The Dragon Beside Me
Her movement halted and the smile on her face froze.
Su Ruan had never thought that after meeting the man that she had loved for years again, he would suddenly drop such a massive bomb at her.
She did not know how to respond.
Her mind went blank and everything around her seemed to fade away. Su Ruan could see that Yu Zhi Yi was still speaking to her. However, at this moment, she could not listen. In her ears, Yu Zhi Yi was speaking some gibberish.
Su Ruan had imagined various scenes and possibilities of what her friend was going to tell her. However, she had never thought that this man was going to announce that he was going to get married.
Yu Zhi Yi is getting married?
Su Ruan realized that once he was really married, she would have no chance to be with him.
Her heart was breaking and her body numbed.
"Su Ruan?"
It was not until Yu Zhi Yi had nudged on her hand did Su Ruan finally snapped out of her trance. Her mind finally regained its focus.
"What are you thinking?" Yu Zhi Yi asked. "Why are you in such a daze? Are you alright?"
Su Ruan quickly composed her mind and flashed a smile at him. "I'm fine." She lowered her head and took a sip of coffee. When she looked up again, the panic had long disappeared. "I was just too shocked. Zhi Yi, I did not expect that you would get married so soon."
His lips curled into a smile, turning his expression soft and dazzling. "Un. I did not expect that I would get married this soon either."
Her heart shattered.
She had known Yu Zhi Yi for years and had watched as he dated a few girls. Su Ruan had never seen him smile like this before. Just from his expression alone, Su Ruan was able to sense just how much Yu Zhi Yi had feelings for that girl.
This time would be different. This time, Su Ruan was finally convinced that she will no longer have a chance with him.
"Shen Yue is such a good girl." Yu Zhi Yi leaned over with an excited look on his face. "Next week, when she comes to Capital City, I will introduce you to her. Su Ruan, I think you're going to like her too."
"I'm looking forward to meeting her as well. The girl who wins your heart should be a great person, right?"
Yu Zhi Yi laughed happily at her words.
Worried that he might see the look on her face and noticed that something was not right, Su Ruan lowered her head and drank her coffee again. Her long hair curtained her small face.
"The girl's name is Shen Yue?" Su Ruan asked. "I've never heard you mention her before."
Yu Zhi Yi laughed. His face was radiating with happiness. "Well, we might not know each other for too long but the moment I saw her, I know that she is the one."
Her eyes and nose stung but Su Ruan told herself not to cry. If she exposed her feeling at this time, she would be the one who would be embarrassed.
As she continued to listen to Yu Zhi Yi telling her about how he got to know Miss Shen Yue, Su Ruan wished that she could run away. However, she could only listen to him with that plastic smile on her face.
"Su Ruan, I have a request."
Su Ruan snapped out of her trance. "What is it?"
"You are my best friend. I want you to be at my wedding."
Her hand under the table clenched into a fist. "Of course. If you didn't invite me to your wedding, it will be the end of our friendship." Su Ruan tried to lighten her mood by making a joke. However, she thought that her words only sounded pathetic.
"What I'm trying to say is," Yu Zhi Yi paused as if the words he wanted to say next were a little difficult. "Su Ruan, I wanted you to be my best woman."
Su Ruan did not know how did she spend the rest of her meal with Yu Zhi Yi. When they parted, the smile that she had tried so hard to maintain finally faltered.
Her body grew weak. If she did not lean on the wall, Su Ruan would definitely fall to the ground.
Her heart was in so much pain. She wanted to cry so badly. However, she still considered that she was in public and she wanted to protect her dignity.
Yu Zhi Yi's request hurt her so much.
She could not accept or reject him. In the end, she could only say that she will think about it later.
Taking a few deep breaths, Su Ruan began to walk. She needed to go back home before she could finally let go of her feelings.
However, because she had her head low, Su Ruan did not notice the person in front of her and had run straight into him.
Su Ruan raised her head briefly only to see a tall man in front of her.
"Sorry." She continued to lower her head and hoped that the person would not make a lot of trouble for her. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, the man had already grabbed her wrist.
Her eyes widened. Su Ruan raised her head again, wanting to ask what he was trying to do when their gaze met.
The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.
The man was tall and handsome.
Su Ruan could not help but feel as if the man's eyes were a little familiar. She had seen them before. However, she quickly shook off that feeling. After all, she was very sure that she had never seen someone as handsome as this person.
"Are you alright?" Deep creases appeared between his brows. "You don't look so well."
The man's voice snapped her out of her trance. Seeing that the man was looking at her in concern, Su Ruan flashed him a smile. "I'm fine."
The man continued to observe her for a while before he finally nodded. "Miss, you need to be more careful."
"I know. Thank you." With that, Su Ruan quickly made a run.
However, after running for a few steps, something cold and wet fell on her head. The people around her started to run around, looking for a place to hide from the rain.
Su Ruan looked up at the sky. The sun was out but it was raining. As a few more droplets touched her skin, Su Ruan began to run to hide.
...
Long Fei finally retracted his gaze from that woman when he noticed that Long Yu Heng was running over to his side with a black umbrella in his hand.
"Long Fei, what's wrong?"
He immediately knew that his cousin was referring to the weather. "Nothing."
"You made it rain for nothing?"
Long Fei pursed his lips into a thin line. "I'm a little unhappy."
Long Yu Heng stared back at him in surprise.
Without bothering to explain, Long Fei walked over to their car which was parked at the side of the road. "Yu Heng... Come on.. Let's go back."
Chapter 9: A Little Unhappy
