so long. Every time we meet, it takes more than an hour to drive to see her.
I don’t know why, but it seemed like I was just in a trance, and I had already arrived in the urban area of Huaicheng.
Nan Ge couldn't help but feel a little emotional, especially when she saw the navigation showed that they had driven to Huainan Middle Road.
"Shen Yanqing, Shen Yanqing!!!" Passing by that intersection, Nan Ge excitedly shook the hands they held and motioned for him to look outside: "Do you remember? Here, right here!"
"of course I remember."
It's this intersection again, it's a rainy day again, it's the two of them again.
Under the lens, Shen Yanqing's eyes were gentle and he hugged the person, "I realized last night that we would pass by here today. At that time, I was thinking that if it rains again today, this might be a blessing to us."
——
The wedding venue adopted a pink and purple theme, and the venue was covered with roses. Knowing that Shen Yanqing had taken medicine, Nan Ge was not so worried.
For the first time, Nan Ge knew that getting married was so tiring.
As she expected, the wedding dress was really bulky. She had eaten nothing in the morning and had little energy. Although someone helped her lift the hem of her skirt, the short walk towards Shen Yanqing almost used up most of her strength. Moreover, she tightened her grip on Nan's father's arm throughout the whole process, using her strength to avoid making a fool of herself.
After all the procedures were completed, Nan Ge had time to take a breath.
He saw that her face was not very good, and he knew that she had not eaten until now.
Shen Yanqing was afraid that she would have hypoglycemia, so he helped her eat.
Nan Ge was too tired to pick up the utensils, but he had extremely high requirements for eating. Shen Yanqing took the trouble to be directed by her and fed her.
There was also a small banquet in the evening, just for young people like them, but it also consumed most of Nan Ge's energy.
On the way back after it was over, she couldn't hold on and couldn't sleep.
I woke up only after being put to bed.
It was a wedding night... But she had no intention or energy to do that kind of thing now. Shen Yanqing didn't want to torment her, so he helped her take a bath, remove her makeup, and let her continue to sleep.
There will definitely be no trouble tonight.
When Shen Yan came out of the shower, Nan Ge was lying on the bed listening to music.
Because he was wearing headphones, he approached Nan Ge and found him.
"Are you not sleepy now?"
“A little bit.” After taking a shower, she was not as sleepy as she was at the beginning. He was taking a shower, and she had nothing to do. She rummaged around the bedside and found an MP3 player.
This thing was hers. She and Shen Yanqing brought back a box of things from the apartment where she lived in high school.
She had kept it with Shen Yanqing. There were a lot of things in it, and bits and pieces of her entire youth.
Speaking of this MP3 player, there was a story.
She actually had a mobile phone when she was in high school. But it was confiscated by Nanzhe when she was in the third year of high school.
At that time, all the classmates around her were using MP3 players, so she secretly bought one.
Later, Nanzhe found out and wanted to confiscate it again. She cried for a long time before he gave it back to her.
Shen Yanqing got on the bed, lay down beside her, pulled the quilt to cover her, and moved closer: “What are you listening to?”
Nan Ge did not answer, but asked curiously: “Do you know what this is?”
When she mentioned this, her eyes sparkled, and she didn’t look like she was dozing off just now.
She seemed to think he was from the last century. Shen Yanqing smiled helplessly, "We are eight years apart, but I haven't used this thing before. But when you were your age, this thing should have been eliminated long ago."
"No." Nan Ge lay on the pillow, fiddling with the MP3 in her hand: "It was very popular in high school. Many people in our class had it. But I really didn't know what it was at first."
She had her own mobile phone when she was very young, and MP3 was not very useful to her, so she had never touched it.
"I bought this secretly in a small shop near the school. I lived on this in my senior year of high school."
"Hey, do you want to listen?"
She raised an earphone next to her and glanced sideways, with expectation in her eyes.
With his tacit consent, Nan Ge helped him put on an earphone.
One earphone for each person. When she was in high school, there was a couple who sat at the same table in her class, and they listened to music secretly in class.
At that time, she was curious and a little confused.
Unexpectedly, after graduating from college, she had the opportunity to practice it.
"What do you want to listen to? But all the songs here are popular when I was in school... You may not have heard them."
"..." Shen Yanqing sighed, took her MP3, and found a song that he was familiar with among her "non-mainstream" songs, and pressed play.
Nan Ge didn't see what he chose.
The prelude sounded, accompanied by a slight electric sound.
About forty seconds later, she heard a line of lyrics--
Almost instantly, Nan Ge tilted her head and looked out the window.
The rain outside hadn't stopped yet, and it was drizzling.
Retracting her gaze, she smiled and asked him: "Shen Yanqing, have you heard this song?"
"I have heard it."
Nan Ge deliberately said: "I don't believe it. Unless you sing it to me."
At this time, the song just entered the chorus, Shen Yanqing's eyelashes trembled, and his upper and lower lips touched lightly.
"You know, even if the heavy rain turns the whole city upside down, I will hug you."
He hummed softly, and his voice overlapped with the song in the headphones.
Nan Ge smiled with her eyes bent, and she lay on the pillow with her hands, looking at his eyebrows sideways.
Shen Yanqing sang the whole song seriously with a serious face.
"Well, your voice is too soft, I can't hear clearly with headphones, can you sing it again~"
Knowing that she did it on purpose, Shen Yanqing still followed her and smiled dotingly: "Okay, okay."
Nan Ge's eyelids drooped slowly when he sang it for an unknown number of times.
Before she became conscious, she felt Shen Yanqing take off her headphones. Soon she fell into a warm embrace, but the warm voice in her ears did not stop, one after another.
Like a whisper, she fell asleep with his figure.
Not long after, he paused for a while and ushered in a new beginning: "This is a simple little love song."
