I got married

  He silently closed her phone, regardless of whether Xia Weiliang had finished speaking on the other end. He clenched the small phone in his palm for a long time, until sweat was about to soak through it, before slowly opening his palm and calmly handing it back to her.

  This day was bound to come, he wasn't unaware of it, it's just a matter of sooner or later.

  Until the hard phone with a scorching temperature returned to her hand, Xu Liu seemed to have come back to his senses. Seeing his own phone being handed over from his hand, she grasped it tightly in terror and then turned around and fled out of the door.

  "Flowing Water Sound"

  Lu Zhou yelled out her name in shock and pain, turning around to chase after her but was forced back by his weak body, so he could only watch as she disappeared from view.

  Tang Yuhan rushed in at the sound of the commotion and was taken aback to see that he had pulled out his IV needle and jumped off the hospital bed, which also annoyed him.

  "Lu Zhouyue, don't you value your life?"

  He, however, exerted a great deal of strength to push him away, and with a fierce punch, he smashed into the wall, causing a layer of snow-white wallpaper to peel off instantly. Tang Yu was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were trembling, and it took a huge amount of brute force to pin him back onto the bed and rehang the IV drip.

  As his emotions gradually calmed down, Tang Yuhanchen finally spoke in a serious tone.

  "Isn't she just a woman? Must you be like this?"

  Lu Zhou gazed down at the needle inserted into the skin on the back of his hand, thinking about her resolute departing figure, and muttered softly.

  "Don't you also have a memorable first love?"

  Tang Yuhanchen was stunned by what he said, and the face that flashed through his mind was not the beautiful and cold face of his first love, but a gentle and obedient little face, always smiling at him with a good temper, softly calling him Brother Yuhanchen.

  Lu Zhou saw that he wasn't speaking and looked up at him with a distracted expression, saying in an equally serious tone:

  "When you meet the woman you deeply love, you won't say this to me anymore!"

  His good brother may have already met him, but he just didn't notice. Or maybe he did notice, but it was too late.

  He was told that Tang Yuhan shook his head and tried to shake off the clever smile in his mind, got up and left.

  "After tossing and turning all night, you should get a good rest now. I'll have someone follow your little girl from behind!"

  Lu Zhou could only nod in response, he was worried about her but his current physical condition didn't allow him to go find her himself. However, he also knew that the person she least wanted to see right now must be him.

  On a night when she learned that her first love had returned, who would have thought that they would meet the person who had separated them from their first love? Even if that person was now bedridden and frail, couldn't he evoke even a little bit of sympathy and heartache in her?

  He suddenly felt sad for himself, his stomach illness hospitalized, others just a phone call successfully made her forget him, the little affection that had sprouted between them was thus ruthlessly extinguished. Tonight, when she saw him fall to the ground, there was concern in her eyes, he somewhat hated that woman named Xia Weiliang who was as heartless as her.

  He lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep all night. At midnight, Tang Yuhans came in to change his IV drip and saw that he still hadn't fallen asleep. He shook his head helplessly and added some tranquilizers to the medicine, only then was he finally able to fall asleep peacefully.

  Xu Liu'er, clutching her phone, rushed out of the hospital in a frenzy, her mind a complete blank, with no idea where she was headed, aimlessly wandering the streets on that dark night. Some ill-intentioned thugs had thoughts of taking advantage of her, but upon seeing the two burly men following closely behind her, they were scared off and ran away.

  However, she was so absent-minded at this time that she didn't notice these things at all. She just walked mechanically forward along the empty road under the dim streetlights and somehow arrived at the riverbank.

  The most famous thing in N city is this river, which originated from the melting snow of the western mountains and wound its way east, completing nine bends and eighteen turns before finally emptying into the sea at this small, unknown town. The cool river breeze blew, and she regained some of her composure, opening her phone to see the many missed calls from Xia Weiliang, probably made while she was in a daze, which she hadn't even heard.

  Her slender fingertips danced across the keyboard for a long time before she finally gathered the courage to dial Xia Weiliang's phone number. As soon as the call connected, Xia Weiliang's anxious voice came through the receiver.

  "Liuyi, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you answer your phone just now?"

  She forced out a pale excuse

  "I'm fine, I just didn't hear the phone ringing..."

  Xia Wei Liang didn't continue to dwell on her not answering the phone, but instead said in a somewhat serious tone:

  "He's been asking me about you everywhere, and I don't know whether to tell him or not, but...I can feel that he still loves you—"

  Xu Liu'er disappeared from her classmates' sight after the college entrance examination, and no one knew which school she had enrolled in. Even some boys who had secretly admired her wanted to take the exam for the school she was in, but they couldn't find out about her school because only Xia Weiliang and Lu Zhouyue had handled her application form.

  "It's cool, I'm married!"

  Just as Xia Wei Liang hadn't finished speaking, she abruptly interrupted her.

  At this moment, she pinched her phone and suddenly felt extremely bitter in her heart. Perhaps this was fate. Chen Qingchu didn't come back early or late, but returned only after she was forced to marry that man. With the title of being married already on her head, what luxurious thoughts could she still have? Even if they met again, how would it be? Even if they still deeply loved each other, how would it be?

  It suddenly fell silent at that end, and half a day later, Xia Weiliang's sharp cry came.

  "Ahhh, Xu Liuyang, have you gone crazy? What's with the marriage? You got married and didn't even invite me to be a bridesmaid? Even if you didn't want to see Chen Qingchu, you could've just told me directly, I would've told him I had no idea where you were... why use such a ridiculous excuse to avoid..."

  Xia Weiliang was thoroughly stunned by her words, and she couldn't calm down to mutter to herself. She opened her mouth helplessly.

  "Refreshing!"

  Xia let out a deep sigh and finally returned to normal. She knew she wouldn't be bored enough to play such a joke on her,

  "Alright, who is it? Is he good to you? If not, I'll skin him alive, pull out his tendons and drink his blood!"

  "Lu Zhou Yue!"

  Xu Liu's gentle and soft three words immediately extinguished Xia Wei Liang's fiery remarks.

  The other end fell into a dead silence again, and Xu Liu felt that Xia Weiliang's originally weak heart would be shocked by her tonight, and it was likely to relapse with heart disease. Sure enough, after a while, Xia Weiliang's weak voice came over.

  "Wait, wait, I'll go take some medicine!" Xiū Liǔ couldn't help but force a bitter smile, as Xia Wei Liang had a mild congenital heart condition. She didn't want to stimulate her with such explosive news either, which was also why she hadn't mentioned it to Xia Wei Liang before. But now she had no choice but to say it.

  A rustling sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets was followed by the gurgling sound of drinking water, then Xia Weiliang's trembling voice rang out.

  "Emma, I've finally survived again, Xuliu, I never thought that one day I would die at your hands!"

  Although he knew Xia Weiliang was just joking, Xi Liujian couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he thought of the time Xia Weiliang had an episode.

  "It's just a slight chill, what are you talking nonsense about?!"

  Xia smiled slightly and changed the subject.

  "When was this?"

  "It's just a matter of days—"

  It suddenly dawned on Xu Liuyi that he might have known about Chen Qingchu's return when he insisted on bringing her back to N City that night, and why he had been so eager for her to marry him.

  Lu Zhouyue, you're so deep and sinister! She hated him until her teeth ached.

  "Liuyi, you're really not making any sense! Such a big thing and you didn't even make a sound!"

  Summer breeze is complaining at the other end, Xu Liuwen bitterly smiled with a sour face.

  "If you were asked to marry a man you don't love, and even somewhat hate, would you be willing to make it public?"

  She paused for a moment and then said with determination:

  "I don't know if you will or won't, but all I know is that I wish no one else knew about this except for the two of us!"

  Getting married is indeed a big deal in life, and it's perfect to get blessings from all relatives and friends. But if it's like her situation, marrying someone she doesn't love, what happiness can there be, what perfection can there be?

  "But I think, if that person is Lu Laoshi, it's actually pretty good..."

  Xia Weiliang thought for a moment and carefully chose her words before speaking. As Xu Liuyi's best friend in high school, she was very clear about the entanglement between Xu Liuyi, Lu Zhouyue, and Chen Qingchu. To be honest, she had never looked favorably on Xu Liuyi's relationship with Chen Qingchu, and because of this, the two friends who had never been at odds before had a big falling out.
